Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Qiu Bailu immediately no longer wanted to leave. She turned around and faced him face to face, "What kind of jewelry is it? How can I trust you?"

"It's a very beautiful natural black pearl. I can't force you to believe it, but I guarantee that what I said is true."

He really didn't lie to her about this, because Qiu Bailu remembered that pearl, which was once her mother's favorite piece of jewelry, because her mother wore it in many photos.Qiu Bailu also inquired about the pearl with her father, and heard from her father that the pearl was her mother's dowry, but later it was lost for no reason, and Qiu Bailu's mother was depressed for a long time because of this.

"At that time, the Qiu family's business was on the rise, and your mother probably didn't have much cash to spend, so she chose to use jewelry to atone for her sins, but she probably never thought that her relics would be used in the end. to buy her company."

"Are you enough? No matter how many wrong things my mother has done, she has already paid for it with her life. If you think hers is not enough, then there are mine, my children's." Qiu Bailu suddenly couldn't continue. .

For some reason, Huo Dongheng let go of her hand after hearing this.

After leaving the hospital, the cold wind became more and more biting. Standing in the cold wind, Qiu Bailu didn't feel cold at all.

Perhaps compared with her heart, this temperature is nothing at all.

Although Huo Dongheng used some shady method to keep Qin Zhen from getting away, Qiu Bailu still believed that he would come to pick her up, because Qin Zhen never broke his promise.Sure enough, after waiting for more than half an hour, Qiu Bailu saw Qin Zhen pushing the car over from a distance.

The bicycle was bought by Qin Zhen from the flea market. He spent an afternoon polishing it, but now the bicycle that has been carrying Qiu Bailu up and down has become dilapidated. It's completely broken and can't be ridden anymore.

Qin Zhen's face was painted, and there was a bright red bloody cut on his lips. Qiu Bailu felt distressed when he saw it, and raised his hand to help him wipe the blood, but he was afraid of hurting him.

But Qin Zhen shook his head nonchalantly, "It's okay, just now I accidentally bumped into a rock when I was riding, and the car might be scrapped."

For a person like Huo Dongheng who doesn't suffer, he hates Qin Zhen so much that he will find a way to get revenge on him. When a car hits a rock, Qiu Bailu knows that Qin Zhen must have lied to prevent her from worrying. She didn't expose him, but Breathing in the air-conditioning, he said distressedly, "Why are you so careless? After riding this road for so long, you can't hide from any rocks. This car is broken like this, what do you need it for?"

Qin Zhen chuckled, grabbed Qiu Bailu's hand and put it in his pocket, "Hands are so cold, have you been waiting for a long time? This car might be able to come back to life after going back for repairs. After all, after riding it for four months, riding it out I have feelings, so I don’t want to throw them away easily.”

"You can express feelings while riding a bicycle, you are too affectionate." Qiu Bailu gave him an annoyed look.

Qin Zhen rubbed her hands, "You just know? I said I had a crush on you for many years, but you never believed it. I'm really serious."

Qin Zhen's eyes were so sincere that people couldn't look directly at them.

Qiu Bailu didn't believe it before, and always felt that he was making fun of herself, but after so much and when she had nothing, Qin Zhen still didn't leave her, so Qiu Bailu couldn't believe it.But so what if you believe it, she is no longer the former her, Huo Dongheng successfully destroyed everything about her, leaving only a shell.

The road down the mountain is very long because there is no means of transportation.Qiu Bailu followed behind Qin Zhen. His tall body blocked the wind blowing in front of her, so that she would not feel too cold.Qiu Bailu followed him, walking down the mountain step by step.

When she was halfway up the mountain, Qin Zhen asked her to stop and rest for fear that she would be working too hard.No one expected that the two of them found a stone on the side of the road to sit firmly, and Huo Dongheng's car followed.

He pushed down the window, sat in the car, looked up at Qiu Bailu, "It's too cold, you're not feeling well, come up, I'll take you down the mountain."

Qiu Bailu glanced back at him, but didn't move.

Qin Zhen smiled and said, "Mr. Huo should go down by himself. There is frost on the road, so you must be careful when driving, otherwise you will fall into the mountain stream, and I am afraid that no matter how much money you earn, you will have no chance to spend it."

Of course, Qin Zhen knew the reason for those thugs he met just now, but now that Qiu Bailu is with him, just thinking about this is enough to make him put the unhappiness out of his mind , concentrating on killing Huo Dongheng as the most important task at present.

Huo Dongheng just ignored his words, ignored Qin Zhi, and just stared at Qiu Bailu intently, "Get in the car and come with me."

Qiu Bailu shook her head, and took a step towards Qin Zhen's direction, "I came with him, and I'll go with him too. Don't bother Mr. Huo."

"Have you heard, Xiaobai doesn't want to talk to you at all, stop stalking, get out, get out!" Qin Zhen laughed, clapping his hands exaggeratedly while laughing.

Huo Dongheng's face was more ugly than ever. He stared at Qiu Bailu for a while, then stepped on the accelerator, and the car rushed down the mountain like an arrow off the string.

*It was an unusually cold day, Qin Zhen turned on the heater at home to the highest level, and drove Qiu Bailu to bed early to sleep.

After sleeping until midnight, Qin Zhen felt something was wrong. When he woke up, Qiu Bailu's room was really empty.

He crawled to the balcony in the dark, and saw Qiu Bailu wearing a down jacket and cotton shoes, curled up on the old sofa in the middle of the balcony, staring blankly at the sea level in the distance.

"You..." Qin Zhen was about to get angry, but Qiu Bailu immediately shook her finger, and she pointed to the distance, "Look, it's snowing."

This is the first snowfall in Binhai City after the New Year. The snow didn't fall heavily at first, but it fluttered like a gorgeous dream.Qin Zhen sat down, and Qiu Bailu curled up even smaller to make room for him. He stretched out his hand and put his arms around Qiu Bailu's shoulders. Qiu Bailu leaned her head on his chest, listening to Qin Zhen's chest. In the heartbeat, I feel very relieved.

When she was young, Qiu Chengjia was always away from home, and Huo Dongheng was busy with both studies and career, so he didn't have much time to accompany her. When she was lonely, Qin Zhen would always rush to her side at the first time.They witnessed each other's growth, and he has been guarding her where she can't see, until now.

During the time when she lost her child, Qiu Bailu was so sad that she almost wanted to die.If Qin Zhen hadn't secretly taken him away from the hospital, she might not have survived to this day.

Betrayed by relatives, with nothing left, she tasted all the misery in the world overnight, she couldn't cry, tears flowed back into her heart, and slowly, in that early winter, her fragile heart was drowned and frozen.

"Why don't you sleep?" Qin Zhen asked her. Her shoulders were so thin that no matter how many times she was hugged, she couldn't get used to it. She was so thin that it made people feel sour. "A nightmare again?"

What happened to Huo Dongheng during the day, the two of them had such a tacit understanding that they didn't mention it. He was afraid that the more he talked, the more sad Qiu Bailu would be.She had shown incredible strength these past few months, but the more she did, the more he felt uneasy.

He felt that she was like the sea before the storm, under the calm, there was a stormy sea that could destroy everything.

"I think of the past, do you still remember Xiang Baozhu?"

The Xiang family is in the jewelry business, and was once a famous family in Binhai City, but because of investment failure, the Xiang family building collapsed.Xiang Baozhu, like Qiu Bailu, is also the only daughter of the Xiang family, and was once the apple of everyone's eye.

Qin Zhen didn't pay much attention to these people in the shopping malls, but after the bankruptcy of Xiang's family, Xiang's father was forced to jump off the building by his creditors because of his high debts. .

Qin Zhen nodded, "Xiang's precious daughter, I heard that she has gone abroad."

"Well, I went to Canada and got married. When she left, I sent her off. I also have some friendship with her. When her family's business was not good, she was asking me to help her new villa. Design, her father's assistant told her that her family's business could not continue, the company would close down, and she would have no money to spend. Do you know what she said?" Qiu Bailu's eyes were a little dazed, she didn't need Qin Zhen's answer continued, "She looked at the man for a while, and then asked in a crying voice, what about my new fur this year? I have already planned to go skiing in Switzerland with my friends, who will pay for me?"

"It's ridiculous, isn't it? We rich girls, outsiders see us as glamorous and seem to be omnipotent. But in fact...we don't know anything, we are nothing. I remember my etiquette teacher once told me that appearance For ordinary people, it is just a icing on the cake, but for us, it is everything, because without the appearance of becoming a graceful and luxurious one, our inner emptiness is pathetic."

She smiled and stretched out her hands, her ten fingers were like peeling onions, delicate and beautiful, "Look at these hands, do you think they can do the rough work of washing dishes and sweeping the floor? Can you imagine how rough and calloused they are? If not Married to Huo Dongheng and wanting to please him, I'm afraid I will never step into the kitchen in my life. I was raised so well by Qiu's family that I can do nothing but paint. A woman like me and Xiang Baozhu, we The education we have received since we were young means that we don’t need to work hard or struggle, we just need to enjoy ourselves. When we were young, we were taken care of by our family, and when we grow up, we were taken care of by our lover. When we are old, we naturally have children to take care of us. Like a piece of fine and fragile porcelain, expensive but flashy. We need others to take care of us all our lives, but if we do encounter some wind and rain, we can't even protect ourselves. We are so incompetent, but we think we are omnipotent."

She smiled extremely beautifully, but underneath the smile was extremely sad.
