Chapter 81: Am I Betraying Her?
That night, it was like a crossroads of fate, and many things began to turn wrong that day.
In the years when Su Ruan disappeared, Xiao Qingmo often wondered if some things would have been different if he hadn't asked for her. But there is no regret medicine in the world, and there are no ifs.
All he can do is keep the past regrets firmly in his heart and cherish and protect the people in front of him even more.
Life is in what people think is calm, and there are always waves.
The next morning, Xiao Qingmo woke up and ordered breakfast, the waiter came to open the door, and he went to pick up the dining car.
When they came back and looked at the time, it was already eight o'clock, and after breakfast they should go back.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, you have to go to the Xiao family's mansion, this is the rule.
Entering the bedroom, Su Ruan sat at the head of the bed.
"Wake up" Xiao Qingmo walked over and wanted to hug her.
But when it came into contact with her eyes, the outstretched hand slowly lowered.
Xiao Qingmo looked at the docile and delicate girl in front of him, and said firmly: "Sakura, happy New Year." ”
"Third brother, happy New Year." Su Ying showed a soft smile, and was a little shy, "I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
It's been a long time since I saw him, and Su Ruan hasn't appeared since she remembered her acquaintance with him. He even thought that Su Ying would disappear like this and never appear again.
But I didn't expect to give him such a big gift on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
"Go wash up, we should go back." Xiao Qingmo stood up and pulled away a little.
If it was left in the past, he would take Su Ruan to take a bath. But not now, there are two personalities living in the same body, and he knows who he loves and can't overcome.
Su Ying was a little weak when she got out of bed and almost fell.
Xiao Qingmo stepped forward to help her, and waited for her to stand firm before letting go.
Su Ying entered the bathroom, stood in front of the washstand, and looked at the person in the mirror. His hair is slightly fluffy, his face is ruddy, and his eyes are full of water.
She stretched out her hand and stroked the person in the mirror, and said softly: "Su Ruan, what's wrong with me, I bear the most painful memory for you, and I will please the person you hate for you." But at the end of the day, when you get all the happiness, do I have to disappear?"
"I love the third brother too, I love him so much."
"You said it was so good in the past, even if I only had a little time."
Su Ying looked at the person in the mirror and began to cry, she raised her hand to wipe away her tears.
"Everybody wants me to disappear."
"I'm gone, are you sure you can handle those things?"
Su Ruan fell into a deep sleep, and naturally no one answered.
Su Ying showed a well-behaved smile, "Su Ruan, you are afraid, afraid that the third brother will live up to your trust." Otherwise, why don't you dare to talk to Xu Qing about talking to you?"
"Since you won't give me a little time, then you can disappear."
"That's what fairness is called."
Xiao Qingmo drove Su Ying back, and when he got out of the car, he subconsciously took her hand and quickly let go.
Su Ying obediently followed him and went home.
"Your dad took Ah Soft out to do bad things." Qiao Shendong sat in the living room and said indignantly: "Taking advantage of the inconvenience of my legs and feet, I abducted my family's Ah Soft." ”
Xiao Ran said seriously: "She is Dad's wife, not yours." ”
"Yo, protect Xiao Qingmo like this." Qiao Shendong unceremoniously sowed discord, "He was cold to you, and you were not allowed to call him dad a few years ago, why did you go to your heart." ”
Xiao Ran was poked at the pain point, decided not to talk to him, and bowed his head to play chess with himself.
CRR sat on the side and played with a knife, the sharp knife spinning around in her hand, nimble like a part of her body.
Qiao Shendong heard the movement, turned his head to look over, and naturally saw people at a glance. The smile on his face paused, and he recognized Su Ying at once.
"Brother Qiao, it's been a long time." Su Ying smiled shyly and shyly.
Qiao Shendong calculated in his heart, he really hadn't seen him for a long time. After Su Soft lost his memory and left Rongcheng, the probability of Su Ying appearing was very small. Occasionally, Su Ruan has nightmares or encounters thunderstorms, she will appear and sit quietly and never cause trouble.
"Come over and give my brother a hug." Qiao Shendong stretched out his arm and smiled very warmly and openly.
Su Ying glanced at Xiao Qingmo quickly, and saw that he had no objections, before walking over.
She hugged Joe Deep Winter and felt very warm.
Qiao Shendong couldn't lift one arm, patted her shoulder, and said sincerely: "Sakura Sakura, happy new year, you have been protecting me for so many years." ”
Su Ying blushed all of a sudden, and said a little overwhelmed: "This is what I should do." ”
Something flashed across Qiao Shendong's eyes, he pinched Su Ying's cheek, and said paradoxically: "What should be." ”
"Split personality" CRR said with interest: "Su Soft's second personality is such a shy and shy little girl." ”
"Hello." Su Ying sat down on the side, clasped her hands together, and smiled cutely and movingly.
CRR leaned back, "It's funny to be a people-pleaser." ”
There are often many kinds of split personalities, some tyrannical, and some even different from the gender of the main personality. In front of her, Su Ying showed a small animal-like expression when she saw her, obviously flattering her. The appearance of stupidity and anxiety is very pitiful.
Think about it another way, if someone with violent tendencies meets such a girl, it will be a little lighter.
"I didn't know you had research on split personality." Qiao Shendong leaned on the sofa and looked at CRR, he didn't trust this partner, but he believed in interests, so he entrusted his net worth and life to her.
But CRR lived up to expectations and brought him back to China just in time for Chinese New Year's Eve.
"I met a man in Myanmar three years ago who has a triple personality." CRR said with interest, "The main personality is a perverted murderer who loves to dissect. The second personality is a coward, who will only sleep with others to obtain shelter. The third personality is even more bizarre, he is actually a pious priest"
The two of them discussed passionately about the split personality, Qiao Shendong studied psychology and made some achievements in this research. And CRR is well-informed, and the two of them can really talk together.
Su Ying was originally a silent and soft character, sitting quietly on the side.
Xiao Qingmo listened for a while and asked Xiao Ran to go upstairs to play, this topic is really not suitable for children.
He looked at Su Ying, who lowered his eyebrows, and went to the balcony to blow the wind to calm himself down.
What the hell is going on, Su Ying will come out.
Where he didn't know, something must have happened, and Su Ruan was unwilling to tell him and endured it alone.
"Daddy." Xiao Ran came out of the room and asked cautiously, "What about her?"
He didn't understand what Uncle Qiao was talking about as a second personality, but he could feel that it was not Su Ruan who was sitting in the living room.
He looked exactly the same, but it wasn't him, which scared him a little.
Xiao Qingmo leaned over and picked him up and put him on the railing, and asked him, "Do you like Su Ruan very much?"
Xiao Ran blushed a little and said seriously: "Although she often breaks her promise and has a bad temper, I still like her very much." ”
"Then you tell me, is there anything wrong with her recently" Xiao Ran stays with Su Ruan every day, and he will definitely know something.
Xiao Ran hesitated, "Am I betraying her?"
Xiao Qingmo immediately said: "No. ”
Xiao Ran was still very convinced of his father, so he said obediently: "The day you went out to pick up Uncle Qiao, she answered the phone and talked for a long time. ”
"Tell me the scene at that time, what Su Ruan said, word for word."
Of course Xiao Ran can do it, he has a superior memory.
Twenty minutes after Xiao Qingmo went out, I received a call from Xu Qing.
If her phone calls used to be a warmth and a pillar for me, now it's a nightmare.
I stared at the phone that kept ringing, and it didn't move for a long time.
Xiao Ran asked me, "Don't you answer the phone?"
I shook my head, "I don't want to take it." ”
The phone rang again and again, and Xiao Ran said, "Last year, I hated a teacher and didn't want to see him at all." Later, Dad said that what he should face is something that cannot be escaped. Only by completely solving it can he disappear from my life forever. I finished his course as fast as I could, and I never saw him again. ”
There is no way to escape, and I have to be taught by a child.
In the past, I was not afraid of any bad luck or disaster, even if the sky fell. Maybe after being comfortable by Xiao Qingmo's side for a long time, I became timid.
When the phone rang for the third time, I answered.
"Finally willing to answer the phone"
"How is the life of Mrs. Fu, it is very comfortable, Su Soft, you have to thank me for raising you in the Tang family for more than ten years, otherwise where would you be worthy of Mr. Xiao."
A sarcastic tone, a hidden haze.
It's almost the same as the Xu Qing I remember, some of the beauty has faded, and I can only accept it.
"Is there something wrong?" I asked her calmly.
Xiao Ran looked at me with some concern, and I touched his head to show comfort.
"It's not a big deal."
"Isn't it possible to call me and say Happy New Year?"
"Su Ruan, I said before, your hard temper is very annoying."
"I hung up."
"Did you get in touch with your cheap parents, I went to see them once, and they sold pancakes, which was kind of funny."
Mother Su is a very good woman, I don't want to hear Xu Qing say this about her, I am a little angry, "This is my business, please stay away from me in the future, don't disturb my life anymore." Xu Qing, I thought there was no need for any more contact between us. ”
"Yes, the Su family is not your parents' business, and I don't have to call you to tell you."
I take a deep breath and "what do you mean"
"Mr. Xiao spent a lot of money to buy you such a kind family, do you feel more at ease and are not duckweed after all, even if your family is poor, you are still a family person. Su Ruan, I have also raised you for so many years. Know your character, oh, always revere the dispensable thing of family affection. ”
"The Su family did sell a daughter, but it wasn't you. It's not just you, they're in the dark. The only one who knows the truth is Mr. Xiao, and he may have wasted a lot of effort in arranging this scene. ”
"Are you wondering why he did this?"
