138 You love too early, I come too late
I don't know if it's my delusion, I feel that Xu Zhiyong's text message is not as familiar and courteous as before, even if it is just literal, I also smell a bad smell.
What he said was: "Miss Li Cheng, do you still like this gift I gave you?" β
After Chen Liang and Luo Mihui talked to me so much, I was full of doubts about what role Xu Zhiyong played in the accident in my life four years ago, whether he just inadvertently added fuel to the fire, or whether he was in league with Qiu Jialing and others.
If I hadn't been with Zhang Jingchi all the way today, I might have called him a long time ago to talk to him.
Well, anyway, I don't understand what he means now, and I'm about to look for him, so let's make it clear together.
So, I dialed Xu Zhiyong's phone.
I don't know if he guessed that I was going to call him, but the phone rang and he picked it up.
It was Xu Zhiyong who opened his mouth first.
He said, "Hey, I thought if you don't text back within three minutes, I'll call you." Li Cheng, congratulations on getting back together with Zhang Jingchi. β
Is it my delusion?
In his tone, even if he pretended to be relaxed, there seemed to be a thick accumulation of loss, and I didn't know how to speak for a while.
Seeing that I was silent, Xu Zhiyong suddenly changed to a very relaxed tone and said: "I am doing business here today, it is a coincidence, I saw you at the door of the supermarket and was about to say hello, but Zhang Jingchi appeared, he was very close, and he also patted your face, I guess you should be reconciled." It wouldn't be appropriate for me to go over and disturb again, so I didn't go up to say hello. β
I can't find the words anymore, think about Xu Zhiyong who sent me flowers more than a month ago, and a little bit of wanting to develop, I want to talk to him about what happened between me and Zhang Jingchi, and naturally I was embarrassed, but I was in love with him, and I wanted to say sorry to him.
After thinking about it, I pretended to easily turn the topic back and said, "Boss Xu, I just received a text message from you, I just don't understand, what gift did you give me?" I didn't see it! β
Xu Zhiyong was silent over there again, and he said for a while before he said, "It's quite complicated to say. My gift was actually given to you, but I sent it directly to Zhang Jingchi's hands. β
I was completely puzzled, and I was unconsciously led by his nose: "What is it?" β
In the end, I made this call, I still roamed, and I didn't need Xu Zhiyong's phone bill, he was silent for half a minute before he said slowly: "A long time ago, there was a very stupid woman, for Zhang Jingchi's business, wanted to untie her clothes in front of me, that scene was so exciting, fortunately, my camera recorded it, so that I have been occasionally idle and bored in recent years, I can take it out and watch it, and by the way, laugh at it, there are such stupid women in this world." Maybe I've been tired of watching it lately, and I thought I should find someone to share it with me, so I made a CD and gave Zhang Jingchi a copy of it. β
After a pause, Xu Zhiyong continued: "However, if it weren't for you, I really didn't want to share such a fun video with him, after all, after he watched it, he came over and beat me up again, and then went to Fujian to pick up girls." I obviously did a good deed, but I still have to be beaten, hehe, it is estimated that it is only my kind of Lei Feng who is willing to do such a thankless job. β
Xu Zhiyong's tone was quite light, like a glass of boiled water, but I still caught some melancholy that slowly dispersed.
It turned out to be Xu Zhiyong, who took the initiative to explain to Zhang Jingchi the reason why I would appear at Xu Zhiyong's house four years ago.
I suddenly felt that no matter whether he participated four years ago or not, he is now willing to help us clear the fog in this way, then I should also express my gratitude, so I said, "Boss Xu, thank you." β
Xu Zhiyong was silent again, and after a long time, he said: "Li Cheng, you can't say thank you to me, I can't stand it." There are some things I want to make clear to you. I must have no courage to say to my face, so I said what was wrong on the phone. β
I was stunned: "Huh? Then you say. β
Xu Zhiyong snorted, and he quickly said: "Forgive me for my love of acting some time ago, and deliberately pretending not to know anything." In the past few years, in fact, I have always known that you are doing a bad time, and I am actually clear about all your movements. I know you're pregnant with a child, I know your child didn't survive, I know you held your child in the rainstorm at the entrance of the hospital to ask for an explanation, and I know why you are so desperate to do business. I know all the hardships you have endured, and I know them very well. But I didn't dare to help, because I knew I had a part in hurting you so badly. β
With a long breath, Xu Zhiyong continued: "Li Cheng, I'm done, I'm going to continue to say, will you block my WeChat later, you can't even be a friend, and you won't get along with each other in this life?" β
He was too jumpy, and after I reacted, I said directly, "It depends on what you say." β
Xu Zhiyong smiled, and he quickly said, "Okay, I'll make myself miserable as soon as possible and see if I can arouse your sympathy." I was adopted by the Xu family when I was 4 years old, and it is undeniable that I lived quite happily before Zhang Jingchi was born. But as soon as he was born, everything became delicate. At first, they may have tried to treat me as a family member, but gradually I became an outsider. I was afraid of being abandoned again, so I became more and more cautious to please me, but the more I flattered, the less I was looked down upon. My mother, uh, in fact, I should call her Ms. Xu now, her temper is very bad, Zhang Jingchi is not close to her, I think I will bear it, be obedient, she will not drive me away. I was young at the time, and I thought that when I was older, I would definitely have to escape from this so-called home, but the older I became, the more cowardly I became, and I didn't have the courage to escape from the good life that the Xu family gave me, and I had no way to give up those luxury cars, good houses, and the convenience that the Xu family brought me in society. Li Cheng, do you think I'm a pathetic person? β
This is the first time Xu Zhiyong has mentioned this to me, I was listening to him carefully, and when I was asked all of a sudden, I was stunned for a moment, and I didn't know how to answer.
After thinking about it for a few seconds, I could only pour chicken soup for the soul on him without nutrition: "Everyone has everyone's helplessness, and I can't say this." β
Xu Zhiyong smiled without emotion, and he continued: "But soon, I got a chance. Of course, you gave me this opportunity. Zhang Jingchi rarely fell in love seriously before, or in other words, he was cold-blooded and ruthless, and basically refused to bother with girls. Ms. Xu knew from the mouth of a Broadlink colleague that he had arranged to take you to Hong Kong Disneyland, so I guess she was looking for you from the beginning, right? Who knows that the more she stops Zhang Jingchi, the more rebellious she becomes, she sees that you haven't dispersed for a month, she is afraid that Zhang Jingchi will really find someone who will not help the family in the future, she is completely anxious, and all her thoughts come up. She really didn't mean to treat me as Zhang Jingchi's brother, she told me, no matter if I use means to sleep with you and let you break up, or use other methods, in short, if I can let you break up with Zhang Jingchi successfully, she will completely privatize Bolian and give it to me after the matter is completed. I'm fed up with this kind of snort-seeking, I don't want to be a dog, I want to be an upright person, but before I become a human, I'm still a pug, and I have to finish what my owner has to do. I am different from Zhang Jingchi, Zhang Jingchi is in the Xu family, he can make mistakes wantonly, and he will be forgiven. But if I make a few mistakes, I'm going to get out. So, Li Cheng, a lot of the time, I can't help it. β
I groaned.
Although I was indeed stupid and naΓ―ve that year, I could guess that it was the old witch's idea from the day Xu Zhiyong parachuted into Bolian out of thin air.
So Xu Zhiyong's words, I only thought he was lyrical, and I was uncomfortable listening to it.
If Xu Zhiyong had told me these things four years ago, I would have shouted: "Xu Zhiyong, you are really spineless." β
However, today, when I have seen the power of money, after I have been treated lukewarmly without preparing red envelopes for those obstetricians, and after I have no money to pay expensive legal fees, those lawyers ignore my tears and turn me away, I know more and more that money is really an indispensable thing, and I should not be too harsh on those who chase money.
Thinking about my phone roaming, I was going to be silent for a few more minutes, and I couldn't afford to speak, and I finally said, "Well, understood." β
Xu Zhiyong also snorted, and he continued: "However, my heart and liver are not made of stone. In the face of a very stupid and naΓ―ve woman, I am occasionally confused, this woman is obviously stupid, but there is nothing wrong with it, why do I have to help abuse her. I'm a scumbag, but I'm a scumbag. So I can't do it. So in the end, I could only use the discord meter, and when Zhang Jingchi questioned me, I was ambiguous and did not tell the truth. Or the reason why I didn't want to reveal the truth at that time, or not just to get Bolian, but I think, why can he Zhang Jingchi meet such a fool, but I can't! β
It seemed that he drank some water, Xu Zhiyong paused for a moment and continued: "The night you broke up with Zhang Jingchi, I followed you for a long time, I couldn't bear to look at it, so I could only pay you a sum of money myself, I wanted to ensure that you could have food and clothing for at least a few years, I didn't dare to say that the money was given by me, so I could only continue to lie, but you threw the card away." I wanted to say at the time, stupid, if you don't follow me, I won't break up with you later. But that's too much of a danger. In order to prevent myself from making mistakes, I can only send you away casually. β
After another pause, Xu Zhiyong took a deep breath, and said: "Li Cheng, maybe you think that after we meet again, I will ask you to dinner and send you flowers, I am too enthusiastic about you, you may feel that the progress is too fast, so fast that you feel awkward, of course you can feel awkward, but for me, I only feel that I am always half a beat slower." Yes, I'm half a beat slower, so even after four years, whether I'm going to ask you for dinner or send you flowers, it's just to make you a wedding dress, I guess if I hadn't pretended to be on the offensive, Zhang Jingchi would still be squirming like a girl. What I mean by telling you this today is that I, Xu Zhiyong, liked a stupid woman like you four years ago. But you love too early, I come too late. I've actually always regretted what I did. Now that I've succeeded in being a god assist and returning your man to you, I feel a little better in my heart. Okay, I'm going to finish talking nonsense, I just want to confirm, if I start today, try to make myself not that thief to you, try my best to be a good friend with you, and usually come out for dinner when I'm bored, will you continue to treat me as a friend, or will you block me? β
