aren't we in love

Chapter 16 Don't make demands on someone who doesn't love you

When he first heard about all the arrangements, Cheng Luoming did not agree. He still couldn't fully trust the Yu family brothers and sisters, especially Yu Jiajia.

"Does Yu Jiajia really want to help you or harm you? You trust her so easily?" Brother's worry is not unreasonable, but for Cheng Duanwu who has nothing, what else can he gain?If you take a gamble, you may have everything, but if you lose the bet, you will have nothing anyway, and there is nothing to lose.

"What did she lie to me for? It's obviously not the best choice for her to let Winter stay by Lu Yingqin's side. Give me the child, let me go far away, and put all the responsibility on me. I can kill two birds with one stone. I don't care. I think she is losing money."

My brother looked at Cheng Duanwu with complicated eyes, and said with emotion: "Sometimes I really think you are not stupid at all. Analysts always analyze in an orderly manner, but what about me? It's a mess."

Cheng Duanwu smiled bitterly: "It's much harder to look at yourself than to look at others."

"Oh," the elder brother finally agreed to Cheng Duanwu, he said with some worry: "I hope Yu Jiajia didn't lie to us."

Cheng Duanwu sighed softly, "Brother, this is the only way we can do now."

The elder brother also sighed: "I miss that kid Dong Dong too."

Cheng Duanwu smiled, "We will be reunited as a family soon."

The elder brother looked into the distance, and said sadly: "I hope, now we are passive, we can only do this, alas, do our best and obey the destiny."

The day Cheng Duanwu resigned, it was Zhang Qiao who was on duty.Hearing that Cheng Duanwu resigned, Zhang Qiao was very reluctant to part with tears.

"Smelly girl, just leave like this, you have no conscience."

Cheng Duanwu was also a little reluctant. Thanks to the care of so many colleagues for such a long time, he felt empty in his heart if he had to leave all at once.

Zhang Qiao wiped her tears and asked her: "Where are you going? I have to resign, is it far away?"

Cheng Duanwu nodded, "It's quite far away." On the other side of the ocean, and once he went there, he never came back.

Zhang Qiao didn't ask the bottom line, she thought for a while and asked, "Is Brother Cheng going with you?"

"Well, where can he go if he doesn't follow me?" She replied instinctively, and joked with a smirk for a long time: "You are not serious, you always care about my brother, what's the matter?"

How could Zhang Qiao not know Cheng Duanwu's thoughts on his elder brother's little daughter, but no matter how poor Zhang Qiao's family background was, she would not marry her daughter to a man who had no house, no car, sickness and no labor. I tried it before, but my brother sternly rejected it. My brother didn't want to drag anyone down.

Originally thought that Zhang Qiao would scold her a few words, but she said rather sadly: "Brother Cheng is a college student after all, he is a person who has seen the world, and he is not worthy of me." Zhang Qiao sighed lightly, and looked at Cheng Duanwu seriously: "I know that you brothers and sisters are definitely not ordinary people. They are so beautiful that they are not human beings, and you are superior just looking at them."

Most of the workers in the supermarket are middle-aged women, and there are also some girls who have graduated from technical secondary schools, such as Zhang Qiao. Those who have not studied are always full of admiration for college students and graduate students.Some people might laugh at them for their shallowness, but Cheng Duanwu felt that they were much cuter than many educated people in society.They themselves are not having a good time, but they are willing to help everyone around them. They usually care about every detail, but they are always righteous when encountering big things.Cheng Duanwu's ability to survive for so many years has a lot to do with their selfless help

She doesn't like to be sensational, but she still can't help it: "You should know my brother's temperament if you are not familiar with it. He doesn't want to drag anyone down."

"I know." Zhang Qiao smiled: "Brother Cheng is a good man."

"Zhang Qiao, it's been so long, thanks to you, otherwise I'd have been fired a long time ago."

Zhang Qiao glanced at her, and said carelessly: "I beat the children on rainy days, and I am idle when I am idle."

"In the future..." Cheng Duanwu is not a person who can speak beautiful words, but he said honestly: "In the future, I want to live a good life, find a similar man to marry, and don't suffer."

"Stinky girl, it's so sour, I want to cry again."

Cheng Duanwu's throat choked, and he put his arms around Zhang Qiao: "Thank you very much..."

"..."

On the night when everything was arranged, neither Cheng Duanwu nor his elder brother could sleep, and his elder brother's figure sleeping on his side was vaguely outlined through the torn sheets.

The lights were turned off, everything around was enveloped in the moonlight shining in through the window, Cheng Duanwu turned over, and the unsteady little bed creaked.

The elder brother on the side suddenly spoke: "Dragon Boat Festival." He called her name softly.

For so many years, their brother and sister lived with each other with their children, and sometimes they quarreled over the daily necessities, but they never thought of leaving each other.

"Ah."

"Tomorrow morning, let me accompany you to pick up the winter." Cheng Luoming's eyelids kept twitching all night, a little worried.

"No, you and Yu Dong can go directly to the airport. He still has Lele on his end. Don't make him worry about it."

The elder brother didn't speak for a long time, either disapproving or objecting.He suddenly asked a question: "Duan Wu, do you really want to spend the rest of your life with Yu Dong?"

Cheng Duanwu froze for a moment, and then answered quietly after a long time: "Is this question important?"

The elder brother sighed softly, "It's not important", he paused, and turned over, "Duanwu, do you regret living in winter?"

For seven years, her brother never asked this question. Cheng Duanwu lived a hard life. Many people asked her this question, but her closest brother never asked her this question.

Cheng Duanwu was a little choked up. In the past six years, the two brothers and sisters worked hard and tired together, all in order to grow up in Dongdong. My brother never complained. When Winter fell ill, she went to sell blood, and my brother also went to sell blood.He treats winter like his own child. He is also sick, but he always carries it by himself. Anyone who doesn't understand knows how hard it is when he is sick, but he carries it down, and he carries it. so many years.

"Brother, I have no regrets." Cheng Duanwu's voice trembled, "If I were to choose again, I would still give birth to him."

The elder brother smiled: "As expected, she is my sister, stubborn." He smiled easily, and he had never laughed so easily in all these years.

"Tomorrow, if we really leave, we will forget everything and live a good life."

Cheng Duanwu knew what his brother meant.He has been brooding over the past, maybe time is really a good medicine to fade the scars, even he wants to let go.

"elder brother……"

"Duan Wu, I used to be too paranoid and always wanted to impose my thoughts on you, always reminding you not to forget to hate." He smiled self-deprecatingly, "Now that I think about it, I actually made my sister so tired I am alive. Hating people is too tiring, I think it is better to live in peace, what can be better than living?"

"elder brother……"

"Actually, Lu Yingqin is not sorry for us. Didn't our dad always say 'you can't expect to repay your kindness'? Besides, it's not our kindness. No one stipulates that people must have a conscience and must repay us. Back then, we reported on our dad. It's not him, Lu Yingqin, who has the ability to revitalize the Cheng family's messy business, but I may not be able to do it!"

Cheng Duanwu knew why his brother said these words, he just hoped that she would alleviate her guilt.How could her brother, who was with her day and night, not know what she was thinking about?

She is tired from life, so why not her brother?

She felt sad when she thought about it, her eyes were red, and she stopped her voice: "Brother, stop talking, I know all about it."

If she wanted to leave here, no one would be able to hurt her in the future, even Lu Yingqin was no exception.From the moment she tore up the photos, she secretly vowed not to let herself fall into the prison of love again.She and Lu Yingqin followed the established track.

He doesn't love her, she leaves him.Since then, they have forgotten each other in the rivers and lakes, and no one will pick up the scars of the past anymore.Love is too much for her.

She will no longer expect Lu Yingqin to look back, because she understands: don't make demands on someone who doesn't love you, and don't give him a chance to look down on you.If he doesn't love you, you should love yourself more.

In the past, Cheng Duanwu often wondered if one day someone would hurt Lu Yingqin as deeply as he hurt her, would she be happy.The answer is, no.Because she didn't want another broken heart in the world.

The elder brother asked her if she really wanted to spend the rest of her life with Yu Dong?She thinks the answer is not important, Yu Dong can give her the stability she wants, she is willing to live with Yu Dong, this is enough, the promise of a lifetime is too heavy, Cheng Duanwu no longer believes it, she has become pragmatic, she just wants to Believe that a day is a day.

Cheng Duanwu stared straight at the ceiling, and said solemnly: "Hate is endless, I just want to live a good life, not to prove to anyone, just for myself."

"Good girl, when you grow up, Big Brother will wake up. Go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow, don't you want to see winter?"

Cheng Duanwu curled his lips, he was the one who was the first to sensationalize, and he was the one who spoiled the atmosphere.She said angrily: "Brother, if you meet a suitable girl in the future, you can also start a family. Winter is my son. If you want to play around, you will be born yourself!"

"It's terrible, the stinky girl separated you from me?!"

"..."

That night was the most peaceful day for the brothers and sisters to sleep for so many years. They hoped for a better tomorrow and a warm future, but they didn't expect that when they woke up, what they ushered in was a nightmare...

Yu Dongyi came early in the morning, and Cheng Duanwu didn't have much luggage, so his brother took it.After getting into the car, my brother and Yu Dong raised their heads worriedly and asked her, "Do you really want me to go with you?"

Cheng Duanwu admired the mother-in-law of these two men, rolled his eyes and said, "Boss, hurry up, don't waste time, I will pick up Dongdong now, and I will meet you at the airport later."

Yu Dong was obviously the same as Cheng Luoming, worried about his sister, and said with some concern: "Can Jiajia really bring out the winter?" He solemnly confessed: "Duanwu, I know it's heartless to say such a thing, But Dong Dong is still Lu Yingqin's child after all, even if he is left by his side, he won't be abused, if you really don't pick up your child, hurry to the airport and leave today."

Cheng Duanwu nodded, "I know," she stepped forward and stroked Yu Dong's frowning brows, comforting him and said, "Don't worry too much, just take care of Lele and my brother, I'll be there in a while."

"Be careful on the road."

"You too."

Yu Jiajia woke up the winter early in the morning, Lu Yingqin stayed at home yesterday, for the first time in a whole month, Yu Jiajia was surprised and uneasy.Looking at the time, the appointment with Cheng Duanwu was approaching, but Lu Yingqin was still sitting at the dining table without moving, reading the newspaper leisurely after breakfast.Yu Jiajia was a little anxious, but she didn't dare to show it.

Four or ten minutes before the appointed time, Lu Yingqin finally showed signs of leaving. He got up and straightened the collar of his shirt, and Yu Jiajia thoughtfully handed over his coat.

Lu Yingqin put on his coat, took the watch from Yu Jiajia, fastened the strap skillfully, turned around slowly, and looked at Yu Jiajia with slightly narrowed eyes.

He asked meaningfully: "Jia Jia, how long have you been with me?"

Yu Jiajia was taken aback by his question, the look in his eyes was really hard to guess, she thought for a while, since Lu Yingqin officially recognized her identity, it has been a few years, she honestly replied: "Six years."

Lu Yingqin slowly raised his head and looked into the distance, and said with emotion: "So it's been six years!"

Yu Jiajia was walking on thin ice, she lowered her head cautiously, "Yes."

"Jiajia, do you think I treat you well?"

Such Lu Yingqin was a little strange, Yu Jiajia even wondered if her plan had been seen through, she looked at Lu Yingqin nervously, but his expression didn't change much.

He is 30 years old this year, which is the age when a man is infinitely glamorous. He will neither look immature nor too vicissitudes.He has status, power, wealth, and an appearance that can make women fall in love at first sight.As a man, he is impeccable.He is naturally very kind to her and will respond to every request. When he loses his temper, no one dares to get close to her. Only she, Yu Jiajia, can caress her beard and calm down his anger.Outsiders all know that Lu Yingqin dotes on his fiancée to the utmost.She is the envy of almost all women in this circle.

Yu Jiajia smiled softly: "You are naturally very good to me."

Lu Yingqin also laughed, his slightly hanging eyebrows narrowed into a slit, dangerous and sexy.He raised his head and held Yu Jiajia's sharp chin, pecked lightly, "Good boy."

Yu Jiajia was startled by his kiss, but smiled calmly.

His smiling expression made Yu Jiajia shiver with cold.He only heard him say in a low voice: "Jiajia, do you know what I like about you?"

"Ok?"

"I just like it when you listen to me."

Yu Jiajia was shocked by his tone, her heart beat faster, but she still forced herself to smile.

Lu Yingqin changed his shoes and was about to go out. Yu Jiajia obediently followed behind him. Before leaving, he confessed: "I hope to see you at home tonight." His words were very meaningful.

"Where can I go if I'm not home?"

"Good boy." Lu Yingqin's tone seemed to be teasing his pet, but Yu Jiajia didn't pay much attention to it.Looking at the back of him leaving, Yu Jiajia realized that she was actually in a cold sweat.

After Lu Yingqin left, Yu Jiajia did not go out immediately. She called Cheng Duanwu who was waiting anxiously and told her that she would be an hour late.

An hour later, Yu Jiajia called Guan Yi, still in the usual soft voice, "Guan Yi, has Ying Qin arrived at the company yet? I'm afraid he didn't call him during the meeting. I have something to ask him. If he's not here I'll call him when I'm busy."

Guan Yi's voice was still so formulaic: "The boss is having a morning meeting, I will tell him to call you back later."

Yu Jiajia felt relieved, and said with a smile: "It's okay, then I'll call him later."

Guan Yi hung up the phone, sat beside him and closed his eyes to rest. Lu Yingqin asked quietly, "Yu Jiajia?"

"Yes."

Lu Yingqin smiled coldly, his expression became cruel, he slowly opened his eyes, the cruelty projected from his black and white eyes made Guan Yi startled.

He smiled, "Jiajia is getting smarter now."

Guan Yi wasn't sure what he meant, so he didn't dare to answer.

"Is the plane ticket ready?"

Guan Yi nodded: "It has been settled according to your order."

"very good."

Yu Jiajia simply packed up her winter clothes and hurried away with the child. She counted the time and rushed to the agreed place against the clock.

The driver who drove her was a confidant she installed herself, so she had no scruples, she put her arms around the child and confessed, "Winter, I'll take you to your mother's place right away, but you have to be good on the way and don't make trouble, do you hear me?"

When Dong Dong heard that it was being sent to "mother", his eyes lit up, and he immediately sat upright and stopped talking.

"how much longer?"

The driver looked at the road conditions and replied, "Half an hour."

Although Yu Jiajia was also in a hurry, she didn't urge her anymore, but she was a little upset looking at the constantly receding scenery outside the window.The child sitting quietly beside her seemed to be a miniature version of Lu Yingqin, which made her a little apprehensive.Since she left the house, her eyelids have been twitching non-stop, and she is always a little uneasy.

Seeing that they were about to reach their destination, the car stopped suddenly. Both Yu Jiajia and Dongdong leaned forward due to the sudden braking and hit the back of the front seat.

Yu Jiajia rubbed Dongdong's forehead and reprimanded: "What's going on?!"

The driver turned his head back in a murmur, with fear on his face: "It's...it's...Mr. Lu's car... just came over..."

"what?!"

"Mr. Lu's car..."

Yu Jiajia immediately leaned back dejectedly, her palms were covered with sweat.

Seeing the car stop, Dong Dong, who was sitting by the side, carefully turned sideways and whispered in Yu Jiajia's ear, "Auntie, why did it stop? Won't you take me to find my mother?"

The child's voice was tender and innocent, full of hope, but Yu Jiajia was powerless in despair.

After a while, Guan Yi came over and knocked on the car window.Yu Jiajia pressed the car window.

"The boss is waiting for you."

Yu Jiajia looked up and glanced in front of her, then silently lowered her eyelids: "Got it."

Yu Jiajia felt Lu Yingqin's complete indifference for the first time.He stood against the wind, with his back to her. She couldn't see his expression clearly, but she knew that it must be chilling.

She suddenly understood why so many people were afraid of Lu Yingqin.There is always a kind of terrifying ruthlessness that seems to be exuding from him, and he is not angry and majestic. This aura makes people afraid.

Yu Jiajia held her palm tightly, and didn't even notice her long nails digging into her flesh. Her back felt chilly, as if someone had put ice cubes on her.

It took a long time for Lu Yingqin to speak, "Jiajia, I've already booked your flight ticket, let's go out and have fun."

"why?"

"What else do I need to say? Jiajia, I thought you understood me." He slowly turned around and looked at Yu Jiajia condescendingly. The indifference in his eyes made Yu Jiajia almost die.

She took a deep breath, and finally smiled bitterly: "I see." She didn't say anything more, and turned to leave.

"Hold on."

Yu Jiajia stopped, "What?"

Lu Yingqin smiled: "Let's go directly to the airport!"

Yu Jiajia's smile finally froze on her face, and her eyes began to turn red.

Lu Yingqin looked at her with pity and tenderness, walked slowly to her side, stretched his arms into his arms, and whispered in her ear: "Jiajia, as I said before, I like you because you listen to me the most. Why don't you listen to me?"

"Yingqin..." Yu Jiajia knew how to go with the flow, tears came just in time, and I felt pity for the pear blossoms with rain, but Lu Yingqin was not moved.

"Jiajia, I haven't felt uncomfortable when you stayed by my side for six years. I hope you can keep it going. Don't let me send you out to play again. Go out and think about it this time."

Yu Jiajia's tears were still flowing, but her heart was filled with ashes.Does she really know the man in front of her?No, he was so strange that she didn't know him.Should she be happy?Fortunately, Lu Yingqin still has affection for her and didn't tell her to leave right away?
Women, in his eyes, are always so humble, let them go, like puppets, unable to have their own will.

She resented, but was powerless to resist.Just because he is Lu Yingqin.

She was reluctant to leave him.

Cheng Duanwu waited at the appointed place anxiously.She stared straight at the vehicles coming and going, but none of them brought her winter.

Yu Jiajia said it was an hour late, and now it was almost two hours, and she didn't dare to call her to urge her, for fear that she would change her mind if she got bored.

Yu Dong made a phone call 10 minutes ago, but now there is no call, and no one answered when she dialed back, she felt a little strange.Both ends were in a hurry, but she dared not leave.

After waiting for three full hours, Cheng Duanwu's silent phone finally rang. She didn't look forward to winter, nor did she look forward to Yu Dong, but only hoped for worse news than bad news.

The elder brother's voice on the phone was anxious, and he said anxiously to Cheng Duanwu: "Duanwu, it's over. Yu Dong was arrested. I've been waiting for more than an hour. I'm afraid something will happen."

Didn't Cheng Duanwu figure it out? He frowned tightly: "Brother, don't worry, just tell me what's going on?"

"Duan Wu, you support me first. Yu Dong was arrested by the police, we may not be able to leave, have you received it in winter?"

Cheng Duanwu's hand holding the phone was so trembling that she couldn't hold it, her whole body began to tremble because of fear, "Brother, I didn't receive winter, and Yu Jiajia didn't come..."

"..."
