Chapter 568
"I grew up with you in the orphanage, but you forgot who I am?" A trace of coldness flashed across the handsome face of the little man!
"Are you...Brother Xiaomi?" Liang Ruixue carefully looked at her in surprise, but this look didn't seem quite like it!
"You can remember him, but you can't remember me?" The man lowered his head in frustration, "From childhood to adulthood, you only remember him!"

"Then who are you?" Liang Ruixue's voice was so dry that it was smoking, and it was difficult to say a word.

"Who am I, huh?"

The man stood up with a sneer, unscrewed a bottle of mineral water, handed it to Liang Ruixue's grinning lips, and said, "Drink!"

"If you don't tell me who you are, I won't drink!"

"Still as stubborn as when I was a child!"

"Drink, otherwise no one will know if you die of thirst here!"

The little man persistently touched the water to Liang Ruixue's lips.

"I can't drink it!"

Liang Ruixue, who was lying on the mat, licked her chapped lips. She smelled the pure taste of mineral water and felt unbearably hungry and thirsty.

The little man helped her sit up against the wall, and Liang Ruixue saw clearly that her feet were bare.

"Drink!"

The man carefully put the mouth of the bottle to Liang Ruixue's mouth, and said, "I also bought your favorite yellow peach cake. When you were young, you would drool at the window!"

This person actually knows that she loves peach cakes!Liang Ruixue opened her eyes wide, but she really couldn't remember who this person was!
"When we were young, we were in the orphanage together. You were always the focus of everyone, and Brother Xiaomi was protecting me. I didn't even have the courage to say a word to you!"

The little man fed Liang Ruixue two sips of water, blinked his big eyes in a good mood and immersed himself in the memories of the past.

"Now you are as beautiful as when I was a child. At that time, the thing I wanted to do the most when I opened my eyes every day was to see you. As long as I saw you, my world would be full of sunshine!"

"But I only dare to look at you from a distance. The dean's mother loves you, and brother Xiaomi protects you. I have low self-esteem and dare not approach you!"

"See the scar on my face, I just climbed up the window sill to see you, and fell down!"

The little man pointed to his browbones for Liang Ruixue to see.

Liang Ruixue looked at him carefully. This man has delicate features, thin skin and tender flesh. He wears a khaki shirt and looks like a good-tempered scholar. If he hadn't kidnapped her, just by looking at his appearance, she would definitely not think he is a bad person !

"What's your purpose in bringing me here?"

Liang Ruixue asked cautiously. She knew that in the past few days, the news that President Qiao gave her half of his wealth must have spread all over the streets and alleys of City A like wings!

The wages of avarice is death!There must be someone with malicious intentions trying to get her, or money!
"I want to see you!" The little man lowered his head, smiled self-deprecatingly, and sighed leisurely, "Don't think I'm doing it for money, I'm not short of money, but I can't live without you, I've lost it for too long, I want to Come back!"

Liang Ruixue doesn't understand, what does it mean to have been lost for too long?

"Don't understand, right?" The little man continued, "You should be mine, so I want to take you back!"

"Why am I yours?" Liang Ruixue didn't understand even more.

"You really don't remember me at all?"

The little man frowned, looked at Liang Ruixue in disbelief, and wanted to find out whether Liang Ruixue's words were true or not.

Liang Ruixue looked back at him innocently, drank several sips of water, and her throat felt much more comfortable!
Seeing that Liang Ruixue didn't seem to be lying, the little man smiled triumphantly, leaned closer to Liang Ruixue, with his nose against hers, closed his eyes, and said in an infinitely intoxicated way:

"It's okay to forget, then let's start from scratch!"

"No, you let me go, I don't want to be with you!"

Liang Ruixue instinctively hid back, she didn't like this man's touch!

"You'd better get used to me, I'm not as good-tempered as I appear!"

The little man stretched out his hand to gently caress Liang Ruixue's face, squinted his eyes intoxicated, and muttered to himself:
"It's as soft and smooth as I imagined, with a satin-like feel... For so many years, all my efforts have been to be with you!"

"Do not touch me!"

Leaning against the corner of the wall, Liang Ruixue struggled desperately, trying to avoid the random groping of those clutches, but also anxiously thinking about who this man was?
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, baby!"

The man smiled slightly, stood up, walked straight to the pile of things he bought, and began to search.

"Come on, brother, feed you yellow peach cake. I remember when I was young, this was your favorite!"

As he spoke, the man stuffed the cake into Liang Ruixue's mouth.

Huang Chengcheng's cake was dotted with a piece of bright and shiny yellow peach, something that made her appetite after seeing it in the past, but at this moment, Liang Ruixue felt her stomach was overwhelmed.

"Hmm... Take it away!" She tilted her head desperately, the usual alluring fragrance, at this moment, made her want to vomit.

"Hey, the eldest young mistress is used to delicacies from mountains and seas, so she no longer cares about this kind of food. It's a pity I still remember it in my heart for so many years!"

The man picked up the cake, put it in his mouth, and started to eat it, talking to Liang Ruixue in a disdainful tone while eating.

"Back then, when we slipped out of the orphanage and walked on the street, we were all attracted by the scent from the cake shop on the side of the road, but we didn't have any money, so we had to stand outside the window and look in... At that time, you Youngest, I saw you drooling, hehe, when I think of that scene for so many years, my heart hurts!"

"Who are you?"

Liang Ruixue really couldn't remember who he was in memory!

Leaning against the wall and gasping for breath, the smell of the cake just now, coupled with the musty smell in the room, made her stomach sour and powerless!

"You really don't remember me?"

After eating the last bite of the cake, the little man asked in surprise with his eyes wide open, and then wiped Liang Ruixue's forehead with the back of his hand, "Did you get injured or lost your memory during the 8 years I left?"

"8 years ago, did I know you?"

Liang Ruixue also found it strange that this man didn't look like a mental patient, and he seemed to have some understanding of her past, such as standing outside the window and drooling at the cake, which was indeed what she did. thing!

"Did something happen in the middle?"

The little man rolled his eyes and said to himself:
"Could it be true that I lost my memory, I don't have any memory of me, but you, you clearly remember brother Xiaomi!"

"I remember Brother Xiaomi, but I don't know who you are?"

Liang Ruixue innocently opened her eyes wide, hungry and thirsty, coupled with an upset stomach, made her haggard!

"I'm two years older than you. We grew up together in an orphanage. Eight years ago, I left there to go far away!"

The little man said the past lightly, but there was an expression of pain on his face that couldn't be hidden.

"Then why don't I remember you at all?"

Leaning against the wall, Liang Ruixue shrank her legs tiredly, and asked back, she didn't believe that a man who would tie her here grew up with her childhood sweetheart, the point is: she doesn't remember him at all!

"I don't know what happened in the past 8 years that will cause you to forget me so completely!"

The man raised his head and sighed, and said in a depressed voice:

"I came back to China this time just to take you away!"

"Where are you taking me?"

Liang Ruixue immediately became alert.

"You can go wherever you want, we don't stay here, it doesn't matter if you don't know me, we start from scratch!"

The man pursed his lips conceitedly, and then said: "In order to let you live the life we ​​dreamed of when we were young, I have worked hard for the past 8 years without feeling tired!"

"Who are you, I don't want to go with you!"

Liang Ruixue was intuitively afraid of this man, tied her here for no apparent reason, and even said such a bunch of inexplicable words!
"Ha ha……!"

Hearing Liang Ruixue's words, the man suddenly laughed out loud, the laughter was creepy.

Liang Ruixue looked at the man's ferocious face, and shrank in the corner of the wall in fright, not daring to make a sound!

"I have waited and endured for 8 years, and what I got in return is that you don't even remember who I am, haha...!"

The man laughed until his eyes turned red, hysterical...

Countless fine dust particles are dancing at high speed under the refraction of sunlight...

Seeing all this, Liang Ruixue was terrified!
There were red and purple bruises on the places where the hands and feet were bound. After a long period of inactivity, her body was also numb and overwhelmed. The corner is motionless!
The man looked at Liang Ruixue expressionlessly, and slowly said:

"You know, back then, it was your eyes that made me risk my life for you and put my life aside, that's why I disappeared from your memory!"

"I can not understand what you say!"

Liang Ruixue said in a low voice, and lightly moved her bound legs. The clothes on her body were already filthy, tired, pan, hungry, and tossing so that she almost collapsed!
"You are the disaster of my life!"

The man leaned his back against the wall and sighed: "It was then, and it is now. When I read the news of your marriage in the newspaper, I dropped everything and came back to you...!"

"I'm so thirsty, can you let me go?"

Liang Ruixue raised her hands, trying to reach a bottle of mineral water not far from her, but because the water was too far away, her whole body fell to the ground.

The man squinted at Liang Ruixue on the ground, his eyes filled with unconcealable desolation, and said leisurely:
"Why did you marry the young master of the Hu family? As far as I know, he didn't even come back to your wedding! Is it for money?"

Liang Ruixue, who was lying on the ground, had her arms and legs tied up and was unable to turn over, so she had to stick half of her face to the ground and remained motionless!
"Since you are married to First Young Master Hu, why are you entangled with Second Young Master Hu? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe that you have become like this! I haven't seen you for 8 years. How can I see that Liang Ruixue?" Has it become like this?"

The man sighed deeply in grief, shook his head and roared in pain: "Why, can you tell me why, where did that pure girl go?"

"Help me up, it smells so bad!" Liang Ruixue almost suffocated, the musty smell on the ground was even heavier, making her dizzy!
The man cast a cold glance at Liang Ruixue who was on the ground, then squatted down, and stretched out his hand to help her sit up.

"My name is Cheng Hao. When I was young, you called me Brother Ahao!"

The man squatted beside Liang Ruixue, carefully untied the rope from Liang Ruixue's hands, and said, "When you were young, you liked to follow Brother Xiaomi, and I liked to follow you. As long as I saw your back, I would be very happy." happy!"

"I don't remember anything!"

Liang Ruixue said in a low voice, the originally fair baby's face became dirty due to bumps and bumps, and in the dirt, the two big watery eyes were still as clear as spring water.

"I don't know what happened in the middle, it will make you filter me out of your memory!"

Looking at Liang Ruixue's face, the man couldn't help but curled his lips into a smile and said, "When you were young, you often made yourself like this when playing with mud!"

Has she ever gotten herself so dirty?

Liang Ruixue raised her untied hands, and several red and purple bruises on her wrists were particularly obvious.

"You still call me Brother Ahao like you did when you were a child, okay?"

The man gently rubbed the bruise on Liang Ruixue's wrist, raised his face and said gently.

"not good!"

Liang Ruixue refused without thinking, and began to untie the nylon rope on her feet by herself.

"Why not?" Cheng Hao's face was gloomy.

"Because I do not know you!"

Liang Ruixue's numb limbs were finally relieved, and she wanted to stand up in a hurry, but just standing up, she felt dizzy for a while, and she staggered like stepping on cotton and wanted to fall down.

Cheng Hao got up in a hurry, and stretched out his arms to hug Liang Ruixue's shaking body.

Unexpectedly, just as Liang Ruixue regained consciousness, she hastily pushed him away.

"Second Young Master Hu can hug you, but I can't?" Cheng Hao frowned.

"Yes, he can hug, but you can't!"

Liang Ruixue answered without thinking, but she was secretly worried. The Hu family must have found out that she was missing. The mother-in-law must be very anxious. I wonder if that bad man will worry about her?
Last night was his and Nana's bridal event, shouldn't he have no time to think about her?
Thinking about it, Liang Ruixue's eyes were wet with tears, why did she feel so worried when she thought of him?

Sigh, he is already someone else's husband, don't think too much about it, he agreed to let it go!

"why are you crying?"

With a gloomy face, Cheng Hao stretched out his fingers to gently wipe away the teardrops hanging from Liang Ruixue's cheeks, his eyes were frighteningly cold.

"You let me go home, I don't want to stay here, I don't want to go with you!" Liang Ruixue said while crying.

"I'm rich, and I can let you live the life of a rich man, why can't you come with me!" Cheng Hao's eyes became more and more gloomy.

"I don't want money!" Liang Ruixue replied with sobs.

"Then what do you want? Feelings? I can give it to you too. I love you. The first time I saw you when I was a child, I have lived for you all my life. Is this enough?"

Cheng Hao grabbed Liang Ruixue's arm and shook it vigorously, forcing her to look at him.

"I don't want anything, just leave here, just leave you!"

Liang Ruixue's hair was messy and messy, and her emaciated body was as weak as a leaf fluttering in the wind and rain!
"I will tie you by my side for the rest of my life, so forget about your First Young Master Hu and your Second Young Master Hu!"

Cheng Hao said viciously:

"If you can't forget, I can make them disappear from the world!"

"Can't!"

Liang Ruixue exclaimed, "They have no grudge against you, who are you and why are you doing this?"

"I just want to get my woman back, if there is an obstacle, I will sweep it away without hesitation!"

Cheng Hao's cold eyes were full of desire to devour blood, which made people shudder!

"I'm not your woman!"

Liang Ruixue pursed her cherry lips and retorted fiercely, "I don't know you either, so stop saying inexplicable things!"

"Then whose woman are you, First Young Master Hu, or Second Young Master Hu?" Cheng Hao laughed instead of anger, a terrifying laugh!
Someone's face flashed across Liang Ruixue's mind without hesitation. What would he be doing at this moment?Did you think of a way to save her?
Come and save me, bad man, where have you been?Liang Ruixue muttered to herself while crying...why didn't you come to save me?
"At this moment, who do you want to see suddenly appear here and take you out!"

Cheng Hao narrowed his eyes, staring dangerously at Liang Ruixue's face.

Liang Ruixue shook her head. At this moment, if there is danger, she still hopes that no one will appear here!

"Come with me, okay?"

Whispering Xun Xun, Cheng Hao approached suddenly, forcing Liang Ruixue to the corner, and with his chin resting on her forehead, he said softly:
"Okay, let's get out of here, I have enough money for you to live a good life, no worse than in Hu's house!"

Liang Ruixue tilted her head, trying her best to avoid Cheng Hao's collision. For some reason, she was very disgusted with his physical contact, and instinctively stretched out her hand to push him away!
"You can make Hu Ershao kiss and hug with a face of enjoyment, why can't I touch it!"

Cheng Hao grabbed Liang Ruixue's little hand and pushed him, his tone was as ruthless and gloomy as a Shura Cha who had just been released from hell!

"do not want!"

Liang Ruixue turned her face away, but still tried her best to avoid it, and the picture of Hu Zhenyuan laughing mischievously appeared in her mind!Intuitively felt that except for him, other men seemed to have thorns in their hands, which made her panic and avoid them!
"must!"

Cheng Hao's gloomy face became uncomfortable, and he clamped Liang Ruixue against the wall with both arms, then lowered his head viciously, searched for the restless little mouth, and grabbed it fiercely!
Liang Ruixue shook her head vigorously, trying to avoid those two hot lips...

The obedient woman in front of him really didn't cooperate, so Cheng Hao had no choice but to reach out and hold Liang Ruixue's head firmly, taking advantage of the space where she opened her mouth to breathe, the flexible dragon in her mouth drove straight in...

Just as he was about to absorb the fragrance that he had missed for a long time, Cheng Hao suddenly let go of his hands, and slammed Liang Ruixue away, and then spit out a mouthful of blood on the ground!

Like a poppy flower, the blood stains on the ground were bright red and dazzling!

"How dare you bite me!"

Cheng Hao wiped his lips vigorously, his eyes were so cruel that Liang Ruixue was startled.

Like a frightened deer, Liang Ruixue shrank her body, her hair was messy hanging on her chest, and her big innocent eyes were vigilantly looking at the furious Cheng Hao!
"Hehe!" Cheng Hao laughed with his mouth full of blood, "Hahahaha...!"

Liang Ruixue leaned even tighter against the wall. The man in front of her was too scary, especially with the blood in his mouth. She just had no strength to resist, so she had to bite her tongue fiercely!
This move really worked, and the man immediately let go of her.

"Haha...!" Cheng Hao couldn't stop laughing strangely, blood flowed from his mouth to his chest, staining his khaki shirt, his chest was bright red!
very scary!
Liang Ruixue felt cold all over, hugged herself tightly with her arms, and looked around. Apart from the door, there was a small window here, where sunlight came in!
However, looking out of the small window, you can see nothing but the sky in the distance!
Why didn't he come to rescue her?
Thinking of that bad man again!
Tears flowed down Liang Ruixue's cheeks until they dripped to the ground, forming little gray flowers on the ground!

"Hehe, in this life, for you, I would even give up my life... Hehe, but you don't even remember who I am!"

Cheng Hao looked at Liang Ruixue sarcastically, laughing uglier than crying!
Liang Ruixue squinted at him silently, thinking in her heart, if she escapes under this man's nose, what are her chances of winning!

"Whether you remember who I am or not, you will be my woman all your life, don't try to escape!" Cheng Hao looked at Liang Ruixue sadly.

There were love, resentment, hatred, and pity in those eyes, and most of them were anger, which made Liang Ruixue believe a little bit, maybe, he and her really knew each other before, but she didn't remember it!
After hesitating for a moment, Liang Ruixue plucked up her courage and said:

"I don't understand if what you said happened when you were a child, but I really don't remember you! It's possible that you made a mistake, and the person you're looking for must not be me!"

"I was wrong, haha!"

Cheng Hao laughed bleakly, and quenched a mouthful of blood from his mouth heavily. The faint smell of blood spread in the small aluminum skin room, making the damp and moldy space even more unpleasant!

Liang Ruixue covered her stomach with one hand, the disgusting smell caused her stomach acid to flood again!
Enduring the discomfort, fine beads of sweat began to ooze from her pale face, Liang Ruixue still wanted to persuade the man in front of her who didn't seem to be easily provoked!
"You let me go, how much money do you want, just ask, I will try my best to satisfy you!"

Panting heavily, it took her a lot of effort to say a few words, so far, it can only be like this, she thought, if this person asks for money, she will have a chance to go out.

"Money! Hehe!"

Cheng Hao laughed more ferociously than crying, "I said, I'm not short of money, I just came back to take my woman away!"

It can't be done with money, so Liang Ruixue had to think of another way. After thinking about it, she said:
"I am the youngest mistress of the Hu family, and I am the adopted daughter recognized by President Qiao. I have disappeared. Now, they must be looking for me in the whole city. The Hu family and the Qiao family are second to none in city A and even the whole country. With their Do you think you can take me away with your wealth and power?"

Liang Ruixue, who was extremely weak, forced herself to calm down and persevere. Maybe both the Hu family and the Qiao family are sending people to look for her!

"Hehe, you are still as naive as you were when you were a child, Xue'er!"

Cheng Hao grinned evilly as if he had heard a funny joke.

"I have the ability to bring you out of the Hu family, and I have the ability to get you out!"

After a pause, and glanced at Liang Ruixue, Cheng Hao continued:
"These 8 years have not passed in vain. You are changing, and I am also changing. For example, if you take a closer look at my face, it is really the same person as the person you and Hu Ershao were making out with outside the study. A face?"

Liang Ruixue took a closer look, except for the eyes, the rest seemed to be indeed not the same person.

"I only need 1 minute to change your face!"

Cheng Hao narrowed his eyes and said rather conceitedly:

"How could that wretched face outside the window that day be my real face...Haha, think about it, if you were transformed into someone else, who would recognize it?"

Liang Ruixue felt creepy when she heard this. Disguise... I've only read about it in martial arts books before. If there is such a skill in the world, I'm afraid she really won't be able to escape it!

"If you can take away a person, can you take away a heart?"

Liang Ruixue asked back with a mocking face, her heart was already on someone, unless she lost her memory, she might never forget it for the rest of her life!

"I just want you to stay by my side obediently, and we have a lifetime to develop our relationship slowly!"

The blood at the corners of Cheng Hao's lips had dried up and turned into a terrifying brown-purple. The sunlight that penetrated through the window shone on him, and his face turned pale, like a vampire who had just drunk human blood, which made people shudder!

"You are whimsical, you have to force everything, but whoever this heart loves...you can't force it!"

Liang Ruixue smiled weakly, and she realized that this man was so ridiculously childish!

"If possible, I can give you another heart!"

Cheng Hao squinted his eyes strangely, and said with a half-smile, "Change a heart that loves me!"

With Cheng Hao's gloomy expression, Liang Ruixue shuddered in shock.

"All things in this world can only be imagined, and there is nothing impossible?"

Cheng Hao approached Liang Ruixue with a sneer.

An uneasy intuition made her take a few steps back, but the room was too small, and she couldn't retreat after all. She looked embarrassed, and her two big clear eyes watched the man approaching in front of her vigilantly.

"Are you afraid of me? Where else can you hide?"

Cheng Hao sneered and forced Liang Ruixue to the corner again, and said darkly:

"You know, not only can I change your face, but I can also change your heart. I also have a way to make you forget everything and act like a reborn baby... I am the only one in your world! "

The extremely conceited smile distorted Cheng Hao's face even more, and Liang Ruixue felt it was difficult to breathe.

"Since you took me away, you want to change my face and heart, so that I can forget everything and only remember you...you can do all this with any woman, why choose me?"

Liang Ruixue stood helplessly against the wall, and the man in front of her was staring at her face like a bloodthirsty beast!
"Because you owe me this, this life, every day and every second of my life is for you! So you must be by my side!"

Cheng Hao gritted his teeth and sneered.

"I don't understand what you're talking about? Why should I owe you? We don't know each other, you know?"

Liang Ruixue patiently explained: "Maybe you have identified the wrong person, I have no reason not to remember what happened 8 years ago"!
"Ha ha!"

Cheng Hao's arms held Liang Ruixue between him and the wall. His face, which should have been sunny, was terrifyingly gloomy. He said firmly:

"I didn't admit my mistake. You are 20 years old. In the first 12 years, I could see you every day. Don't doubt my IQ!"

This man kept saying that he knew her, but she really didn't have the slightest impression. Liang Ruixue shook her head annoyed. The unpleasant smell in the air made her feel upset!

"Taking a lot of effort to take away a person, and even trying to change their appearance, will you be happy if such a person stays with you?" Liang Ruixue looked directly into Cheng Hao's eyes and asked helplessly:
"You sure want a woman who is like a walking dead, without a soul, without a mind of her own, to be your puppet!"

"I do not want!"

Cheng Hao said: "But, if I have to, I have to do this. In this life, I don't want to let myself have any more regrets!"

Liang Ruixue could tell that no matter whether he really had that past or not, this man is extremely selfish and only pays attention to his own thoughts, so any extreme thing can be done!

"Tonight, I will take you out of here, let's go to country M and never come back"!Cheng Hao whispered in Liang Ruixue's ear: "Trust me, I will make you happy!"

Talking to such a person, no matter how much time is spent, it may not help. Liang Ruixue closed her eyes vigorously, and took a deep breath...

What if she was really taken away by this man?
Many faces appeared in my mind, the first one was the bad man who always bullied her, and then mother Chen, mother-in-law, Nana... One by one, the people and things around me rolled in my mind one by one...

"I don't want to go with you!" Liang Ruixue looked firmly into Cheng Hao's cold eyes.

"In this life, unless I die, you have to stay by my side!"

Inside Xiang's Hospital.

Outside the door of the emergency room, a large group of people stood, all looking anxiously at the door that had been closed for more than an hour.

Many family members and doctors and nurses looked sideways, and sighed in their hearts: I have never seen such a huge "family and friends group" for a patient!
Hu Zhenyuan's tall and vigorous figure was particularly conspicuous in the crowd. He leaned against the arm of the wall, lit a cigarette, frowned slightly, and silently swallowed the clouds!

Standing next to him are Xiang Chi in casual attire and Ah Jiang in black solid attire. After a night of hustle and bustle, although their eyes are bloodshot, they are still very energetic!
No. 30 men and women, two men and women, were anxiously and quietly waiting outside the door of the emergency room.

It has been more than an hour since the bloody woman under the cliff was sent in, and there has been no movement!

Everyone concluded that this woman must have something to do with Liang Ruixue's disappearance, so they all wanted to wait until she woke up to find out!
She is the only clue!
"I'll go find Xiaohua and ask, why it took me so long to save her!"Lin Xiangzi, the mother of the Xiang family, squeezed out of the crowd anxiously.

"Oh, why did it take so long!"

Mrs. Hu said with a worried face that the old man had hardly slept all night, and now his face was as pale as a piece of white paper, but he was still standing in front of the emergency room hand in hand with the equally emaciated mother Chen.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Master Hu cleared his throat, looked around at the lifeless faces, and finally said nothing.

Nana worriedly hugged her brother's arm, fluttered her big dull eyes, and glanced in the direction of Hu Zhenyuan from time to time. On the happy day that should belong to her, everyone was shrouded in a gloomy mist!
