I am very lucky to have a friend like Sun Yiqing. What he said tonight touched me very much. Perhaps as he said, the truth of the matter has come to light, giving an explanation to the dead who were once wronged. On the contrary, the living
A relief.
At midnight, my fluctuating mood finally improved, and I edited a text message to Gao Zijian. The content of the text message was only three words.
After waiting for a long time but no reply, I glanced out the window and realized it was time to go to sleep.
I thought that the current situation between Gao Zijian and I was already the worst case scenario, but I never expected that there would be a worse situation.
At ten o'clock the next morning, while I was still counting the receipts in my hand, Gao Zijian called me. His voice was very hoarse and he said, "Xiaojia, I want to see you."
A bad premonition immediately swept over me, and before I had time to tell the team leader, I ran directly to the elevator. When I got out of the elevator and walked to the lobby door, I saw Gao Zijian sitting alone on the stairs.
Go up, looking sad.
I hurriedly walked over and asked Gao Zijian: "What's wrong?"
Gao Zijian looked pale and haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, he opened his mouth, but no words came out. I knelt down, sat down next to him, and asked, "What happened?"
Gao Zijian raised his hand, put the key in his hand in front of me, and said, "Xiaojia, my investment failed."
I just felt my heart suddenly sinking, and I didn't know what to say.
"The materials that the company I went to inspect last time clearly promised to give me were all invalidated, and the software I bought from South Korea was also invalidated. Xiaojia, I really..." Gao Zijian looked at me and said at the end, unexpectedly
Not a single word could come out.
I'm also a little confused. In other words, the debt we are carrying is more?
Looking at Gao Zijian's embarrassed look, I smiled softly and said, "Oh, it's over. It looks like I'll have to eat tea eggs for two more years."
Gao Zijian didn't smile. After the previous failure, there was still a little hope in his eyes, but this time, he seemed to be in despair.
I took his hand and stood up from the stairs, walked step by step towards my residence, bought some food downstairs, and returned home with Gao Zijian.
In fact, I am also a little desperate, but I know that Gao Zijian needs me. His blow is too great, and I am afraid that he cannot bear it.
He is only twenty-four years old. The biggest difference between him and Shi Lei is that Shi Lei has already experienced all the sufferings in the world, while he has just begun.
I've never been so scared before. I'm afraid that if I don't pay attention even a little bit, Gao Zijian will become even more vulnerable.
I comforted him to eat without leaving him a step, coaxed him to sleep, sat by the coffee table, and secretly sent messages to Durian.
I asked Gao Ziran and it was said that the situation in Beijing is not optimistic.
I took a deep breath. I always felt that there was something fishy about the waiter in the game room. I picked up Gao Zijian's cell phone to see if I could see anything strange.
There are nearly fifty unrecorded numbers in the call log, all dialed by Gao Zijian. It seems that he has called many people. However, not many people responded.
Suddenly my phone vibrated, I opened it curiously, and when I saw the name displayed on it, I instantly became uneasy.
Why did Liu Shihan send a text message to Gao Zijian? What was her purpose? Curiosity drove me to stare at the screen, and I took a nervous breath. I pressed down with my finger, opened the text message, and the content immediately flashed in front of me.
——This is the last time I give you a choice, Gao Zijian. Thinking of your uncle and uncle inside, I seriously remind you that you must be careful in your choice.
My heart suddenly tightened, what does this mean? Is what Liu Shihan said true? At this time, only the Liu family is willing to lend a helping hand?
The palm of my hand holding the phone was trembling. I took a sharp breath and flipped up a few lines of text messages. They were all similar text messages. It seems that in this circle, there is Liu Shihan who can help Gao Zijian.
Already?
She used engagement and marriage as conditions, and the current encounters of Uncle Gao and Third Uncle as a weight for blackmail. What did she want? If the glory of the Gao family before could bring satisfaction to Liu Shihan's vanity, then at this moment, she
Is it because of... love?
I was shocked by my own thoughts. It is said that good and evil can happen in a single thought. It turns out that the feelings towards a person can also change in a single thought.
I don't know what choice Gao Zijian will make, but I know that I should do something about it.
So, I sent a text message and asked Liu Shihan’s current location.
Liu Shihan's text message was answered quickly. I took a look at the address written on it, left a note for Gao Zijian, closed the door, and walked out.
The agreed place was in a bar in the first ring. When I opened the door, a warm-toned halo spread in the room. The husky voice accompanied by the guitar accompaniment reached my ears. I glanced around the room and saw someone sitting by the window.
Liu Shihan.
To be honest, I was afraid in my heart.
But for Gao Zijian, I had no choice but to risk my life.
He walked up to her in two steps, put his bag aside, and sat down directly.
"Why is it you?" Liu Shihan looked at me with a surprised look on her face, turned around and scanned the door, suddenly slapped the case and said with a smile: "Are you kidding me?"
The coffee spilled out of the cup. Liu Shihan looked at me angrily and said, "You also sent the text message?"
I didn't say anything, which was my acquiescence.
The music in her ears stopped, and Liu Shihan's face became even more ugly. She coughed lightly, looked at me and said, "That's fine, since you want to know the current situation, there's no need for me to look for you."
Liu Shihan's face changed too quickly, anger and indifference in just a moment. She threw her bag on the table, sat down again, raised her finger, and the music in the room rang again.
She looked at me and said, "How much do you know about the situation?"
Life, at its easiest, is when you have nothing, and now Gao Zijian and I have nothing, so I didn’t have any scruples about talking to Liu Shihan and said directly: "The Liu family, are you really willing to help?"
Liu Shihan laughed out loud, slowly stirring the coffee cup with her thin white fingers, and said: "Chen Xiaojia, are you really stupid, or are you naive? Now that this case has such a huge repercussions, who dares to intervene easily?
"
"I'm sorry, I read the text messages between you and Gao Zijian, and I know you won't stand idly by." The happier Liu Shihan smiled, the more I felt that she would help.
Sure enough, the hand shaking the coffee cup suddenly stopped, raised his eyes and looked at me, and said, "Whether you can help or not depends on your performance."
I felt a chill in my heart and asked, "How should I behave?"
"It's very simple, leave Gao Zijian and let him forget about you." Liu Shihan said without hesitation, "As long as you can do it, I will ask dad to help with his family matters, and I will also ask them to stop with your family matters."
I understand the first sentence, but the second sentence?
"What's going on at home?" I looked at Liu Shihan in confusion, and suddenly my heart sank, and I asked, "What do you mean to my parents?"
Liu Shihan looked at me calmly and said, "What else? Why do you think I'm looking for Gao Zijian? That's how I am. I want what I can't get, and if he doesn't want to be with me, the more I want it.
I'll be tied to him for life! Maybe he won't bow down to what happened with Uncle Gao, so I made things a little more complicated. I believe that his tone will naturally change when it comes to you.
"
I looked at Liu Shihan in panic, not expecting that she would make a fuss about my parents. The more she did, the more scared I became. My hands were shaking a little, so I gently took out my cell phone and prepared to call my parents.
"Do you want to confirm with the elders of the family?" Liu Shihan held her chin with one hand, looked at me with a smile, and said, "Why don't I tell you, when they were traveling in Huangshan, they met a businessman who was setting up a shop in the pedestrian street.
Your mother was very interested in buying a house and encouraged your father to borrow some money to buy it. You also know that your father couldn’t borrow money so he went to the casino, so..."
"Liu Shihan!" I stood up a little excitedly, my chest rising and falling, and asked, "You're going too far!"
"Why did I go too far? Do you know how I was laughed at by my family sisters because of Gao Zijian? The engagement was delayed again and again, and finally I didn't even bother to tell lies in front of my parents. All of this was because of you, otherwise
Because of you, can I become the laughing stock of my family?" Liu Shihan looked at me, sniffed, and said, "Now, I just want to get back what belongs to me..."
"But Gao Zijian doesn't love you..." I expressed the last shred of hope in my heart, but there was no confidence in my voice.
"What is love? Do you think children who grow up in a family like ours will have love? To put it bluntly, they are just using each other. Let me tell you the truth, the current situation of the Gao family does not require me to go
I want to get back the lost face and the lost person, so Chen Xiaojia, now it’s up to you what to do.”
I sat back down again, feeling panicked in my heart. My hands were shaking violently, and my whole body seemed to be drained. I couldn't say a word.
"Don't worry, your parents can solve it immediately tomorrow as long as you nod. As for the Gao family, although it will take some time, it can still be solved." Liu Shihan comforted me in a calm voice.
My hands were still shaking, and I tried to control myself not to pick up the coffee cup and throw it at Liu Shihan.
"Don't you love him? Since you love him, you should help him make a choice before his family is destroyed. You need to be ruthless about things that Gao Zijian cannot bear to do. His family, your family, and their fate are all in your control.
In your hand." Liu Shihan said to me lightly while shaking the spoon in the coffee cup.
I took a sharp breath and said, "I have to go to the bathroom."
Liu Shihan didn't say anything and followed the waiter into the bathroom. I took out my mobile phone and called my parents. I needed to confirm their problem.
When the call was connected, my mother's voice was a little hoarse.
"Xiaojia, call now..."
"Mom, I have something to ask you, and you have to tell me honestly." I sniffed, squatted on the toilet, and almost cried, "Dad, did you lose money again..."
My mother didn't answer me, she just burst into tears on the other end of the phone. While crying, she said: "Xiaojia, my mother was also obsessed for a moment. Now your father has been sued by the other party. Your father asked me to hide this matter from you, Xiaojia."
Jia, what should mom do?"
It seems that what Liu Shihan said is true.
My stomach was churning, and I retched into the toilet. Suddenly, my mind was shocked, and a bad premonition swept through my body. I took a breath, stood up from the bathroom, and thought over and over again.
The changes in me in the past two days have made me feel more and more panicked.
I feel sleepy for no reason and often retching. Counting the time since my last period...could it be...
My eyes suddenly opened wide, I glanced at my belly, and gently touched it with one hand. This premonition became even stronger.
When I returned to my seat, I calmed down a little. I looked at Liu Shihan and said, "I need some time to think about it."
Liu Shihan looked at me, smiled softly, and said: "I can give you time to think about it, but Gao Zijian's ideological work also requires your cooperation. I will not limit you in terms of time, but think about your parents.
And Gao Zijian’s parents, you..."
"I will give you an answer as soon as possible." I interrupted Liu Shihan and tried my best not to spit it out.
"Okay," Liu Shihan looked at me with a smile and said, "Just remember, the longer the delay is, the greater the damage will be to the victim."
I nodded and walked out of the coffee shop.
The first thing to do is to go to a nearby pharmacy and buy a pregnancy test strip.
I was very confident when I went there, but when I got the pregnancy test stick in my hand, I suddenly became at a loss. I touched my belly with my right hand, and the premonition became more and more profound.
I was a little scared and hurriedly took a taxi back. When I got into the taxi, I realized that I couldn't exert any strength in my whole body.
I entered a nearby shopping mall, ordered a cup of milk tea and rested for a while. When my mood calmed down a little, I went directly to the bathroom.
It is said that mother and child are connected. Before using the pregnancy test stick, I already had a strong premonition that I had it. I lowered my head and looked, and the facts told me that I was really going to be a mother.
At this moment, I could no longer control my restrained tears. I touched my belly and cried directly.
Why do you want to have a child at this time? Gao Zijian wants to be a father so much, but now, as a woman, how can I choose?
The Gao family is in danger, and the children's grandparents are also in trouble. What should I do? Leave? Or stay? If; stay, how should I solve these problems?
