Chapter 25: The Funeral
Li Zhen went to Zhu Hui's funeral, she wore a black knee-length dress and a black bowler hat, standing downstairs at Zhu Hui's house, looking at the spiritual shed built in the community from a distance. There were people all around, as if all the people from the town were coming. She saw an old woman standing alone and receiving the arriving guests. Bursts of crying came from the shed.
"Let's go, let's go back!" said softly with a hand around her shoulder.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault. Li Zhen cried, she turned around and looked at the man who hugged her, "Hu Sheng, I'm sorry, it's all my fault." It was my fault. I killed her, I killed her. ”
"Hey, hey, don't blame yourself, it's not anyone's fault, it's just that we don't have a relationship with her. Well, don't cry. Baby. Hu Sheng took Li Zhen in his arms and gently patted Li Zhen's shoulder. "Let's go, let's go home. ”
Li Zhen shook her head, she was already crying and speechless. Hu Sheng also cried, and tears silently gushed out of his eyes. He bit his lip and hugged Li Zhen hard. "It's me who doesn't take good care of you, Zhenzhen, it's me who is not good. In this way, our future children, whether boys or girls, will be called Xiaoxi, only Xiaoxi, okay? " Hu Sheng picked up Li Zhen's face and kissed away the tears on her face. But she cried even harder.
"Do you know why I don't want children?" Li Zhen took a step forward and deftly dodged the hand that Jin Peng placed on his shoulder. The crying at Zhu Hui's funeral opened up her memory. "Hu Sheng and I used to have a very beautiful daughter named Xiaoxi, but she died. ”
"I don't want to hear about your past. Jin Peng said.
"Why do you want to marry me?" Li Zhen suddenly turned around and looked at Jin Peng. "My mom must not have told me what kind of person I was. ”
"I don't think your friend's death made you feel too bad. Jin Peng dodged Li Zhen's questioning, quickly looked Li Zhen up and down with his eyes, and then raised his eyes to look into the distance. On the day Li Zhen became ill, he called someone to investigate her, and he was a little annoyed that he blindly married Li Zhen. Although Li Zhen will inherit a large amount of property from the An family, and that part of the property can help their Jin family survive the financial crisis safely. He has always loved Li Zhen, and just wants to please her and Mrs. An, and the world knows that the An family has only one pearl in the palm of his hand, and that is Anxin, which is now Li Zhen. But he never thought that there would be anything wrong with Li Zhen-
"Do you love me?" Li Zhen suddenly turned to look at Jin Peng, aggressive. "The Jin family needs the help of the An family. ”
"Of course I love you!" Jin Peng grinned. The word love easily floated out of his mouth. "I gave Zhu Zhilong 50,000. Then he added in a whisper.
"Hmph-stop pretending, I know you don't love me at all, your kindness to me is all fake, you're just trying to please my mother. Li Zhen didn't seem to hear Jin Peng's last sentence, she said in a low voice. said slowly: "Except for Hu Sheng, no one loves me." ”
"The man who beats you every day loves you, don't you hate him?" Jin Peng asked sharply, it was a joke.
"No, I love him. No one else can make me love him so much. ”
"So you came to him as soon as he got out of prison. Jin Peng gritted his teeth when he said, Li Zhen's words angered him, even if he was in love with the money of the An family, but now Li Zhen is still his wife, a dignified man must not bear his own woman thinking about other men. "Do you know that you should have married me in the first place, not the country man? Jin Peng grabbed Li Zhen's hand.
"Zhenzhen. A sudden voice interrupted their conversation, and Jin Peng instantly let go of his grip on Li Zhen's arm. Turning to look at the man standing behind him.
"Hu Sheng!" Li Zhen shouted softly, her voice trembling with sadness. "Hu Sheng!" Hu Sheng walked towards her, and she took two steps back. Hu Sheng wanted to pull her, but she dodged it, Hu Sheng shook his head and frowned.
"You're the man who called Li Zhen to divorce me?" Jin Peng said, staring at Hu Sheng viciously, eager to tear him apart. The man in front of him was wearing a white shirt and a pair of trousers that didn't fit well, with a very short flat head, half a head shorter than Jinpeng, very thin, as if he had suffered a lot of pain, and had just recovered his health. His back even looked a little crooked, but even so, it couldn't hide his very handsome face.
"What?" Hu Sheng then raised his eyes to look at the man. He was silent for a moment, still frowning, as if thinking about something. Then he turned to Li Zhen: "You remarried?"
Jin Peng suddenly stood in front of Hu Sheng, blocking his view of Li Zhen. "What are you pretending to be? You called her to divorce me, and you didn't know that she was happily married now?" he said.
Hu Sheng ignored Jin Peng, he moved a meter away from Jin Peng and looked at Li Zhen. "Really?" he was calm, but his handsome face twitched slightly as he spoke. In any case, he was not at all what Li Zhen described - hateful and short-tempered. On the contrary, he looked very honest and honest, Li Zhen looked at Hu Sheng, did not speak, and pulled the thumb of his right hand vigorously with his left hand. That's what happens when she's nervous. Hu Sheng looked at her, and after a moment he shook his head and walked towards Zhu Hui's spirit shed, quickly disappearing from their sight.
"Perhaps, you can explain. Jin Peng said, his tone completely confused. When he looked back at Li Zhen, she had already walked back, looking at Li Zhen's familiar and unfamiliar back, an inexplicable horror fermented in Jinpeng's heart again.
