Chapter 195: Sowing Discord
Looking at Cen Man's expression that he would never give up on the child, Dr. Liu knew that no matter how much he persuaded him, it would be useless.
"If you're willing to take those risks, we'll give it a try."
This was the most memorable treatment process in Cen Man's life, although it was only half an hour, it felt as difficult as a few days and nights, which reminded her of the pain when she gave birth to Xiao Huomo.
"Thank you for not convincing me to give up." When she woke up, she found Lee Hyun standing by her bedside as he had promised, watching her nervously.
Li Xian just smiled at her gently, "I will support you in whatever decision you make." ”
Cen Man's heart was a little moved, he appeared in front of him when he encountered problems during this time, whether he was living on the street or being reproached by Mrs. Huo, it was Li Xian who stood up and stood in front of him.
He has done so much for himself and so little for him.
After returning to the apartment, Li Xian immediately called the security guard to call in the surveillance, and after some painstaking searching, he found that Cen Ting appeared sneakily at the door at midnight.
"What the hell are you going to do? It's not that you don't want to go to my house, you didn't just go and do something like this. Li Xian rushed to Cen Ting and took Cen Ting out and scolded angrily.
"What's wrong with me? Didn't you just help you clean your house? I don't have a fire lit by smearing some oil, and I'm not afraid of the police coming. ”
"You!" Li Xian's finger pointed at Cen Ting, looking at her shameless and still quibbling, and she was so angry that she couldn't speak.
"I'm helping you, Doctor Li, without this child, wouldn't you and Cen Man be able to get closer, I don't believe you are so loving, aren't you awkward to raise Huo Li's child?"
Cen Ting didn't know that Cen Man was pregnant, in fact, her original intention was to scare and scare Li Xian, and the instinct of people to slip and fall was to hold their hands on the ground, so as to protect their bodies and heads, if Li Xian, the surgeon, could break his hand, it would be an additional gain.
But sometimes life is such a surprise, she actually hurt Cen Man crookedly, Cen Ting laughed when she thought of this.
"You madman! What I think in my heart is my business, anyway, you are not allowed to hurt Xiaoman anymore. He listened to Cen Ting's hideous laughter, and glared at her and threatened her.
"Don't worry, she's my own sister, how could I hurt her." Cen Ting put away her laughter and suddenly assured seriously.
Watching Li Xian leave, she said the words hidden behind her with hatred: "I won't hurt her this time, aren't you dreaming of being with Cen Man?" Just tell him what kind of person you are. ”
Since Cen Man came back from the hospital, he and Li Xian have been closer than before, he will take the initiative to invite him to accompany him for a walk, and they will gradually talk to each other about the past, although there is nothing to do with love, but there is always a trace of ambiguity flowing between the two.
During the day, the two got along more and more tacitly, but late at night, when Cen Man was in a dream, she always felt that she saw Huo Li's shadow, and she wanted to try to catch it but couldn't catch anything, and she woke up with both guilt and pain.
When he was in a special education company, he accidentally saw the old calendar on the table, which still painted the days when he used to report to Huo Li, Cen Man still couldn't help but wander, thinking of the face that always put on a disdainful expression.
But for Li Xian, such progress in the relationship between the two is enough to satisfy him, but when I came to see Cen Man today, I found that her mood had obviously changed.
Cen Man no longer communicated with him as casually as an old acquaintance, but returned to the same as before, with obvious detachment in politeness.
"Can you tell me what's going on?" After Li Xian offered to accompany her to the prenatal checkup tomorrow and was refused, he finally couldn't help but ask this question.
"Cen Ting came to the apartment to look for you a few days ago." Cen Man stopped what he was doing and wrote lightly.
That morning, she was resting at home, heard an urgent knock on the door, opened the door and saw Cen Ting, who had not shown up for a long time, she was a little puzzled and surprised.
"Yo, my good sister Huo family doesn't want you anymore, why are you still shameless to have children for their family." Without Huo Li supporting Cen Man by the side, she was sarcastic without a trace of concern.
Cen Man was not as good-tempered as before, she picked up her mobile phone and told Cen Ting that if she didn't leave, she would notify the property and force her to leave.
"I know you don't welcome me, but it doesn't matter, I'm only here to find my ex-boyfriend Li Xian." She cared about Cen Cen Man's threat, and entered the door unceremoniously, and while looking around, she bit the three words of her ex-boyfriend very clearly.
"I'm afraid you don't know to explain it to you, in fact, we met in high school, and he has been in touch with me since he went to the United States, and the two of us have been together naturally, and even his tuition is paid for me by our father for my boyfriend's sake." Cen Ting sat on the sofa proudly and said to herself.
"Of course, I heard that you were also very close at that time, but it's a pity that he didn't tell you when he arrived in the United States, after all, everyone is a friend." When faced with the matter of revealing other people's old scars, she is always happy to do it.
"I'm sorry I forgot that my sister was mute, and at that time you were locked up at home and had no friends. If Li Xian needs help, he has to find a normal person, don't you say? ”
But Cen Man couldn't listen to the sarcastic words behind her, she recalled that after Li Xian had no news, she had looked for him like crazy, and she was like a lost soul during that time, and she didn't want to eat or think about it just to inquire about him.
Today she realized that her pain at that time was meaningless, it turned out that he had always been in contact with Cen Ting, but he was kept in the dark, and he was stupidly worried about him all day long.
"Okay, since the person I'm looking for today isn't there, I'll go first." She looked at Cen Man's expression and knew that her sowing discord had achieved an effect, stood up from the sofa, and left the place satisfied.
"Cen Man! Are you angry that I used my Cen family's money, or are you angry that I am with Cen Ting? Li Xian heard that it was Cen Ting who came, and Cen Man understood the reason for his indifference to himself.
"Let me tell you plainly, Cen Ting and I have never been together at all, it's all her own wishful thinking, and I did use the money, but there was a reason for it." His heart was a little impatient, and he got up to explain.
"That's all in the past, you don't have to explain." Cen Man was just a little lost, and his heart was gradually numb to the harm caused to him by those close to him.
She can't care about the past, and just laughs at the first love she has always cherished as a joke.
"No, of course I have to explain, because you don't know what kind of life I have lived since I left you." Li Xian saw that she didn't care, and it was the first time for her to speak so loudly to Cen Man, and she was very excited.
Li Xian did not have an easy time after arriving in the United States, not only had to go to school during the day, but also rushed to the hospital at night to take care of his seriously ill father, and when he first arrived in New York, he needed money everywhere, and the expenses funded by his aunt were only enough for his father's medical expenses.
So he thought of a way to squeeze out time to work, in order to earn his own living expenses, he suffered everything, brushed dishes in a small Chinese restaurant, and delivered food in the snow in the winter of New York, and he just ran around day and night.
Fortunately, because of his excellent grades, the school exempted him from tuition, but the good times did not last long, once he didn't sleep for a few days in order to work, and the next day he was exhausted and finally fell asleep on an important exam, and after that, no matter how he begged, the professor did not give him a chance to make up the exam, so he missed the scholarship.
No scholarship is equivalent to no tuition, just when he was desperate and about to think about returning to China, Father Cen didn't know how to learn about his situation, and took the initiative to contact him, saying that it was forced to come to the United States at that time and had an indirect relationship with the Cen family, and now he was in trouble and wanted to help him.
At that time, the Cen family had not yet fallen, and it was easy to sponsor a person to go to school, Li Xian thought about it for a long time, and in order for himself to stay in the United States to take care of his father, he finally bowed his head to reality and accepted the funding.
But what he never expected was that all this was Cen Ting's arrangement, it was she who knew her difficulties in the United States, and she didn't know how to persuade Cen Father to fund herself for various reasons.
"Do you know how I survived in the United States, it all depends on this! Day and night, I survived by thinking about you. He went into his room, opened the suitcase, and carefully took out a small wooden box from the deepest part.
Cen Man opened the old-looking box, and inside was stacks of well-preserved letters, all of which he had written to him from high school to college.
Pressed at the bottom of the box is a photo of her and Li Xian, the corners of the photo have been hairy, and the color has faded a lot, as if the person who has been saved often flips through it.
In the photo, the 18-year-old leaned her head on Li Xian's shoulder, and the two of them smiled so brightly together.
She silently put away the letters and photos, and in the face of this already lost feeling, Cen Man didn't know how to respond.
"If I had known that this grant was related to Cen Ting, I would not have accepted it." Li Xian looked at her with a look of regret and said.
"Xiaoman, what I have done to you during this time, you should also understand, I have only you in my heart from beginning to end." Believing that he had done his best for this affection during this time, he sighed softly, closed the door and left the apartment.
Cen Man lingered at the door for a while, but returned to the room, she stood in front of the window and looked at Li Xian's shadow as she walked farther and farther, feeling a little melancholy in her heart, and began to wonder if she shouldn't treat him like this.
