I looked up blankly, with tears still hanging on my face. Xu Ziyang's question just now seemed... filled with endless troubles and doubts.
When he saw that I was silent, he asked again: "Qianqian, why did you say you would never see me again in this life? Why can't I understand what other ways to overcome the disease? Did something happen in the past few days when I was away? You
Tell me quickly!" After asking, he was slightly anxious, his eyes full of anxiety.
My mind couldn't turn around for a moment. Xu Ziyang's questions and expression were all revealing some kind of message, but I was so confused that I didn't have any thinking ability to analyze, so I could only look at him blankly.
He was wiping my tears again, sighing and saying: "When I woke up and saw you crying like this, it made me feel so sad. Was it Zijie who came to find you? I asked him to wait until things are stable before talking to you again."
I mean, this kid..."
"When you wake up?" I finally grasped the point, grabbed his hand and asked urgently: "Aren't you unconscious?"
He was stunned, "Who told you that I was in a coma?"
Uh, is it... Zijie? What he was talking about was that three days before the wedding, Xu Ziyang suddenly fainted next to Tong Xiaohan. Later, he said that a tumor was found in his lungs, so I intuitively concluded that he fell into a long-term coma.
."Then your illness..."
He frowned, "What did Zijie tell you?"
I told me exactly what Zijie had told me before. After listening to it, he couldn't bear it and shouted loudly: "Xu Zijie, come in!" I had some reaction, how could he have such an attitude?
There was a soft sound from behind, and the door was pushed open. When I looked back, it was really Zijie. But at this time, there was no pain on his face. Instead, he hid his smile and his eyes drifted over me.
Falling at Xu Ziyang's place, he asked lightly: "What do you want from me?"
Someone gritted his teeth: "Is this how you cursed me? Lung cancer, liver damage? Huh?"
Zijie flicked the dust on the corners of his clothes with his fingers, "Isn't that what you told the Tong family."
"That's the Tong family! I asked you to hide it from Qian Qian first, and wait until the situation is stable before telling her. But you couldn't control your mouth, so you went and talked nonsense, making her think I was about to die."
As I listened, I became more and more confused. What were they talking about?
Zijie put away the carelessness and smile on his face and said seriously: "Ziyang, do you know that Ruoruo has not left the house for a whole week? While we were arranging the plan, she knew nothing. She
Mom said that for so many days, apart from taking care of Yiyi, she only did one thing every day: puzzle. The picture was more than two meters wide, and she completed it piece by piece. You said you would wait until things stabilized before telling you.
She, but I'm afraid she will collapse before then."
Xu Ziyang turned to look at me, pain and pity appeared on his face, "Qianqian, you..."
No matter how ignorant and stupid people are, they can still smell something is wrong, but before they explain clearly, I can't guess what they mean. What is the arrangement plan they mentioned? Also, Zijie actually had an affair with my mother.
Are they in contact and aware of my movements? Does this mean that I am always within their sight?
"Zi Yang, no matter whether it is stable or unstable, the overall situation will not change. Even if the Tong family finds out the clues later, it will not happen again. Tell Ruoruo, don't make her worried and restless." After Zijie finished speaking, he quit.
He walked out of the door, and when he heard the footsteps, he must have really walked away. It turned out that he had been guarding the door just now.
I fixed my gaze and asked Xu Ziyang: "What's going on?"
He asked me to shake the bed up and lean against the headboard, then he took my hand and slowly told me some of the plans hidden behind him.
It turned out that the wedding a few days ago was not canceled because of his fainting. Instead, the groom was temporarily changed. The groom's name was Qin Chen, who is also my senior brother. This was a wedding planned by Xu Ziyang, Tong Xiaohan and others early in the morning.
play.
Matching is always an iron rule in official circles. Qin Chen's family background is incomparable with Tong Xiaohan's. Even if he works under Xu Ziyang and is capable and responsible, and can be described as a rising star, it is difficult for him to win the eyes of the Tong family. But Tong Xiaohan fell in love with him.
For this reason, she used her previous agreement with Xu Ziyang to seek help from him.
At that time, I happened to be secretly under house arrest by Su Mu Nian, so the two hit it off and reached an agreement, so the plan was formed more than half a year ago. Xu Ziyang is a good political businessman. Without my daughter and me to worry about, he and Tong Xiaohan joined forces to help each other.
Push political opponents from power step by step.
On the other hand, a plan has been made for Tong Xiaohan. On the surface, he pretends that the two have a close relationship, and secretly promotes Qin Chen to appear in the Tong family's field of vision, so that the child's father will slowly recognize his abilities. When the time is right, Tong Xiaohan will announce her
The true relationship with Qin Chen would not be too difficult for the Tong family to accept.
But this plan failed to calculate that I would come back early. Xu Ziyang couldn't wait for the buffer time anymore and couldn't wait to settle this matter and give me a happy sky. So he changed his strategy temporarily and moved his wedding to Tong Xiaohan as quickly as possible.
On the stage, he suddenly fell ill on the eve of the wedding, catching the parents of the family by surprise.
I wonder which parent still insists on marrying off their daughter after learning that their future son-in-law is terminally ill? But the wedding is just three days away, and posts have been sent out, announcing that canceling the wedding will definitely damage the reputation of the Tong family. At this moment, Tong Xiaohan
He took Qin Chen's arm and came forward to negotiate with his father in person. This was tantamount to another form of forced marriage. Tong Xiaohan was indeed decisive in doing things.
No one knew the content of the negotiation, but the result was as expected. Three days later, the wedding was held as scheduled, but the groom was changed, and the smile on the bride's face was particularly bright. If I hadn't avoided knowing this information, all I had to do was check it online
Suddenly, I knew that the groom in that wedding had changed. But what was I doing at that time? Fighting for my blue sea and blue sky...
After reorganizing the whole thing in my mind, it is basically clear. From this point of view, Xu Ziyang and Su Mu Nian must have reached an agreement long ago. Su Mu Nian was not blackmailing me when he said that he would let me go. It should indeed be
I have this intention. If my guess is correct, Xu Ziyang originally wanted to come to me after everything was over. At that time, the world was already at peace, and he only needed to bring happiness to me. But something happened, and I was alone.
Running back and then experiencing this calamity may really be called fate playing tricks on people.
Wait, there is another crux of the whole thing. I raised a question: "How can the Tong family be deceived so easily? They said it was a tumor in the lungs, and they believed it?" I can imagine that the doctor has long been deceived by Xu Ziyang and
Tong Xiaohan and others have made arrangements, but the Tong family are not fools. Can they be believed if they suddenly lie about being terminally ill without any symptoms?
Xu Ziyang was silent, his eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look at me.
After thinking about it for a while, I realized it and asked in a trembling voice: "Tell me, what disease do you have?"
He hesitated, but finally said it: "Water in the lungs."
"What symptoms are these?" I asked blankly. With my shallow medical knowledge, I didn't quite understand what this was like and whether it was serious or not.
"Qianqian, don't be afraid. It's not too serious. It's just because I drank too much and my liver was damaged. Later, it caused pneumonia. Then it gradually developed into this disease. It's an early stage. It's not a terminal illness. Don't worry."
He reassured me! My eyes turned cold, and I stared at him and asked word for word: "Xu Ziyang, tell me the truth, did you detect the disease early on? And then you delayed it because of your bullshit plan.
After treatment, it finally turned into this situation. Is that so?" He remained silent, which was equivalent to acquiescing to this matter.
Yes, the Tong family is not a fool. If Xu Ziyang is not sick at all and does not have any symptoms, who would believe it? But I don’t dare to think that he actually ruined his body to this point for this plan. Also, so
It seems that his original plan also missed this point, that is, he pretended to be superficially close to Tong Xiaohan at the beginning, and in the end, in order to push Qin Chen to the front, he would definitely use this disease to get rid of the Tong family. He was really planning every step of the way.
All possibilities and subsequent moves have been conceived, and all are plotted against me, which is great.
It makes me wonder whether his fainting was an act or did he really collapse?
I was so angry that I was shaking all over. I had to go outside for some air, otherwise I would really slap him hard. But as soon as I stood up, he grabbed my arm from behind and pulled her very tightly, "Qianqian, don't go.
.”
Anger arose in my heart, and I turned around and yelled: "Xu Ziyang, you bastard!" The next moment, I was pulled into his arms, my head hit his chest hard, I heard a muffled groan, and then his hands tightened around me.
In my arms, "I didn't know how desperate I was when you disappeared. I thought you had left me again, but this was better than finding out that you were taken away by the Su family. When negotiating with Su Mu Nian, I endured
With tears in his heart, he said: If you and my daughter were by my side, it would be impossible for me, Xu Ziyang, to do anything. If I want to succeed, I must have no worries. He removed obstacles for me. If I want to win you back, I must
It's walking on the clouds.
Because of his words, I gritted my teeth and swallowed blood, walking on the edge of the cliff, ruthless to the end, vowing to take you back. Joining forces with Tong Xiaohan is an opportunity, I can't not seize it, and she likes it.
I am your senior brother again. Even for your sake, I will do my best to fulfill it. I owed her a permanent commitment before, and I have paid it back this time. This is a win-win opportunity, and I have to take that step.
.But you believe me, I know your own body well, and doctors have been keeping strict control of your condition, so that it doesn’t get to the worst, otherwise I won’t make you promise that I won’t let you down.”
"Are you saying that if the worst comes to worst, you will avoid me?"
Xu Ziyang's expression was as if he had been hit by a punch. After being stunned, he said helplessly: "Qianqian, why do you always misinterpret my meaning? I'm explaining so much to you just to tell you that all the situations are correct.
It's under my control. Originally, I wanted to wait for this matter to be completely stable before coming to see you. I happened to take advantage of this period of time to recuperate in the hospital. When Tong Xiaohan and your senior brother are already settled, it won't happen again. Then this
It’s over now.”
Did I misinterpret it? I asked myself quietly in my heart. I didn't ignore the flash of light in his eyes because of a guilty conscience. He had really thought about the possibility. If the situation was really out of control, then he would do the same thing
He treated me as if he had given up on him and vowed to push me away from him. This is the kind of person he is!
The reason why Zijie notified me to come over without his permission and told a big lie was not only because he was afraid that I would be alone at home with my thoughts, but also because he was afraid that Xu Ziyang would be cruel. He really couldn't stand the two of us.
We have been entangled for nearly half a lifetime, still going around in our own spaces, unable to truly join hands.
If the man in front of me had treated me cruelly or kept hiding things, I would have bitten him like a crazy little beast at this moment, but he chose to hold me in his arms in a low and restrained manner.
He elaborated on his plans, his successes and failures bit by bit. I had no choice but to sigh helplessly.
