"Chengcheng, are you asleep?"
After Xiao Cheng left, Fu Hui came to the door of the room and knocked on the door. After hearing nothing inside, she left again.
Su Cheng was lying in her arms, not that she didn't want to respond, but for the time being she didn't want to hear the facts she had already understood.
She couldn't sleep all night. Since Su Cheng had this child, she has always been awake in sleep.
In the morning, Fu Hui was preparing breakfast. Su Cheng walked into the kitchen with bloodshot eyes, and Fu Hui watched her daughter feel a little pain.
"Chengcheng, you can sleep more at home, just go to the hospital with your father."
Su Cheng shook his head: "I don't worry if I don't go to see Xingbao."
Knowing to persuade her not to move, Fu Hui said: "Then you will go later."
For fear that she would be worried, Su Cheng nodded.
The phone rang, she picked it up, it was Xiao Cheng.
Even though he would visit Xingbao in the hospital every day, he would still call her to ask about her physical condition when he was away. Even the little nurses in the hospital said that it is rare to see such a handsome and considerate boyfriend.
Boyfriend...
This word is really unfamiliar to her.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Cheng glanced down at the survey data on the table, and Xingbao's father stopped him. The three words "Qin Lizheng" really stung his eyes.
Upset for a while, he put the things away and put them in the bookshelf.
After thinking about it, he picked up his cell phone and dialed another call.
"Brother, it's me."
He sank himself into the back of the leather chair, and flicked the table with his fingers unconsciously.
"Um... Nothing. I suddenly remembered that you still owe me a meal... Why? Ha ha... Did you forget? Last time you were drunk, who sent you home... Remember? That's fine. , I'll decide the place at noon, you don't want to feel bad about it!"
When he hung up the phone, he narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly, and his fingers passed through the hair, his eyes darkened.
On the other end, Qin Lizheng also slowly put down the phone.
Next to him, Chen Tao held back for a long time, and finally couldn't help but said: "Boss, if you don't want to go, just refuse it."
Only Chen Tao knows the whole story and what it means to Qin Lizheng to meet Xiao Cheng.
"Why refuse?" Qin Lizheng looked out the window and said calmly: "There are things that should come sooner or later."
What else Chen Tao wanted to say, he gave up in the end.
At noon, when he arrived at the dating site, Qin Lizheng saw Xiao Cheng sitting in the most conspicuous position from a distance, and smiled and waved at him.
Looking around, he said: "You really will pick a place. This is the most expensive private kitchen in the city."
"Haha... Brother, don't you really feel bad, do you?"
"What do you say?"
Qin Lizheng took the seat, and the waiter served the dishes one after another. With just a glance, Qin Lizheng knew that these dishes were all signatures here, and of course, the prices were not cheap.
"Oh, is this sincerely trying to kill me?"
Xiao Cheng laughed: "Brother, who doesn't know that you and Da Yue have made a lot of money during this period of time. You can't be so stingy for a mere meal!"
Qin Lizheng gave him a blank look and said nothing.
After taking a sip of red wine, Xiao Cheng looked at him with a smile, "Brother, don't you ask me anything?"
Qin Lizheng raised his head unhurriedly, "Should I ask something?"
"For example... Me and Cheng Cheng?"
He deliberately called Su Cheng in such an intimate tone to test Qin Lizheng's reaction.
However, Qin Lizheng still has no waves on his face, and even his eyes have not changed.
"how?"
Xiao Cheng looked at him and smiled: "There are some things that I don't believe you don't know, or you should say, as long as it is her business, there is nothing you don't know."
Qin Lizheng put down his chopsticks at this time, his eyes were dull and tasteless, "Xiao Cheng, you hate me."
Not a question, but an affirmation.
Xiao Cheng stagnated, and then smiled and shook his head: "Why did it happen to me again? Besides, why do I hate you?"
"Because of your mother."
It has been so long since Xiao Meiyu's matter, and this is the first time they have talked about such a sensitive topic.
Sure enough, Xiao Cheng's face changed.
But soon, he calmed down again, "Brother, it's been so long, so stop mentioning it."
"No," Qin Lizheng stared straight at him, "I want to talk."
Xiao Cheng frowned and said nothing.
"No matter how you hate me, I will bear it. In fact, I do owe you a'sorry'. But I know that no amount of words I can offset the harm to you. But if you give me another chance, I will also Will make the same choice."
Xiao Cheng squinted his eyes but smiled at the corners of his mouth, and gently tucked his cup with his fingers.
"I will not tolerate anyone hurting Qin's family. When she does that, she should be prepared for punishment. But the ending is beyond my control. I insist on paying for this kind of accident. OK, I can. It’s just that, Xiao Cheng, you’re grown up and you are no longer a child. Even if you want to retaliate against me, you should pay attention to what you should do and what you should not do."
Qin Lizheng's eyes darkened, and he said word by word: "I won't let you use her as a weapon."
Xiao Cheng smiled, "Are you finished? Should I say a few words?"
He took a sip of the red wine and slowly said: "You are right, I do hate you... If it is you, I think you will do the same. After all, that person is my mother, who is cowering in the Qin family. A side room for more than 20 years! As a son, I didn’t get anything for her. It was my incompetence and I couldn’t blame anyone. Even if she made a big mistake, you were the one who sent her to jail, isn’t it? , Shouldn't I even have the right to hate you?"
Qin Lizheng sat opposite, looking at him calmly.
His tone became sharper: "From childhood to adulthood, no matter what others say, I don't care! Because I respect you, in my eyes, you are amazing, so no matter how malicious they compare, I am still very lucky to have you. Such a big brother! How about you? Do you care about me? Do you know that my mother is my only relative?! You have grandma and so many relatives hurt, and even dad hates you in his mouth. Only agree with you! What do I have? You have so many, are you still not satisfied? You want to take my mother away from me?"
Qin Lizheng pursed his lower lip and remained silent.
He knew that these words had been held in his heart for too long.
"The reason why my mother did that was all for me. She told me more than once that she didn't want me to live the same life as her... "Mrs.", it's just the top mistress..."
Xiao Cheng smiled, a little sad: "It is ridiculous that I can choose to exile myself in an irresponsible way to get relief, but I have never really cared about her... Until she left, I didn't realize that from time to time. The person who would be nagging in my ear is gone, and that'home' has become meaningless."
Xiao Cheng squeezed his fists, and he could see that he was so depressed that he was about to collapse.
However, after taking a few deep breaths, he calmed down again.
He raised his head and smiled: "You said, I used Su Cheng to retaliate against you? Yes, I thought about it this way, but then I gave up... I found that when I was with her, my heart was very calm and I felt very comfortable. I Willing to give up the original life for her, willing to remove all pretense, and willing to run a real'home' with her."
Looking at the man opposite, his smile became brighter, "Brother, don't you think so?"
Qin Lizheng didn't speak, he might be able to see that his face was covered with frost.
"Haha... Rather than hate you, I want to walk calmly with that woman. So, she made me give up all my hatred and stop wasting time to hate someone like a fool. It's really not worth it. "
Qin Lizheng said: "You are true to her...?"
Xiao Cheng exaggeratedly raised his hand: "I swear, I have never lived this way in my life!"
Qin Lizheng narrowed his eyes, "The thing about Xingbao is also true?"
"You mean..." Xiao Cheng paused and nodded slowly: "Well. To be honest, when Ji Chenxi first found me, I also found it incredible. I didn't believe that God would be so good to me, so I gave it to me all at once. A woman too good to be better, and a lovely son..."
Qin Lizheng listened silently, his hands under the table squeezed his fists fiercely, as if he was about to crush the bones.
Once, all of this belonged to him.
Home, wife, children.
"Brother..." Xiao Cheng looked at him with sincere eyes, just like the one who admired his eldest brother before.
"I wanted to say these things to you a long time ago, but I don't know how to speak. You mentioned them today, and it happens that our brothers can also explain them. I know you still have... feelings for Cheng Cheng, you can rest assured, I don't It will stop, but I will ask for a fair playing opportunity! And... Xingbao does need me now."
Xiao Cheng was embarrassed at this time, and said in a little embarrassment, "One more thing... Su Cheng is pregnant, my baby."
Qin Lizheng suddenly raised his eyes, and his voice couldn't be more calm: "I already understand. From now on, I will not interfere in your life. No matter which woman you are with, it is your business."
He got up and called the waiter to check out, "I'll have something to do later, let's go first, you eat slowly."
Xiao Cheng also stood up, "Brother, I know that I shouldn't say this... Cheng Cheng just wants to save Xingbao, so don't blame her."
Qin Lizheng took out a black card from the wallet and handed it over. Upon closer inspection, it was not difficult to find that his hand was trembling slightly.
"I don't have anything to do with her anymore. The reason for asking you about this is because of my previous love. After all... I don't want the woman who has been with me to suffer, even if it is you."
Xiao Cheng nodded: "Well, I understand."
After checking out, he turned around: "Let's go."
"Call us when you are free!"
Watching his back disappear, Xiao Cheng slowly sat down and picked up the red wine leisurely, his eyes arrogant and unconcealable.
Xiao Cheng told himself that he wanted this man to taste the loss of his love, so he was right.
However, he had a sentence just now that was true—
He was not a joke to Su Cheng.
