02 Warnings and Surprises
The tense nerves could no longer be strained, and big tears rolled out. Ling Yuxi buried her face in her hands, unable to suppress the tremor on her shoulders.
Is this life? The life and death of my lover is uncertain, and if I lose my job again, my brother's illness is ......
Zhao Yanling frowned slightly, and cried so well, she was really a nervous woman.
But when this woman cried, there was a different kind of beauty.
"I didn't let you pay it back now, take your time."
The corners of the man's mouth curled up viciously, and he handed a random tissue.
Ling Yuxi didn't take it, she took a step back and bowed: "I'm sorry, but this money ...... I'll give it back to you! ”
Zhao Yanling's eyebrows drooped slightly, and he nodded lightly: "Okay!" ”
Seeing off this big Buddha, Ling Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't say anything to the director.
I don't know whether it was intentional or not, as if the Heavenly Lord also knew Ling Yuxi's sadness, and it was pouring rain in the sky.
Ling Yuxi ran home in the rain, thinking of Fu Chen's affairs, tears mixed with the rain. Along the way, he was like a walking corpse, his eyes were empty and confused.
After returning home, Ling Yuxi just wanted to go back to the bedroom to rest.
At this time, her mother, who had rarely spoken to her, actually stopped her and was full of flattery.
Ling Yuxi was startled, and uneasiness gradually swelled in her heart. If her mother saw her down-and-out appearance, she would definitely be beaten again.
But to Ling Yuxi's surprise, her mother didn't seem to see anything, and she still had a rare smile on her face.
"Yu Xi, why did you come back so late?"
Ling Yuxi moved her lips, but she didn't say anything. Such as a fish in the throat.
Lingmu didn't mind, and continued to smile: "Yuxi, Mom has something to trouble you. It has not been easy for your mother to treat you in the past few years, and I hope you can satisfy your mother. ”
The uneasiness in my heart gradually magnified, and my heartbeat stopped when the spirit mother's words fell.
Really.
"Yuxi, you also know that Jiaojiao is going to get married, but ...... Her body ......"
Speaking of this, the spirit mother actually had some circles under her eyes that were slightly red. Ling Yuxi watched coldly, and her mother's eyes were red, naturally it would not be because of herself.
Isn't her baby sister Ling Jiaojiao already married to a wealthy family? What does this matter have to do with her?
"Yu Xi, my mother took you and your younger brother to remarry to the Ling family, the Ling family raised you so big, and they treat you as their own, and count you as the daughter of the Ling family." She paused: "I have discussed with your father, you will marry Jiaojiao instead!" ”
Ling Yuxi's heart was cold, the accident was so big, her mother naturally knew about Fu Chen, but she said such things at this time!
She spoke coldly, with a hint of choking in her tone: "Fu Chen is dead." ”
The Spirit Mother didn't react, but her tone became mean.
"Yu Xi, it's just right that Fu Chen is dead, anyway, you have to marry now, so break off with him as soon as possible. You are the daughter of the Ling family, and now the Ling family is at a critical juncture, if you don't marry, I'm afraid ......"
She doesn't care about the Ling family, and she naturally doesn't know who Ling Jiaojiao wants to marry. Her only wish now is to be able to take her younger brother and live well!
Ling Yuxi looked at this woman who was still beautiful in her forties, is it true that people can only be ruthless in order to have an eternal appearance?
"Mom, in our hardest years, the Fu family took care of us! And I want to marry, I can only marry Fu Chen! ”
She was resolute, but she seemed to be prepared.
"Yu Xi, don't forget, you also have a biological brother."
Soaking wet, she didn't feel cold. But at this moment, she felt so cold.
Yes, she also has a younger brother. But now, their biological mother is actually threatening herself with her younger brother!
"You remember, I'm not for the Ling family, it's for my younger brother."
Anyway, Fu Chen is dead, what else does she have to rely on?
Coldly dropping this sentence, she walked upstairs. Tears suffocated from his eyes to his heart, full of bitterness.
The spirit mother looked at her back and nodded with satisfaction, of course she knew her daughter's weakness.
When she came to Ling Jiaojiao's bedroom, her mean face just now turned into a kind color. The speed at which you change your face is truly amazing.
"Mom, did she say yes? Hmph, it's really cheap for her, that Zhao Lingyu is handsome! ”
Ling Jiaojiao, who had exquisite makeup, was lying on the chaise longue, mentioning her sister with a face full of disdain.
Mrs. Ling sat on the chair next to her lap and stroked her hair gently: "We are so beautiful, we are still the eldest lady of the Ling family." Don't marry that Zhao Lingyu, I heard that he seems to have given up his inheritance? ”
A smile bloomed on the corner of the male mother's lips, her precious daughter, of course, must marry the best! As for Ling Yuxi, she didn't want to think about it.
In the middle of the night, the sky was still pouring rain, and in this deep summer, it brought a little cold.
The Lingjia Villa was silent, and it was thought that everyone had gone to bed early. And in a narrow house of the Ling family, there was a faint light.
Ling Yuxi sat in the darkness, staring intently at the computer.
I swiped the web page again and again, looked for news related to Fu Chen again and again, and paid attention to the latest updates again and again.
Ling Yuxi's mood became heavier and heavier.
Haicheng Urban Construction Company, due to cutting corners, led to an accident, and several construction workers disappeared.
Staring at this kind of title, Ling Yuxi only felt hateful. The right hand clenched the mouse, and Ling Yuxi's whole body tensed.
It was as if an invisible hand in the air was grabbing her throat and making her breathless.
Although it was not her who died, she experienced the feeling that life was worse than death!
Fu Chen, Fu Chen......
Ling Yuxi wrapped her hands around her knees, buried her head, and her tears could no longer be suppressed.
The night is still deep.
In this spirit family, no one would have noticed at all that in this small room, she was in great sorrow.
"Yuxi, get up. Still sleeping so late? ”
The voice of the Spirit Mother was dissatisfied overhead, and Ling Yuxi forced herself to open her eyes.
The eyelids were a little heavy, and when she saw her mother's figure, Ling Yuxi still felt very blurry.
She had only one feeling at the moment: she was very unwell, she should be sick.
Ling Yuxi wanted to speak, but she felt as if there was a thorn in her throat, and she felt a raw pain.
Seeing Ling Yuxi's appearance like this, Lingmu frowned slightly, and her tone was mean, "My eldest lady, my mother has personally come to invite you, what else do you want?" ”
Ling Yuxi raised his hand and stroked his head, shaking his head vigorously, only to feel a little sober.
Ling Mu was still "buzzing" on the side, Ling Yuxi really couldn't stand it, and said coldly: "Enough!" I don't feel well and don't want to get up. Please get out. ”
After last night, how can this woman be embarrassed to call herself a mother?
Ling Yuxi raised her hand and stroked her slightly hot forehead, and then she understood. She had a fever.
Last night, she was drenched in the rain and caught a cold, how could she be okay?
Ling Yuxi lay on the bed, ready to get a good night's sleep. There is no one in this world who cares about her, and she herself must not collapse. Otherwise, what should the younger brother do?
When the spirit mother saw Ling Yuxi's attitude, she was even more angry. scolded directly: "Ling Yuxi, don't forget what you promised me last night!" ”
Ling Yuxi covered her ears with her hands, but she couldn't hear it.
Ling Mu angrily lifted Ling Yuxi's quilt directly, and her tone was fierce, "Get up!" This appearance made you marry into the Zhao family, and it all promoted you! ”
When Ling Yuxi heard this, he only felt that the irony was abnormal.
Mom's face is so thick-skinned, as if she was proposing marriage herself?
Ling Yuxi forced herself to get up and stood coldly in front of Ling Mu, "Mom, what are you going to do?" ”
Lingmu put away her meanness just now, and looked like a beggar, "It's not that your sister feels sorry for you, you are also a person who is going to marry into the Zhao family, I will buy you some clothes to dress up." ”
If in the past, no matter what, Ling Yuxi felt that Ling Mu loved her. But now, she only found it ironic.
When she and her younger brother came to Ling's house, their mother never took them to play, let alone take care of them, let alone buy them clothes.
In addition to her brother's medical expenses over the years, the food and clothing of their sister and brother have all relied on her salary!
Ling Yuxi sneered, "Thank you mom and sister for your kindness, but-" Ling Yuxi's face turned cold, "I don't want to." ”
"You don't want to? You don't have a face, why do we still have a face? I'll tell you, the hospital called me the day before yesterday, and your brother ......."
Ling Yuxi waved her hand to signal her mother not to continue, she struggled to her feet and began to dress.
Maybe it's because of the fever, the body is cold for a while, but this coldness is not as cold as one ten-thousandth of the bottom of the heart!
Mother ordered the driver to come to the sulod mall, which is the most complete luxury store in S City, and in the past 20 years of life, Ling Yuxi has never stepped here.
In just two hours, Ling Yuxi's whole body was dressed up, and the old clothes on her body were thrown away by her mother with disgust.
It seems that she is really determined to package her as a big lady.
I didn't think that I could get such treatment if I bought myself.
"Yu Xi, look...... Mom is so kind to you, you can't live up to my expectations. ”
The Spirit Mother looked her daughter up and down as if it was the first time she had seen her.
In her eyes, there was only the calculation of a philistine. Bursts of acid and hot flashes were intertwined with cold, enveloping her whole body, dizzy, and she did not miss the distress in her mother's eyes when she saw the bill.
The stuff here must not be cheap.
But to be able to let such a greedy and vain woman who loves her life spend money for her, presumably...... She's still quite useful.
As for whose family the Ling family asked her to marry, she didn't want to think about it.
Fu Chen's death made her heart feel like ashes.
"Mother, can we leave?" Ling Yuxi opened his mouth coldly, his face was hot, and he even began to feel dizzy.
I started to have a fever in the middle of the night last night, and I haven't even taken medicine until now.
The Spirit Mother gritted her teeth and said, "Not yet!" I still need to go buy some cosmetics! ”
After Lingmu finished speaking, she pulled Lingyuxi and walked towards the beauty counter, this kind of relationship is really like a mother and daughter.
Ling Yuxi was in a trance for a while, she had fantasized about such a scene many times, but she didn't expect it to be in such a situation.
The heart is extremely bitter, since my mother married into the Ling family, she has not regarded herself and her younger brother as her own children, and now she can do this for the sake of Ling Jiaojiao, it is really not easy.
It was another round of hard work, until the spirit mother left with the big bags and small bags satisfied, and Ling Yuxi was so dizzy that she could barely see the way.
In the car.
"Yuxi, my mother has bought a lot of good things for you, you must pay attention to dressing up from now on-"
The woman's gorgeously painted lips were closed one by one, and she kept talking, and people who didn't know thought she was thinking about her daughter.
"Mom, I only promise to marry, as for the rest, I don't care, let alone what I'm doing for the Ling family."
Ling Yuxi barely supported her body, mercilessly piercing the warm lies that her mother had worked so hard to arrange.
"I tell you! You represent your sister, you are Jiaojiao! It's our spiritual home! Do you want the Ling family to fall because of your image?! ”
Lingmu said the intention, but the other party looked absent-minded, which directly aroused the anger in her heart.
The palm of his hand landed heavily on his thin back, making a dull sound.
But Ling Yuxi didn't react, anyway, since childhood, beating has become a habit, and this kind of "reminder" is still a slight one.
"I tell you! Don't think that if you marry into the Zhao family, you can get rid of the Ling family! Sparrows become phoenixes! ”
Ling Mu sneered, and a cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes: "You still want your brother, you have to work hard for the Ling family!" ”
Again, such a warning.
Ling Yuxi closed her eyes tiredly and leaned back in her seat.
Although she and her brother have always depended on each other, isn't her brother her son?
Why can she be so ruthless?
The woman's chatter continued, but this time, Ling Yuxi chose to be silent.
Just staring blankly, waiting for the scenery to pass by outside the car window.
How do you get married and your brother is home alone?
"Driver, stop!"
The woman's chatter was interrupted by a hoarse voice, and she was stunned for a moment, then asked sharply, "What to do?" Do you want to run away or how? ”
"I'm just going to get out of the car and go buy a candy man."
Following Ling Yuxi's line of sight, across the road, there was indeed a candy man shop.
"Okay, okay, come back quickly after buying it, the eldest lady of the Tang Tang Ling family buys this kind of thing, and she will be laughed at when she sees it!"
At this time, will she become the eldest lady of the Ling family? Ridiculous!
"Do you remember the thing I just asked you to give birth to a son to the Zhao family?"
The hand on the car door paused, and Ling Yuxi didn't look back, but just replied coldly: "I don't value my own children, but I still have the heart to educate others to have sons." ”
Quickly opened the door and got out of the car and closed the door again, blocking the woman's sharp curses in the car, Ling Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief.
She leaned against the door and gasped for breath before slowly walking across the road.
The footsteps are vain, as if stepping on cotton.
The light of the sun above her head seemed to pierce her eyes, and she raised her hand to block it, but it had no effect.
The eyelids seemed to carry the weight of the whole body, and cold sweat gradually broke out on the forehead, and everything in front of me became blurry.
Super cute couple avatar sharing! Super sweet and non-colliding, hurry up and use it!
The consciousness gradually moved away, and the last scene that stayed in Ling Yuxi's pupils was the silver-gray front of the car that was driving at high speed from far and near.
The screeching sound of brakes echoed on this wide, but carless road, and the silver-gray Rolls-Royce came to a stop, only a few centimeters away from the softly fallen Ling Yuxi.
"Phew! It's really unlucky, Lao Chen, you go and get the eldest lady in the car. ”
If she dies, who will marry her baby Jiaojiao?
Zhao Lingyu frowned, looked at the woman who fell outside his car through the car window, and felt a little headache.
If it weren't for the superior performance of Rolls-Royce, I'm afraid this woman would have become a dead person.
Zhao Lingyu shook his head and looked around, but no one stepped forward.
It seems that she came out alone.
Zhao Lingyu rubbed his forehead, although he didn't hit it, but after all, he fainted in front of his car.
"Wait, Lao Chen, is that the young master of the Zhao family?"
The Spirit Mother sitting in the car stopped the driver who was about to get out of the car, squinting her eyes trying to see the slender back.
"Yes, madam, that's the eldest young master of the Zhao family."
"Zhao Lingyu...... It's really a coincidence, let's go, go home! ”
"That big lady......"
Lingmu leaned on the seat and was secretly happy in her heart, urging the driver while staring at Zhao Lingyu and carrying the unconscious Lingyuxi into the car.
It's really a coincidence, I never expected that it was Zhao Lingyu who bumped into that unlucky girl.
It was good for the two to meet early, which also saved her a lot of trouble in arranging a pre-wedding meeting.
The unlucky people are all together.
"What Miss, just let you go!"
Lao Chen naturally didn't know these little abacus in her heart, and only stared at Ling Yuxi, who didn't know whether she was alive or dead, and was carried into the car by Zhao Yu, and sighed.
"Fu Chen......"
The woman's lips were chapped and her face was pale. The emaciated body was completely sunk into the wide futon, like a withered rose.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Zhao Lingyu raised his hand to look at the time, and his brows furrowed. His time can't be wasted, according to the doctor, it's just an ordinary typhoid cold, and since the condition is under control, there is no big problem.
It's been a full day since she was brought to the hospital, but she shows no signs of waking up, just muttering something from time to time.
It's just that she didn't have anything on her body that could prove her identity, and her family couldn't be contacted for the time being.
You can't leave her in the hospital, Zhao Lingyu sighed. It seems that this is the only way to go.
"Arrange it, let's go home."
After lightly instructing the secretary, he bent down and carefully picked up the unconscious Ling Yuxi.
"Young Master, I'm ......"
The secretary was halfway through his sentence when he swallowed it back. Zhao Yu had already held Ling Yuxi in his arms and walked towards the door.
He sighed softly, the eldest young master has been such a soft-hearted appearance since he was a child, and it is strange that he can eat well in the Zhao family.
Zhao Lingyu is tall and has long arms, and Ling Yuxi nests in his arms like a kitten.
"Second Young Master, you're back."
Zhao Yanling walked into the living room, and the maid respectfully greeted him.
Zhao Yanling's eyes glanced around the living room, and he didn't find Zhao Yu's figure, and he couldn't help but feel quite strange, at this time, the eldest brother would fiddle with his pots of flowers and plants in the courtyard.
"Where's the big brother?"
The servant lowered his eyebrows and replied, "The eldest young master is upstairs...... Take care of a young lady. ”
Oh? Big brother actually brought a woman back? It's a surprise.
Zhao Yanling was suddenly full of curiosity, and was about to go upstairs, but saw Zhao Lingyu slowly walking down the stairs.
On the contrary, he was not in a hurry and sat firmly on the sofa.
The servant poured two cups of coffee and respectfully withdrew.
After all, the Zhao family is still the one who has the final say, and it is still this terrible second young master.
Zhao Yanling stirred the coffee, and his sharp gaze shot directly into Zhao Lingyu's eyes. The corners of his lips are slightly hooked, and his tone is full of ridicule.
"Big brother, I heard that you brought a woman back? And last night...... I remember you didn't come home either. ”
His pupils were dark and sharp, as if they could penetrate people's hearts. Even Ling Zhaoyu, who was connected to him by blood, didn't want to look at his eyes more.
He didn't look away, he was a little embarrassed.
He is naturally clear in his heart, and he must be a servant who is too talkative. The servants of the entire Zhao family were afraid of him, Zhao Ershao, but they had no scruples about his entire eldest young master.
Zhao Lingyu sat next to Zhao Yanling casually, put his hand on Zhao Yanling's shoulder, and his face was full of helplessness: "Don't listen to their nonsense, I accidentally hit someone yesterday, and the woman was still in a coma, and she kept calling a man's name in her mouth." ”
He paused, Ling Yuxi's pale but delicate face appeared in his mind, and said softly: "It should be someone I love very much, it's really ...... Affectionate. ”
Seeing a gentle look in Zhao Lingyu's eyes, Zhao Yanling frowned slightly, didn't he, the eldest brother's soft-hearted problem, make him suffer enough!
Moreover, there are too many women who inexplicably want to have a relationship with the Zhao family.
Especially this kind of woman of unknown origin.
Zhao Yanling's voice was low: "Big brother, don't you think the whole thing is too coincidental?" You've been driving for so many years, when have you ever hit someone? ”
When Zhao Lingyu heard this, he immediately smiled, and his eyes were as bright as broken stars.
Patting his younger brother on the shoulder, Zhao Lingyu sighed, "Yan Ling, that woman is definitely not like this, you, you just do too much business and think too much." ”
Regarding the eldest brother's explanation, Zhao Yanling was undeniable: "Big brother, you are about to get married, so pay attention to the influence." ”
Zhao Lingyu's smile gradually faded, and he turned to an extremely serious expression: "Yan Ling, I'm tired of this kind of life, I'm tired, I want to leave the Zhao family." As you know, I don't have any pursuit of fame and fortune, and I don't want to tie up interests in my marriage. ”
Ling Yuxi's unconscious appearance suddenly appeared in his mind, and a trace of heartache crossed him.
Trying to ignore this weird feeling, Zhao continued: "I bought a small farm in Europe and was going to go there to be a free-spirited landowner. ”
Zhao Yanling kept listening to Zhao Lingyu and didn't ask, but his brows became tighter and tighter.
"Yan Zero, I'm tired, and I don't want to be used by those people in the family, the current situation seems that if I don't quit, you and I will both lose."
Speaking of this, he grabbed his younger brother's hand and said solemnly: "But although the Zhao family is big, they can't do whatever they want, such as the marriage contract with the Ling family." So, I hope you can help me. ”
"I understand, big brother."
Zhao Yanling, who has always been cold-faced, has some sour eyes at this moment.
Although this eldest brother is the same as himself, the relationship between the two is better than that of the brother. This is probably also because Zhao Lingyu has been indifferent to fame and fortune since he was a child, and he has a very indifferent view of inheritance rights and shares.
But this peace between the brothers has reached the point where it cannot be maintained. The Zhao family is too large, and behind the two brothers, they both have their own interest groups.
