Many years later, Zhao Yu had forgotten many things about her, but he remembered clearly that the year she died was in autumn.
That was the second year since he was expelled from the Ji family.
The air in W City has always been cold, and the moment I heard the news of her death, it was chilling to the bone.
The Ji family had not yet completely declined, but its daughter had been trampled into dust.
How pitiful is she
Before he went back, there was no one to collect her body.
She was covered in blood and fell alone on the road.
When Zhao Yu picked her up, he was shocked to find that she was terribly thin, lonely and petite. In his arms, she was like a weightless bone.
Her beautiful face was gone, her lips were like withered and pale petals, and even her body was terribly cold.
He felt empty inside, and belatedly realized that the pain was tearing at his flesh, causing unbearable pain.
I didn't believe it before I came here. After all, she has been a scourge for thousands of years, how could she really be dead
But after coming, he believed it.
If Miss Ji were alive, she would never stay so quietly in his arms.
She would definitely jump up and scold him, calling him a scheming Phoenix man.
But now she was silent and let him do whatever he wanted.
Zhao Yu cleaned her body and face and changed her into new clothes. She was as quiet as a doll from beginning to end.
This was probably the closest he had ever been to her in this life.
Zhao Yu still remembers that three years ago, the old man found him and asked him to take care of the eldest daughter of the Ji family.
For a young and strong man, marrying into a woman's family is a bad idea that hurts his self-esteem.
Zhao Yu frowned, and the old man offered a lot of generous chips.
Zhao Yu didn't listen to any of it. Everything he had at that time was bought with his parents' lives. Although he was not rich, he had no worries about food and clothing.
Before Zhao Yu refused, the old man took out a photo and asked him again earnestly and sincerely.
Seeing the lively and bright beauty in the photo, he suddenly wanted to laugh.
He remembered this person.
Last month, a homeless old man stopped her on the street in Beijing.
The old man wiped his tears and said, "My grandson is missing. I haven't eaten for a day in order to find him. I... I'm so hungry. Kind girl, can you give me ten dollars so that I can have a piece of bread?"
Zhao Yu was sitting in the car and saw a young and pretty girl looking back.
She has bright makeup and looks young, innocent and cute.
Zhao Yu looked at it calmly. He thought that if it were the kind-hearted sister Ji Tian next door, she would definitely help the starving old man.
They were about the same age, so the girl would probably take out her wallet soon.
Sure enough, the girl took out her bag.
But he didn't give the old man the money immediately.
She curled her eyes and said in a surprised tone: "What, your grandson is missing? How can you not call the police for such a big thing? Old man, stand here and don't move. I will call the police for you. The police station will not only provide you with food and clothing, but also help you find your grandson!"
The old man's face changed: "No, no, I just need money for a meal... and then I will go find my grandson by myself..."
"That won't do. 110? Here... Hey! Old man, why are you running?"
The old man with a grim look on his face had already run away without even asking for his walking stick.
The girl sneered and kicked the cane, making an arrogant face at the liar.
Looking worse than others.
Zhao Yu raised his eyes and the corners of his lips slightly raised.
Even the scammers would run away for their lives when they saw her. How vicious.
It's also very cute.
Zhao Yu finally agreed to this inexplicable request.
He admitted that Miss Ji was very beautiful. Perhaps because he was attracted by her beauty or for some other reason, he finally came to the Ji family.
But she didn't like him.
She called him a Phoenix Man, saying that he had ulterior motives and told him to keep his dirty hands off her.
His youthful spirit was trampled upon, and he walked away with a sneer.
They had quarreled many times. Miss Ji was sharp-tongued and could stab people in the heart.
Zhao Yu is also a man with a bad temper. He usually doesn't bother with this stupid woman and just does his own thing quietly.
However, Miss Ji had no bottom line when it came to courting death. One time, he got drunk while entertaining the Ji family.
Ji Tian ran over from the opposite side and supported him.
Ji's Enterprise is like an octogenarian with a terminal illness. In order to support this huge industry, Zhao Yu's own company has been neglected.
Miss Ji called him Brother Yu softly and said something in his ear, but Zhao Yu didn't hear clearly.
He felt like there was a fire burning in his stomach and was extremely uncomfortable.
Zhao Yu closed his eyes and leaned against the lamppost.
Ji Tian suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed his Adam's apple.
Zhao Yu opened his eyes suddenly, but before the nausea could overwhelm him, someone was quicker than him, pulled Ji Tian away, and slapped each of them in the face.
Ji Tian sat on the ground crying, looking aggrieved.
Zhao Yu covered his face and looked at the young lady in front of him.
She first lowered her head and mocked Ji Tian: "You are such a slut! You don't have to be like this. Anyway, I don't like this man. You can just be with him openly. It's better to let Grandpa know so that he can cancel my engagement."
Then she raised her little face, looked at him arrogantly, and uttered two words with her cherry lips.
"dirty."
She was like a proud little peacock, with the butterfly behind her high heels flapping its wings as if ready to fly.
These two words simply trampled all his self-esteem and ridiculous intentions on the ground. Zhao Yu felt cold and angry in his heart, and he forcefully kissed her for the first time on the street.
He forced her to open her mouth, to cry for mercy and apologize to him.
The young lady begged for mercy and apologized, but she refused. She got angry and wanted to hit him. Zhao Yu restrained her. Under the influence of alcohol and years of self-mockery, he untied his tie, tied her hands behind her back, carried the young lady back, and slept with her in his arms all night.
Even though nothing was done.
The price was huge. Originally, the Ji family was going to hold a wedding for them in the spring of the following year. However, this time, Dai Ning did not agree to marry him.
She used the most disrespectful words in the world, which made his face darken.
Ji Mojue also thought that he had ulterior motives and disagreed with him continuing to serve as the general manager of Ji's company.
He, Zhao Yu, bid farewell to the cold and broken moonlight of his hometown, not to let the siblings be humiliated. Feeling disheartened, he went to the Ji family branch.
On the day of his departure, only Ji Tian came to see him off.
Zhao Yu didn't say anything and let her go back.
Zhao Yu thought that the proud little peacock of the Ji family would not die without him. She was smart enough, although she didn't use it on him.
In her eyes, he was cunning, greedy, and had endless means. His eyes were like dirty ice.
Even if the gentleness melted away, she was unwilling to tiptoe in.
After he left, she really lived a good life.
For the first six months, Zhao Yu listened to people describing her life, but later he didn't want to listen anymore.
The Ji family's head office had a big financial problem, but Zhao Yu's hand could not reach that far. He was not a god, and in this situation, even he would be powerless to save the situation in a short period of time.
At that moment, he had a very dark thought.
She looks down on him.
But if... the Ji family is no longer her backer, she will have to please her fiancé.
Zhao Yu didn't go back. He was waiting for her to come find him.
If she was willing to say a few soft words, he would consider anything.
However, he did not wait for this proud girl to come, but instead waited for her to leave.
Zhao Yu has done many things that he regrets in his life.
But later, when he thought about it carefully, he did not regret marrying into the Ji family.
Even though that person didn't give him much happiness.
He buried her by the most scenic lake, where swallows would come to build nests in the spring and the hillsides would be covered with snow in the winter.
He lowered his eyes and carved the words on the stele stroke by stroke.
From the moment he collected Ji Daining's body, he was always calm, as if just an insignificant person had died.
Less than half a year later, Mr. Ji passed away and the Ji family declared bankruptcy.
Ji Tian followed Shi Muyang shyly and timidly.
It is said that the person in charge of the Yan family also has a good impression of her.
Zhao Yu ignored them and began to focus on developing his own career.
His starting point was much later than theirs, and the process was also very long. After many years, he could hardly remember her voice, appearance and smile.
I only remember that this not-so-kind girl had a pair of extremely beautiful eyes.
On a sunny afternoon, Shi Muyang was in a car accident and broke his leg.
Zhao Yu drank his tea leisurely.
In less than half a year, the Yan family made a major financial mistake, and shareholders including Yan Jing were detained and investigated.
The innocent girl next door came to Zhao Yu for help.
Zhao Yu looked at her carefully, and her face turned red.
She even said that as long as he was willing to save Yan Jing, she could follow him.
This woman who killed her sister, borrowed Shi Muyang's hand, and even had the courage to kill her own grandfather, trembled, and shyly stripped naked in front of him.
Zhao Yu laughed out loud.
When Ji Tian died, he was naked.
Some people said that after her husband became disabled, he became mentally ill and started taking drugs, then ran away and was hit and killed by a car.
It’s a pity that her luck is not even as good as Daning’s, and there is not even anyone to collect her body.
Zhao Yu also didn't understand why he had done all these years. It was hard to say that he loved her that much.
The little girl had thorns in her mouth and poison in her body. Every time he got close to her, she would stab him all over.
So later, he decided to forget her and live his life.
My younger brothers and sisters grew up and became outstanding people. Their biggest wish is that their eldest brother will get married as soon as possible.
But Zhao Yu began to vomit blood.
He leaned on the sink and wiped the corners of his mouth.
Zhao Yu frowned slightly.
Not long after, he met a blind old man, who circled around him curiously.
"Tsk tsk, luck is swallowing up."
"You look like you will die young. You are disturbing the favor of heaven. You won't live long."
"Can you tell me, old man, what is your obsession?"
Zhao Yu thought he was a charlatan and ignored him.
There won't be any obsession in his heart.
If he dies, he dies. In this life, he came calmly and it was easy for him to let go of everything. When he dies, he should be just as free and easy.
He called his sister and said, "One day when I die, have someone bury me in the Lake of the Afterlife. The scenery there is quite nice."
Zhao Anan's face was covered with tears.
She secretly went to the Lake of the Afterlife once, where there was already a small grave.
"Should I bury you with the eldest lady?"
Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "No need."
He almost forgot what the rich girl looked like.
Why would he get close to her? He really just likes the scenery by the lake.
But Zhao Yu didn't expect that when he was about to die, a pink ball would squat on his shoulder.
"Hello, I'm the space traveler, No. 86. I can help you with whatever you're obsessed with. Let's make a contract and fulfill your wish."
Zhao Yu shook his head.
Fan Tuan was anxious: "Really anything is possible! Going back to the past, changing the next life, whatever you want, I can do it."
It looked at his soul with eagerness, but the man refused to listen and just closed his eyes, waiting for death peacefully.
"In this case, I don't want your soul either." Fantuan felt like she was number 86, like a bargaining aunt. "How about you refine the luck and wealth you have accumulated in this world, as well as your body after death, and I will fulfill one of your wishes?"
Zhao Yu opened his eyes.
After a long time, Fantuan heard him say.
"Can."
He made a wish.
He couldn't remember what she looked like, and seemed to be about to forget her name.
But his wish was to give that stupid woman better luck in her next life and give her a chance to accomplish what she wanted to accomplish herself.
The pink ball tilted her head: "Don't you love her? Don't you want to be with her?"
Zhao Yu smiled.
"Forget it," he said.
He woke up in Xinghua Village.
The 18-year-old boy rolled up his trouser legs, and the 6-year-old girl leaned against the door shyly: "Brother, the fruits in the back mountain are ripe, can I go up the mountain with Sanniu and the others to pick them?"
Zhao Yu shook his head: "Brother is free tonight, I will pick it for you."
It is summer now, and there are all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants on the mountain. Children are best not to go up there.
Although Zhao Anan was a little disappointed, she still nodded obediently.
Zhao Yu touched her head and said, "I'll take you to town to play after I finish harvesting the rice."
The little girl smiled instantly.
Zhao Yu went to harvest rice. He had been a pampered CEO for more than ten years, so he had no difficulty getting used to picking up the sickle.
Even though everything was weird, he always took it easy.
Until a child ran across the ridge of the field and said in an exaggerated tone: "A young lady has come from the city. She has a lot of things to move into the mountains. I heard that those who work for her get at least 800 yuan!"
Upon hearing this, everyone became restless, and Zhao Yu in the field suddenly raised his eyes.
"Miss", three familiar yet unfamiliar words.
He didn't move.
This scene was different from what he remembered. He remembered that he had worked hard for several years before he met her. How could he meet that person in Xinghua Village now
Ji Tian dressed up deliberately, came to him, and spoke to him in a soft voice.
Zhao Yu was in a delicate mood.
He had personally sent her to the underworld and seen the disbelief and fear in her eyes. Now the seventeen-year-old girl was chattering in his ear.
Nothing happened at all
Before he knew it, the road was bustling with activity. Ji Tian's noisy voice faded away, and when he looked up, he saw the girl standing tall.
She sat lazily on a bamboo chair and was carried by several people, without any mud on her feet.
Everyone was looking at her with curiosity and envy, and when she heard the village chief's words, she looked at him in surprise and trying not to laugh.
Zhao Yu lowered his head in a daze, and saw that his hands and feet were covered with mud. He felt that this moment was a ridiculous dream.
She was not yet eighteen, and he was just a teenager.
Then the younger brother accidentally broke the eldest lady's bowl and deliberately made things difficult for him and asked him to pay compensation.
"I don't care. I want to live in your house and you serve me, or you pay me back."
Zhao Yu lowered his head, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he seemed to want to laugh.
"Can."
Zhao Ping was almost crying. The young boy was worried and felt that he had done something wrong and he wanted to die to atone for his sin.
But suddenly I felt my elder brother touching my head.
"well done."
Zhao Ping: “…” He widened his eyes. Damn! Is his brother mad at him
Zhao Yu vacated his own room, fixed the old windows, and swept the dust clean;
He asked Zhao Anan to put the chickens in the fence and swept the manure in the yard himself;
He went to the bushes outside the house, picked two bright sunflowers, and placed them on the bedside table in the room.
After thinking for a long time, he filled the uneven road in front of the door.
Then he went out to pick her up and bring her home.
As expected, as soon as she arrived, the little girl started to cause trouble.
"Such a shabby place, you want me to live in it?"
If I were my former self, I would probably say, it’s up to you to stay here or not.
Thinking of this, he smiled a little.
"It's not very good. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, tell me."
She glared at him with her round eyes: "Then why don't you tear it down and rebuild it!"
This is simply unreasonable, he rubbed his forehead with a headache. As expected, this little troublemaker is not something that ordinary people can handle.
Seeing her aggrieved look, he said with a smile: "In autumn, I will rebuild a house for you in autumn, okay?"
She raised her chin and nodded with satisfaction.
He knew that the delicate eldest daughter would not eat their food, so he did not call her and just served her parents the meal.
After thinking about it, he went up the mountain under the moonlight to pick some of the fruits that Zhao Anan had been thinking about.
He picked out a few big, round ones without any bugs in them and gave the remaining handful to Zhao Anan.
It was still dark, and as he was fetching water, he heard footsteps behind him.
He turned around and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
The eldest lady squatted down and stretched out her arms with a dissatisfied look on her face.
Zhao Yu lowered his eyes and saw several obvious red marks on her tender arms. The young lady's skin was white and tender, like spotless snow, and these red marks were shocking.
Dai Ning grabbed his sleeve and ordered fiercely: "Light up the mosquito coils for me!"
When he touched the red spots, he frowned.
I forgot about this matter.
"I don't have any mosquito coils at home. I'll fumigate your house with herbs later, and there won't be any mosquitoes at night."
"If it still hurts, apply some toothpaste."
The eldest lady puffed up her rosy cheeks, seeming not very satisfied with the result.
He placed a few round and lovely fruits in her palm.
The young lady's attention shifted instantly: "What is this?"
Zhao Yu glanced at her, lowered his head to fetch water, and said calmly: "Use it to coax my disobedient child."
