Zhang Danqing's question on the other end was unanswered: "What's wrong? Why do you ask so suddenly?"
I didn't talk to him, and said bluntly: "Brother Danqing, the person who drugged me in the nightclub has been caught. She also admitted it herself."
"Really, this is a good thing. The Luo family in the province misunderstood you, so you don't have to worry now."
Listening to Zhang Danqing's calm and gentle tone. I thought of the faint smile on his face. He has been kind to me since he was a child. Even if outsiders hear the word Zhang Danqing, they always associate it with being a killer in fights and a gangster.
I then said: "But some people said that they were kidnapped and took videos and... nude photos." When I said this, I was hesitant in my heart. In case it’s not Zhang Danqing. Then I called him and said this. Doesn't he think of him as a robber
For those who have been in prison, you can imagine how sensitive this topic is.
But I really can’t think of anyone else besides Zhang Danqing. Who else would dare to do such a desperate thing
My voice became lower and lower, and I became less and less confident: "That person suspected that I did it. So he forced me to take out the video and photos. Otherwise, after twelve o'clock tonight..."
I haven't finished speaking yet. Zhang Danqing said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will tell her to shut up."
As soon as Zhang Danqing said these words, my heart suddenly skipped a beat. Eyes widened. I looked around subconsciously. Seeing that no one else was coming, he lowered his voice, but could not conceal his fear, and said, "Brother Danqing, is it really you?"
Zhang Danqing replied calmly: "Zijin, don't be afraid, I won't harm you in my work."
I was so anxious that I almost stamped my feet, frowned and said, "Brother Danqing, it's not a question of whether or not I will be implicated. You also know Rong Xin's family background, and she won't let it go easily."
It really is Zhang Danqing.
The moment he admitted it, I was not relieved, but stressed.
With the Rong family's background, even if Luo Xiangdong wanted to hit Rong Xin, he would have to think carefully to see what the consequences would be. But Zhang Danqing actually tied up Rong Xin behind my back without saying a word, and even took pictures of such things.
I stood there, feeling weak in my legs and a little unable to stand.
In contrast to my impatience, Zhang Danqing was as calm and indifferent as ice. He just said aloud: "I don't care what her family background is, I only know that she bullied my sister. I told you, if anyone bullies you, tell me, and I will help you stand up."
My tears fell all of a sudden, and I didn’t even have time to brew them. I can't tell whether I was moved or scared.
This sentence has always been on the lips of Zhang Danqing since he was a child. It is said that men's promises cannot be trusted, but the spittle Zhang Danqing sprayed was full of nails.
How could I forget that he is a man of his word.
In other words, he has been in prison for the past two years, and I have been outside the prison. The outside world has gradually made me lose the ability to trust a person. In addition, my mother and Luo Xiangdong often warned me not to put my childhood emotions into the adult world.
I believe it too, I believe Zhang Danqing will change.
But he proved to me with facts that he was still the same brother he was before, the brother who would go to great lengths to help me.
I was so choked that I couldn't speak. Zhang Danqing comforted me on the phone: "Zijin, don't cry, I really won't hurt you. I told Rong Xin before that as long as she tells the facts clearly, I will Return the things to her. I didn’t expect that she would dare to threaten you.”
I really want to tell Zhang Danqing that I am more worried about him not being able to eat and walking around in circles than I am about myself being implicated. If Rong Xin turns around and bites him out, then with the power of the Rong family, Zhang Danqing may have to sit through the bottom of the prison.
My throat was choked and I didn't make a sound for a while.
Zhang Danqing's voice gradually became lower, and he said to me: "Zijin, during the two years I was in prison, not only did I fail to protect you, but I also allowed you to be bullied by Xiaowei and Chen Wenhang together. Xiaowei is my biological sister. , I can't do anything to her, I always owe you in my heart."
Listening to Zhang Danqing's words, I just felt that my internal organs were sore and twisted.
"You like Luo Xiangdong so much, and the Luo family is determined to bring Luo Xiangdong and Rong Xin together. Rong Xin is a big trouble, and I must help you get rid of it. Don't worry, I really won't hurt you. I will solve the matter tonight , promise not to let her cause trouble to you again."
I stretched out my hand to wipe my eyes. I took a deep breath and choked with sobs: "Brother Danqing, listen to me and never hurt Rong Xin again. She has already made the matter clear in front of the Luo family and the Rong family. , her father also said that he would take her back to Canada, and we will not meet again in the future. You must not do anything illegal. "
I often heard the word "walking on thin ice" before, but this is the first time I deeply feel what it means to walk on thin ice. The fear that no matter whether I stayed in place, moved forward or retreated, I would fall into the ice hole in any minute, it made my whole body tense and depressed to the extreme.
Zhang Danqing, however, remained calm. He had always been like this, with no major ups and downs in his mood.
He said to me: "Don't worry, she has done what she promised me, and I will do what I promised her, as long as she doesn't bother you again."
I asked anxiously: "Brother Danqing, did you really take those videos and photos?"
Zhang Danqing said: "Don't worry about these, I will deal with the aftermath tonight. Don't call me for a while, lest anyone find out about you."
The more he said this, the more worried I became about him. If Zhang Danqing goes to jail again to help me, what will happen to me? How can I face the Zhang family
"Brother Danqing..."
"Zijin, don't mention this to Luo Xiangdong, or he will misunderstand you."
I gritted my teeth tightly and my eyes were red from holding back. It turns out that he had already thought out all the escape options for me.
I took a deep breath and tried to say a few words to him in a normal tone.
"Brother Danqing, I'm afraid that if we can't hide this matter, Rong Xin won't let it go easily. I still follow Xiangdong..."
"The relationship between the Luo family and the Rong family must be very good, otherwise the Luo family would not want to bring Luo Xiangdong and Rong Xin together. If you ask Luo Xiangdong, will he go towards me or the Rong family?"
I:"… "
I am speechless. When we were in the private room before, I really wanted the waiter to leave quickly, but in my heart I was actually afraid that Luo Xiangdong would investigate further.
Based on my relationship with Zhang Danqing, if something happens, who will believe that it was not me
Furthermore, Zhang Danqing is not my brother after all. Why would he even dare to do things like kidnapping and intimidation for me
Maybe Zhang Danqing said he was trying to apologize, but this doesn't make sense to me. I'm not a fool. At this point, if I say that Zhang Danqing doesn't mean anything to me, I'd be deceiving myself.
It’s just that I really don’t dare and don’t want to face it. I don’t want to make our relationship so complicated.
During my brief silence, Zhang Danqing said softly: "Zijin, you have Luo Xiangdong by your side, and he can take care of many things very well. There are not many things I can do for you, so don't think too much, just do it alone." There is a way for a person. I just hope you don’t blame Xiaowei anymore.”
Zhang Danqing's last sentence was so obvious that it made me feel sour.
The tears that I had managed to suppress welled up again. I covered my mouth with my hand, afraid that I would cry.
Someone would appear in the corridor of the club at any time, so I had to keep an eye on my surroundings to see if someone was coming. I turned my back, wiped my face quickly, and then whispered: "Brother Danqing, I only have one request. Don't hide anything from me. If anything happens, we will handle it together."
Zhang Danqing responded: "Okay, don't worry about me, I will contact you."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
I took my phone into the bathroom and saw myself in the mirror with red eyes. I couldn't deceive Luo Xiangdong like this.
I washed my face and dried it with a tissue. Taking a deep breath, I wanted to calm down, but found that my heart had sunk to the bottom.
Stepping back to the door of the private room, I opened the door and walked inside. Taking advantage of the dim lighting in the private room, I sat directly next to Luo Xiangdong without looking up, then picked up the cup in front of me and took a sip.
Luo Xiangdong looked at me sideways and asked aloud: "Why have you been gone for so long?"
I said, "Call my mom."
After saying that, I put down the cup and picked up the strawberries in the fruit plate and started eating. I deliberately didn't look at Luo Xiangdong's face, for fear that he would see that I cried.
Fortunately, Zheng Zeyu dragged Luo Xiangdong to do something else, and the matter was resolved.
By the time we left the private room at night, it was already more than two hours later. Except for me, all of them drank a lot, and Wei Zheng called a driver for us. Luo Xiangdong and I were sitting in the back seat of the car. On the way home, Luo Xiangdong held my hand and said, "What do you want for your birthday?"
"Um?"
I was distracted, so I didn't listen carefully.
Luo Xiangdong leaned on the leather back seat, looked at me sideways, and asked again: "What do you want for your birthday?"
I asked: "Whose birthday is it?"
Luo Xiangdong laughed: "Don't tell me that you forgot your birthday."
After he reminded me, I suddenly realized. It's already mid-December, and in just over a week, it will be my birthday.
"If you don't tell me, I did forget."
Recently, Rong Xin made me so big that I almost don’t know what month it is, let alone my birthday.
Luo Xiangdong took my hand and touched my fingers intentionally or unintentionally. He whispered: "Not only did I not give you any good gifts for your birthday before, I also made you sad. This year's birthday must be a good one. What do you want? I will give you whatever you want."
Only people like Luo Xiangdong are not exaggerating when they say, "Give me what you want."
If this were normal, I would be extremely happy. But right now I have something on my mind and I can't be happy no matter what.
I tried my best to raise the corners of my lips, and replied with a faint smile: "It doesn't matter, as long as you are by my side."
Luo Xiangdong's fingers passed through my fingers and intertwined with mine. Looking sideways at me, he said with gentle but firm eyes: "I will be by your side every year on your birthday from now on."
