Chapter 146: A Cruel Exchange

But before she was happy for a few seconds, Cheng Jiaqi's face began to be cloudy, and the momentary concern was replaced by frost, because she remembered that Nian'an was the illegitimate son of Ruikang and Mei Ruojun who had an affair behind her back, and the woman in front of her took away her husband and shamelessly had a child with her husband.

Her compassion for the woman and her children was swept away and replaced by resentment, jealousy, and even some schadenfreude.

Elegantly, slowly, and expressionlessly, he walked to the desk, looked at the sunset outside the window and said, "What's your child's last name?" ”

Ruojun was stunned for a moment, not knowing why she asked this, and said blankly: "The surname is Mei." ”

"As I remember, he used to have the surname Ding." Cheng Jiaqi said without ups and downs.

The flat tone pierced Ruojun's heart like a penetrating laser, Cheng Jiaqi was revealing her scars, Ruojun had to nod and said softly: "Yes." ”

"What about the child's father? I mean Ding Xiaohui. Cheng Jiaqi turned around, folded her hands in front of her chest, and looked at her coldly.

This sentence was even more powerful than slapping Mei Ruojun, and Ruojun couldn't raise his head when he hit him, "Jiaqi, I know you hate me, but now is not the time for you and me to fight, I beg you, I can kneel down for you, please lend me the money, as long as Nian An is safe, I can come to the door and let you scold me." Ruojun covered his face, cried and knelt down.

Jiaqi glanced at her with disdain, not moved at all, and said: "You don't have to kneel for me, you know that I am not a hard-hearted person, even if we don't know each other, when we encounter such a thing, if we can help, I will not stand idly by." Money, I can lend you, but there are a few conditions. ”

"On what terms?" Ruojun wiped the tears on her face with the back of her hand, her eyes flashed with hope, looking at her like a life-saving benefactor, don't say a few conditions at this time, even if it is dozens of conditions, hundreds of conditions, as long as she is willing to lend her money, she is willing to agree.

Cheng Jiaqi paced at the table, thought for a while and said, "First, I want you to write an IOU, two hundred taels of gold is not a small amount, you have to pay it back, because Nian'an is not a child of the Zhou family." If you don't finish it, your son will continue to pay it back, and if your son can't finish it, your grandson will continue to pay it back, and I won't take more from you, two cents per month. ”

Ruojun looked at her stunned, it was natural to borrow money to repay the money, but saying that Nian'an was not a child of the Zhou family hurt her very much, although she didn't want Nian'an to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, and she also knew that the Zhou family would not accept him. But when these words came out of other people's mouths, as a mother, it was still difficult for her to calm down, but is there any point in arguing about this now? Now I am begging for others, Nian'an's life is in danger, and saving lives is the most important thing.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll write." ”

"Second, you have to write a clarification book to clarify Nian'an's life experience." Jiaqi said.

"Clarification?"

"Yes, you have to clarify that Nian'an is not Ruikang's child, but the child born to you and Ding Xiaohui!" Jiaqi raised her chin slightly, although her tone was very gentle and calm, but the words she said made Ruojun speechless in shock.

"But that's not true. You know. Ruojun frowned in embarrassment.

Jia Qi shrugged her shoulders slightly and sneered: "Heh, how would I know? At that time, you and Ding Xiaohui were in the same room, and no one could prove who this child was. The Zhou family cannot have a child of unknown origin. ”

Ruojun's head was buzzing with shock, a child of unknown origin? A child of unknown origin? Ruojun has not recovered from the shock, Jiaqi has already continued:

"Third, you need to make a note that you will never see Ruikang again in this life." Jiaqi still said calmly: "This is a contract between you and me, don't say that it is impossible for me to agree to Concubine Ruikangna, even if I agree, it will never be your turn." ”

Ruojun's whole body was cold, her hands and feet were cold, her heart was sore and numb, and she sat on the ground, although she knew that there was little hope of seeing Ruikang again in this life, but even if it was a slim hope, it was also the pillar of her life. She couldn't speak, just hung her head and continued to listen to Cheng Jiaqi's conditions.

"Fourth, when Nian'an is saved, I want your mother and son to leave Beiping immediately, I can give you a sum of money, wherever you go, you are not allowed to come back in the future, and you will be cut off from the Zhou family from now on."

Ruojun raised her head, tears rippled in her eyes, she looked at Cheng Jiaqi in disbelief, shook her head with a wry smile, Jiaqi seemed to have become the second Mrs. Zhou, no, more harsh and stern than Mrs. Zhou, vicious and ruthless.

Jiaqi understood her eyes, lowered her eyelids and said coldly: "You don't have to be surprised, my ruthlessness today is also thanks to you, when you were affectionate with my husband on Jinyun Mountain, did you think about our friendship, did you think about that innocent and enthusiastic Cheng Jiaqi who regards you as a good friend?" ”

Ruojun was speechless, lowered her head, she did owe Jiaqi, she did an unforgivable mistake, she deserved to be treated like this, she agreed, she promised all Jiaqi's conditions, she didn't have the energy to think about anything else at this moment, she just wanted to save Nian'an, she wanted Nian'an to be safe and sound, everything else was no longer important.

Jiaqi sighed, suddenly stepped forward slowly, helped Ruojun up, and said: "Alas, I am also a mother, I understand your feelings, as long as you agree to these conditions, I will let someone send you money tomorrow." Suddenly, he looked like a savior again.

Under Jiaqi's instructions, Ruojun Muran wrote an IOU, read an explanation of his life experience, and a letter of commitment that he would not see Ruikang in this life, signed it, pressed his handprint, Jiaqi accepted them one by one, and said: "Don't worry, I, Cheng Jiaqi, will do what I say, and tomorrow I will send someone to send two hundred taels of gold to Mei's house." ”

Ruojun nodded, reluctantly glanced at the house where Ruikang once lived, sighed, and said goodbye to Jiaqi sadly.

"Wait a minute, there's something I think I should tell you." Jiaqi said leisurely.

Ruojun turned around and looked at her, wondering what else she could say?

"Ruojun, you and I are poor women, we are in love with the same man, and this man is so lucky, you don't have to feel sorry for him, do you think, for so many years, has he ever written to you? Even if you're not in Beiping, he can send a letter to Mei's house, right? But if you look at it for so many years, does he have it? Cheng Jiaqi continued to rub salt on Ruojun's wounds.

Yes, he didn't, and this has always been something she can't understand, Ruojun bowed his head and said nothing.

Jiaqi walked to the desk, picked up a letter from England, handed it to Ruojun and said, "Look, this is the letter he sent to his father yesterday, take a look." ”

Ruojun looked at the aviation envelope in Jiaqi's hand, the handwriting on it, she recognized it as Ruikang's, ah, his letter, he really sent a letter back, she took the letter tremblingly, the blood in her whole body was rushing, as if this was a letter written to her by Ruikang, opened the letter paper, the flowing handwriting in it teased her heartbeat, the letter was very short, only a dozen lines, said some of his recent situation in the UK, seemed to be very busy, and a little homesick, that's it, and greeted Jiaqi and Dingbang.

She really wanted Jiaqi to give the letter to herself and keep it for herself, she hadn't read enough, but Jiaqi had already taken the letter back from her hand.

Cheng Jiaqi stuffed the letter back into the envelope, and said with some pain on her face: "Ruojun, you and I are no longer seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls, you should know that men are fickle, easy to be tempted, like the new and hate the old, I used to envy you very much, and I was very jealous of you, thinking that you were Ruikang's only lover, and I also admired the unswerving love between you and the two of you, but, Ruojun, I think Ruikang can't escape the lust of ordinary people after all." ”

Ruojun looked at her suspiciously, just after signing the three inexplicable, harsh and distorted guarantees, she was very upset, she couldn't understand what she was talking about, frowned lightly and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

Cheng Jiaqi shook his head and said: "I married the wrong person, you love the wrong person, you and I are infatuated with him and look forward to him, but he has a woman outside." ”

"What?"

There are women again! Ruojun was stunned for a moment, opened her eyes, stared at Cheng Jiaqi, she didn't believe it, her and Ruikang's love was despised and trampled on by everyone, but they knew each other that they loved each other, she could betray Ding Xiaohui, he could give up Cheng Jiaqi, although the world did not tolerate it, and it was not worth praise, but their love was always the same, he loved her deeply, just as he loved him deeply. How can there be a woman again?

"No, it won't." She shook her head, her lips trembling slightly.

Cheng Jiaqi glanced at her with pity, took out a letter from the drawer, raised it in his hand, and sighed: "I really don't know who is more pitiful than you and me." ”

Ruojun still looked at her suspiciously, and Jiaqi said: "This letter was sent to me from the United States by a woman named Hu Xiaofen, hehe, this woman is here to persuade me to divorce Ruikang." Read the contents of the letter for yourself. ”

If you don't know why your heart is shocked and afraid, how can a woman write a letter to persuade Jiaqi and Ruikang to divorce? Her heart rose to her throat. I took the letter and opened it, but it was not very long, only one page.

But just this one page is enough to shatter Ruojun's world, and it can no longer be rebuilt.

The letter fell from her hand, and the whole house began to spin like a marquee, and she held on to the table, and clung to the tablecloth, her heart like a tablecloth, crumpled and crumpled together.

Cheng Jiaqi looked at her pale face and painful expression, and suddenly felt a sense of revenge, and sneered: "Didn't expect it?" I didn't expect that Ruikang would be a father again......"

Ruojun didn't look at Jiaqi anymore, she didn't speak anymore, she couldn't speak anymore, she just wanted to leave the Zhou family compound quickly, this hellish place, she felt like she was going to break into thousands of pieces for a second longer, embarrassed, dragging her staggering steps, Mei Ruojun walked out of the house crookedly.

No matter how Cuiliu shouted behind her, she ran out of the Zhou family's compound in one go, ran wildly on the street, and disappeared into the vast wilderness in a short time.

After Mei Ruojun left, Cheng Jiaqi bent down to pick up the letter paper on the ground, and the pleasure that came from seeing Mei Ruojun's pain and despair just now disappeared in an instant, because Hu Xiaofen's letter hit her equally hugely, hehe, Hu Xiaofen was pregnant, and she wrote a letter to persuade herself to end this loveless marriage, haha, it's really ridiculous.

Jiaqi looked at the three guarantees left by Ruojun on the table and Hu Xiaofen's letter, and while she was bullying Mei Ruojun, she was actually forced to divorce by Hu Xiaofen...... Mei Ruojun has Ruikang's love, Hu Xiaofen has Ruikang's body, and what does he have? Just an empty Mrs. Zhou Ruikang's name? Which of the three of them is worse than whom?

She threw the letter of guarantee and Hu Xiaofen's letter into the drawer, and continued to reply to Ruikang as if nothing happened.

Whether it is Mei Ruojun or Hu Xiaofen, they will become Zhou Ruikang's passing eyes, and she has always been the rightful Mrs. Zhou Ruikang, reputation is very important for a woman, even if she and Ruikang are far away and haven't seen each other for many years, she and him are still husband and wife, and soon, she will be able to reunite with Ruikang, yes, soon......

//

Meng Shuzhi came back very late that night, and as soon as he came back, he smelled a smell of burning things, and when he saw a light in Ruojun's house, he hurriedly stepped forward and patted the door.

"Sister, are you in there?"

There was no response in the house, Shu Zhi pushed the door in, a thick smoke came to his nose, he had to retreat again, covered his mouth and nose with his hand, pushed the door open vigorously with one hand, and rushed in again, in the smoke, he saw Mei Ruojun hanging his head and falling in the chair, in front of him was a raging brazier, there seemed to be a lot of paper burning in the brazier, and half of the diary continued to burn, Shu Zhi stepped forward quickly, opened the window, picked up a glass of water on the table, and extinguished the flame in the brazier.

Smoke billowed in the house, but fortunately, the cold wind quickly blew away the smoke, but it was very choking, Shu Zhi picked up Ruojun from the chair, carried her to his cabin, and laid her flat on the bed, her hair was scattered, her face was pale, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes, and she was unconscious.

This frightened Shu Zhi's soul scattered, and he hurriedly pinched her and called her loudly:

"Sister, sister! Wake up, don't scare me! His voice trembled.

He broke her teeth and did artificial respiration for her, the tip of her nose was sour, she was his last relative in this world, and her lover, he couldn't lose her, he tried hard to do artificial respiration for her.

Two hot tears rolled out of her eyes and dripped onto her face, in her mouth.

"Ruojun, wake up, I have a way to save Nian'an, wake up quickly." He continued to blow into her mouth, pressing against her chest.

She was groggy, as if she heard Ruikang calling herself, was that him? Is that him? Ruikang ...... No, it's not him, the sentence on Hu Xiaofen's letter suddenly came to mind: "...... I'm four months pregnant, Ruikang is looking forward to marrying me, in order to give the child a name, I hope you can fulfill your ...... sister"

Suddenly, her heart hurt and she opened her mouth wide, screamed, and opened her eyes that were covered in tears.

Shu Zhi was startled, but when he saw that she woke up, he felt a little relieved.

"Why commit suicide? You die, what should Nian An do? What should I do? He asked nervously, grabbing her arm.

Ruojun shook his head sadly, looked at him and choked up and said, "I didn't commit suicide, I just wanted to burn the past." ”

"Why? You've always liked to be nostalgic for the past. ”

"Really?" She looked at him and smiled bitterly: "Not in the future." ”

"I don't understand, what happened to make you so desperate?" He stared at her.

She said softly, "I went to Zhou's house." They promised to lend us two hundred taels of gold, and they would send it to-morrow. ”

"What? You went to Zhou's house? Shu Zhi frowned, raised his fist and slapped his thigh, and sighed hurriedly: "Why don't you wait for me to come back?" What did they say? Isn't it hard for you? What did they say that made you so sad? ”

Ruojun shook his head, bit his lower lip and said, "No, it's nothing." ”

"Hmph, I don't believe it! When you just came back the year before last, Cheng Jiaqi made things difficult for you in every way, and wanted me to go back to Zhou's house, so I didn't want to go back. ”

"Nope! No! No! Ruojun was very upset and didn't want to reveal the scars.

Shu Zhi couldn't do it, frowned and said, "Okay, okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it, but I want to tell you that I have a way to save Nian'an, and I don't have to give him the money." ”

As he spoke, he took out a golden gold bar from his trouser pocket, Ruojun's eyes lit up, and he looked at him suspiciously: "Where did it come from?" Did that female classmate of yours give it to you? Did you really sell yourself? ”

Shu Zhi sneered, the corners of his mouth hooked into a smile, and shook his head: "I want to sell myself, but unfortunately people think I'm too expensive." ”

"I'm still in the mood to laugh, let's talk about what's going on."

Shu Zhi whispered mysteriously: "This is fake, after that female classmate found out about Nian'an, she said that she had this kind of gold-plated iron at home, and her father did it to bluff people in the business field." She gave me twenty sticks, you see, it's the same as the real thing, as long as you don't look closely, you can't tell it's fake at all. Besides, at night, the lights are dark, and they can't see clearly, and when the time comes, we'll ...... like that."

Ruojun listened to his plan, and his heart went up and down, frowning and asking, "Is this okay?" Nian Anke is in their hands, will there be no danger? ”

"Don't worry, I'll dress up early tomorrow morning, go there and take a look at the environment first, and then you just need to stand there and catch Nian'an. I'll take care of the rest. ”

Ruojun looked up at him deeply, and said worriedly: "I'm still afraid, it's better to wait for the Zhou family's money to come tomorrow, and let's exchange it with real gold bars." ”

"You are stupid, the Zhou family's money was borrowed from you, how will you pay it back in the future? Also, those kidnappers will have the money to see how easy it is to kidnap your son, maybe there will be another time. So this time we must make them suffer something. ”
