Chapter 041
Jiang Ming greedily breathed the breath that belonged to Liang Rui, his voice was hoarse, "Xiao Yuan is my child, right?"
Liang Rui's struggle suddenly stopped.
At this moment, the air seemed to freeze.
Liang Rui felt Jiang Ming's strength in hugging him. The hands strangling him was actually a bit uncomfortable. The air in his chest seemed to be squeezed out, making it difficult for him to breathe, but his thoughts were unprecedentedly clear, and he only hesitated for a few minutes. In seconds, Liang Rui made a decision, and he said calmly, "Yes."
Jiang Ming didn't expect to get the answer so easily, so that the words he expected were useless. After a while, he said shyly, "Why didn't you say..."
"Say?" Liang Rui's voice was slightly ridiculed, "What are you talking about, and you at that time, saying that I was pregnant with your child? A man you hate and hate is pregnant with your child. Let you see me What kind of monster is it, and then give you a new reason to humiliate me?"
Even let you hurt my child.
Liang Rui didn't say this sentence, but it was the deepest fear in his heart back then.
Fear of being discovered, fear of being exposed, fear of being unable to protect children.Fear of facing the most dire outcome - the people he loves most, wanting to hurt their children.In that case, he might not be able to continue living.
So he humbly hid this secret, not daring to let anyone know.
Under the dilemma of whether to stay or leave with the child, he chose to protect.
So...he left.
Let go of that hopeless relationship and leave with his children.
He has never regretted his decision at that time for a moment, until now.
Liang Rui's calm words were like sharp arrows, piercing Jiang Ming's heart with thousands of holes, and like hot magma, burning through his internal organs.
Because he couldn't refute it, it was even more painful, so painful that he almost wanted to die.
At that time, he was only 20 years old, he was too naive, too ignorant, he didn't know what sex was, he didn't know how to tolerate, he didn't know how to be modest, he didn't know how to trust, he didn't know how to maintain a relationship, let alone I know how to love someone... I only know the endless demands, the plundering without restraint, and the unscrupulousness like a paranoid.
What would he do if he knew the answer then?Will he continue to hurt them unintentionally?
Is there such a slight possibility, as Liang Rui said, to make the injury more cruel, make the scar bigger, even hurt their children, and then regret it for life.Jiang Ming pulled the corners of his mouth away in self-mocking, his eyes were gloomy, like the sky under the smog, suffocating in despair.
Liang Rui was right, he was not worthy of trust.
Being young is no excuse for making mistakes.
Jiang Ming slowly let go of his hand. He carefully held Liang Rui's face and kissed the cold lips.
Liang Rui instinctively wanted to shake off, but the moment he saw Jiang Ming, he was so shocked that he forgot to move. "you……"
you cry.
In Liang Rui's memory, this was a stubborn child, he never cried, he didn't cry when he was beaten by Jiang Qinghai, he didn't cry when he was hurt, he didn't cry when he was sad.Ever since he was so young, he has had a pride that permeates his bones, like the most dazzling light, attracting his attention...
As he grows older, this stubbornness gradually becomes strong and indifferent, seemingly invincible.
And today, the man seemed to have finally broken down.
Liang Rui was not at all happy.
There is no pleasure in hurting each other.
Jiang Ming gently kissed Liang Rui's lips, but the lips were close to the lips, like a feather brushing, gentle and delicate, without the slightest color of sex, more like a sacred worship, kissing the supreme god in his heart .
"I didn't know until today that you have always loved me." Jiang Ming's voice was soft.
There were too many complicated emotions contained in the voice that was so weak that it was almost dissipated.
Relieved, understood, regretted, happy.
I just know that you love me so much.
No repayment, no pretense, no deception, no other purpose... just pure love.It would be great if we could know earlier.
If I could have known earlier, I would have learned to love you well from the very beginning.
We could have, ****...
..............................
"Master, we're home." The driver opened the door and said in a low voice.
Jiang Ming slowly opened his eyes, complex lights flashed in his dark eyes, he was silent for a moment, then finally stepped out of the car and looked up.This Jiang family mansion looked like a lifeless tomb in the twilight.
In these years, he has rarely come back here, except for the Chinese New Year, and basically never even set foot here.
And this year, he has returned twice.
Jiang Ming walked into the front courtyard, refused the servant's message, and walked straight to the main building.
He pushed open the door, and the once glamorous hall, because of the lack of popularity, even if it was cleaned spotlessly every day, still exudes a decayed and decayed atmosphere.Reaching out to touch the handrail of the stairs, Jiang Ming's eyes were a little empty.
There are many good memories of him in this family, and Liang Rui exists in these memories.
The doting Liang Rui who smiled at him, the Liang Rui who taught him sternly, the dirty Liang Rui who played with him, and the Liang Rui who fell asleep with him... From the day he could remember, Liang Rui deeply engraved in his life.
Later, without Liang Rui, he was reluctant to come back and lived alone in the cold and empty apartment.
It was obviously painful enough, so I didn't want to face silent accusations from my closest relatives when I was licking my wounds alone, as if his love was a stupid mistake.
Then he would go crazy.
"A Ming, is that you?" Mother Jiang's surprised voice came, "You're back."
"Mom." Jiang Ming called out with guilt in his eyes.
"Have you had dinner? We're just about to eat. Let's eat together if we haven't." Mother Jiang came over and took Jiang Ming's hand. "Your father will be very happy if he knows you're back."
Jiang Ming followed his mother dumbly.
Jiang Qinghai was sitting on the sofa in the living room, reading a newspaper in his hand. After all, he was a bit old, his hair was gray, his eyesight was degraded, and he had to wear glasses to read the newspaper.Hearing the voice, he raised his head and looked over, but the gaze that fell on Jiang Ming was still sharp. When he was not smiling, he could vaguely see the aura of the past.
Jiang's mother walked over and said with a smile: "What newspapers are you still reading? Ah Ming came back to visit us. The family will have dinner together in the evening, and go wash your hands."
Jiang Qinghai put down the newspaper slowly, "Okay."
Jiang's mother was obviously very happy today. She kept picking up vegetables for Jiang Ming at the dinner table, and said, "Eat more, you've lost weight. Don't work too hard on the company's affairs. It's all yours anyway." .”
Jiang Ming ate in silence, and ate all the food his mother brought over.
Seeing this, Jiang's mother was even more happy, and she babbled, "It seems that you must not have eaten well outside, or you should go home to live in the future, at least you can eat well..."
"Mom..." Jiang Ming said in silence. Before he could finish speaking, he heard the sound of chopsticks hitting the table.
Jiang Qinghai said coldly, "For the sake of an unfilial son who doesn't even want a family, why ask him to come back!"
Mother Jiang's hands trembled, her eyes were flushed, and the mask of pretended happiness faded away, revealing a pale face.
Jiang Ming was very sad.
It's like this again, every time...
He held his mother's hand, trying to comfort him, but he couldn't speak.
Maybe it's the breaking point. Mother Jiang, who is usually gentle and never speaks too loudly, showed a rare look of resentment this time, and said sharply: "You still talk! You still talk! It's all Because of you, it's all your fault!"
Jiang Qinghai's complexion changed.
Mother Jiang looked at him with complicated eyes, and her voice was choked up, "A Ming came back with great difficulty...Are you going to drive him out again? What exactly do you want!"
"How can you be satisfied!"
"Please don't force him anymore, okay!"
Jiang's mother held Jiang Ming's hand behind her back, looked at her son with fragile eyes, and said softly, "Don't listen to your father, you are free to like whoever you like, and mother will always support you. Mom only hopes that you can live Well, don't make it too difficult for yourself, okay?"
It was the first time Jiang Ming heard his mother's frank words, his eyes were hot, he closed his eyes, "Mom, I will come back to see you often."
"Okay, good boy." Mother Jiang showed a gentle smile.
Jiang Qinghai snorted coldly, but did not continue to say anything.After the meal, I put down my chopsticks and went straight to the study on the second floor.
Jiang Qinghai's study is very large, covering more than 200 square meters, with carpets on the floor, bookcases on one wall, a table in the center of the study, and several mahogany chairs opposite the table. His decision, interview with his subordinates.But now, there are very few people here.
Only he himself, often come to sit for a while in the afternoon and read books, but he can't read for too long, after all, his energy is not as good as before.
"You're here." Jiang Qinghai sat on the chair without moving or turning his head.
"Yes." Jiang Ming walked over step by step. He stared at his father. This once powerful man had shown signs of decay. Years had made his body old, but it would not change his cold heart. After so many years , never changes.
"For Liang Rui?" Jiang Qinghai had a mocking look in his eyes.
"Yes." Jiang Ming said.
Jiang Qinghai looked at him for a while, then let out a sneer: "I didn't expect him to be alive, what a pity."
Jiang Ming's fists were clenched suddenly, and he exhausted all his strength to restrain himself, so he didn't let himself turn his head and leave, but said in a calm tone: "After all, you are the one who brought up with your own hands, and you have worked for the Jiang family for dozens of years. Years, it would be too heartless to say that.”
He didn't doubt why Jiang Qinghai knew that Liang Rui was still alive. He had never concealed the news. It was not surprising that it would reach his father's ears. Only a pure mother would not know.
"Ruthless?" Jiang Qinghai's eyes were cold, "He abducted my only son, and if he died, he would turn our father and son against each other. Should I still be grateful to him?"
"This is your prejudice against him. You know that things are not like this at all!" Jiang Ming's chest rose and fell, and countless helplessness and sorrow flowed from his heart, and there was no way to resolve it.
"Don't be naive. If he dared to have a little bad intentions towards you or show a little bit of jealousy towards you, I would have kicked him out. So his kindness to you was just a kind of self-preservation and deceit in the final analysis. That's all, that is, you are foolish enough to take it seriously." Jiang Qinghai said in a disdainful voice.
"Okay, even so, then later on, he no longer needs to protect himself, so why should he be nice to me." Jiang Ming looked at his father, "Can't you see a little bit, how is he on him? You can't see it. Seeing his hard work and dedication... Do you have to judge others from the darkest angle?"
Jiang Qinghai stared at him coldly, and uttered two words: "Stupid."
Jiang Ming's eyes were desolate, yes, it was like this every time, his mood, his concern, in the eyes of his father, there was always only the word stupid.
The love he cherished so much, in the eyes of his father, was so humble that it was not worth mentioning.
Just like back then, when he was the saddest and most helpless, what awaited him was the most respected father who criticized him mercilessly.
Those ruthless words... made him bruised.
Jiang Ming opened the corner of his mouth, and said in a dull voice, "Forget it, I didn't come here to argue with you, I just wanted to ask you something, and I hope you can tell me the real answer."
"Did Liang Rui leave me at your request?"
