Chapter 18: Hidden in the Heart
Today, many years later, Zhong Yu really got his wish. On the night of Zhong Lei's tragic death, he bypassed Zhong Lei's body and picked up the key on the table. He carefully looked at the key in his hand, and the corners of his mouth couldn't contain the joy, "Mom, I have completely obtained everything from the Zhong family, and all the people who have hurt us no longer exist." He took the key in his hand, and his happy smile flashed with a hint of contempt, "Auntie, you are really smart, do you think that if I only have a box and no key, my eldest brother will dodge?" ”
Constantly holding the key in his hand, Zhong Yu walked to Ah Feng's corpse and looked at it coldly, "In the next life, don't meet me again...... leaning down and closing Ah Feng's eyes, Ah Feng stared, Zhong Yu still looked at it coldly, Xu is hatred in his heart is still gone, and Xu is ......
Zhong Yu sat in the silk village and watched the guests coming in and out, as if enjoying a very beautiful scenery. This is his Yun Wu Silk Village, which is only one of the several silk villages he owns, and he is the master of this place, and the richest man in the city. Zhong Yu's face is full of smile, confidence, and sharpness, and this kind of smile can match his identity at this time.
Outside the door, a noblely dressed woman walked into the silk village and began to select materials. The woman is a little dilemma, and it seems that every piece of material is the right choice. Seeing this, Zhong Yu stepped forward and said politely, "Madam, let me help you." As soon as the woman saw that it was Zhong Yu, she suddenly smiled, "Second Young Master Zhong!" Hello. "Hello ma'am." Zhong Yu looked up at the woman and smiled back.
Seeing that Zhong Yu's smile was a little embarrassed, the woman couldn't help but laugh again, "Why, don't remember me." Do you remember one time when you went to Renhe Pharmacy to grab medicine for Mrs. Zhong, the old shopkeeper wanted to leave you to taste the osmanthus candy...... "It turned out to be Mrs. Cuixi, what a rudeness." Halfway through the woman's words, Zhong Yu suddenly realized. Haha, you finally remembered. I really didn't expect that this nationally renowned Yun Wu Silk Village was also opened by your Zhong family. Cui Xi said, looking at the fabric beside her, "I also asked Boss Zhong to help me choose a piece of festive material, I want to go to a friend's birthday banquet." ”
"Okay." Zhong Yu responded and chose among the many satins, and in the end, he picked a water-green hibiscus flower satin to show Cui Xi, "This hibiscus brocade should meet the requirements of Madame." Cui Xi gently twisted the corner of the silk and looked at it, "This pattern is really beautiful." It's just that the color is too delicate. In my opinion, such a tender color would only look good if it was worn on Ah Feng's body. Zhong Yu was stunned for a moment, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and his face turned pale all of a sudden, "Madame's memory is really good, she just saw us once and wrote it down." "Boss Tongzhong, it's true that I've only met once, but Ah Feng is not." Cui Xi smiled and shook her head, "Our sisters are different from you, we are destined." "What do you mean...... I don't understand. Zhong Yu smiled politely, and a thought inexplicably surged up in his heart, even he couldn't tell himself, and he couldn't tell it.
Cui Xi turned sideways, raised his hand and pointed in the opposite direction outside the door, "More than ten years ago, on the opposite side of this silk village, there was a Mingde Medical Center, Boss Zhong is from the old mall, he must know." "Yes." Zhong Yu replied in the affirmative. "My fate with Xiao Afeng started there." Cui Xi put down her arm, turned around, and looked at Zhong Yu, "Mingde Medical Center, my brother opened it." My brother is the apprentice of the old shopkeeper of Renhe Medical Center, you know, my brother opened that medical center after he graduated from school. Although it was many years ago, I still remember that the rain fell so hard that day, just as it was on the day you brought Ah Feng to get the medicine. That day, my brother and sister-in-law quarreled over trivial matters, so the hospital was not open that day. I was busy persuading my brother and sister-in-law to fight, and I noticed that there was a knock on the door outside the hospital...... Then I seemed to feel that the knocking on the door had been going on for a long time, and then I went to open the door. When I opened the door, it was a little girl of seven or eight years old, standing in the rain and knocking desperately on the door, but she was so thinly dressed, I thought it was a little girl who couldn't stand the master's beating and scolding. ”
Cui Xi heard an increasingly rapid knock on the door, holding an umbrella and trotting all the way to open the door of the medical hall. Outside the door stood a thinly dressed little girl, standing in the rain, one hand clasped to the door, the other still shaking. "Yikes! If there really is someone. Cui Xi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt pity in her heart, "Little sister with such a big rain come in." The little girl's clothes were already soaked and sticky to her body, the rain on her face ran down her chin, and her little body was trembling in the wind, but she didn't follow Cui Xi in, "Big sister, I'm looking for a doctor, our second wife is sick." ”
When Cui Xi heard the little girl's words, she was a little embarrassed, "However, our hospital will not see a doctor today, and the doctor will ...... today" Before Cui Xi's words were finished, the little girl held her hand and couldn't stop her tears, "Please!" Please, big sister...... Our second wife is very sick, and the young master is also in a hurry. Seeing the little girl's anxious and helpless appearance, Cui Xi held her hand and comforted, "Little sister, don't worry, I'll help you." You wait here, and I'll go and call the doctor for you." "Thank you, big sister!" Ah Feng bowed again and again, his eyes were full of gratitude but also with some caution and concern, "Big sister, I ran away secretly, and I have to go back first." Please ask the doctor to go to Master Zhong Tiande's house in the north of the city, hurry up. With that, the little girl turned around and was about to leave, but Cui Xi stepped forward and gently held her shoulder, "Wait, little sister, what's your name." "Big sister, my name is Ah Feng." Ah Feng smiled, braved the heavy rain, and ran farther and farther......
Zhong Yu's face began to turn paler and paler at some point, and he stared at Cui Xi who was still smiling in his memories, with tears in his eyes, "What happened later?" Doctor, did you go? ”
As soon as he heard Zhong Yu's question, the smile on Cui Xi's face was not left, "I told my brother about it, and my brother rushed over immediately, but it was still too late." When I arrived at Zhong's house, I happened to meet someone who went out to deliver the letter, and the person who delivered the letter told my brother that the second wife of the Zhong family was dead, so my brother didn't go in, and came back with a sigh. ”
Cui Xi subconsciously looked at Zhong Yu's appearance, surprised that Zhong Yu's eyes were red at some point, and his face was full of tears. Cui Xi felt guilty that the past mentioned by Xu is was related to the death of the Zhong family, which aroused Zhong Yu's sadness, so he deliberately smiled and wanted to avoid the topic, "Don't talk about those unhappy things, after my brother and sister-in-law moved, I also left together, and then I rarely came to the mall." It wasn't until a few days ago that I followed my husband back to the mall, and I met Ah Feng again when I visited Renhe's old shopkeeper on behalf of my brother and sister-in-law. Of course, at that time, I just thought that the girl behind you was very similar to Xiao Afeng back then, and I wasn't sure if she was or not. But after you left, the old shopkeeper told me about you, and I was sure that she was Ah Feng. Coincidentally, within a few days, I saw Ah Feng again. It was raining heavily that day, and I saw Ah Feng chasing you with an umbrella on the street. I was too far away from you to hear your conversation, I just saw Ah Feng walking back sadly with an umbrella alone, while you went in the other direction. I couldn't help but go up and grab Ah Feng and ask her if she still remembers the big sister who asked her name back then......"
Ah Feng and Cui Xi walked side by side on the street, Cui Xi always couldn't help but take a few steps and looked at Ah Feng with a smile, "Fate is really magical, I didn't expect us to meet again after so many years." Just like at that time, I wanted to know your name, but I thought that this little sister seemed to be very close to me. Hearing Cui Xi's words, Ah Feng couldn't help laughing, "It turns out that the person who chatted with the old shopkeeper in Ren and was the big sister." I was so stupid that I didn't even recognize you at the time. ”
Although Ah Feng had a smile on his face, Cui Xi seemed to see some clues, "You, quarreled with the second young master of the Zhong family?" "Nope." Ah Feng shook his head, "The second young master has a good temper and never quarrels with others. "He seems to like you." Cui Xi approached Ah Feng and deliberately teased her, seeing Ah Feng shaking his head, he lowered his head and did not speak, Cui Xi leaned on Ah Feng a little closer, "Haha, I'm shy." I'm kidding. We've only met three times, but I just feel very close to you. ”
While laughing, the two of them gradually walked to a crossroads. Cui Xi pointed to the turn on the right, "I'm going that way, let's meet again, Ah Feng." "Big sister, take care." Ah Feng's eyes were reluctant, she didn't seem to have smiled without scruples for many years, in front of Cui Xi, she smiled sincerely, and the joy of seeing her childhood big sister was going to disappear again at this moment. Cui Xi gently held Ah Feng's shoulder, just like many years ago, "Ah Feng, you are a kind girl. I wish you and the person you like can live a happy and happy life together, goodbye. With that, Cui Xi walked sideways to the alley on the other side, and couldn't help but stop and look back, only to see that Ah Feng was still waving at him on the spot, Cui Xi smiled and waved his hand and turned forward, without looking back.
Cui Xi put down the fabric in her hand, changed another piece, put it on her body and compared, and then looked at Zhong Yu. Zhong Yu was still standing in a daze, his eyes were slightly dilated, and the tears on his face were particularly dazzling. Cui Xi put the fabric in her hand back in place, once again trying to ease the sadness in Zhong Yu's heart, "Why didn't you see Ah Feng?" Hearing Ah Feng's name, a smile gradually appeared on Zhong Yu's sad and hesitant face, "She ...... I went to a far away place, and when she came back, we were going to get married. The smile on Zhong Yu's face was extremely light and thin, just like the light full of joy in his eyes, although it was full of infinite longing and happiness, it was like an illusory dream, and it was shattered when he touched it.
"Congratulations on that!" Cui Xi's congratulations seemed to be a sharp sword wrapped in honey, easily and without a trace, shattering Zhong Yu's sweet dream. Zhong Yu's smile froze on his face, dazed and lost......
A car whistle sounded at the door, Cui Xi glanced outside the silk village, and sorted out his clothes with a smile, "My husband came to pick me up, the materials you picked for me just now and a few other pieces I chose, please let the guy send them to the Li Mansion." "Okay, Madame, go slowly." With a polite smile on his face, Zhong Yu sent Cui Xi to the door, and the courtesy was all thoughtful. However, the mun in his eyes still failed to fully ease, and there was no strength in his tone.
