149. Chapter 149: The Truth
It's no wonder that her father was not as good as she used to be after the fire until her so-called death, and it is no wonder that her father always cast mixed eyes on her, including pity, and occasionally showed resentment about her mother's death when she couldn't see it.
I remember the part when my grandfather fell ill, and I didn't like her to go to the ward. It wasn't until she was dying that she was on her last breath that he called her to the hospital bed, grabbed her hand, and the strength was so great that it seemed to be back to the light, so he stared at her directly, as if he was dead and muttered, "Wanton, all this is a certainty, grandpa doesn't blame you!" No matter what happens in the future, you don't hold a grudge against your grandfather, and don't hate anyone in the Lin family. Since you grew up in the Lin family, you are the granddaughter of the Lin family, and you are also the heir that the Lin family has recognized since childhood! You remember, our Lin family will rely on you in the future, grandpa hopes that the Lin family's defeat will be yours, and the success will be yours! You have to promise your grandfather that no matter where the Lin family goes in the future, you must remember that you are born from the same root, you must be generous and kind to Shiya, and you want your eldest sister to be like a mother, no matter when, you must protect Lin Lin and Lin Yi as if you were protecting your own life......"
At that time, she knelt in front of her grandfather's bed and cried breathlessly, and for the first time knew that her younger brothers and sisters were not torn up, but were fostered by her grandfather at the most prominent grandfather's best friend's house in the capital at that time - Qiao's family.
At that time, she cried with joy and solemnly swore that if one day she found out that the fire in Kwai Yuan was really related to Pei Mingzhu and tore her face and drew a knife to meet each other, she would leave Lin Shiya a glimmer of life! If there is really something wrong with the Lin family, she Lin Shi will shoulder the responsibility of taking care of her younger brothers and sisters even if she exhausts her life, and she will never change in this life!!
didn't know that grandpa had already known her bloodline, not the Lin family! has long known that Lin Shiya is the daughter of Lin Xiaoshang and her ex-fiancée Bei Mingzhu out of wedlock.
At that time, the Pei family could be said to be the richest man in the city, and Pei Zhan was the heir who had long been declared and cultivated in the Pei family, according to Pei Zhan's feelings for her, her father could naturally force Pei Zhan to obey with his own bloodline, so that even if Bei Mingzhu, who had a strong backer at that time, was ambitious, he would not dare to attack the three of them.
Her father took a fancy to her early in the morning and made a will to make her Lin Shiyu the largest shareholder of the Lin Group, not to compete with Pei Mingzhu, but to pave the way for the Lin Group, because her father knew that even if the bloodline matter overwhelmed Pei Zhan for a while, it could not be a lifetime, Pei Zhan's feelings for her, she knew it, her father knew better, and it was not an exaggeration to say that Pei Zhan loved her so deep that it was unfathomable. In this way, no matter whose child she is, the Lin family's inheritance will naturally be preserved.
The Lin family needs to have more power, in addition to competing with the Pei family, but also needs the support of the Pei family to stabilize the company and family.
From the very beginning, they had already taken a fancy to Pei Zhan, and Pei Zhan, who loved her deeply, could indeed be worthy of a great responsibility.
Thinking of this, Lin Shiyu actually wanted to laugh, and while laughing, she looked at Pei Zhan, "Is it your idea to only protect me all these years but resist the lovesickness and not recognize me?" ”
"It's me." Pei Zhan turned around and met Lin Shiyu's questioning gaze, with deep apology in his eyes, "After the fire in Kwai Garden, I found out that there was another mystery in the death of your mother, your grandfather and your uncle, and I was afraid that the mastermind behind the scenes would be unfavorable to you, so I privately made an appointment to meet Father Lin many times in the Macau casino, and also met your aunt Qiu Ruoshui......"
He didn't have to finish speaking, Lin Shiyu already understood.
She smiled, she could only smile, and nothing else could support her remaining pride.
"So what about being plotted for many years as a pawn after I lost my memory?" Lin Shiyu spoke slowly, word for word, trying not to let her voice tremble.
Pei Zhan frowned at her, with a hint of guilt and unbearable, and his eyes lingered on her stubborn face for a long time.
Lin Shiyu raised his head, looked at him stubbornly, and waited for him to continue.
"This is also the wishful thinking of Father Lin and your aunt for revenge, there is no such article in the agreement, I only promise not to recognize you for the time being, but I will not let you be in danger no matter what, and from beginning to end I will personally or send my own people to protect you around you! Many times I knew in advance about the plans of those who were plotting against you, and then made protective measures for the plan that could not only lead to the people behind the scenes, but also make foolproof protection measures, only the plane crash was not within the scope of my knowledge, it was your aunt who was anxious, and there were also several forces that were anxious, so I turned my face with your aunt. It just so happened that you also graduated and returned to China, but the encounter at the airport was really accidental! Seeing that you were hunted down when you returned to China, it prompted our wedding to be put on the agenda as soon as possible, oh yes, we were not engaged that time, in fact, we were married, because, I had already used my relationship to get a marriage certificate in your absence the day before the engagement, that is to say, you are now - not my girlfriend, nor my fiancée, but, my only wife! ”
Pei Zhan's words were spoken very quickly, and he only picked up the key passages, and seemed to be unable to bear to elaborate on them one by one.
Lin Shiyu was in a trance for a while, and raised her eyes in a daze, "All the reasons, is this really the case?" ”
"Yes!" Pei Zhan looked at her deeply, his eyes were full of pity and guilt, but he only answered this one word.
"I'm married to you?"
"Yes! We are legally married! ”
Lin Shiyu looked down at every word he said, trying to find a loophole to refute him and prove that all this was a lie.
But it didn't work, not only could I not find the loopholes, but the more I thought about it, the clearer it became, and many forgotten details, looking back at this time, actually matched his words one by one. Even, there are some things that she secretly questioned back then...... It's just that at that time, she would never have imagined that all this came from her dearest and trusted family.
She wouldn't, and wouldn't dare to think so.
Grandpa, father and aunt, how could it be that they deceived her, used her, and still concealed her to this day, putting all the blame on Pei Zhan, so that she will always sink into loneliness and resentment, just like another aunt who loves her uncle-in-law and wants to kill, there is no amiable person around her, she can only rely on hatred forever, growing day and night, until she runs out of oil and lamps for the rest of her life.
However, it's them, it's them.
Others can lie to her, but she can't fool herself anymore.
Everything is already clear and clear.
The weather in September was originally not hot or cold, but Lin Shiyu was like being immersed in ice water, so cold, so cold that it was cold to the bones.
"Wanton." She heard Pei Zhan's voice, and heard him call her the name she used to call her the most.
She looked up at him blankly, watched him walk up to her, put his arms around her shoulders, and gently wrapped his arms around her.
His embrace, which was originally low, was very warm at the moment, just like his voice, full of pity, "You are trembling." ”
"I didn't!" She raised her head, and the stubbornness that burst out from the bottom of her heart made her suddenly have the strength to break free from his arms, "Who said I trembled, I didn't ...... Don't touch me! ”
She felt pain, all over her body, and couldn't tolerate anyone touching her again.
"You, get out." She held on to the glass door, struggling to stand still, unable to hold back the trembling of her whole body.
He looked at her without saying a word, and his apologetic and pitying gaze became more and more like a knife cutting at her.
Lin Shiyu turned her head, no longer looked at him, and said dejectedly, "I'm fine, let me be quiet alone." ”
Pei Zhan was silent, and after a long time, he heard him turn around and leave, and the sound of footsteps walking towards the door.
She couldn't support it anymore, and fell to the white pure cashmere floor, burying her face deep in her palm.
There was nothing empty in my mind, only tears rolling down.
I couldn't think of anything, I couldn't say anything, I could only let the tears flow freely.
Suddenly warmed up, Lin Shiyu looked back in shock, and forgot to wipe away the tears.
Pei Zhan leaned over a nightgown and draped it over her shoulders, and only whispered, "I'm outside." ”
Watching him turn away, she suddenly panicked, and felt that the whole world was lonely.
"Pei Zhan......" Lin Shiyu called him in a dumb voice, and the moment he turned around, tears rolled down again.
Pei Zhan stepped forward and hugged her into his arms.
"It's all gone." He stroked her silky hair, "Those things are in the past. ”
He hugged her so tightly that there seemed to be no gap between them, and his legs squeezed into the knees she had been kneeling for two hours.
Lin Shiyu endured the pain and kept silent, lest as soon as she made a sound, she would lose this warm embrace.
Pei Zhan's chin touched her cheek, because of her sudden disappearance and tossing for a day, his smooth chin actually gave birth to a slight stubble, gently pricking her delicate skin, faintly stinging and peaceful.
"Although some things are in the past, some things are not over, even if it is not for the safety of Lin Lin Lin Yi or the rise and fall of the Lin Group, you will have to face your life experience after all, you can't avoid it for the rest of your life, and you can't be depressed and mourn." Pei Zhan stared into Lin Shiyu's eyes and said word by word, "From now on, you are nothing, just my woman, the only woman who will go to this life with me, I don't allow you to be cowardly!" ”
Ten years have passed, and she has come alone all the way, but only the nostalgia and trust of her relatives have always supported her.
And this supporting force finally collapsed with the arrival of the truth.
In her heart, the once immaculate fairy tale world has lost all its brilliance since the truth; Now it has finally fallen from nine days to dust and turned into rubble. Since then, even if her face is still the same, her surname has not changed, and she is happy in her memory...... And it was no longer the way it was.
Since this minute and this second, everything has been different.
In her life, Lin Shiyu has never cried so embarrassed.
When I lost my grandfather, mother, and father, I was heartbroken, but I didn't understand that there was another kind of injury in the world, which would tear people's hearts and lungs, and make hearts shatter into powder and then crush to dust.
There used to be grandfather, father, mother, younger brother, sister, and aunt...... Now she has only the arms of a man who loves her deeply.
That night, Lin Shiyu didn't remember what she said, nor did she remember what Pei Zhan said.
I only remember that she was wantonly in his arms, crying like a child.
