135. It is a last resort
Lin Shuang chuckled in her heart, and slowly withdrew her hand, her expression contradictory and complicated.
"Girl, a man is about to die, and his words are also good. From the beginning, I was the one who knew you best. When Mrs. Dong said this, her emotions were obviously a little excited, accompanied by a light cough with uneven breathing.
At this moment, Lin Shuang thought a lot, whether it was before or now, painful and happy, all of them were like a flood beast, which instantly engulfed her thoughts, and her expression suddenly became very calm.
"Not back." She whispered those three words, in a soft but firm tone.
A trace of surprise flashed in Mrs. Dong's eyes, and there was also an indescribable light: "With Luo Han, you will indeed have no worries about food and clothing in the second half of your life." ”
Lin Shuang didn't want to explain that she didn't have such thoughts at all, after all, she was not a virgin.
"Girl, but you have to think clearly." Old Mrs. Dong sighed heavily, "You are no better than other women, for you, losing something is tantamount to losing yourself." No one can guarantee that everything will remain the same. What if you don't have his love in the future? ”
Hearing this, Lin Shuang's eyes reddened: "I promised him that I would be fine in the future, unless he asked me to leave." This time, I don't want to lie to him again. ”
"Then you don't want to think about it, what will you do in the future?"
"If it's really that day...... Lin Shuang squeezed out a smile jerkyly, "we don't owe each other." So...... No matter what you say to me, Grandma, I will never leave him again. ”
The room was quiet for a moment, and then the laughter of Mrs. Dong accompanied by a cough sounded.
Lin Shuang couldn't understand why her smile was full of satisfaction. "I'll ask Steward Li to pour some water for you."
"No, you don't." Old Madam Dong hurriedly stopped her, "Girl, remember what you said this time, unless Luo Han doesn't want you anymore, you can't leave him again." You guys...... It's all going to be good. ”
"Grandma......" Lin Shuang couldn't accept her diametrically opposite change for a while, but she seemed to understand......
"I'm going to die, what's the point of clinging to those things?" Mrs. Dong herself began to explain, "But...... I hope to confirm your intentions before leaving. In this world, there are only a handful of people who don't want their children and grandchildren to be happy. Sometimes, I also want to be a kind and kind mother and grandmother...... It's just ......" After speaking, helpless and bitter tears appeared in the old man's eyes.
"Grandma......" Lin Shuang's heart swelled up with discomfort, and she quickly showed a smile, "Didn't you say you liked me pressing your shoulders before?" I'll give you another click. ”
Mrs. Dong shook her head with a smile, and slowly took out a notebook from the bedside table: "Girl, I don't have much time." But I owe you an explanation. ”
"What explanation."
"Didn't you ask me why you chose you in the first place?"
Yes, Lin Shuang has always wondered about this question, and having nothing is not the most appropriate reason.
"Actually, I didn't choose you...... It's that he chose you......" Mrs. Dong said, handing her a photo sandwiched in her notebook.
The girl in the photo is wearing a ponytail and holding a book in her arms, standing next to the rest chair on campus, with a slightly stunned expression, as if she is waiting for someone and thinking.
Lin Shuang's hand that took the photo trembled a little, and she looked at herself in the photo, as if she was in a different world.
She vaguely remembered that day, she was sullen because she had some conflicts with her seniors. When Tintin came to her, he also babbled that someone was secretly filming. Lin Shuang looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough, she saw a tall boy wearing sunglasses and holding a single-lens reflex in his hand, and the camera was aimed at them.
It's just that in the next second, the boy's camera is facing elsewhere.
Therefore, Lin Shuang didn't take it to heart, just said that people were taking pictures. provoked Ding Ding to pity again and again, and laughed that such a handsome guy, why can't he even take pictures of such two beauties.
Originally...... She really stayed in his shot.
"After Luo Han's accident, I found it when I was sorting out his things, and there are many more, all of them are you." Mrs. Dong added.
"Probably...... It's just not intentionally photographed. ”
Mrs. Dong smiled: "Luo Han was obsessed with photography at that time, but he was only obsessed with scenery. You're the only girl in his photo album, so how could it be unintentional. ”
"At that time, did he know?"
"Of course not."
"And then?"
"I want to ...... When you meet again, he will know who you are......"
Lin Shuang's chest seemed to be pinched hard, it hurt very much, but she was full of emotion. "Grandma, why are you telling me this?"
"To keep you on a leash." Mrs. Dong did not change her straightforward style, "Maybe...... This is the last thing I can do for my grandson. Girl, promise me to help me guard Luo Han, just like you insisted on. You guys...... There is this fate. ”
Lin Shuang nodded, and then saw that Old Lady Dong frowned, stretched out her hand to cover her chest, and her expression was painful.
"Grandma." Seeing this, Lin Shuang immediately reached out to support her and helped her lie down carefully.
"It's okay, it's okay." Old Madam Dong's voice was much softer than just now, "Remember, don't tell that kid these words of mine." It's a secret between the two of us. ”
How could Lin Shuang not see the pain and regret on her face, she was extremely sad in her heart, and after hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but say, "How about we make an agreement?" ”
"I'm leaving, and you still have to negotiate a deal with me?"
"If you live two more years, I promise...... Bear you a great-grandchild. This is the only way Lin Shuang can think of, not a way.
Old Mrs. Dong looked at her motionlessly, and then smiled gratefully: "Girl, your kindness...... Grandma remembered. It's a pity that grandma really can't wait...... If...... When this day comes, remember to come to Grandma's grave and say, Grandma thank you. ”
"No, I can't. When the time comes, I tell you, you won't know either. Lin Shuang's eyes were full of tears, "You are so strong, you still live and wait for this day." Really, I promise, I won't break my word. Okay? ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Dong couldn't control it anymore, her eyes were full of tears, and her voice trembled and replied: "Girl, do you know what I'm most afraid of you?" ”
"Grandma is so powerful, will she still be afraid of me?"
"Of course, no one is invincible. What I'm most afraid of...... It's your kindness. Because of this thing, I feel that I really am not a good old man, and I don't deserve to be called grandma. As she spoke, she sighed heavily, "I'm so tired...... It's not bad to finally be able to rest. People, how can you not leave some regrets, don't you? Girl, call me grandma again, help Luo Han call me grandma......"
Lin Shuang looked at the old man's eyes that were about to close, his mind was blank, and he said without hesitation: "Grandma, you still want to see someone." There are no regrets when you see it. ”
"Luo Han...... It's gone...... One day he'll understand. ”
"It's not. It's not Ji Luohan. Lin Shuang was so anxious that she couldn't do it, "It's something you've never seen and what you want to see the most." ”
"Who?" Mrs. Dong opened her eyes again.
"Don't sleep, promise me not to sleep." Lin Shuang stood up as she spoke, "I promise, you won't regret it." Be sure to wait for me, promise me. ”
After Mrs. Dong nodded, Lin Shuang called Steward Li in, asked her to accompany the old man, and repeatedly asked the old man not to close his eyes.
After leaving the room, Lin Shuang called Xiao Tao: "Can you do me a favor?" At the fastest speed. ”
......
Half an hour later, Lin Shuang re-entered the room with her sister in her arms.
"Old lady...... The young grandmother is back. Steward Li called softly, and Mrs. Dong opened her heavy eyelids again and looked at the little person in Lin Shuang's arms.
In the next second, Lin Shuang sat down, put her sister on her lap, and her voice trembled softly: "Grandma......"
"This kid ...... Who is it? ”
The younger sister kept staring at Mrs. Dong with big blank eyes, and suddenly hugged Lin Shuang's neck with some fear.
Lin Shuang patted her sister's back and whispered a few words in her ear.
The younger sister hesitated for a moment, looked at the old lady again, then climbed onto the bed, went to the old lady's side, imprinted a kiss on her pale face, and then quickly ran back into Lin Shuang's arms.
Lin Shuang desperately held back the tears in her eyes, and looked at the old man who seemed to understand a little: "You won't leave with regrets, this kid...... It's your great-granddaughter. ”
The room was very quiet, and Mrs. Dong's eyes widened even more: "This kid ...... Is that the kid? It's clear that it's flowed out, why ......"
"Nope." Lin Shuang's voice choked, "It was indeed dangerous at the time, but Dr. An still helped me save it." It's just that at the time, I really didn't want to go any further. I don't want my child to become a second Ji Luohan. ”
Mrs. Dong didn't say anything else, but tears welled up in her eyes: "What is the child's name?" ”
Lin Shuang adjusted her breathing: "The nickname is 'sister'." ”
Old Mrs. Dong sighed, and a smile of no regrets appeared on her face.
At this time, the half-covered door of the room was pushed open, and with the sound of heavy footsteps, Ji Luohan walked in with a heavy expression.
Lin Shuang stood up in shock, met his red-colored eyes at a loss, and subconsciously hugged his sister tighter. She was terrified of his current gaze, which was full of hatred for herself.
But Ji Luohan did not walk towards her, but walked in front of the old lady's eyes, although he didn't say a word, his eyes softened.
Mrs. Dong faced him with a tearful smile, her eyes suddenly became trance-like, and after a while, she said, "Luo Han...... Don't you like that car, what is the name, grandma always can't remember. You wait a while to tell Steward Li the name, I'll ask Steward Li to order it for you, but first say okay, safety first, do you hear? ”
"Old lady......" Steward Li immediately covered his mouth, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Remember...... Those old courtiers are to take care of it. But they are old, their thinking is old, but the company must improve. You can kick them when it's time to kick them out, but remember...... After all, they are people who have dedicated half their lives to the group, and they should have no less protection. Old Mrs. Dong was still staring at him and said slowly.
"I see." Ji Luohan responded in a clear voice and slowly sat down on the edge of her bed.
"Luo Han, ......"
Ji Luohan was quiet for a long time, and finally called: "Grandma...... I'm here ......."
"Aren't you going to Disney with your mommy daddy this summer?" But the old lady seemed confused again, "I told your father to let him free up time." But don't go crazy, you can't fall behind in your homework, do you know? ”
"Yes." Ji Luohan's eyes were so red that he seemed to be dripping blood, and he reached out and shook it.
The moment the old lady shook his hand, she smiled: "Steward Li...... Luo Han is coming back from boarding school...... Let the kitchen cook the dishes he likes to eat. ”
"Got it, old lady, I'll go." Steward Li didn't dare to make a trace of crying, and forced himself back.
"The matter of Dong Liu, let the lawyer deal with it quickly. Let him stay in the company, and he will definitely endanger Luo Han in the future. ”
"Don't worry, old lady. The lawyer just called and said that everything had been dealt with. That Liu Dong agreed to quit the board of directors. ”
"That's good, that's good."
"And ...... Tell those two people...... The money they ask for will be given to them. If they dare to tell my grandson the truth and hurt my grandson, I will never let them go......"
"Got it." Steward Li bit the back of his hand and couldn't control his crying anymore.
"Is Luo Han back? ......”
"Grandma......" Ji Luohan's eyes were full of tears, "I'm back." ”
"It's good to be back...... It's good to come back......" Old Lady Dong patted his hand with her other hand, and then slowly closed her eyes with a whisper, "It's okay to have grandma here......"
Lin Shuang knew that this moment had finally arrived, so she handed over her sister to Steward Li and rushed to the bedside: "Grandma...... Don't sleep ......."
But the old lady did not respond any more, with a smile on her lips, and her face was so peaceful that she seemed to fall asleep......
Lin Shuang stretched out her hand to probe her snort, and the tears in her eyes rolled down her face: "Grandma is gone." ”
Ji Luohan withdrew his hand expressionlessly, stood up unsteadily, and whispered to Steward Li, "Help grandma prepare for the future." Then he walked out.
Lin Shuang looked at the old lady's face that was not painful at all, wiped away her tears, and showed a smile: "Grandma...... Rest in peace. ”
In the middle of the night, Lin Shuang returned to Ji Zhai. She first handed her sleeping sister to Peach. Xiao Tao took the initiative to tell her that the young master had returned to the room.
She didn't want to uncover it in this way, but sometimes, it didn't work out her way.
Before she pushed the door open, she was calm. But after entering, when she saw Ji Luohan's back by the window, her whole heart hurt terribly. She seemed to have become a sinner again, a sinner who had deceived him.
She walked over lightly, mustering all the courage to appear in front of his eyes.
Ji Luohan stared at her sadly for a long time, not going crazy, and not questioning.
"This is what I was meant to tell you." She tried to stay calm, "but the timing was wrong." ”
"Original...... Someone has to die, the timing is right. Ji Luohan had no luster at all, and his voice was like a lifeless ghost.
Hearing this, Lin Shuang really felt a hundred times more painful than cutting meat. "I have to do it!"
"That's my child......" Ji Luohan's voice finally gained some strength, "You let me ...... I don't know for a few years...... Her presence. ”
Lin Shuang's eyes filled with tears: "Don't forget, you never wanted this child." ”
Ji Luohan was stunned.
True, from the very beginning he strongly resisted the child. Because this woman is close to herself for the sake of her children. All her kindness to herself, all her feelings, are just completing a task.
As long as the task is carried out, the woman will leave with peace of mind...... Never to return to his crippled side...... Never go back.
So at that time, when he saw Lin Shuang again at the manor, she said that she must give birth to this child, and he agreed. But the condition must be...... Go back with him to raise the baby.
"Why?" Lin Shuang didn't understand, looking at him in a wheelchair, he was very suspicious of his motives.
Ji Luohan, who was in a wheelchair, faced her expressionlessly: "Your task has not been completed, but it still belongs to me." Since it is something that belongs to me, of course it must stay with me. ”
Ji Luohan...... Are you trying to torture me? ”
"Nope. I don't torture you. Ji Luohan's face didn't have any warmth at all, "The old witch wants a new heir, you can give birth to him." But the child has to be raised by myself. I don't want my children to be used by other people. ”
After hearing this, Lin Shuang was speechless.
"You know my temper! I am willing to let you give birth, and you can be born. I advise you to go with me while I have this merciful thought now. ”
"You're threatening me?" Lin Shuang frowned, and subconsciously reached out and stroked his lower abdomen, which had not yet appeared.
"Yes, threatened." Ji Luo said in a cold voice, and the corners of his mouth were crooked, "Which side you stand on, you choose." ”
Lin Shuang smiled self-deprecatingly: "If I can freely decide which side to take, how can I get to this point." ”
Ji Luohan smiled: "You choose first, I will naturally go and talk to the old witch." ”
"Okay, I agree."
......
On the same day, Lin Shuang returned to Ji's house.
She didn't know how Ji Luohan talked to the old lady, but in short, she was really allowed to leave the manor and go home with Ji Luohan.
For several days after she went back, Ji Luohan didn't say half a word to her. Even if they still slept in the same bed, they couldn't resist the increasingly dull atmosphere. Every day, Ji Luohan would go out and would not return until late at night.
Aunt Qing and Xiao Tao took care of her meticulously, and they were also comforting her, always saying that it would be fine in a while.
When staring out the window in a daze, Lin Shuang couldn't help but ask Aunt Qing, if she left after giving birth to the child, would Ji Luohan be good to the child?
Aunt Qing replied categorically, yes.
For some reason, Lin Shuang believed Aunt Qing's words very much, because she was the one who knew Ji Luohan best. And she must believe it, otherwise how can she persuade herself to leave ruthlessly.
It didn't take long for Wang Tingting to be led back by Ji Luohan. The two of them were like the original, drinking and enjoying themselves in the study day and night.
Sometimes late at night, Lin Shuang could hear the piercing laughter outside the study.
"It's okay." She didn't make noise, she didn't make trouble, and she told herself that there was nothing to be sad about, so she swallowed back her tears, and then went back to her room, sleeping and doing whatever she had to do.
......
It's just that she doesn't want to admit it, but the grief that has spread all over her body has made her let her guard down.
On this day, Ji Luohan was not at home.
When Lin Shuang was sitting in the corridor next to the garden reading parenting books, Wang Tingting appeared in front of her by surprise.
Lin Shuang didn't bother to pay attention to her, closed the book, and got up to leave.
"What? Just don't want to see me? Wang Tingting looked at her malicefully, "Or ...... Afraid of me? ”
Fear? Lin Shuang tugged at the corners of her mouth disdainfully, and sat back down: "The lesson I gave you last time wasn't enough?" ”
Wang Tingting's face sank for a few seconds, and then she sat down next to her with a smirk: "Actually, everyone is a woman, why are you fighting each other for those ruthless men?" ”
Although she didn't like the woman in front of her, Lin Shuang admitted that she was right.
"You destroyed me, and there will be others. I destroyed you, and there will be others. ”
Lin Shuang looked at her quietly, waiting to see what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.
"Look at you now, pregnant with a child...... It was just thrown aside. Is it worth it? ”
Lin Shuang tugged at the corners of her mouth: "You just want to carry the infamy of Xiao San, is it worth it?" ”
Wang Tingting shrugged indifferently: "Infamy is infamy, and there will be no loss of meat." Getting what you want is the most important thing, don't you say? ”
"If you think so, keep it up. I have no opinion. ”
"It's useless if you want to have an opinion." Wang Tingting suddenly smiled proudly, and then stared at her stomach, "As soon as you unload, you will leave." ”
"Who told you?" Lin Shuang was stunned.
"Who else? Of course, Luo Han told me personally. Wang Tingting's eyebrows fluttered and began to show off, "He said, this child will be gone after his life." He also asked me if I wanted to be the child's stepmother. ”
Before Wang Tingting's words were finished, Lin Shuang's shoulders trembled with anger. She bit her lips tightly, her eyes full of unyielding anger: "What do you want to do with Ji Luohan, it's none of my business." But...... If you want to be my child's stepmother, you don't have to think about it. ”
In the next second, Wang Tingting smiled harshly and proudly: "I said Mrs. Ji, you are about to leave, what kind of majesty are you doing." Don't worry, if I become a stepmother...... I promise to raise this child as my own. ”
"Wang Tingting!" Lin Shuang stood up angrily, and then felt a throbbing pain in his lower abdomen, and quickly reached out to cover his lower abdomen.
