Chapter 24: The Sail (6)

Jingyi opened her mouth, and even her jaw trembled.

Tao Xiang's words were like a fist swinging one after another, smashing straight into the heart.

His anger, she could understand...... He was angry at her for concealment, which was tantamount to betrayal.

This wasn't the first time they'd spoken to each other so face-to-face as if they were stabbing knives into the softest part of each other's bodies. She knows that cruelty is always in the next sentence...... She couldn't have predicted what it was.

Indeed, there is fear in the heart. Because he is facing Tao Xiang.

"You remember what I told you last time." Tao Xiang puffed out smoke.

The smoke burned his mouth and stinged his throat.

The sting had tormented him not for a while.

Every time he thought of her kind, weak and obedient appearance, he couldn't avoid the idea that there might be evil intentions hidden under this appearance.

"Can I trust you, Jingyi?" Tao Xiang asked.

Jingyi raised her hand and covered her eyes.

Tao Xiang said in a deep tone: "I am willing to believe you." ”

Jingyi heard Tao Xiang's words. She heard it very clearly, and not a word was missed.

"I know you don't believe me. Now I don't ask you to believe...... That's my third brother...... I did say that I will never interfere in the affairs of the Cheng family or anyone in the Cheng family. But that's my third brother, Muzhi, even if he and I are not related by blood, the third brother saved my life...... He's already at a disadvantage, and I can't do it if I ask you to help him stab him. yes, I shouldn't confuse that...... His methods are despicable...... Cheng Zhichen is despicable, and so are you. Jing Yi wiped her eyes.

She didn't shed tears. The heart is empty, and there is nothing to catch to fill.

The pain of childbirth is already the most unbearable in the world. She had thought so, too. But now she knew that it was nothing compared to the pain of separation from her child...... She waited two days and looked forward to it for two days.

When her daughter is around, her milk is not enough to feed her; Her daughter was not around, and the pain of engorgement made her grit her teeth and couldn't help it...... She had to see her daughter.

She approached him step by step, holding his knees, and she crouched down and looked up at him.

Tao Xiang's brows furrowed.

Her big eyes were watery, and she looked at him, like two pools of still water, with rippling water.

"What do you want me to do? No, taking the girl away from me is just the first step. Next, should I be imprisoned in the Shadow Bamboo Garden? Like the sister-in-law, unless she dies, she will never come out again, and she will never see her daughter again? You're really ruthless......" Her throat was hard, she choked for a long time, gritted her teeth and continued, "Tao Xiang, why are you so ruthless?" You think I borrowed her to intercede with you, but you used her to punish me...... When you said you wanted this child, and you asked me to give birth to her peacefully, did you just wait for this day so that you could stab me to death with this soft knife? ”

Tao Xiang looked at Jingyi in silence.

Her hand on his knee shook incessantly, trying to grab him but couldn't. She yelled at him almost without inhaling, like a female leopard who had been robbed of her cubs and gone crazy, completely devoid of her calm and grace.

"You answer me!" Jing Yi shouted at Tao Xiang. Tao Xiang still looked at her in silence. This silence almost peeled off the flesh from her heart layer by layer, and she fainted with pain. She gritted her teeth, "I knew you would be like this, how could I have given birth to her......"

Tao Xiang reached out and grabbed her arm.

If Jing Yi could look at the anger that burst out of his eyes instantly, she might be more timid; But at this time, she was arched by her own anger, and she didn't care what Tao Xiang was like at all.

"Do you regret giving birth to her?" Tao Xiang asked.

"That's right! Not only do I regret giving birth to her, but I also regret many things! I shouldn't have been hot-headed and gave up the opportunity to stay in the United States that day, and I shouldn't have insisted on going back knowing that you were forcing me to come back...... The last thing you should do is to give birth to this child! Jingyi said loudly.

Tao Xiang twisted Jingyi's arm and lifted her up and threw her on the sofa.

"Cheng Jingyi!" He shouted angrily.

Jing Yi felt dizzy. She lay on the sofa, and for a moment, she turned her face violently, sneered at Tao Xiang, and said, "Do you want to force me again?" Come on! Tao Xiang, you are a man, don't bully me like this! You're still a father, so don't torture me with your children! ”

Tao Xiang stood beside her, watching her lips open one by one, her dark eyes full of resentment and sadness.

The lips have the most perfect shape...... But now he is spitting out the most cruel words.

"I can't take it anymore. I'm going to divorce you, Tao Xiang. Jingyi stood up.

She looked downwards at Tao Xiang's.

There was no change in the expression on his cold face, as if nothing she said could touch him, let alone hurt him...... She smoothed out her clothes.

At this time, she still wants to leave a little dignity for herself.

"Divorce?" Tao Xiang seemed to hear this word for the first time in his life, "I think you have forgotten what is going on right now." ”

"Where can I care about the situation?" Jing Yi snorted coldly. She looked at the bright light in front of her, which was enclosed by the lampshade. Her eyes hurt and her head hurt when she was stimulated by the bright light...... "I just know that I don't want to stay in this home for a day." You, I don't want to look at it more. I tell you plainly, no matter what, I will leave you and leave the Tao family. I'm getting a divorce, Tao Xiang. ”

Tao Xiang actually laughed.

Jingyi looked up at him and said, "Do whatever it takes." ”

"Really?" Tao Xiang asked. He smiled, the corners of his mouth still upturned.

Jingyi gritted her teeth with hatred and said, "Yes." ”

Tao Xiang turned his face to the side and chuckled: "It seems that you are confident." ”

"In the past few years with you, I have learned to leave a way out, just in case." Jingyi said.

"Let's talk about it first." Tao Xiang whispered.

He sat down, with long legs, and his posture was very good.

Jingyi looked at him.

This man is always very confident...... He simply didn't believe she had anything to negotiate with him.

Tao Xiang lit a cigarette. While smoking, she waited for Jingyi to say, and did not urge her.

The night was long, and he had time to wait for her to finish.

Jing Yi's voice was very low, and he said, "Since you started to control the military power in the northwest, you have done a lot of things that can't be put on the table...... Mingli prohibits the smuggling of arms and drugs, and sells arms and tobacco in private; Mingli was ordered to suppress the bandits, and secretly let the white bandits go for repeat offenders; also framed Fei Yuming for bandits...... You can say that these are all for the sake of anti-Japanese. But when these news spread, you are an out-and-out hypocrite with an Oriental mistress and illegitimate children - although Cheng Zhichen is trapped by you, the Central Army is not without people. They have won the Duan system and defeated the Bai system, and the battle line has gone all out to deal with you, how many chances do you have? ”

Tao Xiang gently exhaled a puff of smoke.

He didn't even look at Jing Yi, but Jing Yi seemed to see a flickering spark on his lips.

"Do you want me to say anything else?" She asked.

"For example?" Tao Xiang leaned over and flicked the cigarette ash gently.

Jing Yi watched as the ash fell into the lotus-shaped white jade ashtray, and the lotus stamen at the bottom of the jar was stained with dust.

"For example, in Dunhuang, what secret agreement did you make with Mr. Fontaine?" Her voice couldn't have been softer.

The cigarette between Tao Xiang's fingers curled and rose in a straight line.

His gaze was fixed on Jing Yi, and he didn't shift half a minute for half a minute.

Jingyi looked at him and said, "You don't have to say any more, right?" ”

Tao Xiang raised his eyebrows, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "You don't just ignore your third brother, you don't even care about your cousin." ”

Jing Yi was silent.

The corners of Tao Xiang's mouth curved, the smoke dispersed little by little, and asked, "What about the evidence?" ”

"I can talk to you, and naturally I have the evidence in hand." Jingyi said.

Tao Xiang looked at Jingyi for a while and said, "I thought you were helping Dai Mengyuan unconditionally." ”

Jing Yi turned her face away and whispered, "Fortunately, not." ”

Tao Xiang's pupils were dark and cold, but there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, "That trip back to Nanjing, you really did a lot of things." ”

"I will not use this evidence unless I have to. I don't have any other requirements, as long as you agree to the divorce, I will take you away. If you had promised me, the information hidden in the bank safe would not have seen the light of day in my lifetime. If I have any surprises...... The information will be sent to the newspaper office of your rival faction and to Suo Yanlin. Don't push me to go this way. Jingyi approached him, staring at his chestβ€”his chest was heaving widerβ€”and she smiled too, looking up at his face, big eyes blinking.

"The mind is also delicate." Tao Xiang seemed to really appreciate it, "Such a scheming is worthy of the name of Miss Cheng Shi." ”

Jingyi was still blinking. Starlight flutters from her eyelashes.

"Haruko's matter, how do you know?" Tao Xiang asked about this first.

Jingyi licked her lips.

After saying so much, my lips were dry. As soon as I licked it, my mouth was full of blood, and a sharp pain hit my heart.

"Congratulations, Commander Tao. You are a good child. She avoided answering.

"Also, I forgot, you stole my safe." Tao Xiang said.

Jing Yi was silent.

"I can't bear to say it until now, it's hard for you to calm down." Tao Xiang's face was calm, as if he didn't care at all.

Jingyi pursed her lips. The smell of blood between the lips and teeth is getting heavier and heavier.

Tao Xiang smoked a cigarette.

Only half of it was left, and he took a deep sip to the end.

――――――――――――

Dear all,

Ming'er wakes up early and changes later, so I can sleep well.

If you have a monthly ticket or something, don't take advantage of the increase to Ha, save until the end of the month 28-30 vote to change two. (Do you know?) Don't know, right? οΌ‰

This is the last time I asked Yunhu for a monthly pass, and everyone will keep it for other people's good articles next month. I'm not going to rummage through your pockets! O(∩_∩)O~

Thanks a lot.
