He clasped her hand so hard, like he was trying to crush her. He grabbed her hand and drove it right up to his neck. She cried out, struggled, and threw the fruit knife hard on the floor. Reaching down, he pushed her away hard, “Don’t treat me like I’m as evil as you are!”
“Xia Feiqing … this life, I hate you! It was you who killed Yuan Yuan! You’re the one who broke my family!”
Xia Feiqing’s eyes tightened.
He really had nothing to say about Zhao Yuanyuan’s death.
He cupped her lower jaw and made her eyes meet his, and his low voice spoke in a dull voice, “Zhao Lanlan, during this time, have you actually trusted me?”
“No! Never! You’re a devil, why should I believe you?” The more you believe, the deeper the pain just gets! She won’t be that stupid again!
He smiled, but his expression was incredibly cool. Those eyes, clouded with a mist of endless hurt and endless disappointment.
“Yes, I should have known that you wouldn’t believe me …” Xia Feiqing’s voice was getting lower and lower and more and more feeble. “But where, you have a little bit of trust in me, you will also give me a chance to explain!”
The look in his eyes made Zhao Lanlan wring her hands in pain. However, another sharp pain, she didn’t want to try it again, not even a little bit, she didn’t want to bear it again.
It really felt so bad to be played by him! So bad that she wanted to die …
With shaking hands, she wrenched his hand, still holding her lower jaw, away inch by inch, “Count on me to beg you to let me live, okay? For the sake of the child, don’t appear in my world again. You want revenge or not, you do not like me or not, this life … I have been ruined by you …”
“Please, just give me a break, okay?”
She used the word ‘beg’ several times in a row, as if he were the most hated bacteria in the world. Just touching him was an unbearable torture for her.
Heart, it hurt like it was going to stop beating.
Xia Feiqing’s hand, stiffened and dropped.
Did she want to clear the air with him so badly that she didn’t, even, have to listen to his explanations?
He looked at her with a wooden nod, “Good. Starting today … my revenge, it’s over!”
Each word, like a stone, squeezed from between his lips. So stiff, so painful. Her eyes narrowed in response, and she wondered what was wrong with her, sour tears roiling out all at once.
“Zhao Lanlan, I promise you that in the future, we will never meet again!”
Never want to see again …
For a long time, a long time, Zhao Lanlan’s mind echoed those four words. The door was flung heavily shut, and the silhouette had disappeared inside the door.
The small space was so cold that you shivered.
So …
From now on, between her and Xia Feiqing, it is true that there is no longer any relationship. Even the child … he also do not want …
That’s good! Couldn’t be better!
But why did it seem as if her entire being had been instantly emptied?
Zhao Lanlan, you deserve to die! That man is the one who killed Yuan Yuan! It’s best to end it this way!
In the past few days, Zhao Lanlan lived like a walking corpse. She couldn’t stay in this city, and after contacting her cousin, she packed her things and planned to go to Hong Kong.
Now it’s just a matter of waiting for Hope’s case to be closed. However, a few days go by and there is still no information back.
She’s going to sue him.
She had to sue him for the sake of her dead Hope!
She packed all her things, packed her bags and put them in the corner. ID cards and passports and visas, these things, but still left in the Xia family, she had to go over once.
After making enough mental preparations, Zhao Lanlan knocked on the door of Xia’s house.
“Lanlan?” Upon seeing Zhao Lanlan outside the door, Mrs. Xia was surprised. Pulling her back, her eyes reddened immediately after, “You’ve finally come back! We’ve all heard about your sister’s matter …”
“Mom … No, Auntie, I don’t want to talk about Hope today.” She changed her tone.
Mrs. Xia was stunned. Clapping her mouth, “Yes, yes, yes, since you’re back, we won’t talk about this. You come in first.”
She pulled Zhao Lanlan and went inside.
“I don’t know what’s going on with you and Feiqing, it’s making us elders anxious. Ask him, he doesn’t even say a word. The police side comes for questioning every day, saying that you are going to sue him, is that true, Lanlan?”
“It’s true.” Zhao Lanlan’s attitude, calm to the point of abnormality, she held back the tip of her sour nose and continued to speak calmly, “He privately imprisoned Yuan Yuan, abused her, and even let her … take drugs, that’s why Yuan Yuan committed suicide.”
“Imprisonment? Abuse? Drug use?” Mrs. Xia was somewhat shocked back to her senses by these six words. And then, shaking her head back and forth, “No, Lan Lan, my son is not this kind of person. No matter how bad he is, he is not bad enough to force your sister to take drugs. You must be mistaken!”
A mistake?
How she would have liked it to be a mistake if she could …
“Auntie, I’ll go in first to get something.” Zhao Lanlan didn’t want to carry this topic any further and turned around to head towards the bedroom.
Push the door open and walk in.
She was stunned.
I thought that at this hour, Xia Feiqing must be at work, but he was actually at home.
Apparently, he had not been doing well at all these past few days either. His entire body was devoid of its former vigor, and his lower jaw had developed a faint stubble, making him look even more disheveled.
In his robe, leaning back on the couch. Eyes half narrowed looking out the window. Eyes so dark and deep that one couldn’t see through what they were thinking.
At the sound of movement, he looked back and met her eyes.
Four eyes, each other are stunned. A variety of emotions came up in the heart in turn, difficult and painful.
His eyes sank slightly and he was the first to open his mouth, breaking the stagnant atmosphere, “Thought I was at work, so you purposely picked now to come over?”
“Yes.”
She returned the favor and turned to pull the drawer of her nightstand.
He stood up and looked at her with a sneer, “Thanks to you, the brass is considering suspending me.”
Zhao Lanlan made a movement. It seemed that this matter had an impact on his career path.
“In a short while, when things come to a head, you’ll not only be suspended, you’ll go to jail!” Her tone was cold and hard.
“The water has fallen … out,” he murmured the words mockingly. If she had given him any credibility, the case would have been solved long ago. He really wanted to know what her expression would be when the results of the case came out a few days later.
Perhaps …
She’ll still think the police made a mistake.
Mournfully, she thought, dropping her eyes, only to see that she had her passport and visa in her hand.
Xia Feiqing’s hands tightened, “What do you want this for?”
“… This is my business.” She lowered her head, “It’s not about you.”
“You’re leaving the country?” His voice was colder, “Planning to leave the country with my child?!”
“I’ll wait until the case is over before I leave.” Zhao Lanlan gripped the visa so tightly that the stiff cover page knocked painfully against her palm. The two were so close, so close that even her heart ached. She wanted to see him through so badly, but …
