Qin Huimin and the last trace of blood on his lips disappeared.
Her son had been proud and arrogant ever since he was a child. He never lowered his head easily, even to her. But now, he was using both force and gentleness, using the strictest tone to say the most humble words.
...
What else could she say?
She clenched the corner of her clothes tightly. She felt that her knees were still aching when she knelt down.
"I know you didn't come back by accident. I will find her and bring her back. You are my mother. What I hope for the most is that you can accept her wholeheartedly." Qin Fangang took a deep breath and brushed his delicate features with his palms. After a moment, he lowered his voice slightly, but every word was clear. "... I know you're very angry right now, but I don't have time to comfort you. I've thought about telling you this countless times. Mom, wait for me in D City. When I find her and bring her back, I'll come to see you again. But for everything, you should start with me and not the woman I love. "
"... Because she has no right to refute you. Even if she's wronged, she won't say a word. But mom, my heart will ache."
...
Ten minutes later.
Qin Huimin was the only one left in the hotel suite. Qin Fangang had already left for ten minutes, but she remained in the same position, standing stiffly by the sofa. She didn't react until her phone rang.
When she picked up the phone, all ten of her fingers were a little stiff. Qin Huimin gulped and took it out after a while. She glanced at the caller ID and quickly adjusted her emotions. Then she pressed the answer button.
The male voice on the other end was familiar but also unfamiliar to her. It was just a simple sentence. "... Are you back?"
Qin Huimin closed her eyes tiredly. She sat on the sofa in a daze. Her mind kept replaying what Qin Fangang had just said to her. She didn't know why, but her heart ached.
At this point, she had no choice but to admit that she was actually just standing in the position of a woman and being jealous of another woman.
She had always been exceptionally docile in front of Lu Shiyun. Even 20 years ago, when she was forced by Li Muhua to give birth to Lu Shiyun, she had never complained to him. She had willingly given birth to Qin Fangang. Only she herself knew that she had always had such a hope in her heart.
She thought that Lu Shiyun still had feelings for her. One day, he would overcome all difficulties and let her return to D City …
But after so many years, it was still just wishful thinking. Which woman wouldn't want to be doted on by the man she loved?
In the end, she still couldn't get it.
Qin Huimin gently exhaled. She didn't know what she was thinking, but by the time she realized it, those words had already left her mouth —
"After so many years, you've never asked me to return to D City. This time, you said you wanted to bring forward your 50th birthday party and ask me to come back, but I know you just want me to stop our son and Leng Xinyu … Shiyun, you knew about the matter between Fan Gang and Leng Xinyu, but you pretended to be confused and asked me to step in … Even if I knew, I would've done it without hesitation. In the end, our son blamed me and blamed me. He even told me without hesitation how much he liked that woman … Now I'm suddenly wondering, after all these years, have you ever thought about me like this? "
Lu Shiyun froze on the other end of the phone and didn't say anything for a long time.
Qin Huimin's heart slowly turned cold. She always thought that after so many years, she had already mastered the skill of "invincibility." Only now did she realize that the human heart was made of flesh. Some things, some feelings, you thought you had already forgotten, but in reality, they weren't. This was because it would always be hidden in the most secretive places. A word, a look, or an action from others would be able to evoke those lowly thoughts.
It was never-ending.
"… So I've been dreaming the same dream for more than 20 years. I've been hypnotizing myself and refusing to wake up. Don't worry, Fan Gang is my only family. If I want to survive in this world, I won't let him continue making mistakes. I believe you know that one sentence from me is more useful than ten sentences from you. Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked me to return to D City. I only have one request. I don't want to go back to England. I've endured it for so many years and I've had enough. This time, I'm back, so I won't leave. "
…
Xin Yu stood at the door of the ward and took a deep breath. She reached out and wiped her face. After thinking about it, she still felt that something was wrong. She took out the small mirror that she always carried with her from her bag. She looked at herself in the mirror and saw that her complexion was normal. Then, she reached out and pushed the door open.
It had been a while since she last saw Leng Dongming at the hospital. As soon as she entered the hospital, the attending doctor told her that Leng Dongming's condition had been good for the past few days. He said that his emotions were much more stable and his mind was clearer than before.
Xin Yu was naturally happy. Previously, she wanted to take her father away from here because she was worried that he would be under too much pressure if he stayed here all year round. Moreover, she had seen how the medical staff treated her father …
However, when she came this time, the doctors were very polite. She didn't know if she was overthinking it, but she felt that the mood of the people in the hospital changed inexplicably quickly.
How could she not know if they were truly respectful to her or if they were just being perfunctory?
However, at this time, she couldn't be bothered to care about these things.
Leng Dongming was holding an apple and peeling it very seriously. When he heard footsteps, he looked up and saw Xin Yu. He actually recognized her.
"… Daughter, you're back?"
Xin Yu's heart trembled. She hadn't heard her father call her that in a very, very long time. She also saw the smile on his face. She only felt that all the grievances she had suffered at Qin Huimin's hands could be thrown to the back of her mind. However, her throat was a little dry. She couldn't help but tear up again. She hurriedly turned her face away, not wanting to lose control in front of her father.
Leng Dongming saw it. He put down the apple in his hand and stood up. He walked over to Xin Yu and grabbed her wrist. He asked very seriously, "… My dear daughter, why do you look like you've been wronged? What's wrong? Tell me, did someone bully you at school? "
Xin Yu forced a smile. She shook her head and said in a choked voice, "… No, Dad, I didn't …"
"You're still lying to me. Do you really think I don't know anything? Tell me, did someone bully you? Dad will help you teach them a lesson! "
Perhaps you've had this kind of warm feeling when you were young. Your father is your sky. When you've been wronged outside and run home with red eyes, your father's warm and somewhat rough hands will help you dry your tears. Then he will fiercely say, 'Who dares to bully my precious daughter? Dad will avenge you. '
…
This kind of fatherly love was unparalleled in the world.
Xin Yu tried to hold it in, but in the end, she couldn't hold it in. Her heart was heavy and uncomfortable. She desperately needed to find a way out to vent her grievances and unwillingness.
"… Dad, no one bullied me. I just … fell in love with … a man I shouldn't have."
Xin Yu lowered her eyes. When she spoke, she had been controlling her emotions, so she didn't notice that her words made Leng Dongming's eyes flicker for a moment.
Leng Dongming gently pressed his hand on Xin Yu's shoulder and said gently, "Who's the lucky guy? Who can make my precious daughter fall in love with him? But since it's love, then don't hesitate. There's no such thing as' should 'or' shouldn't 'in this world. Daughter, as long as you don't do anything outrageous, your feelings are free. If you want to love, then love. "
Xin Yu raised her head in surprise. Looking at Leng Dongming's loving smile, she had mixed feelings.
Actually, she was just looking for a kind of comfort. If her father knew that the man she fell in love with was her husband's biological brother, would he still be like this?
…
Xin Yu grabbed Leng Dongming's hand. Just as she was about to say something, there was a sudden movement outside the door. Because the room's soundproofing wasn't very good, she could clearly hear the sound outside.
It was the nurse saying to someone, "… Mr. Qin, I'm sorry, but you can't go in here. Mr. Qin …"
Mr. Qin …
Xin Yu's heart thumped. She didn't have time to think too much. She quickly grabbed Leng Dongming and said, "Dad … Dad, I'm going to hide in the cabinet. If someone comes in later, don't tell them I'm here, okay? Dad, do you hear me? "
Leng Dongming nodded blankly. Xin Yu didn't care too much. She directly slung the bag on her wrist over her shoulder, walked to the cabinet, opened the door, and hid in it.
It wasn't that she didn't want to see Qin Fangang, but right now, she didn't know how to face him.
As a mother, she was kneeling in front of her and begging her to let her son go … Xin Yu really couldn't describe that feeling. It was more than a fly stuck in her throat. It felt like a blade was stuck in her throat.
She wasn't a coward, but she couldn't ignore a mother's heart.
She promised Qin Huimin that she came to Leng Dongming with a broken heart. She thought that Qin Fangang would come looking for her, but she didn't think it would be so soon …
The cabinet door was made of solid wood. Her body was curled up in the cabinet, so she couldn't see the situation outside. Even though she was in such a small room, separated by a wooden door, she could hear everything clearly.
Her soft little hands instinctively clutched at the corner of her clothes, and even her breathing subconsciously became lighter.
…
Qin Fangang appeared to be in a hurry, so the little nurse couldn't stop him. His facial features were very cold. As soon as he entered the hospital, it was like he was in a deserted place. He directly found Leng Dongming's room. When he pushed the door open and walked in, he saw Leng Dongming sitting on the edge of the bed in a hospital gown.
Qin Fangang stopped in his tracks. The little nurse behind him wanted to chase after him, but Qin Fangang was really impatient. He furrowed his brows and said in a deep voice with some severity, "Is there something shameful hidden in this room? You can leave now! "
