The best time is because of you

Chapter 8

Cai Wentao threw himself on the ground, the wound on his back burst open again, the blood was soaking his back, the loss of blood made him feel dizzy, as for the pain, his whole body was so numb that he couldn't feel it.Maybe Cai Junfeng's people will find him soon, he knows that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, but his overstretched body can't lift the slightest strength.

The footsteps of "Shusha" came from far to near, and a pair of white women's short boots moved in front of his eyes. Cai Wentao raised his face with difficulty, and was facing a beautiful face.

Shu Ya's eyes were wide open, she bent down and stared at the blood-stained face for a long time before calling out hesitantly, "Brother?"

Cai Wentao grinned, and drooped his head weakly. Shuya stood beside him, hesitated, then walked away quickly.Hearing the sound of footsteps gradually receding, Cai Wentao twitched the corner of his mouth bitterly, complaining that others would do nothing to save him, and that he had failed others first. Fortunately, he had no hope and no disappointment.

After a while, a car pulled up beside him and stopped, the door opened, Cai Wentao resigned to his fate and closed his eyes, but Shu Ya's voice came from next to his ear: "Brother, you should work hard yourself, otherwise, I will I can't help you."

Cai Wentao buried his face in the cold ground without moving, thinking silently: Is it a hallucination, is it a hallucination?

Shuya stretched out her finger and poked the back of his head: "Dizzy, or dead?" Seeing that he still didn't respond, she took the opportunity to step on him twice, "Let's say the anger from back then, anyway, you're fainted now won't know."

Cai Wentao finally confirmed that it was not a hallucination, so he raised his upper body with difficulty and raised a hand: "You..."

Shuya grabbed his arm and put it on her shoulder, and said viciously, "What are you, get up!"

Cai Wentao struggled to get up, most of his body leaned against her, the two of them staggered, and finally moved to the car door, Shuya threw him into the back seat of the car and rubbed her sore shoulders: " Shen dead, like a pig."

Still the same virtue as before, with an unforgiving mouth, but Cai Wentao felt kind, and lying in the back seat of the car in a daze, he heard her say: "The injury is not serious, should I take you to the hospital?"

"No, no," Cai Wentao panicked, "Don't, don't let Cai Junfeng find me..."

"What?" Shuya was shocked, "You mean that the second brother hurt you like this?" After waiting for a while, she didn't hear Cai Wentao's answer, she turned on the roof light and looked at him carefully, only to see that he was short of breath, his cheeks were flushed, Seeming to be in a high fever, she reached out to touch his forehead.

Cai Wentao suddenly grabbed her hand, and said in a sad tone, "I'm not willing to die like this, I'm not willing... Please, don't hand me over..."

Shuya stared at him blankly for a moment, and finally, with a helpless "ah", she hurriedly got into the driver's seat and started the car.

Cai Wentao had been having nightmares all the time. For a while, he dreamed that he was being burned and his whole body was in moxibustion pain; Then the dream turned into his younger sister being dragged into a mental hospital, and he couldn't help crying; the last scene in the dream was Cai Junfeng pointing a gun at his head, smiling gracefully, and slowly pulling the wrench...

"Ah—" Cai Wentao screamed fiercely, sat up suddenly, panting heavily.Slightly calming down his frantic heartbeat, he looked around. This was a spacious bedroom with heavy curtains hanging down, and the room was dimly lit. It was impossible to tell what time it was. Holding a handful of cards, he muttered: "Odd, Even, Odd..."

"What are you doing?" Cai Wentao said hoarsely.

The corners of Shuya's eyes slanted, and she smiled sinisterly: "I'm considering whether to give you to the second brother or sell you to the second brother."

Hearing what she said, Cai Wentao didn't feel panicked at all. If he was really going to hand him over, he would have handed him over long ago. She was just talking cruel words.Although she has been in a coma all the time, in a daze, she also felt that someone was feeding her water and taking medicine, taking ice packs to cool herself down, and seeing the two big dark circles under her beautiful eyes, which were obviously caused by taking care of herself all night .

"Thank you." He sincerely thanked you.

Shuya threw down the cards boredly: "It's better to stop talking about such nonsense. You have been asleep for a day and a night, what have you dreamed about? You shouted hot, cold, and parents, ah!" Min, crying like a child, are Uncle Jiu and A Min okay?"

Cai Wentao did not answer, and quickly checked his condition. All his clothes had been stripped off, and dozens of wounds, large and small, on his upper body were messily wrapped in a layer of gauze. Obviously, the person who bandaged his wounds was not very good at wrapping people.

"Where are my clothes?" he asked eagerly.

Shu Ya glanced at his gauze-wrapped body in disdain: "You need to cover it up, you're a mummy now, I'm not interested in giving it to me for nothing."

Cai Wentao lowered his head and said nothing.

Shuya looked at him again. In her memory, he always paid attention to appearance and manners. Even if she didn't like him, she had to admit that at that time, he was indeed personable, elegant and calm.But the person in front of him has withered hair, sunken eye sockets, pale and thin face with almost bruises, bruises on his cheeks, and scars all over his body. He must have suffered a lot.

Shuya's heart softened, and she decided not to hit him again: "Your clothes are stained with blood, dirty and torn, I piled them all in the bathroom." She handed him a large female nightgown, "I There are no men's clothes here, so you can make do with it first."

"Thank you." Cai Wentao took the nightgown, because his body was seriously injured, his movements were clumsy and slow.

Shuya put on the nightgown for him: "I'll get you something to eat."

Gobbling down two bowls of vegetable and meat porridge, Cai Wentao was still a little bit unsatisfied. When he looked up, he saw Shuya staring at him dumbfounded. He blushed and wiped the corners of his lips with two paper towels. Appears rude.

"You—" There were too many questions in her mind, Shuya cleared her mind, and brought up the most important one first, "What happened between you and Second Brother, does Uncle Jiu know?"

Cai Wentao was surprised: "How long have you been back to this city, haven't you heard any rumors?"

"The day I met you, I just returned to this city, and after that," Shuya twitched the corners of her lips, and said unwillingly, "I was afraid that you would die in my house, so I kept guarding you and dared not leave.

"Oh," Cai Wentao smiled apologetically, "Speaking of it, the matter is very simple. In the battle for heir between me and Cai Junfeng, he won completely and took charge of the family business. I lost miserably and fled for my life."

"You mean," Shuya frowned, slowly digesting the information she had received, "Second Brother took over the position of Uncle Jiu, and then wanted to take your life, so you are now in the process of fleeing to save your life middle?"

Cai Wentao nodded: "That's about it."

"Are you kidding me?" Shuya snorted, "I can understand the cruelty and ruthlessness of family fighting, but no matter how ruthless it is, it will just leave you with nothing and be reduced to the streets. Could it be possible that you can still issue an order to hunt and kill in the end of the world? Unstoppable? Do you think this is the real version of "Shanghai Bund" or "Great Shanghai 1937"? What's more, both are the sons of the Cai family, and Uncle Jiu will never allow this to happen."

"What if," Cai Wentao smiled lightly, with a sad look on his brows, "my father is unconscious, and I am now a wanted criminal?"

"Wanted, wanted criminal?" Shuya was tongue-tied.

"Yes, a wanted criminal!" Cai Wentao repeated, with a bleak smile, "The charge is the attempted murder of my own father."

Shuya stared at him blankly. After a while, she let out a long breath and asked, "Can you tell me the details of what happened?"

Cai Wentao glanced at her quickly: "Do you trust me?"

"Brother," Shu Ya sighed, "You are a human being, not an animal. Although you are a bit of a jerk, I don't think you are crazy enough to murder your own father."

Cai Wentao couldn't laugh or cry: "Thank you for the compliment."

He told Shuya the general situation: Because of the bet that year, Cai Jiu was completely disappointed with Cai Wentao, coupled with dissatisfaction with Cai Wentao and Zhou Yue's severance, the father and son had a very tense fight, and finally, Cai Wentao moved out of the Cai family mansion and lived with Zhou Yue openly. In a rage, Cai Jiu claimed to sever the father-son relationship with Cai Wentao. Since then, the father and son have not contacted each other for half a year.Until more than a month ago, Amin called Cai Wentao and told Cai Wentao that his mother was injured and hospitalized, so he rushed to the hospital to visit her.From Mrs. Cai's cry, Cai Wentao learned that his father finally decided to change his will and appointed Cai Junfeng as the heir to the family business. For this reason, a dispute arose between his parents. fracture.Cai Wentao was upset that his mother was injured, so he rushed back to Cai's mansion to find Cai Jiu's theory. Unexpectedly, he was attacked as soon as he entered the study and lost consciousness.

"After I woke up," Cai Wentao said, "I saw my father laying motionless on the ground beside him, with a pool of blood flowing from the back of his head, and I was holding a blood-stained stone carving handicraft. There was no breath, at this moment, Ye Qingsong and a few servants rushed in through the door, and then Amin also rushed in, she just glanced at the situation, and screamed uncontrollably."

"How did this happen?" Shuya murmured, and tremblingly grabbed the cup and took a sip of cold water, which calmed down the chaotic mood, "Uncle Jiu, is his life in danger, and Amin, how is it now?" gone?"

"I also want to know the answer to these two questions you asked, and my mother, I don't know if she is doing well now." Cai Wentao lowered his head, lowered his eyes to cover the floating light in his eyes, the person whose life and death are unknown is after all himself My biological father has taught me to love myself for more than 20 years. No matter how much resentment I once had in my heart, now there is only concern and worry.

"Then, what happened next?" Shuya asked.

"Later," Cai Wentao smiled bitterly, "I became a suspect who attempted to murder my own father as a matter of course. I committed murder, and on the day of the incident, my dad just made an appointment with his lawyer to go through the notarization procedures of the new will. In this way, my motive for committing the crime was also established, and the only person who can prove my innocence is me Dad, but he has been in a coma, and maybe he will never wake up one day."

"So," Shuya pursed her dry lips, "you escaped?"

Cai Wentao nodded: "Once the charge is convicted, I probably won't have the chance to get out of the prison alive in my whole life. I am really unwilling to die with such a charge of killing my father in a muddle. I escaped by going to the hospital for medical treatment. The police issued an arrest warrant, and Cai Junfeng also sent a large number of people to track down my tracks, and offered a huge reward for clues about me. Some punishments. These days, I have been hiding and running around, until I met you last night."

"Perhaps," Shuya persuaded hesitantly, "You should wait patiently, maybe Uncle Jiu will wake up soon?"

"Heh—" Cai Wentao let out a sharp sneer, "Do you think Cai Junfeng will give my dad a chance to wake up?"

"Why not," Shuya categorically retorted, "Second brother is also the biological son of Uncle Ninth just like you!"

Cai Wentao sneered mockingly: "Four years ago, I found out that the report about Uncle Heng and Aunt Heng was secretly plotted by Ye Qingsong, because he has a close relationship with me. If it was revealed, others would only think it was me. Instigated him to do this, and I thought he wanted to help me out of good intentions, but I used the wrong method to cover it up for him. After that, my father no longer trusted me; the bet between me and Chu Jie, In the beginning, it was Ye Qingsong who told me that he found out that you and Chu Jie had a close relationship, and that he suggested trying to make you fall in love with Chu Jie. In this way, even if you refused to continue the marriage contract with me, Cai Junfeng would not have the chance to marry you. On that day, it was not entirely a coincidence that my father and Cai Junfeng arrived at the scene of the car accident in time. Since then, my father gave up on me and turned to vigorously cultivate Cai Junfeng; It played a big role, when everything was a foregone conclusion, I realized that he has always been Cai Junfeng's person."

Shuya's face gradually turned pale, but she still murmured stubbornly: "I don't believe it, Second Brother is not that kind of person."

Cai Wentao looked at Shuya squarely, with a frank expression: "The reason why I told you all this is not to excuse the mistakes I made back then. A mistake is a mistake. I should bear the punishment for my mistake. It's just that I hope you I can understand what kind of person Cai Junfeng is."

"Stop talking!" Shuya turned and rushed out of the room.

Cai Wentao sat calmly on the spot, motionless. After a while, he leaned on the wall and walked slowly to the window, opened the curtain, and a ray of sunlight came in through the window. Shuya sat on the lawn in the yard, looking at a plant The bright and fiery kapok is in a trance, and the setting sun in the afternoon shines on the young and beautiful girl, pure as if not stained by a speck of dust.

He stumbled into the bathroom, and he saw his pile of bloody clothes thrown in the corner, and threw all the blood-stained clothes into the washing machine. After setting the program, he crawled back to the bed, and he had to hurry up and recharge his batteries. At this moment, I don't know if I will have a chance to sleep peacefully in the future.

……

Although the Cai family is not considered a famous family, they are also emerging rich and famous people. The gossip about the wealthy family and Xinmi makes people's blood boil the most.Shuya only took a couple of laps outside before finding out about the latest hot topic——Cai's version of the rich family's grievances and grievances.All the content can be summed up as follows: the father prefers the illegitimate son born in the outer room, the son of the original spouse is not angry that the family business is left behind, and the attempted murder of the father caused the old father to become a vegetable. After the incident, he escaped from prison and fled. Witnessing his elder brother killing his father, he was overstimulated for a while and lost his mind.Of course, in the story, Cai Junfeng is more of a positive image of affection and righteousness, while Cai Wentao is a selfish, cruel and ruthless second-generation ancestor.

Shuya was driving around aimlessly. Although Cai Wentao had always been at odds with him in the past, based on his intuition, he didn't seem to be lying.However, she has known Cai Junfeng since she was a child, and he has always treated her very well, just like a brother who truly loves her sister. If all this is an illusion, she really can't believe that a person's disguise can last for more than ten years .

Unknowingly, the car drove to the front of Cai's mansion, Shuya got out of the car, a little at a loss, what was she doing here, directly questioning Cai Junfeng about what Cai Wentao said?In this way, Cai Wentao's whereabouts will definitely be exposed. No matter how much you don't like this person, he is the son of Uncle Jiu and Amin's elder brother. Shuya couldn't do it no matter what.

Just as he was dazed in a daze, he suddenly heard someone shout happily: "Aya!" A car had parked behind him at some point, and Cai Junfeng got out of the car with a warm smile and a soft voice, "When did you come back, how silly are you?" Stand at the door and not go in?"

Gao Suwen and Ye Qingsong followed closely behind and got out of the car one after another, with joyful smiles on their faces as they reunited after a long absence.

Shuya's eyes turned red: "Second brother, I just came back last night, I heard, I heard..."

Cai Junfeng's face became solemn, and he patted Shu Ya's shoulder lightly in a comforting way: "Go into the room and talk."

As soon as she entered the room, Shuya couldn't wait to ask: "Second Brother, are those rumors outside true? What happened to Uncle Jiu and A Min?"

Cai Junfeng didn't answer, and first ordered the servant to bring a cup of milk tea to Shu Ya, remembering that she always liked to drink this kind of sweet and greasy drink.Then, he looked at her calmly. After four years of absence, the pink baby fat on both sides of her cheeks had disappeared, faded away, and began to show the graceful style of a mature woman. Her short, thin hair made her look attractive again. Kind of playful.Her eyes were as clean as before, and she had not become cynical or bitter because she had been emotionally hurt.He has always understood that her mind is simpler and purer than any of them. If there is anyone in this world that he doesn't want to hurt, the first one is this girl in front of him.Cai Junfeng secretly sighed in his heart: It's really not the right time to come back!
"Second brother?" Shuya stared at him suspiciously.

Cai Junfeng smiled: "Aya, do you still remember what I said to you once?"

Shuya didn't understand, so he said too much to her, who knows what sentence he was referring to.

"These messy things in the Cai family have nothing to do with you. You don't have to get involved. Just be happy every day as before."

Shu Ya stared at him blankly, Cai Junfeng smiled again, as if he still regarded her as the little sister who didn't know much about the world, and stretched out his hand to stroke her soft short hair.

Shuya lowered her head slowly, a chill rose up her spine, how could there be such a person in the world, who looked at you with warm eyes, said caring and cherishing words to you, but turned around, but could hurt you mercilessly, use you.After a while, she raised her head again and asked cautiously, "Can I visit Uncle Jiu and A Min?"

"None of them are here."

"Not here?" Shuya frowned in confusion, and suddenly her face turned pale, "You mean Uncle Jiu and Amin have already..."

Cai Junfeng smiled: "No, it's not what you think. Dad is unconscious and can only stay in the hospital to maintain his breathing and heartbeat. Amin's condition is very unstable, and he can get better care in the nursing home." He took Picking up the car keys, "If you are in a hurry to see them, I will accompany you there now."

"Mr. Cai." Gao Suwen shouted hurriedly.

Cai Junfeng glanced at her, but didn't mean to avoid Shuya.

Gao Suwen reminded: "You are going to entertain some important guests tonight, and they are already on their way."

If Cai Junfeng realized something, he quickly glanced at Shuya, she was looking at him eagerly, with a look of disappointment on his face, he thought for a while, and said: "Aya, ask A Song to accompany you to visit father and Amin, are you okay?"

Shuya nodded repeatedly, and breathed a sigh of relief. She only cared about meeting the person she wanted to see, and who would accompany her was not the point.

The car slowly drove out along the driveway. At the same time, another car drove into the gate. Through the window glass, Shuya saw an important guest of Cai Junfeng get out of the car. The handsome face and handsome figure were shrouded in a faint halo, like a perfect illusion.

Shuya suddenly felt dizzy, raised her hand to her forehead, closed her eyes for a moment, and when she opened her eyes again, the car had already driven to the gate, she turned her head and looked at him from a distance.As if feeling something, Chu Jie turned his head to take a look at the car that was driving out of the gate. The dark glass blocked his sight. After a little hesitation, Cai Junfeng warmly greeted him: "Young Master Chu, welcome to the humble house."

After the car drove for a long distance, Shuya let go of her grip on the hem of the clothes, only to realize that sweat had soaked a corner of the hem of the clothes.

"Cai's Enterprise has a business partnership with Chu Jie." Ye Qingsong, who was driving the car with a blank expression on his face, suddenly said.

Shuya wiped the sweat from her palm vigorously: "Chu Jie, what is your identity?"

"No one knows his background, but he was once known as a genius boy. He was admitted to a prestigious university at the age of 13, and went abroad to study for a master's degree at the age of 16. After returning to China, he once worked under Uncle Jiu. It took only half a year. Now that he is independent, his career has developed rapidly. As early as three years ago, his wealth and status were enough to keep pace with the Cai family. Uncle Jiu said that Chu Jie was willing to lower his profile in front of him. It’s definitely not because of inferiority.”

Shuya bent her lips mockingly: "I actually thought he was just the owner of a small bar. I don't care if I want to admit that I'm stupid."

"The bar is just Chu Jie's whim to play tickets. It's nothing to do for yourself. It's not a serious business. It's closed a few years ago, Aya," Ye Qingsong said with concern, "This person is not serious. Too deep for you."

Shuya couldn't tell whether this concern was genuine or not, she turned her head to look at him with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong?" Ye Qingsong felt uncomfortable when she saw her.

Shuya smiled inexplicably, and turned her eyes to look out the window at the rolling traffic.

When she saw Mrs. Cai for the first time in the intensive care unit, Shuya almost mistook her for the nurse who took care of Cai Jiu. In her memory, Mrs. Cai was noble and elegant. Because she was well-maintained, she was 50 years old and looked at least younger than her actual age. Be ten years younger.But in front of her was an old woman with gray hair and a haggard face. Shuya really couldn't connect the two.

Compared to Shuya's surprise, Mrs. Cai's reaction was calm. She only looked up at the moment Shuya entered the ward, and then continued to massage Cai Jiu's leg muscles without saying a word.

When Shuya was Cai Wentao's fiancée, Mrs. Cai was quite dissatisfied with this prospective daughter-in-law. Every time she saw her, she always had a lukewarm attitude, with a hint of contempt.Shu Ya is not a soft and docile person, with a mentality of "you look down on me, I don't want to dump you yet", and never gets close to this future mother-in-law.Therefore, the two of them can be said to have no past relationship, and for a while, Shuya didn't know what to say.

On the hospital bed, Cai Jiu, who was unconscious, was standing still, with no trace of life on his gray face. He was once considered a powerful figure, but now he could only rely on the infusion of nutrient solution to maintain his weak life.Looking at him, Shuya felt sore, took a cotton swab and soaked it in the water cup, and gently moistened Cai Jiu's dry lips, a burst of tears suddenly poured into her eyes without warning.Turning her head, Shuya quietly wiped the corners of her eyes with her fingertips: "Auntie, have you considered sending Uncle Jiu to go abroad for treatment? My stepfather has a lot of contacts in the medical field, and maybe he can help you contact a good medical expert."

Mrs. Cai's hand, which was massaging Cai Jiu, paused, she was silent for a moment, and said, "No need, Cai Junfeng doesn't want his father to leave this ward."

Shuya suddenly remembered what Cai Wentao said: Do you think Cai Junfeng will give my dad a chance to wake up?With the connections and wealth of the Cai family, if Cai Junfeng had the heart, he could have sent Cai Jiu abroad for medical treatment, but now there is only one reason why he is hanging half dead: he doesn't want his father to wake up one day.Shu Ya was bewildered, emotionally unwilling to accept this conclusion, but she didn't know how to explain Cai Junfeng's actions.

"Shuya, I know that I was not good to you before, and I dare not ask you to do anything, but, can you see Amin and your friendship, and visit her often?" When mentioning her daughter, Mrs. Cai was silent. Mists formed in her ashes-like eyes, and she pleaded earnestly, "With your care, maybe she can live better."

Shuya solemnly promised: "Don't worry, I will try my best to take good care of Amin."

Walking out of the ward, Shuya couldn't help but look back again. Mrs. Cai was sitting in front of the bed, holding Cai Jiu's hand and gently massaging her face with a resigned indifference.The relationship between Cai Jiu and his wife is not harmonious. Shuya has vaguely heard before that Mrs. Cai looked down on Cai Jiu's background, but in order to save the family business that was going into decline, she had to marry. After marriage, she always felt wronged and cold towards her husband. Indifferent, over time, Cai Jiu's heart also became cold, and the husband and wife can be described as "respecting each other like ice".No matter how it was, in this difficult time, she was able to accompany her husband and never leave him. For the first time, Shuya had a real respect for her.

Cai Wenmin's nursing home is the same as Cai Jiu's hospital, both of which are the city's top medical institutions. Cai Junfeng will never leave any complaints about these obvious things.But I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, there is quite a distance between the two places. When Shuya arrived at the nursing home, it was already late, and according to the regulations, it was already past the visiting time.Fortunately, Cai Junfeng had already personally called to greet him, and Shuya was able to meet Cai Wenmin smoothly.

Cai Wenmin's situation was not as serious as the rumors said, she just closed herself up and lost the ability to communicate with the outside world.No matter what Shuya said to her, she lowered her head and played with her fingers without any response.In the end, Shuya sighed helplessly: "Amin, go to bed early, I will come to see you in two days." She patted the back of Amin's hand lightly.

Cai Wenmin suddenly screamed in horror: "Go away, go away, don't touch me—" She rushed to the corner and curled up into a ball, trembling all over.

"Amin—" Shuya ran to her side in a panic.

A Min kept screaming, waving her hands wildly,
Shu Ya stretched out her hand to comfort Amin, but she didn't dare to touch her body, her hand was frozen in the air, she turned her head and looked at Ye Qingsong who was guarding the door for help.

"I'll call the doctor." Ye Qingsong hurried out.

Shuya felt that the corner of her clothes was pulled by someone, turned her head, and was facing Cai Wenmin's black and white eyes, her eyes were clear and full of prayers, sad and earnest, her lips moved slightly, and said something silently talk.

Shu Ya was shocked, and before she had time to react, Ye Qingsong rushed into the ward with the medical staff.Watching Cai Wenmin being restrained by the medical staff and seeing the sedative injected into her veins, Shuya stood there in a daze, as if all her strength had been drained from her body, unable to move or speak.

On the way back, Shuya was unusually silent, and Ye Qingsong looked at her worriedly from time to time while driving.The car stopped in front of the gate of Shu's house, Ye Qingsong asked worriedly: "Aya, how are you?"

Shuya shook her head, her voice choked up: "I'm very sad, very sad!"

Ye Qingsong turned the car around after seeing Shuya staggering into the house.

The banquet was not over yet, Cai Junfeng was talking and laughing happily with the guests, out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of Ye Qingsong passing by the door of the banquet living room, he tapped the corner of his lips with a napkin, and bowed to the guests with a smile: "Excuse me."

Out of everyone's sight, Cai Junfeng held back the elegant smile on his lips, and asked lightly, "Did you notice anything unusual?"

Ye Qingsong stood behind him. Knowing that he couldn't see him, he still shook his head involuntarily, told Shuya's performance from beginning to end, and then said: "With her character and friendship with Cai Wenmin, It’s normal to feel sad.”

Cai Junfeng nodded slightly: "Arrange people to watch her."

Ye Qingsong's blue eyes were full of doubts: "Aya and Cai Wentao were almost enemies back then, so it's unlikely that he will be taken in?"

"There is a good saying, I would rather miss it than let it go," Cai Junfeng chuckled, "This girl is a bit stupid, unless she has never met her, she will never ignore Cai Wentao."

The room was pitch black, Shuya leaned against the door weakly, stood with her eyes closed for a while, and reached out to fumble for the light switch by the door.A gust of cool wind blew across her face, and she screamed in horror, before her voice escaped her mouth, a big hand tightly covered her mouth.

Cai Wentao listened attentively to the sound outside the door, and after confirming that there was no danger, he put down his hand covering Shuya's mouth, and turned on the light.

Shuya stared at Cai Wentao in a daze, unable to react for a while, almost forgot that there was such a person hidden in the house, fortunately she forgot, otherwise with Cai Junfeng's shrewdness, how could she not show her flaws.

Seeing Shu Ya's blank look, Cai Wentao thought she was frightened by his behavior just now, and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, I thought..."

The nerves that had been tense all day seemed to be broken suddenly. Shuya sat softly along the door on the ground, and couldn't help crying bitterly.Cai Wentao also sat on the ground opposite her, with his head bowed wearily: "I'm sorry, during this period of time, I've almost reached the point where all trees and trees are in danger."

Filled with resentment and finally found a breakthrough, Shu Ya beat and beat Cai Wentao, crying and cursing: "What do you think, that I betrayed you? Do you think that everyone is just like you guys? Calculate it every day." Go, calculate others, calculate yourself, think that everyone is as dark as you?"

Cai Wentao let her beat her without saying a word, letting out the suffocation in her heart. Shu Ya felt a little more relaxed. Looking at the pale Cai Wentao, she felt a little sorry when she remembered that he was still seriously injured: "Did I hit you just now?" Your wound?"

Cai Wentao lowered his head and smiled: "It's nothing serious."

Shuya wiped the tears from her face: "I saw your parents, and Amin."

Cai Wentao raised his head suddenly, staring at Shuya with piercing eyes.

"Uncle Jiu has become a vegetative person, and he relies on the infusion of nutrient solution to maintain his life. Your mother is taking care of him. Amin is in a nursing home, and his condition is not very serious. Don't worry. Second, Cai Junfeng cares about face, and the expenses in life will not be treated badly. killed them."

"Don't worry, so what can I do?" A wave of heat rushed into his eyes, Cai Wentao closed his eyes, and begged Shu Ya, "Can I trouble you to visit them often in the future? Cai Junfeng will show some kindness to you, With you watching, my parents and Amin will live better."

Shuya nodded: "Even if you don't tell me, I will visit them often."

"Thank you!" Cai Wentao struggled to stand up while supporting the wall, "Then I won't bother you, I should go too."

"Let's go?" Shuya was surprised, and only then noticed that Cai Wentao had put back on his original suit, probably due to drying, the clothes were wrinkled, and although they had been washed, there were still many bloodstains clearly visible on the neckline and sleeve elbows. It was dilapidated, "You can't even walk steadily now, where else can you go?"

Cai Wentao remained silent.

Shuya thought about it, and realized something: "Are you planning to go to Miss Zhou's place, shall I drive you there?"

Cai Wentao shook his head: "The relationship between Zhou Yue and me was completely over as early as the third month after my dad claimed to sever the father-son relationship with me."

"Ah?" Shuya was surprised, and then she gloated and teased, "Didn't you fall in love back then, transcending life and death, and transcending races?"

Cai Wentao snorted lightly, and laughed at himself: "I overestimated my own charm, thinking that she loved me simply, and had nothing to do with any other external conditions. Maybe what she loved was not my money, but my money. Young Master Cai’s vigor and ease, as well as other people’s admiration and respect for Young Master Cai, once he loses the support of power, status and money, these scenes will disappear. Cai Wentao, who has nothing and lives a mediocre life Not what she loves."

"Oh, seeing you like this, I really, really—" The tears on Shu Ya's face were not yet dry, but she smiled again, "Hahaha, I'm so happy."

Cai Wentao couldn't laugh or cry, such a result turned his desperate struggle into a joke. If he hadn't been the person involved, even he would have thought it was ridiculous, and now he can only feel that he really didn't know what to do at that time.He didn't know exactly what happened to Shuya when she went out in the afternoon, but from her performance after she came back, it could be seen that she was in a bad mood. It's okay to make fun of it.

After laughing, Shuya jumped up from the ground refreshed, patted the dust-free clothes, and said, "You're hungry. Before you wake up in the afternoon, I've already prepared the meal. Just heat it up. You wait for a while, you will have food soon."

Cai Wentao touched his shriveled stomach. He was indeed very hungry. Since he started fleeing for his life, he hadn’t eaten a single meal in normal life. When he woke up in the afternoon, Shuya was afraid that his stomach would not be able to bear it for a while, so she gave him a meal. Drank two bowls of vegetable porridge at the bottom.Cai Wentao hesitated for a moment, and decided to have a full meal before talking about leaving.

Sure enough, Shu Ya brought out the food very quickly. It was an ordinary home-cooked side dish, and it tasted quite delicious. If it used to be, it would not be unusual in Cai Wentao's eyes, but at this moment, the food in front of him is no less than a delicacy in the world.

After eating like a storm, Shuya served him another bowl of stewed chicken soup with red dates: "Drink more, you have lost too much blood, and you need to replenish it."

Cai Wentao took a sip of the soup. The chicken and red dates were stewed in the soup. The soup tasted sweet and delicious. He praised: "I didn't expect you to be able to cook."

"There are a lot of things I know, you just don't know," Shuya said rather complacently, "Today is too late, tomorrow I will go buy some bird's nest, do you think it is better to use blood bird's nest to replenish blood, or to use official bird's nest?" it is good?"

Cai Wentao bowed his head and kissed the soup, his nose was sore, when he was desperate, the person who made him feel a little warmth from the bottom of his heart turned out to be the person he hated before.

Shuya didn't notice Cai Wentao's subtle mood swings, and looked at his clothes: "Remember to tell me the size of your clothes later, and I'll buy you a few sets of clothes tomorrow."

Cai Wentao put down the bowl: "Aya, don't bother, I'll be right away..."

"Leave right away, isn't it?" Shuya interrupted him, and said seriously: "You have said this once before, so let me ask you, after leaving my place, do you still have a place to go?"

Unexpectedly, she would be so straightforward. Cai Wentao was stunned. All the people who had friendship with him were covered by Cai Junfeng. All the roads to leave the city were blocked, so he had nowhere to go.Cai Wentao looked at Shu Ya, the struggle within their family had nothing to do with this girl, he had been very sorry to her, he really shouldn't drag her into unnecessary troubles, nodded calmly: "I will soon Get out of town."

"Brother," Shu Ya sighed, "In front of me, you don't need to have so many twists and turns, just speak up when you have something to say. I think it's better to keep everything simple so that everyone won't be tired."

Cai Wentao smiled helplessly: "Aya, do you know that harboring a wanted criminal is also a crime, and Cai Junfeng, if you let him know that you took me in, he wouldn't dare to do anything to you on the surface, but you are a lonely girl. It’s so easy to create an accident.”

"I've seen my second brother this afternoon, and he didn't know you were with me."

"It's only a matter of time before you are found here, whether it's the police or Cai Junfeng."

"Then what do you think," Shuya asked earnestly, "how late is it, and how early is it?"

Cai Wentao thought about it and said, "Within three days at the earliest, and within seven days at the latest."

"Okay," Shuya nodded, "You stay here with me to recover from your injuries. Within three days, I will find a way to help you leave City S. If I haven't done so by then, it's not too late for you to leave. , there is only so much I can do for you."

Cai Wentao was slightly moved: "Aya, you really don't want to take such a big risk for me."

"I'm not for you, but for Amin and Uncle Jiu, Amin, she—" Thinking of Cai Wenmin's sad and earnest eyes, Shu Ya's nose was sour, and tears poured into her eyes uncontrollably, "I saw Amin's Eyes, maybe she's not insane at all, she's begging me..."

Cai Wentao was stunned, his voice trembling: "Is she pretending to be crazy?"

"At first, I thought she was begging me to take her away from that place. On the way back, I realized that the word she didn't make a sound was clearly the word 'big brother'. It turned out that she wanted to Beg me to help you, she is not sure if I can meet you at all, she just begs me with a faint hope."

Cai Wentao's eyes were full of pain.

"Brother, don't let down Amin's painstaking efforts." Shuya spread her palms to cover the tears in her eyes, "Actually, I don't know if I did this right or wrong. If one day you make a comeback, then today I will Saving you is tantamount to indirectly killing the second elder brother, if you don't kill Boren, Boren will die because of it."

Cai Wentao looked at her puzzled: "Don't you have any resentment towards Cai Junfeng?"

"If what you said is true, how can there be no grievances, but you can't let others die just because you have grievances? For example, I also have grievances towards you. Although the bet was instigated by others, But you are the one who finally nodded and agreed, but I never thought of asking you to die, at most, I just gloated unkindly when I saw your misfortune."

Cai Wentao was silent, having known her for many years, he seemed to have never really understood this girl, watching her pack up the dishes and go to the kitchen, "Aya." He suddenly said.

Shuya turned around.

Cai Wentao solemnly promised: "If there is such a day, I can make a comeback, then I will definitely give Cai Junfeng a way out."

Shuya nodded, with an unprecedentedly serious expression: "Remember what you said today!"

The next day, Shuya went to the cemetery to pay homage to her father, then strolled around the street, bought a few sets of new women's clothing for the season and some blood-enriching and beauty supplements such as bird's nest donkey-hide gelatin, and also inquired about Chu Jie news, did not go home until evening.

As soon as she entered the house, she threw the big and small bags on the ground and asked eagerly, "How is it? Did you notice anything unusual?"

Cai Wentao leaned against the wall next to the window, looking out through the gap in the curtains: "As expected, you have been watched."

Shu Ya's bright eyes dimmed in an instant, and she sat down on the ground slumped: "Second brother's thoughts are really, really he is very careful!" If Cai Wentao hadn't been careful, telling her not to rush to buy men's clothes, maybe It's been revealed by now.

Cai Wentao packed up the scattered things on the ground, looked back at Shu Ya who was downcast, and comforted softly: "I'm not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry for?"

Shuya glanced at the worn clothes on his body, and said sullenly, "I can't buy you any clothes."

"Just for this?" Cai Wentao laughed dumbfounded, and gathered the clothes on his body, "It doesn't matter, I can handle it with this suit."

"Why don't you wear my clothes?" Shuya thought about it, and became cheerful again, "Why don't you dress up as a man, you are very handsome, maybe you can get away with it."

Cai Wentao's face turned blue, this girl really held a grudge, and at this time, she still didn't forget to make things difficult for him from time to time.

Cai Junfeng holds the palette in one hand, and fills in the canvas with a pen in the other. Whenever he paints, it is the moment when he feels the most peaceful. When he was young, his ideal was to be a painter. Now, painting is still his Favorite thing to do.

Ye Qingsong walked into the studio: "Brother Feng, we have searched every possible place, and there is no trace of Cai Wentao."

Cai Junfeng devoted himself to adding purple to a piece of cloud. His paintings have always been free-spirited, with no rules to follow. From childhood to adulthood, only Shuya thought his paintings were beautiful. That girl never lied. Because it does look good in her eyes.

Ye Qingsong stood behind him, waiting patiently.

After painting the last stroke, Cai Junfeng threw down the brush, but asked something irrelevant: "What is Aya busy with?"

Ye Qingsong recounted Shuya's whereabouts for a day.

"She inquired about Chu Jie?" Cai Junfeng smiled and shook his head, "This girl is really affectionate."

Ye Qingsong frowned: "Brother Feng, Cai Wentao..."

Cai Junfeng picked up a wet towel and slowly wiped off the paint on his hands: "Cai Wentao was seriously injured and couldn't run very far. A living person can't just disappear without a trace. Someone must have taken him in."

"You doubt Aya?"

Cai Junfeng smiled, noncommittal: "Let's release a piece of news, just say—" He paused, "Just say that my father's condition suddenly deteriorated, and he might die at any time."

Seeing the news that Cai Jiu was critically ill, Cai Wentao threw down the newspaper and rushed to the door. Shuya, who had been on guard, blocked the door before him: "You can't go out now."

Cai Wentao frowned: "Get out of the way!"

"Calm down, okay?" Shuya persuaded patiently, "The news that Uncle Jiu is critically ill may not be true, what if it's fake news to lure you to show up, you go out rashly like this, Wouldn't it just happen to be delivered to someone's door?"

"You also know that if it's true, I won't even see my dad for the last time!" Cai Wentao impatiently stretched out his hand to pull Shuya away, "Get out of the way!"

Seeing that he was really unreasonable, Shuya got angry and kicked his knee fiercely, just hitting one of his wounds, Cai Wentao knelt down on the ground in pain, Shuya took advantage of the situation and knocked on the top of his head twice: " Did your head get flooded, or was kicked by a donkey? Knowing that someone was watching you outside, you went out this door, let alone seeing Uncle Jiu for the last time. I’m afraid you left earlier than Uncle Jiu. Since you are in such a hurry Go to die, don't let me save you at the beginning, I dragged you a big man into the door through untold hardships, and I had to wait on you all night in fear, is it easy for me? Do you think that by now, your life will be returned to you alone Fate, think about Uncle Jiu, think about A Min, who are you worthy of?"

Cai Wentao sat on the ground with his head in his hands, and didn't say a word, letting Shuya scold her. When she finally stopped, he said dully, "I was beaten by a donkey."

"Huh?" Shuya didn't understand for a while.

"I was hit twice on the head by a donkey just now." Cai Wentao added.

Shuya glared at him angrily, but also breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he should have calmed down.

Cai Wentao fell backwards, lying on the floor with his hands behind his head, staring at the ceiling for a while, suddenly smiled wryly, and murmured: "You have committed your own crimes, you can't live."

Anyone with a good eye can tell that among the three children of the Cai family, Cai Jiu is the one who loves Cai Wentao the most. Back then, knowing that Cai Wentao was not as capable as Cai Junfeng, he still chose to let Cai Wentao and Shu Ya get engaged. In fact, he had designated Cai Wentao as the family business The heir, if Cai Jiu hadn't been extremely sad and disappointed, he would never have announced that he would break away from the father-son relationship. Perhaps, the following series of messy things would not have happened.

For Cai Wentao's behavior of emphasizing sex and despising his father, Shuya strongly despised: "You only understand now, it's too late!" She glanced sideways, saw his red eyes, and couldn't bear to say the thorny words after all, "When this You can't be in a hurry, how about this, I'll go to the hospital to visit Uncle Jiu first, you wait for my news at home, if Uncle Jiu is really, really dying, no matter what, I will find a way for you to see him On the last side."

Cai Wentao's gaze slowly moved from the ceiling to Shuya's face, his eyes were empty, as if his eyes were barren, without a trace of life.

"What's the matter with you?" Shuya's heart trembled.

Cai Wentao closed his eyes and smiled awkwardly: "It's only now that I realize that I'm useless."

"That's true," Shuya agreed instinctively, but suddenly became vigilant, "You don't want to lose all hope and want to die, do you?"

Cai Wentao twitched the corner of his mouth lightly: "No, I just feel very tired."

Shuya leaned against the door with her arms folded, and looked down at Cai Wentao, his eyes were slightly closed, and tears leaked from the corners of his eyes.

"Hey—" she touched him with her toes, "Do you know what I hated about you the most?"

Cai Wentao opened his eyes and looked at Shuya.

"You and your mother have a common problem, that is, they regard themselves too much as human beings and others are too humane. So now, when I find that others can also treat you as human beings, I can't stand it."

Cai Wentao opened his mouth, but he couldn't refute.

"If you don't want to be a coward, just live a good life for me." After saying a word, Shuya ignored him and walked into the bedroom on her own.

Cai Wentao lay motionless on the ground, scenes of the past reappeared in front of his eyes, everything has a cause and an effect, and the result of today is exactly the cause he and his mother planted in the past. After a long time, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He breathed out again slowly, and then opened his eyes, his deep eyes filled with tranquility.

When Shuya came out of the bedroom, she saw Cai Wentao standing in the middle of the hall, with her head slightly lowered, as if she was contemplating something. When she heard the door opening, he raised her head, and she changed into the clothes she had gone out with.

Glancing briefly at Cai Wentao, Shu Ya said, "I'll go to the hospital right away."

"Could you—" Cai Wentao hesitated, "Changing my medicine for me?"

Shu Ya's eyes circled around him, probably accidentally touched the wound during the tugging before, a small amount of blood seeped out of his clothes on his back, she nodded, "Well, I'll change your medicine first before leaving. "

Asking Cai Wentao to lie on the bed in the bedroom, Shuya removed the gauze and took a closer look at the wound. The other small wounds had little effect on the body. The most serious wound stretched from the left shoulder to the lower right waist. It was long and deep. It looked a bit hideous, she applied a layer of liquid medicine to the wound, the cold liquid irritated the wound, Cai Wentao couldn't help but twitch, Shuya pressed his back: "Don't move around."

Her hands were warm and soft, as if an electric current had flowed through her heart, Cai Wentao suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, and distracted her attention by speaking: "How is Aunt Heng, why didn't you come back with you this time?"

"My mother," Shuya said casually, "It's pretty good. I immigrated to California with my stepfather last year."

"What?" Cai Wentao raised his upper body suddenly, "Aunt Heng remarried?"

"Lie down, the medicine is on the way!" Shuya gave him a dissatisfied look, "Don't think that I don't know what you men are thinking, I always think that men can be as flirtatious as they like, but women can only guard one man for a lifetime regardless of life or death. .”

Cai Wentao obediently lay back on the bed: "I didn't think so, but Uncle Heng and Aunt Heng were famously loving couples back then, so it was quite surprising."

"Half of the reason I came back this time is because of this. I married my father's wife. I must come back and say hello to him," Shuya continued, covering the wound with a layer of gauze. Talking, "Actually, this is also my father's last wish."

Cai Wentao was surprised: "Uncle Heng, how could he—?"

"My father is different from any of you." Speaking of her father, Shuya's tone was full of pride. "He was devoted to my mother during his lifetime. When he knew that he was going to die soon, his greatest wish was to have a sincere heart." The person who treats my mother well will replace him and accompany my mother to her old age. Since my father passed away, my mother has not been in good health. Uncle Chen is an excellent doctor. He has been widowed for many years. He is handsome, honest and kind. The most important thing is that he treats my mother sincerely, and I am very relieved to entrust my mother to such a person. If my father is alive in heaven, he will also feel gratified."

Shu Ya motioned Cai Wentao to sit up, and wrapped gauze around his body, the way he wrapped the wound was much more skillful than the first time.In front of him, she bent down and tied the gauze with a knot, the fluffy hair on the top of her head brushed his nose inadvertently, smelling the fragrance of her hair, Cai Wentao couldn't help being moved.After fastening the gauze, Shuya threw a piece of clothing to him, seeing him in a daze: "Hey, why are you in a daze?"

Suddenly regaining his senses, Cai Wentao asked in embarrassment, "You don't mind at all that your father's position is replaced by someone else?"

Shuya glanced at him and said seriously: "The year my father left, my mother was only 35 years old. After eight years of guarding, she was only 43 years old. My father is gone, but my mother will have a long life in the future. I can't always be by her side, so I will let her die alone? What's more, I always think that the love between husband and wife lies in the loyalty and cherishment during life, which is far more important than the remembrance after death. If I get married in the future, I will ask the other party to treat me wholeheartedly when I am alive, as for after I die, I would rather he have his own happiness, rather than live in the sadness of remembering all the time."

Cai Wentao sighed sincerely: "So you still have such an open-minded side, I didn't realize it before!"

Shuya sarcastically said, "Did I have any good points in your eyes before?"

Cai Wentao sneered: "Didn't I know I was wrong now? Confucius said that we should allow others to make mistakes."

"Has Confucius said such a thing?" The corners of Shuya's eyes twitched slightly, and the originally charming Danfeng eyes became more and more captivating.

"The original saying is: If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good about it."

"Sophistry!" Shuya sneered, packed up the small medicine box, and walked out the door.

Watching her walk to the door, Cai Wentao suddenly called out: "Aya."

Shuya turned her head: "What's the matter?"

Cai Wentao took a deep look at her and said solemnly, "Thank you!"

Shuya tilted her head in confusion, muttered in a low voice: "I don't understand!" and turned to leave.

Cai Wentao lowered his head and fastened the buttons on his clothes, one by one, slowly and carefully.

Just now he was fully dressed, but Shuya came in again, holding a stack of cash and a mobile phone in front of him, glanced at these two things, Cai Wentao smiled at Shuya: "You, see?"

"I'm not dead." Shuya said angrily.

"Aya," Cai Wentao explained, "I really plan to leave after you go out, not because I don't trust you."

"I know, two, since Cai Junfeng has become suspicious of me, this place is no longer a safe place. He is a very smart person. If he wants to trick me, I might sell you out. I don't even know it yet. "Shu Ya sighed helplessly, "It's stupid, there is no way, the gap between people is so big."

"It's not stupid," Cai Wentao shook his head, "You're just not good at calculations and you don't care about calculations. It's great that you are like this!"

"That's right," Shuya nodded without humility, "I also think I'm pretty good."

Cai Wentao laughed dumbfounded.

Shuya pointed to the mobile phone in front of him: "I have never used this number, and no one else will know. After I go to the hospital to see Uncle Jiu, no matter what the situation is, I will call you to tell you, or if I find In order to help you leave the city, I will also contact you. If I have not called you, you must not take the initiative to call me, let alone go to the hospital." She handed him a car key again, " I will also leave the car to you, and I will try my best to distract the stalkers later, you should see the opportunity before leaving, find a safe place to hide first, and don’t let me know your whereabouts, to be honest, I am a person You have no ambition, and you are afraid of pain and death, if you are tortured to extract a confession, you may be sold."

Cai Wentao sighed, "If you really get to that point, you can sell me, it's better than letting you suffer punishment."

Shu Ya put her hands on her cheeks, and said distressedly: "The problem is, if you are sold, it is not worth much money. To be a coolie, you are not physically strong enough; to be a ladyboy, you are too old; to be a pretty face, your face is not white enough. "

Cai Wentao stroked his forehead and smiled wryly, she really never forgot to hurt him.

After explaining everything, Shuya looked at the worn clothes on Cai Wentao, feeling quite regretful: "I promised to buy you a set of clothes, and I don't know when I will have the chance to fulfill this promise."

Cai Wentao looked at her with a warm smile in his eyes: "Remember it first, I will come to ask you for it."

Through the gaps in the curtains, Cai Wentao focused on Shuya's receding figure. She was wearing a new autumn dress of the season. feel her beauty.
