Fall in love with your enemy

Continuing from the last time, William came to me and said those few words. He didn't care whether I trusted him or not, and I didn't care either. I just knew that my three years of hard work had come to nothing. As for him, I guess he was too old to struggle anymore. Besides, he had just recognized his son and didn't want to cause any more trouble for Liang Sen.

But I also have some persistence. I will never coexist peacefully with the enemy who killed my family.

So when he took the child back, he calmed himself down, held Gao Xinci's hand and sat up straight with difficulty: "Don't even think about it."

As soon as I finished speaking, people from my family and Gao's family rushed in. Their number was no less than He Yun's. William sighed deeply for this. Liang Sen was stuck in the middle and was in a dilemma. Seeing that no one could persuade him, he had to remain silent and wait for the result. But at this moment, the child started crying. First, the one in Zhizhi's arms came in, one by one, and then the one in my arms came in. I had to coax him first.

"See, even children know the importance of form better than you do." William sneered and shook his head: "I apologize to you for what Lin Mo wrote. It is reasonable for you to resent it, but I didn't ask you to forgive me. Just stop for three years, just three years, okay?"

I didn't dare to let my guard down, and I couldn't help but feel resentful and resentful, but the child was crying and I could only calm down for the time being. In addition, I was really curious about why he took the initiative to make peace, so I asked, "Why?"

"Because I like to compare myself with people who are equally matched with me. I don't want to be an ant that can be easily crushed to death." William raised his chin and motioned me to look at my weak body and two children: "Shishi, look at what you are like now, look at your children, they were born prematurely, and your body is also depleted. You could have taken care of them for five years and they would be fine, but now something went wrong. What if I die before you win? Have you thought about the children?"

Maybe because he didn't want William to curse me so blatantly, Liang Sen became a little anxious and glanced at William: "Dad..."

William snorted coldly and raised his hand to signal me not to say anything. He continued to talk to me: "Look behind you again. Even if you are willing to give up your child and fight me with your life, what about him?"

I glanced sideways and saw Gao Xinci. I hesitated when I was really faced with the love that still rushed into my heart despite years of separation. I was still holding his hand. It was me who said I would never see you again, and it was me who was bothering him now. Gao Xinci didn't care. He stroked my hair and said it was okay.

"Gao family kids, look at your head of the family. He looks like he's possessed. You are loyal to him, but have you ever thought about what will happen to him if he offends me for someone irrelevant? The eldest branch of the Gao family is finally getting better. Does he want to be distracted by this? What if he loses? He plotted to kill Gao Zhongwu, abolished the five heads of the family, and made him the only one in charge. Which of these is not enough to make people hate him to death? His position is unstable, but he can fall with just a slight push. If he falls, will you still have a good life? Whether for him or for you, shouldn't we advise him?"

Zhu Wenqing was stunned when he heard this, and his eyes turned to Zuo Qiao, who gritted his teeth and stood up: "What do you mean by irrelevant people? Since Miss Fu is Xin Ci's sweetheart, she is our young lady. No family would abandon their wives in times of crisis."

"Wife? Are you crazy or blind? Fu Xishi's husband is Jiang Yinan! She is my son, and she is my son's widow. Now she has given birth to my son's two children. When did she become your young lady? Ask Shishi if she recognizes her as such. Besides, I am also her third uncle by blood. So why are you outsiders interfering in our family affairs?" William said with some anger.

Zuo Qiao was defeated, looked at Gao Xinci and took a step back.

William glanced at me again: "Shishi, I have never blamed you for Nan Nan's death. What about you? Do you feel a little guilty about him? In order to achieve your goal and to avenge Lin Moshu, how many things have you done to let him down? It doesn't matter if I fall, he is my son, so what? Do you think that as long as Nan Xing's life is saved and his identity is changed, he can live well? Do you think he would feel better if everyone around him died at the beginning? You didn't consider all these for him, which means you don't love him that much! It was just forced by the situation and for your own consideration. He died without a complete body in the end, which was the greatest relief for him! Because your lies will no longer work!"

"You lost your brother, father, and mother at a young age, and your life was difficult. You can blame me, but why do you blame him? He was forced to do it, and others don't know about it, so you don't know about it either? Why have you never been understanding of him? How can he live if you keep blaming and humiliating him? Do you know that he actually has a very bad memory? In his entire life, the only three years he spent with you with great care are the ones that he remembers best."

I couldn't bear it any longer. It wasn't long after the incident and time couldn't save me. I still remember everything about him. I laughed and cried, but in the end, it ended up like that. Even the smile I recall is covered with a layer of gray.

Did I do anything after he died? I could do nothing for my child, not even getting drunk and forgetting things. I just cried, or looked through his old things, his writings, his clothes, and read them over and over again, crying until I was out of breath. Zhizhi persuaded me, the doctor warned me, and finally everyone had no choice but to follow me. But no matter what I did, he would never come back.

Later, this emotion turned into hatred, because he committed suicide. I began to hate him for abandoning me. Taking advantage of Zhizhi's offer to go out with me, I wore the clothes he bought for me during the days when I went down the mountain, including long skirts, couple outfits, and even a wedding dress, and walked through the places we had walked together to find him. After failing, I cried in the corner. When strangers came up to me and asked me about my husband, I said that my husband was dead and he didn't want me anymore.

The last time, the child couldn't stand my torture anymore. Lu Zeyun scolded me and said that I would have a miscarriage if I did that again. I went to the bridgehead with this twisted hatred and a little bit of awareness of being a mother in my heart. I waited from sunrise to sunset. Cars came and went behind me, and there would be no one around me anymore. So I gave up at dusk, took off my engagement ring and threw it into the river rushing into the sea. After returning home, Jiang Yinan's belongings were almost all burned.

I think I still love him. I did the same thing after my brother passed away. I threw away the keepsakes and burned all the relics. From then on, he was only in my heart. I expressed my feelings for him out loud: "I love him, I love his..." After saying this, I almost cried until I was exhausted.

The Gao family had nothing to say to me, and Gao Xinci's hand loosened a little without saying a word, but I knew that he was going to give up. We are no longer teenagers or twenty-year-olds. In the adult world, you have to give up to get something. No one will stubbornly rush forward to face a "No Way Out" sign after being rejected and deceived thousands of times. As a businessman, Gao Xinci will not do that out of instinct.

The best way to deal with impossible things is to stay away from them, so as to avoid being dragged into the trajectory of fate and being beaten to a bloody pulp, only to get a lesson that is humiliating and disgraceful.

I let out a long sigh, even the sound was trembling: "Xin Ci, please go."

Gao Xinci trembled but did not stand up.

"Second Uncle should be on the way. If we don't leave now, we'll both be in trouble if he sees us."

Gao Xinci then moved and turned his head to see what Feng Shizhi meant. Zhizhi nodded, which meant that enough people from the Fu family had been brought here and I would not suffer any loss. He helped me sit up and asked Zhizhi to take care of me, and walked out silently. When he was about to leave, I still called out to stop him.

"Xin Ci, have you been in Huangyang all this time?"

Gao Xinci turned around and still had no hatred or resentment, just lost, and forced a smile: "No, I was just on a business trip and happened to pass by, so I found you so quickly."

I didn't ask so many questions, but he got flustered and answered all of them at once, as if the more he said, the more "clear conscience" he seemed to have.

I didn't say anything else. Gao Xinci stood there for a while, but finally went out. The moment he opened the door, he heard a gentle "take care".

What else can I protect? I have no idea what the situation will be like when my second uncle comes. I am the only relative left for Nian Nian. I will take care of everything she has, including William. I can only repay Nian Nian for what I owe to the Lin family and Jiang Yinan.

Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my heart and a burning sensation in my throat. I hurriedly waved to Jiang Chulan to come over and handed the child to him. As soon as he took the child away from me, he held the edge of the bed and vomited. My vision was blurry and I could only hear the exclamations and panic from people around me. It took me a while to recover and I saw a scarlet patch on the ground.

Vomiting blood again.

I don't know why it happened this time. Before Zhizhi could call a doctor, William waved his hand and said there was no need to worry. It was just esophagitis caused by an allergy to oral medication. In an emergency, the doctor wrote in the medical record that I had used that kind of medicine and gave it to me directly. But I didn't expect that I was too weak and my resistance was reduced, so I was allergic again.

I breathed a sigh of relief and stopped Zhizhi and the others from making a big deal out of it. My second uncle knew my physical condition best. If it didn't get better within five years, it would be only natural that I would die of illness. Who knows what might come into my meal one day?

Liang Sen also came to help me. He sat on the edge of the bed and let me lean on him. He took a tissue to wipe me clean and patted my back to help me relax. Fortunately, this thing came and went quickly, so my mood really does affect my body. I gradually got better after I calmed down. The recovered strength supported me to sit up straight and look at William.

"Three years, I'll give you a buffer period. If you can really survive Fu Mingtang within three years, you'll be qualified to be my opponent. But you don't have to be grateful that I don't bother with you. It's also good for me. I'm waiting for my children to be born, and I don't want to rush into trouble. This way, we both win, and you don't have to worry about my reputation. After all, if I wanted to kill you, Liang Sen wouldn't have sent you to the hospital. It's not against the law to watch you die without saving you, not to mention that I'm a cripple and couldn't save you anyway. One corpse and three lives, this is the result I want to see."

"Three years, my second uncle won't kill me so soon..." I covered my chest and gasped, "So please don't worry too much, Third Uncle. As long as the murderer who killed Brother Xie is still in this world, I will not die. I can give up everything for Brother Xie. Second Uncle is just afraid of my excessive power, I can abandon it! I will only leave behind a tattered body, as long as Third Uncle, you get what you deserve..."

"Silly child, do you really think that Fu Mingtang has lived for so many years and has seen all kinds of storms? But just for the little property in your hands, the prosperity of the eldest branch has been going on for a long time, and Fu Shuyu is standing there like a target, but he doesn't fight for it, but instead goes after you who voluntarily gave up the position of head of the family?"

William leaned forward and looked me straight in the eye.

"It's because of jealousy. He doesn't really not love you at all. Some affection can't be faked, but you are the only child left in our Fu family who is not ridiculed by the outside world. People use status to make a fuss. Your second uncle, young uncle, and I are all concubines, born to concubines. What era is this? The second and third wives in the old house still live together and live in harmony. Isn't it a joke? Originally, your status was not good enough, and it is not impossible to redress it by yourself. It's a pity that he failed to raise you into a waste, and you are so pitiful and lovable. Standing there and setting off like that, it becomes a joke again. You lost your parents and were raised under his name. You were cautious and treading on thin ice. Do you know how the outside world views this joke?"

I let out a long sigh. It's not like I haven't had this thought before. I even thought about the good things in my previous life for this point of view. Because in my previous life, I was a so-called "useless person", and my second uncle's love for me went beyond jealousy, so it was good.

But the thought of compassion always prevailed. I couldn't hate the person who saved my life, and I couldn't blame the person who had treated me better than my father.

So he loves me, but because of our different status, the sarcasm from others turned my jealousy into hatred.

Liang Sen didn't allow William to provoke me anymore, even though it sounded like what he said was from the bottom of his heart. But my breathing became heavier and my body became weaker. He pinched my palms and rubbed them back and forth to warm me up.

The group of people waited like this until my second uncle really came, broke open the door and rushed to me, not allowing Liang Sen to touch me or even get close to me. He drove him away and supported me, looking me up and down. His head was full of sweat and he looked really anxious, but no matter how I looked at him, he seemed to be thorny.

I reached out and wiped my second uncle's forehead. He frowned and grabbed my hand again: "It's so cold. I should have known not to let you out, and there would be no accident."

"It's less than half an hour's journey from Ke Lin to the hospital, but it took Shishi 40 minutes to give birth, and she slept for more than an hour. Then she talked to me so much. How could you be so anxious and in such a hurry? Are you really worried about Shishi?" William mocked from behind.

I also stared at my second uncle, only exhausted. My second uncle turned around and glared at William, then quickly turned back to look at me, leaned over and hugged me in his arms: "The road was blocked, and my second uncle was late. Did they bully you?"

"There's a traffic jam? Are you paralyzed like me? Can't drive or walk? You can get there in two hours by walking." William continued.

"Get out!" My second uncle held the back of my head with his palm and turned around to curse me harshly.

I didn't say anything, but for the sake of a future, reason prevailed, and I slowly put my hands on him and hugged my second uncle. From the corner of my eye, I saw William wink at me, waved his hand, and asked Liang Sen to push him away, leaving only a sentence to take care of himself.
