Chapter 163: Resentment Breeds
In the past, Zhong Qing had the yearning of a little girl, thinking that love was the appearance of a fairytale prince and princess; Now Zhong Qing is more willing to believe in the true feelings of holding the hand of the son and growing old with the son after the tribulation.
She and Gu Xiu were once full of scars, deceived by love, and tortured by fate, but they were like two magnets that would attract each other, knowing at a glance that each other was each other's destiny, even misunderstanding and separation could not destroy the love between them.
Gu Xiu and Zhong Qing both had thorns on their bodies, which was a disguise for them to protect themselves from being injured again, but only when they met each other, they would take the initiative to remove the thorns on their bodies and hug each other without reservation.
After being reborn, Zhong Qing took every step of the way, wanting to control the occurrence and progress of everything, but meeting Gu Xiu was something she couldn't predict, she never thought that she would fall into it.
But love was so unexpected at the beginning, Gu Xiu's name was already engraved in Zhong Qing's blood and bones, she had thought about escaping, but she couldn't deceive her heart.
Zhong Qing had a dream, in the dream she saw herself three years ago, the self who was kneeling on the ground with a knife in her heart, she was covered in blood, as if she was tortured and could not be freed, Zhong Qing walked to her side, and the self of the year took Zhong Qing's hand, and the two of them pulled out the knife inserted in the chest.
Bright red blood spurted out of her heart, and a piece of red appeared in Zhong Qing's sight, she hugged her past self, looked at her whole body covered in blood and finally closed her eyes, Zhong Qing woke up from her dream in an instant.
The morning sun shone on the hotel room, Zhong Qing was lying on the soft big bed, the quilt was covering her body, and the mess in the room seemed to remind her and Gu Xiu how crazy they were last night.
Zhong Qing wanted to get up, but found that her back hurt unbearably, she finally got out of bed wrapped in the quilt, but found that her clothes had been torn, she covered her face and sat on the carpet, what was the matter.
The time on the mobile phone had passed ten o'clock, Gu Xiu was not in the room, Zhong Qing sat on the carpet and was in a daze for a while, just about to find a way to get the waiter to buy a suitable clothes to come back, but heard the hotel door being opened, and Gu Xiu walked in with breakfast.
"Can you get out of bed?"
Seeing Gu Xiu's meaningful smile, Zhong Qing blushed.
"Y-You're not gone yet?"
"Let's go? Why should I go? Gu Xiu put breakfast on the table, then bent down and hugged Zhong Qing to the dining table, and said, "Don't you want to be responsible for what happened last night?" ”
Zhong Qing remembered that she was so ...... last night Indulge, I really can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into. I don't know how long they tossed, many times Zhong Qing fainted.
"Aren't you going back to the company?" Zhong Qing said: "It's almost noon, if we don't go back......"
"With Wei Lan here, don't worry." Gu Xiu sat next to Zhong Qing and put the cut steak into her mouth, Zhong Qing was very unaccustomed to being taken care of like this, today's Gu Xiu was gentle and just like before, she was a little uncomfortable.
Thinking of himself who fell in a pool of blood in his dream, Zhong Qing subconsciously grabbed Gu Xiu's hand.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't believe it." Zhong Qing smiled, and after letting go of Gu Xiu's hand, he was caught by Gu Xiu again.
"No matter what happens in the future, I'm here." Gu Xiu said: "Believe me, I will definitely protect you this time." ”
Zhong Qing nodded: "I don't need anyone to protect me, Gu Xiu, I can take care of myself." But this time I can assure you that I will never leave you again. ”
Gu Xiu had been waiting for this sentence for three years. No one knows how he has come over in the past three years, there is no one else around him except Wei Lan, there is no Zhong Qing and no mother, everything that Gu Xiu has worked hard for is gone, and only revenge is spurring him forward.
He once thought that he would be alone in the rest of his life, but he didn't expect that God would be willing to favor him again and give him a chance to be reborn.
At the moment of hugging Zhong Qing, Gu Xiu felt that he was a flesh and blood person, everything he did in the past was meaningless except revenge, and now he is willing to be a better version of himself for Zhong Qing.
At the same time, in the Xu family's villa. Xu Ruo stood up straight under Fang Zuo's support, Fang Zuo took a few steps back, Xu Jie saw Xu Ruo walking towards him step by step, although the pace was a little strange, but it was beyond Xu Jie's imagination.
"You ......"
"Dad, I'm sorry I hid it from you before." Xu Ruodao: "In fact, I have been doing rehabilitation treatment abroad in the past few years, as you can see, now my leg has been half better. ”
Although his walking posture is a little unstable, Xu Ruo can now get out of the wheelchair, and as long as the follow-up rehabilitation treatment is appropriate, he can live like a normal person.
For Xu Jie, who is nearly sixty years old, this is simply great news, he was in tears, stood up and hugged Xu Ruo, and patted him on the back.
This moment is far more important to Xu Jie than everything, how can he blame Xu Ruo for concealing it? The son has endured so much pain that ordinary people can't accept, and now that he has recovered, it is too late for Xu Jie to be happy.
"Good! Good! Good! Xu Jie said three "good" in a row, now no words can describe his excitement and joy, his eyes that had been dull for a long time finally lit up, Xu Ruo looked at his excited father, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile.
Xu Zhiyan on the second floor looked at Xu Ruo who stood up, and his hand next to the railing clenched into a fist, since Xu Ruo confessed his current situation to his father, then he must have also told Zhong Qing.
"Have you been discovered?" Xu Zhiyan dragged Xu Ruo outside and asked, "Does Zhong Qing know anything about your leg?" What did you tell her? ”
"She was the one who found out I was hiding it first." Xu Ruo looked at his legs and said, "I've already told her everything." ”
"You're crazy! We said we were going to hide it! Xu Zhiyan roared at Xu Ruo: "Didn't you say that you would take Zhong Qing away?" You tell her the truth now, and she won't go with you again! ”
"I didn't want to take her away again." Xu Ruo took a deep breath and said to Xu Zhiyan: "Zhong Qing doesn't like me, even if I tried my best to deceive her liking, if that's the case, I'd rather let it go." ”
"Let go? How can you say it so simply! You like her, don't you? If you like her, you have to get her by any means! I've got you covered! I will put pressure on Gu Xiu to kick Zhong Qing out of the company first, and then you take her away......"
Xu Ruo couldn't bear to interrupt Xu Zhiyan: "Sister, haven't you made enough trouble?" Even if you drive Zhong Qing away, Gu Xiu won't like you, you are deceiving yourself by doing this now! ”
"Why do you teach me! Didn't you also pretend for three years? Xu Zhiyan had lost her mind, she pointed at Xu Ruo's nose and scolded: "You don't understand at all, I have liked Gu Xiu for so many years, if there is no Zhong Qing, how can he not want to look at me!" ”
"It's all Zhong Qing! It's all Zhong Qing's fault! It was she who deceived Gu Xiu, I am the one who loves Gu Xiu the most, she doesn't deserve to stay by Gu Xiu's side at all! Xu Zhiyan took a big breath, she glared at Xu Ruo, and said, "Forget it, if you want to leave, I will have other ways to deal with her!" ”
Xu Ruo wanted to hold Xu Zhiyan: "Sister......"
"Don't call me sister, I don't have a brother like you!" Xu Zhiyan shook off Xu Ruo's hand and left without looking back.
So far, Xu Zhiyan has imposed all her hatred on Zhong Qing, in fact, in the final analysis, what she hates the most is the self who fell in love with Gu Xiu back then, at that time they were in the same university abroad, Xu Zhiyan thought that being friends with Gu Xiu would become lovers after a long time, but Gu Xiu only regarded her as a friend from beginning to end.
Back then, Xu Ruo heard about Gu Xiu's experience in China abroad, but she couldn't return to China immediately when she faced academic problems, and later she heard that Gu Xiu was surrounded by women, and she knew that Gu Xiu was protecting himself.
But Xu Zhiyan would never have thought that Gu Xiu would like Zhong Qing.
On the one hand, the man she loves deeply, and on the other hand, she is the "sister" who grew up with her, Xu Zhiyan doesn't know when she forgot to compete fairly with Zhong Qing, maybe when she saw Gu Xiu's eyes looking at Zhong Qing, she knew that she couldn't compete with Zhong Qing, right?
How could she not know that Gu Xiu was not self in her heart? But the obsession has taken root in her heart, and she has wanted to uproot Gu Xiu from the bottom of her heart countless times over the years, but in the end, it is still herself who hurts.
If you want to forget the heartache that you can't forget, who can understand?
Xu Zhiyan's bedside still has a photo of herself and Gu Xiu when she was in school, a photo of many people together, but she cut herself and Gu Xiu out separately and put it in the frame, maybe since then she has decided that Gu Xiu is her own.
Xu Zhiyan hugged the photo frame and looked at Gu Xiu, who used to smile brightly, she knew that she shouldn't be obsessed, but it had come to this, and she couldn't turn back.
"Ahh
On the top floor of Y-ing Group, Wei Lan suddenly sneezed, the work around him was stacked in three stacks, Zhong Qing's desk opposite and Gu Xiu's office were empty, he called Gu Xiu and Zhong Qing respectively, but the two of them didn't know whether to talk about it or what, no one answered at all.
Wei Lan had gone from being unacceptable at the beginning to giving up resistance later, and his expression was numb as he watched the heads of various departments put the documents to be reviewed in front of him.
In the end, Wei Lan fell to his work position and rolled his eyes, even if he knew how to do the doppelganger technique, he couldn't handle so many things by himself! Obviously, Gu Xiu didn't say overtime pay when he took Zhong Qing away yesterday, why should he do all the work alone!
"Buzz—buzz—"
Suddenly, at this time, Wei Lan received a text message, the number was unfamiliar, he took the phone and opened it, there were only seven simple words in it - I want to meet you.
