After the breakup, the abstinent president got married and had three babies
Chapter 221 Damage
"Fourth brother..." Xia Ruoan called softly with a helpless look on his face.
Ouyang Jin pretended not to hear and continued to speak to himself, "What I said is absolutely correct. If Ruo'an dares to harm herself for a guy who neither likes her nor has the slightest pity for her, then I would rather break her legs and lock her up at home."
"After all, with my ability, I have enough financial resources to support her for the rest of her life, and I absolutely cannot tolerate her being harmed in the slightest by others."
"But, based on my understanding of Joan, I believe she would never do such a foolish thing. Because our Joan has always been a good girl with self-respect, self-love, and self-improvement!"
At the end of his speech, Ouyang Jin's eyes revealed a hint of pampering and pride.
"How can a person who can't even love himself have the right to expect others to love him? Do you really think you deserve to be loved?" Ouyang Jin said expressionlessly, his words as cold and biting as ice in winter.
At this moment, Ouyang Jin turned to look at Ouyang beside him, his eyes revealing a hint of urgency and urging: "Ouyang, time is running out, you should go and welcome the bride!"
"Leave this to me. I will make sure that she does not interfere with the smooth progress of your wedding." After saying that, Ouyang Jin reached out and took off the exquisite groomsmen's boutonniere on his chest and handed it to his eldest brother.
Ouyang Jin gently touched the blood on his face and shook his head helplessly: "Brother, please take my place as best man this time. I'm not in a good mood with my face covered in blood."
Seeing this, Mu Shen nodded and put on the best man's brooch.
Mu Shen took out a tube of ointment from his pocket and handed it to Xia Ruoan, while softly advising: "Ruoan, come and help your fourth brother treat the wound."
After taking the ointment, Xia Ruoan nodded obediently.
Ou Yong glanced at Qiao Xin.
"Qiao Xin, don't put your hopes on me anymore, and don't waste your time and energy on me anymore. I don't have any feelings for you that are between men and women."
"You should consider Zhao Han. He likes you. Maybe you will be much better off if you find someone who loves you." Ouyang didn't expect her to take over all at once, but that was all he said. It was up to her from now on.
Xia Ruoan's eyes followed the figure of Ouyang leading the groomsmen gradually away.
Mu Shen quickly pinned the groomsmen's brooch that Ouyang Jin had just handed to him on his lapel.
It has to be said that Mu Shen happened to be wearing the same black suit as the other groomsmen today, so it didn't seem out of place at all.
Looking at Qiao Xin squatting on the cold ground in front of me, I saw that she was curled up like a wounded little animal, and was surprisingly quiet.
That look made people feel pity for her, so much so that the people around her were silent for a moment, afraid that making a sound would disturb her fragile heart.
Xia Ruoan was also full of worries at this time. Facing Qiao Xin in such a state, she really didn't know how to start.
After all, Fourth Brother had said everything he needed to say, but Qiao Xin remained unmoved.
And to be honest, Xia Ruoan herself really couldn't do what Qiao Xin did and humiliate herself for someone who didn't love her.
Because in her opinion, she only cares about those who truly care and love her. She can't even muster the slightest bit of affection for those who don't care about her or even deliberately hurt her.
Thinking of this, Xia Ruoan really couldn't understand why Qiao Xin chose to deal with this relationship in such an extreme way as suicide.
So, she took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and whispered to Qiao Xin, "Senior Qiao, you still have family who love you! Think about it, you've only known Senior Brother Ouyang for seven short years, but your family has spent a full twenty-seven springs, summers, autumns, and winters accompanying you as you grew up. They've always loved and cared for you."
"Does your act of wanting to commit suicide just now really deserve the respect of those who have been silently guarding you?"
Having said that, Xia Ruoan paused, his eyes fixed on Qiao Xin's pale face, and continued to persuade her earnestly: "I understand that you have too many grievances in your heart and have nowhere to confide them, but matters of the heart are often so cruel."
"Just because you're in love with someone doesn't mean they'll reciprocate. You're now practically crazy. You're no longer the gentle, generous, rational, and strong-willed senior I once knew!"
"I don't want to be like this, but my love for Ouyang has penetrated deep into my bones and I can't help myself at all!"
"Why are you all telling me to give up? I've already made my stance clear. I said I'm willing to wait until the day he accepts me."
"However, no matter how devotedly I waited for him, he was never willing to give me even the slightest chance, and even pushed me into the arms of others." Qiao Xin murmured softly, tears silently flowing.
Unlike her previous heart-wrenching, wailing cries, this time she just shed tears quietly, but the sadness in her heart did not diminish at all, but became even heavier and more depressing.
Seeing this, Xia Ruoan felt heartbroken and instinctively took a step forward, wanting to extend his arms to comfort the heartbroken girl.
At this moment, Leng Zexi, who was standing by, was quick to move and grabbed Xia Ruoan, gently shaking his head to signal her not to act impulsively.
Although her heart was filled with worry and reluctance, Xia Ruoan still did not follow Leng Zexi's advice.
After a moment's hesitation, Xia Ruoan couldn't contain her concern and resolutely stepped forward, hugged Qiao Xin tightly, and said softly, "Senior sister, actually what Senior Brother Ouyang said makes sense."
"In all of our eyes, you are very good. We all sincerely hope that you can meet someone who truly holds you in his hands, cherishes you, and regards you as the only one in his life."
"It's definitely not like what you're doing now, where you've become a dispensable substitute. With your pride and self-respect, are you willing to play such a humble and pitiful role?"
"Have you ever seriously thought about this question? Even though Sister Ling'er has passed away, Senior Brother Ouyang still has many of Sister Ling'er's belongings around him, including her photos, things she used, and so on."
"All of this seems to be telling you that Sister Ling'er has never truly left. Perhaps in Senior Brother Ouyang's eyes, you are not even as good as these items. Are you really willing to accept this situation?"
"Besides, if Senior Brother Ouyang can let go of his feelings for Sister Ling'er so quickly, will you still be as devoted to him as before?"
"Aren't you worried that you'll be ruthlessly abandoned in the future? You know, a substitute is always just a substitute. No matter how similar it is, it can never replace the original. But you, on the other hand, are one-of-a-kind in this world!"
"I don't expect you to completely let go of your feelings for my brother in an instant, but how about trying to let it go slowly? At least don't hurt yourself without mercy like you did today." After saying that, Xia Ruoan gently released his hand from hers.
He took the ointment and handkerchief from Leng Zexi, carefully wiped the blood off her hands, and gently applied the ointment on her.
In fact, the wound on her hand was not big. Even if she didn't apply ointment, it would heal naturally in two days.
However, what is horrifying is the scar next to the wound.
It's obvious at a glance that these injuries were inflicted recently. If they had gotten even slightly worse, they would have been truly life-threatening.
"Sister, let's go home!" Qiao Yu carefully supported Qiao Xin and walked back. He was secretly glad that he could take her away from this place in time. He really didn't dare to delay any longer, for fear that she would be more stimulated if she continued to stay here.
"Ruoan, please convey my apology to my senior brother." Qiao Yu turned his head, looked at Xia Ruoan earnestly, and whispered.
Xia Ruoan nodded slightly, agreeing: "Don't worry, take good care of Senior Sister."
After Qiao Yu and Qiao Xin walked away, Ouyang slowly took out his mobile phone and checked the injury on his cheek on the screen.
Although the wound was not long, it was still quite shocking.
However, Ouyang didn't seem to care about this minor injury at the moment. Instead, he murmured to himself, "Why can't this wound be a little deeper? If it could disfigure me, then I'd have a legitimate reason not to find a partner."
As he spoke, he stretched out his fingers and gently stroked his face, his face full of regret.
The person who had been waiting by his side and protecting Ouyang at all times was speechless after hearing what he said.
After all, today's occasion is quite special, so only one person was arranged to guard Ouyang Jin.
Fortunately, this site and related security work are jointly responsible by the Li, Ou and Xia families. Under normal circumstances, there should not be any major danger.
Of course, the premise is that Ouyang Jin doesn't always try to show off.
Just like just now, if he hadn't rashly helped, he wouldn't have been injured at all.
But then again, if Ouyang Jin hadn't stepped forward, Qiao Xin might have really suffered an accidental injury.
Xia Ruoan was speechless when she heard his words.
"Fourth brother, if it weren't for the eldest brother just now, your eyes would have been injured, and it would not be just a disfigurement." Xia Ruoan said disapprovingly.
"Isn't it okay?" Ouyang Jin said indifferently.
"What's wrong with your senior sister? Is she really going to hang herself on Ouyang's tree? Ouyang is a good person, but he is more suitable to be her friend. If your senior sister really just wants to be with Ouyang, she should choose to be his friend instead of dreaming of being his wife."
