There is a pregnant woman at home

The air returned to tranquility again, and I stood there stiffly, looking down at Ji Luojue's face hidden in the dark.At that moment, countless thoughts and thoughts flashed through my heart, but in the end I could only force out a sentence from my mouth.

"What does it mean?"

It's the recording from that year, but it doesn't seem to be... Although many words in the two recordings are exactly the same, but when the preface and the afterword are changed, the meaning is completely changed... What the hell is going on?

Ji Luojue gently held my hand: "Xiao Er, sit down, let's talk slowly."

I mechanically sat back on the sofa, turned my head and looked at her in disbelief, with undisguised confusion in my eyes.

"Back then, my mother showed you such a recording, and then told you that I was only with you for fun. In fact, my true love is Chu Guanchen, right?"

Ji Luojue stared into my eyes and said these words slowly, I nodded in a daze: "But...some things are different..."

"Of course it's different." There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and for some reason, there was an inexplicable sadness in my eyes.

"That year my mother sent someone to bring me home, and she put me under house arrest without any explanation. As a last resort, I had a showdown with her, and firmly stated that it was impossible to fall in love with anyone else in this life except you. I hope she can help us."

Her eyes wandered, as if she had returned to the time when she was "struggling" with her mother.

"Of course she disagrees. My mother is a strong woman. In the final analysis, the Ji family's current scale is all thanks to her alone. I am also an only child, and I have been placed with high hopes since I was a child. How could she accept the daughter she raised by herself? On such a road of no return? So..."

Having said that, she sighed softly: "I had no other choice, so I decided to go on a hunger strike to protest."

"Hehe, isn't this method very crude?" Ji Luojue looked up at me, with a hint of helplessness and sarcasm in her eyes, but she didn't know why.

"No..." I subconsciously denied it.She smiled bitterly, glanced at me lightly, and continued: "But it turned out to be very effective. I only had a drop of water for two days, and my mother went crazy. She came to my room countless times with meals. The voice was soft and soft, almost begging me on my knees. At that time, I was actually a little bit shaken in my heart, you know Xiao Er?"

I raised my head in a daze, but didn't know what to say, because... I didn't know what she was going to say next...

"My mother is such a strong person. She has been through ups and downs for decades. She has never experienced such cruel and ruthless scenes in the shopping malls where people kill without blood. She has been trained to have an indestructible heart. But because of Me, her only daughter, she said the most humble and soft words that she could think of in her heart over and over again, just so that I could drink a sip of water and eat a sip of food. Can you imagine, Xiao Er, at that In the picture, she humbles her knees...just because...she is a mother..."

It would be a lie to say that she is impassive, but I really can't imagine the scene she said. After all, Mrs. Ji's condescending look when she asked me to "negotiate" was too deep and unforgettable.

"Then you..." I said in a nasty voice, and asked with some difficulty, "Have you compromised?"

If this sentence would not have been a question before today, it should have been an affirmative sentence.But after listening to the completely different recording just now, a layer of doubt has slowly emerged in my heart: Maybe the truth is not what I have always seen.

"What do you think?" She asked without answering, "In your heart, should I compromise, and will I compromise?"

"I……"

"I know you must think I will, otherwise you won't believe my mother's words so easily in the future, right?"

"No, it's not." I subconsciously wanted to refute: "It's because of that recording, you said it clearly..."

"Do you believe it?" Ji Luojue interrupted me suddenly: "Can you believe such a statement? Is it because of the recording, or because in your heart, you have always had no confidence in our relationship. So when there is such a so-called When the 'evidence' appeared, you believed it without hesitation, without even a trace of doubt. Xiao Er, ask yourself, do you not want to question it, or...don't dare?"

She stared at me intently, with complex emotions in her eyes, including disappointment, confusion, and deep unresolved sadness.I subconsciously wanted to run away, but as the truth was revealed bit by bit, the fear in my heart that I was most afraid to face was slowly awakened.

"I went to look for you, but you didn't hear from you for two months. I waited at the intersection outside your villa every day, calling the phone over and over again to remind you to turn off the phone, and looking in by the wall with my toes, I really hate it. I couldn't just grow a pair of wings and fly in. It's not that I didn't work hard. Every time I get out of a car from your house, I will run behind to see if it's you..."

I muttered, not justifying, maybe not even speaking to her, but just talking to myself.

"But what did I wait for? I waited for your mother's high-spirited contempt, the teasing you clearly said in the recording, and... a check that bought out my two years of youth and love ..."

"Yes, the check." As if reminded of my words, she held my shoulder and asked eagerly: "Why did you take that check? If it wasn't for this, maybe I wouldn't I easily believed what my mother said, thinking that you really betrayed our love for money."

I smiled "hehe", with indescribable bitterness: "I'm greedy for money, what is there to explain? 100 million... a number that can't be earned in a lifetime, why not?"

Anyway, I'm already so unbearable, and I'm greedy for money and snobbish, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

I thought Ji Luojue must be even more disappointed in me after hearing such words, but judging from the expression on her face at the moment, it doesn't seem to be the case.

"Being greedy for money, you took the check and didn't take it? I clearly remember that you took courses in accounting and accounting in college. It's impossible that you don't even know the common sense that checks have deadlines."

"I... I forgot, no, I went to get it, four years ago, your mother was right."

"Really?" With a deep smile on the corner of her mouth, she slowly pulled out a thin piece of paper from under the paper box containing the recording pen.

"Then what is this?"

There was a "thud" in my heart, and my eyes fell uncontrollably on the check held between her fingers.

She can pick it up bit by bit and stick it together when it is torn like that, I am really convinced.But what's the point?

I sighed deeply: "Yes, I don't really want your money. But if it makes you feel at ease by acting like you get both money and goods, so what if I take it? You're right , I am cowardly and cowardly, I have no confidence in this relationship, and I don’t even have the courage to verify whether the recording is true or not, so I simply choose to believe it. I took the check to give you peace of mind, and it was... a small compensation... ..."

A thin layer of water mist appeared in Ji Luojue's bright eyes. I think she shouldn't be moved just because of my words and what I did back then.But... what is it for?

"I know you can't be completely blamed for this matter," Ji Luojue stretched out her white and slender hands, caressing my face.

"I shouldn't have believed my mother's words so easily. I naively thought that as long as I really endured the three years of experience, she would let us go and give us freedom."

"Three years of experience?" I looked up at her in confusion: "What do you mean?"

"The conditions she proposed back then. As long as I go to the United States for three years and manage the branch there, as long as I can successfully list the company within three years, I can return to China to be with you again, and she will never do anything to us again. interference."

"What about the conditions?"

It is undeniable that although I have only met her once, for some reason, I feel as if I have known Mrs. Ji for a long time, and I have a keen and correct judgment on her behavior.

"For three years, I can't have any contact with you, not a single message or a phone call."

Sure enough...Jiang is still old and hot, so first stabilize her own daughter and let her naively believe in the "friendly proposal" made by her mother, and then force her to retreat with the "hardcover improved version" made according to the original recording My completely harmless little enemy.

As a daughter, how can she be so vigilant all the time, thinking that her biological mother would go to such lengths to calculate herself?

"Actually, you are not the only one who was deceived by the recording, but also me." Ji Luojue gave a self-deprecating wry smile: "After agreeing to my mother's conditions, I proposed to meet with you before leaving, but at that time she She proposed to meet you on the grounds that I was weak after the hunger strike, and in order to convince me that your meeting was real, she also brought back a recording for me to listen to afterwards.”

"So you flew to the United States with peace of mind, and you were really obedient and didn't give me a single call?" Although I knew that this matter had developed to the present situation, my lack of confidence in my relationship played a big role in promoting it, but If she had called secretly at that time, maybe we could have made it clear.Although... after being broken up, I left Beijing shortly after being heartbroken and came here, and changed my phone number, so I don't guarantee that I will patiently listen to her explanation after receiving the call.However, the fact that she really listened to her mother so much and didn't contact me for three years is really unbelievable.

"You can think of something like making a secret phone call, but can't my mother think of it?" Ji Luojue asked me back.

"What do you mean?"

"Before she left, she sent a message. It's okay if I secretly contact you behind her back. As long as I don't get found out, it's fine, but as long as she finds out once, then don't expect to have a chance to be with you in this life. Do it I believe that she can do what she says, and in order not to miss any opportunity for me to contact you, she must have secretly sent many people to watch me secretly. With three years of house arrest, in exchange for To live a carefree life with you, I think this bet is worth it!"
