Lu Chengxi stood by the door for a long time. He seemed to be frozen. His heart had already jumped in, but his legs were as heavy as lead and motionless.
Finally, when he saw Tong Jiangxin slowly walking out of the house wearing bloody clothes, his heart finally sank.
Tong Jiangxin's hair was messy, and there were blood stains on her clothes, hands, and face. She looked like she had fought a big battle.
She walked straight to the door, not looking at Lu Chengxi, but staring at something unfocused.
The moment she passed by him, Lu Chengxi suddenly whispered, "Where are you going?"
Tong Jiangxin did not stop, but continued to walk forward in a daze.
Lu Chengxi frowned slightly, turned around, and said to her back, "You made such a big mistake and just want to leave like this?"
Tong Jiangxin still didn't look back, but replied in a very low voice, "I don't want anything anymore. If you want it, just take it..."
Lu Chengxi's heart suddenly ached. Looking at her back, she looked so weak, as if she would disappear at any time.
He was suddenly afraid of her disappearance. Before his consciousness became clear, he opened his mouth and said, "Do you really want nothing? Tong Jianghao? The Tong family? Half of the country that your father brought down?"
Tong Jiangxin's footsteps finally stopped, and Lu Chengxi breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't look back immediately, and he couldn't see the expression on her face.
I don't know how long it took before Tong Jiangxin replied, "I don't want it anymore... I can never afford it. If you like it so much, just take it all."
Her voice was soft, but it contained too much helplessness and exhaustion.
The fear in Lu Chengxi's heart increased, because Tong Jiangxin's weakness has always been the Tong family. As long as he uses the Tong family to threaten her, it will be tried and tested. But now, she said that she didn't want anything, she gave up, gave up on Tong
Home, gave up everything, and also... gave up on him.
After saying this, Tong Jiangxin took steps and walked forward.
Lu Chengxi looked at Tong Jiangxin's vain steps. The moment she opened the elevator door, he suddenly stepped forward like crazy, grabbed her wrist, and shouted, "Tong Jiangxin!"
Tong Jiangxin was pulled by him to face sideways. Her face was expressionless and her eyes were dead.
Lu Chengxi couldn't tell whether it was fear or distress. He just felt a dull feeling in his heart and a discomfort in his chest. Just as he was about to say something, he found that the blood flowing down her wrist turned his hand red.
.
His pupils shrank, and upon closer inspection, he discovered that Tong Jiangxin's palm had a large bloody cut, and blood was flowing downwards.
"Are you crazy?!"
Lu Chengxi's low voice was filled with anger.
When Tong Jiangxin saw his appearance, she raised the corners of her lips and smiled.
"I am crazy...I am crazy to believe that you are my last life-saving straw..."
She was smiling, but the sadness in her eyes was so obvious that it couldn't be ignored.
When Lu Chengxi met Tong Jiangxin's gaze, his whole body felt as if he had been pricked by needles. It hurt, but there were no wounds.
Tong Jiangxin wanted to retract her wrist, but Lu Chengxi wanted to grab it, but in fact, his fingers were loosening little by little, and he watched helplessly as she stepped into the elevator.
Tong Jiangxin stood in the elevator, face to face with Lu Chengxi, until the elevator door slowly closed.
At the last glance, Lu Chengxi saw a smile on Tong Jiangxin's face and lowered his gaze slightly, but a large tear fell.
The elevator door had been closed, but Lu Chengxi seemed to have suddenly realized something and pressed the elevator button again.
When the elevator door reopened, Lu Chengxi saw Tong Jiangxin who had fainted in the elevator. He was stunned for a second, then immediately rushed over and picked her up.
Tong Jiangxin was in a daze, feeling hot all over her body, as if she had been cooked by hot water. She wanted to ask for a glass of cold water, but her throat seemed to be sealed, and she could not make a sound.
In the blur, a hand much lower than her body temperature reached between her back and the bed, helping her up. Then, she felt a cold feeling on her lips, and then cold water flowed down her throat.
, and slides all the way into the stomach.
She felt a little better, but she couldn't open her eyes and could only continue to sleep deeply.
Tong Jiangxin didn't know that she had slept for two days and two nights, and her fever had reached nearly 40 degrees, and she was going crazy.
When she opened her eyes again, the first thing she saw was the white carved ceiling, surrounded by elegant furnishings. She frowned slightly, moved her fingers, and looked to the right. There was an IV stand next to the bed, and she was getting an infusion.
Just when she didn't know where she was, there was a small sound of the door opening outside, and then a woman dressed as a nurse walked in, holding a white tray in her hand.
Seeing that Tong Jiangxin was awake, she smiled lightly and said, "You're awake. Do you feel better?"
Tong Jiangxin didn't answer but asked, "Where is this?"
The nurse replied, "This is Mr. Lu's home, and I am the nurse he invited to take care of you. You have been sick for several days."
When Tong Jiangxin heard Lu Chengxi's name, she subconsciously frowned and whispered, "Have you returned to Hong Kong?"
The nurse replied, "No, this is America."
Tong Jiangxin listened, expressionless, and stopped talking.
The nurse took Tong Jiangxin's temperature and said that it had dropped a bit. She had a wound on her hand and could not get it wet. She would need an intravenous drip for two more days.
After the nurse went out, Tong Jiangxin reached out and pulled out the needle in her hand. Her blood vessels were very thin and blood began to bleed immediately. She picked up the tissue from the bedside table to cover it, and then turned over and got out of bed.
Holding back the paralysis all over, Tong Jiangxin stood up, stepped on the white shag carpet with bare feet, and walked towards the door.
Before her fingers even touched the door handle, the door had already been pushed open from the outside. Standing beside the door was Lu Chengxi in casual clothes.
After not seeing him for a few days, Tong Jiangxin felt that he was a little tired, and maybe it was a misunderstanding, and his eyes were faintly red.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Tong Jiangxin looked away first. She wanted to go out, but Lu Chengxi blocked her in front of her. Although she was not happy, she could only reluctantly say, "Get out of the way."
Lu Chengxi was a head taller than Tong Jiangxin. When she lowered her head slightly, he saw her long eyelashes and his heart skipped a beat. He had already said, "Where are you going?"
Tong Jiangxin only thought it was funny and couldn't help laughing, and then said, "Go back to Hong Kong."
Now that things have happened, does he still pretend to be like this with her?
When Lu Chengxi saw her mocking look, he couldn't help but frown and said, "When you get better, I'll go back with you."
