Chapter 117
"What?" Yu Xingyuan was startled and stood up.

"You know, in my current situation, I might have to go in and squat for two years..." Lu Zhengnan's voice was hoarse: "She is still following me, isn't she suffering?"

"Zhengnan, don't think so pessimistically." Yu Xingyuan tried to comfort him.

But he shook his head: "I'm not pessimistic, I'm objective. After two consecutive bombardments, I can't stand it anymore."

Yu Xingyuan couldn't speak anymore, and turned his eyes away, his eyes were also sad.

"Okay, don't feel sorry for me. People, they always get together and leave. Anyway, I have only been with her for a year. Even if we are separated, I will gradually forget it. A lifetime is still long..." Lu Zhengnan It seemed to be comforting him, and it seemed to be comforting himself, but as he talked, his voice became lower and lower, and in the end, he couldn't speak any more.

"Chu Xiao will not agree." Yu Xingyuan pressed his shoulder: "She will not abandon you when you are down."

"That's what I'm most worried about." Lu Zhengnan sighed: "She has a stubborn temper and a real heart. I'm afraid she won't agree."

"If you want me to tell you, don't..." Yu Xingyuan still wanted to persuade him.Such a loving couple, no one can bear to see them parted.

Lu Zhengnan still just shook his head: "Now that I'm leaving, I can still leave her a house and some money to settle down. If I really can't give her anything, being together makes me feel worse than being apart."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and entered the house under the pretext of putting down the hoe, so that Yu Xingyuan could not see his red eye circles.

Yu Xingyuan stood in a daze in the garden, feeling that this life is too impermanent...

After returning from Yunshui Pavilion, Yu Xingyuan went to the hall, arranged work, and flew to Shanghai that day.

When Qizhen received his call, it was time for dinner. Ye Chuxiao never went back to make soup after that day. Now she can only beg the chef to cook a small stove for her in the restaurant near the hospital. And hard.

She hasn't come back yet, so Qi Zhen is answering the phone in the ward.

"Hey, brother, what do you want from me?" He asked knowingly.

"I'm coming to Shanghai, let's meet up." Yu Xingyuan's words made him a little startled, but he replied with a smile: "I take care of the child, I can't leave, why don't you come to the hospital?"

"Don't you even give me a chance to meet alone?" Yu Xingyuan asked in a deep voice, "Third brother, do you need to make things so extreme?"

Qi Zhen was silent for a while, but still smiling: "Since you are an uncle who has come to Shanghai, why don't you come to see the child?"

What he said made Yu Xingyuan speechless. After a while, he sighed: "Okay, I'll come over."

After Qi Zhen reported his address, he hung up the phone with a calm expression.

Four or ten minutes later, Yu Xingyuan arrived at the hospital, and happened to meet Ye Chuxiao in the lobby who had brought food back.

She asked in surprise, "Brother, why are you here?"

Yu Xingyuan was in a complicated mood, but after all his years of experience in the officialdom, he was still able to remain calm and smiled: "I'm here on a business trip, so I happened to come over to see Mi Lier."

At this time, the elevator door opened, and a large number of people who went out to buy food squeezed in. She and Yu Xingyuan were also separated, and the two stood in two corners.

Yu Xingyuan heaved a sigh of relief, facing her now, he really didn't know what to say.

Going upstairs and entering the ward, when Qi Zhen saw Yu Xingyuan, he stood up and gave up his seat with an enthusiastic attitude.

Yu Xingyuan sat on the chair next to the ward, looked at the still unrecovered rice grains, and talked to her for a while with a sigh.Ye Chuxiao filled the porridge and came to feed her, so he got up and walked to the side, and said softly to Qizhen, "Let's go to the stairs to smoke a cigarette."

Qi Zhen glanced at him, but followed him out after all.

When he reached a secluded place, Yu Xingyuan stopped, turned around and looked at Qi Zhen, with a sad tone: "Third brother, can you really let the fourth one go? Anyway, we are brothers for so many years."

"How can I have a brother who steals his wife and daughter like this?" Qi Zhen raised his eyebrows.

"Third brother, it was after you and Chu Xiao had been separated for many years that fourth child was with her. He didn't snatch her from you abruptly. Why is this called taking a wife?" Yu Xingyuan tapped his knuckles on the window sill: " Let's talk about Mi Li'er, isn't the fourth brother good enough for her? Even the last time you messed with Shi Lei, causing Chu Xiao to have a miscarriage and infertility, the fourth brother also forgave you, why couldn't you be more tolerant towards him? It wasn't his fault either."

"It's not his fault, it's also the fault of the Lu family." Qi Zhen insisted.

"Okay, even if it's the Lu family's fault." Yu Xingyuan nodded: "Then you've already wiped out the Lu family, so what else can you do?"

Qi Zhen's eyes froze slightly, then raised his chin: "I still have the first dawn."

Yu Xingyuan took a deep breath, and shook his head slowly for a long time: "To be honest, the third child, now, even I feel that Chu Xiao's choice of the fourth child is the right choice. Do you know that he told me this morning What, he said he wanted to divorce Chu Xiao, so as not to drag her down, what about you? She could have lived a peaceful and happy life, but you pushed her into the fire pit again and again, how dare you say you love Chu Xiao ?”

Qi Zhen was speechless, and turned his head to one side, not looking at him.

"Third brother, your obsession is too heavy, and you will destroy yourself sooner or later." Yu Xingyuan patted him on the shoulder: "Leave room for others, and room for yourself. You have to forgive others and forgive others."

After finishing speaking, Yu Xingyuan didn't look at Qizhen again, and walked back to the ward, stood by the bed, watching Ye Chuxiao feed the rice grains, after a while, he said in a low voice: "I have something to do at night, I have to go first, I have something to do later. I'll see you again when I'm free."

Ye Chuxiao was busy, so she raised her head and smiled at him: "Okay, brother, hurry up and get busy."

Yu Xingyuan touched Mi Lier's hair again, turned and left, walked to the door and turned back, looked at her blankly, and sighed secretly in his heart...

****************************
After Yu Xingyuan left, Qi Zhen stood outside for a long time before returning to the ward. The moment he saw Ye Chuxiao, he thought of Yu Xingyuan's words again, but it was nothing else, but the words that Lu Zhengnan wanted to divorce Ye Chuxiao. There is a hint of joy.

After all, he pushed Lu Zhengnan to this point.

Although he had to admit that Lu Zhengnan really loved Ye Chuxiao, he didn't tell her about such a big thing, and wanted to leave her because he was afraid of dragging her down, but this was the result he wanted.

"Zhengnan hasn't been in touch with you recently?" He sat beside him, asking casually.

Ye Chuxiao didn't want to answer, but just silently fed Mi Lier.

Qi Zhen was a little bored, and went to take the bowl in her hand again: "Let me feed it."

"You can't feed well." Ye Chuxiao replied indifferently, continued to feed Mi Li'er and finished the half bowl of porridge, then went to the next bathroom to wash the dishes.

Qi Zhen followed him again, which reminded Ye Chuxiao of the scene in the bathroom that day, and he immediately put himself on alert.

Seeing this, he waved his hand: "Okay, okay, I won't come in, you don't have to be so guarded against me, I was also impulsive that day."

After he backed out, Ye Chuxiao heaved a sigh of relief and turned on the water to rinse the dishes.

The moment the water flowed through her fingertips, she felt a little disappointed.It is true that Lu Zhengnan hasn't contacted her until now, maybe he is really too busy, so busy that he forgot the previous agreement with her.

When she came out again, Qi Zhen looked at her and stood up: "I'm going back."

He was here at night, so she couldn't sleep peacefully, just in time to go back, she let out a "huh".

Qi Zhen kissed Mi Li'er, and when he walked past her, he turned his face to the side and gave her a meaningful look.

She pretended not to notice, and turned her back to wipe her hands.

Qi Zhen smiled, opened the door and left.

On the way back, there was a bit of a traffic jam, but he was in a good mood, and he slowly cruised the river to watch the night.

While waiting for the traffic light, he looked at the advertisement in the shop window, and suddenly found a platinum ring, which was very similar to the one he bought for Ye Chuxiao.

It's really a coincidence, isn't this some kind of omen?

He then turned onto the road next to him, found a place to stop, and entered the mall.

Finding the counter of that brand, he asked the salesperson to take out the ring and examine it carefully.

It does.He immediately asked Bill to buy it.

Back at the residence, he opened the red velvet box, looked at the ring for a long time under the lamp, and suddenly felt moved, took out a knife from the drawer, and carved the word on the base - LOVE.

However, when the "V" was engraved, the hand slipped somehow, the tip of the knife pierced the fingertips, and blood came out.

This is the same as the scene back then, except that that time, it was her hand that was cut, but this time, it was his.

Tit for tat really.He still insisted on finishing the engraving, and then took a tissue to wipe off the remaining blood on his hand and ring...

When he returned to the hospital the next morning, he hesitated again and again, but he finally put the ring in the drawer first.

It's not time to deliver yet.

But he believed, soon.

Everything is fast.

It was indeed coming soon, Lu Zhengnan was recalled to Beijing again, and new evidence of tax evasion was exposed again during the audit period, this time, he must be severely punished.

Moreover, even if he sold the company and the villa, he could no longer afford to pay the fine again.

Up to now, there is probably only the way of resignation to fate.

Due to his past affection, he could still stay at home for the time being, but he was required to wait for a summons at all times and not to leave without authorization.

This is actually not much different from detention.

This time, the old man's heart was ashamed, but he was surprisingly calm. He only took Lu Zhengnan to the yard every day, playing chess and drinking.

Lu's mother was very annoyed by this, and she made sarcastic remarks from time to time, and the father and son pretended not to hear it.

On this day, Lu Zhengnan's handsomeness died again. He took the initiative to pick up the chess piece, exited the chessboard, and suddenly said softly: "Dad, I decided to divorce Chu Xiao."

The old man's hand shook violently.

"Please cooperate with me." Lu Zhengnan smiled wryly: "I'm acting alone, I'm afraid Chu Xiao won't believe it."

The wind seemed to have stopped, and there was silence in the courtyard.

After a while, the old man asked in a trembling voice, "How do you cooperate?"

"Pick the one she hates the most." Lu Zhengnan smiled wryly...

That night, when Ye Chuxiao was about to pour some water after wiping Mi Lier's hands and face, her cell phone rang suddenly.

She freed up one hand to pick it up, it was the phone at home in Beijing, put down the washbasin hurriedly, glanced at Qi Zhen who was still sitting next to her, and went outside to answer it.

"Chu Xiao, it's me." When the old man's voice sounded on the phone, she quickly called "Dad".

"Is the rice grain better?" the old man asked first.

"It's much better than before, and it's starting to respond to people." Ye Chuxiao replied.She knew that the old man was very guilty because of Shiman's matter, so she tried to forgive him as much as possible.

"That's good, that's good..." The old man said in a relieved tone, but he seemed hesitant to say anything: "I'm calling today, and I have something else..."

"What's the matter? Tell me." Ye Chuxiao asked.

"Zhengnan he...Zhengnan he..." The old man choked for a long time, but couldn't speak.

Seeing him like this, Ye Chuxiao thought about this period when Lu Zhengnan had completely lost contact with her, and felt a bad feeling in her heart, so she immediately asked: "What's wrong with him? Did something happen?"

"Something happened." The old man half-closed his eyes, sighed deeply, and forced himself to make up his mind: "Chu Xiao, you have to be mentally prepared."

Ye Chuxiao was even more disturbed, and said "um".

"Zhengnan went to Germany this time not for a business trip, but because a girlfriend he had been with before you suddenly told him recently that she gave birth to a son for him, who is almost two years old and now lives in Germany .” The old man finished these words in one breath, and heard no more voices from there.

"Chuxiao, Chuxiao..." He yelled twice in a panic. There was only a busy signal left on the phone, and when he dialed again, the phone was already turned off...

Ye Chuxiao was almost lying on the window sill, neither crying nor showing any expression, just staring blankly at the lights of Wanjia outside the window.

He had a child with another woman.

Until now, she seems unable to digest the meaning of the old man's words.

how can that be……

But, how do you know, it must be impossible...

Repeatedly questioning, negating, and questioning again, my mind was chaotic at first, and finally went blank, but my heart was in pain from beginning to end, and it became more and more severe, as if it was being torn apart.

"Dawn." Qi Zhen's voice sounded behind him.

She seemed to be startled suddenly, and then rushed into the women's bathroom as if fleeing.

After closing the door, in that closed and narrow space, finally, there was a suppressed low cry, faintly heard...

After a long time, the door opened again, and Ye Chuxiao came out, and by the pool, slapped his face and red and swollen eyes with cold water over and over again.

Back in the ward, Qi Zhen, who was sitting on the sofa, raised his head to look at her, with a flickering light in his eyes: "What's wrong with you?"

Instead of answering, she asked, "When are you leaving, Mi Lier and I are going to sleep."

She looked very calm at the moment, unusually calm.

Qi Zhen stood up slowly: "I'm leaving now."

Before he went out, he looked back at Ye Chuxiao again, and saw that she was adjusting the pillow for Mi Lier, and everything seemed to be as usual.

But he knew in his heart that something must have happened. When she answered the phone just now, he was not far away. He heard her call "Dad" and asked "What happened?" He had an intuition that things must be going in the direction he wanted.

That's good.With a slight smile on his lips, he closed the door...

That night, Ye Chuxiao didn't know whether she was asleep or not, all kinds of chaotic episodes were churning in her mind, sometimes she was drowsy, and sometimes she woke up suddenly, and she continued to toss like this until dawn.

She finally turned on the phone, looked at the Beijing number in the call log, held her breath for a long time, and finally dialed it.

Almost the first moment the phone rang, it was picked up over there.

The old man has been waiting for her call, and the person sitting next to him is Lu Zhengnan.

They also stayed up all night last night.

"Dad, is what you said before true?" Ye Chuxiao's voice was hoarse.

"Chuxiao—" The old man glanced at Lu Zhengnan beside him, and sighed heavily.

"I don't believe it." Ye Chuxiao lowered his eyelids, his eyelashes trembling slightly.Until now, she still didn't want to believe that such an accident would happen between her and Lu Zhengnan. It was clear that things were fine a few days ago... She held back her tears and waited for the old man's answer.

Lu Zhengnan squeezed the old man's hand tightly, turned his gaze away, clenched his teeth, and there were blue veins on the side of his neck.

"It's true." The old man looked at him, and finally said cruelly: "Although I also think you are a good daughter-in-law, you also understand that it is always bad if there is no offspring in a family like ours... Now that Bian has a son again, so..."

Ye Chuxiao's heart was completely broken.

Yes, she is not pregnant yet.No matter how deep the love with Lu Zhengnan is, it can't erase this fact.

She couldn't bear him a child, and now someone else gave him a child, how could she not be perfect?

"You are also a single mother yourself, and you have experienced this kind of hardship. Zhengnan can't bear to leave their mother and son..." The old man continued to speak cruelly, but tears were already in the corners of his eyes. Lu Zhengnan, who was beside him, buried his face in the On the knee, motionless.

Ye Chuxiao's fingernails sank deep into the palm of his hand, and with trembling lips, he murmured the word: "Okay." He couldn't say anything more, and hung up directly.

Outside the window, it started to rain, it hadn't rained for a long time, but today it was pouring rain, just like the day when she met Lu Zhengnan, water traces meandered on the glass, like tear stains.

She just sat there blankly, watching blankly, the world in her heart seemed to be pouring down with rain...
