91. The so-called price
"Sudden death? How can it be? "I clearly remember that night, Dad Zou politely talked to me about some things about Zou Moyan, although he didn't make it clear what kind of attitude he had towards me, but he still encouraged me to give me a check to help me tide over the difficulties, of course, his only request was to let me leave Zou Moyan temporarily, and when everything settled, let us be together, how could that talkative and funny Dad Zou die violently?
"Jiajia, this is a fact, he died not long after you left the Zou family that night, he ate a bite of the pineapple cake you took before he died, and then the forensic doctor came and said that the pineapple cake was poisonous. Potassium cyanide is highly toxic. ”
I looked at Lu Chengying blankly, my mind was full of what he just said, how could pineapple cake be poisonous? Potassium cyanide, how do I have access to these things?
Originally, I went to visit him out of politeness, and bought some things on the street, but at that time I didn't know what would happen to me and Zou Moyan, and I couldn't lose my courtesy when I visited for the first time.
"No, no." I muttered, "I bought the pineapple cake at a dessert shop near his house, I randomly selected a few, and after packing the box, I went directly to Zou Moyan's house, at that time his father also said that I had a mind, and said that he liked this flavor of pineapple cake the most..."
"But the fact is that Zou Moyan's father died that day, and the Zou family suppressed this matter, and we were seen together by them, and then that fire broke out, and we returned to China, and Zou Moyan disappeared."
"You already know this, don't you?" I grabbed the sleeve of Lu Chengying's shirt, "Lu Chengying, you already know these things, don't you?" You know that my father is fine at all, and you know that Zou Moyan's father died violently, and you are hiding all this from me! ”
"Jiajia, calm down!"
"I can't calm down." As soon as I blinked, tears rolled down the back of my hand, "In the past two years, you have watched me crazy, looked at me stupid, watched me and Zou Moyan misunderstand each other, and watched me step by step into Zou Moyan's trap, in fact, you know everything..."
"Jiajia." Lu Chengying pressed my head and pressed me into his arms, "Do you think I won't be uncomfortable?" I see that you are not uncomfortable because of Zou Moyan's pain? Am I not moved when I see you fall into his trap? You tell me what I can do? I give you money, you don't want it, buy you a house, you don't want it, I say I love you, you don't accept it, you say, what can I do? ”
Lu Chengying said very excitedly, I listened to the violent beating of his heart, and suddenly felt that I had no right to blame him, all along, I looked strong, in fact, I relied too much on Lu Chengying's existence, I could face him at any time and in any posture, because I really regarded him as a friend.
All of this is my own decision, and every step of my way is my own way.
"I want to see Zou Moyan, I want to see him immediately." I broke free of Lu Chengying and walked straight to the elevator position, I didn't take anything, I entered the elevator in a thin sweater, Lu Chengying chased after me, out of the hotel, he said to pick up the car, let me wait in place.
How could I possibly wait here? There is only one thought in my heart at this time, I want to see Zou Moyan, now, immediately, immediately.
I ran on the road quickly, Zou Moyan's house is not far from here, but if you want to run, it will take at least twenty minutes.
The human life that Zou Moyan said is talking about Zou's father?
But it really has nothing to do with me.
The biting cold wind invaded my body, I rushed all the way to Zou Moyan's home, I want to ask all this, I don't want him to live in an inexplicable hatred, I want to say, I am also a victim, because of the death of Dad Zou, I really don't know at all.
I didn't feel cold when I ran, all the way to the door of Zou Moyan's house, I rang the doorbell frantically, and after a long, long time, there was no response.
He's not at home, is he?
I curled up in a small ball and sat at the door of his house, hoping that he would see me when he came back in the evening, but I was still disappointed, Zou Moyan did not come back all night, and his neighbor was startled when he opened the door in the morning, "Need help?" ”
I don't know what the hell I look like now, but I still shook my head sensibly, I don't need an ambulance, I want to see Zou Moyan.
I stood up and looked at Zou Moyan's door, and when I was sure he was really not at home, I got on the elevator and left.
The morning was really cold, I was wearing a thin blue sweater and just walked out of the unit door of Zou Moyan's house, and suddenly I was draped in a black coat, which highlighted the warmth that shocked me, I looked back at Lu Chengying who was standing behind me, and said lightly, "Is this a doomed ending?" ”
"This is the beginning of a new story." Lu Chengying carried me into the car, the driver turned the warm air to the maximum, I held the hot milk that Lu Chengying gave me, and stared at the endless traffic outside the window. He said indifferently: "Go home first." ”
After I got home, I locked myself in the room, Lu Chengying didn't open the door no matter how I knocked, I curled up in the quilt, and all the thoughts in my heart were replaced by Zou Moyan.
What's he doing?
Suddenly I thought that today was a working day, he must be at work, thinking of this, I couldn't help but get up, changed my clothes, Lu Chengying ordered the takeaway on the table, I didn't even look at it, grabbed the backpack, and went out directly.
I took a taxi to Zou Moyan's company, the front desk knew me, so it didn't stop me, took the elevator all the way unimpeded, and finally arrived at the door of the general manager's office.
Forgetting all the politeness, all the reason, I pushed the door directly and went in, the room seemed to be in a meeting, Zou Moyan frowned, and the moment he looked at me, his brows wrinkled even tighter.
"I'm in a meeting."
"I have something to tell you."
"You go and wait for me in the reception room." Zou Moyan said a few sorry words to the people around me and then gave me a color, I honestly entered the reception room next to his office, and waited for him to end the meeting without moving.
I don't know how long it took for Zou Moyan to come out of the office, the moment I saw him, I instinctively stood up and walked to his side, and pulled his arm: "Moyan, when I went to your house two years ago, I brought pineapple cakes over, which I bought in the cake shop, I didn't put poison in it, I didn't know that your father died, I'm sorry, I don't know....."
Zou Moyan's tone was cold, "How do you know?"
"How do I know does it matter? Have you been hiding this from me? Why didn't you tell me, this matter really has nothing to do with me, I respect your father very much, he didn't object to us being together, he just said that now is not the best time for us to be together, I really just took that check......"
"That's it?" Zou Moyan's tone was still the same, he clasped his hands on his chest, and his gaze gently swept over me, "You took the check?" What happened after that and you want me to be reminded? You are with Lu Chengying, you are not wearing clothes, riding on him. ”
"After I returned to my house, Lu Chengying also came, and then we didn't know how to be together, I didn't know what was going on at the time, but we really didn't have a relationship, and I didn't ..... until you appeared"
"Really?" Zou Moyan looked at me and gently held my neck with his hand, "You took my father's money and directed and acted in a play with Lu Chengying to make me die?" He Jiaran, should you be filming a TV series? ”
"Didn't you set a fire to my house too? When you and your friends saw us together, they turned around and started a fire, and I almost burned to death! ”
"Why didn't I burn you to death?" Zou Moyan's hand slowly strengthened, my throat slowly tightened, and finally it was a little difficult to breathe, "He Jiaran, if I want you to die, there will be a hundred ways, but burning to death is too cheap for you." ”
Fire, didn't Zou Moyan put it?
"He Jiaran, do you know how much I hate you? You're a bankrupt family, and what about me? Does a broken family count? At that time, my father died suddenly, and few people knew that he was the last one you ever met, I was misunderstood by my family and killed my father, and the family business was taken over by my uncle, I watched Lu Chengying take you away in that fire, what about me? Uncle didn't rub sand in his eyes, and he sent me to a mental hospital. ”
Mental hospital, I was shocked, looking at the man in front of me in disbelief, but my breathing became more and more rapid, "You...."
"Yes, I was forcibly imprisoned by them, injected with unknown liquids every day, ate those pills that I couldn't name, I was on the verge of collapse several times, Uncle made me cut off all contact with the outside world, what were you doing at that time?"
I tried to speak, but my throat was tight.
"You are looking for a house and a job all over the street with Lu Chengying, the eldest son of the Lu family accompanies you to take the bus and squeeze the subway, he helps you find a house, solve the job, settle your father, and even help your brother find a store...."
"Mo Yan...."
Zou Moyan's hand shook hard, I instantly felt suffocated, my eyes drooped, and I couldn't think of some things in my mind, but I never felt afraid, Zou Moyan said, death is the best relief.
"Mo Yan, I didn't.... I didn't...."
"Let her go!" Lu Chengying suddenly appeared in the reception room, he punched Zou Moyan firmly, Zou Moyan let go of his hand, and I fell to the ground with a soft body, "Zou Moyan, you will strangle He Jiaran." ”
"What does it have to do with you?" Zou Moyan gently wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were cold: "Didn't you tell He Jiaran these things just to let He Jiaran know how much I hate her?" Lu Chengying, congratulations, you did it. ”
"You also succeeded in letting He Jiaran know that my relationship with his father made her reject me," Lu Chengying looked at Zou Moyan calmly, "Each other." ”
