Chapter 710 Crying Heartily
The ward fell into a brief and depressing silence for a moment, as if the air had frozen.
Dean Guo was the first to break the silence. He frowned slightly, his eyes full of worry, and looked at Jiang Chengyu and said:
"Yu'er, if you let us all go, what will you do here alone? In this huge city, how can anyone feel at ease if you don't have anyone to take care of you?"
Jiang Chengyu looked a little distant. He raised his head slightly, his eyes showing a hint of complexity, and said slowly:
"How could there be no one to take care of me? Isn't there Mr. Song taking care of me?" There was a subtle hint of self-mockery in his tone.
When Jiang Shuo heard this, he suddenly felt resentful. He frowned, stared at Jiang Chengyu, and said loudly:
"Have you ever been to Goldsmith Bay Villa since you got the bidding project? You only went back once, except for documents that needed Grandpa's signature.
After my dad came back, you never set foot inside again. Uncle Xiaowu was originally just a driver, but now you have trained him into a professional workplace elite!
What on earth are you thinking? Can't you just explain it clearly to everyone?
Do you think it's fun to keep everyone guessing?" Jiang Shuo's words were like a rapid-fire barrage, filled with the frankness and dissatisfaction of a young man.
Jiang Chengyu was slightly startled and coughed lightly, as if trying to calm his emotions.
He took a deep breath, mustered up his courage and said slowly, "Xiaoji brought me here. In this complicated world, he is my only relative and my most solid support in this world."
At this point, Jiang Chengyu's voice couldn't help but choke. He paused for a moment, trying to adjust his emotions before continuing:
"Later, as we spent time together day after day, we cherished each other and our friendship gradually deepened.
I originally thought that we could stay together for the rest of our lives as brothers, which would be pretty good.
At that time, I never understood what the love between Long Yang and Yang was, and I was completely ignorant of this special feeling.
It wasn't until we were at the villa halfway up the mountain that Aunt Shen's words woke me up and made me realize that the relationship between us might have already surpassed the scope of ordinary brothers."
Jiang Chengyu lowered his head slightly, a look of pain flashed across his face, as if those past memories flooded towards him like a tide.
"So, I didn't want Xiaoji to be sad because of this relationship that wasn't recognized by the world, so I chose to leave him secretly.
I naively believed that as time passed, everything would fade away, including me, who did not exist in this world.
However, fate played a trick on me, and by some strange coincidence, I ended up in Los Angeles, where I met Patriarch Cedric Winston and his beautiful and kind daughter Karina.
They were very friendly to me. Perhaps they saw my plight in a foreign country and my superficial appearance, so they wanted me to stay there forever.
We are all smart people. They know that I have no legal documents and it is difficult for me to survive in a foreign country and I can't do anything.
So, Karina repeatedly gave me thoughtful arrangements, making me feel as if I was on a predetermined track. I didn't have to think about anything, just be obedient every day and live according to her arrangements.
The days passed by dully one by one, and I gradually got used to this kind of life arranged by others.
I think, two years have passed, Xiaoji should have married, had children, and lived a normal life.
Gradually, I became numb to everything. It turns out that life can really be so simple.
There are no excessive desires or pursuits. Just like a machine, it does what it should do over and over again.
Life ends peacefully just like this!" Jiang Chengyu's voice became lower and lower, as if he was telling someone else's story.
"I didn't expect that God likes to play tricks on me. I thought my life would be peaceful forever, but it was completely disrupted by Xiaoji, who was so focused on studying.
The moment I saw him having a seizure, I was panicked and confused. I didn't know what I could do to save his life."
Jiang Chengyu sniffed: “During the preparations for the World Hua Jewelry Competition, Aunt Shen and Uncle Song came to the conference room.
Two years have passed, and when Aunt Shen sees me, she still treats me like poison, hates me and tries to avoid me as much as possible, and is aggressive towards me again.
The stubborn Xiaoji, regardless of the strange looks from everyone in the meeting room, resolutely tore my clothes.
In front of everyone, he kissed me desperately and publicly declared that he not only wanted to love me, but also wanted to make this relationship a reality.
He even forced me to get a marriage certificate at the Los Angeles Marriage Registry. After returning to China, our relationship was not recognized by everyone;
I was very conflicted. On the one hand, I didn't want to go against everyone's wishes, but on the other hand, I couldn't bear to hurt Xiaoji.
I wanted to listen to everyone and cut off all ties with Xiaoji. However, when Uncle Guo was hospitalized after the car accident, Xiaoji's condition suddenly worsened and his heart and lung function was already in jeopardy.
I have to deal with Xiaoji's complex emotions caused by his illness every day, and at the same time try my best to make everyone satisfied. I am struggling in this dilemma.
In order to maintain his life, I studied day and night and developed a medicine that took a long time to develop, combining it with my healing techniques.
It can only temporarily keep his cardiopulmonary function powered, but it cannot cure the disease.
Later, I found that I did not have enough energy to return my vital energy after using the exercises for a long time.
My luck has also declined to the extreme, and I have fallen into a long sleep. If it weren’t for…”
Jiang Chengyu hesitated at this point, and he really had no way to say what the old man Shu Ling said, which seemed to be nonsense, so he stopped talking.
He pondered for a moment, adjusted his mood, and continued, "If I hadn't been helpless, I would have had to accept my fate.
I thought that as long as I could spend every day with Xiaoji for the rest of my life, it would be a good thing. This way, I would have done my best for him.
Humph, unexpectedly, he finally thought it through, tore up the marriage certificate with his own hands, and gave me back my freedom.
At that moment, I suddenly felt as if I had no worries or burdens, and I felt more relaxed than I had ever felt in my life.
"Hmph!" Jiang Chengyu smiled bitterly, his smile full of helplessness and self-mockery.
At this time, Mu Xiaoji was sitting quietly on the bench at the door. When he heard Jiang Chengyu's words,
My heart felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer, tears burst out uncontrollably, and I cried uncontrollably.
He bit his lips so hard, as if he wanted to bury all the pain deep in his heart, that his lips were bitten and a trace of blood slowly flowed down the corner of his mouth, which looked particularly glaring on his pale face.
Jiang Chengyu calmed down, raised his head, tears flashing in his eyes, and continued: "I have greatly insulted him in this way. I feel I have no face to see him again.
So in the yard of Goldsmith Bay Villa, facing his anger, I didn't have the courage to fight back.
I even feel that dying as a sacrifice for my sins might be the best way for me to atone for him!"
Jiang Chengyu kept his heavy head down the whole time, his shoulders trembling slightly, tears welling up in his eyes, as if he was carrying all the pain and helplessness in the world.
Jiang Shuo felt a sharp pain in his heart when he heard Jiang Chengyu's words. He reached out and held Jiang Chengyu's left hand tightly, and said in a choked voice:
"Little Daddy, are you stupid? Everyone makes mistakes. You were forced to do what you did, so what crime have you committed?"
"Stinky baby, you don't understand. Raising you is my duty and obligation. After all, you didn't have the right to choose when you came into this world, but I do.
Since I chose to bring you into this world, I have to give you an explanation. Now you have grown up, huh,
From the day your father tore up the marriage certificate, we...we all...had already..."
Jiang Chengyu gritted his teeth, and as if he had exhausted all his strength and courage, he said, "It doesn't matter!"
Jiang Shuo had been holding Jiang Chengyu's hand tightly, but when he heard this, he suddenly let go.
His tears fell uncontrollably on the white sheets. He looked at Jiang Chengyu without blinking, his eyes full of disbelief and heartache.
At this moment, Jiang Chengyu's face was pale and weak, as if dead, as if all life had been drained away.
When Mu Huiying heard Jiang Chengyu's words, her body shook inadvertently, as if she had suffered a huge blow.
Dean Guo also looked at Jiang Chengyu in surprise, his eyes full of shock and heartache. He hurriedly supported the disheartened Mu Huiying, his eyes full of worry.
Youyou couldn't help sobbing. She looked at Jiang Chengyu and said in a tearful voice, "Brother Chengyu, how could you... say such a thing?"
Jiang Chengyu smiled bitterly, looked at Youyou, and said slowly: "Youyou, I'm afraid you have forgotten? You were the one who held the most vehement opposition at the beginning, right?
Remember in the gym, if Xiaoji hadn't reacted quickly enough and grabbed the knife from your hand in time, I might have been killed by you! "
When Youyou heard this, an embarrassed expression suddenly appeared on her face, and she stammered, "Brother Cheng Yu...I..." She opened her mouth, but didn't know how to explain, her heart full of regret and self-blame.
Jiang Shuo's big eyes, as watery as black grapes, were now filled with tears. His eyes were full of panic and sadness as he stared straight at Jiang Chengyu.
His lips trembled slightly, and he asked in a sobbing voice, full of fear: "Little Daddy, are you going to never want Choubao again? Just because I am his child."
There was a deep sense of helplessness in the childish voice, like an abandoned cub.
Jiang Chengyu felt as if his heart was being torn apart when he saw Jiang Shuo's pitiful appearance.
He slowly stretched out his left hand, his movements somewhat hesitant, but he finally gently wiped Jiang Shuo's tears, and said in a softer voice:
"Stinky baby, I don't abandon you. I'm waiting for you to grow up and take over Zidong International Company!"
He avoided Jiang Shuo's gaze and didn't dare to look him in the eye. He knew that nothing he said would help at this moment, but he really didn't know how to comfort the sad child in front of him.
Jiang Shuo snapped open Jiang Chengyu's left hand, his voice changing tone with excitement as he shouted:
"You're lying! This isn't the first time you've lied to me. You've said it so decisively, and you're still treating me like a three-year-old kid and continuing to lie to me!"
After saying this, he could no longer control himself and burst into tears. He cried heartily, his cry full of grievance and anger.
Jiang Chengyu panicked immediately, his hands froze in the air for a moment, then he pulled Jiang Shuo into his arms.
His voice was filled with anxiety and heartache: "Don't cry, stinky baby, don't cry, little daddy didn't lie to you, really didn't lie to you."
He hugged Jiang Shuo tightly, as if he was holding on to his last support, but he knew in his heart that
She couldn't give Jiang Shuo the future he had promised her, but she instinctively wanted to stop the child from crying.
Jiang Shuo raised his head and cried loudly, his shoulders shaking violently, and his hands tightly grasped Jiang Chengyu's clothes.
The ward was filled with his crying, and Mu Xiaoji, who was standing at the door of the ward, felt mixed emotions when he heard this.
He understood Jiang Chengyu's grievances and struggles, and felt sorry for Jiang Shuo's sadness and reluctance to part with his little daddy.
However, due to the complicated past between herself and Jiang Chengyu, she could only stand there silently, her heart filled with bitterness.
