Chapter 38: Liu's Villa (22)
"Miss Han, please stay!"
Han Jue, who was walking towards his room, was suddenly stopped.
The familiar voice made her quickly realize the identity of the person who spoke up, so she also showed a stunned look.
"Whew...... It's not easy to catch up with you......"
Tang Juyi's body was still wrapped in gauze, and at this time, he also showed a panting appearance, looking weak.
"Shouldn't Mr. Tang recuperate in the room?"
Han Jue hurriedly wiped the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes, revealing a somewhat embarrassed smile, the redness and swelling on his cheeks still hadn't completely subsided.
I have to say that the innate foundation of Han Jue's facial features is too outstanding, even in this state, it can reveal a kind of moving charm.
"What happened just now, how can I still settle down and cultivate?"
Tang Juyi sighed and said while shaking his head.
Han Jue smiled reluctantly:
"Mr. Tang is too worried, I actually ......"
"Actually, you don't want to fulfill this marriage contract, do you?"
Tang Juyi took a step forward, but said such a sentence softly.
Han Jue's smile froze:
"Mr. Tang...... Are you kidding? ”
Tang Juyi smiled:
"Whether it's a joke or not, Miss Han naturally knows it in her heart."
Some didn't dare to face Tang Juyi's gaze, and Han Jue also dodged his gaze:
"The marriage contract is not child's play, Mr. Tang's words seem to be a little inappropriate......"
Seeing this situation, Tang Juyi asked rhetorically:
"What does Miss Han think of this marriage contract?"
Han Jue took a half step back, and the fluctuations in his emotions were clearly displayed on his face:
"This marriage covenant...... Nature is a good thing......"
Tang Juyi looked at Han Jue:
"Is it a good thing for the Han family, or is it a good thing for you?"
Han Jue was already a little flustered:
"I ......"
Biting his lip lightly, Han Jue lowered his head and said very hurriedly:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Tang...... That's all for this chat......"
Then, as if he wanted to escape from something, Han Jue turned around very uneasily, quickened his pace and wanted to leave.
Tang Juyi stared at Han Jue's hurried back, and also said a sentence that had been planned for a long time:
"The man in black that night was your fiancé."
Han Jue's figure was like being struck by lightning, and he directly stopped on the spot.
After saying this, Tang Juyi turned around and walked towards his guest room, and said at the same time:
"Since Miss Han has something, let's talk about it when I have time."
Han Jue's body trembled, but he didn't turn around in the end.
Tang Juyi was not in a hurry, on the contrary, he was very sure that Han Jue at this time had already walked into the trap he had preset.
All he had to do now was wait.
……
It was late at night, and the descendants of the Liu family also sent warm soup, and Tang Juyi naturally enjoyed it unceremoniously.
Although it is said that the wounds created on his body before have deliberately avoided important parts, no matter what, for the sake of realistic effects, Tang Juyi is ruthless.
Relying on the natural recovery effect alone, even with the assistance of medicine, it is not very fast, at this time, there is a free soup, how can Tang Juyi let it go?
Watching his health increase little by little, a sense of steadiness also emerged in his heart.
"Da Da Da"
The sound of knuckle knocking came from outside the door, followed by Han Jue's soft voice:
"Mr. Tang, have you slept?"
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and Tang Juyi also responded:
"I didn't sleep, come in."
The door of the guest room creaked open, and Han Jue also cautiously walked into the room.
Due to the special reason of visiting patients, Han Jue's behavior has not been noticed by many people, at most, there will be occasional chewing and breaking mouths between subordinates, but they don't have to care.
At this time, Liu Fengsui was also busy understanding the real cause of his mother's death, and he had no time to take care of these things. As for Liu Yunfei? The eldest man of the Liu family also didn't know where to make trouble, and he never showed up.
Turning around and closing the door, Han Jue also walked to Tang Juyi's bed with a little hesitation, opening his mouth slightly, but he didn't know what to say to break the silence.
"If Miss Han has anything she wants to ask, she will ask it together, and Tang will naturally not shirk if she can answer."
Tang Juyi sat up slightly straighter, looking at Han Jue in front of him with a strange look.
Probably a little uneasy, Han Jue's throat rolled a few times before he barely squeezed out a few words:
"What Mr. Tang said before ......"
Tang Juyi said calmly:
"It's all true."
Han Jue raised his eyes and looked at Tang Juyi, his moist eyes were full of puzzlement:
"But...... How is this possible? Liu Gongzi, why should he ......"
Tang Juyi smiled coldly:
"If he is really the eldest young master of the Liu family, all this is really impossible. But since he was born to a maid in the house, and his biological mother was killed by Master Liu, then everything is not difficult to understand. ”
At this moment, Han Jue was directly stupid.
Without waiting for Han Jue to finish digesting it, Tang Juyi directly made a long story short, turned Liu Fengsui's bottom up, and told Han Jue in front of him in one go.
And Han Jue's reaction also transformed from disbelief at the beginning to complete numbness.
"I know Miss Han, it's hard for you to accept this for a while, but you might as well think about it, why did Young Master Liu get angry after you suddenly entered, and disregarded your face so much?"
Tang Juyi guided Han Jue's thinking.
"It's because ...... He was talking to you about that, wasn't he......"
Han Jue is not a stupid person, so he naturally understands what Tang Juyi means.
"To be precise, he is using his unknown secrets as bargaining chips to coerce and lure me."
Hearing this, Han Jue only felt that many things in his mind had collapsed and shattered in an instant, not only his impression of Liu Fengsui, but even the entire Liu family.
After saying this, Tang Juyi did not rush to continue the conversation, but gave Han Jue enough time to clear her thoughts and let her wake up from this huge shock.
After a long time, Han Jue asked softly:
"That'...... Why did Mr. Tang bring up the marriage contract? ”
Hearing this question, Tang Juyi knew that his plan had succeeded.
Taking a deep breath, Tang Juyi started the conversation according to the long-conceived script:
"I just think this engagement has been extremely unfair to you from the very beginning."
"You don't know anything about your fiancé, you don't know where he is, you don't know who he is, and you don't know what he thinks. And for the Liu family, what you know is only the tip of the iceberg...... You don't even have a clear idea of where you're going to marry. ”
Han Jue didn't refute, just stared at Tang Juyi's eyes seriously, waiting for him to continue.
"And what about the Liu family's attitude towards you? They choose to hide everything and only let you know what they want you to know. As for your fiancé, he doesn't even see you as his wife. ”
Tang Juyi's voice was full of induced taste:
"Miss Han...... Do you think this marriage contract is fair? ”
Han Jue looked at Tang Juyi's eyes, and a trace of sadness welled up in his eyes:
"It's unfair, so what?"
"My Han family needs this marriage contract, needs the support of the Liu family's family business, and also needs the inextricable links behind this marriage contract...... Moreover, since I have promised the marriage contract, if I disobey, what will the world say? ”
Yes, it's normal, this is exactly the attitude that women in that era should have in the face of traditional feudal etiquette. Not only out of reverence for tradition, but also out of self-abandonment and compliance with the demands of parents.
This is the pressure of the times that thin manpower cannot resist.
Hearing these words, Tang Juyi's eyes flashed with a strange brilliance:
"All that aside, are you willing to fulfill this engagement?"
Han Jue was stunned:
"Leave it aside? How can these be left behind? Even if—"
Tang Juyi interrupted Han Jue's words:
"I'll just ask you, are you willing to fulfill?"
Han Jue's lips opened slightly, trembling for a long time, and finally just spit out a faint word:
"No ......"
After saying this word, as if all his courage had been exhausted, Han Jue directly hid his face and sobbed.
Tang Juyi waited quietly, sitting on the bed without saying a word.
When Han Jue's sobbing gradually subsided, Tang Juyi also said the most critical sentence:
"In that case, do you want to run away from all this?"
Han Jue's eyes were red, and he raised his head a little stunned:
"Escape?"
Tang Juyi smiled slightly:
"Exactly. You have family expectations and requirements, but I don't. You have the eyes of the world to be afraid of, but I don't have either. You have identity constraints, and I, as an outsider, have no scruples. ”
"If Young Master Liu dies, do you think you will still need to fulfill this marriage contract?"
These words were like thunder, which frightened Han Jue, who had not completely changed his concept:
"You...... You don't have to ......"
The situation has developed to the most critical step, and Tang Juyi did not hesitate, and directly stated his plan:
"Not bad. I know so many secrets of this Liu family, and Liu Feng will definitely not let me go, in this case, I might as well take the initiative and turn him into a dead man. ”
Han Jue covered his mouth and wanted to scream, but he couldn't make a sound.
Tang Juyi stared at Han Jue's helpless eyes and said gently:
"Miss Han, I am not telling you this to threaten you. On the contrary, I just want to give you two options. ”
"You can choose to side with the Liu family, tell them what I plan, and pray that my plan doesn't succeed. In this way, you may be able to become the next 'Lady Liu' in peace and spend the rest of your life with Liu Fengsui." ”
"Of course, you can also choose to be on my side and give me a little help. And in return, you can run away from that damn engagement without even paying any price. ”
Under the reflection of the candlelight, Tang Juyi's eyes were bright and uncertain:
"So, can you tell me your choice now?"
