Xie Lingxi was a little panicked. This time she would suddenly be caught off guard and someone would expose what happened five years ago. She really didn't even think about it in her dreams, so she had no countermeasures. Of course, she panicked and said what she had just used
When the scissors were thrown aside by the sink, a man's tall voice flashed past the kitchen door, and then he heard a "swipe" of the sliding door, and someone pushed it open.
…………
"...Jing, Jinglian?"
Xie Lingxi subconsciously stood forward to block the trash can behind her. Her hands were shaking a little, so she could only turn her hands away and clasp her fingers tightly in her palms, trying to calm herself down, "...
Why did you come back suddenly? You didn’t even talk to me in advance..."
Before she finished speaking, she already saw the newspaper in Qiao Jinglian's right hand.
Xie Lingxi's heart skipped a beat, and a feeling of darkness came over her face.
She was so frightened that her face turned pale. It took her a moment to react. She hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the newspaper from Qiao Jinglian's hand. Her words were a little awkward, "...this newspaper, Jinglian...listen to me, this is all
It's not true... I really don't know why someone suddenly wrote these things, but believe me, these are not true... Jinglian, you believe me..."
"I need an explanation, let me believe your explanation."
Qiao Jinglian put one hand in the pocket of her trousers, and spread her fingers on the other hand, leaning on the marble countertop. He frowned, and his tone was calm, but extremely low, "You have been with me for so many years, and I always thought,
I know you very well, of course you can be willful sometimes, I think I can tolerate it, I won't say anything more. It's just this time... You should know that what I, Qiao Jinglian, hate the most is deception, understand?
?Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance, I gave you a chance, so I came to you, you can explain now.”
"…………"
Xie Lingxi's heart plummeted, as if she fell into a bottomless abyss in an instant——
Qiao Jinglian would never speak to herself like this. His expression was so sharp...
Will this report that caught her off guard send her to the 18th level of hell, where she will never be able to stand up again?
No...can't...can't...
There was a voice in Xie Lingxi's heart, screaming sharply - No! Absolutely not!
She thanked Lingxi, no matter whether he had really done anything sorry for Qiao Jinglian, but he... was absolutely loyal to her? Wasn't he the same, he used to have fun outside? He even said that he wanted to be Young Master Qiao*
**, but she has been waiting for so many years, and he is still the same, allowing himself to live up to his name and reputation?
…………
She is right, she has never been wrong, why should she feel guilty? She does not need to feel guilty!
"You don't believe me?"
It was probably that thought that prompted her to calm down.
Xie Lingxi straightened her back subconsciously, and her eyes, which were still twinkling at first, became extra magnanimous when facing Qiao Jinglian. Sometimes, when people speak and do things, they just rely on a momentum, and she feels that she
That's right, so the aura returned to him in an instant, "As you said, I have been with you for so many years, and I am indeed unruly and willful sometimes, but don't you know how I treat you?
?Now that you have seen such gossip, you would rather question me than believe me?"
Qiao Jinglian didn't answer. He stared at Xie Lingxi with deep eyes. There was a long silence, and Xie Lingxi's heart was beating loudly as he stared. Finally, he heard his deep voice, which sounded strange.
She was calm and suddenly asked her, "...there is something that I didn't plan to say originally, but now, I want to ask you - Lingling, when Shen Zijin went to City B, something like that happened.
Have you contacted Mr. Zhang since then?"
Xie Lingxi, "…………"
City B, Mr. Zhang?
Isn't that... when Shen Zijin just came back to City C and was on a business trip with Gu Yanshen, she found someone to bribe Mr. Zhang and set her up?
What's going on, Qiao Jinglian...why did he suddenly mention this matter?
…………
Xie Lingxi was flustered. She was like a headless fly now. She had no idea where else she could fly. She found a place to stay and stood still. She panicked and ran around here and there. In the end, her head was bruised and bloody.
, but still refused to admit defeat.
"...Jinglian, what exactly do you want to say? What happened in City B...what Mr. Zhang, how did I know?"
Qiao Jinglian suppressed the desire to sigh, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and held it in the corner of his mouth. He squinted his eyes and said, "Lingling, before, I really felt that you were a person without any scheming.
Woman, you know, what I, Qiao Jinglian, hate most are people who are too calculating. I have told you before, right? I have lived in a family like the Qiao family since I was a child. People outside see me, Qiao Jinglian, as glamorous.
But my family is not happy at all. Ever since I was sensible, my mother has often quarreled with my father. I watched them pretending to be peaceful outside, but using all possible means at home. You probably don’t understand that feeling.
When my old man was young, I couldn’t even count the women who were taken away by my mother through all possible means. So you know? Lingling, I hate this kind of drama. I know how much you have.
I have indeed been working hard to be my wife, Qiao Jinglian, but it is a pity that you are so restless and unable to bear it."
The man's slender fingers casually dusted off the cigarette ashes, "... Regarding the matter in City B, I know that you found someone to bribe Mr. Zhang and set up Shen Zijin, but it was a pity that there was Gu Yanshen beside her at that time.
He helped her and escaped disaster."
"…………"
Xie Lingxi's face, at this moment, was uglier than that of a zombie.
Although she is not a very smart woman, she is not really stupid like a stupid pig either.
If before, she was still thinking about denying what happened in City B, then now...she doesn't even have the courage to deny it. But what she didn't expect was that Qiao Jinglian actually knew all along...
She was flustered and suddenly felt that she couldn't understand the man in front of her.
This man, who has been sleeping next to me for more than five years, thinks that his thoughts are not deep. Is it just that he is too naive?
…………
Xie Lingxi didn't know at this time that a man, when he really has no fear of you, is the simplest and purest in front of you. But when he becomes wary of you,
Everything will be subverted.
"...Since you knew it but never said it, what does it mean to say it now? Are you warning me?"
Xie Lingxi still felt that she was not wrong. What was wrong with her? She had been following this man for so many years and wanted to correct her position. Was this wrong?
What's more, that Shen Zijin, is she better than herself?
In her opinion, Shen Zijin can't even compare to a hair of hers. She was already dirty when she was in the UK. So what if she escaped in city b?
Why should Gu Yanshen help her?
What's more...the two of them are simply plotting against Chen Cang!
"Jinglian, do you know what you look like now? Are you questioning me now because of that woman Shen Zijin? Is it because this newspaper has such headlines and gossip, and you feel quite happy? Finally you can
Have you dumped me? You haven't come to my place these days, why? Do you still have me in your heart?"
His eyes turned red, and what he said next was even more aggrieved. Xie Lingxi actually knew how to strike first when dealing with Qiao Jinglian.
Qiao Jinglian stopped smoking. Xie Lingxi saw that his eyebrows were furrowed, and his tone was no longer as sharp as before, "You should know that that's not what I said at all! Lingling, I said, you want
I will satisfy you with anything, but you shouldn’t try your best to frame others. If I really don’t want you, why did I pay for Mr. Zhang to leave City B in the first place? Do you think that if something like that happened, you wouldn’t wipe your ass?
, will you be safe and sound then?"
"Don't you know that my old man has always liked Shen Zijin? He has been so protective of her all these years. If something happens to her, do you think others will not know about the things you have done?"
"…………"
Xie Lingxi did not expect this, and was immediately speechless after being questioned by Qiao Jinglian.
The expression on her face was a little distorted, her hands at her side were tightly clenched into fists, she bit her lip and made no sound.
Qiao Jinglian pointed to the newspaper in her hand, "So, don't lie to me again. Once, I chose to forgive you and will be considerate of you. Now, please explain to me what is in this newspaper."
"…………"
"Huh? Or if you don't tell me, I can investigate it myself. Don't say I don't believe you. Trust is something that is given to each other. You should know that I have always been very good to you."
"Not bad...do you think you are good to me?"
Xie Lingxi's head buzzed, as if she had grabbed something violently. She raised her head and stared straight at Qiao Jinglian with red eyes, "That's right, just let me follow you like this all the time. You gave me something to eat.
You gave me clothes and things to use, but you couldn't make me honest... Yes, hehe, that's right... You can satisfy me with everything, but you can't give me what I want most. Jinglian, you know someone
What is the most extravagant thing for a woman? Materiality, spirituality? No, there is also status! Yes, I am very vain, but that is because I really love you. Which woman is willing to do this? Obviously, your wife, this identity is mine
, 5 years ago, but suddenly I gave it to another woman... Do you know how I felt at that time? Do you know that my heart was cut like a knife? Yes, I left city C and went to the UK.
!”
She reached out, grabbed the newspaper on the side, threw it at her feet, pointed at the headlines in the newspaper, and said heartbreakingly: "...but why should I go to England? Why should I leave City C? You don't
You know? I don’t want to see you marry another woman, and it’s the kind that makes the whole city a sensation. When I went to England, I drank to relieve my sorrows. After drinking too much, I met a strange man. Isn’t this weird? In a bar,
Nightclubs are originally a platform for one-night stands. I am beautiful, as you have said yourself, so it is not surprising that other men want to seduce me. But in my heart, I still think of you.
I don’t know when this photo was taken, but the only thing I can tell you is that I have not betrayed you, not once! Never! But what about you? In the years you were with me,
Are you clean outside? Qiao Jinglian, you are also very selfish sometimes. You keep saying you love me, but you can't give me the sense of security I want most. Now, you are accused of such an unfounded crime.
, come and question me..."
"...There are some things that I thought I would never say in my life, but now, I want to say - do you know? Five years ago in the UK, I, Xie Lingxi, lost something for you, Qiao Jinglian, do you know?
"
The last few words were almost shouted. Xie Lingxi's whole body was trembling, tears fell fiercely, and his face was filled with deep pain and unwillingness.
"…………"
Qiao Jinglian held the cigarette in her hand and paused briefly. He looked at the woman a few steps away from him, his eyes were red, and tears fell down her cheeks. Her heartbroken look made his heart skip a beat.
Tightened subconsciously.
"What happened in England five years ago?"
He frowned, pinched out the cigarette between his fingers, stepped forward, and threw it into the trash can. He stretched out his hand, grabbed Xie Lingxi's wrist, and asked word for word: "Tell me, five years ago, in England, there were
What is it that I don’t know? Now, tell me.”

※※※※※
Zijin took a bath, but the change of clothes hadn't been brought in yet, so she casually took a pink bathrobe and put it on. This was her own bathrobe that was kept in Gu Yanshen's apartment.
Of course, Gu Yanshen had people prepare these for him.
Whether it's food, clothing, or even use, what he has people prepare is extremely appropriate.
If a man can achieve such a level for himself and say that he is not moved at all, that would definitely be a lie. The human heart is made of flesh and blood and has feelings after all, and it is not a true cold-blooded animal...
However, I was moved, but couldn't move my heart.
——It's like a tug-of-war, both sides have equal strength, but she doesn't dare to let any side take advantage of the opportunity.
But it’s really tiring to use so much effort to maintain such a balance every day.
Taking a dry towel and wiping her wet hair, she stood in front of the mirror and looked at her neck under the v-neck, the red marks one after another, ambiguous yet clear.
His face turned slightly red, Zijin reached out and raised the collar of his bathrobe. After thinking about it, he still felt that something was wrong. A doctor might be coming soon, so he ran to the cloakroom and got a set of clothes. As soon as he changed, he heard
Someone is ringing the doorbell outside.
Zijin thought that the doctor must be here, and quickly ran to open the door.
When she saw the woman standing at the door, she turned out to be a doctor. She still knew her—Dr. Xiao.
Both of them were stunned, standing inside and outside the door. Although Zijin's clothes had been changed, his hair was still wet. He had just taken a bath, and his body still exuded a fresh fragrance after bathing.
A woman, after taking a shower and changing her clothes, but her hair is still wet, is in a man's apartment. What does this mean?
Even a fool can figure it out, but their relationship is clearly that of an eldest brother and his sister-in-law...
Zijin's heart skipped a beat. She didn't know if it was her misunderstanding. She felt that Dr. Xiao's eyes looked at her with a bit of unkindness and even some disdain.
She had met her once before, in her office, and Gu Yanshen took her there. At that time, she had told herself something vaguely. Zijin still remembered it, but she really didn't expect it.
, so quickly, I actually met her again.
Zijin felt a little guilty, but it was Dr. Xiao who spoke first, and smiled decently at her, "Ms. Qiao, I didn't expect to see each other again. Let's go inside, right?"
"...Hello, Dr. Xiao."
Zijin reacted and quickly turned aside. The woman walked in. She then closed the door of the apartment. Seeing that she found the living room with ease, she put the medicine box in her hand on the coffee table and sat down.
Zijin thought, since she was a guest coming in, he should give her a glass of water.
"Doctor Xiao, what do you want to drink? I'll get you a glass of water..."
"No."
Dr. Xiao raised his head, interrupted Zijin's words, and chuckled. The disdain and contempt in his eyes seemed to be unconcealed and sharp, making Zijin somewhat untenable.
"This doesn't seem to be your Mr. Qiao's home. You don't need to act like the master. I'll check your body for you. If there are no problems, I have to go back. There is an operation in the afternoon and time is tight."
The sentence - not your home, and the name - Mr. Qiao, were equivalent to being slapped twice on the left and right cheeks at the same time, which made Zijin's whole face numb in pain.
What she didn't know was that she, Shen Zijin, was like an ostrich. She was about to stick her head out just because of that man's words. But at this moment, because of Dr. Xiao's words, she was completely turned back.
.
Red lips pursed tightly, how could Zijin still have the courage to sit down and ask her to give him a diagnosis?
She subconsciously pinched the corners of her clothes, her palms filled with sweat from being spurred by morality and shame. She shook her head, her voice dry, "...I'm fine, I'm in good health, Dr. Xiao, today may be
Gu Yan... maybe Brother Gu misunderstood something, please make an extra trip, I'm really fine."
There was a sourness in her heart. She felt uncomfortable and couldn't understand it.
Why?
Gu Yanshen, what on earth is he thinking? Is this a level he has prepared for himself? As he said, don't be afraid, even if the sky falls, he will hold on, but when he turned around, this Doctor Xiao appeared again
In front of him, did he feel that only in this way could he spur her determination?
No, he thought wrong. His behavior of giving her a sweet date and then letting others come to humiliate her made her disgusted!
"Really?" Dr. Xiao raised his eyes and looked at the reserved Zijin, then nodded, "Mrs. Qiao, maybe you don't like to hear what I say, but I think there are some words that I, as a doctor,
I should also explain to you - I have seen your cases in other hospitals, and I know that you have a relatively sensitive reaction to those emergency contraceptive pills. Of course, this is not surprising, because some women's physiques are indeed
It is not suitable to take drugs with too many side effects. Therefore, you should take less in the future."
"…………"
Zi Jin pinched the corner of his clothes even harder.
It was as if her heart had been pinched mercilessly by a pair of cold hands for a moment. She couldn't breathe, and she still felt pain, a numb pain.
She stood there like a wooden stake, motionless.
Dr. Xiao folded her legs and continued: "...Women should really love themselves a little bit. Our lives are neither long nor short. Sometimes we can't look too close.
But you can't let it go too far. If it doesn't belong to you, it can't belong to you after all. Mrs. Qiao, you are also a person of great status, and you are deeply impressed by him... This child is always so kind to others.
, but men and women are always different. Sometimes men can’t help themselves in many things, but afterward, they may not feel that what they did was necessarily right. Can you understand? "
"…………"
I understand, how could I not understand?
When I met Dr. Xiao for the first time, what she said to me at that time should be considered as having a hint in her words.
So this time, her words had a sting in them.
It was still the sharpest thorn, carrying strong poison. It was aimed at her weak spot and stabbed down hard...
She admitted that she was cowardly. She was too aware of what happened between her and Gu Yanshen. She was afraid of dying in public. She was afraid of being cast aside by the world, and she was afraid of being morally condemned. The man said to her, "Gu Yanshen"
Is there power in her heart that can stop everything?
After he left, she kept asking herself, is there any?
But before she could figure it out, someone had already jumped out and told her clearly, so what?
Do you dare? Can you afford it?
Someone will remind you all the time that you can’t want it, and you can’t afford it!
…………
Zijin felt that he could no longer stand here and face this doctor. Because he had really done those shameful things, he could not refute anything with righteous indignation.
Resisting the urge to shed tears, Zijin said in a jerky voice, "I'm sorry, Doctor Xiao, I just remembered that I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
…………
The apartment door slammed shut, and Dr. Xiao, who was sitting on the sofa, sighed softly. She reached out and pressed her aching temple, picked up her mobile phone and made a call.
"...Yes, I'm already here. You don't need to say anything more to Yan Shen. He doesn't know that I'm here today. Well... Also, the cases transferred from the hospital over there are returned. This matter is also
It needs to be kept secret. For now, I know there is an operation in the afternoon and I will go back right away..."
————————
This shouldn’t be considered an excessive chapter, but the opportunity for Brother Shen to exert his strength should be in the next chapter. Sister Zijin has been wronged, woo woo woo, Brother Shen, hurry up! Brother Shen said, if you don’t give me a monthly ticket, I won’t do it.
Thick line, cough, you naughty kids, did you hear that? Monthly votes, monthly votes, hurry up and bribe me, Gu Yanshen’s biological mother!
