Text Chapter 316 Unworthy
Cheng Ruoke saw that on Zhan Leyan's temples, the blood vessels were beating vigorously, which was what would happen when he strongly suppressed his emotions.
She didn't speak, she didn't even look into Zhan Leyan's eyes.
She was afraid that she would be held by those eyes, because even if she didn't have to look at them, Cheng Ruoke knew that those eyes were full of love.
Eric had intervened, and without the lawyer Eric had sent, Zhan Leyan would not have been saved.
But this also means that whether he stays in prison or is acquitted, he will not be able to return to Zhan Leyan.
She promised Eric that she would stay with him, and she couldn't break her promise.
Life in the detention center was much better than Cheng Ruoke had imagined, because she had not yet been convicted and her treatment had not been sent to prison.
Therefore, the living conditions and treatment are much better than those of Zhan Leyan.
It's just that she was locked up in a small room that could only accommodate one person, with a small window in the high wall, the bed was soft and clean, and the meals were brought regularly.
When she was told by the police that someone was visiting, she thought it was Zhan Le's words.
But it was Eric.
"Thank you." Cheng Ruoke's first words when they met were to thank him.
Eric looked at Cheng Ruoke, who was sitting palely opposite, and his heart didn't hurt.
"Is it worth it?" He asked.
Cheng Ruoke smiled and nodded.
"It's worth it." She said softly.
"What the hell is he worthy?" Eric was naturally unconvinced.
"Where am I worthy of you doing this for me?" Cheng Ruoke asked rhetorically.
Eric froze, he pulled out a cigarette and lit it, not speaking for a while.
"I'm going to get you out, it's not where you're supposed to be, it's going to ruin you." He finished a cigarette and got up to leave.
"You saved him, I will keep my promise and stay with you, but, please don't expect too much from me, after all, I am still the same me."
Eric threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on it, and left without looking back.
Since that day, no one has visited her, except for the person who claimed to be her lawyer who had appeared in court earlier.
She guessed that the reason why Zhan Leyan didn't come was that the prosecution didn't allow it, or maybe Eric was obstructed.
But Cheng Ruoke didn't care, on the contrary, she took the current loneliness as an opportunity.
An opportunity for her to stop and reorganize her life.
When she was sleepless at night, she looked through the small window, looking at the starry sky and the moon that occasionally passed by the window, and began to sort out the things she could remember.
She found some very subtle things, such as when she was a child, her mother would suddenly pick her up from school in a very anxious way, take her to a foreign country or a far away place, and after a while she would send her back as if nothing had happened, and even sometimes she was sleeping, and when she woke up, she found that she had changed places, and now that she thinks about it, maybe her biological parents are looking for her, and her adoptive mother did it in order to hide her.
She also remembered that Cheng Xu once beat her adoptive mother Su Rou when she returned home drunk and scolded her for being a chicken that couldn't lay eggs.
Cheng Ruoke, who was still young at the time, hugged her mother's trembling body and asked if her father wanted a younger brother.
How could she have thought that she was not biological at that time!
She remembered that Cheng Xu and Su Rou had taken her to a dinner party in high society, which was a golf course, and Cheng Xu deliberately asked her to perform and play the piano in front of everyone for those who looked rich.
At that time, among the children of those rich families, there were Ling Fan, Chi Cheng, and Zhan Leyan.
However, although she was praised by everyone, Cheng Xu did not seem very happy.
Now that I think about it, maybe Cheng Xu wants his daughter, who looks good, to be taken by the little master of which family, to set a baby kiss or something, and to climb relatives with the upper class.
The adoptive mother died of depression, Cheng Ruoke knew that it was because Cheng Xu was raising Li Meiqin and Li Xiaoqing outside, but she was young at the time, and she only remembered that Su Rou took her, sat in a taxi, and followed Cheng Xu's car all the way to a residential building in the suburbs.
At that time, Cheng Ruoke was very jealous, and she didn't understand why other children called their fathers and called them fathers.
When she wanted to get out of the car to get her father back, she was caught by Su Rou.
She returned home and locked herself in her room for two whole days, Cheng Ruoke was very hungry, so she found some food in the kitchen, and the rest of the time was to sit at the door of Su Rou's room and wait for her to come out.
Until Cheng Xu came back.
Cheng Ruoke asked him why he had other children.
Su Rou walked out and didn't quarrel with Cheng Xu, and didn't even mention the incident, but as usual, she asked him if he had dinner, and she did it.
But from that day on, Su Rou became thinner and thinner day by day, until when she died, she almost only had more than eighty pounds left.
When she was dying, she once held Cheng Ruoke's hand and said sorry many times.
Cheng Ruoke only remembered that his tears were about to dry up.
Maybe it's because of guilt, Cheng Xu treated her well in the next few years, but since she chose the design major in her assertions, Cheng Xu has never treated her like before.
Li Meiqin and Li Xiaoqing were taken to the Cheng family in a grand manner, and she became a dispensable outsider.
Until she was used for trading and married into the Zhan family.
On that morning that completely changed Cheng Ruoke's trajectory, Cheng Ruoke was kidnapped early in the morning and arrived at the wedding scene.
and a man who had never met but thundered, said wedding vows, exchanged wedding rings, and was led by him and lived in their home.
Cheng Ruoke counted the limited stars that could be seen from the window, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Perhaps, this is their fate.
So it just so happened that her heart matched him, so coincidentally, in this marriage with no emotional foundation, they married first and then fell in love.
Love came so suddenly and unexpectedly, Cheng Ruoke felt that he was captured by Zhan Leyan before he even had time to resist.
Although there are many misunderstandings and obstacles between them, they love each other so passionately.
This room was slightly chilly, and Cheng Ruoke wrapped the quilt tightly and hugged his body tightly.
She was a little worried, but after thinking about it, it doesn't matter, Zhan Leyan has already gone out, and he will take care of their son.
Thinking of this, she closed her eyes steadily and fell asleep peacefully.
Fang Yue lived across the wall from Cheng Ruoke, and at this time, she knelt on the bed, looking at the same sky outside the window of the same size as Cheng Ruoke.
The faint light that came in from outside hit her face, and if anyone saw Fang Yue at this time, they would definitely be frightened.
Her face was as hideous as a ghost, and she clawed at her hair and whimpered lowly.
"I'm going to kill you...... Kill you all! Cheng Ruoke...... Zhan Leyan......"
She was obsessed, repeating the words over and over again.
The patrolling policeman passed by and shone a flashlight on Fang Yue on the bed from the small window on the door.
"Hey! Why don't you sleep yet? "The police knocked on the iron door with electric batons.
As if he had been woken up from a nightmare, Fang Yue looked around, and then turned his head to look in the direction of the door.
Then he lay down slowly and wrapped himself tightly in the quilt.
"One day, I want you to pay for my suffering!"
Zhan Leyan asked to see Cheng Ruoke many times, but was refused, and no one was allowed to see the suspect except the lawyer.
Zhan Leyan and Lin Sheng appeared at the door of the waiting room again and again, but they never succeeded in seeing Cheng Ruoke.
He was so anxious that he didn't know what Cheng Ruoke was doing inside.
It wasn't until Zhan Yiyang found out that the lawyer who helped Cheng Ruoke that day was the legal counsel of Ruijin Company.
"In other words, Ruoruo's lawyer is Eric's man?" Zhan Leyan asked with a frown.
Zhan Yiyang nodded.
"If I'm not mistaken, it must be Cheng Ruoke who begged Eric to save you. So I guess Eric will definitely get Cheng Ruoke out of it. ”
Although this sounds like good news, Zhan Leyan has a heavy heart.
Ruoruo went to Eric to save him.
So why did Eric promise her?
There must be a condition, and what is this condition?
Zhan Leyan decided to give up meeting Cheng Ruoke for the time being, and instead went to visit Eric.
He personally went to Ruijin to look for Eric, but was told that he needed to wait, and that he was in a meeting.
So he waited from morning to afternoon, and then to dusk.
Eric finally appeared.
Zhan Leyan stood up, buttoned up his suit, and politely stretched out his hand to Eric.
The two men shook hands politely, like business partners, with temptation and vigilance.
"Sorry, I waited." Although Eric said this, there was no apology on his face.
Rather, with a hint of deliberate pleasure.
Zhanle didn't see it, and since the moment he was told that he needed to wait, he knew that he was destined to face Eric with a low profile today.
It doesn't matter, he can endure it, it's nothing compared to what Ruoruo did for him.
"Soon." Zhan Leyan said.
The secretary opened the door and invited the two of them in, bringing in two cups of coffee by the way.
"You know why I'm here." Zhan Le Yan got straight to the point, "Ruoruo's lawyer is your person?" ”
Eric took a sip of his coffee and closed his eyes, enjoying the taste.
"This is the most expensive cat poop coffee, every time I drink it, I think, humans are really perverted......"
"The crocodile skin on your feet is just as perverted." Zhan Leyan looked at Eric's crocodile leather shoes.
"Crocodiles are terrible, but what is even more terrible is human beings, I have learned Chinese idioms very well, people are unpredictable, duplicitous, and lust for profit."
"Heartbreaking, well-intentioned, tacit."
Zhan Le Yan blurted out.
Eric was stunned, then put down the coffee cup, looked at Zhan Leyan fixedly, and after a while, he slowly spoke.
"You're not worthy of Ruoke." He said word for word.
"You don't deserve her either." Zhan Leyan retorted.
