Chapter 198: Father and Daughter Talk
Chu Shuzhi didn't expect Zhong Nian to say such a thing, although she saw her own daughter being tortured like this by Gu Zihan, and hated him so much that the roots of her teeth itched, but the current Zhong family is not as good as before, the Zhong Group is no longer as brilliant as it used to be, and the four major families no longer exist, after Zhong Nian was hospitalized before, Zhong Jingtian went to the Gu family to find Gu Guosheng, but the latter's reply to Zhong Jingtian was that he couldn't control Gu Zihan.
Zhong Jingtian didn't want to go directly to the Gu Group to confront Gu Zihan, but Gu Zihan blocked people out of the door and didn't see Zhong Jingtian at all.
"Gu Zihan is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust." Zhong Nian's heart was full of hatred, thinking of the end of everything she had paid for Gu Zihan, she was unwilling.
Gu Xiu was not ready to cooperate with Zhong Nian, a woman with a monstrous hatred who might do something was the worst uncontrollable factor, not to mention that Zhong Nian had not forgotten Gu Zihan in her heart, and then thought about what she had done, how could Gu Xiu believe her?
"I can really help you!" Zhong Nian was anxious to prove his usefulness: "When Gu Zihan worked under Wei Qiushan, I also helped, I probably know the operation mode of Wei Qiushan's company, Gu Zihan must have learned a lot." ”
Gu Xiu didn't say anything, just called the nurse in.
"Get these two ladies out." Gu Xiu said: "I'm tired, and now I want to sleep for a while." ”
The nurse nodded and politely took Chu Shuzhi and Zhong Nian out, Zhong Nian was unwilling to say something to Gu Xiu, but the latter didn't listen, but closed his eyes.
In the café near the hospital, Zhong Qing and Zhong Jingtian sat opposite each other, they hadn't seen Zhong Qing for a long time, and even the development of her studio was developed by Zhong Jingtian from TV.
It's not that Zhong Qing refuses to tell Zhong Jingtian, but Zhong Jingtian has always been obsessed with her relationship with Gu Xiu, and Zhong Qing doesn't know how to talk to him.
"Are you still with Gu Xiu?"
Zhong Qing nodded.
Zhong Jingtian sighed and said, "No matter how I stopped it back then, you girl had to be with him, what happened later?" Why don't you have a long memory, do you know that anyone who gets close to him will have an accident! ”
Zhong Qing put down the coffee, her eyes were clear and her eyes were firm, she didn't tell Zhong Jingtian how good Gu Xiu was, because she knew that her father was looking at Gu Xiu with colored glasses now, no matter how much she bothered, her father would not believe herself.
"With him, you'll regret it sooner or later. Gu Xiu has done so many hurtful things! How could our family have become like this without him! ”
"If I could live again, I would rather the first person I fell in love with was Gu Xiu." Zhong Qing said: "Dad, it's true that Gu Xiu split the four major families, but even without him, how long do you think the so-called family in the past can last?" Back then, Gu Guosheng connived at Gu Zihan, and the Gu Xiu family was ruined, if he didn't work hard to hold on, he would now have become a loser for Gu Zihan to show off his victory. ”
"What's more, our family has become like this now, you actually know very well that it is not Gu Xiu's fault. Dad, you can't use the same old ways to deal with the problems of the present. ”
Zhong Qing looked at this man with gray temples who was more than half a hundred years old, and felt sad, she still remembered that she was this man before she was reborn, and believed Zhong Nian's words and thought that she was worried about the company, not only abandoned herself but also announced to the public that she did not have her own daughter, which was always a pimple in Zhong Qing's heart.
Now that Zhong Jingtian still wants to control Zhong Qing's life as before, how can Zhong Qing agree? Even under the banner of a father for the good of his daughter, he can't change Zhong Qing's decision.
In fact, in the past few years, Zhong Jingtian can also feel Zhong Qing's estrangement, as if all the changes started from the day Gu Zihan announced his engagement to Zhong Nian, Zhong Qing, who was obedient and well-behaved in the past, seemed to be a different person, not only disobeying himself everywhere, but also confronting Chu Shuzhi Zhong Nian, and finally left home.
Zhong Jingtian wanted to ask Zhong Qing what he had experienced countless times, but he swallowed back half of the words in his mouth.
"How good our family was in the past, you and Xiao Nian are the most beautiful sisters, and everyone likes you wherever you go." Zhong Jingtian recalled the past and was full of emotion, he said: "How could you suddenly become like this, alas, ......"
"It's all because of Gu Xiu's appearance, so everything has changed. He's a scourge, and I should have stopped you from touching it back then! Xiaoqing, you are obedient, leave that man, Gu Xiu is really dangerous, Dad swears, Dad will definitely find you a better and more suitable person for you! ”
Zhong Qing shook his head, smiled, and said, "Maybe from the beginning, you chose Chu Shuzhi to abandon your mother, and it was destined to be such a result. ”
Zhong Jingtian thought that he had handled everything and hid the derailment of the year seamlessly, in fact, Zhong Qing saw his mother hiding in the room crying alone when he was very young, his mother was depressed and finally died of illness, and his father quickly brought his lover and lover's daughter back home, Zhong Qing didn't understand when he was a child, but the more he grew up, the more he saw it.
Zhong Jingtian's face turned pale: "You, are you blaming me?" ”
"No, I'm just stating the facts." Zhong Qing said: "Dad, I respected your decision back then, and I thought that the four of them could get along peacefully or even happily, but when I found out that everything was an illusion, how could I continue to pretend?" ”
"Do you know why Zhong Nian hates me to the bone? Because the title she heard the most from childhood to adulthood was 'illegitimate daughter', because you didn't register with Chu Shuzhi, she couldn't enter the Zhong family's household register, even if you told everyone that she was your daughter, it still couldn't change the facts. ”
"Zhong Nian hates me, because she has not been objectively evaluated by the outside world since she was a child, she dated Gu Zihan to get revenge on me, everything she did was just to prove that she could be the same as me."
This was the first time Zhong Jingtian heard these words, and in addition to being shocked, all kinds of emotions surged in his heart, he never knew that Zhong Nian had experienced that kind of thing, he thought everything was perfect......
"A lot of things are not that you don't know, it's that you don't want to know."
Zhong Qing knows his father too well, he wants to whitewash the peace with the calm on the surface, thinking that he can cover up everything, thinking that what doesn't happen is not a problem, but he didn't think about solving it. Chu Shuzhi has stayed by her father's side without a name or a point over the years, even if she is harsh and mean to herself, it is also for her daughter's future outlet.
"I ...... I'm sorry for your mom, and I'm sorry for you. Zhong Jingtian sighed: "So I want to leave my wife's position to your mother forever, I was a lover with Chu Shuzhi back then, I thought about it...... It can go on like this. ”
In the final analysis, Zhong Jingtian is just a selfish man.
He thought he was doing the right thing, thinking that he could ignore the so-called hidden dangers after whitewashing the peace, but his decision ultimately hurt many people.
Now he still wants to tie up Zhong Qing in the same way, so that Zhong Qing can live according to his plan and arrangement, but Zhong Qing did not succumb.
Back then, Zhong Jingtian was precisely because he couldn't control Zhong Qing, so he was angry and stopped her from leaving, kept silent about Gu Zihan's plan, and even blamed Gu Xiu for messing up the four major families after Gu Xiu turned the tables.
And now Zhong Qing's words are like giving Zhong Jingtian a resounding slap in the face.
"Dad, I don't interfere with any of your decisions, only this time, I hope you can respect my choice."
Zhong Jingtian looked at Zhong Qing blankly, how could the daughter in front of him, who he had seen since childhood, suddenly become a different person? Zhong Jingtian's heart was filled with sadness, and he closed his eyes in pain.
Zhong Qing felt uncomfortable when she saw her father so sad, but she didn't say anything, left the money for the coffee and got up to leave.
Coming out of the coffee shop, Zhong Qing took a deep breath, she knew that what she said today was a tear with her father, and she also spit out the grievances she had suffered over the years.
Zhong Qing returned to Gu Xiu's hospital room, saw Gu Xiu resting with his eyes closed against the head of the bed, slowed his steps, covered the quilt for him, and then gently leaned his head on his shoulder.
Gu Xiu opened his eyes: "You're back?" ”
"Yes." Zhong Qing said sullenly: "After talking to my dad for a while, I think I seem to have gone too far." Thinking of her father's sad expression, Zhong Qing couldn't help but blame herself, in fact, she could rot those words in her stomach, but Zhong Jingtian was pressing step by step, and she could only get out in this way.
"Gu Xiu."
"Huh?"
"If we do get married, will you also get tired of me one day and go out to find another woman?"
Gu Xiu pinched Zhong Qing's face and said, "What are you afraid of?" ”
"Mom knew about the relationship between my father and Chu Shuzhi back then, and during the time when she was sick, my father rarely appeared." At that time, Zhong Qing was only six or seven years old, which was the age of ignorance, she only remembered that her mother was getting weaker and weaker in the hospital bed, but her father rarely showed up.
Does a father love a mother? If he loves, why does he want to find a lover, if he doesn't love, why does he refuse to register with Chu Shuzhi after his mother's death, is his father nostalgic for his mother, or is he guilty? Zhong Qing couldn't think of a result after thinking about it, she sniffed and rubbed Gu Xiu's shoulder forward.
"I won't hurt you, and I won't abandon you." Gu Xiu comforted softly: "You are the one I waited for three years to come back, how could I give up on you?" ”
"If I really do something sorry for you, I don't need you to do it, I will finish myself myself."
Zhong Qing covered his mouth: "Don't talk nonsense!" ”
Gu Xiu smiled, and slowly raised his arm to hug Zhong Qing, who was lying on his chest, worried that Gu Xiu's back would hurt and she kept holding her shoulders to prevent Gu Xiu from being stressed.
"Sleep with me for a while." Gu Xiu was still very weak, and after saying this to Zhong Qing, he slowly closed his eyes, and in the sound of Gu Xiu's even breathing, Zhong Qing grabbed the corner of his clothes.
