Chapter 39: You can admit your mistake even though the truth is revealed?
When he heard someone shouting "Qi Fang", Qi Fang lost consciousness and turned around.
But he looked around and didn't see anyone looking at him. He guessed that he must have heard it wrong, so he scratched his head and turned back.
On the other side, Qi Fang frowned when he heard it.
Although he had no contact with them, he had a good memory and could remember the voices of almost all the young girls in the forest farm.
But he had no impression of this sweet and delicate dish, and when he looked at the face again, it was also a completely unfamiliar one.
The young woman looked slightly older than Yan Xue, with large eyes and fair skin. She wore two braided pigtails and a green military uniform with a red armband on her left arm. She must have been exhausted from the journey; even after careful grooming, her clothes were still a little wrinkled. She was clutching a bag tightly in her arms.
Qi Fang didn't move with his back to the person, his voice was cold, "What's the matter?"
The completely unfamiliar tone and manner of speaking, even a hint of impatience in the words, made the young girl, who had just shown her excitement, pause for a moment. "You don't remember me?"
Should he remember her?
Qi Fang frowned and said nothing.
Yan Xue, on the other hand, poked her head out from his back and looked at the girl. "Do you know her?"
"I don't know any of them." Qi Fang answered firmly, and even added in a cold voice: "I don't know any lesbians."
She said this as if she knew a lot of gay men. Yan Xue pushed him and said, "Put me down. They might really want to see you for something."
Qi Fang didn't move, just looked at the person with a cold and handsome face, "If you have something to say, tell me. If not, we'll leave."
He was in the same bad condition as when Yan Xue first saw him on the mountain, the only difference was that Yan Xue had changed from the one opposite him to the one on his back.
But the girl opposite had a good temper. Even though Qi Fang was so ruthless, she didn't show any embarrassment.
Miss Yan certainly would not show any embarrassment, because she had already experienced more embarrassing things in the book in her dream.
At that time, her father and husband were under investigation, and her happy family was suddenly in turmoil. After making inquiries from many sources, she found out that it was Qi Fang who did it.
At that time, she almost forgot that there was such a person, and forgot that she had broken off a child marriage in the first few years of the turmoil.
She had lost all memory of him, vaguely remembering him as a rather dull person, quiet and reserved, always fiddling with his messy things. Later, at fourteen, he was admitted to university and was widely praised. Her parents even asked her to write him a letter, but his reply was equally uninteresting.
Who would have thought that such a person, who had stayed in the mountains for more than ten years, could crawl back to the city and build the nationally famous Changqing Heavy Industry.
Who would have thought that the heavy engineering machinery produced by his private enterprise could surpass all state-owned enterprises, whether it was cranes or tractors.
Who could have imagined that a small break-off of an engagement would bring devastating disaster to her family...
Miss Yan had never suffered in her life. She had been angry and resentful, but in the end she bowed her head and begged for mercy from the person she had only met once.
She prepared herself mentally and even put on makeup, thinking that as long as she could rescue her father and husband, she would be able to accept his torture, humiliation, and surrender to her.
The man was already very thin and was still coughing, but a huge force came from nowhere and knocked her to the ground just as she was about to put her hand on his shoulder.
He looked at her as if she were some disgusting, dirty thing. "Don't touch me."
At that moment, she was a hundred times more embarrassed than she is now. She broke down and cried and asked him how to let her family go. She knew she was wrong, and they all knew they were wrong.
The man just looked at her, his peach blossom eyes, still too beautiful even in his illness, showing sarcasm. "Do you really think it's about that? Why don't you ask your father what he did? Ask your husband what he did?"
She didn't remember if she heard anything else, she only remembered that the other party called the security guard to throw her out. When she opened her eyes again, she was back in 1969 when everything had not yet begun.
Her engagement with Qi Fang had been called off, and she met her future husband, Wu Xingde, through an introduction. They had been together for three months and were ready to get engaged, just as things had unfolded in her dream.
In the dream, their family was just cannon fodder in a book. She didn't quite understand what it was, but she knew that they would probably not have a good ending.
It all seemed too real. She was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and ran away from home before the engagement.
If everything originated from that broken engagement, then she should marry Qi Fang as agreed, so that nothing would happen to her father and her husband.
In their previous life, they had no children and her husband always treated her the same way. Since it was destined to have no good outcome, it would be better to give the other party a way out and not implicate him.
It just so happened that Qi Fang had never married in his life. If she took the initiative and behaved more modestly, it should be possible for him to forget the hatred of being broken off from the engagement...
The only thing she didn't expect was that the other party carried the girl on his back. Miss Yan really couldn't imagine that the future cold-hearted and even cold-blooded industrial tycoon would be so careful to carry a girl on his back.
And if she heard correctly when she first came here, these two people should be arguing, right?
How could he bear it when the girl spoke to him like that?
It seems like his face is about to turn blue with anger...
Miss Yan was very suspicious that she had recognized the wrong person, but this face was exactly the same as the one in her previous life, only younger, more handsome, and more human.
She hesitated for a moment, then looked at Yan Xue and asked, "Who is she?"
It was really inexplicable. Qi Fang turned around and left with his back to the person.
Yan Xue on his back was still not behaving well. She turned around and glanced at him again, "Why are you leaving? Did you get into trouble somewhere?"
"Isn't it enough that I owe you a debt?" He couldn't help but retort.
This alone is enough to give him a headache, and he still doesn't know how to deal with the knife hanging over his head.
Yan Xue was genuinely puzzled. "Why else would someone come to you and ask you if you remembered her?"
Generally speaking, when someone is asked if you still remember someone by Daming Lake, they are either looking for their lover or their father.
At Qi Fang's age, there is definitely no one who would come to him to claim him as their father, but he looks quite attractive and can easily attract romantic interests.
Yan Xue hugged the man's neck and said, "Could it be that this girl wrote that letter? I was wondering why you haven't been acting right these past few days. You've been asking me for money, saying you're not okay, and you've been suffering from insomnia..."
"No." Qi Fang's face looked even uglier than before.
But he still couldn't explain to Yan Xue who wrote the letter, why he said that he was not good, and why he couldn't sleep.
At this moment, Miss Yan, who had been left behind, finally came to her senses. "Qi Fang, have you forgotten the engagement between our two families? I'm here to marry you!"
Suddenly the wind stopped, Qi Fang paused, and his heart sank.
It turned out that the real eldest daughter of the Yan family came.
Wasn't she getting engaged again? Why was she still looking for him?
What felt even heavier than his heart was Yan Xue on his back. He didn't know whether he should be glad that Yan Xue couldn't see the expression on his face at this moment.
But Yan Xue had already turned her head, "You said you were engaged to him?" With disbelief, the hand around his neck even loosened.
He was still trying to figure out how to explain it, but Miss Yan said bluntly, "Yes, it was a childhood engagement, arranged since we were little."
Yan Xue was silent, but silence at this time was obviously not a good thing.
Qi Fang could only close his eyes, turned around with his back to the person, and said, "Let's go back and talk."
He couldn't tell anyone about this when he got back.
Qi Fang has been looking for a marriage partner for Yan Xue these days, in case Yan Xue reveals the truth, but he didn't expect that he would be the first to reveal the truth.
Along the way, his face was as gloomy as water. The two Yan Xues had their own thoughts and did not say a word.
When I arrived at the Guo family yard, I ran into Aunt Guo.
The old lady cried out "Ouch" as soon as she saw Yan Xue on Qi Fang's back, "Didn't you sprain your ankle? Why are you out again?"
Yan Xue was always able to hide her emotions, and she didn't show any abnormality. She smiled and greeted her: "I went out for something."
Aunt Guo had already seen Miss Yan and thought she was going out to pick someone up because of something she was talking about. "Are there any relatives coming home?"
"I came to..." Miss Yan was about to respond when Qi Fang gave her a cold look and she immediately swallowed her words back.
Because of that dream, she was always a little afraid of her former fiancé, even though he was very young and handsome now, and did not have the sinister and morbid look that he later had.
But when she really reached the half-mud house, she couldn't help but say, "You're going to live here?"
See, this is the reaction that a real eldest daughter of the Yan family should have.
Unlike Yan Xue, not only did she not despise him at all, she was even more successful than him.
Qi Fang didn't say anything. Miss Yan looked at his expression and stopped talking. She then walked in holding her bag.
Qi Fang was about to follow in when someone twisted his arm. Then a low voice rang in his ear, "You already have a childhood marriage, and you're asking someone to introduce you to someone?"
After being silent all the way, what was supposed to happen finally happened. Qi Fang actually felt that this was more reassuring than if she had not asked anything.
And when Yan Xue asked this, it was obvious that she hadn't thought about admitting her mistake yet, so he paused and said, "I withdrew a long time ago."
"She retired a long time ago? Then why did she come to you?"
Yan Xue still couldn't figure it out, but at least it was better to withdraw than not to withdraw. Otherwise, she would always feel like a mistress caught by the wife.
Qi Fang couldn't figure it out either. He put Yan Xue on the kang as soon as he entered the room, and then checked her sprained ankle before finally looking at the newcomer. "The engagement between our two families was cancelled last year. Your father personally wrote to me to ask for the engagement deed. Don't tell me you didn't know."
Miss Yan was secretly looking at the small house, and was suddenly stunned when she heard this.
Although she had anticipated the accusations she would face when she arrived, she still hesitated before saying, "I'm sorry. This was something my family did that was not right. I apologize to you on behalf of my father."
If it were in the past, when the Yan family looked down on him so much and threatened him with their family, Qi Fang might have cared a little, but now he just wanted to get rid of them quickly.
"If that's all you came here to say, then I accept your apology and you can go."
Very calm tone.
Miss Yan, however, couldn't believe his words. She could accept that he wouldn't have been so vindictive in his past life. "I'm serious. My father was just confused for a moment. He didn't mean to look down on you, and neither did I. I came here to marry you. Although I didn't get the letter of introduction, I stole your household registration."
Afraid that he wouldn't believe her, she quickly took out a household registration document from her bag and said, "Since we can't get a marriage certificate, we can have the wedding first. My dad will come to his senses sooner or later..."
"But I'm already married," Qi Fang interrupted her.
Seeing the doubt in her big eyes, he calmly took Yan Xue's hand and said, "I didn't have time to introduce you just now. This is my lover."
Carrying someone on your back could be considered a matter of circumstance, but holding hands...
Miss Yan looked over, her shock unconcealed. "Married? How is that possible?"
"We are married." Yan Xue's voice was much gentler than Qi Fang's. "No matter what disputes you had in the past, the marriage between the two families has been cancelled. It's reasonable for him to find someone else to marry, don't you think?"
"There is no entanglement. I have only met her once." Qi Fang emphasized in a deep voice without waiting for Miss Yan to speak.
This was too disrespectful to the other party. The young girl's already bad complexion became even paler.
Yan Xue quickly pulled the man aside and said to Miss Yan, "You came all the way to see him, is there something wrong?"
Both marriages were called off, and it was the woman who took the initiative to call it off. If nothing had happened, the other party would not have come to find Qi Fang, especially since it happened so long ago.
Those big eyes were friendly and tolerant, which made Miss Yan's nose feel sore. The grievance and panic that had been suppressed in her heart almost surged up.
Seeing this, Yan Xue became more determined. "If you have any difficulties, you can tell us. Even if we no longer have that relationship, we will still do our best to help you, right, Qi Fang?"
She looked at the man, and Qi Fang nodded in agreement with her words, "Yeah."
No matter what, let's send this person away first. His place is already in chaos enough, and he doesn't need another person to make things worse.
Miss Yan looked at him, then at Yan Xue, with doubt and hesitation flashing in her eyes, and finally all turned into certainty, "No, I'm here to marry Qi Fang."
She didn't believe that Qi Fang was already married, even though they were holding hands and even though there were wedding characters on the walls and cabinets in this room.
In that dream, Qi Fang was always alone, without even a member of the opposite sex around him, and I had never heard that he was married.
If he had been married, would he still be brooding over the broken engagement so many years ago and deliberately seeking revenge?
More importantly, she recognized Qi Fang's face, which was almost exactly the same as the one in her dream, which proved that her dream was absolutely true.
After all, she had only met Qi Fang once when she was a child, and she had long forgotten what he looked like.
In the end, the fear of that dream overcame the shock of reality. Miss Yan nodded and said, "Yes, I came here to marry him."
Afraid that Qi Fang still remembered what happened before, she tried to smile at him, "I know you are angry, but there is really nothing we can do about Uncle Qi and Big Brother Qi. But you are not sent down, I can go back and beg my dad to bring you back."
If an apology isn't enough, adding other conditions will be fine, right? Qi Fang probably doesn't want to stay in this mountain valley for more than ten years...
Miss Yan thought to herself, but she didn't expect that Yan Xue would be the first to speak after she finished speaking: "Wait a moment."
Yan Xue finally realized something was wrong, "Did you just say Uncle Qi and Big Brother Qi?"
When Qi Fang saw Yan Xue's reaction, he knew that Miss Yan must have revealed something, but it was too late to stop her.
Miss Yan didn't notice his expression at all, "Yes, his father and his eldest brother, don't you know?"
Yan Xue turned to Qi Fang and asked, "Isn't there no one at home?"
What should Qi Fang say? Should he lie to her and say that he didn't dare to mention it to her because he was afraid she would mind?
What if she knew more about the man she was marrying than he thought?
As expected, Yan Xue was not so easily fooled. She immediately asked Miss Yan, "You just said you could ask your dad to take him back. Where should he take him back to?"
"It's up to him whether he wants to go back to Yanjing or the research institute."
"So you are from Yanjing?" Yan Xue turned and looked at Qi Fang.
Although his tone was calm, neither angry nor questioning, Qi Fang still subconsciously tensed up.
Now that things have come to this, there is no point in hiding it anymore, so he simply tells the truth: "My family is from Yanjing, but after I was five years old, I spent most of my time living with my grandfather in Jiang Province."
"You didn't invite your parents to your wedding?"
"My mother passed away when I was five, and my father was sent down to the countryside."
"Then if I ask you to marry me, you will marry me and even call out my name right away?"
Yan Xue had already stood up from the kang. Even though she was the shortest among the three people present, she still felt dwarfed by Qi Fang, who had just looked down on others, after hearing his words.
The man pursed his lips and had to lower his eyes to look at her, "I thought you were her, her name is also Yan Xue."
Not only Yan Xue, but Miss Yan was also stunned. "She is also called Yan Xue?"
The two looked at each other, both feeling incredible.
In fact, not only do they have the same name, they both have sweet looks. However, Miss Yan is sweet but also arrogant, while Yan Xue is more approachable and has more delicate features.
Qi Fang had always thought that this Yan Xue was the same Yan Xue, but when he really compared them together, he realized that he actually had no impression of Miss Yan.
After a while, Miss Yan pointed at Yan Xue first and said, "You mistook her for me, so you two are really married?"
Yan Xue didn't say anything, and Qi Fang didn't say anything either.
But at this moment, silence was tacit agreement. Miss Yan was simply incredulous. "You can even admit your mistake? Didn't you even ask?"
Qi Fang was silent.
He didn't ask much at the time, mainly because he thought Yan Xue would leave after a few days.
Miss Yan turned to Yan Xue again and asked, "He recognized the wrong person. Did you recognize the wrong person too?"
Yan Xue was also silent.
She also realized that she had chosen the wrong person. If she hadn't realized it by now, she would be a fool.
"You really made a mistake?" Miss Yan's voice rose. "He's a taciturn person. Don't you even ask?"
"My blind date's parents are both dead, and he's the only one left at home. It's not easy to ask."
Yan Xue was also helpless. Moreover, Qi Fang was a deep-seated person when they first got married. If she asked the wrong question, she would step on his sore spot. She really didn't have that much curiosity.
Standing with one foot on the ground was uncomfortable after all, so Yan Xue slowly sat back on the edge of the kang.
It would be a lie to say that she was not shocked that her husband, with whom she had been together for almost four months, actually admitted his mistake. At that moment, her disbelief was definitely no less than that of this girl.
No wonder Qi Fang kept asking her if she had made up her mind and asking for her family's opinions. After all this time, he thought she was his fiancée, but the two families had already called off the engagement long before that.
He shouldn't have been more quick-witted at the time. He asked again, "Your family has called off the engagement, so why are you still here?"
Never mind, she didn't ask too many questions herself. She thought the other party's conditions were all good, so she decided to get married as soon as possible.
The point is, it's been almost four months since this was a mistake. Aren't they looking for a real blind date? She even accepted a hundred yuan from him...
And Yan Xue... her surname is Qi... and the child engagement... was called off...
The more Yan Xue thought about it, the more familiar this plot seemed to her. She couldn't help but look up at the man and asked, "You really don't have another name?"
The same questions as on their wedding day made Qi Fang, who was waiting for the verdict with bated breath, feel a little incoherent.
"No." He said firmly, but Miss Yan, who was still shocked, interrupted, "But he has another name, Jing Shu."
If this man had not later changed his name to Qi Jingshu, no one would have mistaken him for Changqing Heavy Industry when it started, and would have been tricked by him several times.
Miss Yan was in a bad mood when she mentioned it, and Yan Xue also felt it was hard to put into words.
How could she forget that people can change their names? Especially back then, when household registration wasn't yet connected to the internet, and after the reform and opening up, fake certificates and documents were everywhere...
After all this time, she really followed the fashion and wore a book, and even married the tragic big man in the book.
But there is no such person as her in the book, and it does not mention that after the engagement was broken off, the boss's ex-fiancée came all the way to marry him.
Things were in a complete mess. Even though Yan Xue was experienced, she was at a loss for what to do and could not help but press her solar plexus.
Qi Fang didn't know what she was thinking, but seeing her silence, his hands unconsciously clenched.
In the silence, Miss Yan was the first to speak. "Since you both admit your mistakes, why don't you just switch back?"
"Change it back?" Yan Xue was stunned.
"No!" Qi Fang said without even thinking.
There was even a coldness in his eyes when he looked at Miss Yan, which made Miss Yan subconsciously move closer to Yan Xue, as if leaning on Yan Xue would make her less afraid of him.
"Seriously, you married her because you thought she was me, and she already has someone else to marry, so just trade her back. I don't mind anyway, and she's so pretty, I guess her partner won't mind either."
Miss Yan didn't know how things had gone this way, but since they had admitted their mistakes, wouldn't it be back on track if they could just change it back?
Qi Fang's veins were about to pop out, "No, I don't agree!"
He tried to calm himself down and looked at Miss Yan. "If you really have any difficulties, tell me. Don't think about anything else."
After a series of no's, either disagreeing or forgetting, Miss Yan was confused. "Didn't you marry her because she was me? What's wrong with changing her back?"
If it had been her, this truly spoiled yet naive Miss Yan...
Qi Fang probably thought she wouldn't understand anything else he said to her, and it would be a waste of time. "That's between her and me. I've already called off the engagement with you."
"How about asking her marriage partner?" Miss Yan still didn't give up.
Qi Fang said nothing, walked directly to the door and opened it, "If you have nothing else to do, please leave. I remember you said you didn't get the letter of introduction."
The voice was so cold that it reminded Miss Yan of the look he had given her in her dream, and she instantly shut up.
Just then, a familiar voice came from outside the courtyard, "This is it? Thank you."
The next second, someone came and knocked on the door of the main room, "Excuse me, does Yan Xue live here?"
When Qi Fang raised his eyes, he met Qi Fang outside the door.
