Part36 The Truth & Torture of the Year

Xia Yi was reluctant to scold Xia Zhiyao, but he was holding back his stomach and lungs and wanted to explode.

"Yaoyao, from childhood to adulthood, Dad has followed you in everything, you wanted to marry him six years ago, although Dad has never been waiting to see that stinky boy, but you like it, Dad endured it! But you can see what bad things he has done to you! Daddy must not watch you jump into the fire pit again! ”

In my impression, Xia Yi was rarely angry with Xia Zhiyao, but everyone could see that he was really angry today. Xia Zhiyao pursed his lips and lowered his head and was silent, Xiao Jiu wanted to step forward to persuade him, but was stopped by Beibei, who lowered his voice and admonished him. "Uncle is angry, don't hit the muzzle, he is reluctant to hit Yaoyao, but if you bump into it, you must not be strafed by the machine gun in turn!"

Xiao Jiu felt that Bei Bei was reasonable, and shrank back again.

The atmosphere condenses.

Xia Yi's body is not as tough as before, Xia Zhiyao rested on her knees with both hands, her palms were greasy with sweat, she pursed her lips, raised her eyes after contemplation and said, "Dad, don't be angry first." I'm not the same to him as I was six years ago......"

"What's that?" Gu Mingcheng said in the ward, "The two of them have been together for a long time", and the words were already seared in Xia Yi's mind. "Yaoyao, let me tell you, you want to marry Gu Mingcheng, unless you step over my corpse!"

She couldn't tell Xia Yizhi to say that she compromised with Gu Mingcheng for his medical parole, otherwise Xia Yiding would rather go back to prison than exchange his daughter's happiness for his freedom! Xia Yi has already said this, which means that it is impossible for him to forgive Gu Mingcheng for what he once did. Although Gu Mingcheng came to express his sincerity today, Xia Yi is a person who admits death. That's right, she is good to Gu Mingcheng...... It's time to start feeling nostalgic. But between Xia Yi and Gu Mingcheng, if she was taught to choose, she would only and could only choose Xia Yi.

"Dad, I can't explain it to you for a while...... However, I will fix it. I promise, I will-"

Oh, she hesitated. At that moment, my heart felt like I had been pricked by a needle.

Xia Yi raised his voice. "What's going to be going on?" He made it clear that he was forcing her to make a decision.

Xia Zhiyao closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were silent. "I promise that I will break up with Gu Mingcheng."

This sentence happened to fall into the ears of Yi Xu, who had just stepped into the ward.

However, when his gaze met Xia Zhiyao's, he seemed to see a faint but tangible sense of gloom in her eyes.

Judging from Gu Mingcheng's performance today, Xia Yi thinks that his feelings for his daughter have indeed changed during this time, but after all, he once hated it like that, how easy is it to forgive him? He couldn't let Xia Zhiyao take any more risks, in comparison, Yi Xu was more in line with Xia Yi's criteria for choosing a son-in-law. Moreover, he could see that Xia Zhiyao was not disgusted with Yi Xu. Therefore, Xia Yi gave a death order to Bei Bei and Xiao Jiu - to spare no effort to match Xia Zhiyao and Yi Xu!

Bei Bei and Xiao Jiutou came and went together with their heads down.

"Xia Zhiyao is married to Yi Xu, so Xiaoqiu doesn't have to play a tadpole to find his mother!" Bei Bei clapped his hands and applauded, "This is definitely a golden and jade relationship!" ”

Leng Buding was sneered at by Xiao Jiu's disdain. "I think that's what you said when you matched Yaoyao and Lu Nanteng, right?"

The corners of Beibei's mouth twitched heavily, hating him the most for bringing up the old things again! Bei Bei gritted his teeth, grabbed Xiao Jiu's ear and half-threatened: "Hehe, I didn't hear what you just said, why don't you tell me again?" ”

Xiao Jiu was afraid of the uncertainties of this violent woman, once he provoked her, the worst thing was at night, he didn't know how many times he was stomped out of bed by Bei Bei in a half-dream! Xiao Jiulian immediately laughed and begged for mercy. "My daughter-in-law is right! I obey the orders of the leader unconditionally! ”

Bei Bei raised her delicate eyebrows, "That's pretty much it!" ”

Yi Xu bought two cones and handed Xia Zhiyao a strawberry-flavored one, and she happily took it and took a bite. "Thank you!" And Yi Xu took the vanilla-flavored one himself, he tasted it, Xia Zhiyao pulled the corners of his lips and asked him, "How does it taste?" ”

"It's sweet." Yi Xu answered truthfully that he didn't like sweets.

Xia Zhiyao's eyes crooked. "No, yes, but eating sweets makes you feel good, that's what you told me!"

Yi Xu smiled faintly, and then took another bite, and the sweet taste overflowed the entire mouth.

It was late spring and early summer, and the sycamore trees were flourishing and the golden sun was beating. The two sat side by side on a stone bench by the street, each tasting a cone.

Yi Xu asked, "So, are you happy now?" Back to Gu Mingcheng, are you really happy? ”

Xia Zhiyao suddenly felt a faint bitterness in the strawberry juice in his mouth. "Do you know the truth? Before I met him, I didn't believe I could love someone like that. It was he who let me know that there really was a person in this world, and I was willing to give my life for him. ”

Yi Xu half-lowered his eyelashes as he watched the remaining half of the cone in his hand softened by the sun, and the vanilla juice overflowed and stuck to his fingertips, slightly cool. "I think I've seen it, just like six years ago, when you were beaten by thugs, you kept your two hands on your abdomen, and when you were pushed into the hospital, you were not clear, but you still insisted on pulling the doctor's sleeve and said that if necessary, protect the child first." If a woman is willing to give birth to a child for a man, she must be very loving.

"It's embarrassing, isn't it?" Xia Zhiyao smiled a little embarrassedly, "That was the second time." ”

Yi Xu raised his eyebrows lightly and stared at her.

Xia Zhiyao took another bite of the cone, and the sweetness of strawberries filled the tip of his tongue. "I have worked hard for Gu Mingcheng twice in my life."

"So...... When was the first time? ”

When was the first time?

It's too far away.

At that time, Ye Nian was still Xia Zhiyao's friend.

At that time, Ye Nian and Gu Mingcheng were not familiar with each other.

Xia Zhiyao and Ye Nian were on their way home from watching a movie, and they happened to bump into Gu Mingcheng who was practicing with a group of thugs. No matter how good Gu Mingcheng's skills were, he couldn't stand the strength of the other party, and he was suffocated several times in a row. It was all a small path, and Gu Mingcheng quickly got into the middle of a small road, leaving the group of thugs to look around with sticks. Xia Zhiyao wanted to rush out without thinking about it, but was stopped by Ye Nian. Ye Nian thought more thoughtfully than her: "The two of us going out like this will only be sent to death together!" Ye Nian has always had more ideas than her. The two decided in the fastest time that one would distract the attention of the group of thugs, and the other would save Gu Mingcheng.

Xia Yi was born in the wrong family, and Xia Zhiyao could also do some kung fu, so Ye Nian stayed to find Gu Mingcheng, who was bleeding, and Xia Zhiyao went out to lead away the gangsters.

She didn't lose her life that time, but she was stripped of a hand. One of the leaders of the group of gangsters said: "Originally, I wanted to abolish Gu Mingcheng to teach him a lesson, since you are willing to do it for you, then what are we polite?" ”

The wrist was hit hard and he was no longer able to hold the paintbrush.

After staying in the hospital for a whole month, Xia Yi was distressed and angry, and asked her what happened three times and twice, but she never said anything. If she said it, Xia Yi would definitely want to avenge her, and it would be small to hurt that group of thugs when the time comes, but if it affects Gu Mingcheng, she is not happy to see Gu Mingcheng repaired by Xia Yi. What's more, the middle Ye Nian came to her once. Ye Nian said: "Yaoyao, we both have to keep our mouths shut about this matter. What do you think, Gu Mingcheng is the future successor of the Gu family, and he is the No.1 in the heyday, if this matter is spread out, the Gu family and Gu Mingcheng will hurt their face! Also, you must also know that Gu Mingcheng is arrogant, and he is definitely not happy to listen to others mention this! So, let's just keep this a secret in our hearts, okay? ”

Yi Xu quietly listened to her finish this past. "So, Gu Mingcheng didn't know that you saved him from beginning to end?"

Xia Zhiyao finished eating the cone, and peeled a white rabbit and stuffed it into his mouth. "It's not that I saved him, the person who sent him to the hospital was Ye Nian."

Yi Xu groaned, and his fingers touched the tip of his nose. He is thoughtful, unlike Xia Zhiyao, who trusts others easily. Ye Nian's actions and words made him have to doubt.

Xia Zhiyao put his hands in the pockets of his jacket, leaned on the back of the stone chair leisurely, tilted his head slightly, and squinted at the sunlight in the thin gaps in the leaves. Yi Xu turned his head and looked at her side face, soft and beautiful. Please forgive him for being selfish and not wanting to remind her of this. If Gu Mingcheng missed it because of this, it would be because he was not blessed to have the beauty of Xia Zhiyao.

"I envy him." For the first time in his life, Yi Xu, the proud son of heaven, had envy for others.

Xia Zhiyao blinked his glasses, turned his head to look at him, and then pulled his lips and smiled slightly. "I must admit that I once loved him more than my life."

He didn't ignore the word 'was' in her words, "And now? Still in love? ”

Xia Zhiyao got up and kicked the pebbles on the side of the road on his toes. "A long time ago, I would think how happy I would be if one day he had a change of heart. However, no matter how good he was to me, it seemed to ...... I can't forget the pain, the hurt...... There are too many realities between us, Ye Nian, Ye Xiang, my dad, and Xiaoqiu...... Staying with him, we have only one possibility, and that is - unhappy. ”

Her voice fluttered into the ears of Yi Xu, who was standing very close behind her.

He was so close to her that she turned around and accidentally bumped into him.

She took a step back, but Yi Xu followed closely and stepped forward. "Now that you've figured it out, it's been so long to come to me. I give you 10,000 possibilities, and the end of each possibility is happiness! He seldom spoke in a strong tone, but when he did, it was a thoughtful and familiar decision.

Xia Zhiyao was shocked by his firmness, and she muttered for a moment, "However, this is not fair to you. ”

Yi Xu didn't seem to care. He smiled gently, "At least you're not unkind to me." Just stand where you are, don't run away, and I'll walk toward you at that hundred paces. ”

It's not that she was not moved in her heart, such a man, if she had met him one step earlier than Gu Mingcheng, maybe she wouldn't have come to this point.

The person who came to be a lobbyist for Ye Xiang was Hu Ziyu.

Gu Mingcheng's attitude was very tough. "Mom, you have never interfered in the company's affairs, I have decided on this matter, Ye Xiang must go to the branch in Singapore!"

Hu Ziyu was so angry by his attitude, Ye Xiang's two eyes that cried there were like peach pits, Hu Ziyu liked this girl the most, and when she saw her crying so sadly, she couldn't help but want to help her. Ye Xiang has always been not very suitable for Gu Mingcheng, and he doesn't know what went wrong with Lu Dao, why did his son suddenly make a 180-degree turn? Hu Ziyu didn't have a problem with him, but he didn't allow Ye Xiang to be bullied like this. She clapped her head, "Is it business?" Then I will resign for Xiang'er! As of today, she is not a heyday employee! Just stay with the Gu family full-time to accompany me! ”

Once Hu Ziyu is entangled, even Gu Sen can't do anything with her, let alone Gu Mingcheng. He's one head and two big. "Mom, I beg you, don't follow the fool, okay? Ye Xiang, she can't help but go! ”

Hu Ziyu's face sank. "Xiang'er is right, you are just fascinated by Xia Zhiyao's woman!"

Gu Mingcheng's face was even worse. "What did she tell you?"

"Don't care what Xiang'er told me, Mingcheng, she Xia Zhiyao will definitely not be able to enter the threshold of the Gu family!"

A light smile appeared on the corner of Gu Mingcheng's mouth. "Mom, what if I go to Xia's house with her?"

"You...... What are you talking about? Hu Ziyu couldn't believe her ears, and she couldn't believe that Gu Mingcheng really had a deep affection for Xia Zhiyao. Hu Ziyu's heart was shocked, "You, don't talk nonsense with me!" ”

His expression was very calm, and there was no trace of evasion in his eyes. "Mom, I'm serious. So, you have to accept it. ”

Originally, Hu Ziyu was still skeptical of Ye Xiang's words, but seeing her son's appearance, she had to believe it, this Xia Zhiyao is a scourge!

*

On the third floor of the hospital, Xia Zhiyao accidentally ran into a woman who said that she was strange but not strange.

Zhan Mu obviously saw her too, and walked in the direction where Xia Zhiyao was with a big belly. Xia Zhiyao was still holding Xia Yi's medicine in his hand, and when he saw Zhan Mu's round belly, he couldn't move his eyes, and his eyelids jumped violently.

Zhan Mu in pregnancy has a good complexion, and she is also fatter, and she is not so shrewd when she laughs, and she has a warm beauty. "Miss Xia, long time no see."

Xia Zhiyao is not as natural as her. "Hello."

Zhan Mu saw Xia Zhiyao's gaze fall on his bulging abdomen from time to time, "Miss Xia, don't get me wrong. This kid is not Mr. Gu's. ”

Xia Zhiyao, who was seen through his thoughts, was a little embarrassed, and laughed dryly. "I'm sorry, I'm ......"

"Conditioning, huh?" Zhan Mu smiled gently, "I've done some wrong things before, I'm sorry." At that time, he was too greedy, and he always expected people he didn't deserve at all. "There was something shiny in her eyes as she spoke.

Somehow, Xia Zhiyao remembered his former self.

Zhan Mu continued: "Actually, I really love Ming...... Oh, no, it should be Mr. Gu. Do you know why I gave up on him after I got to the worst? ”

Xia Zhiyao moved her lips, but she didn't say anything, it was really strange that she could say one, two, three, four.

That night, Zhan Mu did indeed drug Gu Mingcheng. She thought that since things couldn't be worse, it was better to break the kettle and give it a go, if Bo won, she will earn it, and if she loses, she will admit it. I didn't expect her to lose so early.

Gu Mingcheng hugged her and kissed her, it was all a drug-based trend. At first, he called Ye Nian's name. As soon as Zhan Mu heard those two words, he thought, okay, okay, Ye Nian is dead, if he loves a dead person, then he still has a chance. But she didn't expect that after Gu Mingcheng called Ye Nian's name a few times, he said "If you want to hate, hate me." Zhan Mu's heart was cold at that time, and the body he was holding instantly stiffened.

It was pieced together intermittently, and what he meant was "Let him carry all the responsibility and guilt alone, Yaoyao is innocent, don't hate her anymore." ”

Zhan Mu listened to his drunken chatter with tears in her eyes, and said that she was drunk and spit out the truth, but why did her heart hurt so much.

Gu Mingcheng was too drunk, he was drugged again, his mind was completely unclear, he said a drunken word, and held a warm fragrant nephrite in his arms, thinking that it was Xia Zhiyao, holding her face and kissing it. Zhan Mu didn't take the initiative to tease him, but he didn't respond again, his heart was dead, what was there to fight for.

She was almost taken away by him.

In the end, it was the man who had been chasing her and was rejected by her who smashed the door and came in, knocked the drunk Gu Mingcheng unconscious, and dragged her out.

After listening to Zhan Mu's words, Xia Zhiyao couldn't come back to his senses for a while. When Zhan Mu reached out to pull her hand, she was startled.

"Miss Xia, you're fine, right?" Zhan Mu saw that her face was not very good.

"It's fine." Xia Zhiyao smiled dryly, but he was a little uneasy.

In fact, Zhan Mu didn't necessarily see it completely when she came to this point, but she also knew that she coveted things that didn't belong to her, and what she got after the most was only a person's gloomy sadness. Instead of chasing him sadly behind Gu Mingcheng's back for a lifetime, it is better to choose a man who loves him. Although she doesn't necessarily love him, the feeling of being pampered is ...... Not bad! Before Zhan Mu left, it was best to tell Xia Zhiyao very sincerely. "I don't know what grievances and grievances you have, but he really loves you, not pretending."

The father of the child who was waiting not far away called Zhan Mu's name, she turned her head to answer him, and said goodbye to Xia Zhiyao. "Miss Xia, I wish you happiness."

Since inquiring about Zhan Mu's words, Xia Zhiyao has been confused, and his thoughts are in a mess.

She made an appointment with Gu Mingcheng to meet, intending to make things clear to him. The location was in a small shop opposite the hospital, and her head was still chaotic as she crossed the street, and with the sound of emergency brakes, a strong hand grabbed her arm and took her into his arms.

The driver was also taken aback, poked his head out and cursed a few words before driving away.

"Why are you so careless?" Gu Mingcheng was a little disgusted, if he took a step at night, maybe she would be injured.

Xia Zhiyao was firmly encircled in his arms, the tip of her nose was full of his taste, the familiar faint mint smell, she raised her head to look at him. "Why do you want to do this?"

Gu Mingcheng didn't calm down for a while. "Which one?"

She suddenly became a little angry, struggled in his arms a few times without saying a word, and began to punch and kick again. Gu Mingcheng was confused by her nervous state, grabbed her wrist and wondered, "What's wrong with you?" Didn't you have a good day yesterday? ”

Xia Zhiyao sniffed. "I'm not good, I'm not good at all!" She raised her eyes and glared at him, a little resentful, Gu Mingcheng was frightened by her. She shouted at him. "Why are you like that? If you don't want it, destroy it, and take it if you want it? I'm not an object, so why do you keep doing it to me? ”

Gu Mingcheng finally heard something meaningful. "No matter how bastard I am, it's the same as before, and now I can't wait to give you all my heart, and you still can't feel it?"

Xia Zhiyao didn't appreciate it and snorted coldly. "I don't want your heart, you better feed the dogs!"

She rarely scolds, but she didn't expect that when she scolded people, her mouth would be quite poisonous. Gu Mingcheng took a breath and stabilized his mind, "What's going on, can you tell me clearly?" I'm really worried about your state. ”

"I'm fine, I don't need you to bother! If you have this leisure, you might as well care about yourself! Xia Zhiyao pushed him away and stood at a distance from him.

Gu Mingcheng didn't know what Lu Dao Xia Zhiyao was thinking about now, so he was still in the mood to laugh. "I'll just throw my heart on you, and I won't take it back!"

Xia Zhiyao swallowed a sore throat. "Gu Mingcheng, listen up, I, want, with, you, break up!" In fact, it's not appropriate to say that it is inappropriate to break up, wasn't it a business relationship between the two of them in the first place, Xia Zhiyao made it clear, pulled his lips and smiled self-deprecatingly, "No, it should be that I want to dissolve the improper relationship with you!" ”

After confirming that Xia Zhiyao was not simply awkward but serious, Gu Mingcheng's face also became serious. "Yaoyao, don't joke with me about this kind of thing!"

Xia Zhiyao looked directly at him and said word by word: "I'm not joking. She took a deep breath, "You know how much we both get in the way. Not only Ye Nian, Ye Xiang, but also my dad and your family. What's more...... I can't get past this level in my heart! ”

Gu Mingcheng felt a pain in his heart, he unconsciously took a step forward, Xia Zhiyao immediately took a step back, she tried her best to make her eyes look less evasive. "Besides, I agreed to be with you at the beginning, it was because you used my father to threaten me, but Yi Xu was willing to bow to his father for me, and even gave up medicine and went back to take over the family's business. You see, he can do more for me than you can do for me, I don't know how many times more! In that case, why should I be wronged to stay with you? She clenched her fists at her side, her voice trembling as she spoke. But the words had already begun, and she had no intention of backing down. Swallowing his throat, he forced himself to say something that hurt him, "You don't even have the only weight now, why do you ask me to stay by your side?" Heh, get married? Don't laugh! ”

Every word of her words was like a knife inserted into Gu Mingcheng's heart, making his flesh blur and painful. Her tone was so firm, her expression was so refusal, she didn't even leave him the slightest room to maneuver.

He's been working so hard to get it back, so can't he?

No, how could she turn away after he finally fell in love with her?

He spoke, only to find that his voice was hoarse. "Yaoyao, I beg you, don't leave me?"

How could Gu Mingcheng, who was high above, ever whisper so low?

But she can't be soft-hearted, of course she can't, for Xia Yi, for herself, she can't. She smiled lightly and looked at him with disdainful eyes. "Gu Mingcheng, listen up, I, never, yes, will not marry you!"

At that moment, Gu Mingcheng's eyes were darker than this gloomy sky, Xia Zhiyao didn't look over his head and didn't look at him. "Don't come to me in the future."

She turned and walked back, and he grabbed her wrist again. She turned her cheek sideways, and her cold gaze fell on his eyes. "Don't force me to say anything nasty!"

In fact, he didn't hold it tightly, so she shook off his hand at once.

The moment I turned around, my eyes were slightly red.

It's finally over, right?

There is a taxi parked not far away.

Ye Xiang in the back seat took in all this.

Unexpectedly, it was Xia Zhiyao who dumped Gu Mingcheng?

So, does it mean that she ...... Is there a chance?

Xia Zhiyao, please, if you want to go, go thoroughly! No, to, force, me, again, move, hand!
