Chapter 115 The True Meaning of Love Compared to Growth, Daddy is More Afraid of You...
Chi Liuai hesitated for a moment. The room was quite quiet. She looked down at her shoes.
She was still wondering what Meng Yuzhi wanted to ask her when he called her in under such circumstances.
He Jinze's face darkened when he saw Chi Liuai push open the door. He stood up, but was pushed back down by Meng Yuzhi. The two men sat on the sofa, one standing, the other sitting, both looking at Chi Liuai.
Meng Yuzhi was smiling, but Chi Liuai knew he wasn't very happy.
"Liu'ai, what is your relationship with him now?" Meng Yuzhi asked bluntly.
He Jinze said: "We will get married soon."
Meng Yuzhi's gaze fell on He Jinze. He Jinze smiled and said, "Brother, I admit that you are lucky to have met Liu Ai early, but Liu Ai owes me too much, a life."
Chi Liuai's face flushed red and he told He Jinze to shut up.
Meng Yuzhi said calmly, "Your father, a man who will die sooner or later, caused Liuai to lose his brother. Who do you think owes whom?"
He Jinze was stunned, Chi Liuai remained silent, she thought so too.
To be honest, morality constrains moral people, and Chi Liuai's evil nature was cultivated by Meng Yuzhi.
Chi Liuai felt no guilt for the death of He Jinze's father. Meng Yuzhi knew Chi Liuai too well, so everything was under his control.
"Did I say it was him?" He Jinze challenged.
Meng Yuzhi turned to look at He Jinze. He Jinze pushed Meng Yuzhi's hand away, relaxed his shoulders, and stared into Chi Liuai's dark eyes.
"My sister-in-law is pregnant with my child. Does this count as a human life?"
Chi Liuai's head buzzed, thinking that she had completely touched Meng Yuzhi's bottom line. She could hardly move her feet and said to He Jinze, "Stop talking. Go away."
Meng Yuzhi closed his eyes, his leather gloves wrinkled and fell to the ground.
"I can explain." Chi Liuai said to Meng Yuzhi.
He Jinze smiled: "What are you explaining? Explain how this child was conceived? I'll help you."
Chi Liuai ran over, but Meng Yuzhi grabbed her wrist and pressed her into his arms. They both watched He Jinze stand up.
He Jinze stared at the intertwined hands, his tone quite serious.
"She couldn't even close her mouth, and then she got pregnant."
Chi Liuai's face was as pale as a dead person.
Meng Yuzhi: "Get out."
He Jinze took a step forward: "Brother, are you angry already? Don't you really spoil her?"
For a moment, Meng Yuzhi smiled in He Jinze's sight. He Jinze was stunned. When he took two steps forward, blood-red liquid suddenly splashed into the air.
It’s very important, it’s a reminder.
Meng Yuzhi said coldly, "It's been a while since you contacted the He family."
He Jinze's face looked quite grim. Meng Yuzhi called him and told him that He Wanbai had passed away. The old man was deeply shocked and had been forbidding him to tell He Jinze that the company under the He family's name had been singled out for investigation, a traitor had appeared in the shareholders' meeting, and the news had leaked in advance, causing the stock price to plummet. Even former partners had stepped back and waited to see the situation.
"Brother, brother! She's mine, she's my girlfriend! You can't take her away!"
He Jinze felt a ringing in his ears and suddenly rushed forward. Standing at the door was Old Man He, who had rushed over. His old body was blocking the door, and the loose skin on his face was trembling.
"Do you want me to die?! Do you want me to die?! Jin Ze, do you want the He family to accompany you in your mischief?"
He Jinze stopped, Meng Yuzhi's tall body turned his back to He Jinze, and the sun was shining directly on him. He Jinze saw Meng Yuzhi tilt his jaw and look at him coldly.
"Jin Ze, isn't it interesting to play like this?"
He Jinze's ribs ached, but Meng Yuzhi watched him struggle calmly.
Compared with all this, Chi Liuai's motionlessness made him look particularly pathetic.
He Jinze gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "Do you know how many times we've slept together? Do you know that she likes her own brother? She'll run away and betray you, brother, do you know that? She always hurts and irritates everyone with a clear conscience, abandoning so many people. I've seen so many of her ex-boyfriends and know how many people she's toyed with. She's always causing trouble and betraying people. She owes me so much, and she's not willing to pay it back. Brother, you've let me go so many times, give her back to me."
He tried to use Chi Liuai's evil to make Meng Yuzhi let go of this unworthy woman.
Unfortunately, He Jinze would never be able to understand how much energy it takes to take care of an immature child.
Meng Yuzhi weighed Chi Liuai's good and bad, right and wrong, in his hands and kept them in his mind.
At this moment, He Jinze made a sad accusation.
It is a denunciation of Meng Yuzhi's educational failure.
Meng Yuzhi frowned helplessly for the troublesome person in his arms.
It would have been fine if I had just caused such a commotion when I went out, but I ended up getting bruised all over.
Meng Yuzhi lowered his eyes to look at Chi Liuai and scolded him softly, "Is this fun?"
Chi Liuai didn't dare to speak, so he lowered his head, put his ear to Meng Yuzhi's chest, and heard Meng Yuzhi's heartbeat.
Meng Yuzhi finally said to He Jinze.
"I'm sorry, I usually spoil the child too much, and I had a quarrel with you recently."
Meng Yuzhi walked forward slowly and in a calm tone as he came up to the bodyguard who had just been rough with Chi Liuai. The people outside the house received the instructions, and Chen Hui skillfully prepared the compensation cash and put it aside. Meng Yuzhi smiled and said something before leaving.
"Is it necessary to lock someone up and bully them?"
He Jinze couldn't believe it.
Meng Yuzhi asked He Jinze directly.
"Jin Ze, didn't I give you a chance?"
"It was you who made her cry in front of me on the first day."
Didn't he ever think of teaching Chi Liuai a lesson? Why? Didn't Meng Yuzhi hate him?
She hated Chi Liuai's fickleness, hated that Chi Liuai refused to break up with He Jinze just to see her brother, hated that Chi Liuai used her without any guilt, hated her playful nature, and hated her unsatisfied love.
Chen Hui was driving in front, and the partition slowly rose up.
Chi Liuai listened to the sobbing sound of the wind and couldn't help crying, but she was very sensible and lowered her cry so as not to disturb Meng Yuzhi's already bad mood.
Meng Yuzhi didn't like to teach her outside, she knew that didn't mean it didn't matter when they were alone at home.
Especially now, Meng Yuzhi's large palm was pressing on her lower abdomen.
Chi Liuai was afraid that Meng Yuzhi would hate her.
Everyone, including Chi Liuai and Meng Yuzhi, felt that this reunion had to be based on hatred, so that they could vent their unspeakable emotions.
Originally, Meng Yuzhi thought that it would be nice to go and see the child, but later, he felt that it would be enough to just be by his side and there was no need to meet him in person.
But hearing her name made Meng Yuzhi unwilling.
Unwilling to accept and uneasy.
Meng Yuzhi really scoffed at Chi Liuai's playful relationship and the so-called passionate young love.
When he saw He Jinze narrowing his eyes, he understood - a substitute, fully demonstrating his concern for Lin Zhun for the past three years.
What about him?
Meng Yuzhi has plenty of plans to break up Chi Liuai and He Jinze.
The truth that has not been revealed, the existence of Lin Zhun, if it were not for Meng Yuzhi's intention, no one in the He family would dare to reveal it.
Testing, ambiguity, and even enduring He Jinze's touch on Chi Liuai.
Everything is under Meng Yuzhi's control.
Even mature men are eager for their lovers who have made mistakes to come back and admit their mistakes.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
Meng Yuzhi only needed to wait at home. After the setback, Chi Liuai, bruised and battered, returned to him with a broken self.
But.
This kid is so cunning.
Chi Liuai looked really pitiful when she cried.
Meng Yuzhi closed his eyes and thought, forget it.
Meng Yuzhi, who hadn't had a good sleep in three years, arranged various tasks that frightened Chen Hui without closing his eyes for several nights. However, all of them were overturned because of a few tears that He Jinze thought were useless.
Chi Liuai's way of getting love is very simple.
Just stand where Meng Yuzhi can see you.
Lin Zhun also felt the same way, so his reply to Chi Liuai was
——If you have any difficulties, find Meng Yuzhi.
After Chi Liuai encountered trouble, she called Meng Yuzhi from the hospital, otherwise she would never be able to leave after the proposal.
"I'm sorry I got into trouble."
Chi Liuai said, burying his head in Meng Yuzhi's shoulder.
Meng Yuzhi relaxed his facial muscles and closed his eyes.
"What disaster?"
"The He family is in a mess because of me. Jin Ze, He Jinze is in a mess now."
Chi Liuai stopped talking. This matter was beyond her ability to handle.
It doesn't matter whether you love He Jinze or not.
From now on, she will be by Meng Yuzhi's side.
"It's a small matter." Meng Yuzhi said in a calm tone.
"What if they don't like me, target you, and work together against us?"
Meng Yuzhi smiled: "It's okay."
“Will your business be affected?”
"Won't."
"Will there be any danger to life? Just like three years ago."
"Didn't I tell you, it's a small matter." Meng Yuzhi lowered his eyes and stared into Chi Liuai's eyes.
It seemed as if Chi Liuai had turned the He family's life upside down and pushed He Jinze to the brink of collapse. The He family was likely to undergo a major reshuffle, and Meng Yuzhi would have to pay a price.
In Meng Yuzhi's eyes, such a mess is a trivial matter.
Just like before, the life-threatening danger was a trivial matter in Meng Yu's mouth.
If you don't like it, break up.
The rest of the things have always been Meng Yuzhi's job.
——Help Chi Liuai deal with troubles, including love debts.
Chi Liuai sobbed a few times, as if Meng Yuzhi was not afraid of anything, and asked him again: "What if I don't like you anymore?"
After saying this, Chi Liuai regretted it.
There was no emotion in Meng Yuzhi's black eyes.
After thinking for a while, he sighed.
"That's really troublesome, but you won't do that, right?"
Chi Liuai nodded several times, her chest and abdomen heaving with her crying, and she buried herself in Meng Yuzhi's arms.
At this moment she really wanted to cry.
In fact, the happiest time with He Jinze was during their brief cohabitation. She discovered that this man, who looked like her brother, actually had the same lifestyle and routine as Meng Yuzhi, and even the same tone of voice when he was angry.
"I'm sorry, it's really, really similar. I miss you so much."
Chi Liuai opened his mouth and tried hard to squeeze out the tears and words from his chest, but although he was clearly speaking, every word was swallowed into his throat and abdomen. His body was fighting with his emotions, and Chi Liuai's words were intermittent and vague, which turned into sobs.
She didn't explain what she meant by "like" or "thinking".
Meng Yuzhi heard it clearly.
Chi Liuai really had nowhere to go. In this world, apart from Meng Yuzhi, there was no one else like her, with memories of the past, and only Meng Yuzhi remembered her and her brother.
If she lost Meng Yuzhi, where could she go? She had no way of leaving Meng Yuzhi.
Chi Liuai understood now. She didn't understand where her bad words and speculations about Meng Yuzhi came from. She even unscrupulously exhausted Meng Yuzhi's patience. She didn't even dare to say a word to Lin Zhun about some of her farewell wishes, but Meng Yuzhi could do it.
It was because Meng Yuzhi was too domineering towards her.
So she is angry?
No, it’s Chi Liuai who will not be kept by Meng Yuzhi.
Something that even Lin Zhun couldn't do.
Meng Yuzhi will always find Chi Liuai.
This time is no exception.
Meng Yuzhi placed his palm quietly on Chi Liuai's lower abdomen. If Chi Liuai cried too much, she would get stomach problems.
This reminded him of the time when she mistakenly thought she was pregnant and was so scared that she stayed alone and refused to eat or drink.
At this moment, Chi Liuai was pregnant with another man's child and was crying in his arms.
Meng Yuzhi felt a little uncomfortable.
Chi Liuai also felt bad. The guilt was not from being criticized, but from realizing that he had indeed hurt the other person, and more importantly, from fear.
This is no different from meeting your parents after being away for three years and suddenly telling them that you are pregnant.
Chi Liuai knew that he would be criticized, taught a lesson, and corrected, but it didn't matter.
Meng Yuzhi hugged Chi Liuai tighter.
Chi Liuai buried her head in Meng Yuzhi's chest. It was already dark, and her vision was also dark.
Meng Yuzhi suddenly asked, "Is pregnancy uncomfortable?"
Without waiting for Chi Liuai to answer.
Meng Yuzhi said, "It was quite dark the night I left you in the study."
Chi Liuai's eyes were red. Meng Yuzhi always liked to act calm when he was around. There were some things he didn't like to say out loud, but he kept them in his heart. Chi Liuai deepened the embrace, relying on Meng Yuzhi very much, and slowly told Meng Yuzhi.
"I know everything, no need to apologize to me."
Meng Yuzhi paused and asked, "Know what?"
I know you love me. When you came to me, I knew you loved me.
The night I escaped from He Jinze, I saw the proposal ceremony on the big screen, and then I understood why I could get used to being with him, a person with a temperament so different from my brother's. Because when he was angry, he looked too much like you, but I didn't like to make him angry, it was meaningless.
So that night was not an escape, but an attempt to find you.
But Meng Yuzhi lost his memory and forgot about me. I am very sad and always feel that you will have to pay a price for this.
I didn't expect that you could still fall in love with me.
I didn't expect that as long as I met you, I would know where I should go.
Meng Yuzhi, you are really too much. Even if I bully you and betray you, you still care about your brother in your heart. Maybe many of my shortcomings cannot be changed. I still like the frown on your face when you are helpless, I like your warm palms, I like your scars, and I like to ask for things from you, even if I can't give you any sincerity.
"You'll pat my head like I hold a puppy and continue to love me."
I learned to love the puppy the same way you loved me, so I would hug it without hesitation in front of He Jinze.
Meng Yuzhi nodded and looked out the window.
Night fell, and it was very similar to the night when Chi Liuai secretly looked for Lin Zhun.
Once again, Meng Yuzhi knew her temper, but still brought her to his side. There was no so-called passionate fight for love. Chi Liuai knew it, and Meng Yuzhi also knew it. After the two met, they were each other, even if they let some people down, there was nothing they could do about it.
Meng Yuzhi still couldn't get over Chi Liuai's choice for He Jinze.
I still won't blame the child.
Chi Liuai would ask: "Why did you come to see me?"
Meng Yuzhi lowered his gaze, his tone soft and gentle.
"Didn't you say that?"
"If you come back late, I will wait for you."
"You'll just be walking slower than everyone else, but you'll get home."
Meng Yuzhi could smell his scent on Chi Liuai, with a crisp woody aftertaste.
Chi Liuai seemed to have grown a few years older.
This is what raising a child is like. Watch her get into trouble, lose her temper, grow in ability, and learn to be more understanding of you through all the twists and turns.
That's enough.
——End of the full text——
(Extra story to fill in the gaps)
-----------------------
The author has something to say: This ending was rewritten for the fourth time, and the later part deviated from the original outline, especially the ending setting.
For example, Meng Yuzhi will have several fierce conflicts with He Jinze. As expected, Chi Liuai appears in front of Meng Yuzhi with bruises all over her body. She learns the lesson she should receive under the rules of the outside society, realizes that she has made mistakes, and chases her husband to admit her mistakes.
But as I wrote on, I felt a little reluctant to let it go, and it was also out of selfish motives. I didn't think Liu'ai had done anything wrong.
Compared to Chi Liuai's growth, Meng Yuzhi was afraid that she would suffer, even a little bit of external harm. If Chi Liuai returned to Meng Yuzhi with bruises all over her body, Meng Yuzhi would not be Chi Liuai's male protagonist.
Meng Yuzhi is the most stern father to Chi Liuai, who is reluctant to use his hands. He Jinze will get angry and secretly choose not to use contraception and verbally insult her. Lin Zhun will choose to stay or leave for Chi Liuai. Meng Yuzhi is quite selfish. He knows that he loves Chi Liuai, so he chooses not to let Chi Liuai leave his side. Even if he makes mistakes and she makes mistakes, they will solve problems behind closed doors. They can't fight Meng Yuzhi, especially Meng Yuzhi after he has gained Chi Liuai's favor.
Liuai is a little girl with a strong sense of self-awareness. In my imagination, she is a fragile seed.
I drifted to the grassy plains, but was too lazy to take root in the soil. Fortunately, I was sheltered by a tree from the wind and rain. However, after a few days, the tree said, "You can't rely on me. You have to grow up."
Chi Liuai was abandoned.
Then, she saw that the seeds around her had already taken root, sprouted, and grown vigorously. She was curious about where everyone would go in the future and whether they would leave her.
They told Chi Liuai about their dreams of crossing mountains and rivers.
Only then did Chi Liuai see clearly that there was a huge mountain in front of her.
Chi Liuai also wanted to see the scenery behind the mountain.
But she was ridiculed for not working hard, not having talent, and being a lazy and fragile bad seed. Chi Liuai was so angry that she burst into tears, so when everyone was successful.
I said to a really, really, really big mountain, "I want to see the scenery behind. Can you please move aside? Otherwise, I won't be able to forgive you for blocking me."
Gao Shan was silent for a moment and said, "Okay."
It was clearly the mountain that blocked my vision. Don't blame me for being weak. I should first argue with the mountain and make him apologize.
Only when I have seen it, I will know what I want, and then I will grow up.
Because of this, I later deleted a large portion of the scenes where Chi Liuai suffered hardships and grievances. He Jinze's so-called retribution was because he really wanted Chi Liuai to be hurt, realize that what she did was wrong, and then turn over a new leaf. But Meng Yuzhi didn't think so, and he wouldn't be too harsh on Chi Liuai. Lin Zhun didn't think Chi Liuai was wrong from beginning to end, and it was just their bad luck.
There will be many holes that have not been filled, such as He Jinze's feelings, pregnancy, and especially Lin Zhun's story line, which will be filled in the extra chapters after marriage.
It was probably a trivial matter that no one gave up on, trying to pry Meng Yuzhi's corner and begging Meng Yuzhi to die quickly.
