Chapter 24 In your eyes, my dad is just my dad, not your dad
Yuhu Bay
When Yi Jiu and He Jingxin arrived at the underground parking garage, Yi Jiu asked, "Sister, aren't we going to the hospital? Why are we going home now?"
He Jingxin made an excuse that she had to get something. Then her cell phone rang, and Yi Jiu glanced and saw it was Meng Li.
——You are here, and so am I. You are waiting at the door.
"In my sister's eyes, my father's serious illness and hospitalization are insignificant." Yi Jiu looked at He Jingxin, full of complaints, and the cold light in his eyes could not be hidden. He Jingxin hesitated for a while, she pinched her nose helplessly, and Yi Jiu avoided her touch.
"It's just on the way." He Jingxin suppressed the impetuousness in her heart, raised her right hand and said flatteringly: "Little friend, let's go up together. I will accompany you all day today. Sister swears, okay? Really!"
Yi Jiu got out of the car silently. He Jingxin held her wrist and said, "Ten minutes at most, okay? Your father is in the hospital, nothing will happen to him."
Yi Jiu felt annoyed for no reason. She hated what she said to herself the day before yesterday. Two fleeting sentences suddenly flashed through her mind.
——I want to go to the hospital to take care of my baby. Miss Yi, can you help me contact the doctor at the hospital to see if there are any vacancies? As for the expenses, I will pay for it myself.
——Liang Yun's mother, she is the director of the hospital's inpatient department.
And the last time she went to see an eye doctor, she seemed to see someone supporting my father near the inpatient department, and then she met Qin Rong by coincidence. The video my father sent her was in a rainy day, but it was sunny on her birthday and a few days before.
"My father has been ill for a long time..." Liang Yan must have told you.
Before I could finish my words, I heard a ding and the elevator door opened.
And He Jingxin was standing there. The light from the elevator room was bright and dazzling, falling on her, while she was standing in the dark underground parking garage. The two of them seemed to be separated by an invisible line.
He Jingxin was caught off guard by Yi Jiu's question. She knew that President Yi was ill a week ago. She frowned and said, "Little friend, please stop making trouble. If your father was seriously ill, how could he dance for you to celebrate your birthday?"
Seeking benefits and avoiding harm is the instinct of living things.
Yi Jiu was more sober than anyone else at this moment. She could even conclude that Qin Rong was hinting at her yesterday. Everyone in the He family knew that her father was ill, and they were hiding it from her. Her frail body was stubborn, like a clear spring, with a cold light, and her eyes were like a crescent moon reflected in the spring and broken by the wind.
Yi Jiu's voice was not loud, but every word of it fell into her ears. She found that the child seemed to be really angry, and his clear and cool eyes revealed a hint of danger and perverseness.
The next second, Yi Jiu ran directly into the elevator. He Jingxin wanted to say a few words of comfort, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say a word. This child is getting more and more arrogant, what kind of attitude is this?
I couldn't help but defend myself in my mind, your father is really seriously ill, how could he still dance for you?
During the ten seconds of ascending, Yi Jiu held the inner wall with one hand and kept staring at the changing numbers. Under the lavender contact lenses, it was difficult to notice that the whites of her eyes had been slightly cracked, like the most perfect jade stone having a flaw.
The elevator door opened quickly, and Yi Jiufeng walked out of the elevator. "Pah!" The electronic door opened, and Meng Li, who had been waiting outside the door, was rejected. Meng Li was speechless, and looked at He Jingxin in the elevator.
As the elevator door opened and closed, He Jingxin's face made it hard to tell what she was feeling. Yi Jiu returned to her room, took out a suitcase, threw in a few sets of clothes she often wore, and threw away the same windbreaker that He Jingxin was wearing. She changed into a pair of black Martin boots and chose her Panamera from the key box.
She looked at the butterfly she had picked up, its wings broken. This was a place that suffocated her, a place that made her want to leave quickly. Listening to the sound of the suitcase rolling over the mahogany floor, the floor reflected her lonely voice, and two parallel lines that would never intersect.
Because of the backlight, He Jingxin felt a little uneasy. She took a step back in fear. She reached out and grabbed Yi Jiu's wrist. "What are you going to do?"
Yi Jiu looked down at the woman's hand. She gently pried it apart with her other hand. The blood on her index finger stuck to the back of her hand, seductive and gorgeous. "I want to go to the hospital."
Meng Li always feels afraid of Yi Jiu because she was slapped by him last time.
She saw Yi Jiu's face, which was so dejected that she smiled triumphantly, wanting to dampen Yi Jiu's arrogance. She said politely, "Boss Yi, I have something to ask Jing Xin."
Yi Jiu raised his eyes, and his lavender pupils scanned the two of them, landing on He Jingxin. He Jingxin already had her own little feelings for Yi Jiu, and did not refuse at the moment, just wanting to see Yi Jiu's answer.
As long as Yi Jiu said "no", she would go with her immediately.
"Ms. Meng, you don't need to pretend. You don't have the talent to be an actor. Your performance is really disgusting. I will give in to you. My sister has repeatedly emphasized that you are a PTSD patient. How can I bother with a patient?"
"you--"
While the two were still in shock, Yi Jiu pulled the suitcase and left. When Yi Jiu entered the elevator, a pair of hands appeared in her sight. He Jingxin just stood there. She ignored the pain of her palms being pinched by the elevator door. She asked with a suppressed irritation in her voice, "What are you talking about again?"
The atmosphere suddenly became sharp.
Yi Jiu retorted: "I told you, you can do whatever you want. You are the owner of this house, you can do whatever you want."
He Jingxin pointed at her phone and said, "Yi Jiu, it was supposed to take five minutes, but you have been tormented for twenty minutes since you got off the car. You are still venting your anger on me. Do you have to complicate things?"
Yi Jiu's eyes were sore. She was dazzled by the bright light from her phone. She quickly closed her eyes. She was too lazy to talk nonsense to He Jingxin. "Okay, I'll make it complicated. It's my fault. I can look after my father myself. You and Meng Li, five minutes, or ten minutes, does it have anything to do with me? Don't waste my time."
"What are you making a fuss about? I've explained to you so many times that Meng Li has never been an obstacle between us. I'll just help her get her things for five minutes today."
"In your eyes, my dad is just my dad, not your dad." The suppressed anger was ignited at once, and the words buried in his heart were finally released. Yi Jiu's rationality, which he was proud of, turned to ashes in an instant. "So, you have been hiding it from me, hiding it from me. In your eyes, the doctors will take care of me in the hospital, and it doesn't matter whether I go early or late."
"He Jingxin, if it was your father lying on the hospital bed, what would you do?"
He Jingxin was deeply hurt by Yi Jiu's words. This was what she was thinking deep in her heart. The elevator door was slowly closed, and the two worlds were cut apart and split. The two worlds were really separated. Who could have thought that it would be several months before they met again.
He Jingxin walked into the house in a daze. There was a red mark on her fair palm, which looked like a medal pinned on her arm when she was a student. It was given to her by a child.
Meng Li said, "Jing Xin, you look so tired. I'll get the things myself."
He Jingxin nodded and went back to her room. She held the cold door handle and sweat broke out on her palm. She calculated the time. The child had a lot of things and it was impossible to sort them out in 20 minutes.
She pushed forward and took two steps. She felt something soft at her feet and looked down. These were the clothes she had chosen for her in the morning, but she had discarded them like old shoes, just like she had just now.
She came to the cloakroom and found that only a few pieces of clothing were missing from Yi Jiu's row. She calmed down a little, thinking that it was okay. And the box containing the famous watches and car keys was missing only a set of Panamera car keys.
Okay, all her stuff is there.
He Jingxin closed her eyes, and her hanging heart finally settled down.
He Jingxin didn't know when Meng Li left. He Jingxin returned to the study. She wanted to take her laptop to the hospital and work there. When she picked up the laptop, why was the bottom of the laptop hot?
She took away all the music OST resources for several TV series and movies that she found for Meng Li.
He Jingxin: Mr. Yi, what exactly is wrong with his illness?
Liang Yin: I heard from my mother that the life span of leukemia in the late stage is as short as three days or as long as a week. He is awake now, which means he is recovering from the disease.
......
Hospital VIP Ward
The ward was filled with disinfectant. President Yi was lying on the bed with a ventilator in his mouth. He took out his cell phone, opened the photo, and touched the photo. The person in the photo looked 70% like Yi Jiu, sunny and energetic.
Su He, I know your child likes He Jingxin very much. Just like you did back then, you liked that person so much that you were like a moth to a flame, and you liked her so much that you broke up with your family.
"Dad, why are you crying?" Yi Jiu picked up a tissue and wiped the tears from President Yi's face. President Yi smiled bitterly and held Yi Jiu's hand, "I thought of your mother."
Yi Jiu looked up at the bottle of IV drip, her eyes reddened, she sniffed, and said stubbornly: "Mom will bless Dad to live a long life in heaven."
"Um."
"Dad, who is Mom?"
Mr. Yi looked at Yi Jiu carefully. Yi Jiu's face looked like Su He. Her long eyelashes made her more vivid. Her clear starry eyes showed her sunshine and kindness. Her face seemed to be carved by God, exquisite and flawless.
He handed a folder to Yi Jiu, "Xiao Jiu, your mother is a very good person. She is extremely smart, beautiful and noble, and has a good temper. Your mother left something for you somewhere, go get it from Dad. This folder contains your mother's things."
Hearing that her mother had something for her, Yi Jiu was a little excited, but she asked, "Dad, if I bring my mother's things over, you have to let me do the matching."
——Mr. Yi was diagnosed with advanced leukemia. Miss Yi, matching can only delay the disease.
President Yi smiled at her with a pale face, "Okay, listen to my baby."
Yi Jiu returned to the parking lot and just opened the door. The folder in his hand trembled and a family photo fell out. Yi Jiu picked up the family photo and saw the words on the back: Family photo of 2000, welcome to my sister's house, a little princess.
She remembered seeing a photo like this before.
——Xiaojiu, this is our family photo when I was born. On the left are the four of us, and the woman on the right is my aunt. I’m not exaggerating, half of the omegas in Haicheng want to marry my gentle alpha aunt.
——What is your aunt's name?
——Her name is Cheng Suhe. There are Fusu trees on the mountain and lotus flowers in the marshes.
......
Inpatient Nursing Station
"Head nurse, tell us about the hospital. Why is it called Soho Hospital?" The young nurse pestered the head nurse and asked. The head nurse put down her work and said, "This hospital belongs to Chengjiang Group. This hospital was built in memory of the chairman's daughter."
"The chairman's daughter, Ms. Cheng, is not named this," said the young nurse.
"It was the chairman's other daughter, Dr. Cheng Suhe. She had a master's degree in both genetics and cardiac surgery and had made great achievements. Unfortunately, she died young." The head nurse used her memory to surprise the young nurses, "Director Liang of the inpatient department was a top cardiac surgeon, did you know?"
"Know."
"Director Liang and Doctor Cheng are classmates, and Director Liang's grades are at the bottom of the class. Director Liang should not know about this."
He Jingxin, who had just heard the gossip, squinted at Liang Yin and said, "Tsk tsk tsk! Your mother's grades were at the bottom, but she was able to become a cardiac surgeon in the hospital. Is this a rumor?"
Liang Yin glared at her with resentment on his face. She refuted the rumor, "There were six people in my mother's major back then, and my mother ranked fourth."
Afterwards, Liang Yin looked at Mr. Yi's ward and said, "Why don't you go and reconcile with Mr. Yi? If you two stay like this, it will only hurt Yi Jiu the most. One is her biological father, and the other is you, her favorite."
He Jingxin stepped on a piece of white paper with her high heels. He Jingxin picked it up and her eyes widened instantly.
This is a paternity test.
He Jingxin took the paternity certificate and walked directly to Mr. Yi's ward. Mr. Yi was wearing a hospital gown. He stood in front of the window and looked at the scenery outside. He was nostalgic for the world, and every second he looked was a good one. He heard a knock on the door behind him, and he turned his gaze to the back.
It turned out to be He Jingxin.
President Yi climbed onto the bed and took a deep breath of the air from the ventilator, which made him cough violently. His pale face regained its rosiness, but the sickly red color and the decayed eyeballs all indicated that his life had entered the countdown.
This is probably what it means.
"Boss Yi, you and the kid are not biological father and daughter. That's why you've been delaying the treatment." He Jingxin put the report in front of Boss Yi, "You're afraid the kid will know. Once the test results are matched, your relationship will be broken."
President Yi was silent for a long while. With trembling lips, he said slowly, "President He, please don't tell Xiao Jiu the truth, okay?"
"Who are Xiaojiu's parents?"
parents?
Mr. Yi held the quilt tightly. His body, tortured by leukemia, became thinner and thinner, and blood could be seen flowing slowly under his skin. His nose began to bleed, and drops of blood fell on the quilt, dripping with blood and lingering with a faint smell of blood.
Mr. Yi's hands were shaking, and he took a tissue from the side and covered his nose with his hands.
"Boss He, for the sake of my efforts for Qingmu Group and my support for you, please show some mercy." Boss Yi yielded to He Jingxin, but the woman did not want to agree. Thinking of the threats made against her three years ago, she sneered, "Three years ago, when you forced me, didn't you think about today?"
Three years ago?
Yi Zong recalled the past events, when the two of them switched positions. So, three years ago, he admitted that he was wrong, extremely wrong, so now he should make everything right.
The pain penetrated his brain, grabbing his consciousness and taking it to another parallel time and space. If he had not followed Su He's request and sent Xiao Jiu back to Cheng's house.
——Xiaojiu, you will live with your grandparents from now on. This is your aunt, auntie, and your brother and sister.
So, is everything going in another direction?
"Cough, cough, cough!" President Yi coughed up a large mouthful of blood. "If I can...if I can make you firmly sit...firmly sit on the throne of President He. And make He Jingxiang completely get out of the He family...how about that?"
Get He Jingxiang out of the game completely.
This made the woman overjoyed, and President Yi handed her a piece of evidence. His hands were shaking, and his fingers were withered. When He Jingxin touched the paper, President Yi's eyes suddenly became sharp. He used all his strength, not wanting to hand over the last trump card to He Jingxin. He Jingxin frowned, "President Yi, please let go."
Mr. Yi bent his fingers, wrinkling the paper, and said firmly, "Give me the paternity certificate."
President Yi turned on the lighter, and the white paper was burned by the fire. The information about Yi Jiu's life was completely gone. President Yi covered his chest and coughed violently. He fell on the hospital bed. His last consciousness began to blur and his mind was wandering. He Jingxin couldn't bear it.
——He Jingxin, what would you do if it was your father lying on the hospital bed?
"I'll call a doctor for you." He Jingxin said, and then she covered his mouth and nose with the ventilator, and she sat beside the bed. President Yi stared at her, and said in a hoarse and unpleasant voice, "He Jingxin, you got what you wanted, and you still keep doing... what are you doing... Get lost!"
Seeing that he didn't know what was good for him, He Jingxin helped him press the doctor's button. The doctor came over quickly and gave him medicine. He Jingxin asked, "Doctor, how long will he last like this?"
The doctor said apologetically, "We have done our best in these few days."
"Use the best medicine. Keep him alive no matter what." He Jingxin said as she left the ward dejectedly.
President Yi's mouth slightly raised. He had prevented the tragedy that happened to Su He. He Jingxin was just like that man, loving power and was not a good match for Xiao Jiu. Only if he died, he would take all the secrets away.
As the saying goes, you will see everything you want to see while you are still here...
Late summer 2000
Cheng Su He and that person were walking on the university campus. Cheng Su He was an alpha who was popular in the school, and that person was an omega who was a female academic master with both talents. The two of them were studying for their undergraduate and master's degrees simultaneously. Su He's love was hotter than the sunshine in midsummer. The alpha and omega who had entered puberty admired each other. Their passionate love spread all over the campus.
They are the most suitable and the most dazzling.
Su He is just like Xiao Jiu, infatuated and obsessed, and she wants to reveal her heart to that person.
Su He would give that person a bouquet of roses every day, and she would generously spend her own time to help her do experiments, and the two would discuss the future together. Su He would also send exquisite gifts on every holiday.
Those happy and warm moments gradually become clear and then slowly become blurred.
In a mountain village in the spring of 2001
"Doctor Cheng, you are the benefactor of our village. Please give this child a name." An old lady came over with a little girl. Cheng Suhe looked at the little girl and saw a peach tree outside the door with peach blossoms in full bloom. "The peach trees are lush and green, and their flowers are bright and beautiful. How about you name her Qin Zhihua?"
"Girl, thank Dr. Cheng quickly."
"Thank you, Dr. Cheng." Little Qin Zhihua said happily, "Qin Rong, I have a name."
"Mr. Cheng, this was captured by our camera." The young Mr. Yi, or Secretary Yi, handed the video to Cheng Suhe.
The picture is......
A doctor held a syringe and said, "Experimental subject number one, Qin Rong, inject her with experimental potion number one." The once talented female academic omega was also in the video. She held up the syringe and looked at the drop of potion on the top of the syringe. Zhang Yang was firm and showed no sympathy. "Su He loves me and will understand me. This is just for the experiment."
Then, Cheng Suhe took Xiao Qinrong, Xiao Qinzhihua, and her newborn child Xiaojiu to escape from the mountain village. Colleges and universities can filter out poor students, but they cannot filter out scumbags.
Su He fell in love with a career-crazy omega
In the end, that person criticized the omega so much that Su He committed suicide by cutting her wrists out of guilt.
......
He Jingxin came out of the ward and happened to meet Liang Yin. He Jingxin handed the things to Liang Yin and said, "Go check where He Jingxiang is right away."
"What's going on?"
"He Jingxiang is suspected of drunk driving, killing someone, and covering up a corpse, etc." He Jingxin said lightly, showing off her upcoming power. "These charges are enough to ruin He Jingxiang's reputation and put him in jail for life. I can finally take control of the group. Of course, I'm sure Qin Rong is by her side. She is innocent."
After saying that, He Jingxin was about to leave, but Liang Yin stopped her and said, "Why are you leaving? Didn't you promise Yi Jiu that you would stay with her and her father?"
Mr. Yi is not the child’s biological father.
This is the truest thought in her heart.
But she had promised Mr. Yi not to reveal the child's background, so she changed the subject and said, "I have to go back now to take charge of the group. I have to root out He Jingxiang's power. I will come back after I'm done. Besides, I'm not a medical student, so I can't help much here."
Liang Yan was stunned. This is what a daughter-in-law should say. It's true. But you must not emphasize filial piety. If you are dissatisfied with Mr. Yi, you should pretend to be nice and improve your reputation. "That's Yi Jiu's father, your father-in-law."
"Time waits for no one, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" He Jingxin's words were full of power. At this moment, no one and nothing could stop her. She had to drive the mother and daughter out. How did her mother die that year?
He was killed by this mother and daughter!
She thought of her mother lying on the hospital bed, no one came to save her, and her calls were useless. She must make the mother and daughter pay back a hundredfold for the harm she had suffered.
"Jing Xin, wait until He Jingxiang is in the police station." Liang Yin asked curiously, "Meng Li, she's divorced. She's doing this just for you. Last time, Yi Jiu slapped her in the face. These two are like water and fire."
"Don't worry about this. She is planning to start a career recently. I gave her a few music contracts because of our friendship. She won't appear in front of me and the kid." When she said this, He Jingxin rubbed her forehead, looking depressed and tired, and complained to her, "Kid, you have been in a bad mood recently."
"She wants your love." Liang Yin saw through Yi Jiu's needs at a glance, and she advised earnestly: "At first, President Yi knew about your pheromone disorder and threatened you to marry Yi Jiu. Later, you found that Yi Jiu's pheromones could just cure your illness. Don't turn your back on her now that your illness is cured."
"You think too much. I like her, but she is too emotional...she has given me the cold shoulder so many times this month. Whenever I don't coax her in a nice way, she takes advantage of me and becomes arrogant. I don't really ask for much. What I want from my partner is that she has a sense of boundaries, not too clingy, but also not too clingy."
Liang Yun took a while to understand these shocking words after hearing them. "... Can I understand that you found Yi Jiu too clingy and beyond your tolerance? So you use Meng Li to stimulate her. Similarly, if Meng Li is too much to you, you use Yi Jiu as a shield."
He Jingxin remained silent so that she would not be hurt by love.
"Please stop being such a jerk, you are simply..."
"Bang!"
The trash can was overturned, and Liang Yin's expression was a little horified. "Do you think it could be your Yi Jiu? Is it such a coincidence that she heard everything?"
"Shut up!" He Jingxin shouted in panic.
"But I..." I'm so scared
"It should... not be her!" He Jing's face was filled with uncertainty, fear, and panic. She was really afraid that it was a child. She comforted herself in her heart, "She can't stand this anger, after all..." It was really heartbreaking.
"Wait, why is there blood here?" Liang Yun was horrified to find a bloody fingerprint on the wall. The two followed the bloodstain, which spread from the stairs down, "Someone, someone... is injured."
Liang Yin forced a smile, looked at the dazed person beside him, and forced an explanation, "Jing Xin, how could it be Yi Jiu? She is not injured? I'll give her a call."
The call went through...
