Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

Chapter 438: Integrity

Jia Dongxu was silent for a while, then looked up at He Yudong: "Do you really have no other feelings between you?"

He Yudong replied firmly: "Absolutely not. I am an upright person and I am sincere to my friends. Dongxu, I understand the importance you attach to your family, and I will never do anything that harms your feelings."

Jia Dongxu pondered, and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I believe you. I hope we can all be good friends like before, and we can face it honestly no matter what happens."

He Yudong showed a gratified smile: "Thank you for your understanding, Dongxu. I also hope that our friendship will not be hurt because of these misunderstandings. We are all working hard for a happy family, and I hope that we can both be happy in the future." Live a good life.”

The two shook hands and made peace, and the doubts in their hearts seemed to be released. Although life in the courtyard is full of twists and turns, everyone is working hard for their own happiness. He Yudong deeply hopes that this communication can bring everyone back to the simple and harmonious neighborly relationship before.

The resting area of ​​the entire hospital is quiet, as if it is also injecting a ray of warmth into this communication. He Yudong and Jia Dongxu walked out of the rest area together and looked at the bright moon outside the window.

After some communication, although Jia Dongxu believed He Yudong's answer, his doubts were not completely dissipated. He decided to investigate privately to see if he could find some evidence to confirm or deny his concerns.

A few days later, Jia Dongxu obtained some personal information of He Yudong through some channels and began to check it carefully. One night, he called He Yudong and agreed to meet in the alley of the courtyard.

He Yudong felt something unusual about Jia Dongxu on the phone and had some doubts in his heart, but he still agreed to the meeting. When the two met in the alley, He Yudong noticed the deep distrust in Jia Dongxu's eyes.

Jia Dongxu looked solemn and asked directly: "Yudong, I want to ask you something more. Can you answer it honestly?"

He Yudong was slightly stunned, but nodded: "Of course, if you have anything you want to know, I will try my best to answer it."

Jia Dongxu handed He Yudong a piece of paper, which was filled with He Yudong's personal information and some historical records. Jia Dongxu pointed to some places above, his eyes solemn: "I obtained these information through some channels, can you explain it?"

He Yudong took the paper, glanced at it, and found that some of the information on it was inconsistent with the actual situation, including address, work experience, etc. His heart tightened, and he realized that he was in a dilemma.

Jia Dongxu lowered his voice and asked: "Yudong, why did you provide such false information? Is there any reason to hide it?"

He Yudong was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and faced calmly: "Dongxu, I admit that the information I provided is indeed somewhat false. In fact, I... I once left my original life because of some things, and I felt a little bit uneasy for a while. Escape from reality.”

When Jia Dongxu heard these words, he frowned: "What are you hiding? Why do you want to leave your original life?"

He Yudong looked at Jia Dongxu and explained helplessly: "A few years ago, I encountered a family crisis. I couldn't face it at the time and chose to leave. I knew it was wrong to do this, but I couldn't at the time Going through that stress and just trying to escape and find a new life.”

When Jia Dongxu heard this reason, he was shocked and a little angry: "Why didn't you tell us why you used a false identity to get into our lives?"

He Yudong lowered his head in thought, and then said slowly: "I know it is wrong to do this, but I was in a dilemma at the time and could not deal with the problem rationally. I was afraid of losing those precious friendships and this courtyard that made me feel warm. I hope to get a new start this way.”

Jia Dongxu's anger did not subside. He asked: "Don't you think this is a betrayal of us? Why don't you believe us and why don't you share your plight with us?"

He Yudong sighed, his face full of guilt: "Yes, I know I am sorry for everyone. I was too weak at the time to face it bravely and chose the wrong way. I just wanted to start over, but I I didn’t expect things to become so complicated.”

Jia Dongxu took a long breath, and the anger on his face gradually dissipated: "Yudong, you have to understand that trust is based on honesty and candor. Your behavior is not only a betrayal of us, but also a blasphemy against friendship. Now you have to take responsibility for your choices."

He Yudong lowered his head, feeling the pain in his heart when facing Jia Dongxu's accusation. In the courtyard, the former friendship faces a severe test. And Jia Dongxu is

A few days later, the tranquility in the courtyard was broken again. A turmoil stems from an ulterior secret. Qin Huairu's child, who everyone thought was Jia Dongxu, turned out to be He Yudong's. This truth spread quickly throughout the courtyard like a shock bomb.

Facing the doubts and consternation of the residents of the courtyard, Qin Huairu and He Yudong felt helpless and troubled. He Yudong felt the gaze of the residents of the courtyard, as if there were countless pairs of eyes examining him. This pressure was almost unbearable for him.

In the small square of the courtyard, residents gathered one after another and talked about it. When Jia Dongxu heard the news, he was shocked and walked towards He Yudong angrily: "Yudong, why don't you tell me the truth? Isn't our friendship worth mentioning to you?"

He Yudong took a deep breath, knowing that he could no longer avoid it: "Dongxu, I really didn't think about this matter, but I hope you can listen to my explanation."

Jia Dongxu's eyes were cold: "Explain? What else do you have to explain? You deceived all of us, including my closest friends. How can such a betrayal be forgiven?"

He Yudong shook his head: "Dongxu, I didn't expect this matter to become so complicated. At first, Sister Qin and I did have a relationship, but I was too young and impulsive at that time and didn't have the courage to face it. , and finally chose to escape."

Jia Dongxu's eyes widened: "You and Sister Qin had a relationship? You actually hid it for so many years?"

He Yudong explained while looking at the residents in the courtyard. Although he felt Jia Dongxu's anger, he also hoped that everyone could understand: "Yes, I admit that we had a relationship. But I was too immature at the time. , I didn’t dare to face the responsibility, so I had no choice but to leave. I didn’t expect Sister Qin to be pregnant, let alone that the child was mine.”

The residents of the courtyard were talking one after another, and the whispers were full of confusion and anger. Qin Huairu lowered her head, with tears in her eyes. She felt the accusations and criticism from all around.

Jia Dongxu clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth, "What do you two want to do? Why have you hidden it from me for so many years?"

Qin Huairu looked up at Jia Dongxu, her vision blurred by tears: "Dongxu, I'm sorry. I didn't want you to know this fact at the beginning, for fear of losing you."

Jia Dongxu's heart ached like a knife, and he felt betrayed from many sides: "Lost? Don't you feel that you have lost it? Don't you feel that your actions have completely destroyed the trust and friendship between us?"

He Yudong was silent for a moment, and finally lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "Dongxu, I know I made a mistake, and I can't undo the past, but I am willing to take responsibility for all this. No matter what you decide, I will accept it."

Jia Dongxu took a deep breath, feeling the pain and helplessness in his heart: "It's all over. I no longer believe in you, and I don't want to see you again. Our friendship ends here."

After saying that, Jia Dongxu turned and left, leaving behind a messy atmosphere in the courtyard. He Yudong and Qin Huairu felt endless pressure and loneliness in full view of the public.

The atmosphere in the courtyard froze instantly. The residents seemed to have been hit hard. They all stood there dumbly. No one said a word for a while. Qin Huairu stood there, tears welling up in her eyes. She felt the eyes of all the residents in the hospital, which were full of shock and criticism, as if thousands of words were silently questioning her.

Although He Yudong had already faced Jia Dongxu's accusation, he felt even heavier under the surprised eyes of the residents of the hospital. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner anxiety, but he couldn't hide the helplessness in his eyes.

Suddenly, Qin Huairu shook and then fell softly to the ground. She cried faintly on the ground, tears moistening her face, like a helpless flower that had been plucked. The residents of the courtyard looked at this scene with an inexplicable sadness in their hearts.

Someone in the courtyard finally broke the silence. An old resident said sadly: "What happened? How did our courtyard become like this?"

Another resident sighed leisurely: "Over the years, we have always thought that this was a warm family, but we did not expect that there are so many unknown stories hidden."

The residents began to talk about it, and some old ladies whispered: "This Qin Huairu is really too much. She has hidden it for so many years."

A middle-aged aunt said angrily: "We thought He Yudong was a good person, but we didn't expect that He Yudong was also a liar. It's really disappointing."

He Yudong felt the criticism around him. He wanted to explain, but the words in his mouth could not come out. He looked at Qin Huairu lying on the ground, his heart filled with helplessness and pain.

At this time, an elderly grandfather walked up, his eyes full of deep disappointment: "Children, we have been working hard to maintain the harmony of this courtyard over the years, but I didn't expect that it was all an illusion. . Now, the person we trusted is crumbling before our eyes. This is a complete betrayal."
