Chapter 78
Yueqing saw the name of the donor.
Apart from the surname, the man's name is Le Yang.
"Director Qin contacted the director of Sunshine Orphanage," Jiang then said. "According to her account, the child, while being taken to the hospital after the fall, said that if he didn't survive, he could donate his heart to his adopted sister."
This result is actually not surprising to Yueqing.
She had seen the heart rate monitoring bracelet on Annie's hand. It seemed that even if she was reborn, Annie still had some health problems.
If my relationship with Annie was really that good at that time, I would have made this choice when I learned that she was sick and was dying.
So this is the situation, and it is not impossible that Annie later used her own name to survive.
But when she saw Jiang Sui's expression, her intuition was not so simple: "Do you have anything else to say?"
Jiang then glanced at the kitchen door and saw it was still closed. He then slowly straightened up and said, "Something's a little strange."
He was suspicious by nature, especially after what happened with Jiang Yan, and he tended to think the worst of everything.
In fact, the Yueqing incident does not stand up to scrutiny.
"A heart transplant requires HLA matching, which takes at least 2-3 hours. The director said your heart stopped beating on the way to the hospital. Even if you fell accidentally, the time from matching to removal wouldn't match, not to mention your name is on it."
"There are so many coincidences. It's impossible for a child to know about organ donation. Only if someone brings it up and you've made comprehensive preparations can you donate in such a short time. And that person just happens to be someone you know."
Yue Qing understands that if there are too many coincidences in the world, they are no longer coincidences.
"My sister wouldn't do that."
"If it's really our guess, she might not know." Jiang Suizhi frowned. "The only thing she knows is that it's your heart."
That's why she changed her name and lived with her identity for so many years.
Jiang then checked and found that there was no adoption information for Yueqing at that time. However, if he checked in Leyang, he would find that there was indeed a girl who was three years older than Yueqing, and the family that adopted this girl was well-off.
But a few years later, the couple committed suicide due to business failure. As for Leyang, who had changed his name to Yueqing, he was lucky enough to survive his parents.
This is what his father found out, why Yueqing was also an orphan.
According to her family conditions when she was adopted and her relationship with Xiao Yueqing at that time, there was no reason for the couple not to know about Xiao Yueqing's existence.
Jiang Suiji said in a deep voice, "The dean said that the couple originally wanted to adopt you, but you refused to go and even strongly recommended your sister to them because you felt she was old enough to go to school and you could wait a few more years."
Yueqing bit her lower lip.
This is indeed something she can do now.
But Jiang Sui was concerned about more than just this. The couple's financial situation was enough for them to reach a secret deal with the dean and get matching done in advance.
At some point, a child died accidentally.
When a child without a father or mother dies, no one will examine her carefully, and no one will feel sad for her.
Even her sister, who got her heart, might think it was just an accident.
Apparently Yue Qing had also thought of this possibility. She was silent for a long time before she said softly, "Whether it's true or not, don't tell her."
She now finally understood why Annie never celebrated her birthday and hated it for so many years, and why the master was so ambiguous about her saying that she owed a debt.
But this has nothing to do with Annie.
Annie will never regret what she does, and she will never regret it.
"I'll go see her," she said.
The best outcome is that it was just an accident.
The worst-case scenario is that only she will know in the end.
If you want to know the truth of what happened back then, you just need to meet the dean.
After saying that, Yueqing turned around to get a small plate, intending to pick out all the cookies and take them out for Annie and the children to eat.
But as soon as she took a step, she was pulled back by a force.
This time, Jiang Suiyi gripped her wrist with frightening strength, and put his other hand on her shoulder.
"Get ready," he said.
Before Yue Qing could react, the big hand on her shoulder straightened her face a little. Jiang then gently stroked the side of her face and whispered, "I'm really going to be a hooligan this time."
The man didn't even give her a chance to react. He leaned over and placed a warm and soft kiss on her forehead.
Yueqing felt as if he had been electrocuted from head to toe. He stood straight, not knowing what to do or say for a long time.
The warmth on his forehead disappeared instantly, and the strength on his wrists and shoulders was also released at the same time, as if the light touch just now was just a sudden illusion.
"you……"
"Sorry." Jiang Suizhi acted without prior consent and stretched out his hand in front of her. "Go ahead and hit me."
Yue Qing completely forgot what he was going to say, and his expression was slightly confused: "?"
What are you fighting for?
"I can't help it." Jiang Suizhi's hand was on the cupboard, the veins on the back of his hand were clearly visible, and the other hand hanging by his side was trembling slightly, but his voice was unusually steady.
"Yueqing." He smiled, but it was different from his usual nonsensical smile. This time his eyes were deeper than ever. "I feel so bad."
Jiang Suizhi found it difficult to understand his own mentality.
He never felt sorry for himself.
But when he saw Yue Qing standing in front of him, facing a potentially cruel truth from the past but still having to hide it in his heart, his heart was filled with dense pain.
I feel scared and sad.
Yue Qing wiped his forehead, trying to keep the distinct touch away from him, and quickly turned his head away: "I'm going to pack the cookies."
"Don't fight?" Jiang Suizhi knew her skills very well.
Yue Qing glanced at the man's still shaking hands and said, "I'm afraid you can't help but fight."
An answer that only makes things more obvious.
Jiang Sui wanted to laugh, but couldn't. He didn't obey her and leave. Instead, he put all the cookies into the jar for her: "I will go with you."
Not a question, but an affirmation.
It was as if he already had the answer before he talked about it.
Yueqing paused slightly, then hummed softly.
I used to do everything by myself, but it would be okay if there was one more person.
Only then did she remember that every time she wanted to do something, if Jiang Suizhi was not there, Lin Shengxi would be there.
Whether it was to protect the children or to protect her, he seemed to always be there.
The feeling of being able to see someone at any time when she turned around made her feel extremely safe.
-
Before going to record the show, Yue Qing got up early the next day to prepare to go out. After she and Sister Wang arranged everything, she knocked on Annie's door.
Recently, little Lejia has changed the person he tells stories to, so Annie basically sleeps with them.
"I have to go out for something and may not be back until tomorrow." Yue Qing said, "Don't worry about me."
Annie was half asleep, holding the child in her arms and half sitting up. "Where are we going?"
Seeing that she was about to go with him, Yue Qing thought for a moment and said, "Let's go out and play with Jiang Sui."
Sure enough, Annie stopped moving, and after a few seconds she fell back onto the bed, saying lazily, "You can go, but you can't stay out all night."
You talk as if it wasn't you who was peeking at us kissing behind the door that day.
"It depends on the situation." Yue Qing said vaguely, "I'll be back as soon as possible."
Annie, lying in bed, raised her hand and waved, and Yue Qing finally felt relieved to leave. Jiang Sui was already standing in the elevator and saw her close the door quietly, obviously worried about waking up others.
He observed her condition carefully and found that she was not as depressed as he thought.
I guess I've prepared myself mentally.
Fortunately, Mr. Jiang thought that he had taken the initiative yesterday, otherwise he might have been taken advantage of by this person's quick reaction when he wanted to comfort her.
But change your thinking and stick a patch after each beating.
It may be difficult for ordinary people to accept, but for him, it is a double benefit.
President Jiang has already laid the foundation for his future life.
Yue Qing pressed the elevator button and found that the man was still in a daze, with a smile on his lips that looked like he was about to become a gangster in the next second, and his forehead seemed to be burned.
Next time, if this person touches or speaks to her without her permission.
She would definitely take off one of his arms.
She walked into the elevator and deliberately said, "Are you waiting for the next one?"
Jiang then curled his lips slightly and walked in. Seeing that she was "facing the wall" as before, his smile became even more intense.
But now is not a good time to act like a hooligan. This guy is like a spring and too sensitive.
We have to choose another time to do it.
"Have you figured out what to do?" He tried to divert her attention.
When Yueqing was mentioned, he became more serious: "Yeah."
I thought about it yesterday.
Jiang then nodded: "We must win."
"What else?" Yue Qing said quietly, "The only person I have a relationship with is my sister, not anyone else. I won't suffer losses from outsiders."
To put it another way, she also considers herself as "homemaker".
Jiang then set out with his wife, feeling relaxed and happy, to support her.
A few hours later, the two arrived in Shuocheng.
Liao Ming, the director of Sunshine Orphanage, heard from Director Qin early in the morning that someone was coming to see him, and Liao Ming always felt uneasy.
Too many people have come to see him recently, and every one of them asks about what happened in the past. Although he has said these words thousands and tens of thousands of times, he still can't sleep at night. As soon as he closes his eyes, he sees the expression of the little girl lying quietly on the ground.
To be honest, he had seen all kinds of children in the orphanage over the years, and many of them were well-behaved, but this was the first time he had seen a little girl like Yue Qing.
Even when facing death, she was not afraid at all. She did not cry or make a fuss. She was as quiet as a beautiful rag doll. She even endured the pain and signed the donation form without shedding a single tear.
That was the only word she knew how to write.
Even after so many years, Liao Ming still felt a lingering fear every time he thought of Xiao Yueqing's expression that day, so much so that he could no longer stay in the orphanage and chose to live in retirement.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Director Qin's voice coming from outside the courtyard: "Director Liao, guests are here!"
Liao Ming jumped up and hurriedly walked back and forth in front of the coffee table before answering, "I'm coming!"
"After leaving the orphanage, Director Liao returned to his hometown to farm and retire." Director Qin led Yue Qing and Jiang through the small fence in the courtyard. "What happened back then was a real blow to him. He would definitely be very happy to see you."
He glanced at Yueqing's face and felt that this was what the child would look like when he grew up.
But he still found it unbelievable, because he saw with his own eyes Liao Ming holding the child's urn.
"So you didn't die then?"
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a man walking out of the house. Yue Qing smiled and said, "It's hard to say."
"Hey! President Liao!" Director Qin also saw it and immediately waved, "Look who's here!"
Liao Ming was still not able to react when he saw the yard suddenly full of people. Except for Director Qin who was in the front, whom he knew, those behind him were probably bodyguards or something like that. Standing in the front was a tall man with a slender figure and a slim girl with her hair loose.
"Who..." The rest of the words suddenly turned into a changed exclamation after he saw the girl's face when she turned around.
The first thing he saw was not the beauty of this face, but the face that he often saw in his dreams at midnight, which was so similar even after growing up.
"President Liao." Yue Qing walked slowly to him, raised her eyes slightly, and said quietly, "Long time no see."
The words "long time no see" made Director Liao's legs go weak and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Director Qin noticed something was wrong and quickly supported him: "What's wrong with you?"
At this moment, Liao Ming was too busy answering other people's questions. His eyes were dull and dazed as he stared at Yue Qing's face: "You are..."
"Yueqing." Yueqing replied, "I am Yueqing, don't you remember me?"
"How could you, how could it be Yueqing?" Liao Ming shook his head. "Yueqing has clearly been cremated."
He personally sent it in.
The urn is still there!
Thinking of this, Liao Ming hurried to the corner of the wall next to him, picked up a shovel, and dug frantically in his small yard full of flowers, regardless of everyone's eyes.
Director Qin was about to stop him, but was stopped by Jiang Sui with a look.
Director Qin and Jiang Hechang are old acquaintances. He knew that Jiang Hechang had an older son and later brought home a younger son. The younger son was even more decisive and frightening than the older son in his approach to things, and he directly forced his old father out of the company.
So now facing Jiang Sui's gaze, he subconsciously stopped his actions.
Yue Qing had a vague premonition in her heart. She stared at Liao Ming's actions without blinking until he dug a big hole there, revealing a small pottery jar with even a photo of a child on it.
The moment she saw the photo, her mind buzzed.
It was like another drill was spinning in her mind, making her dizzy.
Without caring about anything else, she quickly grabbed Jiang Suizhi who was beside her.
The latter also held her hand firmly, letting her half lean on his arms, and asked in a low voice: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"Slow down a bit."
The joke that was originally made in front of Jiang Yan’s tomb seemed to come true at this moment. It seemed that when he saw this pottery jar, many memories, both remembered and not remembered, came flooding out in his head at this moment, making it difficult to sort them out for a while.
However, Liao Ming had already taken out the pottery jar and walked in front of everyone: "This is Yueqing. If you are not Yueqing, who are you?"
Yue Qing tightly grasped Jiang Sui's thumb with one hand. The moment Liao Ming turned around, he controlled his expression and said calmly, "How do you know that it's Yue Qing who's in there?"
"I...I saw her being pushed in!"
"But you didn't see the burning."
"How is that possible?" Liao Ming stared at her face, as if trying to find some trace of falsehood on it.
But as soon as he came into contact with those eyes, and the quiet and somewhat creepy look in those eyes, his mind suddenly stopped working.
That's how the child looked at him before he died.
Exactly the same.
This time, Liao Ming could no longer hold the pottery jar. The jar fell to the ground and hit the stone next to it, making a hole in it. A small piece of unburned bone was exposed inside.
Yueqing felt as if a stone was pressing down on his heart and he could hardly breathe.
But after seeing Liao Ming's reaction, she felt that the purpose of her trip had been achieved, so she squatted in front of Liao Ming, who had also fallen to the ground with the pottery jar and asked: "President Liao, do you still remember what happened back then?"
Liao Ming shook his head reflexively and shouted, "I don't remember!"
"But I remember," Yue Qing said calmly, "I've remembered it for many years. Every day I think about the letter of intent with my name on it. If Dean Liao didn't remember it, he probably wouldn't have kept the fake ashes for so long."
She looked into his panicked and lifeless eyes and said softly, "I came here today to repay you for your kindness in collecting the body."
Liao Ming's eyes were red, and his face was pale as if someone had pinched his vital point. He raised his hand and wanted to strangle her neck: "Stop talking!"
He had only extended his hand halfway when Jiang Suiyi kicked him into the pit he had dug.
My butt is stuck in there and I can't pull it out.
Several bodyguards surrounded him and held his shoulders.
Director Qin was stunned: "What's going on?"
Aren’t you here to visit relatives?
"I think Dean Liao should know better." Yue Qing smiled. "Don't you think so?"
"If you want to blame someone, blame that heartless couple!" Liao Ming had been tortured for so many years that he was already very sensitive. How could he care less about thinking that someone's heart would die if it was taken out? At this moment, facing Yue Qing, he couldn't stand the scrutiny at all. He covered his head and didn't dare to look her in the eye. "It was all their idea. They insisted that I do this and gave me a lot of money. Otherwise, they wouldn't have suffered retribution!"
really.
Yueqing stood up slowly and didn't want to ask any more questions.
But before she turned around, she heard a familiar voice behind her, with a cold tone: "What's the idea?"
Yue Qing's body stiffened and he looked back in shock.
Annie didn't know when she was standing outside the courtyard, and with her were Uncle Jiang and Grandpa Jiang.
Only then did she truly show a panicked look: "Sister, why are you here?"
"An An told me a story last night." Annie's unfocused gaze fell in her direction, "She said that my aunt is coming to meet someone today."
She has no eyes, so naturally there are plenty of people to serve as her eyes.
Yue Qing intentionally didn't let her come with him, but she naturally found a way to come.
It happened that two elders went to see their children, so they came over together.
Yue Qing took a difficult step: "I..."
Little did he know that Liao Ming became even more excited after hearing Yue Qing call him "sister": "Your sister, right? It was her parents' idea! They asked me to find a way to take you to the matching clinic and gave you the push! If you want to blame someone, blame her!"
"What did you say?" Annie stumbled forward with her cane, no longer as lazy and casual as before. Her steps stumbled, and she fell to the ground on the dirt and stones. "What did you say?"
Yue Qing hurried forward to help her up: "Don't listen to his nonsense."
"Who's talking nonsense!" Annie's eyes were red as she grabbed her wrist tightly. Her other hand touched the exposed joints on the ground. She trembled and her voice choked with sobs. "What is this? You even hid this from me? Why did you hide it from me?"
The bomb that had been buried in Yueqing's heart all these days finally exploded at this moment.
She leaned over and hugged Annie, comforting her gently: "Because this has nothing to do with you, you are not wrong."
"You don't remember." She whispered, "You saved my life."
As the memories returned to her mind, she gradually sorted them out.
When she was still an ostracized child in the orphanage, she was isolated every time she went out to play. Liao Ming, as the director, always turned a blind eye. So when she was left outside with a high fever by other children, she was picked up by Annie, who was also wandering around at the time.
Annie used the money she had earned from picking up bottles and begging outside to take her to get the injection.
It was later that Annie stood up to protect her every time she was bullied, saying that she wanted to be her sister and become a family with her.
She lived frugally every day and gave all the food she saved to Annie. Later, she took her back to the orphanage and agreed to be adopted together.
With Annie's protection, no child dared to bully her when adults came to adopt children.
But Yueqing knew that she was still young, but Annie was no longer young. She was old enough to go to school, but the family only adopted one child, so she wanted Annie to go first.
She assured him, "I'm good-looking, and I'm sure I'll be adopted soon."
"But you have to go first, sister. You will learn a lot of knowledge and can teach me all the time."
Only then will she separate from Annie.
But even after they separated, Annie would often come back after her life got better, bringing her new clothes and delicious food.
Later, Annie didn't come for a long time, but Yueqing never doubted anything. She just waited quietly. She felt that her sister would never abandon her. They had an agreement, and she had promised to buy a kite for her sister.
Now she had no money, so she could only clumsily make one using the colored paper given by the orphanage.
She wanted to keep it and give it to her sister when she came. When she went downstairs happily with the finished kite, she was pushed down the stairs by Liao Ming who had been waiting there.
The stairs in the orphanage were not high, so he would not lose consciousness if pushed down. Yue Qing just felt pain all over his body.
She watched the dean walk down step by step, and saw him squatting beside her: "Your sister is sick, she won't come. If you can help her, will you help her?"
Little Yueqing nodded with difficulty.
The dean smiled and said, "Good boy, if she needs your heart, you will give it to her, right?"
heart?
Then will I die?
At that age, Yue Qing already knew the horror of death because she was on the verge of death.
No one came out, only the dean sat beside her with a piece of paper, watching her in pain and her consciousness gradually fade away.
"The heart must be taken out within five minutes of death," the dean said. "Good boy, wait a moment."
He took the paper and placed it next to her: "You can write your name, right? Write it here. You have such a good relationship with your sister, you will definitely help her with this."
Yue Qing knew that if he didn't write his name, he would not survive because the dean did not call the emergency number.
But if she wrote it down, she could still help cure her sister's illness.
So she nodded while she was still conscious.
The dean held her hand as she wrote her name, a name she had almost no chance to write.
Later, she finally heard the sound of an ambulance, but she knew that it was not here to save her.
She lay there quietly, holding tightly to the kite that she had not yet sent out, waiting for the ambulance to come and take her life.
A life that should have disappeared from this world long ago.
"Sister." Yue Qing came back to her senses and wiped away the tears from Annie's face, but no matter how hard she tried, they wouldn't stop. "Don't cry."
She whispered, "I'm still here, and you've lived for me for many years. I know that."
But Annie pinched her arm tightly, as if it was digging into her flesh, and when she opened her mouth she could only cry, unable to speak.
The sister he claimed to protect at the beginning ended up being the one protecting him, leaving her to live in misery.
"I'm sorry." Annie could barely breathe. "I'm sorry."
Yue Qing was quiet for a long time before swallowing her sobs: "It's okay."
She murmured repeatedly, "It's okay."
It doesn't matter.
It's good enough to survive.
"How can it be okay?"
Jiang then looked at Liao Ming, who was sitting on the ground, squatted down, and said coldly, "You mean, someone who had a heart transplant lived a life of upside down, singing in bars every night, drinking and racing, and finally gave birth to a child?"
Yue Qing's expression suddenly froze.
