Chapter 99 Chapter 99 Desert Melon No. 7 (Part 2)
This old couple are Xu Jiaxi's parents.
As soon as they entered the room, they walked towards Xu Jiaxi without even looking at He Jingdong.
And Xu Jiaxi stood with Cheng Yu again.
When the old man saw Cheng Yu, his eyes widened in shock.
The old lady also gasped.
The two old men kept looking at Cheng Yu.
They looked at Cheng Yu, who was wearing a loose cotton coat but still looked thin and tall.
Looking at Cheng Yu's hands covered with old scars,
Looking at his appearance that is almost identical to Xu Jiaxi...
After a while, Mrs. Xu choked up and said to Mr. Xu: "This child looks like Jiashu when he was young... Exactly the same!"
Old Master Xu also stared at Cheng Yu's face and nodded repeatedly.
——Xu Jiashu is Xu Jiaxi's elder brother, an elite in the Air Force, who died while performing a test flight mission. He was not married when he died, so he had no offspring.
Xu Jiaxi wiped her tears and asked her parents, "Dad, Mom! Why are you here?"
Old Mrs. Xu rolled her eyes at He Jingdong, then glared at her daughter angrily and said, "Outsiders are using our flag to ask for tickets and rush to the Northwest to catch an adulterer!"
"You, on the other hand, kept your mouth shut! You suffered such a great injustice, but you didn't say a word!"
Old Mrs. Xu started to cry, "If your father hadn't felt something was wrong, he would have taken me with him and we would have dropped all our work and rushed here..."
"If I hadn't just been standing outside and heard the whole thing—"
"Xu Jiaxi, are you not going to tell us?"
When He Jingdong suddenly heard the word "outsider", he felt as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water on him and he gasped in shock from the cold.
Xu Jiaxi threw herself into her mother's arms and cried, "Mom, I don't want you and my dad to feel bad! I don't want you to lose face because of me! And you are busy with work..."
Old Mrs. Xu cried, "No matter how busy we are at work, we will always have time to seek justice for you! Jiaxi, in your generation, you are the only child left for your parents!"
——Xu Jiaxi has three brothers and sisters in her generation. She has two older brothers. The eldest brother Xu Jiashu died young, and the second brother Xu Jiazhen also died in the self-defense counterattack a few years ago.
The second sister-in-law was so sad that she became dazed.
Sometimes she would stand under the bridge and gaze at the deep and wide river for a long time in a daze.
I accidentally cut my wrist while peeling an apple...
The two elders could not bear to see their daughter-in-law indulge in grief, and they felt that she was still young and did not want her to be a widow, so they finally persuaded her to marry someone else.
Fortunately, my second sister-in-law gave birth to a son and a daughter for my second brother, so he can still enjoy the care of his parents.
Xu Jiaxi was sad again when she heard this. "My two brothers are very successful, but I am the only one who is still alive... I can only tolerate my parents' anger."
Old Master Xu was angry, "Listen to what you are saying! Jiaxi, do you want to piss us off to death?"
The old lady also scolded Xu Jiaxi, "Your father and I are used to separation and death, and we have never made any requests to you... We just want you to live well, but why is it so difficult to fulfill even such a small request?"
Xu Jiaxi bit her lower lip with tears in her eyes.
She closed her eyes, then opened them again, took a deep breath, and asked the two elders, "Dad, Mom, how long have you been here?"
Old Mrs. Xu glanced at Su Tianli and said to Xu Jiaxi, "Start from when you let that little girl read the diary."
Xu Jiaxi thought, this is fine.
Although it was a farce,
Fortunately, my parents listened to it completely and there was no need for me to repeat it.
"Dad, Mom, I want to divorce He Jingdong!" Xu Jiaxi said word by word.
The two elders nodded in agreement, "Divorce! We must divorce!"
Xu Jiaxi was stunned and cried out in surprise, "Dad, Mom, do you... really agree?"
To be honest, given the nature of her current job, there is no difference between staying in Guangzhou and returning to Beijing.
But Xu Jiaxi would rather endure staying with He Jingdong, who had disgusted her for twenty years.
I won't go back to Beijing.
The biggest reason is that she doesn't want her failed marriage to bring shame to her parents.
After all, most of the children from the big courtyards are very promising.
And she, Xu Jiaxi...
Because of He Jingdong, I have become so humble that I have fallen into the dust.
Old Master Xu said angrily, "I hate you for not loving yourself!"
"The 'self-love' I'm talking about is probably the opposite of the 'self-love' you have in mind!"
"When I say self-love, I mean your independent personality! You have to love yourself, Jiaxi!"
"But the self-love you have in mind is your chastity!"
"Jia Xi, when you were in college, it was already the New China era. Why did you still treat chastity as a foot binding to restrain yourself?"
"Xu Jiaxi!!! Have you forgotten that after your second brother passed away, your mother and I treated your second sister-in-law as our own daughter, helped her find a date, and even sent her off in a grand ceremony?"
"Why do you get yourself into trouble when you come here?"
"Chastity has never been a tool to measure a woman's morality!"
"Xu Jiaxi! You actually endured until now before filing for divorce? Where is your courage? I... I am really going to be mad to death by you, such an unfilial son!" Old Master Xu was furious.
Old Mrs. Xu also said sadly: "Jia Xi, you have so many things in your heart? Why didn't you tell mom earlier?"
"If mom knew from the beginning that you didn't want to marry him, we definitely wouldn't have held your wedding!"
"Son, how could you have kept such a big thing secret from us for more than 20 years..."
"What kind of life have you been leading for the past twenty years!" The old lady beat her head and stamped her feet.
"No!" He Jingdong suddenly said excitedly, "I don't agree to divorce!"
The whole audience was silent.
Mr. Xu asked coldly, "You don't agree to divorce? Why do you disagree?"
He Jingdong's face was pale, but he still tried to say: "Jia Xi and I are husband and wife... We, we have a child!"
"There was a misunderstanding between us..."
"It was because of Cheng Xi's deception that Jia Xi and I had a misunderstanding."
"Dad, Mom! Let's clear up the misunderstanding," He Jingdong said with a trembling voice, "Jiaxi and I will be a loving couple in the future!"
Xu Jiaxi said coldly: "He Jingdong, isn't what you just said clear enough? Isn't it enough to clear up the misunderstanding?"
"What I meant by clearing up the misunderstanding was that I finally understood why you have always hated me so much, how you and Cheng Xi harmed me, and how you replaced my child..."
"For me, all misunderstandings have now been resolved."
"So I want to divorce you. I don't want to be entangled with a jerk like you anymore!"
Then Xu Jiaxi asked again, "What about you? What do you mean by resolving the misunderstanding?"
He Jingdong said awkwardly: "Jia Xi, I, I love you..."
Hearing this, Xu Jiaxi laughed angrily, "You love me? You don't even believe it yourself, right?"
"You love me, so you replace my child?"
"You love me, so you treated me coldly for twenty-three years?"
"Is this your love for me?" Xu Jiaxi asked sarcastically.
He Jingdong said angrily: "I'm telling the truth! Why can't you just believe me?"
"I feel inferior because I love you too much..."
"I actually just want you to give in to me."
"I have been treating you coldly just to maintain my ridiculous self-esteem! Only in this way can I show that you and I are equal. I have been waiting for you to bend down, which can prove that you love me and respect me. But Jiaxi, I, I have never waited for you!"
Speaking of this, He Jingdong burst into tears.
He took a deep breath and continued, "Jia Xi, now I know I was wrong."
"Please give me another chance, please?"
"We have been together for 23 years, and we have a foundation of love..."
"I have always loved you! Otherwise, I wouldn't have remained chaste for you for more than twenty years."
"Jia Xi, let's stop making trouble, okay?"
"Let's live a good life from now on..." He Jingdong pleaded.
Xu Jiaxi sneered, "He Jingdong, do you want to listen to what you are saying?"
"You actually think that there is a foundation of love between you and me?"
"But we have just been reconciling and clarifying the accounts. Didn't you connect with Cheng Xi to deceive me?"
"Do I have any emotional foundation with you?"
"Even if there was, it was Cheng Xi who was acting... What were you doing when Cheng Xi was racking her brains to write parallel couplets and neat sentences with me?"
"You actually said that you and I have a romantic relationship!" Xu Jiaxi said in disbelief.
He Jingdong's face first turned red, then turned pale in an instant.
"I won't divorce you," he pleaded in a low voice, "... Jiaxi, I know I was wrong."
"Will you give me another chance?"
"I won't test you again in the future... Let's live a good life with Xiaoyu, okay?"
Xu Jiaxi was unmoved, "Not good."
He Jingdong closed his eyes, then opened them again, looking at Xu Jiaxi affectionately, "Jiaxi, I know you are angry now. So you are not very rational. It doesn't matter, I will wait for you to calm down first..."
Xu Jiaxi said expressionlessly, "Divorce."
He Jingdong also shook his head firmly, "No!"
Old Master Xu became impatient and yelled at Xu Jiaxi, "Xu Jiaxi! You don't have to bother with this kind of person! I'll just arrange for someone to handle the divorce procedures for you!"
He Jingdong mustered up the courage to say, "Dad, Jiaxi and I are a legal couple. As long as I don't agree to divorce, we can't get divorced."
Old Master Xu snorted coldly: "Just wait and see!"
Then--
The old man's eyes fell on Cheng Yu.
At this time, Old Lady Xu had already held Cheng Yu's hand, and with tears in her eyes, she kept looking at Cheng Yu and asked, "Child, what's your name?"
"Cheng Yu." Cheng Yu replied, "The Cheng of procedure can cure all the unhappy Yu."
As he spoke, he pulled Su Tianli over and introduced her to Old Lady Su. "She is my girlfriend, her name is Su Tianli. Su means Suzhou, and Tianli means very sweet lychees."
"Hello, Grandpa Xu, hello, Grandma Xu." Su Tianli greeted them generously.
Old Mrs. Xu looked at Su Tianli in surprise.
Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu looked at each other and thought in unison: This girl is so pretty!
However, out of caution, the old man and the old lady just nodded to Su Tianli.
Old Madam Xu asked Cheng Yu, "Son, let's change our surname to Xu, okay?"
Before Cheng Yu could speak——
He Jingdong has already expressed his objection, "Mom, that won't work! Xiaoyu is my son, he has to have my last name, He."
Old Madam Xu snorted coldly, "...He is your son? Then why did you switch him with that illegitimate daughter?"
He Jingdong: …
Cheng Yu said word by word: "First of all, I will not change my last name. I will keep my last name Cheng."
"Secondly, I have no father and no mother!" He became so emotional that his voice broke.
Everyone looked at each other.
Old Madam Xu said to Cheng Yu earnestly, "Xiao Yu, that Cheng Xi has caused great harm to your mother. Do you still want to take her last name?"
Cheng Yu's eyes were red.
At this moment, his emotions were surging and he was speechless.
Su Tianli explained at the right time, "Grandma Xu, first of all, Cheng Yu did not take the surname Cheng Xi. He wanted to keep this surname to commemorate his real adoptive mother, Cheng Yue."
As soon as these words came out——
Everyone suddenly realized.
Come to think of it, it makes sense.
The love-hate relationship between Xu Jiaxi, He Jingdong and Cheng Xi has always captured everyone's attention.
No one cares how Cheng Yu grew up.
No one cared about the sixteen-year-old girl who dropped out of school to raise Cheng Yu.
Except for Cheng Yu, no one would remember her, or even know her name...
Cheng Yu was very grateful to Su Tianli.
Because she served as his substitute when he was too excited and unable to speak.
So when he looked at her, his eyes were filled not only with tears, but also with gratitude and attachment.
Su Tianli continued, "Secondly, Cheng Yu doesn't care about your recognition of his relationship with him."
"His biological father is certainly not a human being, but his biological mother is not a good person either."
"Grandpa Xu, Grandma Xu, I know, maybe you want to say a few words to defend Aunt Xu."
"But in Cheng Yu's eyes, Aunt Xu can no longer clear herself from blame."
"It was she who decided to let Cheng Yu come to this world to suffer..."
"She was also the one who decided to ignore Cheng Yu when he was sick!"
"Even though she had no idea about He Jingdong's child swap, she still chose to treat Cheng Yu with cold violence after she found out that Cheng Yu was her biological child."
"It was all her own choice."
"In that case, please consider that Cheng Yu has died in the past!"
"Just like Aunt Xu will not forgive He Jingdong, Cheng Yu will not forgive them either."
While Su Tianli was saying this, Jiang Yao was winking at her desperately.
Su Tianli knew that Jiang Yao was warning her: After all, they are Xiao Cheng's grandparents! How can you speak to them so rudely? Do you still want to be with Xiao Cheng in the future?
Su Tianli was not afraid at all.
She said this just to speak up for Cheng Yu.
Xu Jiaxi's cruelty and indifference once really existed.
That was the sharpest weapon that killed the helpless Cheng Yu a year ago!
Just because Xu Jiaxi has apologized and regretted it, Cheng Yu has to accept it.
Besides, Su Tianli was not afraid that the Xu family would make things difficult for her.
——Because she and Cheng Yu are just in a relationship and she has no plans to get married in the short term.
What's more, they both have their own futures and it is highly likely that they will not be together in the future.
So what does she have to be afraid of?
Now she just wants to seek true justice for Cheng Yu!
At this point, Cheng Yu finally broke down in tears.
He was glad that he once again received the unreserved favor from Litchi!
With the preference for lychee,
He already owns the whole world.
There is no need to care about Xu Jiaxi and the Xu family anymore...
Cheng Yu broke free from Old Lady Xu's hand.
Then--
He held Lizhi's hand tightly and ran out of the ward with her.
Xu Jiaxi shouted anxiously: "Xiao Yu!"
He Jingdong also became anxious, "Cheng Yu! Where are you going..."
But Cheng Yu had already run away with Litchi.
