The shiny silver injection syringe and the slender needle pierced Chu Di's chest. After a moment of no harm, the white shirt slowly turned bright red.
There was an extremely cold pain that enveloped his heart, as if someone had tied a huge stone to his heart, and the stone was pulling him down.
Chu Di took a breath of cold air. The place where the needle hit overlapped with the place where he had received a gunshot wound. In his memory, the assassination that almost killed him seemed to have never been so painful.
"Why do you do this to me? Why do you do this to my father? Haven't I repaid you enough over the years? Why must you kill him?" Ye Xiangwan's voice sounded trembling, but her hands were extremely firm. This
It is a necessary condition for a good brain surgery doctor. No matter how harsh the environment is, no matter how great the pressure is, the hands must not shake. The slightest difference can make the mistake thousands of miles away. When a person's life is in the palm of your hand,
Your hands must not tremble no matter what.
No matter you want to save him or kill him.
"Three years, I have made you a disaster for three years. Mr. Chu, please ask yourself in your conscience, have I ever done anything to regret you? Do I have any complaints? I always thought that no matter how bad you are,
, no matter how you are not a human being, you only have a little conscience, so you will never be so cruel. How can you be so cruel?! It doesn’t matter if you hate me, why did my father provoke you?! Why do you have to force him?
To a dead end?!"
Time was like a blade, and scenes flashed back quickly in her mind. Some things she had forgotten were now remembered.
It turned out that the first time they met was not that evening when Chu Di appeared as a savior when she and her family were desperate outside the dilapidated shanty town.
But earlier.
She was 16 years old that year and had just celebrated her birthday. Her father gave her a precious gift. At that time, although the Ye family's business was not top-notch in H City, it was still well-known. Like many 16-year-olds with a strong family background,
Just like a girl, she will have her own coming-of-age ceremony.
Ye's father didn't like her, but he didn't deliberately harsh her in life. He still gave her what should be given. So after a series of careful preparations by etiquette teachers, clothing store owners, and jewelry accessories experts, Ye Xiangwan
She will hold her own adult dance on a weekend night with several other girls similar to her.
This ball not only means that she has entered the ranks of ladies from a young girl, but also means that from that day on, she will officially enter the social world of H city. The prosperous and enchanting world will set off a gorgeous and colorful world for her.
The curtain. And in that world, all men who are older than her or the same age as her can start a passionate pursuit if they like her.
That was the beginning of a dream-like life. If everything went well, she would meet an elite man who was suitable for her in the same class of people, and then she would have children and live a happy and healthy life...
She was wearing a light pink dress that day, and she and other 16-year-old girls like her secretly hid behind the towering white Roman columns in the manor, peeping with apprehension and joy, half-understanding yearning for love and the future.
For those boys who are the same age as them, who are equally uneasy, but pretend to be reserved and mature.
The girls were chattering about who should be the first dance partner at the coming-of-age ceremony, which boy was more handsome, and who had a straighter figure, more skillful dance steps, and could fly around the place without being trampled.
Footsteps. Unfortunately, Ye Xiangwan is not very enthusiastic about such discussions, because she already knows who her first dance partner will be.
Uncle Guo’s second son, Guo Zhencheng, was her father’s best friend and business partner. He spent most of the summer vacation teaching her the dance steps. She stepped on his big toe countless times before he finally taught her the dance steps.
Naturally, he became her partner in her first dance.
Speaking of which, this is really a boring thing. Knowing the answer too early is like opening a snack box too early. By the time you are really ready to eat it, the fragrance has long dissipated.
Unable to look forward to a future dance partner with other girls, Ye Xiangwan had no choice but to move to the dining table in frustration.
Then, she met him.
"It is said that in France a set of whale bones can only be used to make twelve sets of tableware like this, because the French people's pursuit of excellence in table manners has reached an outrageous level. But today, I think we are almost there." Sit down.
The man opposite her had an aura that could not be ignored. His eyes were so dark that they were almost dark green. He was wearing a hand-made and fitted dress, which made him no different from the men present, but he was different from them.
, he does not have their gentle and elegant temperament, he gives a sharp feeling, like a knife hidden in a sheath, like a wolf hiding among the sheep.
Ye Xiangwan didn't know why he wanted to talk to him, maybe it was because of the look in his eyes.
Facing a table with shining silver tableware that made people dizzy, he seemed to be a little panicked. Although he concealed it well, she could see through it at a glance.
At the age of 16, she had extraordinary sensitivity. She could see that this man in expensive clothes had not received excellent etiquette training.
"I sometimes get dizzy with these big forks and small knives, but then someone told me that it's actually very simple to figure out how to use them. You just need to use them from the outside to the inside. Every time you change a dish
, just change a pair of knives and forks..."
As she spoke, she slowly picked up the neatly serrated silver knife and cut the medium-rare veal steak into medium-sized pieces of meat.
The man sitting opposite her kept staring at her. His eyes were deep and strange, without any cover-up, like a bad wolf, but Ye Xiangwan was not afraid, she simply thought he was here because he was new.
, she was not used to social life, so she showed slight hostility. But later, she finally understood that that look in her eyes was not hostility at all, but hatred, naked hatred, which came straight out of her eyes without any cover up.
The man looked at her for a long time, and finally lowered his head to look at her, clumsily but seriously cutting the steak on his plate.
His movements were very stiff, and the blade made a harsh sound when it met the porcelain. Ye Xiangwan was frightened when he heard it, and he tried hard to control his facial muscles to prevent himself from showing an expression of discomfort.
Finally, the man put down his knife and fork, and Ye Xiangwan's ears, which had been damaged, escaped unharmed.
Just when she was about to leave the table and go to see how Guo Zhencheng was getting ready, the man suddenly said, "Can I ask you to dance?"
