"Are you angry?" After going upstairs, I knew I was in the wrong, so I poured Song Yu a glass of water as soon as I entered the room. Seeing that he rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, I took the initiative to go over and massage his shoulders.
"Are you tired?" I didn't know my voice sounded so guilty.
Song Yu took the water and drank a sip, seeming to have just recovered, "Some... I was just in Yizhou, and when I heard the news that Zhuo Yang was in trouble, I rushed back. How is he?"
I shook my head, my brows still furrowed, "We have just passed the critical period."
"That's good." Song Yu put down the cup, his face slightly relaxed, "Let's go see him some other day."
"You..." I hesitated for a moment, still unable to bear the guilt rising in my heart, "Well... at that time, only Zhuo Yang's mother was with me... so..." So I accompanied her to the hospital.
"You don't have to explain." Song Yu interrupted me, and then I felt that his tone was too quick and seemed a little anxious. He took a breath, pulled me into his arms, hugged me tightly, and then slowly said: "I'm sorry... I was mean to you just now... I'm sorry... I still care a little."
For a moment, I thought of what Zhuo Yang said to Song Yu in the underground garage.
He said that being together is not just about love.
Because when two people are together, they cannot be just two individuals, but actually two families, or even two levels of social relations.
I leaned on Song Yu's shoulder, playing with his cufflinks, and after a while I slowly said, "I didn't tell you... your mother and I went shopping that day... she didn't like me."
I felt a warmth on my cheek as Song Yu's hand gently reached out to me.
"I know. I also know you've worked hard... It's okay, I'll take care of everything, don't be afraid."
I should feel at ease with Song Yu comforting me like this.
But, strangely, my heart feels empty at this moment, without any feeling.
There was only deathly silence and indifference.
The next day, Song Yu and I went to see Zhuo Yang. Zhuo Yang was not in a good mental state, but he still greeted us reluctantly when he saw us.
I brought soup to Zhuoyang. He drank a small bowl of it. It seemed that the wound was very painful. He hissed and lay down again.
"Brother Zhuo Yang, what are you going to do?"
Zhuo Yang glanced at me and said, "Let's handle business as usual."
"Then..." Song Yu hesitated for a second and said, "Just ask me if you need my help."
Zhuo Yang curled the corners of his lips, seemed to smile and wanted to say something, but in the end he just looked at me and said nothing.
After that day, I never went to see Zhuo Yang again. I just gave all the supplements and soup to Zhuo's mother, who was very dissatisfied with me.
But I just told her that I was divorced and she was completely blocked.
Song Yu took a week off and stayed at home with me. Occasionally, he would take me back to the Song family. In front of Song Yu, Mrs. Song no longer looked at me with disdain, but as soon as Song Yu left, she returned to her previous arrogant and cold demeanor.
As for Mrs. An, I also heard what Song Yu said.
Zhuo Yang and his friends found a psychiatric expert from somewhere, and the expert determined that Mrs. An had the ability to discern and control her own behavior when she committed the crime, so she would definitely pay the price for stabbing Zhuo Yang.
After Mrs. An of the An family passed away, the An family also collapsed completely.
I didn't go to see Mrs. An, but not long after, the police called me and said that Mrs. An wanted to see me.
"I heard you wanted to see me." I thought about it all night and finally decided to go see Mrs. An.
"I didn't expect you to come..." Mrs. An sneered. The beautiful woman who was well-maintained before now had gray hair. After not seeing her for a while, she seemed to have aged by twenty years. Her face showed signs of old age, and I even saw the aura of decadence and death in her.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" I asked hesitantly.
"No... I just want to tell you something... I hate you... I really hate you... You are just like your cousin's mother... disgusting..."
"… "
I should be angry.
But in the end, I didn't. I stood up calmly and said to the depressed woman in the prison: "Like you, I never liked you. But fortunately... This is the last time I see you... Goodbye... Or should I say, never see you again."
"Humph... the little girl has claws now, will she still scratch people? Hahahaha..." Mrs. An seemed to have thought of something inside and laughed strangely, "An Yue, you will never be happy. The daughter of a mistress is also a mistress. I curse you... You will die the same way as you do! You will never be happy in your life."
My mother’s death has been my lifelong nightmare. I really want to turn around and slap that hateful woman hard.
But in the end, I just took a deep breath.
She was already at the end of her rope, and why should I let her stupid provocation ruin my mood
When I walked out of the door, Mrs. An's voice was still heard from afar.
"I hate... I just hate that I didn't stab that ungrateful bastard to death... that bitch... I hate... I really hate..."
The door closed, shutting out the noisy sound.
A caring policeman came over and asked, "Miss An, are you okay?"
I shook my head and smiled, "It's okay... Thank you, I'm fine."
When I go out, I still can't help but sigh.
Unexpectedly, in just a few short years, the An family had reached the point of being broken up and destroyed.
His father died, the company failed, An Ran died, and finally Mrs. An was thrown into jail.
It seems that there is a destiny in the dark, and everyone's fate has been arranged by God, and no one can escape it.
I looked at the big screen at the intersection from afar, which was showing the companies and factories under the An family being disbanded or sold. Of course, the most important news was the news that Mrs. An stabbed the president of Excellence and was now under criminal detention.
I breathed a sigh of relief, perhaps, this is the end.
I met Li Chen at the intersection.
His complexion was not good and was a little pale.
Looking closely, he seems to have lost a lot of weight.
Seeing me standing at the intersection, he turned the steering wheel and came over to greet me, "An Yue, where are you going... I'll take you there."
I thought about it and nodded, "By the way, why are you here?"
Li Chen touched his nose and said, "I heard about Brother Zhuo's situation and I'm going to the hospital to see him. What do you think? I don't like the feeling of being in the hospital. Let's go together."
Everything is over now, there is no point in me shrinking back like this.
"good."
I agreed.
"Song Yu is back?"
"Yeah... but I just left today."
"Really? I heard that he is doing quite well in Yizhou. That's good. Jun Jiutian's territory over there should be a hundred benefits for him without any disadvantages."
"Jun Jiutian?" A strange name came into my mind.
"Yeah. The Party Secretary of Yizhou... He's quite a capable person."
I thought, he is probably a man in his forties or fifties with a big belly. I am no longer interested. After hearing what Li Chen said, this man is probably on Song Yu's side, so that's good.
We encountered a traffic jam on the way.
Li Chen tapped the steering wheel, somewhat impatiently.
I looked at him from the side and it seemed to me that he had lost a lot of weight.
"how have you been?"
"well enough… "
Li Chen's smile was a little dry. I wanted to ask more questions, but the road ahead was open quickly. He stepped on the accelerator excitedly. The extremely fast speed in an instant made the curiosity in my heart slowly dissipate along with the strong wind that poured into the car.
Zhuo Yang didn't seem to see me coming, perhaps he didn't expect Li Chen and I to come here, and he looked surprised.
"How come you..."
"Put away that jealous face of yours..." Li Chen put the supplements on Zhuo Yang's piled-up table unhappily, "By the way, your room smells really bad... Hospitals are smelly..."
Li Chen sniffed in disdain, and finally looked at Zhuo Yang on the bed, "I never thought that you would get stabbed one day."
Zhuo Yang looked indifferent, ignored Li Chen, and just said to me: "There are fruits in the basket over there, you can find some to eat yourself."
"..." I was speechless. Although I looked at those blue fruits for a second, I have never been a foodie.
"There are fruits... I like them!" Before I could say anything, a foodie in the room excitedly said, "An Yue, help me peel an apple... I'm hungry..."
That expression on his face when he was assigning people to do things was as mean as ever.
I glared at him in annoyance, and Zhuo Yang's response was to throw an apple at him.
Of course, I ended up washing the fruit. Li Chen seemed to be talking to Zhuo Yang.
When I came back with the apples, they both looked at me and shut up at the same time.
"Um... I have something to do, I'll leave first." Putting the washed apple in Zhuoyang's hand, I picked up the bag on the chair and walked out.
After just a few steps, Li Chen caught up.
"Wait for me... I'm going back too... By the way, the apples are good." After saying that, the big foodie took a bite of the big apple with a "click".
"Just eat it...be careful not to choke."
Coincidentally, Li Chen's face changed as soon as I finished speaking.
He turned pale quickly, and his whole body slowly curled up.
"Hey... stop pretending... I won't believe it."
I was wary of Li Chen. This man has first-rate acting skills, but I was stupid and was fooled every time.
I stood there hesitantly, looking around. Sure enough, after a while, Li Chen stood up, playing with his short silver hair in a very coquettish manner, and said shamelessly: "Oh... Oh... You finally learned your lesson... That's good, you won't be foolishly deceived by men in the future..."
I spat at him and despised him even more in my heart.
Sure enough, I shouldn't have wasted my sympathy on this man.
But, that day, I didn’t notice that Li Chen never touched the apple again except for the first bite.
