Chapter 124: I Promise You
"Well, I'll be there shortly." Zhou Wei hung up the phone, and a wicked smile rose on the corner of his mouth.
He is 29 years old and a secondary school teacher.
After graduating, he went to work abroad.
When he returned to China more than two years ago, he found that the place had changed dramatically.
The once prosperous street has become depressed and deserted.
His former colleague, friend, neighbor...... All gone.
All that remains is the ruins of a dilapidated building.
And those abandoned cars and tires lying on the side of the road.
"Looks like I'm back in the past!" Zhou Wei smiled bitterly, "I hope that little girl can hold on!"
I think of that cute, stubborn, and distressing girl.
A hint of tenderness appeared at the corner of Zhou Wei's mouth.
At the beginning, in order to avenge her, he not only killed all the people who hurt her.
used the fastest speed to take her away from the place of right and wrong.
At that time, Zhou Wei had just turned 18 years old.
And that little girl is only 14 years old.
She's still very simple.
It's so simple that you don't understand anything.
She didn't even know who her father's killer was, she only knew that she wanted to find the enemy to take revenge.
She didn't even know that it was their enemies who killed her parents.
She would never have imagined that her father and mother were dead.
And the person who killed her parents was Zhou Wei's grandfather.
Zhou Wei never thought of hurting that little girl in the slightest.
The only thing he hopes for is that the little girl will never know the truth about her background.
Because he didn't want that stupid girl to get hurt.
"Old Zhou, please help me investigate Zhou Wei's whereabouts." Zhou Wei dialed the phone, and his voice was extremely indifferent, "If you can't find it, you can all get out!"
His tone was cold, as if he were a demon from hell.
And this demonic power is irresistible to anyone.
He is heaven and earth.
Under his control, everyone is as small as ants.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou." The other party bowed his head and said respectfully, "We will give you news as soon as possible."
"Better hurry! Otherwise, I wouldn't mind sending you all to hell! Zhou Wei coldly put down the cruel words, and then hung up the phone.
Over time.
Zhou Wei's face became more and more ugly.
He didn't dare to think badly.
He was afraid that his speculation would turn out to be true.
In that case, what should the little girl do?
"Zhou Wei, why are you standing at the door, come in, it's too cold outside." A woman in her forties walked out, saw Zhou Wei standing at the door, and said with concern.
"Mom, it's nothing, it's just a phone call." Zhou Wei smiled, "Where's Dad?"
"He's taking a nap in the house, I'll call him, you wait." The woman walked towards the living room, and soon she returned again, "Come in, don't pestle at the door."
"Well, Mom, you're busy with you, I'll go in later."
Zhou Wei walked into the living room.
He sat down on the couch and closed his eyes.
In his mind, he repeated the appearance of the little girl over and over again.
He remembered the first time he met her.
She wears a white shirt and a high ponytail, has a delicate appearance, a slender figure, and looks lively and cute.
At that time, he just treated her as a sister.
Later, after a long time, he knew that the little girl's mind was very sensitive.
She was lonely.
In her family, except for an old mother, the rest of the people are not around her.
She always likes to hide in her room alone.
Or, she likes to sit alone on the balcony in a daze,
Or, she likes to read a book alone, or, she likes to sneak around alone and go somewhere else to play......
He always wanted to help her, but every time, he could only watch her leave, but he couldn't stop her.
She was like a lost lamb who didn't know where to run.
It wasn't until later that he finally decided to help her.
He handed her a piece of paper and told her that the people in that house were bad people and could not stay in their house.
Their families are wealthy, but they have no affection.
He hoped that the little girl would escape from here and leave their house.
Since then, he has often stalked the little girl.
He knew it wasn't good, but he still couldn't control himself.
Every night, he would sneak into her room and watch her sleep peacefully.
Until one day, he heard the sound of car horns coming from downstairs.
At that moment, he knew that the little girl had been caught.
At that time, his heart was extremely painful.
How he wished that he was the one who was caught.
And not a little girl.
But......
Zhou Wei took a few deep breaths, trying to calm his heart.
He knew that if he continued to dwell on this matter, it would only make himself more miserable.
He had to pull himself together.
He must find the masterminds behind the scenes and avenge his wife.
"Zhou Wei, Xiao Wei." There was a knock on the door, accompanied by Dad's voice: "It's time to eat, hurry up."
Hearing his father's voice, Zhou Wei's brows suddenly furrowed.
His hands were clenched into fists, his knuckles white.
If he had the right to choose, he must not come back.
Unfortunately, in this world, there are no ifs.
He could only bear these sins in silence.
He stood up and walked to the kitchen.
His steps were heavy.
Once back in the city, he couldn't get away from his life.
He will be burdened with blood and live in pain.
He didn't want to remember it all.
However, that was his only sister.
He couldn't forget it anyway.
This is his only relative.
Zhou Wei sat at the dining table, lowered his head, and ate in a muffled voice.
Father Zhou looked at his son and felt extremely guilty.
Although he didn't know why his son was hiding it from him, he could feel his son's depression and pain.
He knew that his son was struggling to overcome the wounds inside him.
Father Zhou sighed, "Your father has some things to deal with these days, and he may not be able to take care of you for the time being, so you take care of yourself." If you need help, go to Uncle Li, he is our housekeeper here, you can find him if you have something. 「
Father Zhou patted Zhou Wei on the shoulder, then stood up and prepared to leave.
He knew that his son needed to be alone and didn't want to be disturbed.
"Dad." Zhou Wei raised his head and looked at his father.
Father Zhou turned around and looked at his son kindly, his eyes slightly red.
"I'm sorry, Dad, I shouldn't have hidden it from you, I'm sorry......" Zhou Wei said through gritted teeth.
"We are your parents, your closest people, and it's not your fault that you're hiding it from us, it's just that we don't know." Father Zhou shook his head, "You are a manly husband, you should learn to protect yourself. If you don't say it, you're afraid that we will be sad, so we don't blame you. 「
"Thank you, Dad." Zhou Wei's nose was sour.
"I'm leaving, you rest early." Father Zhou said with a smile.
His smile looked particularly dazzling in Zhou Wei's eyes.
"Wait." Zhou Wei called out to his father.
Father Zhou turned his head and looked at Zhou Wei suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
"I...... I'd like to talk to you about it. Zhou Wei said with difficulty.
"What?" Father Zhou looked at Zhou Wei in surprise.
Zhou Wei took a deep breath, "Something about Xiaoqian."
"Okay, let's go up to the second floor, study." Father Zhou nodded.
......
Den.
Father Zhou picked up the teapot and poured tea.
"Drink tea." He smiled and said, "I know you're having a hard time."
Zhou Wei pursed his lips, "Dad, I'm sorry, I didn't expect to cause you to lose your job and fail to protect Xiaoqian, please punish you."
"How can I blame you, Xiaoqian's matter was originally my negligence, it was my inconsiderate thought that caused her to suffer this treatment, and I should be fully responsible."
"Dad......" Zhou Wei's eyes were red, and tears almost burst out of his eyes.
He didn't know if his tears would put him in a situation from which he would never recover, and he didn't even know if he would be able to continue to live.
However, he couldn't watch his parents be sad.
"Xiaowei, you know what? I really, really like you, and I really like that kid very much. The relationship between your brothers and sisters, I am really envious, Xiaoqian is very sensible, your brother is even better, and his success is all his own hard work. I am very pleased, both of you brothers and sisters. But that's not the most important thing I want to see. Father Zhou put down the teacup and said earnestly.
"Dad, I'm sorry. Zhou Wei lowered his head, and his heart was mixed.
He didn't know how to explain it all.
"Okay, that's it, I'm sure you'll take care of it, right?" Father Zhou looked at his son with a solemn face.
Zhou Wei nodded, "Well, I understand."
"Then I'll go first." Father Zhou stood up and prepared to leave.
Zhou Wei also stood up and sent him out.
Father Zhou returned to the bedroom and looked at his daughter's sleeping face, feeling very distressed.
He gently pulled the quilt for his daughter and kissed her forehead again, "Baby, you must be strong."
He turned, left the room, and gently closed the door.
......
Father Zhou returned to the study, sat on the chair, and fell into deep thought.
"Xiaoqian, Xiaoqian, Dad is for your good, don't blame Dad, Dad can't help it......
Father Zhou closed his eyes, and a clear tear slid down his cheeks, soaking his sideburns.
"Xiao Qian......" he muttered to himself, as if he wanted to etch the name in his mind.
He couldn't imagine what would become of his son.
That kid really seems to be the epitome of himself.
He was so lonely back then, but he didn't give up.
Now, he only hopes that the child can find his own happiness as soon as possible.
He didn't want that child to live with guilt for the rest of his life, like himself.
It's a pity that in this world, there is no regret medicine for sale.
He only hoped that the child would not be stupid again.
Zhou Wei walked to the study and stood in front of the window.
Outside the window, the lights are shining.
Zhou Wei looked at the night scene outside the window, and suddenly felt that his heart was very empty.
It's like that night, I disappeared and was never heard from.
The city, which seems to have been cut off from him ever since......
"Xiaowei. Zhou's father pushed open the door of the study, walked into the house, and walked in front of his son, "Xiaowei, what are you thinking?"
Zhou Wei came back to his senses and smiled faintly, "Dad, didn't you just say that you wanted to chat with me, why are you asking me these strange questions now."
"Xiaowei, actually, you don't have to blame yourself at all." Father Zhou sat on the sofa, "Xiaoqian, that girl, she will think very carefully about everything she does, I believe that she definitely doesn't want to affect you, so."
so as not to tell us. It's entirely my responsibility that she had such an accident this time. 「
After he finished speaking, he looked out the window.
There, it's a straight street.
"Dad......" Zhou Wei wanted to speak and stopped.
Father Zhou frowned slightly, "What do you want to say?"
"Why do you like Xiaoqian so much?" Zhou Wei asked tentatively.
He knew that if he guessed correctly, Father Zhou would definitely know the reason.
Sure enough, Father Zhou was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
For a moment, he shook his head, "I don't know, but I like that girl a lot. She has her own independent mind, she is very smart, very witty, and very kind, and I am really happy to meet her, and I like that girl very much. 「
Zhou Wei nodded in understanding.
However, this understanding does not mean that you can give up.
Zhou Wei didn't want his father to be sad and sad because of this incident.
"Dad, if you want, I'm willing to give Xiaoqian to me. She's a good girl, and she deserves better people to be nice to her. Zhou Wei looked at his father with deep affection in his eyes.
"Xiaowei!" Father Zhou stood up excitedly, "I knew that you wouldn't leave your mother!"
Zhou Wei's eyes were red, "However, I didn't expect that Xiao Qian would ...... Dad, I know you're also sad in your heart, but Xiaoqian is no longer alive, you have to mourn and change. 「
Father Zhou shook his head, "Xiaowei, you won't understand my feelings, I have fought all my life and laid down the country, but when I needed help the most, I couldn't take care of her, this is my eternal pain and eternal regret."
"Dad......" Zhou Wei clenched his fists.
He understands that he is more uncomfortable and painful than anyone else!
"Xiao Qian is the regret of my life, if I wasn't too conceited, maybe she wouldn't have suffered this kind of accident, if I had been a little more cautious, she wouldn't have encountered danger, Xiaowei, can you understand me?" Father Zhou said sadly.
Zhou Wei nodded.
"Xiaowei, I know you like Xiaoqian, I believe that you are a good boy, I have no objection to you marrying Xiaoqian, you can get married, I also hope that you can add Ding to the Zhou family earlier, this is the first generation of men in our old Zhou family, do you understand?"
Zhou Wei nodded.
"I have heard Xiaoqian say everything about you, although Xiaoqian didn't explain it, but her dependence and love for you, Dad sees it all in his eyes, don't let her down!"
Zhou Wei's heart was sour, "Dad, Xiaoqian, she is innocent, she is ...... to save me."
"No matter what the reason is, Xiaoqian is here to save you, your fate is very shallow, and you are destined to pass by. I don't want Xiaoqian to be hurt because of this incident, you have to spend more time with her. Father Zhou sighed.
Zhou Wei felt a warm current in his heart.
"Dad, I promise you, in the future, no matter what happens, I will protect Xiaoqian." Zhou Wei said confidently.
Father Zhou nodded, "That's good
