Jane Mo slightly bitter tugged the corners of his mouth, the corners of his mouth moved lightly. Lemon’s eyes but then turned to Zhong Yu face, she frowned, seems to be in the brewing general, a serious, said, “You are not my father!”
Zhong Yu face instantly sunk down, the corner of the eye a twitch, the heart of a wave of bitterness and a wave of surging up. Children’s words are reckless, the words of small children but words like a sword inserted in his heart. He gently wiped lemon corner of the eye of the teardrops, “lemon, you see–”
“Well, go back.” Jane Mo interrupted.
“Mom–” Lemon immediately jumped into the arms of Jane Mo, full of aggression.
“Good boy, we go back to mom to eat baked cookies.” Jane Mo turned around.
Moonlight ghostly cast on the side of Zhong Yu’s face, leaving a shadow, Zhong Yu’s face is calm with the silence of the stagnant water like. “Jian Mo, you are so unwilling to tell the child the truth?”
Jane Mo’s body shape slightly a beat, finally did not say anything.
This time up the stairs, lemon did not as usual want Zhong Yu to hold, she tightly ringed Jane Mo’s neck. The child’s heart is ultimately sensitive and suspicious, she longs for her father, but in the face of Zhong Yu reveals, she is somewhat resistant.
Back home, Jane’s aunt just cut the fruit, saw them back, asked, “Today so early back? Come over and eat the fruit.” She didn’t pay too much attention to the two’s complexion.
“Auntie, you take the lemon to wash it first.” Jian Mo said in a flat tone.
Only then did Tao Ping look over squarely, vaguely feeling that something was different, “Good.” Then she looked at Zhong Yu’s face and instantly understood.
Only two people were left in the living room, and the atmosphere was somewhat stagnant.
Jian Mo walked over to the sofa and sat down, his face expressionless. From time to time, Zhong Yu also sat on the other side, his ten fingers interlocked, his jaw taut, you could tell he had been restraining himself.
“Why don’t you explain it all to Lemon?” After a moment of silence, he asked.
Jian Mo’s gaze was fixed on the coffee table where their mother and daughter’s palm prints were placed, that was when Lemon was just born, Ning Qingyuan found someone to do it. Lemon always liked to compare them, she didn’t believe it was her hand at all, always saying, “It’s so small, it’s so small, how can this be my hand.”
She hooked the corner of her mouth, raised her eyes to meet him, and softly said, “Zhong Yu, have you ever thought about it, telling you that you are Lemon’s father, after that?” She said word by word.
Zhong Yu listened to her words, self-mockingly hooked the corners of his mouth, but the her in front of him was a bit strange.
“She’ll ask, why isn’t daddy with mommy?” Jian Mo said faintly, her brows slightly knitted up a trace. “How are you going to explain to her?”
Zhong Yu only felt like his throat had been scalded by boiling water, “I-”
“Are you trying to make up a reason?” She let out a light laugh, “Then what? But it’s impossible for us to be together.” She bit the corner of her lip, “My heart is small, too small to take another deception.” The warm orange light hit her face, and every subtle expression on her face was magnified in the bottom of Zhong Yu’s eyes.
Zhong Yu’s entire body froze there, his face turning pale, “Mo Mo, why – can’t you forgive me once?” He said with some difficulty.
Jane Mo took a deep breath, “It’s never a matter of forgiving or not forgiving, Zhong Yu, we – all in the past.” The past will never come back. She is ultimately a desperate person, in this lifetime she will never forgive her father, Zhong Yu is the same. Because of the deep love, can not bear the heartache of betrayal.
Zhong Yu leaned over, one leg kneeling on the ground, his face somewhat distorted, “Mo Mo, don’t be like this, we still have lemons.” Voice through the wireless sour, he is aware of, this woman if ruthless but what can be done out. When that thing she can not say a word of determination to leave, Zhong Yu know her nature of mind, will not care about him. These days, he brazenly traveled through her home, she never said a word, just because of lemon, because he is the father of the child.
“Forget about the times I’ve been a jerk, okay?” Zhong Yu’s voice choked a little for a moment, “I’m sorry, Mo Mo, I’m sorry.”
Jane Mo pinched her palm with a deadly grip, her bones gradually turning white from the exertion, tough and suppressed, she had loved the man in front of her. It’s just that after many years, she realized that she couldn’t love anymore. Looking at his mournful face, she knew that now he was sincere, just what could be done?
A heart had been broken once, it was enough.
Bathroom.
Lemon is washing white, this girl loves to sing in the shower, sometimes she doesn’t know the lyrics at all, so she hums randomly.
Tao Ping full of eyes is actually love, eyes turn, “just downstairs to play what ah?”
Lemon stopped singing, little mouth pouted, said aggrieved, “Auntie, the kids said I don’t have a dad.”
Tao Ping heart dissatisfaction up, now parents how to hand over children, so no family education, she pity said, “Lemon of course has a father, just your father made a mistake, now in the effort to correct the mistake, when he corrected it will come to see Lemon.” I also don’t know what is in the heart of this child, Jian Mo. Jane Mo never talked to them about what happened back then, Tao Ping thought that Zhong Yu was promiscuous and that Jane Mo left him in the end. Her biggest worry was the impact that Jane Mo’s parents’ affair had on her.
“Actually I know, john is my dad.” Lemon said vibrantly.
The corners of Tao Ping’s mouth filled with bitterness and she smiled shallowly, “You’re the one who knows more.” Scooping up a towel to wrap the child up and put Lemon to sleep she came out.
Only Jane Mo was left alone in the living room. Tao Ping sighed in her heart and walked over.
Jian Mo raised her eyes and curved the corners of her mouth, “Lemon asleep?”
“Sleeping. I was beckoning, one bite at a time why?” Tao Ping was helpless and joyful, who could not like such a lovely granddaughter, no wonder the Zhong family could not wait.
“That’s how she is.” The corner of Jian Mo’s mouth curved up into a smile.
Tao Ping stared at her smile in stunned silence for a few seconds, “Xiao Mo ah, after you came back, there are some things that Auntie has been wanting to say to you.” She paused slightly, “Everything should be looked forward, there is no need to be too obsessive, you are still young.”
There was a short silence.
Jian Mo’s heart moved slightly and said softly, “Auntie, I know everything.”
Zhong Yu sped all the way, there is a kind of venting madness, perhaps it is his life everything is too smooth, there is this. That night he returned to the apartment, he looked at everything in front of him, here what has not changed, but things are not the same. Zhong Yu heart bitter, a cup and a cup of filling wine, the brain over and over again to recall the words of Jane Mo, “Zhong Yu you simply do not love me, you are just not willing to just.” His heart sank in one.
Yes, he was unwilling, unwilling that he lost in that gamble in a mess.
After a night of heavy drinking, he’d gone to bed in a daze for the night, and when he woke up the next day, his head felt heavy, and he didn’t care. He now also try not to go back to his parents, every time to go inevitably be disliked.
The temperature in c city has plummeted in the past few days, and many people are suffering from the flu. Zhong Yu also caught up. In the morning, the deputy director came to find him, said that the Ningyuan Group to give up the investment in the city of c, the provincial head is now busy for this matter. Dozens of billions of projects, pulling a whole body, and how many eyes in this matter staring.
Zhong Yu rubbed his brow, “The reason.”
The deputy bureau was a bit uneasy, he kept rubbing his hands, “How do I know, Ning Qingyuan that person is not coming out now. Bureau Zhong, when it comes to this matter, the higher-ups gave it to our bureau in the first place, but now if it turns out to be yellow-” His career is almost at an end. The deputy bureau wiped the beads of sweat from the corners of his forehead, undisguised urgency and anxiety, “Look at what to do now? That Ning’s female head, aren’t you familiar with it.”
Zhong Yu narrowed his eyes, but he was not panicked, only his eyes were deep, his index finger moved slightly, “You go back first, this matter is not urgent.”
The deputy bureau looked at his calm and collected appearance, his heart was slightly more solid, and he nodded repeatedly.
Zhong Yu couldn’t figure it out, if Ning Qingyuan wanted to gain a foothold in C city, this time was the perfect opportunity, he was a businessman, he would never not understand. Giving up now, where was his reason? Could it be for Jane Mo? Zhong Yu looked at the blue sky, the corners of his mouth twitching sorrowfully, don’t love rivers and mountains, love beautiful people?
In the afternoon, he had a headache, he went to the hospital, the doctor a cool body temperature, suggested that he hang salt water. Zhong Yu went to hang up the number. The ward on the top floor is empty. He stayed alone in the ward, and it was hard to wait until the water was hung up.
He pressed the cotton while preparing to go back. Just came out, did not walk a few steps, saw Jane Mo in a hurry towards him, he was full of doubts, but vaguely mixed with a few points of joy, could it be to see him? Although his heart was a little thirsty, he still pretended to be calm on his face.
Jane Mo saw him slightly stunned, did not say anything, then walked forward.
Zhong Yu loosened the cotton, hands unconsciously clenched, behind the doctor followed up, see the back of his hands at the needle are seeping out of the blood, busy said, “Zhong young, relax relax.”
Zhong Yu frowned, “Dr. Fang, is there a patient named Ning on this floor?”
Dr. Fang nodded, “Just came this morning.”
Zhong Yu pursed the corners of his lips as he thought about which one of the Ning family was it? He saw two people walk out of the ward at the top, Ning’s father and Mrs. Ning, both of them enveloped in a layer of gloomy aura. Zhong Yu turned his face, “Dr. Fang, is the patient’s name Ning Qingyuan?” He was just skeptical.
“You recognize it?” Dr. Fang asked in return.
Zhong Yu hooked the corner of his mouth, “Recognize, have dealings. What’s wrong with him?”
“Tumor in the brain.” Dr. Fang said faintly.
Zhong Yu was stunned and incredulous.
