After talking to Aunt Zhou for a while, Qiu Bailu got up and went to find Huo Dongheng. Even though she was reluctant in every way, she still had to face him.
Qiu Chengjia's study room has now become Huo Dongheng's. The layout of the study room has not changed, except that there is a portrait of Qiu Chengjia on the wall. In the painting, Qiu Chengjia is looking softly into the distance.
Huo Dongheng sat in front of the neatly arranged book wall, with his shirt half taken off, revealing his muscular upper body.
The blisters on the back of his hands have now appeared, and each one is shiny and scary. Huo Dongheng waved his hand towards Qiu Bailu, "These blisters need to be opened. I can't do it myself."
"You can ask Luo Zheng. Isn't your cooperation always pleasant?" Qiu Bailu said calmly and stood still.
Huo Dongheng smiled disapprovingly and said, "Don't hate him because of that thing. I coerced him, and he fell for it stupidly. He is not a surgeon, he can't do this kind of thing. Come here, my hands
It’s inconvenient, and besides, it’s all because of you.”
Qiu Bailu was speechless by him, so she had to step forward and put his hand angrily, "If he can't do it, how can I do it?! Why don't you find a professional doctor? Aren't you afraid that I will cripple you?!"
She gritted her teeth as she spoke, but the movements of her hands were very gentle. The oily skin on the blisters was shiny and broke when touched, and pus and blood flowed out.
"Didn't I ask for it myself? Xiaolu, I believe you." A thin layer of sweat appeared on Huo Dongheng's forehead. He looked at her intently, with a tenderness in his eyes that he didn't even notice.
Qiu Bailu opened her mouth to ask him if it hurt, but she swallowed her words again. It didn't matter to her whether he hurt or not. It was best to let him feel pain, let him taste the pain she had suffered, and it would be better to die from the pain.
!
Feeling angry in her heart, she unconsciously struck harder. Huo Dongheng grunted and his eyebrows knitted together in pain. He felt that he was really asking for trouble, and he might have a bad day today.
Qiu Bailu concentrated on treating the injury, and the atmosphere in the study was peaceful and peaceful for a while.
"I didn't expect you haven't forgotten how to deal with burns..." Huo Dongheng's words brought back Qiu Bailu's memories several years ago.
At that time, Qiu Bailu was still young. When Huo Dongheng was busy with school and had no time to pay attention to her, Qin Zhen couldn't take her with him when he went to special training. Qiu Bailu was alone and had no one to accompany her, so she had to go with the other people of the same age in the villa group.
The children mingled together.
A distant relative of someone's child sent some sweet potatoes grown on their own land, and the children stole them out. After some discussion, the boys decided to hide in the back of the mountain to bake the sweet potatoes.
Because Qiu Bailu was the youngest and she was a girl, those wild boys did not like to take her to play. They ran very fast and soon left Qiu Bailu behind, leaving her so angry that she stamped her feet and cried alone.
Qiu Bailu went home sobbing, and the more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became, so she took advantage of everyone's break at noon and ran to the kitchen to bake something to eat. She had never done any work since she was born.
In addition, she was short in stature, so she managed to light the fire and heat the pot, but she was already so tired that she was paralyzed. Fortunately, it was because she was not strong enough that she avoided a catastrophe.
She just heard someone talking about roasting sweet potatoes, so she thought it was just a matter of roasting the sweet potatoes in a pot. The Qiu family didn't have that, so she put a few potatoes in the pot, lit the fire and waited.
Huo Dongheng came back from school and saw no sign of her. When he found Qiu Bailu in the kitchen, she was trying to take the pot off the stove on tiptoes. Huo Dongheng saw several burnt things about to be removed from the pot.
It rolled down, so he stepped forward and snatched the pot away.
Huo Dongheng's palms were burned with several big blisters. Qiu Bailu was so frightened that she cried loudly. Huo Dongheng was so painful that he was sweating all over and had to comfort her.
Later, Qiu Chengjia invited a doctor over, and Qiu Bailu followed him all the time. Seeing others treating Huo Dongheng's injuries, she had to get involved...
The past is like a knife. The knife cuts through the flesh on the apex of a person's heart, saving you from death but making you miserable. Recalling these past events, Qiu Bailu always has an unreal feeling. She doesn't understand the person who once treated her so much.
How could a man who was so good and treated her like a treasure become so ruthless as soon as he turned around.
Who is the real him? After wearing the mask for so long, doesn't he feel tired?
Qiu Bailu treated Huo Dongheng's injury, got up and walked to the book wall.
Many things in this room were designed and made by her. Not only this room, but also many furniture in this house were made from design drawings drawn by Qiu Bailu and then made bit by bit by the master.
She originally thought she would live here for the rest of her life. She was an engineer who created homes and happiness for others, but her own life was in a mess.
She ran her fingers across the ancient original book, and saw the gold characters on the spine. A thin layer of dust fell on the undulating patterns, and Qiu Bailu sighed.
My father likes to collect antique books. These books are all found by him from all over the world. When he has nothing to do, he will always take out a few books to read. He will wipe the entire bookshelf himself without leaving hands. But now that he is gone, these books are gone.
When people look at it... how can they not feel sad when a pearl is covered in dust?
Huo Dongheng saw Qiu Bailu's eyes flickering and knew that she must have something on her mind, so he followed her, "If you can't bear to live here, just move back. I haven't changed anything at home. If you are dissatisfied with anything, you can tell me.
I asked them to redecorate it."
"The only thing I'm not satisfied with is that you are here. Can you disappear? If you leave, I will come back." Qiu Bailu replied coldly.
Huo Dongheng seemed to have expected that she would not say good things to him, so he didn't care. He still said calmly, "This is not okay. I am the head of the family. How can I leave so easily. It doesn't matter if you don't plan to come back. I'm looking at a few
The place is not pleasing to the eye, and I want to tear it down. Take the rose garden for example, I think it is too redundant, so I might as well shovel it and dig a swimming pool..."
"Huo Dongheng, how dare you!" The rose garden is right in front of Qiu Bailu's studio. The roses planted there were all Qiu's mother's favorites during her lifetime. Apart from the studio, Qiu Bailu's favorite place at home is there. But now Huo Dongheng spoke.
If you keep silent, you will destroy it!
"Why don't I dare? Since you don't plan to live here for a long time, why should I keep those eyesores? Xiaolu, don't forget, this villa is also the property of Qiu's Construction, and now the entire Qiu's
It belongs to me, even if I burn this place to the ground, no one will say anything."
His arrogant attitude made people feel disgusted, and the gratitude Qiu Bailu had just shown to Huo Donghengsheng also disappeared because of this.
"You don't believe it? In fact, I can call the workers over right now. You are a designer. You should understand that it is much easier to destroy a building than to build one." Huo Dongheng took out his mobile phone and pressed a few buttons on it.
Digital, Qiu Bailu could almost hear the noisy sound coming from the receiver when the phone was connected.
She stepped forward, snatched the phone away, and threw it aside, "You win, I will come back here, please stop ruining this house, okay?!"
"It would be great if you were so obedient earlier." Huo Dongheng chuckled, "Actually, you have another choice. If you are willing, you can take this villa back from me, as long as you pay a small price."
A little of him may be everything to her. Even though she knew that he would definitely speak loudly, Qiu Bailu still wanted to hear what the little price in Huo Dongheng's mouth meant, "You said, as long as I can afford it, I will
I will definitely get you out of here as soon as possible."
"Oh, you can definitely afford this price." Huo Dongheng whispered in her ear, "I just want you to stay with me for one night and redeem a house, how about it?"
"Huo Dongheng, you can be a little more shameless! Who do you think I am? A prostitute?!" Qiu Bailu's face turned pale and pale. If the words hadn't still lingered in her ears, she would never have believed that he would say such things to her!
"Xiao Lu, how could you misunderstand my good intentions?" Qiu Bailu was so angry that her whole body was shaking, but Huo Dongheng didn't care, "This is not something that only benefits me. You have to know how much this villa can be sold now.
The price is high, the price of a house...I'm afraid your worth is not that high."
Qiu Bailu waved her hand away without thinking, and Huo Dongheng grabbed her wrist, "Why haven't you longed for memory? Do you think I can always tolerate you? Not every time you are so lucky!"
"I have no luck at all! All my luck has been exhausted by you, you bastard! If I still had any luck, how could I end up like this?! How could my father and mother leave me?
How could the company they worked so hard to build fall into the hands of others?! You... Huo Dongheng... you!!" She couldn't continue, her voice choked with sobs, "How could you humiliate me like this?"
A layer of mist had already risen in her eyes, but she resisted the tears from falling. Such fragile stubbornness made people feel distressed. Huo Dongheng's heart hurt, but he forced himself to go overboard, and his cold voice spoke again
rang, "Do you think this is humiliating? Then you can leave now. Your dignity is so important, why do you have to force yourself to stay here? But please remember, you hate me so much, but at least I will give you
You have a choice. Besides me, who else can give you a chance to choose? You can choose to leave immediately, if you don't care about the future of this house and the fate of those old servants!"
If possible, Qiu Bailu wanted to leave immediately, but when she thought of Aunt Zhou, Uncle Wang, and the old servants who were closely related to the fate of the Qiu family, her feet felt like they were nailed by cross nails and she could no longer lift them.
stand up.
There are not many people related to her left in her life, and she doesn't want these people to suffer because of her.
