Chapter 64 Chapter 64
Hearing Jiang Sui's breathing suddenly become heavy on the other end of the phone, Lin Shengxi felt that the matter must be complicated. After all, this was how his father drove his sister-in-law away last time.
But that shouldn’t be the case. Brother Jiang Yan is already dead and the child is born.
What's the purpose of giving the card to someone now? It can't be because he follows his brother.
Lin Shengxi's heart suddenly skipped a beat, remembering how happy he'd been to go to London with his brother from time to time these past few days. He asked nervously, "Brother, what happened?"
The only answer he got was a busy tone.
“…”
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Sui's fingers trembled slightly. When he called Yueqing again, the phone was turned off and reloaded. At this time, the physiological reaction caused by the psychological ups and downs was beyond his control. His body began to tremble slightly, and his thoughts became a mess.
The people he had wanted to hold in his hands and tie to his side left one after another, disappearing after he had cut himself open from head to toe.
But he clearly hadn't tied it up yet.
He just said one sentence, just one sentence.
She would rush back to China even if she had to travel day and night to meet Jiang Hechang again.
Why?
The person he wanted to possess slipped away from his sight without him expecting it. He couldn't control himself from thinking the worst, and even... wanted to tie her back at all costs, tie her to his side, so that he could look at her anytime and anywhere, and touch her whenever he wanted.
At this moment, Jiang Suizhi no longer remembered what the psychologist had said about restraining himself. He was so determined to bring Yue Qing back and get to the bottom of it.
What on earth did he do wrong? How did he offend her?
Obviously, he had given up on himself. He had tried his best to become as awkward as Jiang Yan.
Isn’t that enough?
Jiang's breathing became heavy, his eyes gradually turned red, and his whole body felt numb and painful as if he had been bitten by insects and ants. The pain was so severe that his face turned pale and his forehead was sweating.
He pinched his palm again, digging deep into his flesh. Blood dripped onto the carpet. It took him a while to remember the plane ticket.
He barely regained his sanity, opened the medicine box, took two pills, picked up his coat and walked out.
Jiang Hechang is still Jiang Hechang.
But he is not Jiang Yan.
Even if Yueqing goes to the ends of the earth this time, he will bring the person back.
Jiang Suizhi didn't even know how he got on the plane back home. In order to make himself look better, he took a lot of suppressant drugs before arriving at the airport. However, all drugs have side effects, and after taking too many drugs, his mind became very confused.
In addition, I hadn't had a good rest in the past few days, so I was in a nightmare after getting on the plane.
He dreamed that on the day his mother died, the community helped to send his mother for cremation. He returned to his cold home with his mother's urn and tried to cook for himself like his mother did. However, he fainted from stomach pain because the food was not cooked thoroughly. The food was not discovered until the next day when relatives who came to visit found it. When he was fighting with those relatives for the house, his mother's urn was knocked to the ground and kicked around like he was when he was young.
He dreamed that in order to have enough food to eat, he took the initiative to help the grandparents downstairs pick up waste to sell, but he had a fight with a beggar on the street over the same bottle, and was finally thrown into a trash can by the beggars. The trash can was stinking and full of flies. He almost fainted and it took him a lot of effort to crawl out. He returned home with a bruised face and learned to clean the wound by himself, but he had a high fever for many days because of this.
He wanted his mother to hug him like before, but he was extremely disgusted by the smell of his own body.
So from then on he started to act strangely, desperately longing to be comforted and hugged, but extremely hating being touched by others.
But in order to have a place to shelter himself from the wind and rain, he endured it.
In order to get a house, those relatives said they would take turns to take care of him, but they were often nowhere to be seen. He learned to go to the vegetable market to pick up rotten vegetables and cook them at home just to survive.
Sometimes he really felt that he could not live anymore, until his neighbors suddenly became kind, and those relatives disappeared overnight and no longer bothered him. He began to eat at different people's homes, began to learn and began to grow up.
He had been the only one in that house all along, and he gradually got used to this kind of life and learned to be patient.
I feel like I will live like this for the rest of my life, guarding my mother's little house.
Until Jiang Yan appeared.
He really didn't ask for much, no money, no power, even if Jiang Yan just came back for a meal every day.
But he didn't expect that such days would come to an abrupt end one day.
He didn't wait for Jiang Yan to come back for dinner.
Can't wait any longer.
The meal prepared for Jiang Yan, his sister-in-law, and his nephew gradually got cold until it was thrown into the trash can.
The scene changed again, and it was Yue Qing standing in front of him, speaking clearly.
"Jiang Sui, I'm leaving."
Jiang then suddenly opened his eyes, his heart beating violently.
Maybe it was because he had just had a nightmare, but his palms seemed to be more sensitive and painful than ever.
But this time he was in a hurry to go out and did not treat the wound. At this moment, a long time had passed and the blood had coagulated. It was even more shocking when he opened his palm.
But Jiang Sui's gaze didn't move at all.
As soon as he turned on his phone after getting off the plane, he was dazzled by the many messages that popped up, but the top ones were sent from Yueqing.
Jiang Suiyi suddenly stopped and clicked in.
Yue Qing: "Jiang Suizhi, I've thought of the requirements of our bet."
Yue Qing: "I hope you can treat Le Jia and Le An as well as you would your own children."
Yue Qing: "Although it's a little late to say this now, I still want to say that during this period of time, whether it's treating the children or you, I have a clear conscience. I have also thought about it seriously. Although I like Le Jia and Le An very much, I have too many personal matters and they are too complicated. I can't take good care of them until I have sorted them out and resolved them myself. I have met your family and I believe you can raise them well."
Yue Qing: "I mentioned to you before that I prepared a card for them. The money in it is for the children's growth fund. Although you can't use it, it is also my heartfelt gift. I put the card and the things for you at the front desk of your company building. You can get it when you come back."
Yue Qing: "For a short period of time, until the children can accept the reality, I will be careful not to appear in front of you, but I hope that I will have the opportunity to visit them again in the future."
The last message came a long time later, probably because she thought about it for a long time before sending it.
Yue Qing: "I'm still sorry about your feelings. We are not suitable. I hope you can meet a better person."
One can imagine the emotion she felt when she typed each word in every sentence, as calm and gentle as when they first met.
She is always like this, handling everything in an organized and thoughtful manner.
So calm it's infuriating.
What does it mean to have too many and too complicated private matters?
He only had time to deliver breakfast once, what's so complicated about it!
Jiang was so angry that he was shaking all over, but when he called again, the other party's phone was still turned off. Did he mean that the other party turned off his phone after sending him a message?
wrong.
Or did she block herself?!
Jiang then hurried to the company building.
The receptionist was startled by the boss's dusty and red-eyed appearance, and hurriedly took out the things Miss Yueqing left at the front desk.
Jiang Suizhi thought she had given him something else, but it turned out to be the bracelet he had given her. Even the packaging box was intact, as if she had never opened it since she received it.
At this moment, Jiang Suizhi felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him from head to toe.
He didn't even know whether Yue Qing's statement that she accepted the gift from him as a friend was true or false.
On the other hand, from the day I received the watch until now, no matter what clothes I change into, I always wear the watch on my wrist.
Only he cares, only he treasures it as it is.
He was the only one who consoled himself with his grief when he didn't get any gifts.
After working non-stop for days without a rest and taking too many medicines, my head felt dull and painful at this moment.
The receptionist was worried that the boss might die here if he wasn't paying attention, so she hurriedly asked, "Mr. Jiang, are you okay? Do you want me to call an ambulance for you?"
"When did she leave?" Jiang Sui asked with his eyes closed.
"I brought this in last night." The receptionist said cautiously.
Jiang Suizhi frowned: "At night?"
"Yes," the receptionist explained, "it's just when we're getting off work."
"Do you know where she went?"
The receptionist shook her head.
The other receptionist suddenly remembered something: "Miss Yueqing took a taxi and left. I happened to be waiting for a taxi outside. She was going to the airport."
Jiang then turned around and stared at the other receptionist: "Which airport? Where to?"
The receptionist was also curious about Miss Yueqing because she had seen her appear with Mr. Jiang before. When she saw Miss Yueqing taking a taxi, she took the opportunity to say a few words to her. Fortunately, the other party was very nice and easy to talk to, so they chatted for a while.
Seeing that President Jiang was determined not to give up, the receptionist stammered, "She said, she said she wanted to go back to London."
Jiang then took a deep breath.
This time I'm really going to be mad at myself.
It's always one step late, just one step late!
He grabbed the card and the box containing the bracelet and turned away, leaving in a hurry.
The people at the front desk were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
What's wrong with the boss?
Why does it look like he had an argument with Miss Yueqing, and they were playing a game of chase and run?
"I'm familiar with this plot," said the receptionist who initially provided the information. "It's written like this in literature about a child running away. The child is secretly given to the father, and the mother runs away. The domineering president then chases her and pins her against the wall, his eyes red as he says, 'Woman, what else do you want from me? I've already given you my life.'"
Several young ladies agreed with this.
"That's not right." Another said, "But the one in our group belongs to Mr. Da Jiang, not Mr. Xiao Jiang."
"Then the situation becomes complicated. There might even be some ethics involved."
Everyone looked at each other and said that the rich families were really chaotic.
Jiang Suizhi rushed to the airport again and quickly called Lin Shengxi, who was far away in the UK. Lin Shengxi, who had been feeling very nervous, had no time to think about work. He answered the phone immediately: "Hello? Brother."
"Check Yueqing's recent flight back to the UK to see where she is."
"Is she still missing, brother?" Lin Shengxi slapped his head. "Then you must have come all this way for nothing?"
Jiang Suizhi said coldly, "I didn't ask you to be a behavioral interpreter. Check immediately. If you find out, tell me where she is. I'll be back right away."
Secretary Chen's power is limited, so Lin Shengxi has more options.
"I see, I'll check right away!"
As soon as the call was disconnected, Jiang then received a call from Jiang Hechang. Now he was so angry that he had a headache when he saw these three words, and he clicked reject without thinking.
Jiang Hechang, on the other side, was confused. He guessed his son was in a meeting, so he sent a message in a different way: "I've sent the kids to kindergarten and will pick them up in the evening, but they said they haven't received your check-in today. What does that mean? I can't get through to Yueqing. Call me if you want."
Jiang Sui, who was already angry, almost fainted from anger when he saw this.
He went on with a clear conscience!
But no matter how out of control Jiang Sui still had a bit of rationality. It was understandable that Jiang Hechang gave money to let Yue Qing leave.
Now there is no reason.
So the two of them must have talked about other things when they met.
Jiang Suizhi felt something was wrong and immediately called back, asking sinisterly, "What did you say to Yueqing?"
"What's with that questioning tone of yours?" Jiang Hechang had originally wanted to talk to him nicely, but when he heard he was being blamed first, he couldn't help himself. "I was going to ask you what's wrong! What did you say to Yue Qing?"
Jiang Sui, who had been outmaneuvered, was stunned: "What?"
"She asked me to bring the child back. I told her to talk to you, but she said she had a disagreement with you. That night, she asked me to take the child and flew back herself." Jiang Hechang lowered his voice and demanded, "What the hell did you do?"
Jiang Suizhi: "..."
His eyes became somewhat empty.
"That card, the card you gave her," he murmured, "what is it?"
"Card?" Jiang Hechang thought for a moment. "You said she wanted to give the card to the child? She said it was for the child's savings. I thought the child had suffered enough in the past few years, so I didn't take her money and returned the card to her. Look at what a good child she is. You've been investigating her for so long, did you find anything?"
Knowing that his son was not very smart and a bit extreme, Jiang Hechang was worried that he would do something extreme to Yue Qing because she was not the child's mother. Otherwise, how unhappy would the two of them be!
Jiang Hechang said angrily, "No matter what, Yueqing has taken it as her responsibility to take care of the two children. I'm warning you, even if she's not your sister-in-law, you can't do anything reckless!"
The two words of his sister-in-law directly stung Jiang Sui's nerves, triggering the key words and causing him to have another attack.
Yue Qing actually told Jiang Hechang everything.
Jiang Suizhi sneered: "So what if she's my sister-in-law."
Jiang Hechang: “?”
"Not now, and not in the future." Jiang Suizhi's condition became more and more crazy. "She is not someone's appendage. She can only be herself, so why can't I do whatever I want?"
Although what he said made some sense, Jiang Hechang felt something was wrong.
He stumbled over his words: "What do you mean by 'hustle and bustle'?"
"What do you mean?"
After several seconds, Jiang Hechang finally reacted and flew into a rage: "Jiang Suizhi! Are you crazy?"
He forced a good child to this point, and he still thinks he did nothing wrong!
Jiang Hechang threatened, "If you touch Le Qing, I'll break your legs!"
But Brother Jiang never cared about him as a father. Since he was sure that Yue Qing’s departure had nothing to do with his father, he probably knew where the problem lay.
No matter how angry Jiang Hechang was on the other side, he just turned off his phone and got on the plane.
But until he got off the plane, Lin Shengxi, who was always known for his information channels, still couldn't find any trace of Yueqing.
"Brother, I checked. She did get off the plane in London, but there's no trace of her since then. There's no registration information at the hotel, and no other transportation information except for her flight. I contacted the photographer she worked with, but he finished shooting and returned home a long time ago, so she hasn't had any work to collaborate with recently."
Jiang Sui's eyes darkened.
Since she has no job, why did she come back?
Or will it be like before, where no one can find any news about her after she goes abroad?
Now she has no external help from anyone, how could she disappear here without a trace?
Jiang Suizhi felt that even if he died, he should die clearly. There was no reason to send him away with just a few messages.
Wait, external force?
Thinking of the day when he was walking with Yue Qing, a woman surrounded by many bodyguards, Jiang Sui's brows were tightly knitted.
"Annie." He recalled the person's name, but couldn't remember the last name. "Look this person up. She's closely related to Lvy, who adopted Lan Xu."
"Annie?" Lin Shengxi didn't need to check this because he had come into contact with many people in this family since he came here. Only people of this status could get close to Lvy, so he said, "Brother, are you talking about that wealthy Chinese man? The one who can't see."
"You know?" Jiang Sui asked.
"Of course I know. This family is very famous. She's the only girl in her generation. She's been pampered since she was little. Her only regret is that she was born blind. If you're talking about this person, then it might be difficult for us to investigate. With her family's influence, it would be easy for them to hide someone."
Only at this moment did Jiang Suizhi realize how stupid he was to want to give Yue Qing some space and choose not to investigate the people around her.
Yueqing seems to care a lot about Annie.
Jiang then clenched his fists and said, "Give me her family's information and contact information."
On the other hand, Yue Qing has arrived in Edinsor, a small town near London. Her filming mission has indeed come to an end, and the next step is the filming she promised to Chelsea.
Because she came here with Annie as soon as she got off the plane, Chelsea hasn't arrived yet. She also made the appointment two days late on purpose because she was not in a good condition to work.
The two of them were sitting on a bus in the small town. It was quiet all around. Annie had been sitting next to Yueqing for a long time and hadn't heard her speak, so she gently patted the seat in front of her to make a sound.
Sure enough, Yue Qing quickly came back to his senses and gave a response: "Hmm?"
"If you can't bear to part with them, why do you have to give your children to others?" Annie asked pointedly.
Yue Qing was stunned for a moment, and after a long moment, he sighed softly, "I'm really not in a good condition to take care of a child."
"Why?"
"I feel very confused about my own existence now." Yue Qing whispered, "The information Jiang Sui's father got has made me doubt my connection with this place again."
"Annie, can you believe this?" She turned her head and looked at the fairytale town. Once again, she felt unreal, as if she had just arrived in this world. "I don't know where I came from, and I don't know where I'm going in the future."
Unexpectedly, Annie said without hesitation, "Letter."
She leaned back in the car seat with her arms folded, her eyes fixed on the front without any focus, and her smile was very faint: "I thought the same thing four years ago, and I thought about it for many years."
"What?"
Unlike Yueqing's hesitation, Annie obviously doesn't mind showing her past self. In her opinion, life is like this. As long as she is satisfied with what she is doing at the moment, she doesn't have to care about the consequences.
She said lazily, "I've always had poor health and couldn't see since I was a child, so I always stayed at home. Everyone thought I was the princess and the pea in the greenhouse, and that I was very sensitive and sad. But in fact, I don't remember those years very clearly. I even feel like those years were covered by a layer of fog, with only a one-sided feeling. I really came back to life four years ago."
Yue Qing was stunned: "Is it when Lvy said you were cured?"
"Yeah." Annie shrugged. "Four years ago, I felt like I was truly alive again, a real person. And there's something very strange going on."
"Um?"
Annie turned her head, her pale eyes gleaming with a faint light. "I've never seen colors or images before, but after meeting you, images I've never seen before started appearing in my mind. I even spoke Chinese in the images. I saw myself climbing to the top of a mountain with a child to watch others fly kites. The child said that when she grows up, she'll buy me lots of kites, airplanes, and spaceships so I can fly higher."
Yue Qing's breathing suddenly stopped.
"That's why I believe you." Annie didn't see her abnormality and continued, "Because I also feel that my origins are inexplicable. I told you, I'm looking for answers."
"Kite..." Yue Qing's voice trembled slightly, "Is this the kite I gave you?"
"perhaps."
The bus kept moving forward, and there was silence between the two for a long time before Yue Qing finally found her voice. She looked at the person in front of her, and her eyes suddenly became blurred.
"The day I saw you at the hotel, I recalled a scene I'd never seen before: a sister holding my hand, telling me she would always protect me and that we would become family." Yue Qing choked up, "I didn't know who it was, but I always felt it was you. I don't know where this feeling came from, so from that day on, I've been very scared and terrified."
Especially when he saw Jiang Sui's father take out the report, and the photo of the child in it was exactly the same as himself when he was a child, Yue Qing's usually clear thinking suddenly went offline.
When she was first brought to this world and thought she was the original owner, she was able to stay out of it and just had to deal with everything and get back on track with normal life.
But when she later realized that she was wearing it, the seeds of doubt began to grow in her heart.
She was reluctant to leave her children and looked for reasons not to let go of them in every clue. So when she learned that Jiang Sui was not the biological father of the children, she chose to forget her own origins and immerse herself in the fantasy of being the children's aunt, hoping that she could continue like this so that she would have something to care about.
But reality broke down her psychological defenses again and again.
What she cared about was not whether she was the children's biological aunt, because blood relationship was not important to her at all.
Even if she left the child in the country and sent him to his grandfather, she never thought about really leaving them. She just needed some time to sort herself out.
What she cares about is who she is.
Those images in my mind, the five-year-old child who suddenly died, and the name Yueqing. Why is it used by so many people, so many people care about it, and why is it such a coincidence that Eve has plastic surgery to look like me.
She was afraid that she would no longer exist in the future, and that her appearance and disappearance would be as sudden and unexpected.
"Annie." Yue Qing said hoarsely, "I suspect I am the child who died many years ago."
Because of death, he grew up alone in another world.
At some point in time, I returned here and became a real Yueqing.
"What about me?" Annie laughed. "Am I the sister you mentioned who wants to protect you?"
As soon as the words fell, both of them fell silent.
The scattered threads were sorted out, and on the empty bus, those confused thoughts seemed to become extremely clear at this moment.
Why do two people see scenes that they have never experienced at the same time?
Why are there so many coincidences of fate?
Now there is only one answer that makes sense.
Yue Qing's hands trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but grab Annie beside her. If she was really the dead child, and Annie was the older sister she'd taken to the orphanage and raised with, then the five-year-old self had died and gone to another world, and for some reason, her sister had continued to live under the name Yue Qing until she died at 24 and then reincarnated into another body.
Yueqing looked up suddenly.
She looked at the pair of eyes in front of her and thought of An An's extremely clear eyes, which often had a profoundness that did not belong to her age.
"Annie." Yue Qing said clearly, "Have you heard of the name Jiang Yan?"
