Fall in love with your enemy

Continuing from the last time, it has been five days since I met Gao Xinci. I thought Jiang Yinan would be angry for a long time, but he came back on the same day.

My health was really not good, and it was just a trouble to go to him. I fainted as soon as I got out of bed, and he had to come to save me the next day. Feng Shizhi was so angry that he raised his hand like flapping wings. He scolded me and drove me out. He tormented me for a while, but he would never do it to the end. I was so sensible that I felt distressed, and I also persuaded him that I was willing, but he just wouldn't. It was over time.

Apart from being indifferent, he was still as nice to me as ever.

Chengcheng also stayed with me for a few days. I was relieved for the future of the eldest house when he said those words, but there was an inevitable gap in our hearts. He also understood, and the two siblings continued to live their lives as usual.

Only five days have passed and September is approaching.

The wedding of the Gao and Song families was on September 1st, and I had to face it. I was worried that Jiang Yinan would be resentful about this matter, but he said nothing. He seemed to have made up his mind long ago and asked someone to pack up the luggage back to Linjiang. On the last night, he just carried me into the bathroom.

I have been feeling weak ever since I was sick last time. He even took care of my bath. Trapped in the rising heat waves, I couldn't help but think of something. I put out my hand and hooked it with his. He had seen it so many times that his reaction was not too big. He just blushed. He stretched out his hand to scoop up the water with flower petals and poured it on me. His fingers stayed at one place for a moment, and then quickly moved somewhere else.

"Stop it." He reached out and touched my face: "I can't bear it anymore."

"Who asked you to endure it?"

"Your body."

"what?"

"Your body." He said solemnly, tapping my chest with his finger. "You can't bear it. You can't get sick again."

He was so serious that I felt a little shy and turned my head away. Then he held my face and turned to me, kissing me on the forehead. Just as he was about to leave, I pulled him back and kissed him on the lips. The blood on the tip of his tongue was the freshest and hottest. As we felt the blood together, it felt like a fire was burning in my heart.

After a long time, he held me in his hands, as if he was examining a treasure, his fingertips sliding through my hair: "From time to time, ten, twenty, thirty years later, if there is someone else by your side, will you forget me?"

I was stunned for a moment, then I understood what he meant. I couldn't tell the truth in my heart no matter how reluctant I was. Unfortunately, I thought of it too late and planned too quickly. I only wanted to avenge Xie Ge, thinking that he would be free after William left, but I forgot that he was William's adopted son. This was the case both legally and in fact. Even if they didn't recognize each other, in the eyes of those around them, this was a result that could never be changed. If William wanted to leave something for me, he would only pass it through Jiang Yinan, but as long as those things came into contact with him, Second Uncle would not tolerate him...

Wang Fusheng came to see me. The old man, who was over fifty years old, was in tears and only asked me to save his young master's life.

"I won't let you leave me." I stretched out my hand, my skin reddened by the hot water, and gently touched his eyebrows, nose tip, lips, and finally stopped at his brow: "I will lock you up, even if it's for a lifetime, even if I give up everything I have now and be trapped in a cage with you, I will not let him hurt you."

"Why will you never fight back?"

"If you had seen how he treated me well in the last life, you might not have asked this question." I said with tears in my eyes. Recalling the past, I really don't know how I ended up like this. I looked at him very tiredly, "Without my second uncle, I would have died a long time ago. He has always protected me and supported me, allowing me to live well for more than ten years. So until the end, I don't believe he would hurt me, so I won't do it."

Jiang Yinan put my hand on his face, rubbed it gently, and nodded with tears in his eyes: "Then you must hide me well."

I hugged him in silence.

To be honest, I'm not sure at all. Second Uncle's control over me will always be beyond my imagination. Old Fu handed Li Shirong and his group to me in order to let Second Uncle relax his vigilance. Indeed, Second Uncle believed it in the past three years. I passed a lot of information to them through these people. I poisoned Cheng Ling to death with chronic poison, prompted Ji Bing to kill the Lu family, and also indulged Cheng Cheng and treated Yang Yang slowly, causing Yang Yang's leg to deteriorate little by little...

Even Ji Bing didn’t know about these things. I involved the only available people around me and used them as bargaining chips, but what about the future?

Sooner or later he will find out, and discovery is tantamount to deception, and the cost will be greater than continuing to attack.

I used my grandmother's support to coerce Ying Qi to send me some news every once in a while. I knew that my second uncle no longer trusted him so much, but he would still find a way. I even asked him about this matter. I made up my mind. I asked if Jiang Yinan's last eye could not see, if he was completely blind and would never have the ability to rise again, would my second uncle let him go?

Ying Qi looked at me in astonishment and told me that it would be better to just kill him.

So, it's probably possible, right?

Only cruelty and pain worse than death can make people let him go. We can live in our second uncle’s cage.

As I thought about this, my hand involuntarily touched his eyes, a pair of eyes, one of which was given to me through his eyelids, with his warmth, while the other one suddenly cooled.

It was a dark blue artificial eye that looked very much like the Lin family’s.

Having one of his eyes stabbed out was already a fatal pain. I can't believe that I am going to make him despair now, but apart from this, I have no other choice. I can't leave, Jiang Yinan can't be free, Second Uncle can't be at ease, and I can't beat him...

"After the wedding, we should go on a honeymoon." I choked back my tears and said, "From now on, I will be your eyes and take you to see a world you have never seen..."

He said nothing, just nodded, a smile on his lips, tears still flowing from his eyes.

Soon the day passed, time waits for no one, life must go on. We returned to Linjiang the night before the wedding. Gao Xinci was not stable, and Linjiang was not settled either. Jiang Yinan understood. At least Gao Xinci looked much more pleasing to the eye than the other heads of the Gao family. Appearance sometimes has a certain influence. Xiao Gao was young and beautiful, and Jiang Yinan had to praise her...

"He's dressed like a colorful peacock." Jiang Yinan leaned close to my ear and pointed at Gao Xinci who was shining brightly on the stage.

I burst out laughing and looked in the direction of his finger. Gao Xinci didn't care about this wedding, so he didn't care about the dress from the beginning. They were all prepared by the Song family. Although the Song family was rotten to the core, its external reputation was still preserved, so the dress was also low-key. Song Fei wore a slim fishtail wedding dress in the most holy and pure white. Gao Xinci's outfit was completely opposite to hers, a pure black straight suit, which was actually not very ostentatious. If we had to find a luxurious part in this picture, it would be the jewels on their bodies and hands.

It looks like the work of the Han family.

Just as I was thinking about this, Aunt Han had already walked up to me and patted my shoulder gently, very pleased: "The Song family didn't get any advantage."

I turned around and smiled. The jewels were enough to explain it all.

The jewelry that the Song family gave to Gao Xinci, such as the custom-made ring on his hand, the tiger brooch inlaid with red agate, yellow diamond and black jade on his chest, and the watch made of meteorite, all have good meanings.

But Gao Xinci only gave Song Fei one thing, which was the bracelet on her hand. The silver branches were winding, and at the end grew a wild and gorgeous rose, but it was a black rose, symbolizing sadness, death, farewell, or deception.

This wedding was nothing more than a sham from beginning to end.

Everyone was involved. Originally, the two of them were the ones who set up the trap, but unfortunately Song Fei was deceived by herself. I could see that she liked Gao Xinci, but Gao Xinci only had the responsibility of an ally to her. She wanted to be able to stand independently on the land of Linjiang in the future, so she couldn't disturb Gao Xinci too much, so she had no chance to fight for it after the wedding.

She wanted to hold his hand, but before she could touch it, he took his hand away.

Gao Xinci turned around and said, "Ms. Song, the wedding is over. The scam is over. We both got what we wanted. Happy cooperation."

Song Fei was speechless, and after a few seconds of hesitation, he finally agreed. At least now, by shaking hands and wearing this wedding dress, there was still a chance for their bodies to have one last contact.

"Okay." She took a deep breath and said, "Director Gao, it's a pleasure to work with you."

"Qin Yu has been taken to the backyard. Gao Xinci has presented evidence that she sold the shares and properties of the Gao family's shipbuilding company. In fact, according to family rules, she does not actually own that much. Most of it belongs to the Gao family. She only has the power to manage it. Selling it is a crime."

Aunt Han sighed deeply, but she always had a faint smile on her face.

"On the government side, everyone in the Gao family signed a reconciliation agreement and was willing to compensate everyone for their financial losses. They only asked that Qin Yu be dealt with according to the Gao family rules. The government was afraid that Qin Yu would be threatened, so they only gave her half an hour. After the time was up, they would take her away and release her after a careful questioning. If she chose to go to jail, the Gao family would be helpless. Gao Xinci agreed."

"There's nothing we can do if he doesn't agree. We can't let today's incident become so serious that we have to execute Tan Yu in front of the public." I smiled bitterly and squeezed Jiang Yinan's hand behind me: "It seems we are late."

Jiang Yinan put his arm around my shoulders and looked very close to the audience: "But Gao Zhongwu is still here."

Aunt Han laughed out loud, responding to the toasts from the people behind her and explaining: "Gao Zhongwu is the head of a family after all. He is capable, and he turned back from his mistakes and helped Gao Xinci resolve the crisis. Most importantly, he is the nephew of the deceased old lady Gao, and everyone has to give her face. The Gao family also signed a letter of understanding for him and promised that he would not even be punished by any family rules."

"Qin Yu is also the head of the family, and she is not from an unknown background. She is the daughter of Gao Baoyi, who has made contributions to the Gao family." Jiang Yinan sneered in disgust.

For the same mistake, in the Gao family, men are more likely to escape blame than women. In their hearts, Qin Yu will always have an unforgivable mistake, except today, it was the same in the past. She cheated on her husband and had a child with her lover. When her husband found out, he threw the child to death on the spot. Everyone scolded her for getting what she deserved and the child for being innocently implicated, but they forgot the two men involved in this matter, her husband and her lover.

Gao Dabao has a bad temper and is moody. Qin Yu was forced to marry him and was humiliated. Gao Baoyi, that idiot, is out of his mind. He is unwilling to have no child, so he abandons his daughter and adopts Gao Dabao, a son from a side branch. He also forces his daughter to abandon her surname Gao and change her name to Qin Yu. In turn, she marries Gao Dabao and becomes the daughter-in-law of her own father. She has suffered for the father and son all year round, earning money and taking care of the housework outside. She has done her best. Qin Yu was wrong to betray the marriage, but Gao Dabao, who grew up relying on others for food and drink and sucking their blood, has no right to judge Qin Yu. He has not fulfilled any of his obligations as a husband.

That was Qin Yu's home, Qin Yu's father, Qin Yu's family and property. She was used to taking other people's things and really treated them as her own, and even turned around and killed her only child.

As for the lover, he is Gao Zhongwu. He is Tan Yu's uncle. They are in love with each other and have a child together. But when something happened, he dumped him completely, abandoned his wife and children, and relied on his aunt to leave the Gao family's old house to study abroad. When he came back, he had many children and grandchildren, and he still expected Tan Yu to remain faithful to him. Tan Yu wanted to take revenge on the Gao family and asked him for help. It was obviously a mutually beneficial and win-win situation, but he asked Tan Yu to get back together with him, completely ignoring the fact that he has a wife and children, and let Tan Yu face the public opinion in front, while he hid behind. He is nearly 20 years younger than Tan Yu, but he doesn't feel disgusting. Now, he has betrayed Tan Yu with a lot of righteousness and morality.

Even though they were accomplices in making the same mistake, the man could hide away and leave her alone to endure the rumors.

Qin Yu gave birth smoothly, and she did not suffer any physical injuries to the point of losing her fertility. I read her physical examination report, and it was only when Gao Xinci and I talked about it during the few days we were together that I learned that Qin Yu had fallen seriously ill after losing her son. The accident happened on the day she was caught cheating. It was raining heavily that day, and no one rescued the child after he fell to death. The door of the house was closed, and Qin Yu could not get out. She just walked and begged in the yard over and over again, holding the bloody body, and enduring everyone's accusations.

No one wanted the "bastard" to be alive, so they all wanted to wait for the child to die. Since the law would not hold everyone responsible, they were not afraid of the crime of murder. They could say that the child had died at that time, and they could say that Qin Yu's cry for help was because she was mentally ill and mistakenly believed that the child was still alive.

Later, Qin Yu couldn't bear it anymore. She put the child on the ground and jumped into the deep pool at home. She knew that she was the third wife's daughter after all, and no one dared to watch her die. She wanted to open the door in this way and give the child a chance of life. Unfortunately, it was too late. The child had died. Qin Yu also got sick because of jumping into cold water during the confinement period and would never have children again.

She was killed by everyone in the Gao family, so it's no wonder she took revenge in this way.

As for her father Gao Baoyi, he was not there on the day she was victimized. If he was there, he might have really protected Qin Yu, but the reason was simply because he didn't care whose child Qin Yu gave birth to, as long as he had a child, it was enough. It was also her father who initially brought nightmares to Qin Yu, so she had no hope and killed her father with her own hands to avenge her child.

But in the end, she failed. How could she be the only one to bear the consequences?

Besides my pity for Qin Yu, if Gao Zhongwu is alive, he will only share Gao Xinci's power, which is not good for me. If he is completely disabled or dead, the Gao family will be completely controlled by Gao Xinci.

I smiled, pulled Jiang Yinan's tie close to my ear, and glanced in the direction of Gao Zhongwu not far away: "Don't worry, he will be gone in a while."
