They went upstairs and came to the door. Song Yu didn't bring the key, so he knocked on the door.
It didn't take long for the door to open. Yu Qianying stood in front of him with a gloomy face. She thought it was Song Yu alone, but when she saw Qi Chengzhi, she was a little surprised. Then her face darkened, and there was a hint of resentment.
Song Yu was shocked and immediately knew that things might not be so simple. "Mom."
"Come in first." Yu Qianying glanced at Qi Chengzhi as if she was trying her best to hold back, but she still couldn't suppress the hatred on her face.
Qi Chengzhi silently watched Yu Qianying's reaction. When she turned around, Song Yu couldn't help but look at Qi Chengzhi nervously. Song Yu could only think of one possibility that could make Yu Qianying so angry and even show resentment to Qi Chengzhi.
Her face was a little pale. Qi Chengzhi held her hand tightly to comfort her. They followed Yu Qianying into the living room. Song Donglin sat on the sofa with his head down and a lit cigarette in his hand.
When they entered the living room, Song Donglin was smoking with his head down. When he heard footsteps, he raised his head. His eyes were red, and the whites of his eyes were still red.
He looked at Qi Chengzhi with an indescribable expression. It was complicated and contradictory.
Song Yu's heart tightened. Song Donglin hadn't smoked for many years. He had quit long ago, but today he suddenly smoked again.
Yu Qianying stood with her hands clenched into fists. Her body was tense and slightly trembling.
She took a deep breath and said to Qi Chengzhi, "I heard that the Song family's bankruptcy was caused by you."
Song Yu shook slightly and only heard a "boom" in her head. Her eyes were red, and she choked with sobs. Her breathing was rapid, and she couldn't help but hold Qi Chengzhi's hand tighter.
"Mom …" Song Yu whispered in horror.
Yu Qianying thought that Song Yu was also too shocked and couldn't believe it, so she said coldly, "Don't talk. Qi Chengzhi, I'm asking you, is it true? "
Qi Chengzhi held Song Yu's hand tightly. He looked calm on the surface, but Song Yu could feel that his hand was trembling and his palm was sweaty.
"If you're a man, you have to take responsibility for what you've done. If you didn't do it, we won't wrongly accuse you. "Yu Qianying tightened her lips and chin, gnashing her teeth.
Qi Chengzhi was silent for a while. He tightened his grip on Song Yu's hand and said in a deep voice, "Yes."
"Pa!"
No one expected that Yu Qianying would suddenly slap Qi Chengzhi. Song Yu's heart trembled violently. He looked up and saw Qi Chengzhi leaning his head slightly towards her. A red handprint appeared on his cheek.
She could see his expressionless face, looking as though he was ready to be beaten and scolded. Song Yu cried out in distress, "Mom!"
She stood in front of Qi Chengzhi. Her body was much thinner than Qi Chengzhi's, and she was also much shorter. However, she wanted to protect Qi Chengzhi behind her.
"What are you doing? You still want to protect him? " Yu Qianying said with reddened eyes, "Song Yu, this matter is absolutely true. Look, he admitted it himself. We didn't wrongly accuse him. Don't try to say that there's no misunderstanding here. There's no misunderstanding!"
Yu Qianying suddenly turned around and rushed to the table. She picked up a stack of documents and threw them at Song Yu's feet. "The evidence is all here. It's him who ruined our family's company. It's him who made our family suffer for so many years. It's him who made you suffer for so many years. We even had to be laughed at outside! Otherwise, our family's days would still be fine! "
Yu Qianying sniffled and couldn't help but choke up. Her eyes became more and more moist. Tears welled up in her eyes and she couldn't hold them back anymore.
"It's not an exaggeration to say that what he did is our family's enemy. I actually married our daughter to him. I was so glad that you found a man who loved you and could take good care of you for the rest of your life. But who knew that things would turn out like this … "
Yu Qianying covered her face and cried a few times. She raised her head again and said, "Who knows if he will continue to harm us without saying a word. Qi Chengzhi, how much hatred do you have for our family? You destroyed our family's company and even lied to our daughter. When you were with Song Yu, you kept saying that you loved her. Didn't you feel guilty about it?! You destroyed our family's company first, and then you came after Song Yu. What were you thinking? If you really loved her, how could you destroy her family like this? How could you let her suffer so much? "
Qi Chengzhi didn't say a word. He lowered his head slightly and let Yu Qianying scold him.
"Say something! Give me a reason. Why did you force our family into this state? Did our family offend you? I actually ate at the same table with your family. We talked and laughed. I actually thought that you were good. I must have been blind! "Yu Qianying pointed at Qi Chengzhi, her hand trembling violently.
"Mom …" Song Yu cried.
Yu Qianying's eyes were red with anger. She didn't notice that Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu had been holding hands. She interrupted Song Yu and said, "Divorce."
"Mom!" Song Yu screamed.
"What are you waiting for if you don't divorce him? Hasn't he done enough harm to our family? Who knows why he married you? Our family has nothing to be harmed anymore. What else does he want? I can't accept … I can't accept the person who destroyed our family as my son-in-law. When I saw him, I thought of your father and the pain you have suffered all these years. Song Yu, divorce him. " Yu Qianying was a little hysterical. She raised her neck and the veins on her neck were bulging. "Qi Chengzhi, what right do you have … What right do you have to destroy our family and destroy Song Yu? You married her and saw that she loved you so much. Did you feel very proud? "
"Mom, I already knew," Song Yu said in a low voice with tears in his eyes.
"What is it?" Yu Qianying narrowed her eyes. She vaguely knew what Song Yu was referring to, but she didn't dare to confirm it and didn't want to believe it.
"I already knew the truth about our family's bankruptcy, but I kept it from you because I was afraid that you would be like this. In fact, I already knew before we got married. It was because I knew that I took the initiative to propose to get married with him first. To be honest, he was the one who proposed the marriage, but I was the one who proposed to get married. If you want to blame someone, blame me. I don't blame him, nor do I hate him. " Song Yu said in a low voice. Feeling the firm strength in Qi Chengzhi's hand, she also squeezed back.
His strength was very strong. If it was in normal times, she would feel pain. But now, the two of them didn't feel it. They just held each other tighter and didn't feel pain. They just wanted to draw strength from each other.
Suddenly, she was pulled back by Qi Chengzhi. Then, she turned around and fell behind Qi Chengzhi. Song Yu only heard a "pa" sound. Yu Qianying wanted to hit Song Yu, but Qi Chengzhi protected her. Because of the difference in height between Song Yu and him, Yu Qianying only hit Qi Chengzhi's chest.
"If you knew that he was the one who ruined our family, why did you still marry him? Why? Song Yu, are you after his money? Are you thinking that you can live a good life with him? Why did you hide it from us? Have you forgotten how hard our family lived in those seven years? Have you forgotten how tiring it is for you to get up early and go to sleep late every day while working part time? You woke up at five in the morning and went to bed at two at night. You could only sleep for three hours a day. Your father drove a taxi from morning to night, and I worked as a part-time worker. Have you forgotten all of this?! " Yu Qianying cried. What she couldn't accept the most was Song Yu's reaction. She felt betrayed.
The daughter she had always trusted was like this.
"Yu Keyao was right, wasn't she? You've had enough of this kind of hard life, so even though you know what he did, you don't care. "Yu Qianying was crazy with anger. She was so angry that she lost her mind and spoke without thinking. "Are you unable to let go of the good life with him? Unable to let go of your current status and go out in style? "
"Mom!" Song Yu's face was pale. She looked at Yu Qianying in disbelief and cried out, "In your eyes, am I like this?"
"Qianying! Do you know what you're saying? " Song Donglin, who had been silent all this while, stood up abruptly. He was still holding the cigarette between his fingers and it was about to burn his fingers.
Yu Qianying seemed to have finally regained her senses. Her lips couldn't stop trembling. She didn't look at Song Yu and Qi Chengzhi, her eyes empty.
"Mom, I love him." Song Yu cried. His eyes were blurred with tears, and his vision was covered with a thick layer of mist. He couldn't see clearly. "I love him. I love him so much that I don't care what he did. I love him so much that no matter what he did to me, I can't hate him. I don't blame him. I know he loves me. He has loved me since a long time ago. Because he loves me, I don't blame him for everything he did. "
"I know that after our family went bankrupt, we couldn't adapt to the new life at first. It was very hard. But actually, the life we lived was the life of ordinary people. Those ordinary people who worked hard to earn money, didn't they live like this? How many people who worked hard to earn money could actually open a company and make a lot of money? It was because of this difference that we felt bitter. But when you think about it calmly, what kind of suffering did we really suffer? We didn't sleep on the streets. We had a house to live in. We earned our own money and worked hard to make a living. We could afford to go to university. Mom, actually, we lived the life of ordinary people. But because we had never lived it before, there was a difference from the life we had before, where we lived extravagantly and bought branded goods abroad. But in reality, out of the billions of people in this world, how many people lived like that? In my opinion, what we lived before was not a normal life. It was just a rich life for a few people. "
"Actually, I never regretted our family going bankrupt. Maybe because of that, I didn't hate much in the first place." Song Yu said, "At that time, you wanted me to get engaged to Qi Chengji. I didn't have any choice at all. You didn't even ask me if I wanted to marry him. My marriage was decided just like that. I said I didn't want to, but you said that I was young and didn't understand. At that time, I didn't have to worry about food and clothes, and I didn't have to run around for a living. But I didn't have any right to make my own choices. I was like a puppet being led around by you. When you led me to take a step forward, I couldn't take two steps forward. At that time, I didn't think that I was living a happy life. I just told myself that there were so many people in the world who couldn't even eat. It was too much for me to blame myself here. That's how I got here one step at a time. "
"After going bankrupt, I was tired, but my heart wasn't tired. I lived for myself back then. Whether it was good or bad, I could make my own choices and take responsibility for my own matters. Chengzhi led our family to go bankrupt because if our family hadn't gone bankrupt, my engagement with Qi Chengji would have to continue, and I would have to marry him in the future. It was because he loved me too much that he couldn't watch me marry another man. "
Yu Qianying's eyes widened in disbelief. She took a few steps back. "Just because he liked you, he made our family go bankrupt. Don't you think that's too scary?"
Song Yu's chin trembled. "Yes, but I love him. What can I do? I love him, so I don't think it's scary. I love him, and my heart aches for him for waiting for me for so many years. In fact, my biggest regret is that I didn't fall in love with him earlier. I'm also grateful that he broke the production line and gave me freedom. "
"Maybe my words will disappoint you, but after I got together with him, I've thought more than once. If you hadn't insisted that I get engaged to Qi Chengji, would everything have happened now? The Song family wouldn't have gone bankrupt, and you wouldn't have suffered. When I first got together with Chengzhi, no one talked about my engagement with Chengji. Yu Keyao and Mu Sisi wouldn't have come to trouble me again and again just because my current identity and background are not as good as theirs. The two of us would have been smooth, and there wouldn't have been so many disgusting things. "
"So, you've always been blaming us, haven't you?" Yu Qianying looked at Song Yu. She had never heard Song Yu say these words before.
"I'm not blaming you. I'm just saying that everything has a cause and effect. Because you made me get engaged to Qi Chengji, our family went bankrupt. But because our family went bankrupt, I got freedom. I didn't have to wait for a marriage that I didn't want and marry someone that I didn't want. I was also able to meet Chengzhi again and see how good he is. "
"Actually, if our family hadn't gone bankrupt and I hadn't gotten engaged to Qi Chengji, maybe I wouldn't have seen how good Chengzhi was. I might have gotten together with Jian Yi and I might never have known his true colors. In the end, I would have been fooled by him and the Song family would still have fallen into his hands. So, it's really hard to say whether a lot of things are good or bad. " Song Yu laughed softly and sniffled. "Dad, Mom, I'm selfish. I've always been thinking about my freedom and didn't think about whether it was fair to you. But aside from that, I really don't hate him at all. I don't ask you to forgive him, but don't make us get a divorce. "
"You —" Yu Qianying looked at Song Yu with disappointment. She raised her hand and wanted to hit her, but she couldn't do it to her daughter. She was so angry just now that she didn't have time to think about it. Fortunately, Qi Chengzhi stopped her.
After that, she regretted it.
"She's pregnant." Qi Chengzhi, who had been silent and allowed Yu Qianying to hit and scold him, said in a low voice, "When you called her today, we just came out of the baby supplies store and bought some clothes for the child. Today, we just went to the hospital for a checkup. It's a boy."
Yu Qianying's eyes suddenly fell on Song Yu's belly. She already had a child. She couldn't force her to abort it and make them get a divorce, right?
Song Yu gently placed her palm on her belly. "When you called me, I said that I had good news to tell you. I was referring to this."
Yu Qianying's shoulders trembled in contradiction. She looked at Song Yu's belly and then at Song Yu and Qi Chengzhi. She really couldn't express her feelings at the moment.
After a while, she slowly nodded. "Well, you even have a child, and you still love each other. It sounds really unreasonable to force you to divorce."
Song Yu looked at Yu Qianying with hope in her eyes, but she heard Yu Qianying say, "Since you love him so much, go back with him and live a good life. Don't come back. You don't even care that your home is ruined like this, and you can easily forgive him. Then go back and live a good life with him. I can't accept it. As long as I see him, I think that he broke the Song family and made your father suffer at such an old age. I can't accept him, and I can't even see him. I can't help but hate him when I see him. You go, and don't come back. You love him so much, even more than you love us as parents. In the future, just pretend that you don't have us as parents! Anyway, we forced you to do so many things that you don't like to do, and made you so unhappy. According to what you said, if we didn't force you to get engaged to Qi Chengji, there wouldn't be these things today, right? We only have ourselves to blame for everything. "
"Mom!" Song Yu was anxious and cried even more fiercely. He felt that his chest was twitching. "You know that's not what I mean. Are you going to not recognize me as your daughter?"
"How dare I? In your eyes, as parents, aren't we not as important as a man? Do you care what I think? "Yu Qianying fiercely wiped the tears on her face.
"Mom, don't do this, I beg you. Chengzhi is very good. He is really good. Why can't you see him? Except for this, he has not done anything wrong to us. He really loves me, your daughter, and intends to protect me for a lifetime. Isn't that enough? Didn't dad also say that he is very satisfied with his current life and doesn't regret going bankrupt? It was his fault for making the Song Family bankrupt. But now we are all living so well. Why can't you forgive him? Mom, because of this, you don't even want your daughter? "Song Yu reached out to grab Yu Qianying's hand, but she shook it off.
"I only ask you, between us and Qi Chengzhi, which one will you choose?" Yu Qianying asked stubbornly with a stiff face and red eyes.
"Mom!" Song Yu shouted as if she had collapsed, and her voice was broken.
She didn't expect that Yu Qianying would ask her to make such a choice.
At this moment, Qi Chengzhi, who was guarding in front of her, moved.
Song Yu watched as one of his legs bent and his knee slowly fell to the ground. Then, the other knee also fell to the ground. Just like that, he knelt in front of Yu Qianying.
Song Yu covered her mouth. In her eyes, he had always been tall and proud. He was so elegant and proud. When did he bend like this?
No matter who he was facing, even the two elders of the Qi family, he was always calm. No matter how angry they were, he never blinked or changed his face.
Now, he was kneeling in front of Yu Qianying.
"I'm sorry." Qi Chengzhi said in a low voice. His voice was mellow, but Song Yu felt very distressed.
Qi Chengzhi didn't say anything more. He only said these three words.
Did he regret it? He never regretted it, nor did he do things that he regretted. But he also knew that he couldn't say that to Yu Qianying.
Yu Qianying didn't expect that Qi Chengzhi would kneel to them. He was so proud that he had never been so humble to others. The young master of the Qi family, with his handsome face and elegant bearing, was not a person who would easily admit his mistakes.
"I'm sorry? What's the use of saying sorry now? It's easy for you to say sorry. But can the harm we have suffered be erased so easily? Can the Song family go back to the past? Can our company come back? After our family went bankrupt, can all the criticism, ridicule, and grievances we have suffered disappear? Do you think a single 'sorry' is enough to negate all of this and pretend it didn't exist? "
