Chapter 141: The English Rose Dripping Blood (1)
"I want it! I want it! Nian An...... Nian An...... Daddy wants you, wants your ...... If you don't leave me, don't ...... Yes! ~~”
Zhou Ruikang shouted, sat in the dark with cold sweat, breathed rapidly, stretched out his hand and turned on the colored glass lamp at the head of the bed, the soft light finally made him relax a little, he sat on the soft and comfortable Simmons bed for five minutes before he was withdrawn from the dream just now, but his chest was still uncomfortable.
His head began to hurt again, and he took the painkiller from the drawer, swallowed it with a glass of water on the bedside table. Headaches, heartaches, heartaches, headaches, endlessly tormented his body and spirit.
lifted the quilt, walked out of the bedroom, picked up the phone in the living room and dialed Song Yuanyang, Song Yuanyang on the other end of the phone had a hoarse voice, and said a vague "Hey" in his mouth, obviously dragged out of his sleep by the phone ringtone.
"Yuanyang, I'm sorry, I can't stand it anymore, I want to go back, I want to go back as soon as possible." He clenched his fists, knocked twice on the armrest of the sofa, and held his forehead: "I dream of their mother and son every night, going to the sea, help me book a ferry ticket, the sooner the better." ”
"Ruikang, but the legal process has just started, and there are many things that you need to take over, didn't you say that you want to set up a charitable foundation? We've just started to prepare, we've just handed in the paperwork, and you're going to France and Switzerland next week...... How can you walk now? ”
"I don't care, I can give you carte blanche. I have to go back to China to find their mother and son, and I have to go back to Beiping. ”
"Ruikang, haven't you already sent a letter to Mei's house? Didn't we send someone back last month? I think there will be news in a while, so don't be impatient. Besides, even if you want to entrust me with carte blanche, then you have to do the entrustment procedures. ”
"How long does it take?"
"This ...... Ruikang, you're really going to kill me. Things have just unfolded here, and you're going back? Xu Enhai's lawyer will be here next week, and he is about to fight a tough battle, but you are leaving? If you leave now, we will be doomed to lose everything, and all our efforts will be in vain. You can not care, but my company will go out of business, and I, my partner, my friends, will all be implicated, have you ever thought about it? Song Yuanyang was already sleepy, and he also sat up, a little angry.
Zhou Ruikang sighed, collapsed on the sofa, pinched the corners of his eyes, and sighed helplessly: "I'm sorry, Yuanyang, I didn't expect to affect you and your friends, okay, you should do it as soon as possible." ”
Song Yuanyang also sighed and comforted: "Don't worry, Ruikang, your letter has also been sent, and I have sent it, as long as their mother and son are still in China and alive, they will definitely be able to find it." ”
"Hmm...... Well, I'm sorry, I'm really ......"
"I understand, rest early, I'll go see you tomorrow, and we'll talk in detail."
After hanging up the phone, Ruikang did not feel sleepy, looked at the exquisite old grandfather pendulum clock in the room, at four o'clock in the morning, lit the pipe of the heather, walked to the floor bed, opened the golden jacquard curtains, it was dark outside, a thin layer of frost condensed on the window, through a little light in the house, I saw that in the dark night, the branches trembled slightly in front of the window, and the suburbs of England were always shrouded in a fog before the sun rose.
Originally wanting to see the scenery and release his depression, he reluctantly spit out a puff of cigarette, lowered the curtains, walked to the wide desk, and picked up yesterday's newspaper, the report of the Chinese Civil War, which made him even more depressed.
After he arrived in the UK, he was entangled in a bunch of trivial matters, reading documents, signing documents, taking over various assets, and negotiating with people, he did not write to Ruojun, as early as when he first arrived in the UK, he wrote, at that time he was not familiar with the place, handed over the letter to Song Yuanyang, and then he sank into the sea, no news, he thought at first that it was because of the war, the mail route was not smooth, and it may have been lost, but he sent it to the Zhou family compound at the same time, and the letter to Master Zhou arrived, and he received a reply from his father three months later.
But the letter sent to Mei's family never responded, and he could only assume that Ruojun's mother and son were still wandering outside and did not return to Beiping.
In the past two years, he sent five or six letters to Ruojun, but there was always a mud cow into the sea, and there was no response, he became more and more depressed, and even wondered if Ruojun's mother and son had died in the war.
As time passed, he missed Ruojun's mother and son more and more, and he needed to anesthetize himself with alcohol to relieve the pain in his heart.
Alcohol, yes, alcohol is something that can make people forget their troubles for a while. Throwing away the newspaper, he walked to the bar, poured himself a glass of brandy, and drank it all, he no longer dared to be interested in these messy current events, fight, fight, fight.
Now he just wants to return to China as soon as possible and find Ruojun's mother and son to take them out of the sea of suffering.
……
Early the next morning, Song Yuanyang rushed to Ruikang's villa, took off his hat and handed it to the maid as soon as he entered the door, and shouted: "Zhou Ruikang, you guy, come out for me." ”
Ruikang came out of the bedroom on the second floor in his satin pajamas, ran down the magnificent solid wood spiral staircase, his eyes shining with hope, and pulled him and asked, "Are you here?" ”
Song Yuanyang shook his head and said, "I'm not coming, I don't think I need to expect a good night's sleep tonight." ”
Ruikang smiled apologetically and pulled him to sit down on the leather sofa.
Song Yuanyang approached him, sniffed it and said, "Hey, you drink brandy early in the morning?" ”
Ruikang was just about to speak, and a beautiful woman walked out from the side, wearing a powder blue dress, lining her fair skin, like a blue sky and white clouds.
Both of their eyes lit up, and Song Yuanyang shook his head and praised: "Xiaofen, you are really getting more and more beautiful." If it weren't for the fact that I was already engaged, I would have reconsidered and chased you. Haha"
Hu Xiaofen walked up with a sweet smile with a beautiful tray and tea, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to accept your pursuit, Helen is so beautiful, I am ashamed." ”
Helen is a British girl Song Yuanyang met half a year ago, blonde and blue-eyed, gentle and polite, from a famous family, the two were engaged last month, and the wedding is scheduled to be held in October.
"Hehe, even if I pursue you, you won't agree, I have self-knowledge." As he spoke, he glanced at Ruikang with his eyes and smiled meaningfully.
Hu Xiaofen's face turned red, glanced at Ruikang shyly, poured them tea, smiled and said anxiously: "You guys talk slowly, I went to school." ”
Saying that, he put on a small satchel on his back, took a few books, and walked out, a beautiful car stopped in front of the door, Hu Xiaofen got into the car, and left with the whistling sound of the car.
Song Yuanyang looked back at Zhou Ruikang, looked serious, and said, "Ruikang, life has to go on, people have to look forward." ”
Zhou Ruikang lay on the sofa, looked at him with a smile, and shook his head: "Me and her?" Impossible. ”
"Why? Your marriage with Jiaqi is in vain, and the whereabouts of Mei Ruojun's mother and son are unknown, do you plan to be alone for the rest of your life? ”
"You don't understand my feelings for Ruojun."
"Why don't I understand? I have seen with my own eyes that you love to die or live, but you must know that China has been in war all year round, and when she left Jinyun Mountain, it was the most intense time to fight with the Japanese, even if it was true...... It is not surprising that something really mishaps. ”
Song Yuanyang took a sip of tea, and then said: "I was also dead set on Man Lin back then, and it took many years to recover, but now that I have Helen, I can love and get married." I now understand that love is something that can be regenerated, so why bother with yourself? You and Ruojun have done their best for this relationship. ”
"No, Yuanyang, I have to go back to them, I didn't have the heart in the past, and I still don't have the heart to entangle with other women, I only have her in my heart from beginning to end, whether you call me stubborn or pedantic, I must go back. If their mother and son die, I would rather be alone for the rest of my life. ”
Song Yuanyang sighed and shook his head: "What if, she changes her mind and remarries?" ”
"Hehe, she won't, she can even give up Ding Xiaohui, what other man can get into her eyes?"
Song Yuanyang grinned and said, "Okay, Great Love Saint." I mean not you. ”
"Yuanyang, make a power of attorney as soon as possible, you have full authority to act here, you can ask for as much money as you want, I have to go back to them as soon as possible, I really can't stand the nightmare every night." He said urgently.
"Well, let's settle the matter that you have to do here, and make a power of attorney at the same time. However, the current situation in the country is chaotic, prices are soaring, and the shipping schedule is also unstable, don't be too anxious, you believe me, the people I sent back are very reliable, and they will definitely notify me as soon as they have news of Mei Ruojun. ”
Ruikang's heart was still up and down, but there was no way, he stood up and paced back and forth, and finally could only sigh and nod in agreement.
"Hey, by the way, the London Olympics are about to start, and China has also sent representatives this time, I heard that the delegation is not funded enough, how about we donate some money to support it?"
When Ruikang heard this, he immediately supported: "Donate, of course you have to donate, do you have a way, let's go watch the game together." ”
"It's a trivial matter, leave this matter to me, let's go cheer for the motherland!"
Ruikang finally put aside his children's relationship for the time being and focused on the Olympics and legal affairs.
……
After Hu Xiaofen arrived in the UK, she went to medical school with the funding of Ruikang. Ruikang's intention of sending her to school is not purely so that she can succeed in her studies, but more in the hope that she can have her own things to do, make more friends, and to put it bluntly, make a boyfriend, instead of following herself back and forth at home all day long.
He had already known her thoughts, so he tried to avoid her as much as possible, and even wanted Song Yuanyang to take Hu Xiaofen away from his house, but he wanted to open his mouth several times, but he felt too unkind, after all, Hu Xiaofen has taken care of himself in recent years and tried his best, so he didn't open his mouth in the end.
At the dinner table, Ruikang deliberately asked the maid to put Hu Xiaofen's cutlery opposite him, the farthest distance.
The servant served the barbecue, and Ruikang took two pieces from it and put them on his plate, lowered his head, and ate in a muffled voice, without saying a word.
Hu Xiaofen looked up at him, she liked to look at him very much, although there was a faint scar on his cheek, it not only did not damage his handsome appearance, but also added more heroism to him.
Even standing among those high-nosed and blue-eyed foreigners, his tall figure is not inferior, fluent English, resolute eyes, elegant temperament, sexy physique, traditional manners, in her eyes, he is elegant and rough, sexy and restrained, both cold and passionate, and many contradictory traits are mixed into a mysterious charm in him.
For so many years, she has been figuring out what he likes, she knows that he has a wife, Cheng Jiaqi who is far away in the courtyard of the deep house in Beiping, but she doesn't care, she has long noticed that he doesn't love his wife, so she has a chance, she thinks, she and he live under the same roof in the distant United Kingdom, she has the opportunity to get close to him, get close to him, and get him.
She could also see his loneliness and sadness, her heart was heavy, she thought that he was miserable and sad because of that hopeless marriage, she didn't know the real scars in his heart, but no matter what, she was young and beautiful, she was in the same room with him, she would have a chance sooner or later.
Yes, opportunities are always reserved for those who have a heart......
Autumn in England was enchanting, and that year, Song Yuanyang and his blonde bride had a grand wedding in the Stohai Garden in Wirtshire, and almost all the rich and powerful Chinese and foreigners related to the four major families were invited to this picturesque little county.
Zhou Ruikang has to admit that everything here is as beautiful as a fairyland, the stream is as clear as a mirror, a mottled, full of history stone bridge quietly erected on the water surface, reflected in the stream, the stream is lined with colorful vegetation, red, yellow, green, green alone is divided into more than a dozen, golden or red fallen leaves covered in the green lawn, floating down into the clear stream, a few mallard ducks quacked happily in the stream, as if talking about this beautiful wedding. The ducks swam leisurely past, and there were bursts of water on the water.
Beauty, fairyland-like beauty, fairytale-like beauty, Ruikang leaned on the trunk of a big tree with his arms around his arms, admiring the beautiful scenery in front of him, at this moment, he wanted Ruojun and Nian'an to be by his side, enjoying all this with them.
The general trend in the country is a foregone conclusion, and he can't go back at all, because his identity has become very sensitive. He took out a box of cigars from the inside of his suit, took one, lit it, and exhaled the smoke in pain and depression.
"Ruikang." Hu Xiaofen was wearing a beige narrow skirt and holding a small white openwork parasol in his hand, swaying towards him, and he couldn't help frowning.
"Why are you here alone? The prom is almost here. She tilted her head and smiled at him.
"I've never been a fan of dancing." He continued to spit out his smoke rings.
"I know, you like to be in a daze, smoke, and drink." She sighed, put away her parasol, and leaned against the trunk of a tree beside her.
"Yes, I'm a very boring person. You should go and dance with those young lads. He said it very directly and clearly.
"I want to be in a daze with you." She said it very clearly and directly.
His brow furrowed even tighter: "I want to walk alone." He ignored her and walked out into the woods by himself.
She followed him, and the uneven footsteps of the two stepped on the thick fallen leaves, which made him very upset, and after walking for a while, he thought that he should still make things clear to her.
So he stopped and turned around, she kept looking at the muddy and slippery road under her feet, but she didn't expect him to stop suddenly, couldn't stop, and crashed directly into his arms.
