Chapter 163 Chapter 163 Crispy and delicious fried dough sticks with sweet...
Cheng Yu stared at He Jingdong for a while...
He was about to close the door.
He Jingdong quickly shouted with his eyes red, "Xiao Yu!"
Then--
In response to him, there was a "bang".
Cheng Yu slammed the gate shut.
Soon, even the dim street lights outside the courtyard gate went out.
The surroundings fell into darkness.
Not far away there was a dim street lamp that was of little use.
It was late at night, and the alley was quiet, with no one in sight.
Every household had their doors and windows closed, and even the lights were turned off.
I don't know where a few cats meowed.
There are also a few birds singing,
This situation...
How desolate!
He Jingdong sat dejectedly on the flower bed in front of Cheng Yu's house.
A soft female voice suddenly sounded in the yard: "Cheng Yu! Come up quickly!"
This is Su Tianli's voice.
Judging from the distance, she should be upstairs.
Soon, Cheng Yu's voice also rang out, "Coming soon."
It sounds like Cheng Yu should still be standing in the yard.
And there is only a wall between him and He Jingdong.
He Jingdong immediately turned his head and looked at the tightly closed gate.
In the yard——
Su Tianli shouted, "Cheng Yu, pour me a large glass of water! I want warm water!"
Cheng Yu seemed to smile a little, "Okay!"
Su Tianli called again, "Cheng Yu, have you watered the basil?"
"Yes."
"Where's Jasmine?"
"Jasmine has also been watered."
"Will they die if I water them at night? I don't want them to die. I still want to eat jasmine fried eggs! Fried fish and shrimp with basil is also delicious..."
"Won't."
"What if?"
"I promise I won't."
…
The conversation between the young couple was plain, but full of the flavor of everyday life.
For some reason, the corners of He Jingdong's mouth curved up.
turn out to be--
Is this what couples talk about?
At first glance, it seems like a lot of unnecessary nonsense.
But why is it so interesting?
Jasmine flowers... can really be used to fry eggs? It sounds weird, is it really delicious?
He Jingdong sat on the flower bed in a daze.
I can't bear to leave, and I don't want to leave.
Until the early hours of the morning,
He vaguely heard some embarrassing noises.
The soft female voice sounded like crying and complaining, occasionally she exclaimed a few times, and then she cursed in a hoarse voice, "Cheng Yu! What on earth are you doing... You are so annoying!"
The man chuckled and soothed, "Be good...it will be well soon."
He Jingdong: …
He also felt a little embarrassed, so he stood up and walked away.
But his attention inevitably turned to Cheng Yu's home.
In fact, the lights in Cheng Yu's house had been turned off long ago and it was quiet.
But He Jingdong couldn't help but think,
——Is this the married life of a young couple?
Come to think of it, Cheng Yu and Xiao Su got married not long ago. They are young, have a good relationship and good physical condition, and they are very affectionate to each other... This is normal.
That……
He Jingdong suddenly fell into a daze.
He thought of his married life with Xu Jiaxi.
How should I put it? He also knew that his love with Xu Jiaxi was built on lies from the very beginning.
Even he himself couldn't tell whether he had ever loved Xu Jiaxi.
Have you ever loved?
Love, love.
Always love,
and--
Look at her deeply.
But he also knew that he was like a rat in the gutter and was not worthy of the true, kind and beautiful Xu Jiaxi.
So, when he mistakenly thought that Cheng Yu was the child born from Xu Jiaxi and Jiang Yao's affair,
He Jingdong suddenly felt a sense of righteous reliance.
Because Xu Jiaxi was no longer innocent, she lost her virginity...
He, a rat who had been hiding in the gutter all day, had finally become a good match for her.
But he felt very uncomfortable.
——Why did Xu Jiaxi betray him?
So, from the first day of marriage...
No, in fact, his relationship with Xu Jiaxi had been bad since before they got married.
But He Jingdong just held on to Xu Jiaxi tightly.
Because he knows,
Being locked together with Xu Jiaxi, the conveniences that can be enjoyed... are simply too many!
However, after marriage, although he and Xu Jiaxi lived together,
But we never ate together or slept together;
He seldom saw Xu Jiaxi, and the number of times they met in a year could be counted on the palm of his hand;
He seldom even spoke to her...
After twenty-three years of marriage, Xu Jiaxi must have been unhappy.
Him too.
But He Jingdong never expected that
Cheng Yu turned out to be his and Xu Jiaxi’s biological son!
so! ! !
Xu Jiaxi had never betrayed him!
on the contrary,
The dark side of him and Cheng Xi plotting against Xu Jiaxi was exposed to the public...
He Jingdong then felt embarrassed, ashamed and embarrassed.
He was thinking again,
If he had known earlier that Cheng Yu was his biological son...
How great that would be!
Even if Xu Jiaxi didn't love him, she would get along well with him for the sake of the child.
So,
In the long years to come, he, Xu Jiaxi, and Cheng Yu will become a happy family, right?
He Jingdong closed his eyes.
In the small courtyard not far away, light was coming through the window of the top-floor room.
There seemed to be a faint chuckle from Cheng Yu.
And the sound of Cheng Yu's footsteps going up and down the stairs.
About ten minutes later,
The lights went out again.
After a moment of silence, the woman cursed in a sweet voice: "If you don't sleep...get out!"
The man said a few words with a thick smile...
The courtyard finally fell silent again.
He Jingdong slowly walked back to Cheng Yu's courtyard.
He sat on the flower bed at the entrance of the courtyard.
I don't know why.
Although I can't even get through the door, just staying here gives me an indescribable feeling of peace and tranquility.
He Jingdong recalled the scene many years ago when he and Xu Jiaxi went boating in the park together.
At that time, the sky was really blue and the water was really clear.
The clouds are white and the wind is gentle.
Xu Jiaxi smiled sweetly, and when she looked at him, her eyes were filled with deep love...
He Jingdong's eyes gradually turned red.
He closed his eyes.
Opened again.
Looking at the half-moon in the night sky,
He Jingdong began to regret.
He regretted having deceived Xu Jiaxi from the beginning.
I regret replacing Cheng Yu.
I regret bullying Cheng Yu who was so young, poor and helpless.
He regrets...
He Jingdong let out a suppressed and painful cry.
The next morning,
Su Tianli told Cheng Yu that she wanted to eat fried noodles (Cantonese: youtiao) and sweet soy milk.
This thing consumes a lot of oil, it's not cost-effective to make it yourself, and you have to ferment the dough in advance.
So Cheng Yu planned to go out early and buy it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, he saw He Jingdong.
He Jingdong, who has always been particular about his work, was taking a nap in front of the flower bed in front of his house.
Cheng Yu frowned.
Since He Jingdong is here, he doesn't want to go out.
What if He Jingdong takes advantage of his absence and breaks into the house to bully Lizhi?
So Cheng Yu called a passing kid and asked him to run errands for him, and promised to treat the kid to a bowl of fried noodles.
The little brother was so happy that he took the money handed to him by Cheng Yu and ran away quickly.
The conversation between Cheng Yu and the little brother also woke up He Jingdong.
As soon as He Jingdong opened his eyes, he saw the handsome Cheng Yu.
He stared at Cheng Yu blankly, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Cheng Yu turned a blind eye and turned into the yard.
He Jingdong was stunned and couldn't help but shout "Cheng Yu".
Cheng Yu turned around and looked at him coldly, "If you have something to say, say it now. If you have to fart, fart now!"
He Jingdong: …
"Cheng Yu, no matter what, I am still your father, you..."
Cheng Yu glanced at him and said, "You are nothing!"
At this point, He Jingdong, who wanted to seek peace and approval, became angry, "Cheng Yu! How can you talk like that?"
"I know I was indeed... sorry for you in the past."
"But I have my reasons, don't I?"
"When we were in the Great Northwest, you were still there... You know what I was worried about!"
"So all misunderstandings are resolved. I know your mother didn't betray me, so..."
at this time--
After Su Tianli finished washing up, she didn't see Cheng Yu for a long time.
I thought he went out to buy fried noodles and soy milk.
Unexpectedly, I saw him standing at the gate, whispering to someone.
Su Tianli came over and listened, only to find out that He Jingdong had come.
I have to say——
He Jingdong is really good at making people feel disgusted.
Su Tianli couldn't help but interrupt He Jingdong, "Mr. He, I want to ask you a question - what is the misunderstanding between Cheng Yu and you?"
He Jingdong was stunned.
Su Tianli pulled Cheng Yu very forcefully.
Until he was pulled behind him.
So Su Tianli didn't see that Cheng Yu, who was protected by her, lowered his eyes and smiled gently.
Although Su Tianli asked He Jingdong questions, she did not give He Jingdong a chance to answer.
Su Tianli said bluntly: "Mr. He, there has never been any misunderstanding between you and Cheng Yu."
"If you want to clear up the so-called misunderstanding, you should probably go down and explain it to Cheng Xi."
"because--"
"The one who misunderstood you was Cheng Xi!"
He Jingdong was stunned.
Su Tianli looked at He Jingdong's stupidity and couldn't help laughing, "What's wrong, Mr. He? It's been more than half a year, you still can't figure it out?"
"At the beginning of the story, weren't you and Cheng Xi both trying to rely on Aunt Xu to achieve class advancement?"
"Unfortunately, with your conditions, Aunt Xu would never look down on you. Cheng Xi was forced to date Aunt Xu on your behalf. As expected, only girls understand girls best... Aunt Xu fell for the false tenderness and consideration of another girl."
"Cheng Xi was afraid that you couldn't keep Aunt Cheng under control, so she framed Aunt Xu and made her pregnant with your child."
"Cheng Xi is afraid that she can't keep you, so she wants to get pregnant with your child before Aunt Xu does..."
"It's a good thing you're stupid, so everything goes according to Cheng Xi's idea."
At this point, Su Tianli looked at He Jingdong's angry and unconvinced expression and smiled, "What's wrong, Mr. He? I told you that you are stupid, but you still don't accept it?"
"Then tell me, why didn't you think that all this was Cheng Xi's plan?"
"Do you dare to say that you never knew Cheng Xi's intentions?"
"If you insist that you know nothing, then you are stupid."
"If you knew about it early on, but you didn't stop Cheng Xi, and even pretended to be ignorant and accepted it all... then you are bad!"
"Don't even think about putting all the blame on Cheng Xi. You and Cheng Xi are birds of a feather, in cahoots with each other! So you can't blame Cheng Xi at all, because you are just as rotten as she is!"
"It's just that Cheng Xi got his comeuppance early..."
"Now, it's your turn to suffer retribution!"
"Of course, I think your current predicament is not worth mentioning at all - you know, if you hadn't schemed against Aunt Xu, you would have been like this!"
"He Jingdong, I hope your retribution is still on the way!" Su Tianli said word by word.
He Jingdong was very angry.
He stared at Su Tianli, his eyes almost spitting fire, "You!!!"
"Su Tianli you——"
His face was livid, and his fingers trembled as he pointed at Su Tianli, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence.
At this time, Cheng Yu came from behind Su Tianli and protected her with his backhand.
Cheng Yu said to He Jingdong: "Don't point at my wife, it's very rude. Also, you are not welcome in our house, please leave now!"
He Jingdong looked at Cheng Yu blankly.
I wondered what was going on?
When he knew that Cheng Yu was his biological son, he was happy.
So he thought Cheng Yu should also be ecstatic.
This represents the restoration of order in bloodline.
It also means that Cheng Yu will no longer be a wild child with an unknown father.
Then why is Cheng Yu like this...
It seems like he refuses to recognize him?
Just because he bullied and abused Cheng Yu when he was a child?
But didn’t he come here today just to apologize?
He Jingdong was anxious, "Cheng Yu!"
"If there is any misunderstanding between us, please talk it out!"
"This is why I came here today!"
"We can't keep doing this...unclear thing between us!"
"It's not clear?" Cheng Yu smiled, "Mr. He, wasn't what my wife said just now clear enough?"
"I think she is right, and what she said is exactly what I want to say..."
"But I still want to add a few words."
"Mr. He, are the problems between you and me, and between you and Aunt Xu...really caused by misunderstandings?"
"Of course not!"
"It's all caused by your morality and character from beginning to end!"
"You had bad intentions from the beginning. You deceived Aunt Xu in order to cross the social ladder!"
"When you were deceived by Cheng Xi, you thought Aunt Xu betrayed you..."
"But I really want to ask you a question - you and Aunt Xu were unmarried at the time, so even if she really did have an affair with another man, so what?"
"How dare you force her to marry you?"
"Ah... Come to think of it, your original intention of deceiving Aunt Xu was to lie on her and suck her blood."
"So in a sense, you are also a successful person."
"But the stolen things never belong to you," said Cheng Yu.
He Jingdong's expression froze.
He looked at Cheng Yu blankly, as if he couldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death, "Cheng Yu..."
Cheng Yu interrupted He Jingdong again, "Mr. He, if you want to delve into my background, I suggest you don't bother with it."
"Even if you come to me a hundred times, I will give the same answer - I have nothing to do with you, and I have nothing to do with Aunt Xu either."
"Don't say I'm your son anymore. If I were, why would I be living out here?"
"When I was a child, I went to your house to be a nanny. You kicked me a few meters away with your pointed skin, forced me to kneel on the ground and eat rotten food, and called me a bastard born of your cousin... Why was that?"
He Jingdong's face turned pale instantly, "It's been so many years, do you still remember?"
Cheng Yu sneered, "So you think that a long time has passed... Because I was still a child at that time, so I shouldn't bear a grudge."
"So I should be bullied by you for nothing, right?"
He Jingdong was anxious, "Cheng Yu! I, I didn't mean that..."
Cheng Yu ignored him and continued, "Okay, let's talk about what happened in the past few years."
"After He Wanqian broke this window paper two years ago, did you compensate me, He Jingdong?"
"Are you trying to say that you did take care of me because you made me your apprentice?"
“But He Jingdong, treating me as a slave is how you make up for it and take care of me?”
He Jingdong really wanted to explain.
But he opened his mouth.
Then I found myself unable to utter a word.
Cheng Yu said: "Because of your illegal operation, I fell off the scaffolding and suffered such serious injuries... He Jingdong, how did you treat me?"
"The factory leaders said they would treat me, but you said I had broken the Soviet-made machines in the factory! You also said that if the factory had to pay for my medical expenses, then I would be responsible for compensating for the damage to the machines..."
"He Jingdong, are you still human?" Cheng Yu asked again.
After Cheng Yu's review, He Jingdong was on the verge of collapse.
Cheng Yu asked again, "So, how come you have the nerve to come to me today?"
He Jingdong's face turned red again as if it was dripping with blood.
"Xiao Yu," He Jingdong pleaded, "We are not saints, so how can we not make mistakes? I know I have made mistakes, so I am... coming to you to admit my mistakes, right?"
"Stop!" Cheng Yu didn't want to hear He Jingdong say anything at all. "Just tell me, are you here to ask for the 5,000 yuan that He Wanqian lost?"
He Jingdong's face suddenly turned red!
"Xiao Yu! Xiao Yu, listen to daddy's explanation—"
"Dad, there's nothing I can do. There's really nothing I can do!"
"Dad has been incorruptible all these years, and has never taken a penny from the government!"
"If it weren't for this, I wouldn't... be unable to come up with this money to fill the hole for Wanxi!"
"Xiao Yu, you and Wan Xi are siblings, and from now on you... must support each other. You helped her this time, and if you encounter any difficulties in the future, she will also come to help you!"
"Xiao Yu, don't say you don't have money - Li Zhi took 4,000 yuan from me before the New Year! Otherwise, you can just take out this money."
"We can't do anything about it. The factory has issued a death order. If we can't pay back the 5,000 yuan this month, they will sue Wanxi in court! Wanxi is a young girl. She can't be ruined like this!"
As he spoke, He Jingdong begged Cheng Yu, "Xiao Yu, when Daddy has money in the future, Daddy will return this money to you, okay?"
Cheng Yu stared at He Jingdong for a while and smiled.
"First of all, you gave me the 4,000 yuan voluntarily. You don't have any proof that it was a loan, so why should I give it to you? At most, you can go to the police station to sue us, or go to court... I will listen to whatever the court decides."
"Secondly, have you ever thought about why the Disciplinary Committee suddenly investigated you? Yes, it's because I reported you! If you are not convinced, you can also report me. I, Cheng Yu, am willing to accept supervision from the public and the government!"
"Finally, I don't even recognize Aunt Xu, so how can I recognize you?"
"He Jingdong, you really... overestimate yourself." Cheng Yu said lightly.
Hearing this, He Jingdong was stunned.
"Cheng Yu! What the hell are you talking about?" He Jingdong roared, "So it was you who reported me... I'm your father! Do you hate me so much? Will you be satisfied only if I die?"
Cheng Yu sneered, "You are so right, I will only be satisfied if you die!"
"You!!!" He Jingdong's eyes were furious.
Cheng Yu said coldly: "Go away! Don't show up in front of me again."
"In my eyes, you are no different from a pile of shit, and the same goes for He Wanqian."
"Whenever you two danced near me, I felt sick and wanted to vomit..."
He Jingdong was so angry that he went crazy, "But I'm your father!"
Cheng Yu sneered, "Then go tell the world! Tell everyone how you are as a father. If everyone stands on your side, I won't have anything to say."
He Jingdong collapsed, "Then can't you give me a chance to change?"
"No!" Cheng Yu refused flatly, "Besides, you are not here to reform yourself. You know... Aunt Xu will definitely divorce you!"
"You are no longer an engineer. You have been kicked out of the Xu family. You have been deprived of all dignity. You are in poor health and can only receive a meager salary..."
"You are no longer in the limelight. You can no longer suck the blood of the Xu family, so you have to find someone else to suck blood from."
After a pause, Cheng Yu said softly: "This person is me."
"Is that right? He Jingdong?" Cheng Yu asked again.
He Jingdong is on the verge of collapse.
At this time——
The kid who was running errands for Cheng Yu came back with his hands full of breakfast, "Brother Cheng, this is for you!"
Cheng Yu took it with a smile, and said thank you politely. Then, as agreed, he took out a fried dough stick and an extra meat bun from the oil paper bag and handed them to the little brother together.
The little brother took it joyfully, thanked Cheng Yusu Tianli cheerfully, and ran away happily with the fried dough sticks and meat buns.
Cheng Yu looked at He Jingdong and said word by word: "He Jingdong, put away your fantasies and get out!"
"You must always remember—"
"Whether you really want to make amends or you are hypocritically asking for my forgiveness just to gain benefits from me, you should know that I will never forgive you until you die."
"Not only will I not forgive you, I will keep watching you and look for opportunities to attack you - just like you did to me."
"Go away!" Cheng Yu said, closing the gate.
He Jingdong stood there in a daze for a long time. He closed his eyes and shed tears of regret.
