Luo Yan had always acted very gentlemanly in front of her. She had never seen his cruel side. Even though he had told what happened to Ren Ying before, Qiu Bailu never expected that the complete truth would be so terrifying.
He returned the pain Ren Ying had inflicted on her a thousand times over.
Is this love?
Is this still an assertion of power?
"I don't know... I don't know he is like this... I..." Qiu Bailu didn't know what to say. These bloody truths were overwhelming and made people shudder and unable to deal with it.
"There are still many things you don't know." Ren Ying wiped the tears on her face with her hands, "I know that he is too powerful, and I can't defeat him alone, so after the accident, I
, I can only force myself to endure everything, because I want to live. But he wants to kill them all! He wants to destroy the Qiu family, leaving Huo Dongheng and I with no place to survive, and he wants to force us to death!"
"Wait a minute, what did he do to the Qiu family? If you are talking about grabbing orders, then it was actually me who did it and it had nothing to do with him."
"Everything has to do with him!! Why are you so stupid! How could he personally destroy the Qiu family in order to please you? Then even if you are really relieved, I'm afraid you will have complaints against him afterwards. He
I just want you to do it yourself, and when the thing is done, he will reap the benefits and not only drive me and Huo Dongheng away, but you also have to be grateful to him, who made him fulfill your wish!" Ren Ying was panting as she spoke, her face
It is filled with hatred for Luo Yan.
"But destroying the Qiu family, what good will it do to him?"
"Benefit? You are his benefit." Ren Ying sneered. "He may not care about money, but he cares about you very much. I don't know why. Maybe it's because you have a special appetite for him. Who knows.
If Qiu is gone, you will completely belong to him, and no one can compete with him to snatch you away. This is what he wants to do."
Qiu Bailu's mind was in a mess. She didn't want to believe everything Ren Ying said anyway, but her evasive attitude showed that in fact, in her heart, she knew that what Ren Ying said was very likely.
it is true.
"You can't escape. Qiu Bailu, none of us can escape." Ren Ying continued coldly, "If he doesn't let me have an easy time, I won't let him get what he wants."
"So you drag me into the water. You drag me into your fight."
"This originally happened because of you, how could you be alone. Qiu Bailu, do you still think he is a good person? Compared with him, Huo Dongheng is so soft-hearted. I'm afraid you don't know that the Qiu family is actually in the hands of your father
When Huo Dongheng took over the company, the company would have turned into a mess long ago. You thought it was Huo Dongheng who framed you on the board of directors, so you lost your right
Control of the company? You are too naive. Those old guys, how could they let you take over the company? Those fake accounts they made, hollowed out the company and enriched their own pockets. If you were allowed to take over, you would definitely find that,
If you fall out with them then, won’t all their hard work over the years be in vain?”
"What do you mean? Are you talking about what Huo Dongheng did to protect me?" This is really ridiculous!
"Believe it or not. Although he teamed up with those old guys and looked like he was going to knock you down, in fact, he saved the company for you. You don't have to believe me, you can arrange a neutral accounting firm
Go check the accounts and you will know the truth at a glance."
The suitcase fell to the ground at some point. Qiu Bailu held the door frame with one hand and clasped it on her heart with the other.
Everything Ren Ying said was too shocking. She needed time to confirm it, and she needed time to accept it.
"From beginning to end, the person you hate the most is the one who protects you. How do you feel knowing this?" A miserable smile appeared on Ren Ying's face, "He doesn't love me, but he married me.
It's just because he knows that my family can help him with his immediate needs. He doesn't even care about the child... When I was hospitalized, he only came to see me once... Usually he doesn't go home at all... Sometimes he drinks too much and...
He can hug me, but what he calls out is your name... Qiu Bailu, he is the devil in your heart, so how can you not be the devil in his heart."
For ten years, he stayed with her.
When he was most lonely and helpless, she was by his side, and during the years when she hid herself in despair, he was the one who protected her through the darkness.
No matter how much hatred there is, it can't compete with the passage of time.
What's more, they are husband and wife. He said in front of the altar that he would take care of her for the rest of his life, and he did not lie.
*Lingcheng's clothes are spread on the light-colored floor, forming a mottled pattern.
Qiu Bailu sat in front of these patterns, her long hair hanging down the side of her face. She hugged her shoulders with her hands, like a lost and crying child, quietly.
When Luo Yan came in, he saw this scene.
His heart was inexplicably excited by this.
There is a huge flaw in Qiu Bailu's character. When she encounters problems, she always likes to escape. Although this is related to her early experiences, this kind of character is really bad.
Luo Yan thought that because of her personality, she would not stay in the room honestly. She would definitely find a corner to hide until he caught him out, but he didn't expect...
He stepped forward and placed his palm on Qiu Bailu's shoulder.
Qiu Bailu raised her head and met his eyes for a moment. She was still stunned, as if she didn't recognize Luo Yan, but then she quickly stepped back.
Luo Yan's hand fell empty, and the slight smile on his face froze.
"Did you listen to what Ren Yingdu said?"
"Did you ask her to come?" Qiu Bailu looked at Luo Yan in shock. He already knew what Ren Ying was going to say to her and knew her purpose, but he still let her in and let her say these words?!
Is he crazy? Or is he so confident that Qiu Bailu still believes him after listening to Ren Ying's words?
"If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have been able to get even half a step closer to you. In fact, I knew it from the time she took you to the woods. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made an appointment with Huo Dongheng to meet in that place and listened to what he said for so long.
That's nonsense." Luo Yan took back his hand and lightly dusted the non-existent dust on his sleeves.
Qiu Bailu was so shocked by him that she couldn't say a word, "What on earth are you...what do you want to do? Mr. Luo? What do you want?"
She called him Mr. Luo, not Brother Luo. The difference between the two words was like a chasm between her and Luo Yan.
Luo Yan's heart sank, "Don't you know what I want? Xiaolu, I want you, that's all."
It's not that he has never tasted other women, but her taste is the only one that appeals to him the most. After returning from the sea, he was exhausted both physically and mentally, but this dizzy woman was so sweet and delicious that he almost went crazy for her.
.
Even the tears in the corners of her eyes were sweet.
Qiu Bailu didn't answer, her teeth left a deep mark on her lips. Luo Yan's actions may have been in the name of love and liking, but she really couldn't accept it.
"Why don't you speak?" Luo Yan squatted down and Qiu Bailu shrank back. Luo Yan suddenly reached out and grabbed her shoulders. His hand was so strong that Qiu Bailu couldn't move anymore. "Answer me, why don't you speak?"
!”
"What do you want me to say?" Qiu Bailu's voice trembled. She had a deep fear of Luo Yan. He frightened her more than Huo Dongheng. This fear went deep into her soul, not only because he had once been against him.
The things she did were because...she couldn't see through this person's heart.
"Nothing has changed. Are we still the same as before?" Qiu Bailu had tears in her eyes, and she could not see Luo Yan more and more clearly. She turned her head to the side and looked through the porthole to the sea in the distance. The sea was blue and the sun was shining.
On it, like a thin layer of gold shavings, her voice was extremely soft, not as if she was speaking to Luo Yan, but more as if she was speaking to herself, "How can it be the same? Knowing all this, how do you want me to face it?
"
"What's the big deal? Since what has happened cannot be changed, why can't you accept it calmly?"
"That's you, not me. Please forgive me, Mr. Luo, I don't have such a strong mental power, nor such a tolerant heart." Qiu Bailu closed her eyes. She is not someone who accepts others easily. Luo Yan only
His foot had already entered her heart, but if something like this happened...she had to drive him out.
Luo Yan's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked extremely irritable, losing his usual gentlemanly demeanor. "Repaying evil with kindness, why repay kindness with kindness? Do you think my treatment of Ren Ying was too cruel? Then why don't you think about it, if I didn't find you that day?
, what will you do to her? It's unfair for you to treat me like this, Xiaolu, I did the right thing, but you made the wrong decision."
Qiu Bailu said nothing. She knew that most of what Luo Yan said was right. She had never won an argument with him, but the truth was the truth, and the reality was the reality. She had a strong feeling of repulsion towards this man in her heart.
.
Not only because of what he did to Ren Ying, but also because he gave her a first night that she will never forget.
So painful, so scary, so dark.
She will never forget the terror and pain he left her in her entire life. Even if she dies, this shadow will linger on her soul for a long time.
"If you are still angry for giving me your first stupid time, then I am willing to make up for it, Xiaolu, marry me, and I will be good to you." Luo Yan turned around and knelt on one knee in front of her.
.
A strong bitter taste overflowed from Qiu Bailu's heart, and she shook her head gently.
Luo Yan took a deep breath, "Don't agree? Give me a reason."
"There is no reason...it's just that I...don't want to..."
