Chapter 89 Chapter 89 The sandy watermelons in the northwest are so sweet...
Yes, Cheng Yu has already arrived in the Northwest, exhausted.
In his opinion, ever since lychee appeared in his life,
It seemed like his life had changed and his luck was getting better and better.
First, the illness was cured, and she took good care of him;
It was only natural for him to become a member of her team;
With her help, he got back all the injustices he had received in the past;
He made money, and a good amount;
He is incredibly clear and more proactive in doing what he wants to do.
Now--
With Lizhi's support, he was even able to travel thousands of miles to the Northwest to investigate his life experience!
Along the way, Cheng Yu relied on the transfer guide Lizhi wrote for him and her network of contacts to find her friends easily.
With the enthusiastic help of her friends, he was not only fed with countless delicacies, but also arrived at the satellite city comfortably and unimpeded.
Really not a single moment of time was wasted.
After arriving at the satellite city, he was able to enter the hospital smoothly thanks to the protection of Lizhi's friends.
Of course, this is also because the Health City Hospital is open to the general public.
Jiang Yao has been transferred to the general ward.
Wanting to visit him, it is no longer like when he was in critical condition and was admitted to the intensive care unit. Su Tianli has to submit a report and apply if she wants to see him.
So Cheng Yu arrived at the door of the single room smoothly.
The door is open.
The nanny who was inseparable from Xu Jiaxi was now guarding the door.
Not far away, Xu Jiaxi’s two bodyguards were also standing not far away.
Seeing Cheng Yu, the nanny's eyes lit up.
The two bodyguards also looked over at the right time.
However, none of them stopped Cheng Yu.
In fact, perhaps because Cheng Yu's appearance was too similar to Xu Jiaxi's, although Xu Jiaxi did not have a very good feeling about Cheng Yu, the nanny and bodyguards were still nice to Cheng Yu.
Just like that, Cheng Yu stood at the door of the ward for a while.
He clearly saw the conversation between a man and a woman in the room:
The middle-aged man lying on the hospital bed wearing a hospital gown, looking sick but still unable to conceal his handsome appearance, was naturally Jiang Yao.
"...So, you are the editor Hai Jiao?" Jiang Yao asked in surprise.
Xu Jiaxi asked with a smile: "Why? Is it because I don't look like him? Or... I am not worthy?"
Cheng Yu was stunned.
In his impression, Xu Jiaxi was an extremely cold person.
Cheng Yu knew that he looked a lot like her.
So, when He Wanqian pointed out that he was actually Xu Jiaxi's biological son,
After Cheng Yu stared at Xu Jiaxi's face for about ten minutes, he agreed.
What followed was his own panic, contrasted with Xu Jiaxi's indifference and He Jingdong's hypocrisy.
But no matter what, it was the first time that Cheng Yu saw Xu Jiaxi like this - although she was already in her forties, the innocent smile on her face and the cheerful and lively tone of her voice...
She looks just like a bright girl who has seen her idol.
Cheng Yu couldn't help but look at Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yaozheng smiled and said to Xu Jiaxi: "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, it's mainly because we are rough people who rarely see cultured people, it's a bit rare!"
The smile on Xu Jiaxi's face faded, "Brother Jiang, can you not call me sister-in-law? I have a name."
Jiang Yao was startled, and immediately changed his words, "Sorry, Haijiao Editor."
Xu Jiaxi smiled and pursed her lips.
Cheng Yu stood at the door, and just by hearing these few words, he understood two things:
First of all, the relationship between Jiang Yao and Xu Jiaxi is rather unfamiliar, and it seems like Xu Jiaxi is the one who is taking the initiative?
Then why did Xu Jiaxi rush over so anxiously when he heard that Jiang Yao was sick?
And why, as soon as He Jingdong heard that Xu Jiaxi had come to see the sick Zhou Yao, he rushed over to catch the adulterer?
Secondly, Cheng Yu only now found out that Xu Jiaxi actually has a job!
He thought Xu Jiaxi was idle at home every day.
In the ward, Jiang Yao couldn't help but say, "Brother...Mr. Haijiao, I really want to interview you. Are you really the editor-in-chief of Yesterday Weekly?"
Xu Jiaxi smiled and said, "It's genuine."
Jiang Yao asked curiously, "I've always been curious, why did you name the publication 'Yesterday'? Normally speaking... shouldn't it be 'Tomorrow's Weekly'?"
Xu Jiaxi chuckled, "The name Tomorrow Weekly feels like looking forward to the future. Yesterday Weekly implies reminiscing about the past."
Jiang Yao nodded repeatedly, "Indeed, sometimes I miss my youth and college days..."
Then he changed the subject, "You have to run a weekly magazine, publish it every week... and the content of the publication is so large, your magazine must be quite large, right?"
Xu Jiaxi avoided answering and said with a smile: "Just tell me, how is the quality of the weekly magazine? You are welcome to give me your suggestions."
Jiang Yao praised: "Great! It's really great! Mr. Haijiao, you don't know, this publication has very rich content, the employees in our satellite city like it very much..."
Xu Jiaxi asked: "Do you like it?"
Jiang Yao, "I like it! Of course I like it!"
“It feels like every little column is something that I’m very interested in.”
"I even paid for a subscription...it must have been twenty years! And I have collected every issue."
"It's a pity that some of the journals were borrowed by colleagues and then lost..."
Xu Jiaxi quickly asked with concern: "Which issues are lost? Tell me, I will find a way to get them back for you."
Jiang Yao was surprised, "Is it really possible?"
Xu Jiaxi, "Nothing is impossible."
Jiang Yao thought for a moment, "The third issue in May 1968, the first issue in December 1970, and the first issue in February 1974."
Xu Jiaxi nodded seriously, "Okay, I'll make a note of it. Don't worry, I'll find a way to solve it..."
At this time——
Jiang Yao saw the young man standing at the door of the ward - Cheng Yu.
As soon as he saw Cheng Yu, Jiang Yao subconsciously looked at Xu Jiaxi who was sitting in front of his bed, and couldn't help but look at Cheng Yu...
At this time, Xu Jiaxi also followed Jiang Yao's gaze and looked over here.
Do you see that the person coming is Cheng Yu?
Xu Jiaxi was shocked and frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"
Before Cheng Yu could speak,
Jiang Yao pointed at Cheng Yu and said to Xu Jiaxi with a smile: "He is your and Jingdong's child, right? Although I haven't seen the child yet, I recognized him as soon as I saw him!"
"The child looks like you!"
Then he looked at Cheng Yu carefully and nodded repeatedly, "He looks a little like Jingdong!"
As he spoke, Jiang Yao happily stretched out his hand towards Cheng Yu, "Xiao He! Come on! Xiao He, come in quickly!"
Cheng Yu smiled and walked into the ward, "Hello, Uncle Jiang."
"Okay, okay," Jiang Yao asked him with a smile, "Why didn't you come with your mother the other day?"
He thought that the child came with Xu Jiaxi.
Cheng Yu looked at Xu Jiaxi again.
Xu Jiaxi frowned and looked at Cheng Yu.
As long as you have some connection with He Jingdong,
Whether it is an object, a person, or just a surname...
It will also cause Xu Jiaxi to feel physiological disgust.
When we were setting up stalls in Dadadi before,
Xu Jiaxi still has some good feelings towards Cheng Yu.
That’s because Su Tianli is here.
Now? ? ?
Xu Jiaxi pursed her lips and turned her head away.
Cheng Yu said to Jiang Yao very seriously: "Hello, Uncle Jiang, my last name is not He, but Cheng. My name is Cheng Yu, Cheng means procedure, and Yu means automatic healing when injured."
Hearing this, Jiang Yao was stunned.
He looked at Xu Jiaxi in shock, his eyes full of confusion.
"You..." Jiang Yao looked at Cheng Yu, then looked at Xu Jiaxi blankly, "You..."
"You guys—" Cheng Yu said word by word: "Uncle Jiang, Aunt Xu didn't know I was coming."
After hearing this, Jiang Yao was even more shocked, "What?"
——The young man in front of me looks exactly like Xu Jiaxi!
But why does this child call Xu Jiaxi "Auntie"?
Could it be that he is not the son of Xu Jiaxi and He Jingdong???
Cheng Yu explained: "Uncle Jiang, I am Su Tianli's friend. I came here today... to find you and Aunt Xu to verify some things."
When Jiang Yao heard Su Tianli's name, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Su Tianli? Nurse Su!"
After saying that, Jiang Yao asked about Su Tianli's recent situation again, and then nodded, "Okay! Okay! It's good to know that you are all well."
Xu Jiaxi finally understood why Cheng Yu appeared here.
She originally wanted to ridicule Su Tianli in front of Cheng Yu - when she asked Su Tianli about Jiang Yao's recent situation, Su Tianli was still very polite!
As a result, Su Tianli asked Cheng Yu to come over.
However, when the words came to his lips, Xu Jiaxi swallowed them back.
First of all, Su Tianli and Cheng Yu had a closer relationship. This could be seen from the night when multiple departments jointly enforced the law to investigate Da Di. Cheng Yu could abandon her as his biological mother and insisted on taking Su Tianli away...
This proves that when danger and accidents occur, Cheng Yu’s first choice is Su Tianli.
Secondly, Xu Jiaxi has an inexplicable trust in Su Tianli.
She believed that since Su Tianli did not tell her about Jiang Yao, she would not tell Cheng Yu either.
so,
Xu Jiaxi understood—Cheng Yu was coming for her.
So Xu Jiaxi stood up and said, "Xiao Cheng, come out with me."
After saying that, she nodded to Jiang Yao and left the ward with Cheng Yu.
Jiang Yao looked at the backs of the mother and son and fell into deep thought.
Xu Jiaxi brought Cheng Yu to the corridor, suppressed the irritability in his heart, lowered his voice and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Cheng Yu answered truthfully: "He Jingdong paid me to come here."
Xu Jiaxi was startled, and suddenly opened her eyes wide, "What did you say?"
She looked around angrily, but did not see He Jingdong.
"Lizhi asked me to come here first," Cheng Yu did not hide it from Xu Jiaxi, "...I also wanted to come here on my own to find out what's going on."
Then he said to Xu Jiaxi: "Aunt Xu, I hope to hear the truth about my life experience from you first."
"If you don't want to talk to me, I'll go ask Uncle Jiang."
Xu Jiaxi said angrily: "What does this have to do with Jiang Yao!"
Cheng Yu turned and left.
"Where are you going?" Xu Jiaxi asked in a low voice.
Cheng Yu, "I'll go ask Uncle Jiang."
"Stop!" Xu Jiaxi said angrily.
But Cheng Yu didn't listen to her and continued walking towards the ward.
Xu Jiaxi winked at the bodyguard not far away.
They hurried over and blocked Cheng Yu's way.
Cheng Yu turned around and looked at Xu Jiaxi, "Unless you stay here and stay with Uncle Jiang until He Jingdong arrives."
"To be honest, I do care about the truth a little bit - because I want to know what heavenly law I have violated to be treated like this by you after coming to the human world."
"But I don't really care how the truth is told in a tragic way."
"I just feel sorry for Uncle Jiang - this has nothing to do with him, right? But this is Uncle Jiang's territory, and Uncle Jiang has a terminal illness! His release from the intensive care unit only means that he is temporarily out of danger, not that he has recovered."
"In a few days, you will have a falling out with He Jingdong in front of Uncle Jiang. Have you ever thought about whether Uncle Jiang, who has been innocently implicated, will feel embarrassed?" Cheng Yu said word by word.
Xu Jiaxi's face suddenly turned pale.
Cheng Yu was already walking in the opposite direction.
Xu Jiaxi called him again, "Where are you going?"
Cheng Yu replied: "I know you get annoyed just looking at me... To be honest, I get annoyed just looking at you. Since you can't talk to me properly, and you don't allow me to ask Uncle Jiang."
"No problem. I'll go to the 109 Youth Farm first. It would be nice to visit the farm first."
"I will come to watch your performance after He Jingdong arrives." Cheng Yu said word by word.
Xu Jiaxi said anxiously: "But the 109 Youth Farm is quite far from here."
Cheng Yu ignored her.
He only said it once.
Seeing him walk away without even looking back, Xu Jiaxi was a little angry, thinking how could this kid not know how to give in to her...
She called out to him, "Cheng Yu, stop!"
Cheng Yu seemed unaware.
Seeing that the tall and long-legged Cheng Yu had already reached the stairs, Xu Jiaxi couldn't help but complain, "Why aren't you as likable as Xiao Su?"
Seeing that Cheng Yu ignored her,
Xu Jiaxi said angrily: "Cheng Yu, stop right there! Stop! I promise you, I'll tell you..."
She was so angry that she quickly waved at the bodyguard.
The two bodyguards rushed down the stairs quickly and blocked Cheng Yu's way.
Cheng Yu was very annoyed. He looked up and glared at Xu Jiaxi, his eyes full of undisguised hatred. "What on earth do you want to do? Do you really want to embarrass me, or them?"
Xu Jiaxi: …
How to say it,
Because Xu Jiaxi hated He Jingdong, she also didn't love He Jingdong's children.
She used to hate He Wanqian, but now she hates Cheng Yu equally.
But she never seemed to realize that Cheng Yu hated her and He Jingdong.
Seeing the young man who looked very similar to himself, Xu Jiaxi said blankly, "...I'm sorry."
Cheng Yu was stunned.
After a moment, he retracted the hostility in his eyes and said uncontrollably: "Your apology only applies now."
"So when will you tell me clearly?" Cheng Yu said lightly.
Xu Jiaxi thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll ask them to take you to the guesthouse first - I've booked three rooms there, you go wait for me first, I'll go over and explain to Jiang Yao, and I'll be back about half an hour later."
Cheng Yu nodded.
Just like that, a bodyguard accompanied Cheng Yu and left first.
Xu Jiaxi turned and walked into Jiang Yao's ward.
She looked at Jiang Yao, who was in his forties and in the prime of his life, but looked sickly with gray hair on his temples. Her eyes suddenly turned red. "I'm sorry."
Jiang Yao looked at Xu Jiaxi quietly and said in a gentle voice: "Jiaxi, if there is any misunderstanding with your family...while everyone is still here, clarify it as soon as possible and resolve this misunderstanding."
When Xu Jiaxi heard the words "the person is still there", she couldn't help but burst into tears, "You are right! So I... Brother Jiang, I... If you hadn't saved me, you wouldn't have ended up like this, I, I..."
Jiang Yao smiled calmly and said, "What situation have I fallen into? I am doing well now! You see, I am doing my favorite physics and studying aerospace propulsion, which I am best at... All of this is the best arrangement."
Xu Jiaxi looked at Jiang Yao quietly and said word by word: "Jiang Yao, in fact, you have always known my feelings."
"But you didn't want to destroy my reputation, you didn't want to destroy my family... You even felt that you couldn't give me happiness, so you pushed me away again and again."
"I was also afraid that you would be sad, so I...have been secretly hiding my feelings for you."
At this point, Xu Jiaxi took a deep breath and continued, "Cheng Yu just told me that He Jingdong will come in two days..."
"I roughly know why he came here."
"Sorry, Jiang Yao, he might be here to catch you cheating - he always felt that there was something going on between you and me." Xu Jiaxi said calmly.
Jiang Yao's eyes widened in shock.
He stared at Xu Jiaxi blankly.
After a long while, he asked softly, "These years... you haven't had a good life, have you?"
Xu Jiaxi nodded with tears in her eyes.
Jiang Yao looked at Xu Jiaxi, his eyes slowly turning red, and asked softly, "Why didn't that kid just now have the surname He or Xu?"
"He said...his name is Cheng Yu?"
"Jia Xi, tell me, why is his last name Cheng?"
"Could it be that——"
As he spoke, Jiang Yao's voice began to tremble.
Xu Jiaxi's tears flowed down her cheeks. "I always thought I gave birth to a daughter. He Jingdong named her He Wanqian, with a "Wan" (female) next to it, and a "Xi" (east, west, south, north) with a "cao" (grass) on the side..."
"Until a year ago, He Wanqian suddenly said that she was not my child, but Cheng Yu was."
"Before that, Cheng Yu's mother was Cheng Xi."
Jiang Yao opened his eyes wide.
Xu Jiaxi laughed bitterly, "Jiang Yao, you also think it's ridiculous, right?"
"Cheng Xi and I were hospitalized and gave birth on the same day..."
"According to He Wanqian, I gave birth to a boy and Cheng Xi gave birth to a girl."
"Cheng Xi had a difficult labor and died after giving birth to a daughter."
"He Wanqian said that Cheng Xi's sister Cheng Yue, who was only 13 years old at the time, was afraid that Cheng Xi's unmarried daughter would be born without anyone to take care of her. So she swapped the two children and gave my son to Cheng Xi's brother Cheng Ke and his wife to raise."
"Where is Cheng Yue now?" Jiang Yao asked.
Xu Jiaxi was smiling, but her expression was cold. "Cheng Yue passed away ten years ago."
"He Wanqian also said that she had heard Cheng Yue talk about the child swap ten years ago, but she was still young at the time and didn't understand what she meant."
"She suddenly remembered it a year ago, so she wanted to correct it." Xu Jiaxi said sarcastically.
Hearing this, Jiang Yao frowned tightly, "What did He Jingdong say?"
Xu Jiaxi sneered, "Of course he knows nothing!"
"He said he didn't know who Cheng Xi's husband was. After He Wanqian told the 'truth', he said He Wanqian was very pitiful and was his childhood sweetheart. He should take good care of the deceased's child out of both emotion and reason..."
"As for Cheng Yu——He Jingdong said that Cheng Yu is already an adult..."
Jiang Yao's face turned pale, and he asked again, "So what are you going to do now?"
Xu Jiaxi showed a desperate sneer, "He is coming to catch me, what else can I do?"
She took a deep breath.
Then he said to Jiang Yao: "Brother Jiang, I'm sorry that I might have implicated you this time."
Jiang Yao nodded and said calmly, "I know." He then asked, "Are you sure Cheng Yu... is really your child?"
Xu Jiaxi sneered, "Whether it is or not, it makes people feel disgusted——"
"Jia Xi!" Jiang Yao said in a low voice, "How can you say that about an innocent child?"
"It's not that he had to come to the world, but that you had to give birth to him!"
"I don't believe you didn't have the means to get rid of the child, but you didn't! You gave birth to the child, so you should be responsible for the child."
"If the child was really replaced and he is not living well, you should compensate him well!"
"I mean—"
"Emotional compensation!"
Xu Jiaxi shook her head desperately, "I can't do it!"
"you--"
Jiang Yao only had time to say the word "you" before Xu Jiaxi ran away crying.
He had no choice but to press hard on his aching heart with his hands, shook his head, and sighed.
Xu Jiaxi hurried back to the guesthouse.
She looked at her watch, feeling extremely anxious - she and Cheng Yu had agreed to be back in ten minutes, but an hour had passed since she confessed to Jiang Yao.
Cheng Yu is a guy with a very bad temper. Could he run away in anger?
It was not until Xu Jiaxi pushed open the door of the guesthouse room that she clearly saw Cheng Yu sitting on a chair, with his head lowered, staring in a daze at a plate of sliced watermelon.
The anxiety that was hovering in Xu Jiaxi's heart was finally relieved.
The room was filled with the sweet smell of watermelon.
Xu Jiaxi suddenly remembered what Jiang Yao had said just now: "It's not that he had to come to the human world, but that you had to give birth to him"...
I don't know why.
She suddenly felt that the young man in front of her didn't seem so annoying anymore.
Xu Jiaxi tried to lighten the mood, "Who sent this watermelon? It looks delicious."
Cheng Yu slowly raised his head and looked at Xu Jiaxi with pity and complicated eyes.
Just now he went to the front desk of the guesthouse to borrow a phone to call Su Tianli who was far away in Guangzhou.
Then--
He talked on the phone with Lizhi for a whole hour!
Lizhi said that she accidentally got the diary of the late Cheng Xi.
Then she told him everything very important... without missing a word!
Lizhi also said that she would take the diary and catch the flight to Satellite City tonight.
Is this a plate of watermelon?
It was given to Cheng Yu by the receptionist at the guesthouse—because the receptionist was also Lizhi’s friend.
This was not the time Cheng Yu and Lizhi had agreed to call.
Cheng Yu just mentioned the name of litchi to the receptionist with an attitude of giving it a try.
The receptionist was delighted when she heard this. She kept asking him about Lizhi's recent situation for a long time, and then agreed to let him borrow her phone. When the call was connected, the receptionist excitedly talked to Lizhi for a while before handing the phone to Cheng Yu. She also enthusiastically cut a large plate of watermelon for him after he finished the call...
It was because of this that Cheng Yu found out about the relationship between Xu Jiaxi and He Jingdong!
However, what Cheng Yu wanted to know now was something else.
"The watermelon was sent by the waiter," he replied. "I want to know why He Jingdong thinks you and Jiang Yao are having an affair?"
