"Leng... Zhiqing..." Xiao Xixi's voice suddenly sounded faintly. With this low voice, everyone's eyes were focused on it. Leng Zhiqing's hand also relaxed.
He stared at Situ Leiyan coldly, as if a cold whirlwind was silently rising between the two equally tough men.
"Xiao Xixi, I'm here." Looking at Xiao Xixi's almost pale face, Leng Zhiqing spoke softly.
"...It's very noisy." Xiao Xixi slightly opened her pale lips. Due to the physical injury, a lot of blood had been lost. She said softly, "Let them leave." She didn't want to hear their voices, whether it was Situ Leiyan,
It's still Gu Ruolan. Also, the two people arguing over him can only inadvertently aggravate his own pain.
"Xiao Xixi, you..." Situ Leiyan stared at the languid Xiao Xixi, his heart felt indescribably cold, "...do you want me to leave?" His heart felt as if it was filled with ice water.
Xiao Xixi did not answer, but there was a small but unconcealable sorrow in her eyes, like the twinkling stars in the dark night, weak, but with the slightest light. As if she was saying something, she looked at Leng Zhiqing, her eyes filled with laughter.
Full of heaviness.
"Yes." Leng Zhiqing looked at Xiao Xixi and said this sentence for her in a deep voice.
Situ Leiyan was heartbroken and looked at Xiao Xixi indifferently. The feeling of heartache was almost suffocating, as if she had lost all time. She spoke, and then acquiesced and let herself leave. It was because of the irreparable damage she had caused, and she was completely hurt.
He must have won her heart. But, that child is very likely to be his.
Situ Leiyan breathed a long sigh of relief and tried his best to speak out a few words: "Xiao Xixi, I'm leaving, please take care." There was no need to say more, and there was nothing more to say.
"Xixi, we..." Gu Ruolan stood there in confusion, looking at Situ Leiyan's back as he turned around and left silently, followed him without saying another word.
Situ Leiyan slowly walked away in the corridor. Every step he took was extremely difficult and unexpectedly heavy. It was only a section of the corridor, but it felt like it was thousands of miles away.
"Yan, you...don't be sad." Gu Ruolan chased after Situ Leiyan with a little embarrassment on her face. It was the first time she saw Situ Leiyan so depressed. Originally, the gunshot wound was not fully healed, but now
She also seemed to have suffered a heavy blow mentally, which made her heartbroken.
She blamed herself for hurting Xiao Xixi, but... she didn't do it on purpose. Suddenly thinking of this, Gu Ruolan's heart was in the air. Xiao Xixi didn't notice what she just said. Maybe she didn't notice it in her panic.
Don’t you remember that you were the culprit that caused her to fall?
He glanced at Situ Leiyan's reaction anxiously. At this moment, he was already immersed in Xiao Xixi's words and couldn't extricate himself from the pain. Fortunately, he didn't have the emotion to worry about himself.
The whole journey was speechless.
Gu Ruolan was sitting in the passenger seat, paying close attention to Situ Leiyan's reaction all the time. However, he was just silent and there was nothing unusual about him, except that his face was surprisingly ugly and he was staring straight ahead.
The path of her life did not give her a cent.
Entering the entrance hall, Gu Ruolan was still paying close attention to Situ Leiyan's every move. The air had become more dull and dull with his coldness, filled with a lifeless feeling.
"Yan, your health is not good yet," Gu Ruolan tried her best to force out a smile, "Don't be too sad, this... this is not good for your health." After saying that, she watched his reaction.
As expected, Situ Leiyan did not answer anything. He walked to the sofa dullly, sat down quietly, crossed his hands and placed them on his forehead. After a moment, he raised his eyes and stared closely at the last step of the stairs.
The junction with the ground. Not long ago, this was the place where Xiao Xixi fell.
Situ Leiyan stared dimly, and the scene of her weakly asking for a child appeared in front of his eyes. He suddenly said: "Where are the children?"
Gu Ruolan was startled and replied hurriedly: "I am... being watched by the nanny, at the Lanting Villa by the sea."
"Take it." Situ Leiyan's gaze still did not change.
Afraid that he would be suspicious, Gu Ruolan stopped the black tea brought by the servant, quietly crept up to Situ Leiyan, and handed it over: "Yan, drink some black tea, this can warm you up." I hope this cup of tea can warm you up.
In his heart, even though he knew it was in vain.
"Gu'er," Situ Leiyan's eyes suddenly moved to Gu Ruolan's face, without showing any doubt or suspicion, he just said calmly, "How did Xiao Xixi fall?"
"She...she wasn't careful," Gu Ruolan's heart twitched suddenly, and she pretended to be calm, but she was still a little unnatural, "She seemed to trip under her feet, and then, then she threw herself forward, and then
I fell down a few steps, and then...Yan, I...I couldn't see very clearly." He looked at Situ Leiyan in fear.
"Really?" The two words were neither a statement nor a question. Such a tone made Gu Ruolan's heart tense even more.
"Yes...Yan," Gu Ruolan tried her best to calm down her guilty conscience and said in a weak tone, "I was too nervous at the time, so I don't remember it very clearly."
Situ Leiyan didn't say anything more. He turned around and didn't look at her. He just reached out and took the black tea from Gu Ruolan's hand.
Gu Ruolan suddenly woke up and hurriedly said: "Yan, the matter is over, what has happened is irreversible - don't be too sad. I...I will go and pick up the two children right away."
I didn't want to pick up Xiao Xixi's two children in person, but there was nothing I could do.
Show your sincerity and show no barriers as if you are your own. The play must be finished. In addition, Situ Leiyan must be upset, so he can calm down if he leaves for a while.
"Yeah." Situ Leiyan snorted coldly as a response.
After receiving the affirmation, Gu Ruolan stopped delaying, stood up and walked out of the door.
Listening to the door slamming shut, Situ Leiyan took a long breath, maintaining his original posture and looking at the place where the incident occurred. He gently raised his fingers, rubbed his temples, and tried to calm himself down.
Be more awake.
All I could think about was Xiao Xixi's weak voice, and the scene where she gritted her teeth and wanted to leave even though she was feeling unwell. Silent sadness lingered in my heart.
While he was lost in thought, the servant came to refill the water and accidentally knocked over Situ Leiyan's cup which he had casually placed on the coffee table. Although it was only a damp water stain on the carpet, the servant hurriedly apologized in panic.
: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I was careless!"
Seeing Situ Leiyan frowning slightly, the servant was afraid that he would become angry and agitated for a moment.
Unexpectedly, Situ Leiyan just glanced briefly and said slightly: "It's okay. Just clean up." These words made the servant calm down, but then, her heart was raised again - Situ Leiyan
Yan suddenly said: "Xiao Cai, have you always been here?" This sentence was inexplicably shocking.
"Yeah...yes." Xiao Cai lowered his head.
"You -" Situ Leiyan raised his eyes and stared at her face, "Did you see Xiao Xixi fall down the stairs?"
"Xiao Cai... saw it." She still lowered her eyes, bit her lips tightly, and looked like she was mumbling.
"You have been in Situ's family for many years," Situ Leiyan looked at her and said calmly, "From the age of eighteen until now, from the mainland to the United States, I have brought you here."
"Yes." Xiao Cai still didn't dare to look up. She didn't expect that Situ Leiyan could remember her so clearly, and she was a little flattered.
"You shouldn't make low-level mistakes so easily now." Situ Leiyan looked at her with a calm tone.
"I..." Xiao Cai had a troubled expression.
"Say." Situ Leiyan said nothing more, just waiting for her answer.
"Xiao Cai never expected that Mr. Situ would remember me, but I...I..." Xiao Cai looked a little worried, but then he seemed to be heartbroken and gritted his teeth and said, "This time, I have to tell you no matter what.
come out."
"You said." Situ Leiyan read it right. From Gu Ruolan's evasive words, he already had doubts. She, who had always been calm, was a little speechless. She had never been like this even when she lost her fetus three years ago.
.He only had a few steps to get to the end of the corridor before Xiao Xixi fell.
However, just a few steps away, something like this happened. He didn't dare to think about it, but he had some serious doubts. Could it be... Gu Ruolan's fault?
Xiao Cai burst into tears suddenly. He looked at the door and thought that Gu Ruolan would not be back soon. He tried his best to hold back his sobs and said: "Mr. Situ, I didn't expect that Miss Xiao would not recognize me. A few years ago,
She also let me off the hook, and now, I have to tell these things no matter what."
"A few years ago...she let you go?" Situ Leiyan hesitantly looked at Xiao Cai's tearful face and said, "Did something happen before that he didn't know about?!"
"Three years ago, when we were still settling in the mainland," Xiao Cai said firmly, "Miss Gu once ordered me to put medicine in Miss Xiao's drink. At that time, Miss Xiao was pregnant with the baby. I really didn't dare
Let go, I cried and told Miss Xiao, and not only did she not blame me, but... she even gently persuaded me, and in the end, as she promised, she did not say a single word to you."
Drugged?! - Situ Leiyan was stunned in disbelief: "What kind of drug?" His thoughts went back to three years ago. I don't know when it was, but Xiao Xixi still hid such a profound story.
"Abortion pills." As she spoke, another line of tears flowed down Xiao Cai's cheeks. Thinking of Xiao Xixi's smile to her, her guilt suddenly rose, "Mr. Situ, if you want to blame me, blame me.
, it doesn’t matter if you kick me out!” She burst into tears.
She has always hoped that one day these past events would be revealed to the world.
