Chapter 266: The Cruel Truth
It's free!
He hugged me tighter, and his voice whispered in my ear: "Are you still waiting for him?" ”
I saw myself in the glass, my eyes kept flickering, Lu Qianyu lowered his head, leaned his chin on my shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Is he still alive?" ”
I heard the sound of my heart about to explode, my nervous palms were full of sweat, through the window, I saw his eyes staring at me firmly, at that moment, I felt that my breathing was going to stop, countless thoughts kept intertwining in my mind, I bit my tongue fiercely and turned around to look at Lu Qianyu sadly: "It's gone, he's long gone!" I want him alive too! But..."
Lu Qianyu suddenly stretched out his hand and dragged me into his arms, staring at me with low eyebrows: "In that case, why don't you look forward?" ”
I blinked slowly, staring at his pupils, trying to probe his heart from inside, but his eyes became softer and softer, leaned down and put his big hand on the back of my head, I felt his warm breath rushing to my face, nervously shook my head out of his arms and took a few steps back, until my body was against the wall.
The two of us looked at each other in the dark, his eyebrows gradually gathered, and he looked down at his prosthetic leg a little lonely, then turned around and moved to the side of the bed and whispered: "If it weren't for that fire, we wouldn't have been like this, the sky is not as good as the man, we are all counted." ”
I was stunned for a moment and asked him, "Is that fire man-made?" ”
Lu Qianyu had already walked to the bed, but his footsteps paused, and then he suddenly turned around and looked at me with dark eyes, just staring at me for a moment, time seemed to stand still at that moment, he slowly opened his mouth, and his voice drilled into my ears like a knife: "If he knew that you were with me that day, he wouldn't have chosen to do it to me that day." ”
I suddenly felt like someone was hitting my head with a stick, all the strength of my body was violently withdrawn, my legs trembled, and the whole person leaned against the wall, Lu Qianyu looked at me sadly and said nothing.
I forgot how I walked back from his room step by step that night, I only knew that I didn't close my eyes all night, my mind was full of the voice of me begging him, I begged him to save Lu Qianyu, but he... Resolutely hugged me and left...
I have been tormented by that fire for so many years, and I often dream that I am trapped in the sea of fire in midnight dreams, tormented by nightmares countless times, and watching my best friend leave me, the pain, fear, fear, despair, step by step pushing me into the abyss!
But I never thought that all this was given to me by the hands of the person I love the most! This kind of blow is like my body hanging on the edge of a cliff, and after being rescued, I am pushed down so hard that I can't breathe!
I began to be confused, to doubt, to struggle, and a great fear was gnawing at my heart little by little, little by little.
I don't dare to bring up this topic again, I don't want to accept this fact, but every day for Lu Qianyu, my heart is tormented!
The thought that the root of this torture came from the man I loved the most made my heart tumble with pain!
I often sit by the fireside, Xiaobai curled up on my lap, I drank red wine alone, drank until I fell asleep, once I woke up and found me in my own bed, I don't know how Lu Qianyu carried me upstairs, but he didn't mention it later.
I don't know if it's because of the amount of alcohol I practiced, it was difficult for me to get drunk again, and no matter how much I drank, I couldn't suppress the pain in my heart.
Until one day Lu Qianyu gave me a beautiful box, I asked him what it was, he asked me to open it myself, it was a delicate dress, I looked at him puzzled, he looked back at me with clear eyes: "UBA's first event in China, I want you to attend with me." ”
I suddenly felt a little short of breath, I knew the importance of this event to him, and I knew what it meant to be with him, I lowered my head and looked at the glittering dress in my hand, and then raised my eyes, as if I had gone through a difficult decision, and nodded slowly at him, Lu Qianyu's eyes were a little excited and overflowing with warmth: "Da Bai..."
I smiled at him and quickly withdrew my eyes.
The public appearance of Lu Qianyu and I shook the entire business world, and all kinds of news and speculation flew all over the sky.
What did I first hook up with the popular star Nan Xiu, and then met Li Ziluo, the boss of M Hotel, who got a huge amount of property after a flash marriage, and quickly hooked up with the founder of UBA, a mythical cloud of a dick girl counterattacking the international business boss, in short, various versions spread me to be mysterious or unsightly.
I never thought that one day I would be recognized by the world if I was not a star.
In the eyes of many people, I am a woman about 30 years old who has come to today's position after several changes, it is a legend, only I know that along the way, my blood and tears can only be swallowed in my stomach!
Xiao Yang asked me if I wanted to send a PR draft, and I laughed it off.
It was also after this incident that Li Fan learned that I moved in with Lu Qianyu.
I thought she would scold me, but I didn't expect her to call me out for dinner, and then stopped talking a few times and then said to me: "Ziluo is no longer here, you can't be alone for the rest of your life, I know there is a lot of gossip out there now, but if you decide, I support you." ”
I lowered my head and tossed the sauce from the bowl with red eyes.
Lu Qianyu has become a new upstart in the domestic business community, many large enterprises through his relationship matchmaking and foreign enterprises directly cooperate, UBA is equivalent to a bridge, said professional, more like a large scale of tripartite institutions, a lot of effective resources together, like a huge international business library, this unique model makes UBA quickly sought after by domestic businessmen.
And my relationship with Lu Qianyu has also become a topic of conversation for many people after dinner.
One day, about not long after, I suddenly received a call from Nanxiu, and he said in a very bad tone: "I'm in Rongcheng, you come out!" ”
Nan Xiu had never spoken to me in such a tone, and when I paused to ask where he was, he said he was waiting for me at the old docks.
I drove directly from the company to the old wharf, and I saw Nanxiu sitting on the embankment from a distance, one leg on the embankment, one leg hanging outside, dangling a dog's tail grass in his hand, and looking at the river with solemn eyes.
I stopped the car and walked to him step by step to meet the river breeze, he seemed to sense it and turned his head, and when he saw me, he suddenly jumped down from the embankment and walked towards me, the wind blew the corners of his clothes, but could not blow away his frowning brow.
Until he walked up to me and grabbed my wrist and forced me to ask, "Are you in the wrong brain?" Don't you love Li Ziluo so much that you love to die and come back to life? Why did you get together with him as soon as the surname Lu appeared? ”
I shook off his hand and walked around him towards the embankment: "That's my business. ”
Nan Xiu walked up to me in a few steps and blocked my way: "Do you know who he is, just wrap up with him!" ”
I raised my eyes and locked his eyes, slanted my lips and sneered: "Then who are you?" ”
Nanxiu's chest rose and fell slightly, and he stood in front of me and stared down at me, his already frowning brow getting tighter and tighter.
I opened my mouth lightly again: "Or, what is the relationship between your family and the Lin family?" ”
When he heard my words, his pupils suddenly contracted and he was a little stunned, and then he suddenly turned around and walked to the embankment, with his back to me, holding the dam with his hands and looking at the river.
I stood there and watched his back, waiting for his explanation.
It wasn't until an autumn breeze blew the river, and the river hit the embankment and splashed a wave, that he lowered his head and said to me, "Let's have a partnership." ”
I walked to him in a few steps, he raised his head again and looked at the river, with a distant expression: "The topography of this city is excellent for water conservancy, surrounded by the Yangtze River and Jialing two waters, and faces the river on three sides, forming a peninsula.
Rongcheng, there is a mountain inside the door, and there is water outside the door, our Nanjia has always maintained neutrality in that era, and has business dealings with the Thirteen Gangs, and also cooperates with the so-called robber merchants, making money at both ends.
It wasn't until later that the contradictions between the two sides became bigger and bigger, and the Nan family finally put down their interests and stood on the moral line, and offended Fushang from then on. ”
Nan Xiu lowered his head and wrinkled his eyebrows bitterly, since the last time we met, I realized that Nan Xiu may still hide secrets that I don't know, I had been wary of thinking that he would be Li Ziluo's enemy, but I never thought that his family was such a role in that period of history.
I was a little shocked and asked him, "Then your father died at that time?" ”
He pulled the corners of his mouth and raised his head with difficulty: "The Lin family was killed, and the descendants of the Fushang forced my father to trade with them.
My father said yes on the surface, but I told you about the rest last time. ”
I couldn't react from Nan Xiu's words, and looked at him a little confused: "After your father poked the news, he was sold instead, and he was killed on the ship with those lucky merchants?" ”
Nan Xiu didn't speak again, but the hatred in his eyes became stronger and stronger: "There are always people who sit on the tiger and watch the mountain fight, this realm cannot tolerate a single family, whether it is the Thirteen Gangs or the Fushang, it is a feud and a target, the Shenglun sank, everyone thought that this hundred-year tug-of-war had finally come to an end, who would have expected that the descendants of the Lin family would suddenly rise in a few decades, and who would have expected that the Fushang would not be completely extinct!" ”
When night fell, a row of high-rise buildings on the other side of the river shone out the light in unison, making the whole river surface transparent with treacherous and changeable light, and the fog that lingered in my heart for several years was finally clear at this moment!
It was not so much shock, but a great sadness and despair, cruelly tearing my heart apart...
I twisted my eyebrows and whispered: "Did Li Ziluo already know that there would be that fire back then!" ”
Nan Xiu turned his head abruptly: "What did you say?" ”
"The fire back then, was it set by Li Ziluo?"
Nan Xiu turned around, his gray eyes seemed to be brewing with majestic and complex emotions, looked at me tangled, and said in a heavy voice for a long time: "Da Bai... I'm going to tell you something, maybe you'll break with me from now on, but I just hope that you stay away from him anyway! ”
I thought that there was nothing in this world that could stir up the waves in my heart anymore, but when Nan Xiu told me about it, my whole body was like a huge blow, and I heard a belief in my heart slowly collapsing, disintegrating, and corroding...
