Chapter 37: Using the Pangen to Clash
Chen Hui's lies were too far-fetched.
He didn't know what impression the people around him had of Chi Liuai. On dark moonlit nights, he looked out the car window, always mistakenly thinking of Chi Liuai as the grass climbing the wall to absorb nutrients, weak and stubborn. As her provider, he knew she would do everything in her power to stay by Mr. Meng's side.
He said, "Mr. Meng said he would accompany you to the Chi family in two days."
Chi Liuai took down the wooden sign, tied her long hair into a bun, and wore a long gown and trousers, looking neat and clean. She had lost her old look and wanted to dress up as a golden butterfly, floating in front of everyone. Chi Liuai felt it was heavy and difficult, and she threw aside the jewelry that she treated as scrap metal.
It seems to have cleaned up everything.
About to move forward.
"So you also like to lie." Chi Liuai couldn't get out of this door after all.
Chen Hui smoked a cigarette outside the villa. The night was dark, and the bodyguards patrolling the Meng residence were swarming up and down the mountain, taking turns on duty. This prevented Chen Hui from returning home, and he needed Mr. Meng's presence. Having followed Mr. Meng for so long, he naturally understood the situation. He told this lie to his wife, who was dazed and stunned.
Get this answer.
Chen Hui lowered his head and said sorry.
Meng Yuzhi, who has never bothered to set foot in the Chi family, would accompany Chi Liuai to the Chi family to seek the truth after this newspaper, which had been published a long time ago, fell into her hands?
No matter how naive Chi Liuai was, he didn't believe it.
She was more inclined to believe that Meng Yuzhi had long known that she was not a child of the Chi family, and he did not want her to know. Chi Liuai could not figure out the reason behind this, and she did not want to think about it anymore.
The hot water boiled and accumulated, and Chi Liuai slowly slid down. The pressure on her chest shook and trembled, and there were ripples. She could no longer tell whether it was sweat or tears. She put her body in the hot water, leaving only her head to wake up for a moment.
The Chi family's attitude towards her was evident early on.
Since she was not Chi Huaiyuan's child, Chi Liuai didn't want to think about why he took her in; since he kept her and treated her harshly, Chi Liuai didn't want to think about it either; since they were both unrelated children of the Chi family, Chi Liuai didn't have the energy to care why Chi Baoyuan's favoritism didn't fall on her.
The past was like a dream, just like taking off clothes and changing clothes. After receiving the brief truth, Chi Liuai slowly walked upstairs and returned to the dressing room with a large floor-to-ceiling mirror. She took off her custom-made clothes. Although they fit comfortably, she had to pull them apart in a hurry. Her neck was scratched by the complicated jewelry. She took off and changed clothes while walking, and her steps were so light.
It turns out that everything is fake for no reason.
Mistakes for no reason.
Chi Liuai's mind was on the night she left home, just like now: the cold wind, the falling snow, the black cloth-covered sickle moon, everything like a sharp knife cutting mud. She suddenly had a family, they were very rich, her brother educated her, and she was going home to take what she deserved.
She doesn't want to.
Lin Zhun was serious but still gentle, saying that what was hers should not be given to others.
Well, then she goes to get it, to grab it, to ask for it.
It's too messy.
Chi Liuai was like a frightened bird, feeling a flash of pain in her bones and blood like an electric current. She stood up suddenly, and the water splashed out. She didn't care about sliding. Her skin was numb from the heat to the cold. She exhaled deeply, exhaling that breath from beginning to end.
His chest heaved.
She thought it through.
She just knew it.
Hearing that she was not a child of the Chi family, not Chi Huaiyuan's offspring, not Chi Cheng's sister, she did not have these family members——
Cool.
So comfortable.
She is clean.
If she really had the blood of this group of hypocritical people, Chi Liuai felt that she was extremely dirty and disgusting. She had to hide such a good thing. She wanted to beat the drums and tell others that she had nothing to do with the Chi family.
She knew how Chi Huaiyuan could give birth to such a good child like her.
And that Chi Cheng is not even qualified to be my brother.
This is what happened.
The Chi family has nothing to do with her, and the Chi family’s property has nothing to do with her. Lin Zhun’s reason for sending her away is completely invalid. If it’s not hers, what else does she want?
It’s time to pack up and go home.
Go back to my brother's home.
She was still holding an engagement with the Meng family. Chi Liuai paused, not knowing how to sort things out with Brother Yuzhi. She said to him, "I'm sorry for bothering you all this time. I'm not a child of the Chi family, so our engagement doesn't count. Please be merciful and waive the 30 million for me~"
Then he said pitifully: "Brother Yuzhi, you know, I don't even know who my mother is now."
Chi Liuai thought, wait for a while.
After Grandma He recovers, she can leave. Meng Yuzhi is not an unreasonable person.
Also, she wanted to spend some time with Meng Yuzhi.
Meng Yuzhi returned home.
Everything remains the same.
Slowly, Meng Yuzhi opened his eyes and realized where the child who was slowly leaning forward from the end of the bed came from. He was probably just waking up from a nightmare and came to his bedside as usual. He said softly that he couldn't sleep. It wasn't insomnia, but he was afraid of getting emotional and couldn't let go of the fear in his heart.
Now bolder, Meng Yuzhi placed his big hand on the top of her head.
It was the fragrance after taking a bath. The two of them had the same bath products for a long time. After so long, it turned out that Liu'ai's words were not lies. She really smelled like Meng Yuzhi.
The girl hesitated to speak.
"What do you want to say?" Meng Yuzhi asked.
He was familiar with the girl's thin breath, whispering in his ear: "Daddy, I may have found my mother."
Meng Yuzhi tilted his head back, his Adam's apple protruding and rolling. His throat was itchy and dry, and his urge to smoke came back. The girl helped him look for the cigarette box hidden in his clothes, and the metal zipper slid down and opened it.
"You've been so good today."
Meng Yu's hand reached out to touch her head again, but it was in vain. Lighting a cigar with his bare hands was unskillful; he hadn't touched a cigarette in ages. He couldn't inhale the flame thoroughly, nor could he extinguish it. He simply held it to his lips, puffing out the smoke.
Chi Liuai was so sleepy that she couldn't bear it any longer. She kept herself awake and said that she would go to find her biological parents tomorrow. She asked Meng Yuzhi to let her go and her brother would pick her up at the door.
Meng Yuzhi closed his eyes and covered the girl's head with his big hands. Since you are sleepy, just shut up.
Let’s just stay like this, together forever, never apart.
Finally, he ruthlessly put out the cigar in the ashtray and twisted it.
Meng Yuzhi suddenly opened his eyes——
The night is still night, and the bed is still bed.
Only Meng Yuzhi lowered his eyes and noticed that he was becoming more and more strange.
In the end, the dream was all in vain.
He didn't have any emotional fluctuations, as if everything was under control. Although the He family had married into the Meng family, and he carried He family blood, everyone knew that his nominal father was adopted. No one knew that he was He Wanbai's grandson. He and Liuai were a perfect match.
Meng Yuzhi strolled leisurely in the garden, went downstairs and picked up the cup.
There was no need to worry at all. If the He family really dared to acknowledge Liu Ai, they would naturally not dare to give her their true identity. Her mother was just an adopted daughter of the He family. He gave away two-thirds of the property to silence Mr. He and also supported He Jinze to inherit the family property. The He family had been clinging to the Meng family for a long time, and they were entangled with it. Naturally, they would not dare to make any more decisions about Liu Ai's marriage to him. If they said the word "□□"——
Pour water.
It was quiet all around.
At worst, He Wanbai stopped him. He took Chi Liuai abroad, changed his nationality, and packaged his identity for two years. No one in this world would know the three names of Chi Liuai anymore. Even if Liuai cried, he could coax her and spoil her. He would use the rest of his life and wealth to make up for the two years of leaving his hometown.
Meng Yuzhi's face showed no change of expression. All this was too easy for Mr. Meng, who had all the means.
He saw the main seat at the table, which was where Chi Liuai usually sat. She used to like to sit on his lap. It was not until the day Lin Zhun came that Meng Yuzhi realized that Chi Liuai's rules were different for different people.
Come quickly and leave cleanly.
If you want something, give it; if you don’t want something, break up.
She knew it was not the Chi family's child.
What is she thinking?
Chen Hui reported that he was crying. Meng Yuzhi smiled, leaving Chen Hui stunned.
Cry? Laughing, too much joy leads to sorrow
This heartless child would think again, since he is not the Chi family's child, I can just leave, and maybe even beg him to waive the compensation.
It doesn't matter. She is brave but not wise. Meng Yuzhi won't care if she rolls around a few times.
Meng Yuzhi's steps were still so steady as he walked from the main seat to the escalator corridor, but he suddenly realized that he had not put the cup back to its place.
Pah--
The cup instantly knocked over the main seat, and broken glass fragments scattered everywhere. Meng Yuzhi's hands and cuffs were stained with large wet marks. After taking a deep breath, his hands hung straight down, with water droplets on his fingertips, trembling slightly.
That day, he was so confused that he stirred the lips of Liu Ai and asked for the hot liquid on his hands.
He wants what Lin Zhun has, what Lin Zhun doesn't have, what no one else has, and Chi Liuai must give him.
Now, saliva has become a sin in our bones and blood.
Chi Liuai really gave Meng Yuzhi a surprise that no one else had.
very good.
Chi Liuai felt uneasy.
I saw some shadowy figures in the dim light and felt a little nervous.
When the warm palm touched her cheek, Chi Liuai rubbed it and called Meng Yuzhi's name very obediently. She felt pain when her face was pinched by the man's hand.
She asked a lot of questions, and Meng Yuzhi answered them patiently.
After a long time, Meng Yuzhi also asked Liuai why he wanted to go out.
"I don't want to think about it now." Chi Liuai was sleepy and dealt with it.
Meng Yuzhi asked: "Why?"
"It's too troublesome to go back and come back."
Meng Yuzhi asked, "Are you willing to come back?"
What is all this? Chi Liuai was extremely sleepy. She turned over, hugged Meng Yuzhi's arm, and dozed off.
"Yes, I promised you that I would go home before ten o'clock and wait for you at home."
Chi Liuai always does what he says.
The bedroom was quiet for a long time. Chi Liuai thought he was dreaming. He opened his eyes for less than three minutes and saw Meng Yuzhi maintaining the same posture, with no change in expression and no smile, just leaning over and looking at him.
Their eyes met, and there was a smile in Meng Yuzhi's eyes.
"Daddy, why are your hands wet?" Chi Liuai held the hand soaked by the shattered cup, pressing the warmth of her cheek against the wet spot. Meng Yuzhi's fingertips slowly stroked the girl's face, which was obviously cold, but he was willing to warm a worse place.
Meng Yuzhi read and thought, and seemed to have caught a trace of the feelings that girls also have.
"Help daddy, please."
Chi Liuai was very generous and helpful. After hearing this, she didn't care about the resentment of being confined at home. The thin layer of water was cleared away, and the soft touch made the scar on the back of Meng Yuzhi's hand begin to ache again. It was nurtured by the warm lips, moist water, and sharp teeth, and it nurtured and nurtured...
"Liuai, daddy doesn't know how to reward you."
A smile rose in Meng Yuzhi's chest.
Yes, that’s it, let’s keep making mistakes.
Always wait for daddy at home, okay?
Meng Yuzhi did not stay overnight and went back to his room.
On the balcony terrace, Meng Yuzhi's hand hung straight down, and the back of his hand contained everything that Liu'ai had given him. He untied his watch, where there were still teeth marks left by the girl. They healed quickly, and Meng Yuzhi tattooed the shape, which remained on his wrist bone forever.
The greenery outside flourished, especially the few inferior saplings, which were the most delightful. They were given to him by Liu'ai. They lacked the strength of the old trees, nor did they know how to use their roots to break through the soil and take root deeply. The moist mud clung to them, absorbing nutrients from each other and connecting them together. Meng Yuzhi repeatedly thought they would not survive.
Meng Yuzhi closed his eyes.
He once asked Chi Liuai how she nurtured the sapling, knowing it would never survive. Chi Liuai focused and said, "Maybe you loved it too much. The excess nutrients, the frequent loosening of the soil, and the perfect nurturing plan all made this frail sapling grow a withered heart." Meng Yuzhi wanted a towering tree, with strong roots digging into the soil, like a benefactor supporting it. He used the water in his hands to nourish the deep roots of the ancient tree, just like a girl used the love she often talked about, and used the liquid she watered to nourish the roots. By chance, the tree was able to survive. It turned out that cheap love can save people. It turned out that he also wanted...
Now, he and she have become brother and sister who are closer than Lin Zhun and her. Their upper teeth are touching their lower lips, and they keep calling him brother, brother, brother. Now he is also brother, brother. Since Liu'ai likes him, what's the difference between him and him? He can do the same.
What did Lin Zhun call Liu Ai? Liu Ai? Or, or.
Meng Yuzhi's pupils suddenly tightened.
His tongue touched his upper teeth, and he finally uttered the word "sister".
younger sister.
The red tooth mark tattoo had turned white. It was not Meng Yuzhi's fault. The tooth mark was as small as its owner. The sound of water came from the bathtub.
Finally, Meng Yuzhi stood on the balcony.
Gazing at the saplings in the courtyard that had survived the cold winter in the dark night, Chi Liuai had indeed allowed them to grow taller, but their branches and leaves had protruded from the protective fence, and he had forgotten to have them trimmed. Meng Yuzhi thought that he would take care of it himself tomorrow.
One phone call to arrange matters.
If all goes well, Chi Liuai will disappear from Hangzhou next week.
It’s okay, he will live with her in the American area for a few years, and she doesn’t need to worry about anything.
Also, it’s better not to see that brother.
