Chapter 181: I won't let my affairs implicate you
readx; "Husband, my head...... It hurts so much...... Chu Xinyi coquettishly pulled the corner of Ning Ronghao's clothes, crying so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, which was very pitiful. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Of course it hurts, it's so loud, it really scares my heart out." Ning Ronghao carefully put the prepared ice pack on the red and swollen bag on the side of her head, "Fortunately, the bathtub was not smashed by your head." ”
"Huh...... It hurts...... I hate it, you still tease me at this time......" Chu Xinyi glared at Ning Ronghao with disgust, and muttered: "It makes people dizzy again......"
"Let's go to the hospital, I don't feel at ease if I don't make a film." Ning Ronghao regretted it, he shouldn't have compromised just now, even if he carried her, he should have carried her to the hospital.
"This time it's not as serious as last time, and the medicine prescribed by the hospital last time is still there, so just take it according to the doctor's instructions." Chu Xinyi didn't want to go to the hospital, let alone leave the house.
"Then you take a rest first, come, and gently hold the ice pack yourself." Ning Ronghao held Chu Xinyi's hand and put it on the ice pack, "I'll go and ask my mother to make some porridge for you, if you still feel dizzy for a while, we have to go to the hospital." Got it? ”
Chu Xinyi nodded weakly, she didn't have the energy to argue with him now, anyway, it would be fine in a while.
Half an hour later, Ning Ronghao coaxed Chu Xinyi to eat porridge, and only after making sure that she was really not dizzy or nauseous, did she calm down a little.
"*a* book * read * little * say ybdu wife, you hold on for a while, take the medicine in twenty minutes, and you can sleep." Ning Ronghao found out the medicine prescribed by the doctor when Chu Xinyi kowtowed last time.
"I'm not sleepy." Chu Xinyi drilled into the quilt, only exposing her eyes, "I still have to listen to you talk about the past...... Husband, after such a long time, will you feel sad when you talk about the kidnapping? ”
Although she wanted to hear it, she didn't want to make Ning Ronghao sad, if he didn't want to speak, she wouldn't force him.
"Not anymore." Ning Ronghao shook his head, stared at Chu Xinyi's gaze, and said meaningfully: "Because you are by my side." ”
At this moment, Chu Xinyi suddenly had a feeling that Ning Ronghao seemed to know that she was the little girl who saved him back then.
If so, where did he learn about it?
By the way, he once said that he would not give up looking for a life-saver, could it be that he found out the truth himself?
Does he know who I am? Do you know that Lan Yecheng is my younger brother? Chu Xinyi couldn't give an answer to a series of questions, but the last one, she felt that the answer was no.
If Ning Ronghao knew that Lan Yecheng was her own brother, then he wouldn't have eaten that child's vinegar before.
Seeing Chu Xinyi fall into deep thought, Ning Ronghao didn't bother her anymore, and after packing her luggage for a business trip, it was almost time to take medicine.
He first tested the temperature of the water, and then helped Chu Xinyi up, holding the cup in one hand and the cap of the bottle containing the medicine in the other, and said gently: "Okay, wife, take the medicine." ”
"Hmm." Chu Xinyi obediently took the medicine, "Husband, don't clean up, lie down and tell me about it." ”
"Okay." Ning Ronghao lay down beside Chu Xinyi, hugged her into his arms, and while helping her with ice, he told her about his kidnapping fifteen years ago.
He spoke in great detail, and he didn't miss every conversation he had with the little girl.
In Ning Ronghao's opinion, something is wrong with Chu Xinyi today probably because she remembered the past.
He had promised his grandparents before that he would not take the initiative to mention her past to Chu Xinyi, but at the same time, he also said that if she remembered it first, then he would not hide it from her.
After listening to Ning Ronghao's words, Chu Xinyi was silent for a long time before asking, "Husband, did you say that the little girl mentioned to you more than once that she had a younger brother?" ”
"Yes." Ning Ronghao nodded, according to his grandparents, the so-called younger brother should be the neighbor's child. If that's the case, won't it make her mind even more messy?
"That little girl in shabby clothes?" Chu Xinyi continued to ask.
"Yes." Ning Ronghao nodded again, this was also something he couldn't figure out. With the environment of the Chu family at that time, they should not wear such shabby clothes for their children.
"She still has the scars of being whipped on her body?" Chu Xinyi frowned, if she was like that when she was a child, it meant that Lan Yecheng had suffered the same abuse as her.
"That's right." Ning Ronghao didn't think that his grandparents' words were completely invulnerable, but he didn't want to doubt the two old men. Even if they concealed something, it must be for the purpose of protecting Chu Xinyi.
After asking three questions, Chu Xinyi fell silent.
Seeing that her eyes were closed all the time, it seemed that she was asleep, but the beating eyelids revealed the truth. Ning Ronghao knew that she didn't want to say anything, let alone ask him, so she pretended to be asleep.
I'm afraid her mind is in a mess right now, and tonight is going to be a sleepless night.
Chu Xinyi really couldn't fall asleep, and Ning Ronghao's words indirectly confirmed Lan Fucai's words.
She didn't want to think about what happened to her when she was a child for the time being, she just wanted to see Lan Yecheng sooner now.
That kid, I'm afraid he knew from the beginning that he was his sister Ye Meiyu, so it was not for nothing that he fought with Ning Zaiyu.
Xiaocheng, I'm sorry, my sister is very useless and made you suffer so much. You're still a child, but I'm going to let you protect me. From now on, my sister will take care of you.
Xiaocheng, where did you go? I don't believe you're willing to stay too far away from me, you just don't want me to find you.
By the way, mother, I have a mother in addition to my brother. However, Chu Xinyi was not happy with this cognition.
When I and my younger brother were abused like that when they were children, what kind of mother could let that man beat and scold them, and even ...... Do that kind of thing that is not as good as a beast.
She couldn't have been ignorant of what that Lan Fucai had done. As a mother of two, she failed to protect her children...... Could it be that she didn't dare to speak up when she saw herself being bullied?
Just now, Chu Xinyi recalled some sporadic fragments in her mind, although she couldn't remember everything, she felt that she was able to escape in the first place, as if it was because of Lan Yecheng's help.
Opening her eyes suddenly, Chu Xinyi looked at Ning Ronghao, but found that he had been looking at her, and a warm current surged in her heart, but she felt more and more sorry for him.
"Husband, can I ask you for one thing?" Chu Xinyi still decided to ask Ning Ronghao for help, and after she figured out everything, when the right time came, she would confess everything to him.
"Do you want me to help you find Lan Yecheng?" Ning Ronghao asked with a smile.
"Yes, I want to see him." Chu Xinyi nodded, "As for the reason......
"Okay, I'll help you find it." Ning Ronghao replied very cheerfully.
"Won't you ask me why?" Chu Xinyi raised her eyebrows, and the answer seemed to be self-evident.
"If I asked now, would you tell me?" Ning Ronghao tried his best to make his tone sound not eager, saying that he was not worried about Chu Xinyi, it was definitely fake, but he didn't want to force her.
Chu Xinyi shook her head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I can't tell you ...... for the time being."
"So, I'll listen to you when you're willing to speak." Ning Ronghao put his finger on Chu Xinyi's lips, signaling that she didn't have to say any more.
"Thank you." Chu Xinyi sincerely expressed her gratitude to him.
"What do I think, when I come back from a business trip, you and I seem to have a lot of separation." Ning Ronghao frowned, he pinched her nose dissatisfied, and pretended to be angry and said, "It's a pity that you broke your head, otherwise, I will contact you for a good time." ”
Chu Xinyi naturally heard the meaning of his words, and unexpectedly did not blush, but closed her eyes tightly, and said in a low voice: "I'm sleepy and want to sleep." ”
Ning Ronghao stared at her quietly, as if something else was bothering her.
Why was she so anxious to find Lan Yecheng? She had just repeatedly confirmed what the little girl had said, especially when she said about her brother...... Did she think that Blue Leaf was the younger brother she was talking about? Is that the neighbor's boy that Chu Weiqi and Zheng Qiuping said they were talking about?
No, there is something wrong with this reasoning. Ning Ronghao shook his head and denied it, but he didn't have the energy to continue thinking about it. He yawned, turned off the bedside lamp, he hugged Chu Xinyi a little tighter, and carefully helped her press the ice pack, and closed her eyes sleepily.
Even if he couldn't figure out the reason, he was already thinking about how to help Chu Xinyi find Lan Yecheng.
In the dark, Chu Xinyi slowly opened her eyes, although she couldn't see Ning Ronghao's appearance clearly, she could clearly feel his breathing.
If the greatest luck in my life is to meet you, marry you, and be loved and spoiled by you, then your greatest misfortune is probably to meet me. You may be affected by me because of my background and past.
I've never done anything for you before, and this time, no matter what, I'm going to protect you and not let my business implicate you.
Even if it's ...... Even if it's to end our marriage.
made up her mind, although there was some heartache, Chu Xinyi felt that her mood was a lot lighter. So much had happened in the day, she was really tired, closed her eyes, and after a while she fell asleep.
Hearing the even breathing of the woman in her arms, Ning Ronghao slowly opened her eyes, but fortunately, she finally fell asleep.
Gently picking up the ice pack pressed on her head, he used his mobile phone to illuminate the place where she was injured, and carefully observed her injury, which seemed to have subsided.
Finally breathing a sigh of relief, Ning Ronghao closed his eyes again. What's the matter, think about it tomorrow, he needs to get a good night's sleep now.
The next day, Ning Ronghao took Chu Xinyi back to the hospital for a follow-up visit, and by the way, she took a CT scan on her head.
When the film came out, Ning Ronghao answered a phone call.
"Wife, I've already found a place where Lan Yecheng lives." He glanced at Chu Xinyi, who was sitting beside him drinking water, and told her the results of what she had confessed.
"Ahem......" Chu Xinyi was choked by the water, and when her breathing stabilized a little, she looked at Ning Ronghao and asked, "Where does he live?" ”
Ning Ronghao said an address, gently patted Chu Xinyi's back, and said distressedly: "Don't worry, I'll send you over in a while." ”
Chu Xinyi anxiously glanced at the door of the CT room, why hadn't the doctor come out to deliver the film.
"Don't worry, I let people follow him, and he won't escape." Ning Ronghao saw Chu Xinyi's worries, so he smiled and comforted her.
nodded indiscriminately, but Chu Xinyi had her own plans in her heart.
She stood up abruptly and said to Ning Ronghao: "Husband, you wait for the film for me, I'm going to find Xiaocheng now." ”
"Wait a minute." Ning Ronghao hurriedly grabbed Chu Xinyi's hand, is she the patient, the patient ran away, what's the use of leaving him?
"Husband, I can't wait, I really have something very important to ask him." Only a few seconds passed, but she felt that after centuries, Chu Xinyi couldn't sit still.
Ning Ronghao didn't let go of his hand, he coaxed her and said, "Wife, should you also consider my mood?" I don't see the CT with my own eyes to make sure you're okay, I'll be worried all the time. ”
"That's why I'll leave you here to watch the film." Chu Xinyi suddenly sat back beside Ning Ronghao, begged him and said, "Husband, I don't think my head has anything to do, so you just let me go." ”
Ning Ronghao looked at Chu Xinyi quietly, he knew that it was useless for him to say anything, she would never compromise and stay.
"Okay then, you can go ......" Ning Ronghao saw that Chu Xinyi wanted to run without waiting for her words to finish, so she immediately hugged her shoulders and negotiated a condition with her, "You listen to me first, I can let you go to see Lan Yecheng, but where you two go, you must send me a message." I'll pick you up when I get the film and ask the doctor. You have to promise me that you will be honest and wait for me where you are. ”
"Okay, I promise." Chu Xinyi wanted to leave quickly, and secondly, she didn't want Ning Ronghao to worry, so she hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Lan Yecheng never thought that as soon as he opened the door, the person he saw would be Chu Xinyi.
"You...... How did you find here? As soon as the words came out, he felt that he had asked a very stupid question, Chu Xinyi naturally didn't have this ability, and the person who found him should be Ning Ronghao.
Chu Xinyi didn't answer Lan Yecheng's question, but instead asked him a series of questions: "Why did you resign from the bar?" Is it to avoid me? You think I won't find it, do you? How are you going to explain this to me? ”
"This is not the place to talk, you wait for me, let's go out and talk." Lan Yecheng rented a plug room, and there were other people living here besides him.
"Okay." Chu Xinyi nodded, blocking the door, for fear that he would escape.
When he changed his clothes and walked to the door, Chu Xinyi grabbed Lan Yecheng's arm and didn't give him a chance to escape.
"If you're like this, others will misunderstand. What if I get photographed by a reporter? Lan Yecheng frowned, he didn't care, but Chu Xinyi was a person who had shown her face in the media, and it would not be good if she was seen by reporters.
"Ahh Oops! Only then did Chu Xinyi remember the purpose of rushing back to Ning's house yesterday afternoon, but because of Lan Fucai's sudden appearance, she forgot about it to death.
I'm such a pig's brain! She scolded herself fiercely, this time she must not forget, when Ning Ronghao came to pick her up for a while, she had to tell him as soon as possible.
"What's wrong?" Although Lan Yecheng didn't know what Chu Xinyi was referring to, he knew from her expression that it was not trivial.
"It's nothing, I have something important to say to you, you know you well around here, is there any quiet and warm place?" Chu Xinyi asked Lan Yecheng while looking around, she suddenly pointed forward, "Xiao Cheng, let's go to that coffee house, let's go, I'm going to freeze to death." ”
As she spoke, she pulled Lan Yecheng and ran towards the coffee house.
Holding the steaming coffee in her hand, Chu Xinyi finally felt that she was alive again, and she knew that she shouldn't have listened to Ning Ronghao's words, and she was wearing too little.
As soon as she thought of Ning Ronghao, she remembered that she had promised him to tell him where she would meet Lan Yecheng. So, she picked up her phone and texted him the name and address of the coffee house.
Quietly waiting for Chu Xinyi to finish sending the message, Lan Ye Chengcai asked softly, "What are you looking for me?" ”
Chu Xinyi lowered her head and stared at the coffee in front of her, she had already thought all the way when she came, but she had never thought about how to confirm it with Lan Yecheng.
It has to have a shocking effect before he can tell the truth.
"You...... When are you going to call me sister? As she spoke, Chu Xinyi raised her head and met Lan Yecheng's eyes.
Hearing her words, Lan Yecheng pulled the corners of his mouth unnaturally and said, "I said it, I don't want to recognize you as a sister." ”
"That's right, you really don't need to recognize me as a sister." Chu Xinyi nodded, paused, and said clearly: "Because I was originally your sister." ”
"I don't understand what you mean." Lan Yecheng's hand was trembling slightly, and he noticed it himself, so he moved his hand under the table.
Chu Xinyi saw his panic, she resisted the urge to hug him, and said word by word: "I ...... yesterday I met Lan Fucai. ”
"What did you say?" As soon as Lan Yecheng heard the words "Lan Fucai", he stood up suddenly, and after perceiving his gaffe, he sat down again and denied it: "You don't have to listen to a word of what he said, let alone believe it." He's my stepfather, and he's pestering you just to cheat you out of money. ”
"And how do you explain this?" Chu Xinyi gently placed the necklace on the table.
"How can this ......" Lan Ye wanted to ask why this necklace was here with Chu Xinyi, and then he thought that she had the same necklace as himself, so he hurriedly closed it.
"This is your necklace, the necklace you thought had been burned, Lan Fucai said, it's you...... No, it was our mother who put it away. Chu Xinyi lowered her eyelids, fiddled with the necklace, and told a lie: "Xiaocheng, don't hide it from me anymore, I have already remembered the previous things." ”
Lan Yecheng was young in the end, and was frightened by Chu Xinyi, thinking that she really remembered everything when she was a child.
"Sister, I'...... Actually, I really hope you'll never remember me. Lan Yecheng looked at Chu Xinyi with red eyes, his hand slowly stretched out towards her, gently covering the back of her hand.
"Fool, I'm your sister." Chu Xinyi clenched Lan Yecheng's hand with her backhand, and said distressedly: "Why didn't you make it clear to me earlier?" ”
Lan Yecheng pulled the corners of his mouth, and said with red eyes: "When I was young, you were always protecting me. I'm grown up now, I'm a man, and it's up to me to protect you. ”
"After so many years, it's hard for you." Chu Xinyi's tears flowed down the corners of her eyes, she lowered her head, as if she was repenting to Lan Yecheng, "I'm sorry, because I forgot the past, so I didn't know that I really had a younger brother, if I remembered you earlier, perhaps, you would suffer less." ”
"I said, I hope you never remember what you used to do." A trace of hatred flashed in Lan Yecheng's eyes, he would not let Lan Fucai go.
Seeing his expression, Chu Xinyi was stunned for a moment, and at this moment, she was almost sure that she had indeed been raped by Lan Fucai. Otherwise, Lan Yecheng would not have been so secretive about the past.
Although she is very happy to find her brother, how will she face Ning Ronghao in the future?
