The setting sun on the horizon dyed the earth a bloody red.
In the royal cemetery of France, an old man in his fifties stood solemnly in front of a tombstone.
The old man was sitting in a wheelchair, and the assistant in black who was supporting him had retreated dozens of meters away. The old man was the only one left in front of the tombstone.
He held a bouquet of pale yellow chrysanthemums in his hand, the tiny stamens swaying gently in the breeze.
The old man's expression seemed to be a little sad, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch the photo on the tombstone: "Xi Xi..." The old man murmured, and his voice contained the calmness and remoteness of time.
"Xixi, it's been many years. I come to see you every year. Do you feel lonely..." The old man stared at the woman on the tombstone photo, as if there were many endless emotions buried in the depths of his eyes, and he couldn't express them.
, can't come out.
"It's been so many years...my legs have already given out...I thought, in a few years, I might be able to come and see you...Xixi, will you still reject me like you did before?"
...Xi Xi..." The old man's fingers slowly touched the face of the woman in the photo.
"Xixi...I loved you back then, but you ended up like this. If I had known this, I would have snatched you away. Wouldn't it have ended like this?" The old man was still murmuring to himself.
The lingering clouds dyed the earth fiery red.
The assistant waited outside for a long time, according to the usual time, and then approached, waiting for the old man to give instructions.
"Let's go." The old man said.
The tiny breasts swayed in front of the tombstone with a clear posture. At this time of year, the elderly people in their fifties would come to this place on time. The young assistant could not help but turn his head and glance at the photo on the tombstone.
He couldn't help but be surprised when he saw it. This was because the woman looked somewhat familiar. As for who she looked like, the young assistant didn't remember for a moment. Looking down, he saw the name above - Rong Xi.
The young assistant's heart couldn't help but beat loudly. Isn't Rong Xi the mother of Ji Fanli, the current leader of the Ji family, the former mistress of the Ji family, and Ji Tianxi's once rumored favorite wife, Rong Xi?
And now the old man in front of the tombstone - Ji Tianhua - besides Ji Tianxi, is the second genius in power of the Ji family.
It was only this year that he switched to work under this old man. His predecessor would explain everything to him, but there were still some things he would not say.
The young assistant pushed the old man out of the cemetery. In the process, he couldn't help but look back at the tombstones in the cemetery that were melting in the setting sun. From a long distance, he could no longer see the specific appearance of the person in the photo on the tombstones.
, but the young assistant felt that the woman's appearance was imprinted in his mind.
More than thirty years ago, the French Ji family was a very senior family. Although they were Chinese, they had an indelible influence on French politics and economy, and were known as the most distinguished Chinese family in France.
The marriage between Ji Rong and his family that year really caused a sensation for quite some time.
The combination of talented men and beautiful women, coupled with the huge financial and material resources of the two families at that time, almost made this marriage the most talked about event at that time.
It is said that there is no reason for romance and happiness in a political marriage. However, after marriage, Ji Tianxi's doting on his wife makes every married or unmarried woman envious and infatuated.
Ji Tianxi had a very high artistic talent. Under the portrait he had specially painted for his wife, someone from an art collection came to try to persuade him to sell the portrait as part of the art museum's collection. However, Ji Tianxi flatly refused.
In the fields of Cuba, Ji Tianxi, a handsome man, personally designed and built a hut for his wife. Every summer, Ji Tianxi would accompany his wife to the hut for vacation.
It's like a good match given by God, no one doesn't envy it, no one doesn't envy it.
Probably because I had too much luck, too much romance and happiness, so even God began to be jealous.
So when that enchanting woman Lin Xiangfu appeared in front of Ji Tianxi, God began to take back this enviable marriage.
A few years later, Rong's eldest daughter Rong Xi died unexpectedly, and a few years later, Ji Tianxi died in a car accident. The two were not buried together in the end, which shows how regretful and envious God was.
A marriage once passed away like this, but not many people can understand the destiny theorem in it.
For example, Ji Tianxi forced Rong Xi to divorce, the already shaky and tiring marriage, Rong Xi's persistence, and Ji Tianxi's hysterical collapse when the knife was accidentally inserted into his chest.
There are too many indescribable twists and turns, but few people can understand them clearly.
*
In a villa in France.
Ji Tianhua, an old man in his fifties, pushed his wheelchair into the living room to have dinner.
There are servants and housekeepers in this villa, but there are no people who should be there - Ji Tianhua's relatives, his wife, or his son.
They all live in another part of the country.
"Sir, my wife called again." The old housekeeper stood beside him with the phone in his hand and said.
Ji Tianhua spread a napkin in front of him and asked in a steady voice, "What's the matter?"
The old housekeeper said, "Madam still hopes that the young master can go to work in Ji's family. After all..." The old housekeeper hesitated to speak.
Ji Tianhua directly stretched out his hand to stop him, with a calm expression and a hint of ruthlessness in his voice, and said, "Tell her clearly that the company I arranged for him is already at the maximum limit of his abilities. If he wants to have a bigger picture,
At least we must manage the current company well."
"But..." The old butler still wanted to speak, paused, and finally stopped. He knew that the young master here was paying attention, but he also knew that Ji Tianhua would never fulfill his wish.
.
More than ten years ago, Ji Tianhua assisted Ji Fanli to assume the position of the leader of the Ji family. More than ten years later, no one can still shake the position of the leader of the Ji family.
Ji Tianhua's love for the Ji family even surpassed his feelings for his son and wife.
The old housekeeper couldn't help but sigh slightly. He placed the phone in his hand on the antique phone stand nearby.
Ji Tianhua went into the medicine pool upstairs. This was a regular ritual after meals every night, and he soaked his body with medicine.
Just like Ji Tianhua said, his health is already very bad and his legs have been paralyzed for many years. Over the years, he has relied on soaking in this potion to prevent his legs from shrinking.
The servant supported Ji Tianhua and helped him go to the medicinal pool.
Ji Tianhua leaned against the stone wall while the servants left the room.
"Xixi, you came to see me." The old man muttered to himself, but upon closer inspection, it turned out that under the influence of the warm water, the old man had fallen asleep and was talking in his sleep.
"Xixi...it has been so many years...I have never forgotten you...back then...back then..." The old man's breathing was rapid, as if he had some unspeakable urgency.
"...If I had been more cruel back then...you wouldn't have ended up like this...Xi Xi..."
The old man opened his eyes slightly and seemed to see the woman standing next to Ji Tianxi with a gentle expression on her face. She looked at him with a smile and said, "Hello, uncle."
He is her brother-in-law and she is his sister-in-law.
Ji Tianxi was born with a romantic appearance, but what people didn't expect was that he was a man of long-lasting love. His feelings for Rong Xi were genuine.
Ji Tianxi is also one of the few people in the Ji family who has extremely high artistic talent. Mr. Ji was very fond of him back then, so he is naturally the person in charge of the Ji family, and the marriage with the Rong family was also planned by Mr. Ji.
A move to reach.
When Rong Xi first got married, Ji Tianxi was lukewarm towards her, and the overwhelming love seen by outsiders was just an explanation given by Ji Tianxi to Mr. Ji.
The meeting between Rong Xi and Ji Tianhua was originally within reason. The second son of the Ji family, who also had an extraordinary appearance, could not explain to outsiders the hidden thoughts of his sister-in-law.
Ji Tianhua's care for Rong Xi was secretive and gentle.
By the time Ji Tianxi gradually felt his brother's affection for his wife, Rong Xi had gradually transformed from the charming young lady into a gentle woman who wanted to marry her. And his feelings for this woman, at a certain moment,...
Ji Tianxi discovered deeply that it was extremely profound.
So the charming and handsome leader of the Ji family began to treat his gentle wife sincerely.
Rong Xi is our young lady, gentle and beautiful, and her response to Ji Tianxi's feelings is also gentle and reserved.
Even if it is subtle, the relationship between the two is getting better and better in the eyes of discerning people.
That year, Ji Tianxi bought a piece of land in Cuba and built a unique hut. He and Rong Xi lived in it for a week.
Three years later, Rong Xi was pregnant with a child. However, due to lack of physical fitness, the first child was aborted. That year happened to be the financial crisis of Ji's family. Ji Tianxi was often not with Rong Xi, taking care of Rong Xi on his behalf.
Xi’s person was Ji Tianhua, the second son of the Ji family at that time.
Rong Xi lacks some sensitivity in some aspects. When she first came to the Ji family, this uncle took good care of her, and the people in the Ji family were also very good to her, so the emotion Rong Xi brought into it was that this
The second son of the Ji family had the same feelings for her as the rest of the Ji family, so she didn't avoid her.
When Ji Tianhua's lips pressed on Rong Xi's forehead, Ji Tianxi opened the door and walked in. Rong Xi, who was sleeping lightly, woke up, got up from the sofa, stared at Ji Tianxi, and said with a smile, "Axi, are you back?"
In the mist, the old man in the water recalled the look on Ji Tianxi's face at that time, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Ji Tianxi's anger was restrained and he had no way of breaking out.
But the servants passing by the door that night could hear the woman's unusual crying sound inside the room, and the servants all ran away quickly with red faces.
Rong Xi was still recovering from the surgery. The invisible violence in her marriage was finally determined by the doctor and she was absolutely not allowed to have any more children within a year.
The day after that night, Ji Tianxi discovered that there was slight bleeding in her body. Rong Xi leaned in his arms with a pale face, and there were still some faint traces of fatigue on her face.
She never knew where the anger came from, and she didn't even know that there was anger hidden in this forced love.
"Axi, it hurts..." Rong Xi put her hand on her abdomen.
Ji Tianxi moved her body away a little and examined her body carefully, only to find that there was a little trace of bleeding and there were red marks on the sheets.
