Chapter 1247 The moon cannot live without the sky, and even the most vigorous weeds need nutrients from the soil
He Tian tried his best to persuade and convince Li Jinxing.
Some of these words were planned by him at the beginning, but after he said them, he was moved by emotion and spoke more and more.
He used to stand in Li Jinxing's perspective and thought that Gu Wanqiu was a big sinner. Now he looked at their past ten years from the perspective of an outsider: they had been apart for ten years and together for eleven years.
One of them is 32 years old.
One of them is thirty-three years old.
Both of them were at fault, and it was definitely not Gu Wanqiu alone who had brought about this situation.
If Li Jinxing had not changed the DNA test report of Gu Wanqiu and Gu Chaodong in revenge, Gu Wanqiu would not have wanted to leave.
As soon as she disappeared, Gu Chaodong drove to look for her, but had an accident on the way.
What caused the car accident? It might be because it was too foggy that day, the road was too slippery, and it was raining.
Of course, it's not ruled out that it's the medicine he takes every night...
After Gu Chaodong's death, Li Jinxing took over the Gu Group. A year later, he found Gu Wanqiu and brought her back to Haicheng.
Gu Wanqiu was stunningly beautiful at that time. The title of a caged bird did not suit her face. At worst, she was a canary. In Li Jinxing's eyes, Gu Wanqiu was his moon, otherwise he would not have given her a "moon" wedding dress when they got engaged.
He hated the moon for suddenly illuminating his dark world, yet hanging high in the sky doing nothing.
But he longed for the beautiful light of the moon. He wanted a moon that belonged to him alone, a light that only shone on him.
To be more precise, out of his own selfish desire, he wanted to make the light that did not belong to him his own.
But in fact, the moon and the light were all his imagination. An incomplete childhood made Li Jinxing want to be redeemed and have a complete home. At that time, the only person closest to him was Gu Wanqiu, so he imagined Gu Wanqiu as the light that could redeem him and pull him out of the abyss.
His twisted mentality made him slowly fall in love with the woman who hurt him.
He said that he wanted to torture Gu Wanqiu and that letting her go would be a relief for her, but in fact, he still... couldn't bear to do it.
…
The people who know Li Jinxing best are those closest to him, such as Zhou Yi and He Tian, who have known him for more than ten years.
He Tian said so much, it was impossible for him not to react at all.
He Tian seemed to dig out the ugliest side of his heart and put it in front of him, forcing him to look at it and admit it.
He volunteered to be a dog, he deserved it, he was no different from Gu Wanqiu, birds of a feather flock together, they were both selfish people who would do anything to achieve their goals.
He scolded Gu Wanqiu for taking advantage of two innocent children.
Hadn't he used the two children to get close to Gu Wanqiu? Even locking Siyan in the basement for a whole night was all he did to make Gu Wanqiu regret it and fall into self-condemnation.
"You really don't need to continue to retaliate against her. There will be no good results... Boss, please listen to my advice and let her go. Get out of here as far as possible. Without the protection of you and Gong Qing, and without the man to rely on, she won't even be able to take care of herself in the world. You don't need to do anything yourself. Her end will be miserable, and you don't need to hide it from the two children.
How did you get by without her for those five years? How are you and your family getting by now?
It's just that Gu Wanqiu is gone, life goes on as usual. In my opinion, this is the most correct track. Letting her go is also letting yourself go... You can't be entangled with her forever..."
A lifetime. The funny thing is that after so many things happened, Li Jinxing still wanted to be with Gu Wanqiu for the rest of his life. Even if they would never be happy, entangled and tortured each other, he still wanted to be with her for the rest of his life, and no one would let the other go.
He was in great pain. When he was with Gu Wanqiu, he was rarely happy and tested her cautiously. Even when they were together normally, he tried his best to obey her for fear of making her unhappy.
After meeting Gu Wanqiu, he no longer loves someone normally.
"I've already said this much. Tell me what you really think. Don't play dumb." He said everything he should and shouldn't say this time. Although he usually talks a lot, he has never said so much at once as he did today.
"I know everything you said..." Li Jinxing, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke. The moment he raised his eyes, his expression changed. He pressed his tongue against his upper gums, and pressed his emotions and saliva down to his Adam's apple, trying to calm the restless emotions in his heart.
"What if... I say, I still can't let her go?"
He Tian had anticipated Li Jinxing's response. If Li Jinxing could be convinced by just these few words, he would not have been stuck in it for twenty years.
"Are you reluctant to part with her?"
Li Jinxing did not answer He Tian's words. He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the kite that fell to the ground in the distance.
It rained last night, and the kite that Siyan tied to the tree finally couldn't withstand the wind and rain, and the string broke and fell into the mud pit. The kite with an eagle pattern printed on it was covered with mud and water, and became tattered.
"I used to think of Gu Wanqiu as the moon in the sky, but in reality, she's just the mud on the ground, and I... am just a weed... The greatest advantage of a weed is its tenacious vitality, but it also needs roots in the mud to survive."
There's nothing I'm reluctant to do, it's just that I'm not used to life without her.
Just when He Tian thought that Li Jinxing was still stubborn and didn't intend to let go of Gu Wanqiu and himself.
Li Jinxing changed the subject, "He Tian... Thank you for thinking so much about me. You're right. Life would go on just fine with or without her. Didn't I live well during those ten years? I'll think carefully about everything you said. No one can explain matters of the heart. Perhaps the deep resentment overwhelmed the destiny, or perhaps it was just that the destiny was too shallow..."
He Tian felt a lump in his throat. Li Jinxing had taken his words to heart, so he should have been happy. But for some reason, he felt a sour feeling in his heart, which turned into bitterness when it reached his throat.
"I'll go see Siyan." He Tian was still worried. Although Li Jinxing said that he would think about it carefully, he was still worried about his paranoid and abnormal psychology.
Therefore, he planned to use Si Yan to let Si Yan know all the truth. This might hurt him, but he had no other choice. This was the best solution he could think of so far.
I only told Siyan and hid it from Sixu. First, as an older brother, Siyan can withstand it more easily. Second, it is better to hurt one child than two. In order to take care of Sixu's heart, Siyan probably won't tell anyone.
"He's on the third floor. You go. I won't go. He should be afraid to see me now."
"What did you do to him? Will he be afraid of you?" He Tian received the news yesterday. He only knew that Gu Wanqiu jumped out of the window and one leg was torn in three places, but he didn't know what Si Yan had experienced and what Li Jinxing had done to the two children.
I'm afraid it's not that simple, otherwise Sixu, who has always been proud of his strict behavior, would not be so afraid of him.
Besides, Siyan has always been in good health, and it only took one night for him to lie down and receive an IV drip... What on earth did Siyan go through that night?
"Si Yan stole the key to open the window for Gu Wan Qiu, who then jumped out. In order to make him realize the seriousness of the situation and admit his mistake, I locked him up in the basement for a night."
"What? Why did you lock him in the basement? He's only six years old." Even He Tian found it outrageous.
Now that he has calmed down completely, Li Jinxing also knows that he was impulsive yesterday. If He Tian was here last night, he could have stopped him.
"Si Yan shouldn't have stolen the key, but his original intention was to make his mother happy, it's that simple. You didn't tell them anything, so how could he think so much? And you knew that it was Gu Wanqiu who took advantage of his kindness, but you still chose to punish him in such a harsh way. Is the basement a place for people to stay? It's so dark and cold." It would be strange if he didn't get sick.
Li Jinxing is too cruel.
In the end, innocent children were implicated.
"I've already done it. If I don't do this, will he learn his lesson? After this, even if Si Yan and Si Xu want to help Gu Wanqiu, they have to carefully consider the consequences..." He did not admit his mistake.
"In addition to the two children, Gu Wanqiu also received a corresponding price. She is always afraid of pain and forgets it. So this time, I will make her suffer more and longer, so that she will never dare to take advantage of the two children again."
Li Jinxing's tone when speaking was relatively calm, but when taken individually, every word was filled with murderous intent.
He Tian supported himself on the desk with his hands: "What did you do to her?"
Gu Wanqiu's leg was broken in three places, and her body was still poisoned. She had endured it for a long time, and he didn't want Li Jinxing to do anything to Gu Wanqiu again.
That woman was now like a candle in the wind, unable to withstand any tossing. He was really afraid that before Gu Wanqiu could leave here, she would have died of poisoning.
Just thinking about that scene made his hair stand on end.
Li Jinxing is crazy enough now... If Gu Wanqiu died here, and he knew that the person who detoxified him was the one who sacrificed his life for Gu Wanqiu's, he would only be crazier than he is now!
"I didn't do anything. I just told the doctor not to worry about her. She jumped out of the window on her own. Even if she becomes disabled, it's what she deserves."
"You won't let the doctor treat her leg? Isn't she in very poor health? Can she make it?"
"She woke up this morning and is in great spirits. She has also recovered her memory..." Gu Wanqiu's words flashed through his mind. Li Jinxing lowered his eyes, expressionless. "I think she doesn't even need painkillers anymore, so I asked the doctor to stop them this morning. No one is allowed to see her today."
What a great suffering that would be! He Tian felt cold and uneasy, as if his back was pierced by thorns. Just by listening to what Li Jinxing said, his hair stood on end.
The toxin in Gu Wanqiu's body is in its early stages, which is enough to make people vomit blood in pain. Now with the injuries from jumping out of the window, even he can't survive it, so how can Gu Wanqiu survive?
Li Jinxing's words of "being in good spirits" were probably just a flash of life.
He Tian looked at Li Jinxing and said that he cared about Gu Wanqiu...but he was so cruel to her. He said that he didn't care, and he himself said that he couldn't bear to leave her.
He Tian looked at him for two seconds, frowned, and said nothing.
"Aren't you going to see Siyan? Go ahead, he might be awake by now."
He Tian hummed. He could clearly feel a depressing atmosphere here. Whether it was Li Jinxing or the people working in the villa, their faces seemed to be covered with a mask.
Such a big house, so many people, but it is hard to feel the warmth of human nature.
Even He Tian didn't want to stay in such a place for long, let alone Si Yan, Si Xu and the others.
It wasn't like this when I came here before.
He Tian turned around and was about to leave when Li Jinxing suddenly said, "I don't know if it's my illusion, but I feel like you're a little concerned about Gu Wanqiu now." In the past, He Tian couldn't stand Gu Wanqiu and seemed to wish she would die sooner.
But today... no, recently, He Tian has taken the initiative to ask about Gu Wanqiu too many times.
He Tian's heart skipped a beat. He seemed to hear the sound of his own heartbeat accelerating. "No, I care most about Si Yan and Si Xu. Now there's Xiao Sui. I just don't want to see the three children become like us."
He Tian and Li Jinxing had the same experience. Both of them experienced domestic violence, but it was his mother who abused He Tian.
The grudge between the parents involved an innocent child. Before, he thought Si Yan and Si Xu were living a happy life, but now, he saw his own shadow in them... the self he was about to forget.
Si Yan and Si Xu were his children who grew up under his care, and he didn't want the two children to become victims of their parents' feelings.
After saying this, He Tian left without looking back. This time, Li Jinxing did not call him again.
At this moment, He Tian had no idea what Li Jinxing was thinking or what expression was on his face.
He now needs to give Li Jinxing some time to think quietly. If he still has some conscience, still wants to be a qualified father, and still has some fatherly love for his two children, then he should know what choice he should make.
Please don't let me down.
No matter what, Li Jinxing was someone he had admired for so many years, and he didn't want Li Jinxing to become the type of person he hated the most.
He Tian went straight to the third floor to see Siyan. Siyan was still asleep with an abnormal blush on her face and dry lips. She looked like a frosted eggplant, wilted.
The medicine is still being infused, but it's flowing very slowly. There's not much left, and it's expected to be finished in ten minutes.
He Tian walked over, stood at the head of the bed, touched Si Yan's forehead, and found that the fever had subsided.
With just this touch, Si Yan woke up. The moment he opened his eyes, there was obvious fear in his eyes. After seeing that it was He Tian, the fear in his eyes slowly dissipated.
"Uncle He...Uncle He..." Si Yan's voice was extremely hoarse, as if it contained sand and dust. Every time he spoke, his throat felt sore from the grinding. Even swallowing saliva was painful.
"Your voice is hoarse, so don't talk too much. Are you thirsty now? If you want to drink some water, just nod your head."
Siyan nodded.
He Tian took a cup to collect water, tested the temperature, and then brought it to Siyan's mouth.
Siyan just had a cold, he was not disabled and could move. It was just that his body felt a little weak after the fever, and it took him a while to sit up and lean against the head of the bed.
