When Xiao Tian found me, I had already gone through the period of crying like an idiot while squatting in front of the hotel. However, although the tears had been wiped dry, my eyelids were still terribly swollen. He was a little surprised to see me, but he didn't ask any more questions.
Instead, he asked me to get in the car and said he would take me back to Mr. Li's home.
I sat in the car, and all I could think about was how Zhuo Jing was sitting on the ground, a little decadent. I admit that I was overwhelmed by his words. If I had heard these words through someone else,
, I don’t think I would have such a big reaction. It seems that the two of us have forced each other to be armed. We only know each other when we meet. No one is willing to lower his head. Everyone sees that the other is ruthless and cold.
On the other hand, when looking back, everyone thought it was the other person who was hurting them.
If I had not turned around and taken the elevator back, Zhuo Jing would still be the paranoid, irritable and willful person in my heart, but I never thought that I was the one who forced him to be like that, and that I was the culprit.
Yes!
I was speechless all the way. I thought that Xiao Tian would send me directly to Mr. Li to complete the task. Who knew that when he was approaching Mr. Li’s house, Xiao Tian actually asked the driver to stop the car, and then walked out from the passenger seat and opened my car.
Car door: "Jiaolong, can I have a few words with you?"
I raised my eyes and looked at him, then nodded. After getting off the car, I stood on the road with him. The angle halfway up the mountain was very good, and I could intuitively see the bustling streets of Hong Kong Buildings when the sun was about to set.
"Are you crying?"
This is his first sentence.
I didn't respond and looked at the scenery in the distance: "What do you want to say."
To be honest, I was really confused and felt very scared. I didn’t know why I was scared. I seemed to be able to predict what I was going to do, but my reason kept reminding me not to do that.
"You cried, didn't you?"
I turned to look at him: "So what."
Xiao Tian suddenly sighed and put his hands into his trouser pockets: "Actually, Mr. Zhuo asked me to come out to find you. He was worried about you coming back alone."
I lowered my eyes and didn't respond.
"Actually, I know that you two like each other, Jiaolong. I just don't understand why you don't cherish Mr. Zhuo, such an outstanding man. You will definitely regret it in the future."
I pursed my lips. I have always regretted it. I regretted why I got to know him in the first place and why I was so impulsive to be with him. In this way, step by step, I pushed myself into a situation of no return.
"Actually, I didn't know Mr. Zhuo before. I thought people like Mr. Zhuo were born with silver spoons in their mouths. It's difficult to deal with. It's normal to have a moody personality. So, when I first knew that you had a relationship and broke up,
I think this is normal. How should I put it? You are a very down-to-earth person. I can’t even imagine what you two would be like when you are together. Generally speaking, it is inappropriate. We are often said,
When two people are together, they must be a perfect match in all aspects. Mr. Zhuo will definitely need a good wife who can help his career in the future. I am not saying that you are not good, but that no matter who of you two has a better working life than the other
It’s very difficult to get involved, that is to say, you are people from completely different fields. To be honest, I didn’t think it was a bad thing for you to break up at first. Love requires sacrifice, since neither party wants to sacrifice anything.
, then it’s normal not to be together, do you think so?”
I didn't respond, just looked at the scenery in the distance. Zhuo Jing said that I didn't want to give up anything. I knew he meant it very tactfully. He couldn't let Xiao Tian know that I was intersex. Zhuo Jing must have thought that I didn't want to do it.
The surgery was selfish. He loves me, but he just can't accept that I am intersex. This is the biggest distance and barrier between us.
Seeing that I didn't respond, Xiao Tian continued to speak: "I remember you were in a magazine last year, and you were the one on the cover. That day, Mr. Zhuo was very excited and angry. I heard him in the office
The purpose of the call was just to prevent the circulation of the magazine with your report. I didn’t understand it at first, because I thought you were a great onmyoji. You need a platform to let the public know you, and by the way, you.
The news on the Internet is all done by Mr. Zhuo who spends money to make people do it, but I can’t ask about it even though I’m thinking about it, because he never needs explanation when doing things, not to mention that as a subordinate, I don’t have the qualifications or courage to ask.
I just thought to myself, maybe Mr. Zhuo has been hurt by you, so he hates you and doesn't want to see you well, but the night your magazine came out..."
"Mr. Zhuo drank a lot of wine alone in the office. When I went in to persuade him, he was already drunk. After that, he said to me that public opinion is the most harmful thing to a person. He doesn't want you to be hurt in any way. I
Only then did I realize that his appearance was actually so powerful that we outsiders thought he was just a cold-blooded animal. He did not need comfort or sympathy. But from that day on, I sympathized with him because he was not in my heart.
Then there is the heir to the Zhuo family who is so high above others that he cannot be touched. He is also an ordinary person, a man with all kinds of emotions and desires, who silently loves a woman..."
"Stop talking." I sniffed, feeling that my cheeks were already wet and warm.
"No, I want to say that I have been holding it in for a long time. Mr. Zhuo really drank too much that day. When I sent him home, he actually pointed to your photo in the magazine and said to me, her name is Ma Jiao
Long, it’s his girlfriend. I can only respond. I said your girlfriend is very beautiful. He shook his head and said that the photo looked too much like a man. He said that he had seen you wearing a skirt and having long hair.
Said you were going to get married..."
"Stop talking!!!!" I looked at Xiao Tian with some collapse: "What exactly do you want to express!!!"
"I want to tell you, Mr. Zhuo said that even if you can't be with him, he will not allow you to be with anyone else. He doesn't care about ten or twenty years, as long as he can be in a place where he can see you.
Then he will keep going like this. Even if you hate him and complain about him, it doesn't matter. All he wants is to guard you persistently in his own way!!! Jiaolong, can you tell me why you can't just follow him?
Mr. Zhuo is together. If you don’t love him, then I have nothing to say, but obviously both of them have feelings! I just want you to take a small step forward, Jiaolong, really, I dare to swear
, you will never meet a man who loves you more than Mr. Zhuo."
I covered my mouth, and the facial expression muscles trembled uncontrollably. Choosing a city to grow old and grow old with one person is not my wish. I also want to be together simply. Now Xiao Tian is questioning me like this,
Who should I question?
"Jiaolong, can you give me a response? At least tell me why. Did you know that on the plane yesterday, for more than five hours, Mr. Zhuo was sitting next to you..."
"What?" I looked at Xiao Tian with tears in my eyes: "Zhuo Jing is sitting next to me?"
Xiao Tian nodded helplessly: "Yes, he was afraid that you would be cold, so he specially covered you with a blanket. I couldn't stand how cautious he was. I also went to Mr. Zhuo's home and saw your magazine cover photo.
It was enlarged by him, covering the entire wall in his bedroom... There are some things that you may never know if I don't tell you. With Mr. Zhuo's character, it is even more impossible for him to tell. Jiaolong, why are two people like this? Today
I'm not here to tell you this as Mr. Zhuo's assistant. I hope I'm a friend of the two of you. I really can't stand it anymore. I think nothing is more important than true love. Jiaolong, I didn't know you were
No matter what, but I clearly see what Mr. Zhuo is like, can you be nicer to Mr. Zhuo? I beg you."
I took a long breath, wiped the tears from my face, and replied in a hoarse voice: "How do you think I should treat him well?"
"Just, together..."
Maybe because I cried too much, my head hurt. I raised my eyes and looked at Xiao Tian: "You know, if I get together with him, I won't be able to be an Onmyoji."
"Just for this?!" Xiao Tian became anxious and looked at me: "Jiaolong, are you so selfish? What if you don't become an onmyoji? There are many onmyojis at home and abroad, but the man who loves you,
But there’s only that one!”
These words sound so familiar...
I turned around and got in the car: "Take me back."
"Jiaolong!!!"
Xiao Tian rushed over: "Your reason makes me very disappointed!"
I didn't answer. I was very disappointed with myself. I had been disappointed since I was born.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Xiao Tian looked back at me: "I'm just going to ask you the last question. Just answer me clearly. Do you still love Mr. Zhuo?"
I suddenly felt so cowardly that I didn't dare to admit it, so I sat there stiffly, without any response. I just listened to Xiao Tian sighing again: "If you really love someone, why would you be willing to watch him suffer!"
The car drove into the yard of Mr. Li's house. Sister Gui was still waiting there. After Xiao Tian got off the car, he said a few words to Sister Gui and then looked at me: "Jiaolong, some things are not as important as you think. People
Only in this life, being with the one you love and being happy is the most important thing!"
I didn't want to say anything. Maybe I annoyed him a little, so Xiao Tian got into the car angrily, turned around and left.
As soon as he left, Sister Gui hurriedly came to my side: "Jiaolong, I really didn't expect that you are Mr. Zhuo's niece, and our boss and Mr. Zhuo are old friends." She was a little confused as she spoke.
He frowned: "Have you cried?"
Before I could answer, Zong Bao ran out of the house and looked at me with a little anxiety in his eyes: "You are finally back. You haven't brought your phone with you yet. Those two gentlemen thought you just left like that. Why?"
Your eyes are so swollen, are you crying?"
I waved my hand and glanced at Sister Gui and Zong Bao: "Let me be quiet first."
Turning around, I adjusted my mood slightly. To be honest, Xiao Tian must have thought that his words were in vain, because I didn't give him any reaction, and he was even angry with me, thinking that I
Selfishness or something, but in fact he didn't say it in vain, he completely messed me up. One thing he said was right, he always thought Zhuo Jing was a cold and heartless person, and I thought so too, but today,
Whether it was what I saw with my own eyes, what I heard with my own ears, or Xiao Tian’s words, they all made me realize a Zhuo Jing that I had never seen before, especially the way he sat on the ground. I can’t describe this distressing feeling.
Come on, to be honest, I would rather Zhuo Jing be sharp all the time, I would rather be hurt by him, I would rather he just hate me, I really don’t want to see him like this, and I don’t allow him to be like this.
After I almost calmed down, Sister Gui came over and looked at me with some confusion: "Jiaolong, are you and Mr. Zhuo really just relatives? I feel like you and him are..."
I raised my hand to interrupt Sister Gui, looked at her and smiled softly: "Sister Gui, can we not talk about this now? I want to see Mr. Li."
"Mr. Li went out just now. He has a very important banquet to attend in the evening. He will be back after about ten o'clock."
"out?!"
I frowned: "Sister Gui, I don't know whether Mr. Li thinks this is important or not. To be honest, I think all the ghosts in Hong Kong have come to this house. Isn't Mr. Li afraid?!
"
Sister Gui looked at me seriously: "Mr. Li had already met with the two gentlemen before leaving home. Our boss is also very anxious to deal with this matter. Now in this house except Mr. Li himself, his
The family has moved out, but he can't make it too obvious, because there are many paparazzi. If the news about this house spreads, it will be detrimental to Mr. Li no matter what aspect he comes from. On this point, I hope you
That’s understandable.”
I understand when I say this. In other words, Li Maocheng has to act like nothing is wrong outside. I asked why the three of us are not allowed to go downstairs or something. This is for fear of being photographed. Think about it, if this matter gets spread.
Now, even if this house is lost, even if it is solved, the haunted house will just wait to depreciate in value. As a businessman, you always have to put your interests first.
"Jiaolong, it's like this. Mr. Li told me before leaving. If you find this matter difficult, or like other Onmyoji, it's a bit tricky to handle. We will still pay the remuneration we should pay. Mr. Li
Said, I don’t want Miss Lin to be under too much pressure, you are Mr. Zhuo’s niece and also his niece.”
Oops, this is the benefit of going through the back door. What people say is very clear. You just pay it regardless of whether you see the money or not. But this matter itself has something to do with Mr. Nan. I think I have to understand it. Now
I even got into the favor of my uncle and Zhuo Jing, and I felt that I had to get it done, and fast. I didn’t want anyone to think that I, Ma Jiaolong, was just a freeloader relying on connections.
"Sister Gui, I understand what you mean. Don't worry about this. I will definitely do my best. Can my assistant and I walk around the yard first to check out the terrain?"
Sister Gui looked at me and nodded: "Okay, then you can take a walk first. If you find it difficult, you must inform me. You don't have to go upstairs tonight."
I nodded politely and smiled at Sister Gui. I turned around and saw Sister Gui picking up the walkie-talkie in her hand and saying something. She was probably informing the security here that I wanted to wander around. The yard was too big and it was quite troublesome.
When Zong Bao saw Sister Gui leaving, he looked at me and whispered: "What is going on? How could Zhuo Jing take her away?"
I exhaled softly and raised my eyes to look at him: "Zong Bao, tell me, is Onmyoji really not inferior to me?"
"Ah?" Zong Bao was stunned by what I said: "What do you mean?"
"It's not interesting. After this job, I want to close the mountain."
"What!!" Zong Bao was shocked, causing the security guard at the door to look over directly. He grabbed my arm and said, "You have just started to gain momentum, and finally you have some clues. Are you going to stop now!?"
I didn't look at him, I just observed the terrain of the mansion, and said lightly: "I want to be with Zhuo Jing, it's that simple."
Zong Bao's hand relaxed: "But didn't you say that it would be very troublesome for you to be with him? He knows what you are like? Is he willing to accept it and break your bad luck? If you are like this in the future,
I can no longer be an Onmyoji. Isn’t this your dream? That Master Huang and the one named Qi, they were just upstairs saying that your kind of Yin and Yang balance is rare in a century. Do you really think about it?
Are you ready? Can you please make it clear?"
I stopped and turned to look at Zong Bao, who was irritated by my incoherent words: "He doesn't know anything, but I know that he loves me, and I love him very much... I am willing to give up everything for him.
