Standing at the door without going in immediately, looking at the painting style that was totally inconsistent with the iron table and iron chairs fixed to the ground, Gou An lowered his eyes and stared at the distracted man in a corner of the room. A huge question mark popped up in his head.
——What is this person doing here!
At this moment, perhaps sensing her arrival, the man who was originally distracted regained focus, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced over calmly.
Gou An's scalp suddenly felt numb.
Perhaps because He Jinxing played such an important role and spoke such important lines in the incident of being forced into the police car, Gou An had a natural fear of this person. When he looked at her, she felt the blood in her body flowing backwards -
The person in charge of He's group, Lu Wan's husband, and the owner of 49% of Gou's shares.
Each of the above titles alone is enough to make Gou An's stomach churn and make him want to vomit.
"sit."
The man's voice was low and slow, and no emotion could be heard.
He had no intention of explaining why he appeared here. He just looked at Gou An through the door.
Until she walked into the visiting room with her head down and looked a little stiff, and sat down opposite him, face to face.
Although his butt was only touching one-third of the chair, he looked like he wanted to escape at any time.
"What happened to your hair?"
An irrelevant question, probably asking her why her hair looked like it was bitten by a dog.
Gou An shrank his shoulders and opened his eyes wide, like a frightened bird. He immediately turned around to look at the prison guard behind him - his almond-shaped eyes flickered, and he was actually seeking a sense of security from the prison guard.
He Jinxing's eyes sank slightly without any expression. He had just asked casually, but now his dark pupils were gloomy... as if a gust of wind suddenly blew up from the calm sea, and the waves became turbulent.
The expression on the man's face showed that he would not allow her to get away with it by keeping silent.
Gou An habitually rubbed the thin calluses on her fingers. This thing could always remind her of the consequences of her bad intentions when she had any evil thoughts or selfish desires.
How did you do your hair?
Probably because she had an argument with someone half a year ago, and that person pressed her head on the sewing machine and said he was going to sew her mouth shut. In a rage, she used the sewing machine and ran over that person's finger.
Unexpectedly, because there was no active provocation, he was only given a verbal warning and criticism.
The only price she paid was that a month later, she was blocked by several people, pinned to the ground and had a large clump of her hair cut off.
Fortunately, the prison guard discovered it early and only cut off a handful of her hair, at least not all of it.
Pursing her lips, she could not bear to recall the past, so she could only say briefly: "I did it accidentally."
What a perfunctory answer.
As she spoke, she looked up at the man sitting opposite her in confusion: Isn't your son in the hospital? Your own son's life is hanging by a thread, but you don't care about him, and you come to the prison to take care of my hair? She was puzzled -
Then suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he remembered that day when a lackey in the prison read the domineering president novel he wrote to Lin Xia during the exercise.
In the novel, the heroine is extremely miserable. Because she has panda blood, she is abused physically and mentally by the hero in the beginning, and she has to donate her panda blood to the hero's white moonlight female supporting role every month. Later, the situation evolves to the point where the heroine is pregnant with the hero's child, and she has to donate a kidney to the female supporting role . At that time, Gou An laughed at this novel and said it was fucking ridiculous. He also questioned the author, "Are you writing a novel or doing some alternative disco on the Criminal Law? Why are the three legal education science classes a week of no use to you?"
Gou An: “…”
Now she couldn't laugh.
Things like "The son of the person I love is in trouble, please give me your kidney" suddenly don't seem so outrageous when it happens to He Jinxing.
Sitting on the chair, Gou An's buttocks changed from one-third touching the chair to 0.5 of one-third in an instant. She leaned forward, touching her kidneys while posing as if she wanted to run away.
He Jinxing lowered his long legs that were originally crossed.
He looked her up and down and raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong with you?"
Gou An: “…”
Gou An: "Mr. He, what can I do for you?"
What the hell is going on? Just tell me and stop scaring me. I only get a few visits a month and you wasted one of them. If I had known it was you, you would have taken down the door of my cell and I wouldn’t even step out of the room. What on earth are you doing? Are you sick? Are you sick? ! ! !
"Don't look at me like that. This visit is a special appointment and will not be counted towards your number of visits this month."
It's like he can read minds.
Just a simple sentence, said in such a calm and natural tone, the girl sitting opposite me saw her tense shoulders relax a little...
Of course, just some.
He Jinxing looked at the person in front of him and found that she was not in a good mood.
Her bangs were too long, and her skin was so pale that it was almost transparent, probably because she rarely saw the sun.
She had lost a lot of weight, and the prisoner's clothes looked like a sack on her.
——It has almost nothing to do with "health".
The look in her eyes when she looked at him could almost be described as full of bitterness and hatred. Of course, in her opinion, he was the culprit who sent her to prison.
He Jinxing actually felt a little wronged. After all, this matter had nothing to do with him from the beginning to the end. It was she who was crazy and wanted to cause trouble.
And before that, he had clearly turned a blind eye and let her off when he drugged her on the cruise ship.
"Isn't the food in prison very good?"
The person in front of me once had an engagement with a younger generation in the family. Although it was later cancelled, I couldn't help but still use the tone of speaking to a younger generation.
Seeing the other person's eyelids twitching visibly, He Jinxing realized that he seemed to have asked a nonsense question.
He chuckled with an ambiguous tone, changed his sitting position, and finally asked his purpose today: "It's not impossible to overturn your case. Have you ever thought about getting out of prison early?"
As expected.
The lifeless person sitting opposite him suddenly looked up at him upon hearing his words. His dark brown eyes suddenly shone with an unusually dazzling look, as if a door suddenly opened in front of a starving and cold stray cat in the yard, with clean purified water and fresh canned food inside the door, and the stray cat suddenly regained its vitality.
The curve of He Jinxing's lips became bigger.
But soon, he found that the light in her eyes quickly faded.
"What's the price?"
"Um?"
In the man's puzzled monosyllable question, Gou An's voice was cold. She blinked and licked her dry lips with the tip of her tongue. She didn't notice that the other person's eyes fell on her lips almost at the same time. She said to herself: "I have been in prison for a year and a half. I may not have learned anything, but I suddenly realized a truth: there is no free lunch in the world..."
"so."
After a pause, she raised her eyelids. Her long eyelashes trembled, and she was surprised that one day she would be able to negotiate face to face with the person in charge of the He family.
How can she be so virtuous and competent as to live in peace?
"What will it cost me?"
She must have decided that this person had bad intentions.
The devil never smiles at anyone casually.
He Jinxing raised his eyebrows at such a straightforward question.
"Gou An, as the only daughter of the Gou family, it's time for you to fulfill the marriage contract between the Gou family and the He family. It's not difficult to get you out. Now I give you two choices-"
Don’t choose the one that wants to have your kidney removed, the other one is the correct answer.
"The first option is that my brother's son will be returning to China in the near future. His name is He Yuan. Although he has an ordinary appearance and is only a little over 1.7 meters tall, he went abroad at a very young age and therefore doesn't speak Chinese very well... But in the final analysis, he is the child of our He family. As his uncle, there is no reason for me not to worry about his marriage."
On the other hand, Gou An is pretty, pampered, good at studying, a little extreme in her mind but at least her IQ is superior to many people, and her family is clean (she herself is the least clean one)...
In the past, she would never consider someone like He Yuan who had no merits at all.
However, today is different from the past.
Gou An listened to the man sitting opposite him saying, "If you marry into the He family, you are still my junior. The He family will not ignore you and will do their best to help you out of this predicament."
The hands on his legs unconsciously clenched into fists, tightly grasping the prison uniform that had long been washed and turned white. A strong feeling of humiliation came over him.
But she knew that this was probably her best choice.
Become a scrap, marry an ignored scrap of the He family, complete the grievances and hatreds of the previous generation, go abroad or disappear from the record, in a place that is not a prison, at least ensure that you are well fed and well clothed and live your life quietly.
Mom and Dad don't need to worry about her anymore, she can go abroad to continue studying her favorite major and retake a degree exam.
Gou An thought a lot, and after a long time, she nodded, her throat rolling with difficulty, and she said, "I accept it."
Unexpectedly, the man sitting opposite looked at her and said, "Huh?" "Don't you want to hear the second option?"
"No, I said, I'll take it—"
"?"
"Being with He Yuan might not be a bad idea, but you should have heard that his status in the He family is not as good as He Ran's, and now He Ran hates you so much," He Jinxing said with an ambiguous and sarcastic chuckle, "It's hard to say that he won't interfere in the process of overturning your case... Things will become a little troublesome at that time, but even so, the engagement will not be cancelled. It's very likely that you will lose both the wife and the army, right?"
"…So what about the second option?"
"Wait until I complete the process this month, divide the property, and get a divorce, then marry me."
The man's fingertips lazily flicked the button pressed under his fingertips.
"The wife of the man in charge of the He family should not be in prison anywhere. You will be released from prison as quickly as possible."
Gou An's mind went blank for three seconds.
She watched He Jinxing's lips opening and closing, and realized that she had no idea what this man was talking about at this moment.
Or she was hallucinating.
Or he's crazy.
"I won't be fooled. Your son is still in the hospital. Divorce?"
"son?"
"?"
"Not mine."
"How is that possible?"
"How is it impossible?" The man paused, "Or do you really want to be a stepmother?"
"... Be serious, are you trying to use this as a pretext to trick me into donating one of my organs to you?"
If Gou An thought that he had no shame, then he could also not have it either——
Anyway, it has come to this. In prison, it can’t be any more miserable…
Come and kill her if you dare.
"I have done bad things, but the law has punished me. I am not living well in prison. I can't eat enough, I can't sleep well, I have nightmares, and I am worried that my parents will fall because of me... I deserve it, but I have been punished. He Jinxing, I don't owe you anything, nor do I owe Lu Wan. So no matter whether you are dead or alive, you have nothing to do with me from now on, and you can't expect to get any benefits from me! I don't know what you are up to. Someone may rush to add bricks and tiles to your epic love, but I tell you clearly that that person will never be me!"
He said it in one breath, gasping softly because he was too excited.
Her pale face was stained with a sickly blush. She had stood up, with both hands on the table. A stray cat had aroused its feline instinct because of being attacked.
Now it's more like a leopard, extending its claws.
He Jinxing patiently listened to her series of passionate speeches, and his emotionless eyes fell on her cheek again.
He paused, waiting for her breathing to even out, and asked calmly, "Are you done?"
“…”
"Too many fantasies."
Gou An was stunned.
"Who wants your kidney after reading too many novels?"
His words were full of playful absurdity and lacked any warmth, but they didn't sound false.
Even Gou An was confused in an instant: What exactly did he want to do? "I just want to tell you that by marrying me, you can avoid a lot of trouble."
"I'm just telling you that by marrying me, you could have avoided a lot of trouble."
It was as if Thor's hammer was smashing down beside my ears, sending sparks flying and making my head dizzy.
Gou An jumped up from the bed, breathing rapidly and turned to look out the window. It was daybreak, the street lights were still on, and the villa area was immersed in the early winter mist.
In the night, sitting in the middle of the soft and fragrant bed, the young lady had a new thought -
About marriage.
She may be a person without moral integrity, or there may be something wrong with her family education. Her parents seem to have a good relationship, but she always separates marriage from love...
Just like whether it is the vicious female supporting role in the original novel or Gou An in reality, they both calmly accepted the fact that their fiancé and childhood sweetheart is a teammate, but they may like someone else.
The confused Miss Gou has her own understanding of life, which may not be correct, but she always believes that love cannot be eaten, life must go on, if tomorrow will definitely come step by step, then why can't we choose a path that makes it easier for ourselves? - It's good to lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade.
After washing up casually, Gou An put on his coat and opened the door. The bodyguard turned his head as usual, and the two of them looked at each other in the empty corridor.
This person should never have appeared when the vicious female supporting character Gou An was in jail.
——Why cling to a disloyal crooked bush?
Gou An moved her lips, but Ye Lang spoke first before her: "When the street lights go out, I will leave."
I thought she was going to chase him away again.
But this time she just said lightly "It's up to you" and turned to walk out. Ye Lang was stunned when he heard that. After a few seconds, he looked at the sky outside which was not yet completely bright, and simply followed her.
No one knew why she went out so early, not even herself.
She had just crawled out of the soft and fragrant bed, but for some reason, she looked like a panicked and helpless little thing in the morning dew. She squatted under a street lamp on a must-pass road in the community, and finally squatted under He Jinxing who was jogging in the morning.
The man in his morning jogging outfit was startled by her.
"An'an?"
He raised an eyebrow.
That face overlapped perfectly with the face in the dream that pointed out expressionlessly that she was "fantasizing too much."
Gou An swallowed his saliva, and stood up from his curled up position like a mushroom growing and stretching out under the street light, staring at the man in front of him with his round eyes.
"Well." She licked her upper lip with the tip of her tongue and swallowed her saliva. "Let me ask you something."
"What?"
"If we really have an engagement, will you always protect me? Not just educate me? Of course verbal education is fine, but don't make a big fuss. What I want is unconditional and without limits."
Be selfish.
It's a trap.
I don't know why, but I got some inspiration from the original novel. The person in front of me doesn't keep his promise.
Gou An looked up at him, his eyes full of anticipation.
He Jinxing didn't know what she was talking about, but being looked at like that, his reason probably easily ran away from home, so before he realized what she was saying, he nodded, "If there really comes a day, it will be my duty to take care of you."
Even if the questions you ask make people think you want to take a detour and be forgiven -
But I won't let that day pass by like this.
She is He Jinxing's fiancée. Why should life take a detour? You can get whatever you want.
So there is no need to take a detour.
"Will you keep watching me?"
"I'll always be watching you."
"That--"
He looked at her and saw her swallowing nervously and silently, her hands clenched slightly.
"I thought about it yesterday, and your suggestion is actually not impossible."
"?"
"We get married."
"???"
The mist on the horizon dissipated a little, and a not-so-bright red sun slowly rose from the other side of the mountain...
He Jinxing turned around to take a look.
Make sure the sun does not rise in the west.
