miss you dearly

Chapter 11
"What do I want?" Wen Xingyuan extinguished the cigarette in his hand, and popped it out with his fingers: "When the Han family reaches the Xi family, I will come to your Han family to die. Are you satisfied with this answer?" In the words, he His face has turned cold, like a thousand years of ice that can freeze people to death in an instant, "Why did the project undertaken by Uncle Xi have an accident, and was Aunt Xi's car accident an accident? Those victims who kept saying they wanted justice Who is the family member instigated by, you and I know it well. Now you tell me, you deserve the punishment. Han Nuo, just say this to you, remember, I, Wen Xingyuan, have been in the real estate industry for a day, and there will be no apocalypse without you The day the group raised its head."

At that time, Han Nuo felt that Wen Xingyuan was too arrogant and bullying too much, so he said, "Don't talk too much."

"Full?" Wen Xingyuan laughed, almost word for word: "Everyone says: full, small is fine, too much is a disaster. I'll try."

Han Nuo looked straight into his eyes, his chest heaving violently.

"Your so-called killing relatives is giving up on Xi Yan. I have no position to blame you for choosing your family, but Han Nuo, don't expect the best of both worlds. When you stand on a high place and look down on Xiaoyan's desperation, you will lose love. Her qualifications. As for what your father did, you can tell me by touching your chest, can you get away with it after five years in prison?"

Wen Xingyuan's face turned completely cold, he raised his eyes, and even his demeanor was suppressed: "And your second uncle, how can he destroy Xi's family to death, I will make him return twice as much. Remind him, beware of me, don't I don’t even know who to turn to.”

That wasn't the first time Han Nuo saw Wen Xingyuan. When Xi Yan's family had an accident, when Han Nuo sent Xi Yan home, he saw Wen Xingyuan and Xi He standing downstairs talking. Before leaving, he patted Xi He's shoulder. First he frowned, then smiled lazily, and punched Wen Xingyuan's right shoulder hard.Then, he saw their hands clasped together.

That is the encouragement and tacit understanding that belong to men.

Han Nuo immediately understood that the friendship between Wen Xingyuan and Xi He did not happen overnight.

At Xi Mu's funeral, Han Nuo and Wen Xingyuan met for the second time.That day, he was wearing a dark suit, with his hands in his trouser pockets, his eyes fixed on Xi Yan's back for a long time, when Xi Yan was crying out of strength, it was he who strode forward to support her slipping body, and hugged her into his arms inside.

Han Nuo could see that look clearly, it was the expression a man should have when looking at his beloved woman, deep and distressed.

After that, I never saw Wen Xingyuan again until that day——

Han Nuo stood in front of his mother's hospital bed, listening to the familiar voice on the microphone, saying, "The flight at 03:30."

The airport broadcast came through the mobile phone, and Han Nuo knew that this was the last chance for him and Xi Yan, and it was also Wen Xingyuan, who was a rival in love, the last gentleman.However, he chose to hang up the phone and ended his four-year relationship with Xi Yan in silence.

It was already late at night when Han Nuo returned to the apartment.He lay on his back on the bed, closed his clothes and slept all night, and when he woke up, it was still pitch black outside.He didn't turn on the light, just kept his eyes open until there was light in the sky, then got up and went into the bathroom.

At exactly seven o'clock, Han Nuo stood in front of the window in a clean suit, dialing the number he knew by heart again.

The prompt remains the same: the phone you dialed is turned off or out of service area.As if he didn't care, he called over and over again, patiently and helplessly, until the doorbell rang.

Han Nuo opened the door and saw Xie Yuanteng standing outside, his face flushed and sweat dripping from the tip of his nose, he subconsciously frowned and asked what was wrong.Xie Yuanteng was out of breath, grabbed his hand and dragged him downstairs, but was held down by Han Nuo: "Endeng." He obviously needed a reasonable explanation before he would cooperate.

Xie Yuanteng kept his hand firm: "The prison hospital called, and Uncle Han had a heart attack—"

Before she could finish her sentence, Han Nuo broke away from her hand and rushed into the elevator.

Han Nuo had already forgotten why he drove the car to the hospital like a mad cow and wild horse, but when he stood outside the ward, he saw the tubes inserted all over his father through the glass, as if he heard the faint heartbeat in the heart monitor : Bang, bang, bang—I lost all strength.

A room full of paleness, a room full of instruments, and a heart full of coldness.

He stood numbly for a long time before he had the courage to open the door of the ward.

Han Tianqi was lying on the white hospital bed at the moment, with his eyes closed and his face pale. His body was full of instruments to maintain the last breath of life, and there was faint red blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

The sourness in his eyes overflowed, and Han Nuo almost shed tears.Seeing him, the doctor sighed and shook his head: "Your father has been waiting for you, and I was worried that he would not be able to support you. Fortunately." Then he patted him on the shoulder: "Farewell to him."

There were dark clouds outside the window, a few muffled thunders rolled by, and heavy rain poured down, as if to echo the strange and cruel "farewell." Han Nuo moved to the hospital bed step by step, slowly and with difficulty.

Han Tianqi was older than expected, with gray hair, deep wrinkles, and slightly sunken eye sockets.Looking at the father who gave birth to him and raised him, Han Nuo's heart was still pierced.

Han Tianqi was ill when he was imprisoned three years ago. Although Han Nuo would call the hospital to inquire about his condition, he never visited him. Only Xie Yuanteng often came and told his father's recent situation casually.He knew that his father was getting sicker and worse, and he knew that his father had always wanted to see him, but it was difficult for him to speak.

Han Nuo hates Han Tianqi.He hates that he has a wife and children but doesn't know how to cherish them. Instead, he never forgets a fruitless first love, and finally commits an irreparable big mistake, which makes Xi Yan's mother die in vain, and makes his mother's condition worsen, and she dies.

The happiness of the two families was ruined because of his single thought.However, they are father and son connected by blood, and Han Nuo couldn't bear to do anything except hate him in his heart.

At this moment, in the face of life and death, Han Nuo couldn't even bear the hatred. He squatted down in front of the hospital bed and put his hand on the back of Han Tianqi's hand: "Dad." After listening carefully, his voice was trembling.

Han Tianqi lay quietly, lifeless.

"Dad, I'm Han Nuo." Gently holding the skinny and weak hand with his young and strong hand, Han Nuo choked up: "Mom didn't blame you, she said, she believes that the relationship between husband and wife for more than 20 years is not fake, as long as you Yes, she still wants to be buried with you."

Han Tianqi remained motionless, but the corners of his eyes gradually became wet.

Han Nuo discovered this detail and knew he could hear him, so he continued: "Mom didn't suffer too much when she left, she just regrets not being able to see you for the last time, so when you see her, remember Say sorry to her."

At this point, Han Nuo couldn't continue.

Everyone thought that he didn't want to see Han Tianqi because of hatred, but they didn't know how afraid he was of going to the hospital.Three years ago, the day Xi Yan left, he sent his mother away.The memory of the coldness and paleness in the hospital was too deep, like the weak light at the end of the hall cast a faint cold light, which made him feel cold.

Someone once said that the hospital is "the gate of life, the prison of death", a life is born here and dies from here.For Han Nuo, the gate of hell has opened to him for the third time, first it was Xi Yan's mother, then his mother, and now his father.

For the first time in his life, Han Nuo felt that he could not bear the fact that he was about to be alone.

But no one can keep him.

As if feeling his pain, the skinny hand moved slightly, and miraculously returned to hold Han Nuo's.

Han Nuo raised his head suddenly and called out hoarsely, "Dad."

Han Tianqi slowly opened his eyes in this emotional call, looked at his son whom he hadn't seen in three years with cloudy and guilt-ridden eyes, and clenched his hands tightly.

Han Nuo's eyes were wet: "I'm late, I'm sorry." He tightened his hands, as if to keep his father, don't leave.

I don't know if it's because of this sentence of apology, or the tight hand movement, Han Tianqi's eyes seemed to be clearer, and he said angrily, "Dad has a request..."

"You said."

"Let me meet Xi Yan."

Han Nuo hesitated for a second, and finally said with difficulty, "Okay."

However, Xi Yan's mobile phone is still prompting: The number you dialed has been turned off.

Han Nuo felt that someone had punched his chest, and his heart ached. He dialed another number based on his memory.After three rings, it was picked up, and a strange voice came from the microphone: "Hello, who is it?"

Han Nuo asked without answering, "Is Yan Yan there?"

"Miss went out with the old man and will come back at night. If you are in a hurry, please stay..."

night?Can't wait.Han Nuo said "thank you" and hung up the phone.

At this time, Xie Yuanteng's voice came from the end of the corridor: "Hello, is Deputy Director Xi here? A meeting? Okay, I'll call at another time." After the call ended, she walked up to Han Nuo: "Xi He must be If there is a way to contact her, I will go to the bureau to find him now." But when he turned around, he was stopped by Han Nuo, who said, "No need. Don't do anything for me."

Xie Yuanteng had his own persistence, so Xi He came out of the meeting room an hour later and saw her.

She stood in the corridor, the hair on her forehead was half wet.

Xi He's expression remained unchanged, and he stepped forward, the footsteps were calm and clear in the quiet corridor: "Looking for me?"

The understatement of the inquiry, the tone so light that no one could hear the emotion, almost made Xie Yuanteng retreat, but she still tried her best to hold back her tears, "Could you please do me a favor."

"Deputy Director Xi, Director Zhang asked you to go to his office." Secretary Xiao Li came down from the stairs and saw Xi He standing face to face with a lady, and he conveyed the instructions of the director concisely.

Xi He didn't look back, just said: "Understood. I'll be over in five minutes."

This is what it means to give her 5 minutes.

Xie Yuanteng didn't waste any extra time, he omitted the pleasantries and foreshadowing, and directly explained the purpose of his visit, "Uncle Han is dying, he wants to see Xi Yan, but Han Nuo can't get through to her cell phone, can you..."

She was interrupted before she finished speaking, Xi He looked directly into her eyes, and said in an extremely indifferent voice, "Impossible."

As for why it was impossible, he didn't even bother to explain it.

Of course Xie Yuanteng would not give up so easily: "This is his dying wish, Xi He, please make it come true."

"Fulfillment?" Xi He's face suddenly darkened, and he said every word: "Why should I fulfill a person who killed my mother?"

It's too sharp to handle.

It was still raining outside, and the falling raindrops hit the glass, making a crisp sound, crackling, crackling...

Xie Yuanteng felt that her heart was also wet, because of Xi He's indifference at the moment, even though she knew how much this indifference should be, she still couldn't help but feel sad for Han Nuo, and she said humbly: "I beg you to help a son. Heart."

"Heh." There was a slight laugh, but the irony inside was too obvious.

Xie Yuanteng waited for his next words, but after he yelled, he didn't say a word, just turned his head and looked out the window in silence.

From her point of view, Xi He's side face was clean and tough, with clear and distinct eyebrows.If it weren't for the dark eyes full of coldness and rejection, and the aura not so domineering, it would be perfect.

Xie Yuanteng tried to fight for it: "This is his last wish, you can't make decisions for Xi Yan."

"Then what about you, what position do you have to decide for Han Nuo? Maybe, he is not really willing to let Xi Yan face his father." His questioning was so sharp that Xie Yuanteng, who was always eloquent, was stopped by the question. .

She didn't speak, and Xi He didn't say much. He turned around and passed her by. Just when Xie Yuanteng thought he had already left, a deep voice sounded from behind her: "This is not a simple favor, I There is no way to help. You have done what you can, go back."

For him, anything related to Han Nuo was not simply helping him. Seeing her was just to fulfill her wish.Xie Yuanteng thought he understood what he meant, completely disregarding that this was an office building, and suddenly turned around and shouted at him, "Han Tianqi was at fault, if he hadn't designed everything, Aunt He would not have died in vain, but why did you Can't think about it for Han Nuo, what is wrong with him, why should he bear the wrong things his father did, is it because he is Han Tianqi's son?"

Xi He stopped, the forbearance in his eyes seemed to have reached its limit.

Xie Yuanteng went all out, and his tone was uncontrollably sharp, "He has no right to choose his parents. When he can choose, he chooses your Xi family. No matter when and where, he always has Xi Yan in his heart. That is What does his father's mistakes have to do with him? Can't you just let him go?"

With cold eyes, Xi He suppressed his anger and turned around, with a cold side face, "They are father and son, and some things are inseparable. No one deliberately asked him to bear it, it was his own choice. Fortunately and The difference in fate is that meager luck is no match for helpless fate. Han Nuo and Xiaoyan may be lucky to meet each other, but they cannot be together, but it is a fate that no one can change. Han Tianqi asked to see Xiaoyan at this time , the purpose is nothing more than one, to ask for her forgiveness. Endo, don't you think this is too mean for Xiaoyan?"

Finally he asked again: "Who should it be, hold your hand high?"

Xie Yuanteng was speechless.Before the tears fell, she turned away.

Xi He looked at her back, with deep questions in his sharp eyes, "Endo, why?"

Xie Yuanteng replied in a low voice, "You know."

yeah i know.Xi He laughed, extremely astringent.

Three hours later, Xi Yan rushed to the prison hospital, and standing at the door of the ward, she heard Han Nuo say in a hoarse voice: "Dad, Yan Yan is on the way, she is willing to see you, you can wait a little longer .”

Han Tianqi's eyes were closed, and his voice was so soft that he could hardly hear him: "Han Nuo, Dad, I'm sorry."

Han Nuo said with difficulty: "I'm sorry, if I don't submit that evidence, you can be released in court..."

There was a crisp sound of "pa", as if someone's heartstrings were broken.

The car key in her hand slipped to the ground, and the blood on Xi Yan's face was taken away instantly. She looked at Han Nuo who turned back in disbelief, "Impossible, why, it's you?"

Her mother died in that car accident in vain, and Han Tianqi, as a suspect involved in the case, was actually convicted by the evidence collected by Han Nuo?For Xi Yan, this kind of truth is more difficult for her to accept than Han Nuo's betrayal of their love.

When Wen Xingyuan helped Xi's family win the construction site accident case, and when the judge acquitted Xi Xianming, the legal person of Hope Construction Company, everyone's attention was turned to Xi's mother's car accident case.No one told Xi Yan that Han Tianqi was involved in the case, but Han Nuo's avoidance of seeing each other gave Xi Yan an ominous premonition.

On the day the court pronounced the verdict, Xi Yan did not appear in court, she stayed at home quietly, stood on the balcony overlooking City A through the thick glass, recalling the series of events that followed during that period, she seemed to have predicted the ending with Han Nuo .Until he learned that Han Tianqi was convicted of the crime, Hao finally couldn't bear it and fell ill.

The high fever that lasted for a whole week frightened not only Xi Xianming and Xi He, but also Wen Xingyuan.It's just that Xi Yan didn't know how many wars and chaos there were during those seven days and seven nights.After she woke up, the only thing she knew without asking, was that Han Nuo never came to see her.Then shortly thereafter, they ran into each other unexpectedly.A street away, she saw Han Nuo and Xie Yuanteng holding hands.

The leaves rolled up by the gust of wind whirled around his feet, and Xi Yan's eyes suddenly lost focus.She wished that the scene in front of her was a misunderstanding, she thought Han Nuo would rush over to explain, but he didn't.

On that day, Xi Yan's love for Han Nuo was destroyed and exhausted.

On that day, when Wen Xingyuan mentioned taking her out again, Xi Yan didn't refuse like before, but proposed instead: "Let's go to Lijiang, I haven't been to the ancient city yet."

Go to a place without you and heal alone.

Xi Yan thought that it was her only choice at that time.

In fact, it's not that he didn't think about it, he did it on purpose, after all, his father was the murderer who killed her mother.However, the meeting on the street that day was obviously a coincidence.Xi Yan could not convince herself.But the truth is that he traded his father's freedom for the rest of his life in exchange for her mother's rest.

Xi Yan rushed out of the hospital and into the icy rain, letting the raindrops hit her face and hurt her heart.

Han Nuo followed and saw her kneeling on the ground, hugging her trembling body with his strong arms in the chaotic rain and fog, and finally said the truth: "I think letting go is the best choice for you."
