Chapter 862 Are we really just friends?
Kang Chengzhi felt so upset that he could hardly breathe after hearing this.
He lowered his head, with regret and grievance in his eyes: "I actually regretted it last night. If I hadn't confessed my feelings to her, then even if I couldn't be her lover, I could still be her lifelong friend.
But after calming down, I knew very clearly that even if I didn't confess my feelings, Jiang Sui and I couldn't be friends. Because I can't stand on the side of a friend and watch the person I like marry someone else." "
So, you deliberately confessed your feelings to make her hate you and never dare to approach you again in the future?" "
I have no other choice. I'm afraid that if I don't make up my mind, I will continue to pester her in the future. Mingzhu, I'm really conflicted. I want to get her, but I can't get close to her because I'm a cripple!" He said, beating his left leg resentfully.
"Kang Chengzhi, calm down. What if she likes you too?"
"Impossible. She won't like me. I saw the fear in her eyes last night. And...even if she likes me, what can she do? Can I give her happiness? I am a useless person who can never walk upright on two legs again.
If she accepts me, then the moment I appear beside her, it will be the beginning of people pointing fingers at her. She is such a good girl. Why should I drag her down because of my disability?"
Mingzhu saw his contradiction without Kang Chengzhi's words.
In the final analysis, he really loves Sui Sui. He clearly wants to get her, but he is afraid of dragging her down and hurting her, so he uses what he thinks is the best way to keep Jiang Sui away from him, and then he silently bears all the pain alone.
She hesitated for a moment and said comfortingly: "Chengzhi, it was you who came to me for help to heal your leg, and now you are the one who gave up first. I haven't given up yet, how can you give up first? What's more, have you forgotten what you said at the beginning that it didn't matter even if it couldn't be cured? How can you give up on yourself now?"
"At that time, I didn't know that I would like Shang Jiangsui, and I didn't know that when you like someone, you want to give the best of yourself in the world to the other person, but now... I can't be that best person, and I can't get her."
If Suishun heard this, she would probably be moved: "Chengzhi, your left leg is indeed difficult to cure with the current method, but this does not mean that there will be no way in the future..."
"Mingzhu, I know you have tried your best. My right leg has been cured. I am very grateful to you, but... let's stop here. I know that my leg has no feeling. It can't be cured. So, I can't waste your time any more. You should go back."
Mingzhu really didn't know what else she could say to persuade him.
She thought about it and decided to put the pressure on Kang Jingzhi.
She didn't say anything more, just told him to have a good rest. As long as there is hope in his heart, there are always more solutions than difficulties in this world.
After returning home, she called Kang Jingzhi and explained Kang Chengzhi's situation.
Kang Jingzhi was silent for a long time on the other end of the phone. What kind of fate did the two brothers have? God was really unfair. It would be fine if he had to suffer the bitter fruit of not being able to get the love he wanted alone, but why did he torture his only brother?
After thanking Mingzhu, he got up and went to the next room, changed his clothes in full armor, and went to Kang Chengzhi's house
. Mingzhu was not in a good mood after returning home.
In the evening, Jiang Duo took her back to the room after dinner and asked her if anything happened.
Mingzhu told him everything about Jiang Sui and Kang Chengzhi without reservation.
She hugged Jiang Duo's waist with a sigh in her heart, and put her face against Jiang Duo's chest: "Husband, when I watched them, I realized how rare it is for a relationship to be mutually affectionate and to be married. Kang Chengzhi's leg is his heart disease, but I really can't think of a way to cure him.
I think he is actually quite good. In order to repay his kindness, he married Liu Xiaoran, but because Liu Xiaoran didn't want to, he didn't touch her for many years. If such a man is healthy, he can marry Shunsui and he will surely spoil Shunsui. It's just that now... Hey, what do you think, should I say something and have a good talk with Shunsui?"
"Didn't you say that this matter depends on Shunsui's feelings?"
"Can't you see it? Schunshun likes him."
Jiang Duo didn't have so many concerns in his heart: "Then you talk to her."
"But Kang Chengzhi's legs..."
"What kind of love is it if it can be blocked by a leg?"
Mingzhu felt relieved when she heard Jiang Duo say this: "In fact, although Kang Chengzhi's legs are not good, his ability to make money is not bad. What he can't do for Schunshun, he can naturally spend money to do it for Schunshun. Schunshun shouldn't feel too wronged if she marries him. Besides, if Kang Chengzhi really makes us dissatisfied, don't we still have you and cousin as brothers?" "I'm protecting you."
Jiang Duo saw that her eyes were bright again, and he raised his hand to rub her head lovingly: "Are you not worried anymore?"
Mingzhu nodded: "Yes, I'm not worried anymore. Captain Jiang has been my guiding light. What else do I have to worry about? I'm going to take this light and shine it on my immature sister-in-law."
Jiang Duo smiled: "Let's go, I'll accompany you."
The two went out together.
They hadn't walked far when they saw Jiang Sui running towards them in a hurry.
"Sister-in-law, cousin, where are you going?"
Mingzhu and Jiang Duo looked at each other and smiled: "Looking for you, what about you? What are you going to do?"
"I'm looking for you too. Have you gone to see Kang Chengzhi today?"
Jiang Duo looked at Mingzhu: "You talk to Sui Sui. I'm going to talk to my cousin about something."
Mingzhu nodded. After Jiang Duo left, she took Jiang Sui's hand and walked towards the path ahead.
"Sui Sui, I went to see Kang Chengzhi today, but he was in a very bad state. He did that yesterday on purpose to provoke you and make you stay away from him."
Jiang Sui, said he liked her, but provoked her to leave?
"Why?"
"Actually... I have always known that Kang Chengzhi likes you, but I have never thought of bringing you two together because I think he has a bad leg and is not worthy of you. During this time, I frequently went to Kang's house to help him treat his leg. He took the initiative to ask me for help. He wanted to stand up again and pursue you. He wanted to stand by your side with dignity and not let you be criticized because of him."
These words shocked Jiang Sui.
Mingzhu continued: "During this time, he has been working hard to comply with my treatment requirements. No matter how painful or difficult it was, he never stopped exercising. Finally, his right leg recovered, but... his left leg could not be cured. He was very distressed after knowing this and felt that he had lost the qualification to bring you happiness.
He said... he really wanted to be with you, and he couldn't bear to watch you marry someone else, so he could only use this method to make you hate him. Sui Sui, I think he is really pitiful, so I can't help but ask you on his behalf, have you ever thought about it carefully, do you really just regard him as a friend?"
