Chapter 42: Cruel Care
When the words fell, he was still greeted with that indifferent look, sour and painful, her heart still stood firm for that man, even though he hurt her in every way.
Ling Xue withdrew from his arms, reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her eyes finally fell on his slightly lost face, the man's face overlapped, she seemed to see the man's face.
She paused: "Mayor Han, thank you...... We are not suitable, a woman like me does not deserve such ...... you"
whispered, but smiled sadly.
The heart that rose because she smiled at him fell to the original point again, and while Han Shikun's heart was bitter, he heard her voice overflowing with pain: "He was once framed and imprisoned, and when he was at his most helpless and low point, I beat his child ruthlessly despite his mother's bitter pleading, and then his mother was in a car accident and died on the spot!" β
Han Shikun looked at her in a daze: "......"
Ling Xue looked away, it was undeniable that she didn't want to drag him down anymore, she could only use this trick to "drive away" such an excellent man.
Ling Xue covered her eyes lightly, her heart was full of bitterness, and she said, "Didn't you expect me to be such a person?" β
She whispered, "But that's what I am...... He scolded me for being a watery poplar, and it was not an exaggeration to see the wind and rudder......"
Han Shikun's eyes narrowed, noticing her deliberately avoiding gaze and evasive look, he thought for a moment, and his lips overflowed with a deep voice: "You lie again!." β
As soon as the words were broken, Ling Xue wanted to flee in a hurry, but she pushed him away and got up: "Mayor Han, I owe you money, I will pay it back as soon as possible...... But you don't have to put your mind to me anymore. β
She smiled self-deprecatingly: "I'm not trying to get away with it, I just think you're a good person, I don't want to continue to lie to you......"
The moment she turned around, she was unexpectedly stopped by him, Han Shikun held her arm and blurted out: "Ling Xue!" β
She broke free of her wrist and squeezed out two firm words: "Goodbye!" β
Don't bother with it, afraid that he will see through her mind.
Han Shikun looked at the soft side face with a little sadness in his heart, she was held in his hand, unwilling to continue to ask, how could he not understand her thoughts?
In the end, she was only allowed to push his hand away, staring at her slender back and walking away......
β¦β¦
Qin Lang really fulfilled his promise and didn't want to see her again, and a month passed, and he never appeared in front of her again.
But Ling Xue could see him every day.
On the TV screen, in the mobile phone entertainment express, one after another stars who have captivated the country and the city are holding him and smiling at the camera.
The headlines of various entertainment media are overwhelming with such and such stars, such and such Internet celebrities, such and such supermodels and Qin Lang, the president of Qin's family, spending a good night together......
And the biggest hit in the past few days is: Jiangnan Chen Group and Qin's president are close to each other, and Chen Wanying, the daughter of Chen's chairman, and Qin's president are about to have a good time.
"I mean, is this really the end of it?" Xu Can gnawed on the big apple and pushed the mobile phone screen to her, "Look, how sweet Chen Wanying's smile is...... Also, she is the niece of the aunt and wife of the Qin family, and her father is the chairman, this identity is indeed quite compatible with Qin Lang......"
Although Ling Xue's eyes were not shocked, the place where her heart was almost empty seemed to be unable to be filled, and even her breathing was a little blocked.
"Hey, you're talking?" Xu Can clicked and gnawed on the apple, staring at her with wide eyes, ignoring the pain in Ling Xue's heart, and jokingly: "Why don't you make a scene with a big belly when they get engaged?" β
Ling Xue frowned and was slightly angry: "Cancan, are you joking like this?" β
Xu Can glanced at her: "Sad, right?" I said that you are really, Mayor Han is so affectionate, he can't give you calls and text messages at every turn, you are stunned and ignore others, okay, make such a good man sad in the mountains and old forests, what will you do to anger that Qin beast......"
"I don't want to be angry with anyone, and I don't want to drag others down, I just want to live alone with the baby, and when the baby is born, I will take him to Haicheng with you......"
Haicheng is Xu Can's hometown, they have planned it in the past few days, and after the fetus is stable, they will go to Haicheng to develop together.
Xu Can took a deep breath: "Hey, I think you are relying on me......"
When the words fell, the room remembered an abrupt mobile phone ringtone.
"Hello?" As soon as the phone was connected, there was a faint sadness on the other end: "Third Miss, the third aunt is gone......"
Ling Xue was stunned: "You...... What do you say? β
Who did he say was gone? She went to visit her mother in the morning, why did she leave?
Is it waking up and gone? Or is that one gone?
"What's wrong with my mom?" She didn't believe it, her mouth kept murmuring, and her voice trembled slightly: "The third aunt is gone, you mourn, we have already notified the second young master,"
The blood on Ling Xue's face faded little by little, her hand grasped the handrail, her muscles jumped, and she couldn't even say a word.
"Xiaoxue...... Xiaoxue ......" Xu Can beside her supported her, and she came back to her senses in a daze: "Go to the sanatorium......"
Two days later, the weather was overcast and the sky was gray, and by the time they arrived at the cemetery, it was already drizzling. After all, it was the third aunt of the Qin family who died, and the cemetery was surrounded by reporters for hundreds of miles.
The wind in the cemetery was gusting, and the people present were all dressed in black and solemn, holding black umbrellas, with solemn and sad faces, Ling Xue had a pale face, wearing a black suit, and went to the central area of the tombstone with Xu Can's support.
Standing in front of the tombstone, his eyes inadvertently turned to the man next to him, he was still neatly dressed, slim black suit, solemn and solemn, the woman in a black skirt standing next to him was none other than Chen Wanying.
Qin Lang's fiancΓ©e, Chen Wanying, who has been widely exposed by the media in the past few days.
She was petite and delicate, with a ruddy complexion, and she used to stand beside him, like a match, envious of others.
Ling Xue stared at the tombstone quietly like a stone statue, her whole body seemed to be condensed, and she unconsciously clenched her fingers, clenching them tighter and tighter, until her nails pierced deep into her flesh, and at that moment, all her dreams disappeared in an instant, and her heart ached faintly.
Qin Lang also saw her, and unconsciously his eyes froze, and his jaw tightened coldly in an instant, without any expression, and he did not shy away from her gaze, such a detached gaze, as if he was looking at a stranger.
Ling Xue lost her mind for a moment, walked to the tombstone, and squatted down with tears in her eyes, her mother was gone, and she left without even seeing the last side, and her heart hurt fiercely......
The whole farewell ceremony was compact and orderly, lasting an hour.
Before leaving, Ling Xue leaned against the tombstone, holding the ground with her hands, and after a period of silence, she suddenly heard a painful sound mixed with the yin wind.
"Mom...... Mom, Mommy......"
Ling Xue didn't know who else she could rely on now, and who else she could find to cry.
In the tombstone, the mother is smiling, but she can't hear a word from her daughter, even though she is a philistine, dislikes the poor and loves the rich, but she is also the mother who gave birth to her and raised her.
In the end, it was Xu Can who picked Ling Xue up, and she raised her eyes to see Qin Lang, separated by rain and fog.
Just as they turned around to leave, a man's cold voice came from behind them: "Wait a minute! β
Ling Xue raised her gaze to look at him and asked softly, "What else is going on?" β
Qin Lang stepped forward and raised his hand to signal ahead.
Soon, many reporters poured in from all directions, like a rushing tide, drowning all around.
"My little mother passed away unexpectedly, and I am very sad, so I will rest her in the ancestral grave of the Qin family today......"
The man's voice was flat, and the reporter raised his camera and kept taking pictures......
He suddenly took Ling Xue's hand and turned his eyes to look at her, his expression was not shocked, but the words he said made her feel like she had been struck by lightning; "This is my third sister, who has followed my little mother since she was a child and remarried to our Qin family......"
Hearing this, even in front of her mother's grave, Ling Xue felt a chill in her back at this moment.
Qin Lang's thin lips moved, facing the camera, like a good brother: "Today I solemnly announce in front of everyone that Ling Xue will always be my Qin Lang's sister, and I will take her back to the Qin family, protect her, and cherish her until I look at her ......"
Speaking of this, the corners of his cold mouth squeezed out an inexplicable smile, and he said to Ling Xue, "Until I see her get married......"
Sighing suddenly, everyone's praise for the man, and the envy of Ling Xue should be in the sound of the camera's flash, like a thunderclap of her, paused there.
His eternal sister......
Take her back to Qin's house......
Watching her get married......
At this moment, she trembled suddenly, her chest seemed to be poked hard, and there was a faint pain.
Of course she knew his purpose, and from this day forward they were just brother and sister...... Whether he takes care of her sincerely or not, it is the care of his brother for his sister, and he has to use this cruel way to slap her around.
In short, for her to watch the intimacy between him and Chen Wanying throughout the whole process, and watch them get married and have children, it is a thousand times more painful than dismantling her into eight pieces.
This cruel care she doesn't need!
Ling Xue's breathing became heavy, watching her fingers clenched into a ball, the coolness in her heart swallowing up the residual temperature in her body little by little. "I won't go back to the Qin family, I don't want your care!" β
She looked up at him, her voice low and determined.
The corners of Qin Lang's mouth hooked, without a trace of annoyance, but put on a broad and tolerant mind: "Xiaoxue, don't be willful...... Before she died, my mother personally grabbed my hand and entrusted you to my care, do you want my mother to die without turning a blind eye? β¦β¦β
The people in front of him were talking again, and the general meaning was that Ling Xue didn't know how to cherish, was willful, and so on......
More and more chattering voices swept past her ears in the growing wind, Ling Xue clutched her colicing chest, the tip of her nose was unbearably sore, she knew that the care in his mouth was a great irony.
Now he was only ruthless to her, and when she thought of this, she clenched her white fingers sadly, and smiled bitterly in embarrassment: "I don't need ...... Thank you second brother......"
After that, she wanted to leave the gloomy cemetery, the air that suffocated her.
"Cancan...... Let's go! Ling Xue's eyes were slightly red and turned to Xu Can beside her.
"Third sister, don't forget, my mother is now buried on the ancestral grave of the Qin family, and the Qin family is your home!" The man's false whisper floated again.
