Ou Lao sighed in his heart, Cheng Zitong's aura was so strong that making peace was just a temporary measure.
Cheng family...he couldn't think of anyone who would be Cheng Zitong's opponent, Cheng Yiming sitting next to Bai Yu?
Cheng Yiming couldn't get rid of Murong Jue's influence. Although he was smart, he was soft-minded and had little influence.
"Old Mrs. Cheng, can you deal with these people?" Ou Lao asked Murong Jue.
"As long as no one repeats the past and shows sincerity in making peace, I will naturally do what I should do." Murong Jue replied.
"Why can't we uncover what happened in the past?" Fu Yuan'er immediately retorted, "After a woman passed away, she didn't even want to leave a photo to her son. Why can't I find out what happened before?"
Murong Jue's face darkened gloomily.
Bai Yu turned away her face lightly, but there were actually tears in her eyes.
Ou Lao sighed, "Yuan'er, if you really want to know what happened back then, I can tell you."
"No need." Cheng Zitong stood up suddenly, "No one will investigate the past. I will abide by the agreed terms. That ends today."
After saying that, he took Fu Yuan'er's hand and left without looking back.
"Yuan'er..." Fu's mother called twice, but it was in vain.
The conference room was quiet for a few seconds before Mr. Ou spoke: "In that case, I have successfully completed the task. Mrs. Cheng, please go home and have a good rest."
Murong Jue said "Yes", and Bai Yu immediately stood up, helped her and left.
For a moment, only Ou Lao and Fu's mother were left in the conference room.
Fu's mother sighed: "I don't know whether this is right or wrong."
Mr. Ou shook his head: "Cheng Zitong's temporary surrender is all for Yuan'er. This matter will never end."
"What happened that year?" Fu's mother was also curious.
Mr. Ou fell into memories, "Linglan, I've seen him twice..."
Ling Lan has the most iconic appearance of the Linghu family, a tall and straight aquiline nose. She is very smart, but also very stubborn.
After she had a child, she wanted to become a real wife of the Cheng family, but how easy was it?
Once a woman becomes entangled, no matter how beautiful or intelligent she is, it will be troublesome for a man.
Since the love was gone, Ling Lan left the Cheng family with her pregnancy.
On the one hand, she hated the Cheng family, but on the other hand, she hoped that the Cheng family would at least recognize the child in her belly.
However, from the time she left the Cheng family until she gave birth, no one from the Cheng family cared about her.
She wanted to fight for a future for her child, so she took a huge risk and contacted her family. Someone did come, but it is said that after the other party learned about the situation, they not only refused to recognize her child, but also listed her and the child forever.
Entered the Linghu family's blacklist.
Not only that, they believed that the Cheng family had stained the Linghu family, so they used their connections to kill the Cheng family in the stock market.
The Cheng family suffered a complete defeat, and Linglan was a stranger both inside and outside. She was ostracized by both sides. Later, she fell seriously ill and died in depression.
"She is also a miserable woman." After listening to Mr. Ou's story, Fu's mother sighed.
"But no matter what, she should not pass on her hatred to her son." She added.
Ou Lao didn't answer, there was something else in his deep eyes.
**
Along the way, Fu Yuan'er peeked at Cheng Zitong several times.
He didn't speak, he just held the steering wheel tightly and stared at the road ahead.
Is he angry that she secretly checked on his mother?
Fu Yuan'er didn't dare to ask directly. She turned around and saw a burrito shop not far away. She turned her beautiful eyes and said, "Cheng Zitong, I'm hungry."
It's a big deal when a pregnant woman is hungry. No matter how angry she is, she has to let it go.
"What do you want to eat?" Sure enough, he found a place to stop the car.
"That." The burrito shop is right in front.
It's just a small stall, and in the autumn weather, you can already see the heat coming out.
It looks delicious because there are many people queuing up.
"Go to the hotel to eat," he said.
"No!" She shook her head. Although some hotels sell burritos, everything is patchwork. Even the burritos are not freshly made, let alone the chili sauce.
"This shop specializes in selling burritos, and they taste authentic." She pulled on his arm, "Let's go queue up."
She happily pulled him into the team. Looking at the figure moving slowly in front of her, she didn't feel anxious, but found it very interesting.
It is also a rare experience to be able to queue up to buy things with Cheng Zi.
"Cheng Zitong, I guess you rarely queue up to buy things?" She deliberately teased him.
"Do I look like I don't have time?" he asked with raised eyebrows.
"Well, you look like a noble man who doesn't eat at roadside stalls."
The corners of his tightly pursed lips finally loosened.
"Don't have so many weird ideas," he curled his fingers and hit her on the head with his knuckles, "I have done all the things that ordinary people have done."
"When you were in college, you also went to the cafeteria to eat?" Fu Yuan'er asked.
"What else will I eat?"
"Are you going to the water boiling room to turn on the water too?"
"What else would I use?"
"You also go to the bathhouse to take a bath?"
"Not going."
"Where do you shower?"
He suddenly hugged her waist, pulled her close to him, put his thin lips close to her ear, and whispered.
Fu Yuan'er's pretty face suddenly turned red...
"How annoying!" She reached out and hit him on the shoulder, and he could drive just by opening his mouth.
"Hahaha..." A low laugh came from deep in his throat.
Seeing her happy makes him happy; seeing her blushing makes him even happier...
The two bought burritos and sat on a bench in the small garden on the corner of the street to eat.
She had never thought burritos could taste so good, but maybe she got it from waiting in line with him.
"Cheng Zitong, is what we are doing now something every couple would do?" She tilted her head and looked at him.
"Maybe." He nodded slightly.
"But some people may not eat burritos... What is certain is that every couple must be in love when they are together." She looked at him seriously, "Your parents were like that at that time."
Cheng Zitong was slightly stunned, put down the hand holding the burrito, and remained silent.
"I didn't hide it from you on purpose..." She was very sorry. "Mrs. Bai Yu said, you shouldn't live in your mother's hatred. I want to find out what happened back then, and I want to know what the truth is."
The hatred is still the knot in your heart."
"I'm sorry, Cheng Zitong, I should have told you in advance." She almost cried, "You should blame me, but you should not be angry for too long, okay?"
"Being angry for too long...I will really cry..."
Suddenly she felt warmth coming from her hair on the left side, and it was him who reached out and stroked her hair.
She raised her head and looked into the depths of his eyes. There was no reproach, but a soft smile, "You can ask me anything you want to know."
"Can I?"
The look in his eyes was very certain.
"Then you can tell me, in your heart, what happened back then was really like?" she asked.
Cheng Zitong was silent for a moment and then said: "At first, they told me that the Linghu family disliked her for being embarrassed, and also hated the Cheng family for bringing shame to the family, so they blocked the Cheng family in the stock market. The fight between the two families made her a human being.
She suffered so much in her heart that she couldn't bear it anymore and fell ill..."
"What's the truth?"
"It was two families who jointly strangled her!" Cheng Zitong's eyes were full of angry cold light, "They were acting in front of the whole world!"
"Why?"
"She has a piece of jewelry in her hand that can open the oldest safe in the Linghu family."
Jewelry!
Fu Yuan'er was shocked.
"Where is the jewelry now?" she asked.
Cheng Zitong shook his head, "I don't know, I haven't looked for it either."
That's not what he wants.
"Back then, the Linghu family and the Cheng family agreed that the two families would pretend to be fighting over Linglan. Linglan would take out the jewelery key no matter which party she wanted to please. Then their goal would be achieved."
However, "No one knows why she didn't take out that piece of jewelry, but fell into deep self-blame, and even became seriously ill a few years later..."
"Where did you find out these things?" She was curious.
"City A is so big, there are always one or two insiders who are not afraid of the Cheng family."
"Can you tell me who these two insiders are?"
"Are you worried about who instructed them to mislead me?"
Fu Yuan'er nodded, "If they happen to have grudges against the Cheng family, wouldn't you become their revenge tool?"
Cheng Zitong disagreed: "In your heart, am I so stupid?"
This... Fu Yuan'er squeezed out a smile, unable to continue the conversation.
"You understand now, I hate the Cheng family, not because they killed her with their own hands, but because they trampled on her dignity and life because of profit and money. They didn't care about her life or death at all, just like
The weeds on the roadside..."
His revenge is to take away what the Cheng family cares about most and let them taste what she once endured alone.
Fu Yuan'er didn't know what to say.
It turns out that the truth is like this, not only is it true hatred, but it is also the knot in his heart.
Hatred is mixed with insults and contempt, and is often incomprehensible.
During his growth, every time he suffered contempt and contempt, his hatred towards the Cheng family grew even more.
After so many years, even the drops of water can penetrate the stone, let alone the human heart.
Talking about resolving the knot, talking about letting go, only when he truly achieves what he expects and truly succeeds in revenge can he be able to let go.
"Fu Yuan'er, now that you understand, do you think I'm scary?"
There is a monster living in his heart, with his mouth wide open, waiting to be fed the pleasure of revenge every day.
Fu Yuan'er shook her head and looked at the people passing by. "Cheng Zitong," she said, "just do what you want to do, and I will protect you."
"Fu Yuan'er?" He wasn't sure what he heard.
"When someone cuts you with a knife, you can't fight back with your hands. Maybe you don't have a knife, but you have me."
Hope I have lots of love for you.
But if the love I give you is not what you want, I hope I can give you courage.
If my love and my courage are not what you want.
I can only give you everything I have.
Fu Yuan'er lowered her face, and her long hair fell down, covering up the tears rolling down the corners of her eyes.
