After the divorce, my ex’s brother became very possessive of me.

Ye Jinglan was stunned.

He did not expect that Nian Zhi would suddenly ask about his father.

What kind of person is Ye Lingjun?

No matter how much he resents Ye Lingjun, they are both father and son. His relationship with Ye Lingjun and the relationship between Song Wenjing and Ye Lingjun are completely two extremes.

For Ye Jinglan, Ye Lingjun is a real father.

——He has grown up next to Ye Lingjun since he was a child. Except for 5 years ago, when he forced himself to marry a wife he didn't like, in his 20 years of life, he has always treated Ye Lingjun. There was no malicious resistance.

Some feelings, apart from blood ties, are accumulated over time. Even someone like Ye Nanxi is not Ye Lingjun's biological daughter at all, but perhaps in Ye Lingjun's heart, he still has feelings for this "daughter" , Therefore, sometimes people who go crazy in order to hide their secrets do not treat Ye Nanxi too harshly.

This is true for Ye Lingjun, let alone Ye Jinglan?

He is not a cold-blooded and vicious person. On the contrary, he is actually quite soft at heart. At this moment, he suddenly heard Nian Zhi speak, asking his father in such an incomprehensible tone what kind of person he was. While it was difficult for him to answer, of course he was also surprised.

"...Why are you asking this all of a sudden? The old man...what's wrong with him?"

Ye Jinglan really couldn't understand for a moment, because 5 years ago, it was Ye Lingjun who insisted on marrying this woman to him as Young Mistress Ye, and in the past 5 years, he had witnessed with his own eyes the old man's various treatment of her. Sometimes Ye Nanxi would be jealous because of this kind of care. Of course he saw it. How good was the old man to her?

He was given 5% of the shares of the Ye family, which is what many people dream of. You know, Ye Nanxi has been the daughter of the Ye family for more than 20 years, but got nothing. But she is young...

Ye Jinglan couldn't understand why Nian Zhi would ask this question at this time, but he was not a fool. The equally shrewd man quickly thought of another question -

Just because the old man was good to her, the old man never agreed to divorce her, so... is the child she no longer has related to the old man?

Ye Jinglan was startled by his own thoughts, but he knew very well that if this was really the case - there seemed to be nothing surprising.

All of this seemed to be unexpected, but also seemed to be expected.

How to describe a person like the old man?

An adjective quickly came to Ye Jinglan's mind - to save face.

Even if he wasn't a self-centered person, he would never allow such a thing to happen under his eyes.

To put it bluntly, Ye Jinglan now thinks arrogantly that he knows very well in his heart that the old man does not agree to the divorce. The reason is because he was the one who initiated this marriage, but now Nian Zhi has come to an end with his eldest son. This is very important to him. Of course it's a humiliation.

Not to mention, in the future, everyone in City C will know how they will view the Ye family.

However, if it was really just because of this that the child in Nian Zhi's belly died alive, just thinking about it, Ye Jinglan felt that he could not forgive such behavior.

In fact, people are made of flesh and blood. Resentment and unwillingness can occasionally override people's reason, but they cannot control people's reason.

That child is still innocent after all and is a life.

"...Jing Lan, I have always felt that everyone in the Ye family is targeting me and dislike me, but only your father is the best to me. He always thinks about me, no matter what. They all helped me think about it, provided for me to go to school, provide for me with food and clothing, and also let my father stay in the best private hospital and receive the best treatment. I thought at that time, he is really an unparalleled good man. There will never be a better person in the world."

Nian Zhi was still huddled on the window eaves. When she spoke, her soft but pale cheeks were hidden between her legs, so her voice sounded very weak, but Ye Jinglan listened. She spoke very slowly, perhaps because she wanted every word she said to be extra clear when it reached the ears of others——

"I really have always thought so. I respect him very much. I admit that before I met Song Wenjing, I thought that I would just live like this for the rest of my life. It doesn't matter if I don't want to be seen by you. I will look forward to your father's expectations. Just walk on the road, because when I married you 5 years ago, I was living for my father. What will happen in the future? What difference does it make? But God still gave me another road. In the process of stumbling forward, I learned a lot, to be strong, responsible, and understand what I wanted most. I worked hard to grab it, and when I went to grab it, I saw too much. Something I dare not think about. I know that the truth is very cruel, so during this period of time, I have been running away until my baby is gone..."

Ye Jinglan pursed his thin lips tightly, and his breathing became a little light. He didn't make a sound, and he didn't know what to say. He knew that Nian Zhi wanted to say something like this to him for no other purpose. Maybe she She just trusted herself subconsciously, or maybe she couldn't say some things to Song Wenjing, but chose to say them to herself.

But no matter what the purpose was, he didn't want to interrupt, he was willing to listen.

The room was extremely quiet. They had been tied together in the name of husband and wife for 5 years, but this was the first time they sat down quietly like this. And this arrogant rich young man was listening so quietly. Speaking by herself, this change made Nian Zhi instinctively relax a little more. The darkest past in the elevator was the key to tormenting her. She couldn't speak. She didn't know why. , to Ye Jinglan, she was actually able to say it——

"...I was really scared when I was locked in the elevator, but what scared me most at that time was not the claustrophobic space, but because...I received a call from your father in the elevator... …”

When Nian Zhi said this, she paused. She took a deep breath and tried very hard to control her emotions, but the darkness rushed towards her face, and the deep fear almost overturned her. She was still scared and her voice was trembling, "...he said that he already knew that I was pregnant. He said that he was very disappointed in me. He said that he would not allow me to give birth to this child. He called my baby a bastard. He didn't He gave me a chance to talk, and he said many things to me, but every word was like a sharp knife, piercing my heart. I was very scared, and I felt like the sky was not working, and the earth was not responding. , I couldn’t refute a word, I just listened to him keep buzzing in my ears, I..."

"Nian Zhi, Nian Zhi, calm down! Speak slowly, I will accompany you, Nian Zhi——"

Ye Jinglan saw that something was wrong with Nian Zhi. At the end of her words, her whole body started to twitch. He had never known that his father could be so cruel. It was impossible for her to deceive him at this time, so everything she said was meaningless. If it were true, in such an environment, what the old man said to her would undoubtedly be a huge blow.

He leaned forward and reached out to hug her. His hands paused in mid-air and finally fell down.

Nian Zhi unexpectedly did not push him away. No one knew that the dark scene in her mind when she was in the elevator, as well as Ye Lingjun's voice in her ears, the word "evil", as long as every Thinking about it once, she felt as if there was something sharp in her throat, which was particularly uncomfortable.

She needs warmth, but the warmth she can feel now is not what she has always been familiar with and relied on. This is not Song Wenjing. Nian Zhi frowned, and although she did not push Ye Jinglan away, she still shrank her body. shrink.

Ye Jinglan could feel her silent resistance, but he did not let go. With such a soft body in his arms, he felt shamefully that it was too luxurious, and he always refused to let go. He tightened his arms With all his strength, he comforted her softly: "...I didn't know something like this happened, Nian Zhi, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... If I had been willing to let go of you earlier, maybe I wouldn't have reached this point today."

Nian Zhi shook her head. She wanted to say no. In fact, she really didn't blame Ye Jinglan for anything. She knew very well that there were some things that she didn't know and Ye Jinglan didn't know either. She couldn't fall asleep these days. That was because She was afraid. She was afraid that when she closed her eyes, she would see the dark enclosed space. The feeling that life was worse than death made her very painful. What made her even more painful and made her unable to recover was the deep self-consciousness. responsibility.

She seemed to finally understand what Ye Lingjun was like, so she couldn't accept her careless behavior back then.

If at that time, she could listen to Song Wenjing and not be so anxious to leave the car when she couldn't contact him, maybe nothing would happen. And when she thought about her father and what Zhou Su had said to her, she felt even more frightened.

In the past five years, what kind of man has she been listening to?

Did she kill her own child with her own hands and cause her father to be imprisoned in such a place and suffer endless pain?

…………

This kind of voice kept echoing in her mind, making it impossible for her to cheer up, even if she told herself countless times that the world is so big and she is so small. In fact, no matter how big the setbacks and difficulties are, as long as they are Breathing will become insignificant.

Yes, there will be children, but who knows that she did not really become so haggard and vulnerable because of a child. She was really too scared. If the truth was what she thought, she didn't know how she could position herself.

She was so scared that she didn't dare to say this to Song Wenjing.

"...Nian Zhi, there are many things that I don't understand very well. In fact, I have always felt that it is unfair. Five years ago, I didn't like you, but the old man forcefully wanted to give you to me. Five years later, I I think you are actually very good, and I want to get along with you, but suddenly there is Song Wenjing. Can you understand that feeling? I feel like a monkey who is only played by fate, I am so proud How can a person accept this? So I have been refusing to let you go. It wasn't until I knew you were pregnant that I finally realized that I couldn't continue to delay you like this. You and Song Wenjing are together, and you are so important to me. It is indeed ironic, but in the final analysis, isn't it because I don't cherish you? I tell myself that as a human being, you must always look forward, even if sometimes you don't want to admit that you are just a pawn played by fate. , but I have to admit that as chess pieces, there are those who do well and those who do poorly. Are you right?"

Nian Zhi didn't move. She seemed to be listening quietly. Ye Jinglan continued: "...Many times, many things are beyond our control. I know that you must be feeling very uncomfortable and blaming yourself. You will feel that your child In your own body, you, as a mother, failed to protect it well."

"But Nian Zhi, if we can really do everything, then we will no longer be human. Can you understand what I say? You must be strong. If you torture yourself like this, it is nothing more than - haters are quick, dear friends It hurts. Let me tell you one more thing. When I found out about what happened between you and Song Wenjing in the UK, I was shocked and angry. It was true that I even wanted to kill someone, but I went to find Song Wenjing, but he told me that this matter was just an accident, and the initiator of this matter was Xie Lingxi."

"........."

"At that time, I really felt that life was so ridiculous. I had never understood the true face of the woman I had always held in my hands. I had been with her for so many years, but I didn't know that she was actually a very talented person. A scheming woman. I feel like I really deserve it, and I deserve nothing. But now I think, who says that every person and every past experience in our lives is not a representative of maturity? At least later I Now that I have seen her clearly, at least I now understand that you should not just look at people based on their appearance. Nian Zhi, we cannot impose other people’s mistakes on ourselves, we must learn to bear them. In fact, I don’t know, I I can say such things to you, but they are all my true words. If you can understand, you will definitely understand what I want to say to you."

"........."

Nian Zhi's throat felt sore. She seemed to really understand. Just when she was about to say something, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open from the outside. There were steady footsteps, followed by a familiar male voice, who just said something. , "...I know, you should go back and rest first, and leave this to me -"

When the words reached the last word, they stopped abruptly, and then the man roared angrily, "When did you come in? What are you doing?!"
