Chen Jiamei panicked and screamed at the top of her lungs, "Dad, I was wrong! Please forgive me this once! Give me another chance, let me turn over a new leaf! "
She knew very well that if she did not admit her mistake now, she would never have another chance.
She decided to use her usual trump card. Tears fell from her eyes as she pretended to be pitiful.
However …
This time, Chen Yaozhong was unmoved.
He snorted coldly and said, "I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it! You can't blame me for this! You asked for everything that happened today. "
Chen Jiamei hugged her adoptive father's thigh and said, "Dad, please don't blame me on account of our 20 years of father-daughter relationship. I'm young and inexperienced, so I was blinded for a moment. However, I didn't do anything outrageous. I only made a few harmless jokes. I won't dare to do it again. I'll be a good person in the future. I'll work diligently and serve you seriously. I've called you Dad for 20 years. You can't be so heartless. "
Chen Yaozhong lifted his leg and kicked her away. "I'm heartless? What if I'm heartless? I won't be here talking to you today! I'll just create a car accident. At the very least, I'll break your legs and make you lie in bed for the rest of your life! I can also sell you to a Southeast Asian human trafficker and let you stand on the streets to solicit customers. Or, you can spend the rest of your life with a poor old man in a ditch. I'll let him beat you, scold you, and enslave you! "
Huh?
Chen Jiamei shook her head in fear. She knew very well that although her adoptive father looked scholarly, he was a soldier after all. He was neither good nor evil. When he was angry, he would not be easy to deal with. If he said it, he might actually do it.
She knelt on the ground and kowtowed loudly. "Dad, Dad, please don't do this to me. You've doted on me for 20 years. How can you bear to do this to me?"
Chen Jiaxuan also said softly, "Dad, please reconsider! Mei Xiang 'er is too young, but she knows she's wrong … She'll repent. "
Chen Yaozhong looked calmly at Chen Jiamei. "A man who is never content is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. You could have enjoyed the 5% shares and lived a comfortable life. You could have even been friends with my Xiang'er. You could have been happy with Xi Ling after I passed away. You could have had a perfect life and a perfect home … "
"…"
"But you recklessly chose the other path! You want to touch my, Chen Yaozhong's, woman … You deserve to fall to the ends of the earth. You deserve to die! "
Without another word, he waved at the four black men and said, "Go!"
Several dark-skinned men came forward and dragged Chen Jiamei up like they were grabbing a chick. They turned around and were about to leave.
With Chen Jiamei's small physique, how could she be a match for them?
Both of his arms were restrained, and there was no room for resistance at all. His two legs kicked the ground desperately, and he shook his head crazily. He could only spit out a few words from his mouth. "No! I won't … I won't leave! "
The corners of Chen Jiaxuan's mouth curled up into a sneer. His voice sounded calm, as if there was no wind or rain. "Mei Xiang 'er, you should understand my character. Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit! Go! If you dare to make a fuss, it's simple. I'll cut off your tongue and break your legs! I mean what I say! "
He meant what he said?
Really!
He used to be a warlord in the old days. What couldn't he do?
When the few black men heard this, they immediately grabbed Chen Jiamei's limbs and lifted her into the air. They looked like they were waiting for the order to "dismember" her into pieces.
Chen Jiamei was so frightened that she choked and bit her lips. Did she dare to speak again? She didn't even dare to fart!
Chen Jiaxuan was about to plead for mercy when she met her father's cold gaze. She couldn't help but shiver. She had no choice but to step aside.
In the blink of an eye …
A few black tower-like "gorillas" carried Chen Jiamei and left quickly. They soon disappeared from the hospital corridor.
The ward was silent …
Both father and son seemed to have something on their minds.
Chen Yaozhong pushed his wheelchair to the window and stared at the scenery outside … The cold wind blew and the leaves on the tree were bare and lifeless.
After an unknown amount of time.
The door opened …
Tang Xiling came back. When she entered the room, she saw the empty bed and was stunned. She quickly looked around and saw Chen Yaozhong by the window. The panic in her eyes disappeared and she called out softly, "Yaozhong?"
She seemed to know what had happened from the man's back view. She quickly walked up to him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Yaozhong turned his head, the smile on his face as bright as the morning sun. He couldn't help but reach out a hand to her with his palm facing upwards. His voice was gentle and low … The domineering aura from before was completely gone. Instead, it was replaced with the care of a child. "Xiling, you're back? Is it cold outside? "
Tang Xiling walked up to him quickly and placed her small hand in his big palm like a well-behaved and sensible girl. "It's not cold!"
She looked back at Chen Jiaxuan and immediately felt a little embarrassed. She smiled shyly and was about to pull her hand back.
Chen Yaozhong held her hand and refused to let go … There was no one else in his eyes. His vision was occupied by the woman who was smiling with her head bowed. In a trance, he felt like he was back in his youth. There was a happy smile on his face.
He retracted his arm and pulled Tang Xiling in front of him. His knee touched her calf.
After a moment of silence, he went straight to the point affectionately. "Xiling, will you marry me? From now on, you'll be my woman, Chen Yaozhong! You'll take my surname and my name! No matter what happens, I'll take care of you for the rest of your life! "
Tang Xiling covered her mouth with one hand as if she didn't hear what he said. She blinked her confused eyes … and didn't say a word.
Confused?
Really!
She felt like she was in a dream.
A golden millet dream of more than 20 years had come true at this moment. The man she had been longing for was looking at her affectionately … It was even warmer than a dream.
Her wish of so many years had come true …
Her infatuation for half her life had come to an end …
But when it came down to it …
She was a little shocked and in disbelief.
Chen Yaozhong scratched her palm lightly. "Hmm? What's wrong? Are you silly? "
He pursed his lips and smiled. "You don't want to marry me? What if I kneel down and beg you? "
After he finished speaking, he struggled to get out of the wheelchair. His legs were almost bent. Tang Xiling quickly held him and complained softly, "Are you crazy? What if you stretch the wound? What if the wound gets infected? "
Chen Yaozhong still looked at her anxiously. He held her little hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear from his sight. "Xiling, you haven't answered me! Are you willing to marry me or not? "
He was a little anxious and said repeatedly, "You don't want to? Do you think I'm sick? Not in good health? That I'm no longer the high-spirited man of the past? That I'm not good enough for you now? But I … "
Tang Xiling covered his mouth. She wanted to say a few words, but her voice was choked and her tears unknowingly fell … She was so emotional that she couldn't say a word.
She was half worried and half happy!
Happy … Her long-cherished wish was about to be fulfilled. Her 20 years of waiting were not in vain. She could finally spend the rest of her life with her lover legitimately. Her child would have a status, and her family would be complete.
Worried … She wanted to live a long and happy life, but her "husband" was terminally ill. Even if he proposed, he could only sit in a wheelchair.
She felt a warmth in her chest, but there was also a little pain … The sadness after the worry of gains and losses and the joy was so torturous that she couldn't speak. She could only sob silently.
Tang Yaozhong raised his big hand and gently wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes … His thumb was calloused from holding a gun for many years, and it was rough as it scratched her delicate skin. "Xiling, I may not have much time left, but it's because of this that I want to give you the perfect ending! You wasted 20 years of your life for me. You wasted the best years of a woman's life. I have no way to repay you. I can only give you the rest of my life … Not even a minute or a second less! "
Tang Xiling took a deep breath. "Yaozhong, since I was 14 years old, I've been looking at you without any complaints or regrets. I don't feel that I've wasted my time. Even if you're not by my side, you're still in my dreams. In my heart, Mi Xaing 'er is still with me … She's the best gift you've given me!"
Chen Yaozhong's eyes were covered with a layer of mist. He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Tang Xiling stretched out her arms and gently hugged him. "If we're talking about 20 years of time, you've also been waiting for me. Is it a waste? I don't think so! I think that the happiness of this reunion is enough to make up for the long wait! "
She squatted down and looked directly into the man's eyes. She said word by word, "Yaozhong, of course I'm willing to marry you! In this life, in the next life, I'll only follow you for all eternity! "
Chen Yaozhong laughed and rubbed his big hands excitedly. "Xiling, you agree? Really? Really? "
His voice gradually lowered and turned into a melancholy sigh. "But I'm still not reconciled! Why did all this come so late? Why did we miss 20 years? We've just reunited, and we haven't even had time to enjoy life … Why do we have to part forever? "
Tang Xiling shook her head firmly. "No! Yaozhong, you can't leave me behind again! I want you to grow old with me! I want you to play with your grandchildren with me! I want you to see Xiang 'er with your own eyes … and hear her call you daddy with your own ears! "
----- Digression —
