I won't be her substitute

Chapter 22

Saw it, saw him.I thought I had completely forgotten his existence, and only when I met again did I realize that I still remembered him.My beloved, Yuzhe, are you okay?I miss you.Are you thinking of me too?Looking at your back from a distance, you are still so tall and handsome.Why is your expression so painful?How can you be so cruel and make yourself so haggard?Don't you know that my heart aches when I see you like this?How can you spoil yourself without me by your side?Don't you know that your smile is my happiness?

——An Mengqing's diary

"It's so late, who could it be?" In the middle of the night, An's doorbell rang.Woke up An's father and An's mother in their sleep.Sleepy, Mama An got dressed.opened the door. "Meng...Meng Qing?"

"Mom." The voice was so small that it was almost inaudible.It could be seen that An Mengqing was very tired.

"Is it Mengqing?" Papa An also got up afterward.An Mengqing walked into the room.

"dad."

"Mengqing, what's wrong?" Mother An pointed to the luggage in An Mengqing's hand. "Didn't you go on a trip with your friends? Why don't you go home when you come back?" The daughter's expression made Mama An uneasy. Could it be that she had a conflict with Yu Zhe?

"Son, you talk. Don't frighten us."

An Mengqing's silence made her parents restless.In fact, An Mengqing struggled for a long time when she returned to her natal home.She doesn't want her elderly parents to worry about her own affairs, but the only people who can help her are her relatives.After wandering outside the house for a long time, he made up his mind and rang the doorbell.

She saw her parents' worries, and she felt their parents' distress.Big strings of tears poured out of An Mengqing's already red and swollen eyes, ran down her cheeks, and fell to the floor. After a burst of pain, the teardrops scattered.

"Why are you crying?" Mother An stepped forward, holding An Mengqing's teary face.These hands became so rough, it hurt to touch An Mengqing's face, her mother is really old, how can I bother her anymore? "Mengqing, don't cry, tell mom if you have something to say. Don't hold it in your heart. It's hard to see your mom like this."

In the end, An Mengqing couldn't hold it back, and hugged her mother, crying heartbreakingly in her arms. "Mom." Only one word yelled out all her pain, all her grievances, all her impatience.

In the whole room, there was only An Mengqing's crying. Although An's father and An's mother had too many questions, they did not interrupt An Mengqing's venting. They also knew that all the unhappiness was just crying out, and waited for her to calm down. In the end, it will naturally solve the doubts in their hearts.

The clock on the wall struck twelve.An Mengqing also stopped crying in a timely manner. Her mother's clothes were soaked by her tears, and a large area was wet. She really cried for a long time.

"Mom, I'm sorry."

"Silly boy, you don't need to say sorry to mom. In mom's heart, the daughter is always right. Tell mom, what happened?" Mother An helped An Mengqing to sit down.

After thinking for a while, An Mengqing spoke slowly and explained the reason of the matter.In less than half a year, so many things happened. The story of An Mengqing at Yu's house shocked her parents.

"It's unreasonable." Papa An couldn't control it, and the sound of him slapping the table came from the silent room. "What does he think of my daughter? You can scold me if you want, and you can beat me if you want?" Father An put on his coat and was about to go out, but was stopped by An Mengqing.

"Dad, where are you going?"

"Go ask that brat, ask him if he still has a conscience, if he has any basic principles of life, I owe the gambling debt, why should I take revenge on my daughter? If I had known about this kind of thing, I would rather have been Those people are killed, and they don't want to accept his seemingly kind help." Papa An finished yelling, pushed An Mengqing away, and continued to walk towards the door.

"Dad, can you listen to me once." An Mengqing also lost control and yelled at her father for the first time.Papa An froze in place. "Dad, Mom, I have never begged you for growing up so big. Can you listen to me about this matter?" The tears that had finally stopped were rolling in the eye sockets disobediently.

"Mengqing, our family has no money, no power, and no background, but we will protect our own flesh and blood with our own lives. We sent you to an orphanage since we were young, and we have not fulfilled our responsibilities as parents. Now, Xiaoyu Dead, bring you back, we also admit our selfishness, we only think of you after losing Xiaoyu. This has always been our heart disease, always wanting to do something for you. The meeting between you and Yuzhe is caused by us , let us solve it by ourselves. Let us beg him, even if it is a ox and a horse, let him let you go..."

"Mom, stop talking." An Mengqing stopped Mother An. "As I said, I did it voluntarily. I will help you pay off the debts owed to Yuzhe by your parents and children. I tell you the matter because I want you to be my backing, not to make you worry about me. Get justice for me."

"Mengqing, this is my father's fault alone. I will go to Yu Zhe to clarify." Father An is determined to go out, no matter what An Mengqing says, he still wants to go out.

"Dad." With a cry, An Mengqing bent her knees and knelt on the floor.

"What is Mengqing doing? Get up quickly." Mom hurriedly stepped forward to help her.An Mengqing rejected her.

"Mom and Dad, I know, you do this because you don't want me to be his doll, you don't want me to be wronged, and you always live in the shadow of another girl. There is no way, I have already regarded myself as that girl, and my heart has long been hypnotized , Blindly thinking that I am the one in Yu Zhe's heart. This is a terrible habit, once formed, I can't change it. I really fell into it. I couldn't refuse every word and every sentence he said. It can sink deeper and deeper. Love has taken root, and it will be very painful to get rid of it. Do you have the heart to make me feel so much pain?"

"Now you are in the same pain. If that girl is dead, you are just her substitute, and you will never escape Yuzhe's palm. What if that girl just left for a while and came back later? Wouldn't it be more painful for you then? .Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.”

"I've thought about all of this. I never thought that I could grow old with him, as long as I cherish every second now. Even if I leave in the future, at least I have these memories."

"Silly boy, why bother. It's not difficult to find a good family while you're still young. Listen to mom, leave him, and be yourself, okay?" Mother An helped her up.

"Let me think about it." She didn't want to argue, but suddenly, An Mengqing seemed to understand something, maybe she would be shaken. "Dad, Mom, let me settle the matter between Yu Zhe and me, please don't interfere."

"Let them figure out the young people's affairs by themselves." Father An and Mother An also went back to the room afterward.

After a night of deep thinking, she figured it out.My mood also became better, and the obstacles that had been disturbing my thoughts suddenly disappeared.An Mengqing, who hadn't laughed for a long time, went shopping happily that day.This also relieved the sleepless parents, and at the same time convinced them that An Mengqing would handle it well.

In the past few days without seeing An Mengqing, dense stubble has grown on Yu Zhe's handsome face. It seems that if he leaves An Mengqing, he will become a three-year-old child. He doesn't know how to wear his clothes. On the side, the buttons of the shirt were buttoned up and down, and the office smelled of alcohol.This doesn't look like a clean and tidy president's office.

"Yu Zhe, stop drinking."

Drinking for company all day, regardless of the company, fortunately the company is still managed by Shao Luo.Does a woman really have that much influence?Turn Yu Zhe, who once regarded his career as his life, into a useless person like now.The more Ye Zhimin thought about it, the more angry he became, why did Yuzhe become like this for her?

"Ye Zhimin, aren't you being too lenient? Get out of here." Ignoring Ye Zhimin's dissuasion, Yu Zhe continued to drink.

"Yu Zhe." Ye Zhimin hugged Yu Zhe from behind. "An Mengqing doesn't love you. The one who really loves you is me. Why don't you just look at me? Don't think about her anymore. Without her, you still have me. I will always be with you, always looking at you."

Is it because Ye Zhimin's confession gave him a little warmth in his empty heart, or because her fiery body fascinated him? It was the first time that Yuzhe did not refuse Ye Zhimin's embrace, and it was the first time that he felt close to her. Everywhere is so beautiful.So comfortable that he didn't know how to move his body.

"Ah. You..." Before Ye Zhimin could say a word, she was shut out of the door. A door blocked her view, and she didn't even see who was the one who carried her out of the door.She was so angry that she stomped outside the door.

Yu Zhe's acceptance made Ye Zhimin secretly happy in her heart. Just as she was about to make the next move, she was quickly pulled outside the door by a pair of strange hands. Before she could react, she stood firmly outside, looking back to see See who is so bold, but the line of sight is blocked by the door.He left his footprints on the door fiercely, and left angrily.Ye Zhimin vowed in his heart: If I know who ruined my good deed, she will pay the price.

"Meng Qing? Or Ai Jing?"

"In the past, when you saw me, you would definitely think that I was Meng Qing. Why are you so calm now?" Ai Jing was the agile person just now.Really chivalrous. "Could it be that Ye Zhimin has washed your heart for you? Do you think she is the most important?"

"Ai Jing, pay attention to your identity."

"I should be the one who said this. Cuddling with the secretary in the office, is this what a president of a multinational group should do? Mr. Yu, when have you paid attention to your identity? You haven't divorced yet." Like It's the elders, Ai Jing taught Yuzhe a lesson, it seems that she is going all out.

"It's working hours now, so Assistant Ai's leaving his post right now."

Ai Jing took the work card from her chest and placed it in front of Yu Zhe. "You can fire me. But before I leave, I have a few words to tell you. Fortunately, Mengqing is gone, otherwise I will definitely think that she is the number one idiot. Facts speak louder than words, but I still believe in you I didn’t do anything to offend Mengqing, and I’m still looking for Mengqing everywhere for you. Now I’m finally awake. You’re a wolf in sheep’s clothing, not as good as a beast. Don’t look around in the fake orangutan land. You should be very grateful for Mengqing Leave, so that you can be with Ye Zhimin in an open and aboveboard manner." Ai Jing couldn't get enough of the scolding, picked up the book on the table and wanted to throw it at Yu Zhe.There was a pause. "Forget it, I will let you go because you look so similar to the person in my heart. Also, I will continue to look for Mengqing, and if I find her, I will let her divorce you. Goodbye."

Ai Jing closed the door very loudly, and the sound alarmed the whole group. Everyone thought it was an earthquake.

"Damn Mengqing, where are you? Quickly answer the phone." Holding the phone and listening to the ring tone on the phone, Ai Jing felt a burst of joy, and she finally turned on the phone.The bell rang again and again, but no one answered, and Ai Jing was so anxious that she really wanted to drop the phone.

She wanted to try her luck, and started looking for An Mengqing among the crowd. It had to be said that it was like finding a needle in a haystack.But when they were looking for a needle in a haystack, they actually met.It's a pity that her left hand touched An Mengqing's right hand, but the two were looking in opposite directions. It's normal to bump into other people's hands on the street, and they didn't care. This lack of care made them miss the opportunity .

"Yu...Yu Zhe? Why are you here?" As soon as she opened the door, Mother An saw Yu Zhe.

"Mom." After tidying himself up a bit, Yu Zhe, who had returned to his original state, was still quite energetic. "Is Mengqing here?"

An's mother knew the purpose of Yuzhe's visit this time, and also remembered what An Mengqing had told them, but An's mother pretended not to know. "Isn't Mengqing with you? She hasn't come back for a long time."

"Mom, to tell you the truth, we had some conflicts, and I've been looking for her for several days. I didn't want to disturb you, but I really can't help it. If you see her, please tell me."

Mother Ann closed the door for some reason.Yuzhe stood outside the door and sighed, he could understand Mama An's mood.Weakly Yu Zhe left.At the entrance of the stairs in the community, Yuzhe turned to the left, and An Mengqing was to the right. As soon as the two entered and exited, they just passed each other by fate.

"Mom?" An Mengqing was about to ring the doorbell when Mother An opened the door. Such a coincidence really scared An Mengqing. "Our mother and daughter's telepathy is so strong. You knew I was back before I rang the doorbell." An Mengqing smiled, not noticing that her mother was unusual.

"Yu Zhe just came here." Mother An said the moment An Mengqing was about to enter the door.After hearing what her mother said, An Mengqing's smile froze on her face. "He said he had been looking for you for a long time, but he couldn't find you. He looked haggard, not like the majestic, unrestrained and handsome Yu Zhe before. I almost couldn't help but tell him."

"When did he leave?"

"Just left. Haven't you met? Meng Qing..."

An Mengqing rushed out of the gate, came to the gate of the community, looked left and right, but did not see Yu Zhe's figure, regardless of so many, An Mengqing ran towards the direction of Yu's Group.

The wind ruffled her hair, and the wind made a "whoosh" sound in her ears.She kept running, thinking about what her mother said in her mind: He said he had been looking for you for a long time, but he couldn't find you.His appearance became haggard, not like the majestic and handsome Yuzhe before... Yuzhe, how could this be?How can you make yourself so haggard?Don't you know that my heart aches when I see you like this?Yuzhe...

Running all the way, panting, she came to the gate of Yu's Group, standing under the big tree on the side of the road, An Mengqing was hesitating, should she go in?While hesitating, a silver-white Lamborghini with the license plate number 66666 stopped in front of Yu's Group.

is it you?Yu Zhe.

Looking at the familiar license plate number and the familiar sports car, An Mengqing clenched her hands nervously. The person in the car was sitting in the driver's seat, the cigarette in his hand was still on. Looking from a distance, he really changed a lot.

came out, the person in the driver's seat got out of the car, it was him, it was Yu Zhe.The person An Mengqing misses day and night.Unexpectedly, seeing Yu Zhe again, An Mengqing was not as strong as imagined.She tightly covered her mouth with her left hand, she was afraid that she could not help crying out.Holding the big tree with her right hand, she was afraid that if she couldn't control herself, she would rush up and put her arms around him.She lowered her head and cried silently, she was afraid that others would see her crying.

I was crying behind the big tree, when suddenly I stretched out a hand and patted An Mengqing's shoulder.Reflexively, An Mengqing turned around. "Who?"
