Fall in love with your enemy

Continuing from the last time, William and I have completely fallen out. I don’t know what he was thinking, but he handed me the biggest handle, Liang Sen, and yet he is still expecting something unrealistic, saying that I am looking for death. I am not afraid of death, but I will not allow me to die alone.

"I've already told you that if I don't return to the Fu family safely before 10 o'clock tonight, I will kill your last hope in this world if even a hair is missing. Your son, daughter-in-law, granddaughter, Jiang Yinan, and Nanxing will all be strangled to death on the beams with iron chains as thick as my fingers. Finally, I'll cut them into pieces and send them to you as a gift." I walked up to him and spoke with a smile, enunciating each word. Tears fell from my eyes, like boulders smashing the person in front of me to death.

William's face suddenly turned cold, and all the arrogance he had just had was gone. It was really foolish to always rely on the enemy's softness for victory.

"No, it's ok for others, but Jiang Yinan, you can't bear to..." He lowered his head and muttered as if to comfort himself, and suddenly raised his head to punish: "You dare not! For the sake of Lin Moxie who died early, you didn't even dare to kill Jiang Yinan, and you even sacrificed yourself for investigating a case. You are the softest!"

"But didn't we find out anything?" I calmly interrupted all his words, moved closer, looked up at his eyes and said, "Uncle San, I'm just pretending. Guess why I don't force Jiang Yinan to tell the truth about Xie Ge's murder? Guess how long it would take for me to get the answer if I put him on a stick and roasted him over a fire? I like him, so I can't bear to let him go. But if it's just for someone else, I have plenty of ways to make him wish he were dead. As for Xie Ge's matter, I'm not in a hurry because I don't need to know who the real murderer is. It's been so many years, I don't expect to find out."

"Then what do you want?"

"What I want is just one range. Kill them all within this range. Are you afraid that I won't be able to kill any of the masterminds or accomplices? How many people are there in your family?"

William remained silent. My words made so much sense that he couldn't find any fault with them. I was just afraid that he was still thinking in his heart that I was such a well-behaved person, and even if it was for some benefit, I was just being clever. He thought that his grudge against me was only deception, but he never thought how he could do this. It was like he suddenly changed his face today. It was ridiculous, everything was ridiculous.

"Think about it carefully. Maybe you are right. I really can't bear to kill Liang Sen. He was the person I trusted the most and saved my life. No matter what his relationship with you is or how I see you, he will always be my brother. Jiang Yinan is also included. I will keep him, but what about the others? First of all, Qin Ke is a traitor. I let her go only for Liang Sen's sake. But if I need her one day, it is reasonable to take action."

"Besides, when did a person stop needing his parents? That is when he became a parent himself. Liang Sen had actually been looking for you guys before. He told me countless times that he envied a family as incomplete as mine. Really, he said that at least he knew his origins and his destination. But since he had Yuanyuan, he never mentioned you again. I have known him longer than you, and I understand his weaknesses better than you. Do you think his brother who depends on him, his wife he loves deeply, and his lovely daughter are more important than a father who can only be the icing on the cake? Oh, I am also confident. He doesn't know that we are related by blood, but he has also said long ago that he treats me like his own sister. I am his second relative after Liang He. He hates you. Do you think he will have to avenge me if I die here again?"

"I can't take your son away from you, but the bargaining chips in my hand are enough to force your son to death at any time."

"You are the mastermind who alienated my father and me! You just hid the truth from him and he didn't know the relationship between us. He longed for his parents and relatives so much, but you stopped him from looking for them. Do you think he would be grateful to you? He will only hate you. You even killed his mother with your own hands. You are just an ungrateful person!" William's face was red, as if he had grasped a handle to criticize me, but he was not confident enough, and it seemed that something was leaking. He spoke in a lower voice: "As for, as for what you said about Yuanyuan, I don't need this grandson! As for the child, I can just have another one. As for Liang He, he is just a stranger who took my son's name and has nothing to do with me. Qin Ke, if he wants to die, go ahead and die. It has nothing to do with me!"

"Really?" I lowered my head and laughed, then sat back on the sofa and sat calmly: "It depends on whether your son still wants those people. But, Third Uncle, you said it so well, why can't you do it yourself? As for children, at most you can have another one, and as for a wife, if she dies, you can marry another one. You are not that old. My Yangyang is the trouble left to me by Old Fu who is over 50 years old. It's Liang Yun who can't have children, not you. Liang Sen hates you, so why don't you marry another one and have another one? Have a whole bunch of children! Am I stopping you from enjoying the happiness of having two wives?"

"I want to save your face. Isn't it good to live in peace? Just pretend that you know nothing, so that Liang Sen can live happily, and I let you die quietly, and we will be happy. Three years ago, it was you who asked me to defeat you, and you were not as skilled as me, and now you blame me? Or do you think that I will still provide for Third Aunt in her old age after you fall? Am I so kind? Since we have already agreed to be enemies, why bother me? Liang Sen is your son to me, and it will be the same if he goes to yours. There is no difference. Otherwise, why did Third Aunt hide it for so long? I guess even if Liang Sen knew the truth, he would hope that we can live in harmony, and I can let his family go."

William walked over tremblingly, holding the back of the sofa, and sat on the sofa opposite me. I took out my cell phone and dialed Liang Sen's number, turned on the speakerphone, and the beeping sound echoed all over the wall in the empty and silent living room. Soon the call was picked up on the other side, and Liang Sen's slightly resentful voice was heard.

"Hello? Ancestor, you finally remembered to come to me for something?"

"Did I piss you off again? How come I'm being annoying again?" I said this in my normal, very pleasant tone. Liang Sen didn't hear anything unusual and lengthened his tone with a very "disdainful" tone.

"Hey - what's going on? Just ask the little ancestor and the little little ancestor and you'll know. Come here, two little bastards! Tell us whether you're going home or not?"

Then came the voices of He He and Yuan Yuan: "Aunt, I'm not going home! I want to play snowballs with uncle. If I beat uncle, he will treat me to ice cream!"

"Look at her! She's already cheating at such a young age. Who taught her that? She dug a hole in my path and waited for me to fall before she rode on my neck. Did I lose? I was afraid that she would fall when I flipped over! But she stuffed snowballs into my clothes and froze me to death!"

He He just kept complaining, but Liang Sen had already seen through everything. He sneered and patted him: "Since you were bullied so badly, are you going home?"

He He didn't even hesitate: "No!"

Liang Sen could only vent his anger on me, nagging: "Look at you, in the middle of summer you made a playground for them to have a snowball fight, so in the winter should you heat up the swimming pool so they can learn to swim?"

"Isn't that a hot spring? We have one at home, why would we bother with that?"

"Tsk, my focus is on the good conditions you created! The two little brats didn't even come back home."

"It's not easy to get a holiday, the most important thing is to have fun. If she doesn't want to go home, then don't go home. Besides, with her aunt's ability, as long as it's in Linjiang City, anywhere she likes can be her home."

"That's true."

Liang Sen paused for a moment, then sent William a cannon on my behalf: "By the way, Shishi, have you gone home? Did that old monster give you any trouble?"

"He's still here. I even turned on the speakerphone." I looked up at William, who was staring at a phone with only a call interface, with his eyes wide open and tears falling down.

Liang Sen was a little embarrassed, but only a little: "Oh, I'm sorry."

I smiled and pushed the tissue to William, while continuing to say, "Yuanyuan, say hello to grandpa. He is so sad now. Grandpa loves children very much. Can you comfort him?"

Yuanyuan certainly didn't understand the twists and turns of the strange logic, she just obeyed her most innocent kindness and deliberately used a baby voice: "Hello Grandpa, Grandpa, don't cry, baby will sing for you, okay?"

William's mouth trembled and he couldn't utter a word.

"Well, okay, Grandpa looks like he's sleepy and wants to go to sleep. Yuanyuan, sing for Grandpa next time. Have fun. I'll pick you up when aunt comes back, okay?" I said, staring at William, and he finally looked up at me from this moment on.

The people on the other end of the phone knew nothing about this and still looked happy. Yuanyuan replied sweetly, "OK," and then walked away with He He's laughter. Liang Sen took back the control of the phone.

"It's so late, you should go home, will Feng Shizhi pick you up?"

"Feng Shizhi is busy with company matters. He's not here. Brother, why don't you come pick me up? Third Uncle looks very tired and has no appetite. There's no dinner at home. I'm starving. You haven't eaten either, right?"

"Well, that's fine. I'll pick you up and we'll find a place to have dinner first."

After saying a few farewell words casually, I hung up the phone. William was still staring at me dimly with a complicated expression. I couldn't tell whether it was disappointment, sadness, reluctance or resentment.

"Uncle San, can I go home with my brother?" I smiled and shook my phone: "I don't think anyone wants their happy family to push the door and find a cold iron chain waiting for them. The most pitiful thing is that Yuanyuan is still young, only two years old..."

"You dare!" William shouted angrily, knocking the cup on the table. The hot tea splashed all over his hands, leaving his skin red. He gritted his teeth and vented all his anger word by word: "If you dare to touch a hair on them, I will kill your whole family."

I chuckled and looked him straight in the face: "Anyway, the most important one to me is already dead, so the rest is up to you."

I don't know what happened, maybe it was because of what Yuanyuan said just now, I suddenly felt kind. I confronted William for a long time, rummaged through the bag at hand, and took out a photo from my wallet. It was a photo of Liang Sen's family of four. Looking at Yuanyuan who was smiling the cutest in the photo, I smiled too, and then handed the photo to William.

"So that you don't forget what your granddaughter looks like, or worse, forget your own son because you haven't seen him many times. You remember Liang Sen's name, but do you know Yuanyuan's name?" William didn't respond, so I took the photo back and wrote a few words on the back of the photo: "Liang Yuanqing, remember this name, in case she is the last granddaughter of your lineage."

"What do you want in exchange for letting them go?" William paused for a long time before finally saying this. He looked at me sincerely, choking with sobs, as if he had accepted his fate. "Do you want to exchange my life and mine for my child? Sure, let my child go..."

Seeing his look like that, my eyes suddenly became sore again. I hated him so much. Why did he act so pitiful? It made me look like the bad guy instead.

"Stop crying so pitifully. I'm much sadder than you. It's been three years. My father can finally breathe a sigh of relief in his grave. He used his life to exchange for my brief peace in the Fu family. Only after he died did I know what it meant to grow up. I had no shelter, no one to rely on. I relied on myself. Chengcheng and I found a way out little by little. Living was a luxury for me, and you didn't block all the wind and rain for me. Third uncle, maybe you also had such a hard time. You always claimed that it was my father's fault, but have you ever thought that you didn't die in that way? You still survived. You also looked forward to life, right? But if it weren't for my father, you would have been burned to death in that fire. No, you wouldn't have survived that fire. In the old house, you might have frozen to death or starved to death in some deserted corner. It was because he gave you the chance to survive that you were able to live, but in the end you forced him to death."

William didn't necessarily listen to everything I said, he just nodded, nodding heavily with every word.

Behold, he would humble himself even to this degree for his family, and yet he does not consider my suffering as suffering.

I sighed and didn't want to talk about the past with such a person, because it was meaningless: "You will know what I want to do soon. As long as you don't act rashly, I will be Liang Sen's family member. I will give him the life of a proper young master of the Fu family. I will give him the highest power I can give. I will treat Yuanyuan as my own daughter and even give her a share of the property. But the premise of these things is you. I give you the power to choose freely."

William's mood had long been thrown out of the window, and I was too lazy to say anything more. Why should I express all my hatred to him in one day? Although he didn't have much time left, it would be best if this kind of pain slowly spread throughout the body before death.

Liang Sen is almost here to pick me up.

William finally came out to see me off at the last minute. Seeing Liang Sen, he greeted him reluctantly, and then took the bag from my hand as usual. Nanxing also followed him out. He was always panicking, but when I asked him to go back to Fu's house with me, he refused and was always stubborn. Maybe he didn't want to see Jiang Yinan again. The two people who broke free from the cage didn't want to get close to each other in the future, otherwise their minds would always be filled with the haze of the past. Although Nanxing had never forgotten it in his heart, he probably didn't want Jiang Yinan to be like him, and he didn't want to see me either.

William told me to rest assured and told me that Nanxing might be the one to see him off in the end, and he would not do anything to Nanxing.

Nanxing breathed a sigh of relief, and so did I. Otherwise, if he died, I wouldn’t know where to find someone to hire in a month.

I pretended again, said a few goodbyes and left. Liang Sen protected me everywhere. I didn't know if William was discouraged. He hung his head and stared at our car as it left. I couldn't see him after turning the corner, and I didn't know how long he would stand there.

I held my breath and ate dinner before going home, so that Liang Sen would not notice anything unusual. As soon as I got home, my brother kept a close eye on me. Besides, my second uncle and his family came, and our family has always lived in Qiangshan. I pretended to be sick and did not go through the interrogation. Anyway, they did not see that I looked okay, so they let me go. I asked someone about Jiang Yinan's location and learned that he had also moved back and was in his room, so I hurried back and almost exposed my true colors.

I pushed the door open and saw that he still hadn't turned on the lights. After Liang Yun died, he always kept the lights off and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, only turning back when he heard any noise. He was also anxious about William calling me away, but unfortunately I was more anxious than him. I slammed the door, rushed towards him in two steps, pulled him down by his tie before he could speak, kissed his lips, bit his lips, and demanded it urgently, locking all my tears and resentment in the violent kiss.

This is the first time in our two lifetimes that we have been so paranoid and so crazy.
