Thousands of stars

Chapter 28 Running away from home
The sudden arrival of a child brought me not only surprises, but also peace of mind.I am no longer as startled as before, and I am no longer angry when I see reports scribbled by reporters.

Li Yaofan is still busy with work, but because of his children, no matter how busy the day is, as long as he is not on a business trip, he will find time to go home and be with me.He said he wanted two children so that when we were old we would have a lively family.

I deliberately said: "You have a good idea. It is painful to have a child. It is very good to have one. If you want to have two, you will feel the pain."

Unexpectedly, the day after I just said this, I went to the hospital for a prenatal checkup, and was told by the doctor that I was pregnant with twins. So far, it seems that I am well developed and very healthy.

I couldn't restrain the excitement in my heart, and told Li Yaofan the great news immediately. He was holding a very important board meeting and couldn't get away, but he told me on the phone for half an hour.He said that he felt that he was the happiest man in the world, and he wanted to tell the news to the whole world.

Later, as expected, everyone knew about this matter, and blessings came to us overwhelmingly, whether they were known or unknown, or even those who scolded us before, all became kind at this moment, which made me feel all For the warmth, in my short but bumpy life, it is the first time that I feel so satisfied every day.

Another month later, when I was four months pregnant, Xia Xiong's case came to court. After obtaining enough evidence, the police charged the director of the Xia Group with kidnapping, money laundering, and commercial fraud. Chang Xiaxiong.

As a victim of the kidnapping case, I attended the trial as an important witness. In the court, Xia Xiong was still arrogant, and his lawyer even fought with the plaintiff's lawyer, trying to exonerate him.

But the facts are in front of him, how could he get away with it so easily?The plaintiff's lawyer presented all kinds of evidence to the court. In addition to countless physical evidence, he also provided many witnesses.

As one of the witnesses, I was summoned by the judge. When I appeared in court, Xia Xiong looked at me fiercely, as if he wanted to eat me alive.

"Ms. Shen Qianxing, please tell everyone the situation at the time of the case." The plaintiff's lawyer said.

I nodded, disregarding Xia Xiong's murderous eyes, and told all the people present what I had experienced. Li Yaofan was watching me from the auditorium and silently supported me.

When I finished speaking and thought I could leave the meeting, the defendant's lawyer suddenly asked me: "Ms. Shen, can you guarantee that everything you said is true and there is no fabrication?"

"Of course." I nodded with certainty.

"So, are you four months pregnant now?"

I nodded, not knowing what he meant by asking this.

"May I ask, is your child healthy?"

"very healthy."

"According to the timing of your pregnancy, when you were kidnapped, you happened to be pregnant. We know that the fetus is the most unstable in the first three months of pregnancy. If the mood swings are too severe at that time, it is easy to cause miscarriage. You said that you were kidnapped and threatened , even being treated roughly, but you and your child are still healthy, does this prove from the side that my client didn't hurt Neng? Or in fact, he just wanted to discuss with you, but you misunderstood her kidnapped you?"

This lawyer can really talk nonsense, I retorted: "Mr. Lawyer, do you need drugs and guns to discuss things with people?"

"Drug addiction is your own judgment. As for guns, as far as I know there are many undercover police officers at the scene, and the one who threatened you with a gun happened to be an undercover police officer. This is really a coincidence." After the lawyer finished speaking, Then he said to the judge, "In addition, Jiang Qin, the serious crime team in charge of this case, is also an undercover agent who is in charge of Mr. Xia Xiong's case. I have a document here that proves that Police Officer Jiang has a personal grievance with the defendant in this case, so he is not suitable to be in charge. This case."

What personal grudge?With doubts, I watched the lawyer submit a document to the judge. After the judge read it, his expression became serious and he asked: "Defendant lawyer, this matter is of great importance. Apart from the physical evidence, do you have any evidence?" certificate?"

"After many twists and turns, we found Ms. Lin Qian, who was in charge of delivering the baby back then. She was able to prove that Police Officer Jiang Qin was indeed the illegitimate son of Mr. Lin Renyi, and also the half-brother of the victim, Ms. Shen Qianxing."

what did he say?illegitimate child?elder brother?All this happened so suddenly that I froze and my mind went blank.

After hearing the judge's permission, the defendant's lawyer summoned Dr. Lin as a witness. This retired female doctor over 28 years old was a doctor in a maternity hospital [-] years ago.

She said that their hospital accepted a pregnant woman named Jiang Li who was in labor at the time. At that time, her condition was very dangerous and she needed the signature of her family members to perform the operation. And her parents did not show up for a long time, so that the hospital did not dare to deliver the baby rashly and take responsibility.At the critical moment, a man who claimed to be the father of the child arrived late and signed the consent form for the operation, which allowed Jiang Li to enter the operating room and successfully gave birth to a baby boy.After the mother and daughter were safe, the hospital sent her to criticize and educate the father of the child. Unexpectedly, before she opened her mouth, the man gave her a thick wad of money and told her not to spread the matter.

Although Dr. Lin did not collect the money in the end, because of this, 30 years later, this incident still impressed her deeply. She said that she clearly remembered the man's face and the name he signed on the operation consent form. , was Lin Renyi, the chairman of the Lin Group at the time.

After listening to the testimony of the witnesses, the judge's expression was dignified. At the same time, the defendant's lawyer added embellishment: "There are all witnesses and evidences. We have reason to believe that Police Officer Jiang Qin is indeed the illegitimate son of Mr. Lin Renyi. Now I The client, Mr. Xia Xiong, was accused of participating in the commercial fraud case of the Lin Group and kidnapped Mr. Lin's daughter, Ms. Shen Qianxing. As Lin Renyi's biological son and Shen Qianxing's half-brother, I think that Police Officer Jiang is not suitable to participate in this case. investigation, and everything he investigated can no longer be used as evidence in this case."

The judge thought for a moment and announced an adjournment for another day.

When he said that sentence, my hands were already so cold that I lost consciousness, and my whole body was shaking involuntarily.It turns out that Ghost Saber is my father's illegitimate son. It turns out that I have a half-brother. It turns out that my father not only abandoned our mother and daughter, but also betrayed the family 30 years ago!
I hate being cheated the most in my life, but I have lived in a huge lie since I was born. Even my mother, that poor woman, couldn't escape this bad luck.

Why is this happening?how so!
My hand was tightly held, and Li Yaofan, who was always by my side, pulled me into his arms to comfort him: "This is all in the past, don't think about it."

"No!" I pushed her away, "I'm going to ask Ghost Knife to find out how he could be my brother. I don't believe it. If I haven't heard him admit it, I will never believe it!"

Li Yaofan held my hand and refused to let go: "Don't go to Qianxing, you are pregnant, you can't be emotional, you should calm down first."

"No, I can't calm down if I don't ask clearly. If he is my brother, why didn't you tell me? If he is my brother, he should be very angry with my father. How could he avenge my father and frame Xia Xiong? I can't accept this, I really can't accept it! Yaofan, can you imagine that Ghost Saber is my brother?"

"I..." Li Yaofan hesitated for a moment, and comforted me, "Whether it's true or not, don't worry about it anymore, okay, the court will figure out these things, so don't get too excited."

However, it was his momentary hesitation that made me realize something, and asked directly: "Did you already know that Ghost Saber is my father's illegitimate child?"

"Whether you are an illegitimate child or not is not important at all..."

"Answer my question head-on!"

"Yes, I know, but..."

"Don't explain!" I interrupted him furiously, "Li Yaofan, how many times have I told you, don't lie to me again, I hate others to lie to me the most in my life, why didn't you tell me such a big thing?"

"Because I don't want you to get hurt again, Qianxing, don't do this!"

"You keep saying that you don't want me to be hurt, but have you ever thought that knowing the truth from others will only make me sadder! Do you know that?"

"Qianxing, I was wrong, don't be angry, you are pregnant with a child..."

"What's the use of being wrong? Li Yaofan, you are always like this. You keep telling me the truth over and over again. You never know what it's like to be deceived!" He blurted out, "In this case, let me tell you what it's like to be cheated. In fact, your father is not dead at all, he is still alive!"

"What did you say?"

"I said, your father is not dead at all, he is still alive!"

"Qianxing, I don't like you joking with me like this." He became serious, his whole face was pale.

"I'm not kidding you. I'm serious. Your dad didn't die in prison at all. In order to avoid you and your mother, he set up a fake death himself and escaped everyone's eyes. Do you think I Dad is shameless, right? In fact, your dad is no different from my dad, they are all irresponsible men!"

"Shen Qianxing!" Li Yaofan interrupted me, the hand on my shoulder was trembling, "I don't allow you to say that about my dad, he is an indomitable man, he didn't abandon me, he is already dead!"

I laughed at myself and tried not to let my tears fall: "I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you can ask Jiang Qin. He also knows about it. Look at you and tell me to calm down. What about yourself? Now Do you know what it feels like to be deceived? Let me tell you, what you feel now is how I feel now!"

"Qianxing, you won, I feel very bad now, I think we all need to calm down." He calmed down, and told LK next to him with a blank expression, "I still have something to do, you send Madam go back."

"Yes." LK nodded and gave me a meaningful look.

I didn't want to talk to him, turned my head away, and closed my eyes in pain.

Xia Xiong's case was put on hold due to a major change, and Li Yaofan and I also fell into a cold war.

I had the urge to reflect on myself, but I didn't want to admit defeat. Since I met Li Yaofan, I have been deceived by him many times, and I have endured it. Why should I admit my mistake when it comes to his father?
Besides, I did not do anything wrong. It is a fact that Li Zhongzheng did not die. I thought about telling Li Yaofan about it at the first time, but at that time A Ke had just passed away and Xibei was depressed. For some time, it is impossible for me not to promise him.

If I have to say that I did something wrong in this matter, it is probably the way I spoke at the time. I admit that I was angry at the time, and my words were indeed a little too aggressive, but after so many days, he still does not agree. Ken took the initiative to talk to me, and even went abroad without notifying me, which is a bit too petty, since I am pregnant anyway.

On weekends, Aunt Sun accompanied me to the hospital for a routine checkup. In the past, no matter how busy Li Yaofan was, she would spare time to accompany me, but this time she didn't.

I felt depressed, and the doctor seemed to sense my emotions when he examined me, and asked me a few questions.In the end, he told me that I was prone to mild prenatal depression, and I should relax and communicate more with my family.Oftentimes, the company of family members is more helpful in treating antenatal depression than treatment from a professional psychologist, he said.

As for the company of my family, I can’t even see Li Yaofan’s shadow. Doesn’t what he said make me even more depressed?No, Li Yaofan is not the only one in my family, don't I still have my mother?
Because of amnesia, my mother has been living in the country. I have been calling her since I was pregnant, and even planned to pick her up.But every time I call, my mother forgets about my pregnancy, which makes me very helpless.

The doctor said that it is very difficult for my mother to recover from her amnesia. It is already very good to maintain the status quo. She must be in a good mood without too much pressure.Now that Xia Xiong's case has not yet been judged, it's hard to say whether he will be found guilty. If the murderous guy is released, the situation here will definitely be tense, which is not good for my mother's condition.So, I don't want to take my mom over and panic until all the dust settles.

However, this does not mean that I cannot go to the countryside to find my mother!

I suddenly thought of a brilliant idea. Anyway, Li Yaofan is still in a cold war with me, and I need my family to accompany me, so it is better to go to the countryside to accompany my mother. it is good?
Thinking of doing it, I immediately called the driver and asked him to pick me up to the countryside.

"Young Mistress, the Young Master will be back in a few days, you really plan to go out, why don't you let the Young Master come to make a decision." Aunt Sun advised me.

"Don't persuade me. If I want to go, I must go. The doctor said that I have prenatal depression. If I don't go, the illness will get worse. If this is the case, can you be responsible?" I squinted at her.

Aunt Sun hesitated: "How about I call the young master and ask him?"

"What's the use of calling him? Could it be that he said on the phone that I'm not allowed to go, so you're going to find [-] or [-] people to put me under house arrest? By then, I'll be sicker and you will be responsible?"

Everyone says that being rich is self-willed, but now I think that being sick is truly self-willed.

Aunt Sun was on the verge of tears when I told her: "Young Mistress, I really can't worry about you, why don't you let me take a few servants with me, is that okay?"

"There are only a few rooms in my hometown. Are you a group of people going to sleep in the fields? Besides, my mother is also sick. If you scare him and make him sicker, can you take responsibility?"

With a bitter face, Aunt Sun begged: "Young Mistress, at least let me go with you alone."

"Okay, okay, then help me pack my luggage quickly, the driver will be here in a while."

"Okay!" Aunt Sun smiled happily, and hurried to pack my luggage, completely forgetting about telling Li Yaofan.

We arrived in the countryside smoothly. My mother saw me and asked in surprise: "Qianxing, why are you so fat? Look at this round belly, as if you are pregnant."

"Mom, I'm just pregnant."

My mother screamed: "What? You're pregnant? Why didn't you tell Mom!"

I said dumbfoundingly: "Mom, you forgot again, I told you last time."

"Really?" My mother rubbed her head, "Why don't I remember? Hey, look at my memory!"

"Mom, it's okay. I'll be with you every day from now on, so you won't forget." I comforted her.

"That's true. You are not by my side. You have to talk about everything on the phone. It is easy to forget. From now on, I will remember you every day when I see you!" My mother nodded, and suddenly saw Aunt Sun with the big bag behind me, and said excitedly , "This must be my mother-in-law! Oh, Qianxing, you are so serious, how can you let my mother-in-law carry the luggage? Come on, let me do it!"

Aunt Sun was almost dying of embarrassment, and quickly explained: "Madam, you misunderstood, I am just a servant."

"It's the same when you come to me. Come on, quickly bring the luggage!" My mother took the luggage enthusiastically, completely ignoring Aunt Sun's embarrassment.

"Don't mind, my mother is like this." I explained to Aunt Sun.

"Your mother has always been like this. She is very enthusiastic and kind. It's my fault. I misunderstood your family and treated you badly..."

I interrupted Aunt Sun's recollection: "Don't mention the past, everything is better now."

"Young mistress, don't worry, I will take care of you and the child wholeheartedly, and try my best to make up for my past mistakes."

Looking at Aunt Sun's sincere eyes, I nodded. There is no irresolvable hatred in this world. Everything will pass. Only by letting go of the heavy burden can we rush to a new life.

On the night when I arrived in the countryside, my mobile phone was bombarded by Li Yaofan's overseas calls, but I didn't want to talk to him at all, so I simply turned off the mobile phone to try to be quiet.

Later, the phone number of my hometown in the country and Aunt Sun's phone were called over and over again. I refused to answer the call with a straight face. Call, he is going to fire me, so you should help me and stop being angry with the young master."

"You tell him, if he dares to fire you, I'll fire him!" I said very loudly, deliberately wanting the guy on the other end of the phone to hear.

Sure enough, the phone was hung up quickly, and Aunt Sun looked at me sadly.

I asked, "What did he say?"

Aunt Sun: "Master, he said..."

"What are you talking about, hurry up!" I urged.

"He made you wait."

When I think with my toes, I can think of the way Li Yaofan gritted his teeth when he was on the phone with Aunt Sun, but what does it matter, he provoked me first, I just reciprocated him.

make me wait?Hehe, I'm just waiting, is it possible that he can still jump over from the other side of the earth and bite me?

I have no fear of Li Yaofan's threat. I never imagined that three days later, when I was enjoying the leisurely life in the country, Li Yaofan actually rushed over from the other side of the earth. When we met, he bit my mouth hard .

I was fiddled with the ripe green vegetables in the yard at that time, wondering whether such fresh vegetables should be put into soup or stir-fried, when hurried footsteps sounded at the gate of the yard, and then, a pair of hands covered with mud The leather shoes appeared in front of my eyes.

The leather shoes handmade by Italian craftsmen cost hundreds of dollars just to find someone to clean them. You can’t be so capricious if you have money. He rushed over, easily pulled me up on the bench, supported my waist with one hand, pressed my head with the other, and grabbed my lips hard.

A strong bloody breath permeated between his lips and teeth, Li Yaofan finally let go of his mouth in pain, but his body posture did not change, his face was frowned slightly, looking at me at a distance of ten centimeters from me.

"Are you a vampire?" He asked me dissatisfied, with blood still oozing from the corner of his mouth.

"Are you a pervert?" I couldn't get rid of his confinement, so I could only wipe the corners of my mouth with my hands, and stare at him.

"Where did I pervert?"

"Rush in and kiss me without a second thought, what is it if you're not a pervert? Have you seen the house number? What if you kiss the wrong person? What if you kiss me as Aunt Sun?"

bang-

Outside the door, Aunt Sun looked at us in horror, and dropped the freshly picked vegetables on the ground.

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" My mother followed behind with a basket of vegetables on her shoulders. Seeing Aunt Sun's appearance, she hurriedly followed up to ask, and when she turned her head, she was also frightened.

But my mother reacted relatively quickly, she rushed up with a vegetable basket on her shoulders, grabbed a Chinese cabbage in the vegetable basket, and slapped Li Yaofan, cursing as she slapped: "Who are you, stinky rascal! You pervert! Even dare to take advantage of my daughter, I am impatient to live, I will kill you, I will kill you!"

The poor cabbage was so pumped that all the leaves fell off, and only a cabbage was left. My mother quickly threw it away, and immediately replaced it with a sturdier corn, and slapped Li Yaofan on the head.

Now, Mr. Li couldn't take it anymore, he quickly let go of the hand holding me, covered his head and explained: "Mom, don't hit me, I'm Shi Yaofan!"

"What, you're still a beggar? You're so brave, see if I don't beat you to death!" My mother became more energetic, threw away the corn, took out a few overripe tomatoes, and smashed them on Li Yaofan's body. Several bright red flowers bloomed on his white shirt hand-stitched by Italian craftsmen.

This is no longer something that can be cleaned by spending a few hundred dollars. I feel sorry for such an expensive shirt, and finally stopped my mother and persuaded: "Mom, don't hit him, he is Yaofan, Li Yaofan, my husband, you son in law!"

My mother smashed out the last tomato in her hand, she was stunned, and she turned around and asked me: "It's Yaofan, isn't he a beggar? Oh, why didn't you say it earlier, now the market sells tomatoes for seven or eight yuan a catty, What a pity!"

I glanced at the smashed tomatoes on the ground, then at the tens of thousands of shirts on Li Yaofan, and mourned in silence.

Although Li Yaofan's shirt was ruined, my anger still persisted. Even if I found out that he rushed to see me as soon as he got off the plane, and didn't even drink his saliva, I didn't want to forgive him so easily.

On the other hand, my mother, knowing that she had hit the wrong person, felt so guilty that she went to the old Wang's next door to borrow a men's suit, and insisted that Li Yaofan change into it.

"This shirt is full of tomatoes, how can you wear it? Come on, take it off quickly and let mom wash it for you, and you can put on this clean one."

I want to say, Mom, if this shirt is washed by you, it will really be useless!But I just didn't say anything, just stood aside and watched the show.

I saw Li Yaofan reluctantly took off his shirt and changed into Lao Wang's clothes. It is said that the sons of Lao Wang's city don't wear them and take them home to honor Lao Wang. They are very fashionable and they are famous brands. Tell my mother to be careful, don't wear it to him.

How could the clothes be worn badly, but I was almost suffocated.

Hahahaha, what the hell is this?On the excrement-yellow sweater, a row of bright green letters "XIANG NAI ER" was printed, a monkey with a big mouth was printed on the left chest, and a line of small words "Hello Kitty" underneath.But this is not the most shocking thing, the most shocking thing is that Li Yaofan is 1.8 meters 1.6 tall, Lao Wang is [-] meters [-] tall, so when this sweater is worn on Li Yaofan, not only the sleeves are a lot shorter, but also the length is not enough at all. It's a crop top.

I covered my mouth and laughed so hard that my mother kept saying, "It's a good dress, but it's too short, but the color is so bright, it's really a famous brand! Qianxing, what brand is this?" , Why do you have so much English, you help mom translate and translate."

I said: "This is a big foreign brand, called Chanel Monkey, it's so precious!"

My mother suddenly realized: "It turns out that this is a monkey. I thought it was a cat. The foreigner's painting is really abstract."

At this time, even Aunt Sun who was beside me couldn't hold back anymore, and burst out laughing.

Li Yaofan's face turned blue and pale for a while, and finally he broke down in Aunt Sun's laughter, took my hand, and said through gritted teeth: "Come into the room, I have something to tell you."

Li Yaofan dragged me into the room without saying a word, and closed the door with a "bang".

After closing the door, only the two of us were left in this room. An ominous premonition arose in my heart, and I hurriedly said, "Speak up if you have something to say, don't touch me, I'm pregnant!"

"Do you still know that you are pregnant? Have you ever been pregnant like this? Running around with a full belly, and telling people not to tell me, what if something happens? Have you ever thought about the consequences?" He sternly taught Me, because wearing this dress, the more serious I am, the more ridiculous I am.

I couldn't help it again, and laughed.

"You're still laughing!" He was angry, took off his clothes angrily, and threw them on the ground.

He had no clothes on underneath, and taking off his hoodie was equivalent to being half naked. His wheat-colored skin and well-defined muscles were unreservedly exposed in front of me.

In order to maintain my image, I quickly changed the subject and said, "Hey, don't throw it away if you don't wear it. This is Chanel Monkey, a famous brand!"

As soon as I finished speaking, my waist was bound, and then a huge force pulled me over.All this happened so suddenly, by the time I realized it, my whole body was already tightly attached to someone's strong chest. The hot chest was like a blazing flame, so hot that I dared not look directly at it.

I blushed and stammered and asked, "Li Yaofan, you... what are you doing?"

"Punish you!" He almost said these three words close to my ear, but with lightning speed, he held the back of my head and kissed me.

"Good." He pecked my mouth contentedly and asked, "Are you still angry with me?"

"If I say I'm still angry, will you kiss me again?"

"meeting!"

I was about to lose to this guy, so I sighed and said helplessly, "Okay, I won't be angry anymore."

"Then come back with me." He took my hand.

I hurriedly stopped him: "No, I won't go back!"

"why?"

"I've only been here for a few days. My mother is definitely reluctant to let me go. If I take her back together, I'm worried that it will be bad for her condition. You have seen her just now. Her current condition is not suitable for any stimulation. Xia Xiong's The case has not yet been judged, and Jiang Qin..."

I didn't say any more, I looked up at Li Yaofan's expression, his face darkened, and suddenly became serious: "Qianxing, I have been reflecting on these days, I know that I deliberately concealed Jiang Qin's matter, to you It's not fair, I apologize to you, please forgive me."

I was already not angry with him, but now that he apologized, I became a little embarrassed and said in a low voice: "Actually, I should also apologize to you. I shouldn't have kept your father's matter from you."

"Jiang Qin has already told me everything about my dad. Although I was very angry at first and didn't even want to believe it, it's all true after all. I thought about it for many days and decided not to go to my dad. I think He must have made a lot of determination to leave this house at the beginning. He paid a heavy price for this, but he is still unwilling to turn back. I can understand his behavior. If I were to give up everything for you now, I'm willing to even give my life."

When Li Yaofan finished speaking, my eyes were already moist. He said a lot of love words to me, but today's words moved me the most. He is no longer the sharp-edged, unstoppable The Li Yaofan of the first life, I can feel the changes that have taken place in him, he has become more and more kind, tolerant, stable, and mature, and I feel unprecedentedly gratified that our children will have such a father in the future.

"If you want to live here temporarily, I have no objection, but there is something I want to tell you, Xia Xiong's case is about to be closed."

I was surprised: "So fast? What about Jiang Qin's identity?"

"The judge decided that Jiang Qin's identity was too sensitive and disqualified him as a witness, but the police have found a stronger witness that can prove all of Xia Xiong's crimes."

"A stronger witness? Who is it?"

Li Yaofan looked at me, paused for a moment, and answered word by word: "It's Xia Sijie."

"Xiaojie?" I cried out in shock, I couldn't believe that Xiaojie would stand up and prove his father's crime.

Li Yaofan nodded: "That's right, it's Xiao Jie, who offered to testify, but don't worry, I've heard that his injuries have healed and his mental state is not bad. It seems that he did it after careful consideration." decision."

"I want to meet Xiao Jie."

"The trial is coming soon, and he is the most important witness at the moment. I'm afraid you won't be able to meet him for the time being, but I can arrange for you to meet after the trial, as long as he is willing."

"He will be willing, he will!" As I said this, I didn't have a clue in my heart. I wasn't even sure whether he would still like to see me in his lifetime. I could only pray silently in my heart. I hope that after this incident, he can Let go of the past and everything will be fine.
