Chapter 57: Hangzhou (4)
Fang Xun was very surprised when he received Lin Bei's call, he walked out of the room and closed the door, and then pressed answer.
"Fang Xun, come and pick her up."
Lin Bei's voice came from the other end of the phone, very clear and calm. Fang Xun's mind swiped over the picture of them together yesterday, and then said succinctly and forcefully, "Send me the address." ”
A few seconds later, an address was sent to Fang Xun's mobile phone, and he motioned for the driver to arrange the car, and then set off.
When he arrived at the "alley", Fang Xun was still thinking about how to take Liang Jiu away, and then he unexpectedly found Liang Jiu sitting by the lake in a daze.
He pressed the window of the car to look over, the warm winter sun could not withstand the cold in his heart, he hadn't seen him for a long time, Liang Jiu's whole person was so thin that it seemed like a gust of wind would blow away.
Thinking of the purpose of Liang Jiu's trip, his eyes dimmed a lot, if Liang Jiu knew his father......
The scenery in front of him was blocked by a figure, and the man bent down to look inside the car, "Can I go in?" ”
Fang Xun closed the window and let Lin Bei sit in, and then asked the driver to drive the car to the other end of the alley, he looked at Lin Bei sitting next to him, although he was a teenager who was still a teenager, his body exuded a seriousness that could not be ignored.
This is the first time the two have been alone.
"I wonder if Liang Jiu's father is still alive." Lin Bei asked straight to the point, not feeling what kind of man he was facing.
Fang Xun frowned, "I thought you brought her here after all the investigations." ”
"You're blocking the news too tightly, I don't want to startle the snake."
Fang Xun looked at Lin Bei's delicate side face, how could such an immature young man be worthy of Liang Jiu, it was really beyond his strength.
"You don't have to know about this kind of thing as an outsider." Fang Xun came with a warning, "Thank you for calling me today, you won't need you for the rest of the matter, please go back." ”
"Liang Jiu has the right to know where her father is."
"It's our family affair, I hope you still don't meddle with it."
"Her business is never idle." Lin Bei hooked the corners of his lips, "I hope you comfort her well, I just want her to be happy." ”
Lin Bei's words seemed to declare sovereignty, Fang Xun didn't like his attitude very much, but Lin Bei had already left as soon as his words fell, leaving only a back.
Fang Xun looked at Liang Jiu silently, then opened the door and got out of the car, when he walked to Liang Jiu's side, Liang Jiu suddenly turned around, first showing a surprised expression, and then turned dim.
Fang Xun's heart was also stunned, because Liang Jiu's expression was so helpless.
"Why are you here?" She asked very softly, as if she had been waiting for him all along.
"I'm worried when I hear you're gone." Fang Xun sat beside her, the legs of the two were very close, he lowered his head and saw that her slender legs seemed to have no flesh at all, "Why do you have to come." ”
"I miss my dad." There was a little idiot on the corner of Liang Jiu's mouth, "You know, although I have no impression of him, I actually miss him." ”
Fang Xun looked at the calm lake, occasionally there would be pedestrians passing by, their steps were so light, Fang Xun took a breath, "Come back to London with me." ”
Liang Jiu smiled, she had long known that Fang Xun was unwilling to say anything, for so many years, he had been helping Liang Xianyun keep his father's secret, she knew that he just wanted to protect her, but what was the point of such protection.
"When is your wedding?" Liang Jiuru was stuck in his throat, trying to make his voice less hoarse.
"Next Saturday." Fang Xun didn't want to talk about this, so he repeated again, "Come back to London with me, we all miss you." ”
All? Liang Jiu felt very bitter, Liang Xianyun hadn't contacted him for a long time, and Count Adler had only brought her a few small gifts through others, who else was thinking about her?
Even Fang Xun is going to be a father, where should she go in the future?
"I don't know how to face you, Fang Xun."
Fang Xun opened his mouth to say something, but found that his tongue was so numb, he sighed, feeling that something was passing in his heart.
"After you get married, you can be with her, they are all people with children, so why hurt her." Liang Jiu knew that her words were very unconvincing, but when she learned the news that Patricia was pregnant, she couldn't lie to herself anymore, how could she bear to break up such a family?
"Liang Jiu, don't jump to conclusions."
"I want you to be a responsible person and stop swaying back and forth, I like you, I like you very much, but if I want to ruin another woman's life, I don't want to." Liang Jiu was a little excited, and his voice became louder, "Fang Xun, don't think that I can't live well without you, I've grown up, and I can take on a lot of things by myself." ”
Fang Xun suddenly became quiet, in the days of accompanying Liang Jiu, he never thought that one day he would be rejected by Liang Jiu, even when Patricia said that she was pregnant with her own child, he still thought that Liang Jiu would understand all this.
Now, he has become the person who can be ignored in Liang Jiu's life.
Fang Xun is already a mature man, he will no longer be impulsive and will not promise anything easily, after thinking for a while, he finally found his senses.
"I know you'll grow up, but guarding you has become my habit, Liang Jiu, you can push me away, but I will always guard you."
"Then take me to him." Liang Jiu looked at him sideways, his eyes still red.
"That's the only thing I can't do."
"Then you go."
Fang Xun didn't leave, he just sat quietly beside her, his breathing was clear and audible, Liang Jiu's eyes lingered on the calm lake, but Fang Xun was thinking in his heart, when did the two of them drift apart?
***
After Lin Bei returned to the room, he turned on the computer he had with him, and he found the information that Cheng Fangyuan sent him, which contained all the files about Liang Jiu's father.
Although Cheng Fangyuan has tried his best to collect information, as a family member of such an important person, the recent situation of Liang Jiu's father Hu Feng seems confusing.
Hu Feng's family has no background, compared to Liang Xianyun, who was born in a high-level family, Hu Feng's family is too ordinary, his parents are both university professors, and he himself studied all the way to a doctorate in a first-class university, and then stayed in school, that is, when he was studying, he and Liang Xianyun met and fell in love, and finally came together.
When Liang Jiu was one year old, Liang Xianyun's family hoped that she would become a grassroots cadre after graduation, it can be said that Liang Xianyun's career had already been arranged clearly, but his family never thought that she would fall in love with a teaching son.
So after a few years of running-in, when Liang Jiu was three years old, Liang Xianyun took his daughter to the UK alone, and Hu Feng resigned from university and was never heard from again.
There are legends that he was seriously ill and died, and some people say that he went to the small city below to retreat, as Liang Xianyun's official position became bigger and bigger, the news about Hu Feng became more and more closed, and finally it almost became to the extent that no one mentioned it anymore.
Lin Bei stared at the screen and fell into deep thought, he kept recalling Liang Jiu's appearance in front of the Huxin Hotel, according to the information, the Huxin Hotel is the property of the Liang Xianyun family, but it has hardly been opened to the outside world in the past ten years, and it seems to have become the private property of the Liang family.
A phone call came in suddenly, Lin Bei frowned, it was his mother.
"Hey, Lin Bei, are you with Liang Jiu? How can you take her away, do you know that Liang Xianyun sent someone to our house to ask for someone, and the situation was unforgiving. ”
"It's okay now, Liang Jiu's brother will take her back, I'm sorry, Mom, I'm causing you trouble."
"Hey, it's also that their family is too strict, and there is no one at home when your father goes to the United States......"
"Going to the United States again?" Lin Bei knew that his father went to the United States just to meet Quan Ying privately, and the people on both ends of the phone were silent for a while.
"I'll be back next week, and I'll leave for Hong Kong tomorrow, come back as soon as you're done, help me say hello to Liang Jiu, I can't send her back to the UK."
Back in the UK, Lin Bei put down the phone, he thought of this possibility, and his mood became extremely bad.
He put on a trench coat and decided to go to the Huxin Hotel again.
