She didn't want to hear this man's voice anymore, but just hearing him speak, the hatred boiling in her heart couldn't be calmed down.
After doing all this, Qiu Bailu let out a long breath and looked at the pot of noodles again. Why did it become cold after such a short time? It was so cold that it was hard to eat anymore.
.
This was her first birthday alone, and she was not used to it, but she knew that she had to get used to it immediately, because there would be many, many more birthdays like this to celebrate in the future.
It's like, even if she's not used to having someone around her anymore, and she can't rely on that person for anything in the future, she still has to endure it, because that person no longer belongs to her.
Summer is coming to an end and autumn is coming, and in a blink of an eye it’s Qiu Chengjia’s death anniversary.
Qiu Chengjia's ashes were placed in the cemetery on the outskirts of Binhai City, staying with Qiu Bailu's mother. On the day Qiu Bailu went to visit her parents, it happened to be drizzling.
The weather in early autumn is not very cold, but the cemetery is built halfway up the mountain, open in all directions, and the cool breeze blowing with raindrops makes people shudder. Qiu Bailu held up a big black umbrella, and when passing by the cemetery, Chang
The hem of the long windbreaker was soaked by the drizzle on the tombstone.
Some honeysuckle plants were planted between each tombstone. Their branches were hard and their small leaves were washed extremely clean by the rain.
There was a person standing in front of his father's grave. Qiu Bailu stopped and Huo Dongheng was far away from her.
Huo Dongheng did not hold an umbrella. The rain wet his hair, and water dropped down his strong jaw. There was a beautifully wrapped bouquet of white flowers placed in front of his father's tombstone.
Qiu Bailu glanced at him and stopped a few dozen meters away from him, motionless.
Huo Dongheng turned his head away and looked at the photo on Qiu Chengjia's tombstone, wondering what he was thinking.
"It's raining so hard, but he has to come. I don't know what he thinks." A woman's voice sounded from behind Qiu Bailu. Qiu Bailu didn't look back, and she knew who it was.
"Miss Ren, or should I call you Mrs. Huo?"
Who said such words to her in the past, but now the situation has changed, and she has returned it as it is. Everyone is the only daughter of the Qiu family, the girl with the best temper, the gentlest, and the least scheming, but Qiu Bailu is not
Don't think so.
She has no scheming because she doesn't need to resort to tricks, because she can get what she wants easily. But for people like Ren Ying, not having scheming is tantamount to seeking death.
"Miss Qiu has a very good memory. It seems she has a grudge against me." Ren Ying walked around from behind Qiu Bailu. She always liked makeup and had a plain face with a few small freckles on her face, but
It did not affect her beauty. She was wearing a thick cashmere coat and a pair of matching flat sneakers. Qiu Bailu's eyes stayed on her waist, even though the coat completely covered her figure.
She was stunned, but Qiu Bailu could still see that her lower abdomen had bulged slightly.
My heart felt cold. It turned out that the pain was so extreme that I couldn't feel the pain. All I felt was coldness.
Bone-breaking cold.
"Shouldn't I hate you? If you do those things to me, any human being would hate you." Qiu Bailu said lightly, this is the place where her father rests. She doesn't want to fall out with Ren Ying, but if she doesn't know what's good for her,
...Then don't blame her for not showing mercy to her.
"Giggle." Ren Ying smiled softly and gently stroked her belly with her palms, "But even if it's hate, what can I do? It's me who is with Dong Heng now, and my family is taking care of me in every possible way.
It’s me, and my child... he will grow up healthy and happy... but you..."
Ren Ying leaned over and said, "You have nothing left. You can't even have children, you pathetic loser."
"Really? You think so?" Qiu Bailu raised her head, with a quiet smile on her lips. In the eyes of outsiders, that smile is the most gentle and beautiful, but Ren Ying could see disdain in it. Qiu Bailu learned from childhood
Etiquette, she knows best what kind of eyes can hurt people invisible, what kind of tone can make people unable to escape.
"What you think you have is nothing more than what I don't want anymore. Whether it's a man, a child, or even your family..." Qiu Bailu paused, "Are you really so sure that the care they give you today is not for
One day I will successfully lose you again? Miss Ren, don’t always be like this and only focus on the present. People should take a long-term view. Only when they can stay lonely can they wait for flowers to bloom. "
"What do you mean?!" Ren Ying frowned. She could tell that something was wrong with Qiu Bailu's words.
But Qiu Bailu didn't want to explain to her. She tilted her head slightly and said with twinkling eyes like an innocent little girl, "Also, how do you know that you can give birth to this child safely?"
"What do you mean!!"
"It's nothing interesting. I just kindly reminded Miss Ren that there are still many years before he grows up. Anything can happen in these years. After all, he is still so young...just like my child..."
I didn't expect Qiu Bailu to say these words. In Ren Ying's heart, she had always been a woman who would never resist being bullied until she died. Like a poisonous snake, wrapping around her neck, Ren Ying took a step back quickly because of the rain.
The steps were soaked, so her feet slipped.
In the flash of lightning, Qiu Bailu reached out and pulled her, but Ren Ying just stood firm and immediately opened her hand heavily.
"Dong Heng, she wants to hurt me!!" Seeing Huo Dongheng coming over, Ren Ying immediately ran over and cried to Huo Dongheng with her belly in her hands. Huo Dongheng raised his eyebrows, and Qiu Bailu covered her red palms without saying a word.
"I saw it. It was Bai Lu who pulled you up so that you didn't fall. How could you hit you with a rake?" Huo Dongheng's voice was a little unhappy. He came to the cemetery today and originally planned to be alone, but Ren Ying said nothing.
She wanted to follow, but Huo Dongheng refused, so she used the child as a threat. Huo Dongheng was too lazy to argue with her, so he asked her to follow him. But he didn't expect that even though she was here, she was so troublesome.
Ren Ying was stunned by what Huo Dongheng said, and after a while she said in a tearful tone, "Dongheng, you said that about me too? Do you still think of her in your heart, so you have to defend her at all times? Do you know what she just said?
?She cursed our children not to grow up well, just like hers..."
"Ren Ying, stop talking." His heart contracted hard. Huo Dongheng stopped what Ren Ying was about to say. He turned his head, but he didn't dare to look at Qiu Bailu's face. He was afraid of seeing anything on her face.
tears.
Qiu Bailu, however, did not feel any discomfort at all. She was still standing there calmly holding an umbrella, her expression as calm as if the dispute had nothing to do with her. The corners of her eyes were slightly drooped, and her long eyelashes were like two folded wings.
Like a butterfly, when Huo Dongheng looked at her, she smiled and said, "It's okay, Mr. Huo. I was a little rushed when I spoke just now, but I have no ill intentions. I sincerely hope that the love child between you and Miss Ren can grow up smoothly.
, don’t be like me, with a miserable life experience. If Miss Ren has any misunderstanding about me, I am also very sorry. The only way, I am afraid, is that we will never meet again in the future, don’t you think so, Mr. Huo? "
"Xiao Lu..."
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. I hope Mr. Huo will not come to disturb my father's burial in the future. If he knows that the adopted son he raised by himself first took away his company after his death,
Then he let someone break off his daughter's fingers, just because he was afraid that he would die with his eyes open. Just do it as a good thing and don't let him die unsafely. Is that okay?"
If her people weren't here, Huo Dongheng would never believe that Qiu Bailu said these words in person. When did her heart become so hard, so hard that it hurt even if he touched her.
"In that case, we won't disturb you. Xiaolu, you...take care of yourself." Huo Dongheng said with difficulty. Ren Ying was unwilling to leave, "Dongheng, when she said such things, don't you
No matter what? What if something happens to me..."
"Aren't you okay? Besides, I trust you and I won't let anything happen to me easily, right? Miss Ren, if it weren't for your current status and having this child, do you think he would marry you?"
Qiu Bailu said softly from the side, "Do you really think that if he loves you, you will have to marry him?"
Ren Ying's face suddenly turned ugly. She wanted to refute Qiu Bailu's words, but she couldn't say anything because she knew that Qiu Bailu was telling the truth. If Huo Dongheng really liked her, he would have been with her a few years ago.
She was together, she had been waiting for so long, looking forward to it for so long, God finally opened her eyes and allowed her to have him, but all this was not because he loved her... but because...
"Dong Heng..." Ren Ying looked at Huo Dongheng as if asking for help. Huo Dongheng pulled her away stiffly, "Let's go, it's still raining. Your body is not suitable for going out in this kind of weather. Be careful of slippery roads."
Although Huo Dongheng said this, he walked very fast without looking at Ren Ying, as if he didn't care about her body. When Ren Ying saw him leaving, she had no choice but to follow him cautiously.
After the two of them had gone far, Qiu Bailu came to Qiu Chengjia's tomb and looked at her father's portrait. She let go of her hand and dropped her umbrella. Qiu Bailu numbly took aside the bouquet offered by Huo Dongheng, and then
He threw it hard into the grass.
"Dad...I did it..." she murmured softly, "I did it...I didn't cry when I saw him again. Ren Ying's words were so unpleasant, but I said them even more unpleasantly than her... It turns out I care about someone
People can really make people weak. I will no longer be weak, I will become strong. Dad, don’t worry, your daughter will not be bullied anymore."
Even if I become the kind of person I hate the most, I can tolerate it as long as I am no longer bullied.
