Chapter 175: A Bystander's Perspective
Once, it took him quite a long time to convince himself to accept Su Ru's death.
This is also a sublimation of his uneventful, incomparably smooth life, he originally thought that there was no money and means in this world that could not be solved, but he was wrong, death is a force that no one can compete with.
Therefore, he desperately wanted to find an outlet to coerce himself to forget this feeling of powerlessness, and this object was Su Jiarui.
But now, when Su Ru appeared in front of him intact again, his heart was shaken like never before.
Because even if he stayed by Su Ru's side, what came to his mind was another person.
He couldn't explain the reason for this change in words, but Su Ru had always been delicate, and she must have seen the clue a long time ago.
"No, I just took care of some official business, is there anything wrong?"
The tone of his mouth is still steady, after so many years in Vanity Fair, he has long been able to tell lies that he doesn't even believe in himself.
But his identity is there, even if others know that he is just perfunctory, no one dares to debunk it.
In his impression, the only person who dared to expose his lies in front of him was Su Jiarui.
Thinking of this, Chen Cheng sighed quietly.
But after a while, why did he think of this person again?
"Nope. It's just that I'm going to shoot in Sanliwan next week, and I don't know how long it will take, so I ...... I just want to see you a few more times before I leave. ”
Su Ru's tone was still so soft, like a feather that fell on the tip of people's hearts, making people can't bear to say anything decisive.
"I have arranged everything in Sanliwan, you don't have to worry, if you are tired during the filming, it is okay to stop shooting, you have just had surgery, rest is the most important thing."
"I, I'm fine, it's been a long time since I had surgery, Chen Cheng, are you done? When you're done, can you make time to meet me? ”
On the other end of the phone, Su Ru's attitude could be regarded as earnest, as if she was begging Chen Cheng to agree.
"Su Ru, it's getting late now, what's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?"
He has just experienced such a toss, and in the end, he is also lacking in skills.
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, and although neither of them said anything, it was clear that the estrangement had arisen.
It's just that Su Ru didn't speak, and Chen Cheng has always maintained a phone call, and he always habitually maintains the same gentleness as ever to her.
It seemed like a century had passed, and finally there was a voice on the other end.
"Well, then I won't bother you, go to bed early, good night."
"Well, good night."
In the end, Su Ru still didn't express her suspicions, and sometimes, once the bloody truth was punctured, it was difficult to reunite the broken mirror.
She naturally knows this truth.
Stopping at the point and knowing how to make trade-offs, this is the advantage of Su Ru that distinguishes her from others, and this is also where Chen Cheng looks at her differently.
Hanging up the phone, Chen Cheng had a cold face and threw the phone aside.
I don't know why, what came to his mind was what he had just seen, and Su Jiarui was humiliated in the photo.
Such helplessness, such despair, like a puppet with a broken string, without a soul, at a loss in the face of the arbitrary mercy of others.
He used to be very familiar with this look, and often he was the one who took the initiative to torture her.
And now, jumping out of that relationship and standing in the third perspective of a bystander, he realized that at that time, Su Jiarui's expression would be so desperate.
What was she thinking while he tortured her?
I'm afraid I'm praying that I can get out of my control sooner.
Feeling distraught, he raised his hand to cover his eyes and slowly pressed his body into the comfortable seat.
Now, even he didn't want to go back to that deserted villa.
He was afraid that as soon as he arrived at the door of the villa, he would habitually look at the open window.
And he knew that there was no one in that room that he had in mind.
As if he suddenly remembered something, he slowly said with this tired attitude: "Don't go back first, drive to the Mong Kok Lighthouse." ”
Mong Kok Lighthouse?
I heard that if you stand at the highest point, you can see the prosperous and beautiful night view of Cloud City.
He also wanted to know what it would be like for her to stand on the top of the Mong Kok Lighthouse overlooking the entire Cloud City.
……
Su Jiarui felt that his eyelids were a little hot, his body was sunk into a softness, and the temperature on his body seemed to have dropped a little.
Faintly, she could hear a few birdsong chirping outside the window, and in this environment, she slowly opened her eyes.
The environment in front of you is not familiar, but it is indeed not unfamiliar.
Looking out the window from this direction, she could see the familiar garden and the pure white swing, and it was obvious that Wu Ming had brought her back to the Wu house.
Thinking of this, Su Jiarui was almost instinctively a little frightened.
She was not taken back to the villa by Chen Cheng, but came to Wu Ming's house?!
How is this possible!
No one knows Chen Cheng's temperament better than her, and Chen Cheng can be said to not care about her, but it does not mean that he allows his authority to be easily provoked by others.
Chen Cheng has always been a person who must be investigated, and Wu Ming's confrontation with him has obviously made him a little uncomfortable, so how could he let Wu Ming take her away safe and sound?
Thinking of this, she instinctively wanted to do it, but she felt like she had fallen a thousand pounds, and just a little movement made her body sore.
She raised her hand and rubbed her temples slightly, only to find that the tattered clothes she was wearing had been changed, and she was wearing a new set of pajamas at this time, with a soft cotton texture, which made people feel quite comfortable.
Su Jiarui struggled to stand up and sat on the head of the bed, trying to digest the information at hand.
She escaped from the villa before, but was drugged by the driver, and after she passed out, she was taken to the suburbs by the other party, who was obviously entrusted by someone to want her life, and then ......
The last thing she remembered was the scene of Chen Cheng and Wu Ming confronting her, but she couldn't remember what Wu Ming said to Chen Cheng to be able to take her away from Chen Cheng.
Su Jiarui frowned, she didn't expect that she would owe Wu Ming a favor again.
"Are you awake?"
A familiar voice came from the door, and Su Jiarui looked at it, only to find that Wu Ming was leaning against the door, looking at her, smiling extremely gently.
"Well, I'm ...... now"
Before Su Jiarui could open his mouth to ask something, Wu Ming had already sat in front of her with a bowl of fine white porridge, scooped up a spoonful and stretched it out to her.
"Jiarui, you haven't eaten since last night, let go of other things first, and drink the porridge, okay? Otherwise, your stomach will be upset. ”
Wu Ming's words always carry a sense of unbearable refusal, he is too gentle.
Su Jiarui took a sip and found that the entrance was at just the right temperature, which was not hot and could warm the stomach.
When it came to the stomach, Su Jiarui was a little helpless.
Her own terminal illness, no one else knows about it except Chen Cheng, but the only person who will take into account her stomach upset is Wu Ming, who has no idea about her condition.
It's just that she is a person with sound limbs in the end, and it is really a little embarrassing to let the other party feed her like this.
"I'll do it anyway."
As soon as he raised his hand, he exhaled in pain, which was really a little embarrassed.
After all, she is a person who lacks exercise every day, and it seems that after several tosses last night, the physical sequelae are still quite obvious.
"Jia Rui, in front of me, don't be reckless, okay? When you finish eating the porridge obediently, I'll tell you whatever you want to ask, okay? ”
Now Wu Ming's tone of voice to her is really like coaxing a naughty child.
Su Jiarui knew that it would be nothing more than a waste of each other's time to continue to be reckless, so he didn't make any more excuses, and obediently opened his mouth to drink porridge, hoping that such an embarrassing scene could end as soon as possible.
"Okay, I can't drink anymore."
Wu Ming looked at the remaining half bowl of porridge at the bottom of the bowl, sighed, knowing that Su Jiarui was being reckless, but he didn't break it.
"Don't worry, when I brought you back yesterday, I had already arranged for a private doctor to check your injuries, except for the ankle sprain, the others were skin injuries."
"In addition, your clothes really can't be worn anymore, so I took it upon myself to arrange for someone to help you do some simple cleaning and change your clothes, Guoguo has been traveling with the old man these days, and he doesn't know about it."
Wu Ming explained many things to her clearly in one breath, which made Su Jiarui a little dumbfounded.
In this way, it seems that she is a little suspicious and overly ill.
Although she was also curious about these questions, Wu Ming didn't tell her the answers she wanted to know the most.
"Wu Ming, thank you."
Su Jiarui lowered his head a little embarrassed and said, "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd have already encountered an accident." But ......"
She raised her head again and looked at Wu Ming with some hesitation in her eyes.
"Last night, that, how did you take me away?"
Although she didn't mention Chen Cheng's name, Wu Ming naturally knew what she meant.
Last night, he made a deal with Chen Cheng to bring him back safe and sound.
This is the question that Su Jiarui wants to know, so is she worried about herself?
Thinking of this, Chen Chengfu remembered Chen Cheng's words and deeds last night.
Even now, he was suspicious of Chen Cheng's simple concessions, not to mention Su Jiarui.
I'm afraid that even if he tells the truth and the truth, Su Jiarui will think that he is lying to her.
"Me? Of course I left with you in my arms, but Jiarui, you should indeed eat more, you are such a big person, but you are light when you hold it, and you can't finish a bowl of porridge. ”
