law of forbidden love

The ups and downs of Father Shang's chest became violent. He coughed twice and tried to sit up with his hands supporting his body, but now even such a small movement exhausted his physical strength.

Shang Kai had no intention of helping him.He walked over to put Fu Xiaojia's carefully selected bouquet on the bedside cabinet, but found that there was no place to put the fruit, because there were gifts brought by other people when they visited the patients on the bedside cabinet.Shang Kai hesitated for a moment, then turned around and put the fruit on the windowsill not far away.

"Listen to Shang Xu, you have something to tell me." After Shang Kai put down the fruit, he turned around and stared calmly into his father's dull eyes.

Seeing his son's attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away, Father Shang didn't know what to say for a while. His eyes moved away from Shang Kai's face, and he stared at the ceiling. He pursed his lips tightly and said nothing. He was even too guilty to look at his son.

"Son... I'm sorry for you and your dead mother." Father Shang was silent for a while, closed his eyes slowly, and frowned in pain, "...you should blame me, tell me what I think , you were so young at that time, how could you be willing to send you abroad to suffer?"

Shang Kai didn't speak, and leaned against the window sill with his head down.

Strangely, he is not a heavy smoker, but at this moment he feels a tightness in his throat, and he really wants to go out and smoke a cigarette to calm his mind.

He had never liked his father talking about his dead mother.

"Because you forgot about her." Shang Kai smiled self-deprecatingly. Instead of looking at the person on the hospital bed, he leaned against the window sill and lowered his head to stare at the toe of his shoe, "Because you were with her when her bones were not cold. The other woman got hot."

Hearing this, Father Shang suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Shang Kai, and shook his head in pain: "No...it's not like this..."

"What's that like?" Shang Kai raised his head, his eyes were a little red, and he asked, "Then why aren't you sad? Why don't you have nightmares as soon as you fall asleep like me? You can clean up all her belongings, so that I don't even have the right to see things and think about others...Dad, I have been wanting to ask you these years, are you really my dad?"

"Don't say it..." The tears of the father of the business were rolling down, and the shrewd businessman who had been struggling in the mall all his life was crying in front of his son, and he raised his hand to cover his face, "I didn't... It's not like that... I just want you to come out sooner, kid!"

"But have I come out?" Shang Kai suddenly felt very tired, as if he was dragged into the quagmire of the past again, "You are always talking to yourself... During that time, I was so sad that I wanted to die. Time, have you ever asked me what I thought? You only saw that I rejected Aunt Xia, and I didn't want to call her mother, but did you ask me why? Who is my mother, don't you know? "

Father Shang stopped talking and stopped making futile apologies.He had figured it out a long time ago, he figured it out the moment he was sick and hospitalized.His first marriage was a failure, but the source of the failure was that he took the family too lightly. Shang Kai's mother was his first wife, and she bet on her youth and chose him without hesitation. But he let her lose completely.

He was so absorbed in work and entertainment that he didn't bother to maintain the relationship with his wife, but that silly woman didn't mind at all, and waited for him at home every day.Later, as he got older, he felt guilty, so he could only make it up to his second wife. He was considerate of Xia Xin, but he ignored how uncomfortable Shang Kai was when he witnessed all this happening.

He wanted to apologize, but now he felt that apologizing was useless.He thought that by cleaning up all the belongings of his deceased wife, Shang Kai would be able to come out of that nightmare. He thought that changing Shang Kai's environment would make Shang Kai forget the bloody facts...

But that was all he thought, but if he was more patient with his son, he would know how stupid and arbitrary he was, and the relationship between their father and son would not end like it is today.But he didn't, his eyes were full of his new wife who was many years younger than himself, he was dazzled by the happiness of Xia Xin's pregnancy and the birth of Shang Xu.

Shang Kai raised his hand amidst the man's low sobs, and wiped the corners of his eyes calmly, as if a stone was stuck in his chest, making him speechless.

For so many years, it was the first time that the father and son had opened up their hearts face to face like this.

After being silent for a while, Shang Kai sighed as if resigned to his fate, walked to the bed and slowly turned the rocker to raise the bed. He looked at his father, walked to the bench beside the bed and sat down.

"I didn't come here to catch up with you... I don't want to hear you apologize to me either." Shang Kai paused, and then said, "I came to tell you that the statute of limitations for the case back then has expired... which means So, even if I find the murderer who killed my mother, I can't convict him..."

Father Shang stopped, as if suddenly aware of something, he struggled to sit up and held Shang Kai's hand on his knee: "My child...it's all over, it's all over, let's put it down..."

"I don't want to go there." Shang Kai looked at him and said word by word, "But

It's me, I don't want to go there at all..."

He wanted to find the root cause of his pain for these years, and he was completely cured after the murderer was punished, but God did not give him this chance, God was never kind enough to him, so what should we do?Shang Kai could only struggle to heal himself.

"But this matter, I know that no matter how much I persist, there will be no room for change..." After Shang Kai said this, it seemed that all the strength in his body had been exhausted. He lowered his head in front of his father's hospital bed, slowly He slowly closed his eyes, "I know, you probably don't care how many years the statute of limitations of this case is...Probably only I will remember this kind of thing. It's nothing...I just think I should tell you, wait for you After I'm done, go to her grave to have a look... It's the end, as you wish, I want to let it go."

Shang Kai felt that it was time to let go, he couldn't let this matter rest on his shoulders forever, and he couldn't expect this matter to have much weight in other people's hearts.He tried in vain to keep the traces of his mother when she was alive, but these traces finally disappeared, and he couldn't keep them, so he had to give up.

"I will...Xiao Kai, I will visit your mother." Father Shang said anxiously, "I have been visiting your mother all these years."

Shang Kai smiled palely, as if he had settled a major event: "Then please don't forget this time, don't make her wait for you anymore... If there is nothing else, I am still busy with work, so I won't be here Stay in Lincheng, and I want to visit her grave before I leave. I'll leave first, take care of your health and drink less."

Father Shang seemed to be nostalgic, grabbed Shang Kai's cuff, and almost fell off the hospital bed: "Son... I know I was wrong, can you... can you go home and see me more... I and you Xia Auntie really wants you back, and Xiaoxu, Xiaoxu too..."

As if he didn't hear, Shang Kai numbly pulled back his sleeves and stood up to leave.

"Xiao Kai..." Father Shang called his name in vain behind him.

Shang Kai didn't look back, but stood still, and after a while of silence, he opened his mouth slowly and said with difficulty: "I will try my best."

……

When Shang Kai walked out of the ward door, he saw Shang Xu holding a stainless steel insulated box and sitting on a bench for people to rest. Beside him was a middle-aged woman with vigilant and hostile eyes. With the sound of opening, he immediately looked over and met Shang Kai's gaze.

That is Xia Xin.

Although she was an elder, she was an elder who didn't want to see Shang Kai very much. Shang Kai didn't need to say hello to her, and he just nodded slightly to her, ready to move on.

"Brother, I'll see you off." When Shang Xu saw this, Ma Liu stood up, and put the insulated box in his hand to Xia Xin, ready to follow.

Shang Kai wanted to say no, but before he could say anything, Xia Xin suddenly stood up.

"Xiao Xu, you go in first to deliver food to your father, I have something to say to your brother."

Shang Xu was taken aback, then turned around, faced Xia Xin, and stood between the two of them, as if in a protective gesture, "Mom!"

Xia Xin was surprised by his son's behavior, and said with a sneer, "What are you doing? Are you afraid that I will eat him? How could I give birth to such a stupid son as you, with a bent elbow? Go away!"

Shang Xu usually listens to Xia Xin the most. If there is any disagreement between mother and child, Xia Xin's voice is raised, and he immediately softens, but this time he didn't let him: "Mom, I didn't bend my elbows! Shang Kai is my brother." ,We are a family."

Xia Xin was speechless, and after thinking about it, she didn't know what to say.

"I know, you have always been brooding over the fact that I fell into the water when I was a child, but I swear, it was definitely not my brother who pushed me into the water, I fell by myself! Also, you are afraid that my brother will steal the property from me, aren't you? But you can also see that my brother studied at the University of Political Science and Law. He gave me what belonged to him from the very beginning... Think about it carefully, my brother has already shown weakness like this, but how did you do it? "

Shang Xu's words had the effect of shocking everyone, Xia Xin's eyes widened, blank and hesitant.Standing behind Shang Xu, Shang Kai suddenly found that the children who followed him back then had all grown up.Fu Xiaojia has grown up, and so has Shang Xu.

"Mom! I beg you, don't be so selfish, just take a step back. Dad and I hope that brother can come back... We are a family of four, not a family of three!" Shang Xu said seriously to Xia Xin.

After being taught such a lesson by her son, Xia Xin couldn't hold back her face. After faltering for a long time, she could only continue to teach Shang Xu with a straight face: "Get out of here! Did I say anything? Your mother is like this in your eyes A vicious person?"

Shang Xu was timid, looked at Shang Kai behind him, and was surprised to find that Shang Kai smiled at him, and put his palm on his shoulder and squeezed it.

"It's okay, you go in."

Shang Xu was silent for a while, lowered his head, grabbed the incubator, and walked quickly into the ward, leaving Shang Kai and Xia Xin standing in the corridor facing each other.

In the end, it was Shang Kai who spoke first: "Aunt Xia, what do you want to say to me?"
