Qu Jingzi leaned against the corner of the wall, separated from the outside by only a layer of curtains, and could clearly hear the movement outside, even the vague sound of water.
He closed his eyes, but the voice became clearer and echoed in his mind automatically, with flickering images and that sharp edge.
He heard the man panting and teasing: "Why do you get caught every time, huh? What are you doing out in the middle of the night?"
There was no woman's voice.
Qu Zhengming continued: "So nervous. Haven't done it outside, excited?"
Qu Jingzi's mind was buzzing, trying hard to control her heartbeat and breathing, she clenched the curtain in front of her tightly.
He heard the woman struggling, threatening, and begging, but Qu Zhengming ignored her at all and sneered repeatedly.
As soon as he turned around, he pressed Yaoyao against the fence, and the wooden fence immediately groaned and creaked under the weight.
He listened blankly, and through the gap in the curtains, he saw her being pressed against the fence, her snow-white legs unable to kick, and then tightly wrapped around the man's waist, hurting her eyes in the dark.
During the whole process, she didn't make any sound, only a suppressed sob overflowed at the end.
Qu Zhengming picked up the limp woman, glanced at the drawn curtains again, and said in a satisfied voice, "Go back to bed and continue."
The sound of going downstairs gradually subsided, the sound of closing the door sounded, and the night returned to silence.
Qu Jingzi let go of his hand in a daze, and the fruit knife fell to the ground with a "clang", which made people tremble with fear.
He just wanted to...
He must be crazy.
Throwing Yaoyao on the bed, Qu Zhengming smiled and said, "It's time to open your mouth."
Yaoyao raised her foot to kick him, her legs were weak, but he grabbed her ankle instead.
After struggling twice but unable to get away, Yaoyao said angrily, "Do you know where Jing Zi is?"
Qu Zhengming kissed her feet and sneered: "I'm not blind."
"Then you still..." Yaoyao trembled all over, "Are you still shameless?"
"I have a private meeting with my stepson in the middle of the night, are you giving me shame?"
"step son?"
Qu Zhengming sneered.
"What do you mean?"
"Literally, let the Civil Affairs Bureau come over tomorrow and go through the formalities."
"I don't!"
"You have no right to say no."
After taking a shower with her in his arms, he changed another sheet and lay back on the bed. Qu Zhengming stroked her back, "Forget it if you don't want to. If I find out next time, I'll send Jingzi abroad."
Yaoyao was silent for a long time, then said indifferently, "You can do whatever you want."
Qu Zhengming raised his eyebrows.
Yaoyao sneered: "Anyway, it's impossible for me to be with him, so send him away and let him start a new life."
As soon as the words fell, she met Qu Zhengming's scrutinizing eyes, Yaoyao turned her face to ignore him, and was pushed back by him, "Truth?"
Yaoyao frowned: "Boring."
Qu Zhengming smiled, his eyes were bright, as if he had drunk alcohol, "I have already said that you are not suitable."
He held her hand, bit it lightly, raised her leg, put it on his waist, touched her smooth skin, and his breath became hot again.
Yaoyao struggled and cursed softly, "Why didn't you die on a woman?"
Qu Zhengming kissed her, and said vaguely: "Death is also death on you."
After all, she still didn't continue. At three or four in the morning, Yaoyao was extremely sleepy. She did it again just now, and she really didn't have the strength.
Qu Zhengming took a few more sips from the unfinished wine, and she became even more dizzy.
Half asleep and half awake, I heard him calling her name.
Yaoyao gave a vague "hmm".
He asked, "Why did you find Jingzi?"
Yaoyao's drowsy brain instantly woke up, she didn't move, she rubbed against his arms, and asked in a daze, "What?"
Qu Zhengming patted her thigh, "Don't sleep yet, why are you looking for Jingzi?"
Yaoyao: "He asked me... if sending him abroad has anything to do with me."
"How do you answer?"
Yaoyao opened her eyes, her eyes blurred, she smiled and said, "I said... yes."
Yaoyao fell asleep right away, but Qu Zhengming didn't. He looked at her for a long time, and finally turned the corner of his mouth.
Qu Zhengming was not very angry this time when he caught her and had a private meeting with Jingzi again.
He deliberately wanted her on the balcony, just to let Jingzi face the reality, she didn't resist, although she didn't make a sound, her body was cooperating.
Perhaps, she really figured it out.
Or maybe... Her goal is not Jingzi, but herself
Qu Zhengming thought about it, but he couldn't figure it out. In the business field, he has offended many people, but he seldom kills them all. It is unlikely that some people hate him to such an extent, and they are deliberately trying to trick them.
Is he thinking too much
He also remembered the results of the investigation on Yaoyao, a very clean girl.
If you really misunderstood...
Qu Zhengming got up suddenly, and it was already dawn. He called and said, "Help me check the orphanage that adopted Chen Yaoyao. The focus is on the financial situation. Give me a list of all donations."
In her sleep, Yaoyao smiled silently.
The next day, when Yaoyao woke up, there was no one around her. She finished washing, got dressed, and went downstairs.
Qu Jingzi sat in the living room with a straight body and a pale face.
"Jingzi?"
Hearing the sound of going downstairs, he stood up suddenly, pulled Yaoyao away, "Follow me to a place."
Yaoyao hurriedly asked: "Where are you going? How long have you been waiting? Have you had breakfast?"
Qu Jingzi didn't answer, but Housekeeper Liu quickly answered: "Miss Yaoyao, please persuade the young master, he sat here waiting for you early in the morning, and asked him when the husband left, but he didn't even say a word to him. "
Yaoyao: "Eat first, we'll talk about anything after dinner!"
Qu Jingzi looked at her and saw her resolute attitude, "Okay."
During breakfast, no matter what Yaoyao asked, he didn't say a word, and when Yaoyao finished eating, he took her away.
He didn't let the driver see him off, and he drove very fast, Yaoyao was sitting on the co-pilot, her heart almost jumped out.
The place I took her to was Xu Miyan's cemetery.
Putting the chrysanthemum in front of the tombstone, Qu Jingzi said, "Mom, I'm here to see you."
"You know Yaoyao, right? She's your student." His voice was low and hoarse, and it seemed even more ethereal when blown by the wind.
Taking out the crumpled piece of paper, he gently flattened it and placed it in front of the tombstone, "Yaoyao gave it to me, I..."
He closed his eyes, speechless.
A gust of wind blew and the paper rattled, Yaoyao couldn't help but flinch.
She was a little timid, with an inexplicable feeling of wind and wind. Although it was a game, she was lying in front of the dead after all.
Where did she pick this paper out of the trash can? It was clearly the perjury she made by taking pictures of Xu Meiyan's diary and tracing her handwriting.
For so many days, she enlarged the photo and traced the words over and over again, finally reaching the point where the real ones could be confused with the real ones.
If Xu Meiyan has a spirit underground, don't crawl out to trouble her.
After all, it's just a bunch of data, right
Qu Jingzi turned around, "You approached me...and him to investigate the cause of my mother's death?"
He didn't even want to call his father anymore.
Yaoyao nodded.
"Then...you said you like me, is it also a lie?"
Yaoyao shook her head, "It's true! I've known you for a long time. I've seen you go home with Teacher Xu, but you don't know me."
Qu Jingzi suddenly hugged her tightly and said in a hoarse voice, "I believe in you."
"Don't worry about this matter," Qu Jingzi pushed her away, and said quickly, "I know who you suspect, this is my family matter, let me handle it."
Yaoyao shook her head, "No, I'm already stuck, I won't leave."
She lightly stroked the boy's thin face, and whispered: "Jingzi, don't worry about it, let me do it, okay?"
Qu Jingzi hugged her tightly and murmured softly: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Why..."
Yaoyao had a smile on her face: "Because... I only want you to be carefree forever, because... I want to protect you."
With a sigh, drifting away with the wind.
There was a new email, Qu Zhengming opened it, which contained a list of people and companies that had funded the orphanage over the past two decades.
He screened carefully, but couldn't find anyone who fit his vision.
He called again and asked if these were all lists, and the other party replied: "No, there are still some anonymous remittances, which are more troublesome, and I am checking."
"A lot?"
"A lot, thousands of remittance information."
"First check the people around me, compare the bank card information of the people around me with your data, and see if there is any result."
"Okay, I'll do it right away, and I'll give you the result in ten minutes."
Qu Zhengming hung up the phone, leaning on the chair and lost in thought.
Her life history is too simple, and there is no doubt at all. Before, he thought that the meeting in the nightclub was a conspiracy. He spent countless efforts to investigate, but found no doubt. It was an accident. Just a coincidence.
But her reaction was really abnormal, maybe his train of thought went wrong, the first time was really an accident.
The most worthy consideration for her is her experience in the orphanage. If there is a secret, it must be there.
Less than ten minutes later, the phone rang again.
Qu Zhengming immediately picked up the microphone.
"The result is out. Your wife has been anonymously donating to this orphanage for nearly twenty years. I sent you the list of beneficiaries."
Qu Zhengming had already clicked on it, and among the hundreds of names, he saw the word "Chen Yaoyao" at a glance.
It matches the results I found before. Chen Yaoyao studied well in middle school and was able to be admitted to a school no less than the Academy of Fine Arts based on cultural courses. In the end, he chose an art academy that cost more, and he just happened to be successful. Xu Meiyan's student.
There is an explanation for all this.
She was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts for Xu Meiyan, and also because of Xu Meiyan's approaching respect.
From Xu Meiyan's funeral, her behavior became abnormal, deliberately approaching herself and Jingzi.
Qu Zhengming frowned, could it be that he took care of their father and son for Xu Meiyan
Is this possible
Qu Zhengming's mind was a little messed up, and he carefully recalled the scene of the first meeting, when he met her in the living room that night, her attitude...
is caring!
That's right, it's caring!
She was going to comfort herself.
Qu Zhengming stood up abruptly, grabbed his clothes and strode downstairs.
He's not sure if it's memory beautification, she might really have the idea of seducing him when he first met, in that case, it's understandable, if he doesn't help, she will be taken back, any woman will use this A natural ability to lure the opposite sex to achieve her goals.
Seeing him later at the funeral, she was surprised and pleasantly surprised.
Later, when she approached Jing Zi, it was also to comfort him who had just lost his mother.
The same thing, considered from another angle, the result is completely different.
Qu Zhengming knew that his mentality had changed, and he was subconsciously beautifying her behavior, but this reason was reasonable and not fabricated.
He frowned tightly. If she really misunderstood her, how much should she hate him
As soon as Qu Zhengming got home, he saw Yaoyao getting out of Qu Jingzi's car, and the two of them walked side by side, they were a perfect match, they were such a dazzling pair of lovers.
He frowned, turned and went upstairs without saying a word.
Qu Zhengming's car was parked in the yard. When Yaoyao got off the car, he let go of Qu Jingzi's hand and said, "I told your father that we will keep a distance in front of him in the future, and just treat it as if I gave up on you. ?"
Qu Jingzi agreed with a sullen face, but he couldn't persuade Yaoyao, so he had to do his best to cooperate with her.
In any case, he didn't want their guesses to be right.
The two went upstairs one by one, Qu Jingzi's bedroom was in front, and Qu Zhengming's bedroom was in the back. He stopped in front of his own bedroom and said, "I have class this afternoon."
Yaoyao nodded, "En."
"Wait a minute."
Yaoyao turned around, he opened the door and went in, and soon came out again, taking out a piece of paper.
Yaoyao opened it, and it was her own portrait.
Qu Jingzi lowered his head: "I finished the painting last night."
"Thank you." Yaoyao's eyes turned red, "I like it very much."
Qu Jingzi forced the corners of her lips to curl up, "It's just as long as you like it."
He watched her step by step away, disappearing behind the door of another bedroom.
When Yaoyao entered, she saw Qu Zhengming sitting at the desk watching the news. She quickly put the drawing paper behind her back and asked, "Didn't you go to the company? Why did you come back so early today?"
Qu Zhengming raised his head, his eyes fell behind her, "What are you hiding?"
Yaoyao pursed her lips and remained silent.
Qu Zhengming walked up to her, pulled out her arm, took away the drawing paper in her hand, opened it, and it was her portrait.
It is self-evident who made it.
With a warm smile, the girl in the painting caresses a brightly blooming rose. The flower blooming on her neck adds a bit of charm. Feelings.
He looked at the painting and then at Yaoyao.
In front of her, except for the only meeting at the funeral, she never showed such a smile again.
Qu Zhengming returned it to her, "The painting is not bad, frame it and find a place to hang it."
Yaoyao raised her eyes in surprise, she thought that with Qu Zhengming's temper, she would tear the painting up.
Qu Zhengming glanced around, picked a picture frame of similar size, took out the valuable works inside, disassembled it, and put the portrait in it.
"It's a bit big. Let someone come over and order one tomorrow. Let's make do with it in the next two days."
After speaking, he took down the picture frame on the head of the bed and hung Yaoyao's portrait on it.
Yaoyao smiled behind his back, thinking of the phone call last night, it seemed that Qu Zhengming had found the "truth".
He knew the relationship between himself and Xu Meiyan, but he was not on guard against him. Instead, his attitude improved a lot from the bottom of his heart. From this inference, Xu Meiyan's death was really not his fault, otherwise his first reaction would be to think that he was here. Revenge is right.
Oh, this won't work, she has to speed up her pace, if the father and son sit down and have a heart-to-heart talk, how can she play
She was thinking about bad things in her heart, but her face was full of doubts and guards.
After hanging the painting, the two remained relatively silent.
After discovering the truth, he didn't know how to get along with her.
"Have you had lunch yet?"
"I've eaten." I ate with Qu Jingzi on the way back.
Qu Zhengming frowned. When he was young, he played like crazy and never took it seriously. After he got married, he didn't pay much attention to Xu Meiyan. Now that he thinks about it, he has never had a serious relationship.
Yaoyao doesn't give him face, and she can't act arbitrarily like before...
Qu Zhengming pulled open his neckline irritably, stood up, "I haven't eaten yet, go eat with me."
Yaoyao: "..."
It is the ego that comes out from the bottom of my bones, and I can't change it even if I want to.
Going shopping after dinner, Qu Zhengming perfectly explained what straight male cancer is. He doesn't care what Yaoyao thinks, he buys it if he likes it, even if Yaoyao doesn't like it, he doesn't buy it if he doesn't like it, even if Yaoyao likes it.
A total dictator.
Although someone paid the bill, Yaoyao was not happy shopping.
This dissatisfaction finally exploded when Qu Zhengming insisted on Yaoyao trying on a backless dress.
Yaoyao said with a cold face, "I won't try."
Qu Zhengming frowned: "Why?"
"dislike!"
"I like it. Going to try."
"No."
"Why don't you like it?"
"I can't wear it out."
Qu Zhengming smiled, "I didn't intend to let you wear it out, but showed it to me at home."
Yaoyao turned around and left.
Qu Zhengming's face darkened, "Yaoyao."
She ignored him and went straight to the elevator.
Shopping with this kind of person is simply a short life.
Qu Zhengming threw the clothes to the waiter and asked her to arrange for someone to deliver them home, and followed them leisurely.
Yaoyao sat in the car with his back turned to him, Qu Zhengming started talking twice, but no one answered, and he was also annoyed.
Losing his temper in public, and showing his face when he came back, he really got too used to her recently.
After fighting coldly for a long time, Yaoyao took a shower and was about to go to bed, but was entangled by him again.
Yaoyao was so annoyed that she pushed him hard.
He grabbed her hand, kissed her, and rubbed against her there.
Kissing and kissing, he stopped, and her face was wet.
Unlike the last time he vented his fear, this time it was just sobbing silently. As soon as he let go of her, she turned her back to him and curled up into a ball.
The thin shoulders trembled slightly, which made people feel distressed.
"Why are you crying again?" He frowned, "You've been aggrieved after putting on a face for me all day?"
…
"Okay, don't cry, your eyes are going to be swollen again."
…
"What's the matter? Stop crying, ah."
His voice became softer and softer, he held her in his arms and coaxed her softly.
Yaoyao choked with sobs and said, "Can you find someone else? There are so many women who are prettier than me, you can change to another one, I can't take it anymore."
Qu Zhengming's eyebrows were slightly lowered, and he asked calmly, "Why, am I treating you badly?"
Yaoyao didn't answer, just cried.
Qu Zhengming thought for a while, "I will only buy what you like next time, okay?"
…
"If you don't want it, don't do it. I won't force you."
Yaoyao raised her eyes to look at him, and said in a hoarse voice: "I can't stand being treated as a prostitute, as a tool to vent my desires."
Qu Zhengming wanted to say that he never regarded her as a prostitute, but thinking about what he said, even he didn't believe it, let alone her.
When he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly wanted to understand why Yaoyao never said anything, but now he was dissatisfied.
Is it because the resentment has accumulated to the extreme and started to explode, or...she has different demands on herself
Thinking of this possibility, Qu Zhengming suddenly had a strange longing, he was looking forward to... Yaoyao really loved him.
He found it very funny, but couldn't help thinking, why not
He thinks he is better than most men, maybe there is something she doesn't like, but it's not impossible to change it, if he treats her well, it's normal for her to fall in love with him.
I didn't have this idea before, but when I got up, it was like a demon, lingering in my mind, and I couldn't drive it away.
He happened to have a big project with a foreign company that was about to start, so he decided to go there in person and take Yaoyao with him. During this time, try to keep away from Jing Zi as much as possible. Every conflict is caused by Jing Zi, and he will come back when the relationship between the two is stable.
Perhaps because they were far away from the fuse, the relationship between the two has really improved a lot when they are abroad.
We went shopping together hand in hand, made a cake together on Yaoyao’s birthday, shared the food sweetly, and communicated in bed more harmoniously, the harmony of water and milk, the combination of deep love and affection, compared to one party’s coercion and the other party’s passive acceptance to enjoy many.
When he was most excited, he whispered love and marriage in her ear, and he didn't even feel regretful afterwards.
Yaoyao's attitude softened day by day, she acted as if she was really moved by him, she no longer resisted his intimacy, and even took the initiative to have some little fun to act as a catalyst.
Qu Zhengming even thought that love really happened between the two.
Until one day when he returned to the hotel, there was no one in the room. He thought she had gone out to play, and wanted to call her to come back, but the call indicated that the phone had been turned off.
His heart suddenly became cold, and he opened the document cabinet, only his passport was left in it.
Qu Zhengming was a little confused, he didn't know what happened and why she left suddenly.
When Qu Jingzi picked up Yaoyao from the airport, she was pale, her eyes were blue, like a broken crystal doll, she ran back in pajamas.
He didn't ask her why she came back, he already guessed it.
Yaoyao sat in the car with a hoarse voice and said, "Don't go back there."
"I know."
Qu Jingzi took her to his small house, and Yaoyao took a flight for more than ten hours, full of dust and dust, with nothing on her except her mobile phone and ID.
Yaoyao was resting at home, Qu Jingzi asked someone to deliver dinner, he sat beside her, gently held her trembling hand, silently comforting her.
After eating, Qu Jingzi saw that her mood had stabilized, so she asked, "Why did you come back suddenly?"
Yaoyao looked at him, her eyes were watery, and her dark pupils were full of cracks.
Without making a sound, she took out her mobile phone and showed him a photo.
— It was a divorce agreement signed only by Qu Zhengming.
Qu Jingzi stood up abruptly, zoomed in on the photo, the words "Qu Zhengming" were, yes, it was in that person's handwriting, and the time was a week before her mother's death.
Yaoyao: "Did you know beforehand?"
Qu Jingzi's pursed lips turned purple, he shook his head, "I've never heard them mention it."
Yaoyao looked at him, the boy's well-knit hands were clenched into fists, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging. She gently put her hand on his hand, just like him before, silently comforting.
The matter was already very clear, Qu Zhengming wanted to divorce, Xu Meiyan did not agree, and she died on purpose, or on purpose.
No matter what the truth is, Qu Zhengming is the murderer.
Qu Jingzi asked in a daze: "Yaoyao, tell me, why was he able to snatch you away just after my mother passed away?"
He couldn't figure it out, but in his heart, his father, like his mother, had always been a pride worthy of admiration.
But one day, this pride snatched his girlfriend away, and also directly or indirectly caused the death of his mother.
What should he do
Yaoyao didn't say a word, she didn't need to speak at this time, saying anything would be superfluous.
Qu Jingzi sat on the sofa, his eyes were empty, and slowly, he focused on the paper knife placed next to the drawing paper.
The scene of that night involuntarily appeared in front of his eyes, the girl he liked was crushed by that person, only a few steps away from him...
The man's panting, the obscene sound of physical collision, and the sharp blade on the ground...
Yaoyao faintly heard the sound of the elevator door opening, she hugged him suddenly, and kissed his stiff lips.
This hug, this kiss, was like the last straw to save him, Qu Jingzi reacted and responded frantically to her.
He fell on the sofa, and the marker next to him fell all over the floor, and no one cared.
Qu Jingzi eagerly plunders the last warmth, the longing for something that has been unavailable for a long time, the thing that should belong to her, but was snatched away by others...
He kissed her, as if trying to extract the last trace of meaning in existence.
—Even if it is drinking poison to quench thirst, it is also sweet.
He was so crazy and so absorbed that he didn't even know the door was opened.
Qu Zhengming pushed open the door, his already cold face instantly froze.
The woman's hands tightly hugged the young man's back, and she wore a delicate diamond bracelet on her wrist, which he just bought for her yesterday.
She didn't bring anything, and ran back in her pajamas, just for this
Heh, what a raging fire, I didn't even know he opened the door and came in.
Qu Zhengming picked up a water glass next to him, weighed it, and fell heavily to the ground.
A loud noise finally woke up the two who rolled together, Yaoyao saw the man's face through Qu Jingzi's hair.
The expressionless face, and the cold eyes.
She couldn't help but shuddered, his eyes were terrifying.
Almost at the same time, the intoxication on Qu Jingzi's face quickly faded away, replaced by another kind of madness.
He was about to get up almost immediately, but Yaoyao held him tightly, and she begged with her eyes, don't, don't do stupid things.
In a frontal conflict, Qu Jingzi must not be able to beat Qu Zhengming, he can't kill him, and he can't kill his parents and children, the result will only be a misunderstanding. Then she would be busy for nothing.
Seeing her hugging her tighter, Qu Zhengming became even more angry, and sneered: "Not yet."
Yaoyao pressed Qu Jingzi tightly until he "calmed down", then pushed him away and stood up.
The pajamas were torn off, revealing the delicate collarbone and the newly added red marks on it.
The cold anger spread, Qu Zhengming reached out, closed the neckline for her fiercely, dragged her out by her wrist, dragged her all the way upstairs, and threw her on the bed.
Qu Zhengming was so angry that his head was covered, he sneered: "Take a flight of more than ten hours and come back just to have a roll on the sofa with Jingzi? Bitch!"
Especially, when he thought the two of them were in a good time, she betrayed him without warning.
Obviously everything was fine yesterday, she even said she liked him.
This made him even more angry than when she really got out with Jing Zi before.
In addition to anger, there is pain that is hard to ignore.
Yaoyao sneered: "Yes, you are so right. How could I like you? How could I like a rapist?"
"Good! Good! Good!" Qu Zhengming was so angry that he said three good things in succession. He rushed forward and tore her clothes, "Since I am a rapist, there is no difference between rape once and a hundred times."
Yaoyao struggled and shouted: "Jingzi, save me!"
Qu Zhengming sneered: "Let me see if he can save you!"
Qu Zhengming took Yaoyao away on the front foot, and Qu Jingzi followed on the back foot. The two cars almost entered the gate of the Qu family one after the other.
Qu Jingzi strode into the room, but was stopped by the butler, "Master, what are you in a hurry for?"
Just as he was about to talk to the housekeeper, he suddenly heard Yaoyao's cry for help. His mind was so hot that he didn't care about anything else. He grabbed the fruit knife on the coffee table and rushed forward.
The housekeeper turned pale with fright, and shouted: "Master, you are..." As he spoke, he was about to snatch the knife from his hand.
Qu Jingzi pushed him away, with blood in his eyes, he said: "This is our family business, get out!"
After speaking, he strode up.
The butler hurried over to call 110, this time something really happened.
