Self-investment

Jian Ling walked to Hao Xinyi's hospital bed. Hao Xinyi's anesthesia hadn't passed yet, and only two eyeballs could move. She stared blankly at the ceiling for a while, and then turned her eyes to look in Jian Ling's direction. Her lips were white and chapped. , trying to grin a smile, "Ah Ling, I knew that you would come to see mother." His voice was dry and hoarse, and his voice was fragmented, occasionally a few broken syllables were still sharp, like a knife scratched on glass It seems harsh.

"How did you make it like this?" Jian Ling looked down at her, with no emotion in his eyes, and no emotion in his voice.

Hao Xinyi's current miserable state, Jian Ling has compassion, but she knows that she can't show half-hearted soft-heartedness in front of her. Hao Xinyi is a person who pushes forward, and Jian Ling shows the slightest bit of intolerance in front of her, she can firmly grasp it, and then infinitely Expand until you achieve your goals.

Hao Xinyi's method, Jian Ling, has been taught before. In the lawsuit not long ago, she used up the last trace of Jian Ling's affection for her. Now Jian Ling came to see her, but it was because of his father's confession before his death. Any little bit of my own feelings are in it.

"I was kicked out by the old man surnamed Luo." Hao Xinyi's eyes were full of sternness, and hatred gushed out from gnashing of teeth, "I underestimated that boy Luo Miao and the little bitches of the Luo family, bah , I will wait for my old lady, and sooner or later, my old lady will make them die."

She is now lying on the hospital bed in embarrassment, and even the medical expenses are paid by Jian Ling in advance. She doesn't know how to reflect on it, and what she says is all these big words. Listening to Jian Ling, she doesn't know whether to be angry or laugh, "Hao Xinyi, In your eyes, the fault is always someone else's, and you have never been sorry to anyone, have you?"

Hao Xinyi was quite dissatisfied with the teaching meaning in her words, and frowned with difficulty to reprimand, "Ah Ling, what are you talking about? I'm your mother, it's fine if you don't help me, why are you still turning to outsiders?"

There was a clear ridicule in her nasal cavity, and she ran against Jian Ling strangely, "It's no wonder that your mother is in trouble now. The phoenix is ​​not as good as the chicken. She has no power, no power, and no money. Of course, anyone can step on her, even yourself. Your daughter can also come and step on her. Hmph, you are promising now. You are close to Luo Yimu, and you can stretch out your hands and open your mouth to eat. You can get what you want, and why do you care about your mother's life? I almost forgot, Luo Yimu Isn’t Mu also considered Luo’s family? No wonder you helped Luo’s family to teach me a lesson.”

Jian Ling didn't recognize this mother for a long time, and seeing Hao Xinyi today is already showing great kindness, and she has no obligation to listen to her complaints. Before Hao Xinyi finished speaking, Jian Ling's patience was exhausted, and she turned around and left, showing a little sympathy None stay.

"Ah Ling, don't go!" Hao Xinyi finally knew she was afraid, her expression changed, and she begged in fear, "Don't go! I beg you, don't go!"

"Ah Ling, good girl, mom has only you now, what will mom do if you leave? I have no one to rely on in Jinling, if you don't help me, I will take your brother to die!"

younger brother?

Jian Ling stopped, disgusted by the word.

He was also disgusted by the half of Hao Xinyi's genes that he carried on his body.

She stood at the door without turning her head, and said in a deep voice, "I will pay the medical expenses to your medical card, and I can't help you with other things."

After speaking, turn the doorknob.

Squeak, the door opened a crack.

A ray of light in the hospital corridor came in through the crack of the door and fell on the floor, and a small piece fell on Jian Ling's feet, with a bit of cold blue.

Can't feel the slightest temperature.

Jian Ling took a deep breath and frowned in disgust.

The air in the hospital is full of the smell of cold disinfectant, which is really uncomfortable.

Jian Ling hated hospitals.

Her grandparents and father all died in the hospital.Before his death, his father was suffering from illness. Jian Ling secretly called Hao Xinyi countless times. Hao Xinyi only answered once, and hung up all the subsequent calls. Only when he heard that Jian Ling's father was going to make a will, did he show kindness and reluctance visited him once.

Jian Ling spat out the breath that smelled of disinfectant in her lungs, and stepped out of the ward.

"You promised your father to take good care of me! Have you forgotten—" Hao Xinyi's mournful roar cut a hole in the air and pierced Jian Ling's eardrums, making her feel that even her own ear canals were crushed It was torn in two, and the pain in her head exploded, making her dizzy for a while, and she stood still by holding on to the door frame.

Jian Ling's fingers were digging at the door frame harshly, five fingers with white hair, as if trying to dig a hole in the iron door frame.

She gritted her teeth, inhaled and exhaled, the blue veins on her forehead were distinct, her eyes were about to split, and the muscles on her face twitched unnaturally due to excessive anger and depression.

Grim-faced.

Now there is no one in the ward except Jian Ling and Hao Xinyi, Jian Ling really wants to strangle Hao Xinyi to death, once everything is done, she will never harm herself again.

But no, Jian Ling still has a good life, and Luo Yimu, she still wants to grow old together with Luo Yimu, and wants to sit in the yard drinking tea and watching the sunset with Luo Yimu when they get old, she can't because One Hao Xinyi ruined her own future.

Jian Ling has never hated her father so much as now, hated him for being ignorant of people, fell in love with such a selfish person, hated him for passing away early, and before he died, he still did not forget to throw Hao Xinyi to himself, let himself Bear the torture from Hao Xinyi for him.

Think about Mumu, think about Mumu... Jian Ling kept telling herself in her heart, don't be impulsive, think about the future of herself and Mumu, Mumu hasn't come back yet, her father just finished the operation, he can't let her Worry.

While admonishing herself, she took a deep breath for about ten minutes. Finally, she calmed down the volcano that was about to erupt in her heart, calmly returned to Hao Xinyi's side, and asked her straight to the point: "How much do you owe?"

The eyes she stared at Hao Xinyi were full of red blood, like a ghost. Hao Xinyi felt shuddering in his heart, and the arrogance in his heart was gone. Ten thousand……"

A week ago, Luo Shisen knew that Hao Xinyi's son was not from the Luo family's blood, so he became furious and threw Hao Xinyi and the baby out of the Luo family together.

Hao Xinyi was kicked out penniless. The child's own father, the little boy she raised, saw that Hao Xinyi had lost power, and immediately turned his back on him. He sold all the houses and cars that Hao Xinyi bought under his name. I hid in the provinces to avoid the limelight.

Hao Xinyi was desperate, and owed a huge sum of money to usury loan. Although she had cheated a lot of money from Luo Shisen to pay off the debt, she was deeply in debt. Like a snowball, it keeps getting bigger and bigger. Hao Xinyi borrowed a principal of 300 million, and she has repaid more than 400 million intermittently. It was typed by the debtor.

"A Ling, please help mother..." Hao Xinyi lay on the hospital bed crying bitterly, "Those people said, if I don't pay back the debt, they will sell me to a brothel in Southeast Asia, Luo Yimu is so rich , Isn’t □□ million just a drizzle to you? Don’t you just watch your mother go to Southeast Asia to be the most despicable prostitute?”

Jian Ling laughed, with piercing eyes, and said sarcastically, "Aren't you now?"

Hao Xinyi stopped crying suddenly, angrily, "How could you humiliate me like this? I'm your mother!"

Again.

Jane is a headache.

This is a curse.

"I am your mother".

It seems that after saying this sentence, Jian Ling has to do anything for Hao Xinyi, because Hao Xinyi gave birth to Jian Ling, so Jian Ling should obey all her words.

Jian Ling stood indifferently by the hospital bed, looking at Hao Xinyi with a bit of sadness in his eyes.

"You still know that you are my mother." Jian Ling's smile was bitter and astringent, "You left me and ran away with other men before I was weaned. Where were you when I was hungry and crying? I Where were you when someone knocked out your front teeth and your mouth was bleeding? Where were you when I had my first period in junior high school, my pants were stained with blood and people laughed at you?"

"Hao Xinyi, do you think that I'm just a plant, that I don't need to be raised by humans, and I just need to sprinkle a seed on the ground to grow into a towering tree by myself?"

"Do you know how I grew up?"

When Jian Ling uttered these words, he would not even feel the pain in his heart.

The place in her heart that belongs to her mother has long been filled with reinforced concrete, making it invulnerable to fire and water.

Saying it now is just to disgust Hao Xinyi.

Jian Ling's series of questions left Hao Xinyi speechless. She could only shrink her neck and mutter without confidence: "Anyway, it's only natural for a daughter to support her mother..."

"Isn't it natural for a mother to raise her daughter?" Jian Ling sneered ironically.

Hao Xinyi's expression became vicious, "So you made up your mind to see your mother fall into the fire pit and die?"

"It's not that I don't want to save you, it's that I can't do anything." Jian Ling sat wearily on the edge of Hao Xinyi's hospital bed, pinching the bridge of her nose, "Luo Yimu and I are no longer together, she hates me now, so you And don't worry about her money."

"How is it possible?" Hao Xinyi sneered, "Don't lie to me with words, Luo Yimu is so fascinated by you that he follows a demon, she is willing to let you go? Only ghosts believe it."

"Why can't you bear it? I'm your daughter, don't you know what kind of person I am? With Luo Yimu's indifferent temper, how could he satisfy me? I got tired of it in a few days. The outside world is so big, Am I at a loss by hanging on a woman?" Jian Ling smiled more ironically, "I thought you knew this feeling better than me."

Of course Hao Xinyi knows that she is such a person herself, she likes novelty and pursuit of excitement, otherwise she would not be addicted to gambling.

Jian Ling's personality is very similar to Hao Xinyi's. Hao Xinyi knew about Jian Ling's intriguing deeds in the past, and was quite proud of it. Is it like playing?

However, Hao Xinyi has seen a lot of people like Luo Yimu who are proud of the sky. This kind of person is arrogant and noble, and he can't tolerate betrayal in his eyes, let alone someone who dares to play with her feelings.

"No way, are you really caught by her?" Hao Xinyi was a little shaken.

"The rape was on the bed, and she dragged me out of the bed naked." Jian Ling added more details to convince Hao Xinyi, "At that time, her face turned green, and she almost kicked my little mistress' intestines out on the spot."

"Hey, it's a pity, Ah Ling, you were too careless and ruined a money tree for nothing." Hao Xinyi regretted endlessly.

"So I don't have the money to help you pay off your debts."

"Isn't your father's house still there?" Hao Xinyi still didn't give up, "A Ling, save mom, just this once! I promise I will never gamble again!"

Jian Ling lowered his head and stared at her for a few minutes.

There was no regret in her eyes, she just said something nice.

"Today is New Year's Eve." Jian Ling smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "From birth to now, I spent the first New Year's Eve with you."

But Hao Xinyi didn't care at all.

Jian Ling suddenly thought, what would he do if his father was still alive?

He will definitely sell the house without hesitation to pay off Hao Xinyi's debts.

"Hao Xinyi, the only source of income I have now is that Internet cafe. I sold my house and my livelihood was cut off. How do you want me to live in the future?"

"You are so young, you must have a way to find a job, but mother needs this money to save her life now!"

"You never regarded me as a daughter, and don't call yourself my mother. You are just my mother." Jian Ling said sarcastically, "Don't tarnish such a great word as mother."

"You..." Hao Xinyi wanted to curse again.

But was interrupted by Jian Ling, "This Internet cafe originally belonged to my father, don't worry, I will follow his wishes, sell the Internet cafe, and pay back the money for you. His will back then was that you would take [-]% and I would take [-]%. The [-]% you deserve will be charged to your card, and the rest will be donated in his name. If you don’t believe me, you can check the donation records at any time. Hao Xinyi, from now on I will be a helpless pauper , don’t come to me, even if you do, I won’t be able to help you, so be it.”

In fact, Jian Ling had planned to close the Internet cafe for a long time, but she had been unable to make up her mind. It happened that Hao Xinyi made the decision for her today.

The rest of the money was donated to cut off Hao Xinyi's escape route, so that Hao Xinyi would not have any illusions, thinking that when she was desperate again, Jian Ling would still have a sum of money to save her life.

Jian Ling is telling Hao Xinyi that he can only help her for the last time, and whether Hao Xinyi lives or dies in the future has nothing to do with Jian Ling.

But Hao Xinyi doesn't care, she knows that Jian Ling can only help her for the last time, so what does it matter?Hao Xinyi thinks that she is still young and beautiful, and she can always catch the next big money. She just feels a little pity. To her, Jian Ling is a hen that can lay golden eggs. Now she has no choice but to kill the chicken and get the eggs. Fishing in the dry lake, he will no longer be able to make money from Jian Ling.

But Hao Xinyi thinks, after giving birth to a daughter, it’s not a loss if she can squeeze her for 25 years. Next time, she can find a child with an infatuated man and squeeze her for another 25 years. business.

……

One day after the new year, Jian Ling found an intermediary to evaluate the property left by her father. It is a two-story building with a large area. It is in a popular business district. It is close to the subway and has a yard. You can’t find it even with a lantern. Good conditions, the agent estimated 2800 million, which was lower than the market price, but Jian Ling said that he needed the money urgently, so 2000 million was listed, suppressing nearly one-third of the price.

It would be a fool not to take advantage of such an advantage. On the same day, someone said to pay a deposit to settle down. Jian Ling did not accept reservations and demanded the full payment. He gritted his teeth when buying a house. The next day, he collected all the money for Jian Ling and completed the transfer procedures a year ago. Jian Ling found an acquaintance to pack up the computers and furniture in his computer room and deal with them at a low price, and then gave Xiao Liu and his employees half a year's salary as compensation, saying that he would not do it.

Xiao Liu asked Jian Ling why he didn't do it. Jian Ling smiled and said that if he didn't do it, he wouldn't do it. There were so many reasons, so he hung up the phone and ignored him.

The Internet cafe, which was running well last month, was empty within a few days, except for Luo Yimu's dozens of books and Jian Ling's suitcases of clothes, there was nothing left.

Fortunately, Luo Yimu had already left Jian Ling the key to her house, and Jian Ling moved the meager luggage he had packed to her house. Jane sat alone in the big empty house all night.

She walked everywhere in the house, and all the memories she left in this house appeared in front of her eyes, those with her father, those with Luo Yimu, and those by herself.

The ones with Luo Yimu can still be created in the future, the brief relationship with her father has been put aside, as for her own... those memories are nothing worth remembering, and if they are gone, they will be gone.

This house used to be everything to Jian Ling, now, this place is nothing more than this to Jian Ling.

She thought to herself, Father, I have done what I promised you. I saved Hao Xinyi's life when she was most desperate. I will not care about her affairs anymore, and I have no ability to do so. Don't blame me .

Hao Xinyi, after all, you love her deeply, but I deeply hate her.

She ruined you, and she ruined me.

After leaving this house, it will be a new beginning. Jian Ling has made a clean break with the past, and no one has the right to pressure her with anything.

On the morning of the New Year's Eve, snow comes with the first ray of light in the sky.

Jian Ling had been looking forward to the snow for more than a month, and it finally fell.

She still remembered that when it snowed last time, she was running a fever, lying on the window and wanting to play in the snow, but Luo Yimu refused to let her go, and promised her to play with her when it snowed next time.

But Luo Yimu broke his promise, she was not here for the second snow this winter.

Jian Ling looked at the falling snow, breathed a sigh of relief in his hand, put on his down jacket and hat, and walked into the snowflakes.

The pure white down jacket blends with the snow.

Stepping on the snow, he left a fading figure and a series of footprints in the heavy snow.

But soon, the footprints were covered by snow, and Jian Ling's figure could not be found in the heavy snow.

There is only one lonely building left empty in the snow to welcome its new owner.

The second snowfall of this winter started at the end of the year, and it didn't stop until New Year's Eve.

There were few people on the street, and everyone was celebrating the New Year at home. Jian Ling moved a chair and sat on the balcony of Luo Yimu's house by himself, hugging his knees and watching the snow fall.

She originally planned to celebrate the New Year with Grandpa Guan, but Guan Xu's family rushed back before the New Year to accompany Grandpa Guan. Their family reunion, Jian Ling didn't want to get involved, so she found a reason and told Grandpa Guan that she and Grandpa Guan were together. There was an appointment with a friend, but there was no past, and I was alone, sitting on the balcony with my knees hugged, from daytime to late night.

Jian Ling had been waiting for Luo Yimu's call, but Luo Yimu's time was 15 hours later than Jinling's, probably at this time he was still preparing the New Year's goods, and Jian Ling didn't realize that it was already New Year's Eve here.

There was still a little hope in Jian Ling's heart, hoping that Luo Yimu would remember, call himself, and wish him a happy new year.

The TV of the family next door was very loud, and they were watching the Spring Festival Gala. Jian Ling heard that the host on the TV had already started the countdown.

5、4、3、2、1。

Jian Ling followed silently, hoping that when the count reached 1, the phone would ring suddenly, and Luo Yimu would give himself a surprise.

But no.

The fire in Jian Ling's heart was extinguished, she thought, Mumu must be really busy, and her father is sick again, so it is understandable to forget for a while.

This year, I am alone again during Chinese New Year.

Jian Ling smiled, feeling a little bitter in her heart.

It's so lonely.

At this time, the lights of thousands of houses were on, and the lively laughter of the neighbors kept filling Jian Ling's ears, and she couldn't help but listen.

Happy New Year, good luck and good health.

They all have their own concerns.

These auspicious signs have nothing to do with Jian Ling.

Jian Ling's miss is far away, fifteen hours later than her, and the New Year's Eve has not yet started.

……

knock knock knock.

In the quiet and dark house, Jane heard a knock on the door, she thought she had heard it wrong.

knock knock knock.

The knock on the door came again.

Jian Ling's eyes lit up, and her heart was beating wildly.

Flying from the balcony to the door, she took a deep breath and calmed down before opening the door.

Being hugged by someone.

Familiar with the elegant and dark fragrance, with a bit of coldness, the breath is not evenly breathed.

She hugged Jian Ling so tightly, the cold air on her body enveloped Jian Ling, Jian Ling shivered, but his heart suddenly boiled.

Jian Ling raised his hand, clasped her shoulders, and buried himself in her embrace, wishing that he would never come out again for the rest of his life.

Jian Ling's eyes were wet and hot, covering her chest, and her shoulders trembled slightly.

"Sorry, I'm late." Luo Yimu whispered in Jian Ling's ear with the chill of the night, "Ah Ling, happy new year."

"Mumu." Jian Ling buried her head in her chest, choked with sobs, but said: "I love you."
