When will the fog clear

Chapter 44 The Truth Comes Out (4)
Lin Miao looked at Chen Jizhen's expression very seriously, and finally knew what was wrong.Why is there only anger in his words and expressions, no surprises.What he pursued was who sent her the recording, but he did not question the content of the recording.Lin Miao looked down at the cracked tablet on the ground with a dazed expression.She was holding on to the window sill with both hands. It wasn't like this. She might not be able to stand still. Her expression was half crying, half smiling, and her voice was softer than the air: "So...you already knew it, didn't you?"

Chen Jizhen pursed his lips tightly, his thick eyebrows were furrowed, and he could see the looming veins in his grasping hands. He wanted to reach out to pull Lin Miao in desperation, but she swung her away forcefully.

The blood on Lin Miao's face faded away, and she just couldn't believe it. The person standing in front of her was so strange that she didn't know him in an instant.It was his trust and care for her that broke her persistence, and she gave up her barriers and chose to be with him.But... trusting this kind of thing is like a sharp knife at this time, tearing through all the unbearable things with blood dripping.Many things can be figured out as long as they are carefully connected.

"No wonder you said you believed me with eloquence. I should have known it earlier. If a person as smart and rational as you didn't know the truth, how could he trust me with intuition and emotion? But I'm still so stupid, I'm so 'touched' by you..." Lin Miao's tone was not harsh, as if she was exhausted from crying, limp, but the inadvertent boredom made her heart chill.

Chen Jizhen couldn't help but took a step forward and approached her: "Miaomiao..."

"Don't call me that! I feel disgusting!" Lin Miao stared at him bitterly, pointed to her heart and said, "Could this be what you mean by looking carefully? Chen Jiti, you feel the same about me as they do." Very easy to cheat, isn't it?"

"Listen to me, it's not like this..." Chen Jizhen seldom spoke so awkwardly, he had a lot to say in his heart, but when it came to his mouth, there was nothing left.Because at this time, no amount of explanation would be futile, and she couldn't listen anymore.If he said it was for her, she would never believe it.

"That's not it? What should it look like? Well, let me think about it..." Lin Miao laughed and cried, but the smile was a bit bleak, and she murmured in a broken voice, "I remember you said, Keeping me by your side is not to torture me, so you just... love and hate me? At the beginning, you had feelings for me, but I chose Gu Huai anyway, and Chen Baoyue also liked Gu Huai, and even fell down the mountain and fell into a coma You annoyed me, and even used tricks to separate Gu Huai and me. Later, when you found out the truth, you just stayed with me. If someone warmed the bed, you can not only monitor whether I have broken ties with Gu Huai, but also make Chen Baoyue such a nasty person. scheming."

These were harsh words that Lin Miao had never had before.

Chen Jizhen roared: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Of course she knows!It was because she knew too much that her heart ached so much that the surrounding night was like a rushing tide, which made her unable to breathe!

At this time, Lin Miao's eyes were blurred and she couldn't see clearly. In fact, when did she see clearly all these years?She thought that Gu Huai had abandoned her, she thought that she had caused Chen Baoyue to suffer, she thought that Xie Jiaqi was a friend, she even naively thought that he loved her.In fact, she didn't get anything, but lost a lot.For her sake, her mother knelt on the ground and begged them to withdraw the lawsuit; her father spent all his savings going around for her sake; there was a time when she dared not see anyone, hiding in a dark room day and night Ye was afraid of being criticized by others; she gave up music and worked around, because she had no money and could only live in a cold and damp basement...

Now, a light recording suddenly came to tell her that these sufferings were not necessary to endure, but were inflicted by her two good friends in partnership, which made her feel uneasy.

"Do you know? I didn't believe or dare not believe this recording at first, because the content was so unbelievable and terrifying, but after seeing your reaction, I had to believe it. Isn't it ridiculous? Because I believe You, you don't bother to lie, you just choose not to tell me." When she said this, her expression was indifferent, and the sentence "I believe in you" did not reassure Chen Jizhen, but felt scared.Yes, he was really scared, clenched his fists, but couldn't say anything.

Lin Miao bent down to pick up the culprit's tablet, but he grabbed his arm and couldn't move.

"Miaomiao, don't think about the past, haven't we always been good?" He looked at her fixedly.

good?After all these years of walking dead, can it be called good?Lin Miao's gaze ranged from the clasped hands, to the pair of ring fingers, to his face and eyes.In the past, she always felt that she could get support from the depths of his eyes, and get the sense of security she lacked.But now this power is gone.After her high emotions passed, she gradually regained her calm. She should feel very sad, but it is useless to be sad. She is like a fool wrapped in countless lies, weak and at the mercy of others.

She slowly pushed his hand away, and said word by word: "I think... I must have done a lot of sins in my previous life, and I have come to pay for it in this life. I broke up with Gu Huai, now because it is a lie, what is the result, do you know?"

"No..." Chen Jizhen shouted out loud, because he was afraid of her reaction, so after he accidentally learned the ins and outs of the matter, he didn't reveal a word, and sent her to such a far away place to let her avoid those things.It's not to protect Bao Yue, but to protect her. Knowing the truth is not good for her. She is too affectionate and soft-hearted.And he is not Gu Huai, so it is impossible to break up no matter what.She said he knew everything?No, he didn't know that his innocent sister would become so crazy one day, and he didn't know that he would be more and more inseparable from her every day.

"Shall I go, or you?" Lin Miao said suddenly, without giving him time to argue.

Seeing that he didn't respond, she stood up straight and was about to walk towards the door.

"Then we'll talk after you calm down." Chen Jiti blocked her footsteps and went out by himself.

There must be a way.He looked back at the closed door, feeling heavy in his heart.

Lin Miao looked at herself in the mirror, and felt that in just one day, she seemed to be a different person, becoming so ugly, red and swollen eyes, mocking lips, cold face...she should be heartbroken, The friendship is fake, and the relationship is also fake, but she was very calm. She swept the debris on the floor, took a shower, and then fell asleep.In fact, she was so tired that she didn't want to wake up at all. If she didn't wake up, she didn't have to face it or think about it.

It's a pity that after waking up, the sky was still dark and Chen Jizhen didn't come back, so Lin Miao breathed a sigh of relief.

There was also a memo posted next to the phone, reminding Lin Miao to remember to call Xie Jiaqi and ask her why she changed roles and if something happened—it was a reminder she wrote down when she came back from China to care for her friends.

Lin Miao grabbed the phone, feeling ridiculous.

Xie Jiaqi was able to testify to her innocence, but she didn't say anything, Chen Baoyue obviously remembered everything, but she didn't say anything, and Chen Jizhen knew everything, but she still didn't say anything.Such a truth, don't worry about it.

I sat until dawn, watching the mist outside the window gradually dissipate.The classmate called to tell her that classes were suspended today, and the teacher sent an email to assign homework.The tablet was broken, and Lin Miao was not in the mood to do homework. Even her coming here was deliberately arranged by Chen Jizhen. She took herself too seriously.I still turned on the computer and didn't read the homework.She suddenly thought of Gu Huai. She hadn't allowed herself to think about him for a long time. She wasn't someone who would be entangled. She felt that there was no possibility for herself and Gu Huai, so she simply broke up.But now the memory is like a scourge that has been released from the gate, rushing in without warning.

At that time, he took his student ID card and said casually: "...My name is Gu Huai, Gu from Gucheng, and Huai from Huaihe River. In this way, we are quite destined. There are three waters in Miao, and three waters in Huaihe River. right?"

right what right?They shouldn't have met.Dade said that he had a bad life in the past few years because he met himself, and she was so indifferent to him and said a lot of nasty things.In fact, he also had a hard time.

The cursor moved on the screen, Lin Miao moved her fingertips a few times, and opened a page that she hadn't logged in for many years. The URL could still be opened, but the interface was completely unrecognizable. If she could not still log in to the account, she would have thought that I entered the wrong website.This is a campus network platform for college students in China. She hasn't been on it since she dropped out of school, and it still works, but the version has been changed again and again.It shows that her latest status is still immature five years ago——

I am ready to graduate, although I am reluctant, but the end point is also the starting point, go go go!

The following are the comments of many students who are already unfamiliar with their faces, teasing, blessings, congratulations, and those who are irrelevant and have dinner appointments here.

At that time, it was really good, so carefree.

Gu Huai seldom left her a message. He was always serious in front of outsiders.He would send her private messages, send them to her when he saw something interesting and interesting, and sometimes say some nasty things.Unexpectedly, the private message... was filled with his messages. I don't even know if the system has been cleaned up, but it is still full of them. His blessings on a certain festival, his choice in a certain difficulty, and his mood at a certain moment... ...For so many years, she never knew what kind of mood he was holding to come here and write these words?

——Miaomiao, are you feeling uncomfortable?In fact, I feel more uncomfortable, but I can't help it.

- I don't want to be a doctor anymore.

——The moon is very round tonight, the Mid-Autumn Festival is here, and my heart is missing.

——Miaomiao, Happy New Year, how are you doing?
——I just want to be with you, no matter what anyone says.

--I am so tired.

—Let's run away, it's really suffocating here.

The latest is also the last one. It was a few months ago, and Lin Miao remembered the phone call Gu Huai had made to him.

She told herself last night, don't cry anymore, crying is useless.But at this moment, she still couldn't make a sound, she couldn't control her tears at all.

If it is doomed to miss, why meet again?Lin Miao seemed to think of something, and touched her stomach. Chen Jizhen didn't know the news yet.The original surprise is no longer a surprise.

In fact, Chen Jizhen didn't go anywhere. He stayed in the company all night. He just came back from a business trip and his mind was still in chaos.This day, he smoked a lot for the first time. He didn't like Lin Miao smoking and forced her to quit, and he hardly smoked himself, but now he is upset.

That recording was secretly recorded by Xie Jiaqi when they were talking because she was afraid that Bao Yue would tell the truth, and later used this to coerce Bao Yue to use her relationship to help her arrange roles, which is not without deep scheming.If Baoyue hadn't begged him to help get the recording back later, Gu Huai wouldn't have known about it, and he still didn't know what happened. It was so simple that he couldn't even recognize that the person begging him for help was his own. younger sister.

Almost at the same time, he made a decision not to let Lin Miao know that she would collapse.He also knew that there is no impenetrable wall in the world, but he didn't expect this day to come so fast that he was caught off guard.Whatever he did, he just did it, and he didn't need to explain to anyone, so when he was questioned by Lin Miao last night, he couldn't explain it for a while.It is not simple to say simple, but it is not complicated to say complicated.A lie needs to be covered by countless lies.

Lin Miao may no longer want to believe that he kept this matter a secret, not for his own sister, but for her, because even he was unwilling to hurt her, how could he allow others to touch her at all?

Chen Jizhen's chest was heaving, and he punched the wall with great force, his knuckles bled in an instant, but his face still had a cold expression, which startled the secretary who had just come in to report, After putting down his work, he quickly bandaged his wound.He didn't seem to feel the pain, he pursed his lips and asked, "What's the matter?"

"A lady who claimed to be Ann came outside and said that you said that she could bring a research team to the company for study and research. How do you think I should arrange it?" the secretary asked cautiously. She could see that this mysterious oriental Boss, I'm not in a good mood right now.

It was true that Chen Jizhen didn't want to be a director.But Ann is Lin Miao's best friend here, and she asked him to take care of her, and he agreed immediately, so after thinking about it, he asked the secretary to invite Ann in.Chen Jizheng sat back at the desk, but his injured hand was not in front of anyone.

Although Ann was curious about everything, she still acted restrained, smiled shyly, and greeted Chen Jizhen: "Hello."

"Please sit down." Chen Jiti nodded.

"We have a new project, and we want to come to you to do a little research." Ann was very generous and decent when talking about the business, "I wonder if it's too much trouble for you?" She never thought that Chen Jizhen would meet her in person After all, Lin just said two days ago that he was very busy and went on a business trip.

Chen Jizhen was very considerate, and for Lin Miao's sake, he gave enough face: "No trouble, Lin Miao mentioned to me before, if you need any help, just tell my secretary later, she will arrange it for you ,You are Welcome."

Ann looked grateful. She grew up abroad, her feelings were not as reserved as Lin Miao's, and she always said something.

"Lin is right. You are really nice. In fact, you have always been my idol. I hope to be as successful as you in the future. Lin is so lucky to meet you."

I'm afraid Lin Miao doesn't think so at this time.Chen Jizhen leaned forward slightly, looked at her and asked casually, "Oh? Did she mention me to you?"

"Of course, she said a lot, don't worry, it's all good things." Ann blinked mischievously and smiled.

"On the phone last night, I haven't had time to hear clearly, you seem to want to tell me something?"

Ann was surprised by this, and raised her eyebrows to meet his gaze: "Hasn't Lin told you yet? Impossible? Such great news!"

"What news?" Chen Jiti was good at taking advantage of the situation to ask questions.

"It's just..." Ann still hesitated.

"Say!" Chen Jizhen's tone suddenly became severe.

Ann was bluffed for a moment, and everything popped out of her brain: "It's Lin who has a baby!"

Chen Jizhen's originally indifferent eyes suddenly froze, and he stood up. He was already tall, but when he suddenly stood up like that, his aura was so strong that Ann couldn't speak.

He took a deep breath and spoke again: "Can you please say it again?"

"Lin is pregnant. I accompanied her for a check-up the day before yesterday. She also said that she would tell you the news personally when you came back. I don't know if it's right to tell you that now..." Ann was very nervous, feeling that she appeared too Not the time.

Fortunately, Chen Jizhen said in the next sentence: "Thank you, I will ask the secretary to take you to visit the research and development room. If you need any help, just let me know." Without waiting for Ann to speak, he pressed the intercom and asked the secretary to take him away up.When the office was quiet, he slumped down on the leather chair and raised his hand to rub the sore brows, but when he saw the blood-stained gauze, he couldn't help but smiled wryly.
