Chapter 22 Your Mother's Debt, Your Life
The past is coming back one after another, and I think of Zhao Zhiguo's attitude towards me and Zhao Pingsheng in the past, in fact...... It really doesn't feel like treating your own children at all.
scolded when he was unhappy, beat him when he was drunk, and even beat Zhao Pingsheng's head to the blood, and sent him to the hospital for stitches several times, and he was covered with wounds.
I didn't speak, and Zhao Zhiguo probably felt bored, so he pushed me away and put on my shoes.
"Now that the matching has been done, I have said everything that should be said, are you satisfied?"
I came back to my senses all of a sudden, Zhao Zhiguo was already about to walk to the door, and I looked at his back blankly.
His back was stiff, and I suddenly felt that he was too far from the strong, fierce man I had remembered many years ago.
At that moment, I couldn't tell what I was feeling, and Zhao Zhiguo suddenly paused.
He turned to look at me sharply, his gaze a little cloudy, but suddenly a little ruthless.
"No, don't think I owe you two brothers."
Zhao Zhiguo gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to point at me.
"The debt your mother owed back then, you can't pay it off in your life!"
His voice fell, he turned around through gritted teeth, slammed the door and left.
I sat stunned at the loud bang behind the door.
No one has mentioned my mom for so long that I almost forgot about this person.
Don't say I'm unkind, I can even forget my mother.
It's just that she left me with too few memories.
The few I can remember now are her last words.
She left early, when I was twelve or thirteen years old.
At that time, my mother had been married to Zhao Zhiguo for less than a year.
She couldn't close her eyes when she left, holding my hand and apologizing to someone.
I couldn't hear the name clearly, I just thought she was talking nonsense, until she said later, there was only one sentence left, "Be good to Uncle Zhao, our family...... owed to him. ”
I once kept this sentence in my heart, but then Zhao Zhiguo treated me and Zhao Pingsheng like that, and it was really difficult for me to have a good impression of him.
If Zhao Zhiguo hadn't said this sentence suddenly, I'm afraid I would have forgotten my mother's last words.
It was a long time before the door panel rang softly.
Lu Huaian stretched out his hand to push open the door and looked inside a little puzzled.
"Why are you still here?"
He furrowed his eyebrows, took a long step, and walked straight towards me.
I raised my head at this time, probably my face was very bad, and when Lu Huai'an saw me, he raised his eyebrows slightly.
"What's wrong with you?"
I didn't answer directly, and the conversation changed.
"Lu Huai'an, Zhao Pingsheng's illness, is there any other way?"
He paused, lowering his eyelashes.
I guess my state at that time was as if I had grasped the last straw, but it made Lu Huai'an silent for a long time.
"Perhaps, try it abroad?"
He probably guessed that I had just broken up with Zhao Zhiguo, so he didn't say much about anything else.
"In his current state, without a bone marrow transplant, he is basically ...... in China"
I quickly nodded, patted my pants and stood up.
Lu Huai'an said vaguely, of course I understood, but even if it was just a glimmer of hope, I wanted to seize it and save Zhao Pingsheng.
"I know, then I still have something to do, Dr. Lu, I'll go first."
After I finished speaking, I didn't wait for him to answer, and simply walked past him to the door.
On the way out of the inpatient building, my whole mind was confused, and it wasn't until Zhu Xiao's phone call came in that I reacted violently.
"Where?"
I said I was in the hospital, and I quickly ran a few steps to find a quiet place.
Zhu Xiao replied in a low voice, and didn't even give me a chance to refute.
"I'll have someone pick you up."
“…… Good. ”
I didn't expect to go straight to the Royal Gardens.
They rarely come here during the day, and I can't help but be a little dazed for a moment.
"Miss Cheng, Fourth Brother asked me to remind you, don't talk nonsense."
The driver, who was wearing sunglasses, tilted his head slightly to meet my face in the rearview mirror, and suddenly said something.
I nodded subconsciously, and my nerves tensed violently.
Could it be...... What's the big guy?
But looking at the driver's face, I didn't dare to ask more, just tightly grasped the backpack strap in my hand, and gently pushed open the door of the private room.
There was a lot of smoke inside, and I think there were a lot of smokers.
I had just stepped into it when I heard the sound of mahjong coming and going.
Zhu Xiao happened to sit where I could see at a glance, holding a cigarette obliquely at the corner of his mouth, and unbuttoning his shirt twice, revealing a beautiful muscle outline.
As soon as he raised his eyes to see me, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he raised his hand to beckon to me.
I subconsciously glanced at the table, and sure enough, there were a few fresh faces sitting, all of them quite old, and at first glance they should not be under forty years old.
Especially the one sitting beside Zhu Xiao, with a fierce face, it looks like a big brother on the road.
According to the order of their usual card tables, under normal circumstances, the main seat is always reserved for Zhu Xiao.
Today, it is the person who looks like the big brother who occupies the throne.
I remembered the driver's reminder on the road, and suddenly I lightened my breath and walked towards them with a smile on my face.
Zhu Xiao suddenly pulled me hard, I didn't stand firmly, and sat on his lap all of a sudden.
I don't know if it's my delusion, at that moment I seemed to notice that his muscles were very tight, but before I could react, Zhu Xiao's voice came close to my ears.
"Touch the cards, what are you doing in a daze."
His voice was vague and low, as if he was laughing, but it sounded a little cold.
Zhu Xiao's arm was casually placed on my waist and rubbed a few times ambiguously.
He moved very lightly, but I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, but I didn't dare to show it.
The voices of ridicule around suddenly rose.
"Yo, Zhu Si, you're foul, it's not wrong to love the casino!"
The speaker spoke with a northeastern accent, and the tone was obviously ridiculous, but it seemed to me to be a hint of threat.
The eldest brother sitting on the throne also turned his head to look at us as he spoke, and his eyes were like knives, with a little scrutiny.
I quickly stretched out my arms to draw the cards, lowering my head and not even raising my eyelids.
It's Zhu Xiao, the old god is here, and he looks calmer than anyone else.
His slender fingers took the card from my hand and inserted it between the two cards at random, not loud, but unexpectedly full of pampering.
"She likes to play cards and has a good time."
I was stunned for a moment, and noticed his hand gently squeezing my waist, and quickly pulled out a smile to cooperate with him.
"Yes, yes, I heard the fourth brother say that he wants to play cards, this hand is very itchy, you big brothers won't blame it, right?"
I deliberately pinched my voice, spoke loudly, and subconsciously leaned against Zhu Xiao's chest, which really looked like I was pitiful.
There were all men at the table, and as I expected, they ate the same spurs.
