Back to 49 days before death

But after seeing him for one night, Zheng Jiyu, who didn't look old at all, suddenly became haggard. His hair was more than half gray, and his eyes were very cloudy. He looked like he had aged more than ten years.

Zheng Ze hesitated for a few seconds, but he almost didn't recognize him. It wasn't until the other party greeted him that he suddenly realized and let out an "ah".

Zheng Ji saw Zheng Ze's surprised expression in his eyes, but didn't say much, just said softly: "If we have time, let's chat."

Zheng Ze had no reason to refuse, so he nodded to Jane and walked out.

However, Zheng Jiyu stopped for a while before going out, and his eyes flickered when he looked at Jane, as if there was some deep meaning.

The public hospital is no better than a nursing home, it is crowded with people everywhere, the two of them walked out all the way until they reached the small garden of the hospital, and then found a quieter place to sit down.

With the sound of cicadas singing and the hot sun in summer, it was not a time for talking, but a pair of father and son were left looking at each other.

After being relatively silent for a long time, Zheng Ze broke the silence and spoke first: "How is he now?"

It is self-evident who he refers to.

Hearing this, Zheng Jiyu's face turned pale, and he said with a sad face: "It's very bad. He didn't wear a seat belt when the car accident happened, and he rushed out through the windshield, causing a skull fracture and facial damage. But these are still Secondly, the most troublesome thing is that the car you were in moved forward for a considerable distance due to inertia, and happened to run over Xiao Yu, causing serious secondary damage."

"so he……"

"Broken leg, total shattered patella, torn meniscus in the knee, beyond repair."

The knee meniscus is torn, this sounds very academic, but after so many years of working with Lin Yu, Zheng Ze still knows some ins and outs of medicine.The meniscus of the knee is the buffer of human bones, if it is torn to the point of being irreparable, it means that the entire knee is useless, and it is as simple as - Bai Xiaoyu is limping, even if artificial organs are re-implanted, he will die for the rest of his life. Needed supports and could no longer stand up.

Zheng Ze swallowed, and didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only ask back: "Does he know?"

Zheng Jiyu shook his head: "Still in a coma, I have no chance to tell him."

Zheng Ze could already imagine Bai Xiaoyu's reaction after knowing all this. He loves jumping so much and has such a lively personality, but he will spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

But who can blame this?Isn't it his willfulness, ignorance, and self-righteousness that caused such a result?

There will always be some difficult hurdles in life. Bai Xiaoyu has already paid such a painful price for her willfulness. After this time, he will grow up.

Zheng Ze sighed faintly, feeling helpless and fateful.

Seeing him like this, Zheng Jiyu was always relieved, and said with a smile: "It's been about half a year since we father and son had a proper conversation."

"It counts." Of course the tit-for-tat confrontation the day before yesterday can't be counted. In fact, the conversation between the two was during the Chinese New Year last year.At that time, nothing happened, and Zheng Ze hadn't even met Yu Yixin yet.Their father is kind and their son is filial, and they enjoy themselves happily.

But who would have expected that they would be strangers when they met again.

Zheng Jiyu sighed, with undisguised exhaustion in his voice: "Do you hate Dad?"

This question was asked very suddenly, and Zheng Ze couldn't answer it for a while.

hate it?If he had asked when he had just learned the truth, his answer would have been yes, but now, after going through so much, these hates really don't matter.

He took revenge, he succeeded, he got everything he wanted, and changed his destiny.

Even if he was really destined to leave, he would have died without regret.

However, he still felt a little unwilling. He thought he was not a saint, and could not tolerate everything. Zheng Jiyu's behavior was not worthy of forgiveness, so he chose to remain silent.

Such silence gave Zheng Jiyu a chill, even though he had already expected the answer.He nodded and said to himself: "I hate it, yes, I have done so many things to you and your mother, if you don't have any resentment in your heart, it really can't be justified."

Zheng Ze frowned, a little impatiently: "Is that all you want to say?"

"Of course not. I believe you also know why I came here for you." Zheng Jiyu looked at him with a serious expression on his face, "I have already read the records on the driving recorder."

Zheng Ze was taken aback for a moment, only then did he realize what he meant.

His car has always been equipped with a driving recorder, which is automatically turned on after driving.In other words, the conversation between him and Yu Yixin on the way to find Bai Xiaoyu, as well as what Bai Xiaoyu did later, have all been recorded.

Although the car accident is temporarily classified as an accident, if this video is released, Bai Xiaoyu's charge of intentional homicide will never be cleared.

His father actually came to him with this matter, which means that not only one person has the video, but also the other person who has the video has a very close relationship with him, and he is the kind who will never betray him.

Zheng Ze didn't want to know how his father got the video, and he didn't want to know what kind of transactions were involved. At this moment, he just wanted to know Zheng Jiyu's purpose.

So he opened his mouth with a hint of chill in his voice: "So... what do you want me to do?"

"I didn't want to ask you anything." Zheng Jiyu stared tiredly, and there was a hint of pleading when he looked at Zheng Ze, "I just want to beg you... let Xiao Yu go this time."

The word "begging" had too much meaning, and Zheng Zekan couldn't bear it, so he pursed his lips and didn't answer.

Seeing this, Zheng Jiyu sighed and continued: "I know that I have done a lot of wrong things, but Xiao Yu is innocent, he is still young, and the Bai family couple who raised him are not very educated, so some moral problems have appeared. Deviations have led to today's consequences."

"It's not young anymore..." Zheng Ze sneered, "At that time, I had already gone abroad to study alone, in a place I was not familiar with... Oh, Bai Xiaoyu is fine. You don't have to excuse him, he is fully aware of himself. What you are doing, you know your purpose.”

Zheng Jiyu couldn't refute it, because it was indeed recorded in the video: "You can't let him go?"

"Why do you beg me to let him go, and why do you think that I will definitely agree to you?" Zheng Ze smiled up to the sky, and tears came out of the corners of his eyes, "Zheng Jiyu, you are really a good father, is it Bai Xiaoyu? You will protect him no matter what happens. Am I your son? He wants my life. If you still protect and protect him like this, your fucking conscience has been eaten by dogs. The relationship between father and son for more than 30 years, in your In the eyes of his mother, he is not as good as a son picked up for nothing!"

Zheng Jiyu was stunned, with a slightly embarrassed expression: "Ozawa, don't say that."

Zheng Ze was taken aback by this claim, he hadn't heard these two words for more than ten years.After a long time, he almost forgot that this was the baby name his parents loved to call him when he was a child.

He wiped his face and wiped away the tears that were about to overflow from the corners of his eyes: "So, can you tell me why? I am so inferior to him, why would you rather give up on me and leave something for him?"

"Some things are not as simple as you imagined. If I don't love you, I won't send you abroad, give you a good living and learning environment, and give you the Zheng family." Zheng Jiyu said to himself He was already choked up, "I'm protecting Xiao Yu so much, I just want to make up for the mistakes I made back then. I'm sorry for his mother, and I'm sorry for him too."

Zheng Ze hesitated for a second, and made a ridiculous guess, why Yu Yixin lost his memory, why Cai Qing suddenly disappeared with the child.

Immediately, Zheng Jiyu's words proved his guess: "Because Xiao Yu's birth was all my fault."

Zheng Jiyu sat down on the stone bench, and softly talked about the events of the year.

It turned out that before Bai Xiaoyu was born, Zheng Ze's mother had already discovered Cai Qing's existence.But at that time, she had been ill in bed for a long time, knowing that her life was not long.So she didn't break up with her husband hysterically, but only made two demands to him.

One is to send Zheng Ze abroad and guarantee the living conditions thereafter; the other is to leave Zheng Ze with 15% of Zheng's shares.

In this way, even if she leaves, she doesn't have to worry that her son will be left alone in the future and will be dependent on others.

Zheng Jiyu felt ashamed, so he not only agreed to these conditions, but also promised to hand over the Zheng family to Zheng Ze in the future.Because the Zheng family was founded by him and his wife, only Zheng Ze has the right to inherit it.

Zheng Ze's mother accepted these, and finally let go after getting these promises.

Zheng Jiyu was ecstatic to get approval, and he immediately found Cai Qing to share the good news.

Unexpectedly, Cai Qing's reaction was not as happy as he thought, he just kept saying, wait a little longer, wait a little longer.It was also because he was too happy that day that he didn't notice these abnormalities. He only thought that it was because Cai Qing was shy, so he didn't investigate further.

To celebrate this event that day, they specially set up a large table of dishes.

Zheng Jiyu was so happy, so he drank a lot of wine and told the truth after he said it. After drinking, he still had some scruples and finally poured out his love for many years.

The fiery emotions were finally vented, and Zheng Jiyu was so excited that he couldn't control himself, but it was because of this drunkenness that he made an unforgivable mistake in this life.

He himself can't remember the details in the middle, he only knows that when he sobered up, he saw Cai Qing who was in a mess and comatose.

Not only that, Yu Yixin who had already fallen asleep didn't know why, but got up to look for his mother, so he saw the situation of the two of them.The young Yu Yixin ran out in a panic, and accidentally fell into the reservoir. Although he was found and rescued in time, he was frightened and drowsy for several days, talking nonsense all the time .

Seeing Yu Yixin like this and Cai Qing who was frowning with worry, Zheng Jiyu finally realized the mistake he made, but it was too late.

He later signed a power of attorney and promised to take care of their mother and child for the rest of their lives, just wanting to tie Cai Qing.He felt that although he made a mistake, his heart was true, so he wanted to keep the two mother and son and slowly make up for the mistakes he made.

But I didn't expect Cai Qing to be so stubborn. He accepted his apology and power of attorney on the surface, but when he was on a business trip, he ran away quietly with his son.

This escape lasted for 18 years.

Zheng Jiyu thought that he could only be so indebted in this life, but he never thought of it.In the last period of his life, he was actually allowed to find Cai Qing.

And what he didn't expect was that after a night of chaos, they actually had a son.

Over the years, he has been troubled by guilt and regret. He felt that he was sorry for Cai Qing and Bai Xiaoyu, so he desperately wanted to make up.

Even if it might hurt his eldest son, he can only admit it.

He felt that Zheng Ze had grown up and become independent, and Bai Xiaoyu was the child who needed to be protected, so he chose to side with his younger son and oppose Zheng Ze.

He has not regretted everything he has done so far, only regretting that he did not find Bai Xiaoyu earlier, so that he would not develop his current temper, nor would he make such an irreversible mistake.
