Insincere

Chapter 046

Liang Rui had mixed feelings about seeing Jiang Qinghai.

At that time, he was brought into the Jiang family when he was young. It was the Jiang family who gave him a good life and conditions, so that he could be what he is now, instead of dying quietly one day or mingling in the bottom of the quagmire... So for the Jiang Qinghai has always been grateful.

Although...he used to play tricks to protect himself, but he knew that in Jiang Qinghai's eyes, there was nothing to hide.

It was based on the dual mentality of guilt and gratitude, so when Jiang Qinghai forced him to make a decision, he chose to obey.

But... It would be a lie to say that I don't have the slightest resentment in my heart.After all... At that time, he also sincerely thought about integrating into this family and treating this man as his father, but the facts told him that this was an impossible fantasy, so he always abided by his duty and became a good subordinate.

People, after all, can't be too greedy. If you are too greedy, you will lose even what you originally owned.

Just as he had an unreasonable thought, that's why he ended up in that end.

When Liang Rui walked into the tea room, he saw Jiang Qinghai sitting in it.

Not seen for many years, he seems a little old.

Liang Rui couldn't help slowing down, came to sit opposite him, he opened his mouth, and finally spit out two words: "Hello." At that moment, the word father was almost blurted out, but he suddenly realized that he was already There is no such position.

He knew very well the purpose of Jiang Qinghai's coming to see him, and it had nothing to do with Jiang Ming. In fact, he was surprised after waiting for so long, but Liang Rui's mood was not as panicked as it was many years ago. Probably time has tempered his mentality so that he will not be easily moved by anything, even if this person is Jiang Qinghai.

"You're here." Jiang Qinghai looked away from the tea set in his hand and looked at Liang Rui.

"Yes." Liang Rui replied.

"I'm back, why don't you go home and have a look." Jiang Qinghai's expression was calm, his tone unhurried, "Could it be that you're still blaming me for meddling in your affairs?"

Liang Rui raised his eyes abruptly, his heart was seized by complex and sour emotions. After a while, he lowered his eyes again: "I thought you didn't want to see me."

He was holding the teacup tightly. Before he came, he thought he would face criticism, disgust and scolding, and cold stares, but he didn't expect that Jiang Qinghai's first sentence was just, why don't you go home and have a look...

Home... Could he call it home?For a moment, feelings of guilt and longing flooded his mind, making him unable to think rationally. Maybe... After so many years, Jiang Qinghai has changed his mind, but is he still stubbornly staying at the beginning?

Liang Rui's eyes were slightly hot. He actually wanted to go back and have a look at the place where he grew up, Mrs. Jiang, the person he called his mother, and... the one he called his father. Man, he actually wanted to go back.

However, before Liang Rui could organize his words, Jiang Qinghai's next sentence made his heart fall into an ice cave.

"Since you know this, why come back?" Jiang Qinghai looked at him indifferently, "You shouldn't have come back."

Liang Rui's hands trembled slightly, and some tea spilled out. These words hit every part of his body like a cold current, sweeping away his ridiculous self-indulgence just now.He put down the teacup, no emotion could be heard in his voice, "To be honest, if I can, I don't want to come back."

"You can. If you simply died, Jiang Ming wouldn't be able to bring a dead person back." Jiang Qinghai smiled, but looked at him softly, "You still can't be cruel."

Liang Rui took a deep breath. He put his hands under the table and clenched them tightly, not wanting Jiang Qinghai to see him trembling.

He looked at the man across from him calmly, and said hoarsely, "Do you hate me that much?"

Jiang Qinghai shook his head slowly, looked at Liang Rui with complicated eyes, and seemed to be looking at something else through him, "I don't hate you, I'm just afraid of you."

"You're joking." Liang Rui pursed his lips tightly. It was the first time he heard the word 'fear' from Jiang Qinghai's mouth, but facing him, he just felt ridiculous.

"This is not a joke. When you were alive, you made Jiang Ming go crazy for you. When you died, Jiang Ming almost went with you." Jiang Qinghai looked at him slowly, "He is my only son, But he is desperate for a man, you say, should I be afraid of you. "

Liang Rui gritted his teeth, and he looked at Jiang Qinghai fixedly, "So, you assume that I have bad intentions and don't really love him, right?"

Jiang Qinghai remained silent.

Liang Rui clenched his fist tightly and said word by word: "Father, why don't you believe me."

This sentence, many years ago, he wanted to ask, why can't you trust him, why can't you give him a chance, why do you have to speculate him with the most sinister intentions?The father and son have been separated for 20 years, can't they let the person he calls his father give him a little kindness and trust?

He's clearly worked so hard.

He never wanted much, but why couldn't he?

Can't believe his love is genuine.

"Father...?" Jiang Qinghai repeated the word lightly, and said slowly, "The reason is actually very simple, because I am not your father."

After so many years, Liang Rui finally heard this sentence from Jiang Qinghai's mouth. In an instant, all the unwillingness and grief and anger were like a balloon being pricked by a needle.

"Yes, you are not." Liang Rui said coldly, he would no longer be obsessed with this, nor would he have any extravagant hopes.

It's time for him to see reality.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the tea room seemed to be frozen.

For a long time, Jiang Qinghai looked at Liang Rui with a nostalgic look, and said with emotion: "Time is so fast, that poor child has grown into an adult, and he looks more and more like him." In his file bag, he took out a photo and pushed it in front of Liang Rui, "I think there are some things you should know."

"That's why I saw you today." Jiang Qinghai said slowly.

Liang Rui's gaze fell on that photo. In the photo were two young men standing shoulder to shoulder, smiling brightly at the camera. This is a very old photo with yellowed edges.He looked at it, his gaze gradually changed from doubt to shock.

"You were so young back then, do you still remember your father..." Jiang Qinghai said in a nostalgic tone, "Your father Liang Cheng and I were very good brothers back then."

"You..." Liang Rui moved his lips, his mind was in chaos, Jiang Qinghai and his father knew each other...

He never knew.

"Back then we started from scratch and did everything to make money. We managed to start a company, and it was getting better and better... However, because of greed, we took over a batch of dirty goods and got into trouble with some desperadoes. My negligence I was caught, those people threatened to kill me, and I betrayed him in order to survive." Jiang Qinghai looked at Liang Rui, and coldly spit out each word from his mouth, "Then, he died."

"I didn't kill him, but he died because of me."

"This is the last thing I want to talk about in my life. I sacrificed the life of my best brother in exchange for everything I have now." Jiang Qinghai was silent for a moment, his tone was low, "During that time, I was tortured by guilt and pain. , and finally made up my mind to adopt you back, as a little compensation for him."

"Compensation?" Liang Rui's lips were pale and trembled.

"I have to admit that compared with your father, I am more cold-blooded and selfish by nature. Although I feel guilty and sad, if I do it again, I will probably choose to protect myself... But your father is different. If it was him, maybe he would Make a different choice." Jiang Qinghai smiled self-deprecatingly, "To a certain extent, you are still very similar to him, you are by my side, and you can see and hear... But in the end, you are still more like him, not only Looks and personalities are similar."

"You gradually grow up, just like another Liang Cheng, appearing in front of me alive."

"Every time I see you, I can't forget the scene of betraying him. This nightmare haunts me forever."

"Later, when Jiang Ming wanted to die and live for you, I suddenly realized that the nightmare of that night has not gone away, and you took revenge on me instead of him."

"You will destroy my family, you will kill my only son, you will make me lose everything!"

"I said I was afraid of you, and it was true." Jiang Qinghai said.

Jiang Qinghai looked at Liang Rui, his face was almost identical to Liang Cheng's, even his expression was so similar, he seemed to be silently laughing at him, and said with a smirk, you despicable, shameless and ungrateful villain, you will definitely Lose everything!Die badly!

At this moment, Jiang Qinghai even wanted to kill him. As long as Liang Rui was killed, no one would be able to take revenge on him again!Jiang Ming will never fall in love with someone he shouldn't like again!Everything can get back on track.

His demons will have nowhere to go.

Everything originated from the soft heart that shouldn't have been there at the beginning. A person like him should not have a soft heart moment.

Liang Rui looked at Jiang Qinghai in a daze. He seemed to hear clearly, but he didn't seem to hear clearly.

After a long time, with a pale face, he murmured, "You lied to me."

In order to make him leave Jiang Ming, he did not hesitate to fabricate such a lie!

He would rather listen to Jiang Qinghai's accusations and scolding than to hear him say he was afraid of him in such a tone.

Jiang Qinghai slowly withdrew his cold gaze. Of course he couldn't kill Liang Rui, and now he can't...

He pushed the file bag in front of Liang Rui, "Whether it's true or not, you'll know after you have a look."

Liang Rui stared at the file bag, but it seemed that it contained some kind of poison, which would completely destroy everything if he touched it.He knew he shouldn't open it, but...his hand picked it up uncontrollably.If it was true, how could he give up such a truth? In his memory, only a vague outline of the appearance of his father and mother remained, but the gentle and loving gaze was always engraved deep in his heart, and he was reluctant to open it. The treasure that he treasured in the bottom of his heart was what he pursued all his life...but today, he will know why he lost it.

There are some documents and letters in the file bag, including the shareholding confirmation letter of the two people who founded the company, the letter written by Liang Cheng to Jiang Qinghai, and other odds and ends... Also, some photos, one of which is Liang Cheng was standing in front of a house with a child in his arms, which was his home, and the gentle woman next to him was his mother.

For a moment, the valve of memory seemed to be opened, and those things he thought he had forgotten ran out.

His home, his father, his mother...everything that he missed and loved, but was brutally taken away, was reborn in his memory again.

And in this photo, there is Jiang Qinghai.

He was smiling and standing beside his father.

"Speaking of which, this company was originally half of your father's, but he died, so naturally it all belongs to me." Jiang Qinghai said expressionlessly, "If you want, I can give you what you deserve. Part of it will be returned to you."

"I...deserved it?" Liang Rui smiled lightly, with a faint hint of sternness in his laughter, and he looked at Jiang Qinghai with an indescribable gaze, "A selfish person like you is willing to pay such a price , must be asking for a lot, right?"

He exhausted all his strength to keep himself sitting firmly on the chair, instead of standing up angrily and questioning angrily.

He didn't know why he kept his composure. At this time, any gaffe was actually forgivable, but he just didn't want to be seen as a joke by the man in front of him, because he had already lived like a joke. 30 years.

So no matter how angry and painful you are, keep calm.

Jiang Qinghai shook his head unexpectedly, "You are wrong. From the moment you learned the truth, my goal has been achieved, so the proposal just now is just a compensation for you."

"Compensation? Compensation!" Compensation again!Who cares about this kind of compensation!Who wants you to kill my parents and then adopt me, who wants you to take away my lover and make it up to me!You destroy everything about me and then make up for me, who cares about this kind of compensation!Liang Rui's nails were almost clenched into his flesh, but he smiled lowly, "If you make up for it, there should be interest after so many years, right?"

"You can take them all." Jiang Qinghai said lightly.

Black blood seemed to flow from Liang Rui's heart, why did he do such a thing, he could still be so indifferent, why didn't he feel pain and regret? !Liang Rui suddenly raised his voice, showing a cold smile: "This is not enough! I still want Jiang Ming, he loves me to death! I think I can accept him as compensation!"

get angry!Be angry!This is what you are most afraid of!

You paid so much, even telling me the truth, isn't it for your only precious son!

Isn't it because I'm afraid that I will hurt him!

Jiang Qinghai moved his body slightly, changed his sitting position, and looked at Liang Rui helplessly, as if he was a naughty child, "You won't want it, will you?"

"You...what did you say..." Liang Rui gritted his teeth.

"I said, you won't want him anymore." Jiang Qinghai repeated, staring deeply at Liang Rui, "Jiang Ming, he has completely inherited my selfishness, that's why he did those wrong things back then. He is really like me. Originally, you didn’t want to accept him, but now that you know this, you don’t want him anymore. There are so many outstanding people in this world, what do you want based on your conditions? If you are not good enough, why do you want him? You will think of unpleasant things when you see him... Am I right? "

"So what you said is just to annoy me." Jiang Qinghai still looked confident, and even showed a faint smile, "Take your things and walk far away , isn't it good?"

Liang Rui's body trembled, and his face was tense, as if he would lose all his strength if he let go... He couldn't say a word anymore.

Yes, he probably, there is no way to love him anymore.
