Lin Jiu walked with mechanical steps, slowly stopped in front of him, raised the photo in his hand, and stared at him with reddish eyes, "Why?"
"Why do you have this picture?"
Ling Jiuyue's peripheral vision fell on the photo. She had just taken this photo out of the safe last night, and before she had time to put it back, she didn't expect it to be seen by her so soon; she hadn't thought about it at all...
Seeing that he was silent, Lin Jiu slammed the photo on his chest; the light photo floated downwards without power, and she asked again: "I didn't know you at all at that time! How could you be like this?
Photo?”
"Or..." Lin Jiu paused, and her hands hanging by her sides clenched weakly at Chengquan, "I should ask you this, when did you first see me?"
"When meeting Si Lan..."
"You're lying!!" Lin Jiu's cold voice interrupted him. Ling Jiuyue responded almost reflexively, "I didn't lie!"
Suddenly, the two people faced each other and just stared at each other through the cold air, but the atmosphere was like a thunderous fire, about to explode; dignified, dull, and even the oxygen became very thin...
The cold voice continued to echo in the air, and when it gradually dissipated, the study became extremely quiet, so quiet that one could hear each other's heartbeats and breathing...
The photo fell gently to the ground like a needle, right next to Ling Jiuyue. He slowly bent down, his white and slender fingers had clear bones, picked up the photo and pinched a corner tightly, his eyes met Lin Jiushi, one word
After a pause, he said: "Whether you believe it or not, that was really the first time I saw you..."
Lin Jiu stared at him silently and bit her lip subconsciously. If that was really the first time they met, how could Ling Jiuyue have this photo?
*******I am the dividing line of the pure young master************
"Mom, why are you doing this?" Liang Moge lamented, looking at her with eyes full of disappointment, "Do you know how much I like her? How much I want to introduce her to you and dad... Do you know
If it weren't for you, she would be marrying me now, not Ling Jiuyue!!"
"I just don't want her to marry you! Son... listen to mom..." Liang Wenhui was flustered and anxious, because Liang Moge had never spoken loudly or yelled at her in such an attitude since she was a child; she felt wronged.
Tears immediately came to her eyes, "Mom is doing this for your own good. You don't know that she is not worthy of you at all. She is just an orphan, and she is...".
"That's enough!" Liang Moge scolded her loudly. Does she still want to say this now? "Is it really that important in your eyes to be well-matched? I don't know better than you what kind of person she is and whether she is worthy of me.
?”
"Ge Ge..." Liang Wenhui's tears fell silently, and she burst into tears, "Mom really does it for your own good... I know you don't believe me, but there's no need for Mom to lie to you... She really
of……"
Before she could finish speaking, Liang Moge strode out, expressing his dissatisfaction and inner anger directly with actions.
"Ge Ge...where are you going?" Liang Wenhui was startled and immediately turned around and grabbed his arm: "Where are you going now?"
"I have grown up, and I don't need to report to you even if I want to go somewhere!" Liang Moge shook her hand away with force...
Liang Wenhui didn't stand firm for a moment, and took several steps back. Finally, she fell to the ground and hit her head on the coffee table. Blood suddenly gushed out, and screams suddenly started.
Liang Moge was stunned for a moment, turned around and was stunned when he saw the dazzling bright red on Liang Wenhui's face. He quickly stepped forward to hug her, and said nervously and panicked: "Mom... how are you?"
"I'm sorry...Mom, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to push you down..."
Liang Wenhui leaned weakly in his arms, waved her hands tremblingly, tears flashing in the corners of her eyes, and her weak voice was weak, "It's okay... Mom... I don't blame you... I don't blame you..."
Before he finished speaking, his eyelids drooped down and he passed out.
"Mom...Mom..." Liang Moge's nervous face turned pale as he shouted: "Call an ambulance, call an ambulance quickly!!"
…
"If you are not lying, why can't you explain the origin of this photo?" Lin Jiushui looked at him intently, full of questions and longing, eager to get the answer, her thin eyelashes trembled slightly, casting a green shadow,
"Ling Jiuyue, please explain!"
Ling Jiuyue didn't speak, just glanced at her, turned around and walked towards the living room at a very slow pace, each step weighing as much as a thousand pounds.
Lin Jiu followed him without saying a word, like a silent shadow, until he walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down. He took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from under the coffee table, lit a cigarette and took a deep puff.
, white mist curls around, the clouds and fog are blurry, only the sparks flicker bright and dim...
Ling Jiuyue rarely smoked. After knowing him for such a long time, it seemed like this was the first time Lin Jiu saw him smoking in front of her.
It was only at this moment that I realized that Ling Jiuyue knew how to smoke...
Lin Jiu looked at him deeply for a few seconds, then sat down opposite him without saying a word, put her hands in front of her knees, grabbed her clothes involuntarily, and glanced at him uneasily from time to time.
"The first time I met you was indeed the meeting with Si Lan, and the same goes for knowing your name. I didn't lie..." Ling Jiuyue's faint voice was an understatement, as if she was describing something that had nothing to do with her.
.The cigarette is held between the fingertips, and the smoke slowly surges up, in circles, and slowly disappears into the air, leaving only a faint smell of tobacco.
"But I knew you existed a few years ago...At that time, I didn't know your name or what you did..."
Lin Jiu opened her eyes wide and was so nervous that she even forgot to breathe. She seriously wanted to hear his words clearly and hear them word for word.
"Where should we start talking about this matter... It seems that we should start talking about Liang Moge staying in the United States."
Ling Jiuyue glanced at her sideways and spoke casually. Her eyes were deep and calm, her outlines were blurred, and her expression seemed to be deep in memories.
"At that time, he was determined to stay in the United States, and his family's objections were useless. Through connections, he entered the police station there as an intern. We are the best brothers, and we always keep in touch no matter how busy we are..."
"Someone said that the first thing a woman loses when she falls in love is her best friend. In fact, the same is true for men. Liang Moge didn't contact me for a long time. It happened that I had a very difficult case during that time, and
I have never contacted him. Besides, the two men are not that sticky..."
"Then late one night, I suddenly received a call from him. It turned out that he had returned to China. I was in the hospital and almost didn't recognize him -" Ling Jiuyue paused and looked at her deeply, "At that time he
He was skinny and lonely, smoking and drinking, haggard and extremely decadent. This is the first time I have seen him look like that in so many years."
"The doctor told me that he was in a car accident while driving drunk. Fortunately, no one else was hurt. He himself was seriously injured. In order not to worry his parents, he asked me to suppress the matter. He is lying in hospital.
After a month, I found someone to take care of him..."
Lin Jiu had a stunned look on his face. He straightened his spine while sitting, and his eyes were filled with tears. Liang Moge had been in a car accident before, and he didn't know it at all...
Oh, how could I know? At that time, I was afraid that I would hate him so much in my heart that I couldn't even hide from him, so how could I be willing to hear news about him?
Ling Jiuyue calmly took in Lin Jiu's reaction, and continued without any strangeness: "He did not return to the United States after being discharged from the hospital, nor did he return to the Liang family. He is temporarily staying at my place, but he just keeps going every day
He smoked and drank too much. There was a time when he couldn't even speak because of smoking... It was also during that time that I learned to smoke because of him."
"Seeing my best brother so degenerate and decadent, I tried my best to give him a hand. But many times I asked him why he refused to say a word. He just kept asking 'why' when he was drunk.
; Once he was drunk and I saw the photo in his clothes, and I probably knew the reason. I secretly put the photo in the safe, and he kept looking for it when he woke up. I advised him not to look for it.
Then we had a fight..."
"I woke him up, and after he recognized the truth, he took a few days off and returned to the United States, promising me that he would never do this again... This photo has been in my safe forever. I didn't take it out until last night...
…”
If it hadn't been for this photo, Lin Jiu would never have known in his life that Liang Moge once had such a decadent and dark time that he couldn't bear to look back on.
"So..." Lin Jiu's mind went blank. She looked at him, her lips trembling and colliding together, and her voice was weak: "You recognized me when you first saw me. You should have known that Liang Moge and I were
There is a period of time in the past, so you will not be surprised at all when you see the picture on the wedding day, so..."
Lin Jiu's voice was almost broken, and she continued intermittently: "You and I are getting married..."
"It's to retaliate against you for torturing my best brother, making him decadent, suffering pain and torture; for this reason, I want to marry you to avenge you." Ling Jiu Yueping's voice was as calm as a mirror, calm and calm.
The exchange of words was shocking and painful, "Oh, it turns out that in your heart, I am such a despicable man."
"I……"
Ling Jiuyue didn't listen to her words, a cold look flashed in her eyes, and the cigarette butts on her fingertips were annihilated in the crystal ashtray. She stood up and walked towards the study room with rapid strides, still holding the photo in her hand.
Many words felt like thorns in her throat, and she couldn't swallow them. Tears rolled stubbornly in her eyes, refusing to come down. It wasn't that she wanted to insult Ling Jiuyue's character, it was just that too many things happened at once, and her mind was in a mess.
I can't think of anything.
The air is filled with the faint smell of tobacco, the cold oxygen flows silently, and the heart and lungs are also frozen when inhaled, so cold that it is suffocating; the limbs are stiff, the surroundings are unreasonably quiet, and the scenery outside the window is dimming little by little; the neon lights
Bit by bit it lights up. The bright moon rises into the sky, and the deserted moonlight falls on the floor, which is extremely desolate.
The first quarrel between two people was not a quarrel, and the cold silence was not even a cold war, but it hurt people's hearts and tore them apart.
******I am the pure young master dividing line*****
"You bastard!" Yang Guoyao knew that his son had pushed his wife into the hospital. When he rushed over, Liang Wenhui had already been transferred to the ordinary ward. He couldn't help scolding the unfaithful son.
"Ahem..." Liang Wenhui coughed a few times, tugged on Yang Guoyao's sleeve, and said weakly: "I'm fine... I just accidentally fell. It's none of Gege's business. Don't scold him..."
"This bastard was spoiled by you. Now you are still indulging him..." Yang Guoyao was so angry that his nose was spitting fire. Liang Moge, who was scolded, stood aside and did not refute.
"I'm happy to pamper my son, not to mention... you pampered my son even more when he was a child than me..." Liang Wenhui got angry and took a few deep breaths, "Go find a doctor and ask me why I feel so uncomfortable breathing.
My heart feels dull and uncomfortable.”
Yang Guoyao glared at his son fiercely. Knowing that his wife wanted to protect his son, he hesitated for a moment and said sternly: "Take care of your mother!"
Turn around and walk out of the ward.
Liang Moge walked to the hospital bed and stood there, lowered his head, and said deeply apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mom!!"
Liang Wenhui stretched out her hand to pull him, but Liang Moge quickly took her hand and sat down, "Mom, don't move around, or you'll get dizzy again soon."
"Mom is fine..." Liang Wenhui looked at him with doting eyes and said sincerely: "You were born to me, don't I know what you are like?"
"Mom..." Liang Moge's heart was in confusion for a moment.
Originally, he was angry with her for breaking up Xiaojiu and him, otherwise he and Xiaojiu should be happily together now; but at the same time, he thought about how kind and indulgent Liang Wenhui had been to him over the years, and every time he made his father angry, it was his mother who was there
To protect himself; he has never been beaten by his father since he was a child. It's not that his father is reluctant to beat him, but every time he wants to be beaten, his mother will protect him behind her...
My mother supports me if I want to study abroad; my mother secretly supports me if I want to stay there...
This is the mother who gave birth to him, raised him, and doted on him for so many years. No matter how angry and resentful he is, he can't really hate her or hurt her...
"Son, no matter how much you hate or annoy Mom, Mom will still say..." Liang Wenhui held his hand tightly and sighed: "You are right to say that Mom values being well-matched; but think about this situation now.
No family in society has such an idea. Well, even if I put aside this old idea, even if she is an orphan, I don’t mind her life and identity. Just as a woman, I will not let her enter the Yang family.
.”
"Why?" Liang Moge looked at her in confusion, "Why? Mom?"
"Because...because..." Liang Wenhui hesitated, but before she could say anything, tears fell down in grievance, and she was too embarrassed to speak.
"Mom, don't cry...Mom..."
When Liang Moge saw her crying, he immediately panicked and wiped the tears on her face with a tissue.
"My child, she is not a serious girl! She once... once seduced your father!" Liang Wenhui gathered up the courage to speak out and tears fell down...
Liang Moge stopped wiping her tears and looked at her in disbelief for a full minute. Liang Wenhui was already crying. He kept shaking his head, "Impossible... This is absolutely impossible!"
"Mom, I know you don't like her, but you can't say such things... You are also insulting Dad..."
"Son... do you think mom is crazy? It's useless for me to say that my own husband is unfaithful, but how can I watch the woman who seduced my husband come back to seduce my son again!!" Liang Wenhui cried.
He grabbed Liang Moge's clothes and said, "Mom won't lie to you. I saw her dressed like a young lady sitting next to your father... I even kept the photo in my safe back then. If you
If you don’t believe it, you can go and see it!”
"Back then, I tried my best to make her leave you and not let you know, just because I didn't want you to know such unbearable things. Mom just wants you to be happy, marry a good woman, and live a good life... Mom, doing this is all
It’s for you!”
"No!!" Liang Moge growled, grabbing his hair with both hands, and said painfully: "I don't believe it! This is not true... She is not that kind of person... She is not!!"
"If you don't believe it, you can go home and see. The password to the safe is your birthday." Liang Wenhui cried and said, "Go and see her true mask with your own eyes to see if mom is lying to you..."
Liang Moge stood up immediately, turned around and stumbled out of the hospital, driving all the way back. His mind was confused and blank, and he refused to believe that what his mother said was true.
She is lying to herself, she must be lying to herself, so that she can give up on Lin Jiu!!
As soon as Liang Moge's car stopped, he immediately ran out. He didn't even have time to pull out the car keys. When he entered, the servant ignored him and rushed into Liang Wenhui and Yang Guoyao's bedroom. He found Liang Wenhui's safe in the closet.
He squatted down and pressed his fingers on the buttons. Each additional movement consumed a bit of his strength, until the last number fell, and with a "beep" sound, the door of the safe opened...
Liang Moge's fingers tremblingly landed on the cold metal, and he numbly and slowly opened the safe. He saw several jewelry boxes inside, and an earthy yellow file bag at the bottom.
He pulled out the document bag with trembling fingers, and when he took it out, it felt like he was holding a big stone in his hand. It was so heavy that he almost had no strength to hold it and dropped it on the ground...
At this moment, he suddenly lost the courage to open it and pursue the truth——
If my mother didn't lie to me, if everything was true, what should I do, how should I face my past feelings, and how should I face her?
Facing dad, facing mom...
In an instant, everything fell into place in a complicated manner...
He was holding the document bag and didn't have the courage to open it!! Jiu Camera Lin.
Strong fingers pinched the corners of the document bag tightly, wrinkled like his heart...
His mind has been confused. Why is a relationship that has caused him pain for so many years, a woman who almost killed him, related to his father...
Lin Jiu's innocent and clean smiling face flashed through his mind, as if giving him courage and strength. Maybe his mother recognized the wrong person. The person in the photo was not Xiao Jiu at all, but someone else...
Liang Moge seemed to have found the courage to open it. He looked like a hungry wolf pounced on food without any image. He tore open the document bag with trembling anxious hands. He used too much force and the entire document bag tore open, and all the photos fell to the ground...
…
His body trembled, and his legs that were originally squatting suddenly jerked. Without any warning, he knelt on the ground, staring intently at the photos on the floor. The light was dim, and the quality of the photos taken secretly was not very good;
The young girl in it is wearing heavy makeup, and the man next to her is her father...
"Haha...hehe...haha..." Liang Moge grabbed the photo with both hands, his eyes turned red, and he laughed desolately and self-deprecatingly. His smile was full of holes, full of desolation and the filth of the truth, and was unbearable. "Haha...
…Ha ha……"
No matter how bad the photo was, even if the person in the photo was wearing heavy make-up, he would not fail to recognize it; that young, lady-like girl was his always precious and beloved--Lin Jiu.
My heart was crushed by something in an instant, and every cell in my body was screaming in pain, anger, and torment; I held these photos tightly with both hands, clenched them into fists, and smashed them on the ground, one after another, without any trace.
There was no hesitation, no pain, and there was no way to stop even though my hands were bleeding and bleeding.
Compared to the pain in my heart, what is this pain?
"Why did you lie to me? Lin Jiu, how many things do you have to hide from me?"
Liang Moge couldn't suppress it and roared hysterically...
The next second, he grabbed those photos and put them in the torn bag, stood up and staggered out...
When he went downstairs, the servant saw his hand bleeding and the blood dropped drop by drop on the floor. He immediately screamed: "Master, your hand is injured..."
When Liang Moge stepped forward to help him, he didn't even stop. He just glanced at her coldly, pursed his lips and said coldly: "Get out!"
The servant was so frightened by his appearance that he stood there, not daring to move...
He walked quickly to the car, opened the door and threw the things in the passenger seat. He didn't even buckle the seat belt, started the engine directly, and drove away with a car full of cold moonlight...
He wanted to ask her why she lied to him, and he wanted to ask her how many disgusting and shameful things she had done behind her back...
He wanted to ask her how on earth she had the nerve to marry Ling Jiuyue and act like a victim!!
…
The doorbell rang wildly, breaking the tranquility of the night; Lin Jiu, who was sitting on the sofa, was mired in his own thoughts and never came back; and Ling Jiuyue, who was in the study, never came out.
When the doorbell stopped, there was another fierce knock on the door, and an angry roar: "Lin Jiu, open the door for me! I know you are inside, open the door for me..."
"Lin, open the door!!"
Lin Jiu was stunned. When he came to his senses, he looked at the noisy door in the darkness. He heard Liang Moge's voice in his ears. He subconsciously grabbed the corner of his clothes; he didn't dare to open the door and didn't know how to face him.
He never knew that his departure would bring him so much pain, and he almost lost his life...
How could I have the face to see him at this moment...
