Chapter 18
Zheng Xi saw Shen Feng's driver in the lobby.
He notified, and the driver went in in surprise.He walked outside the gate, and a burst of water vapor came along with the sound of the rainstorm hitting the ground, only then did he realize that it was raining heavily outside.
It has been raining for an unknown amount of time, and no pedestrians can be seen on the road. The headlights of passing cars emit dazzling halos, reflecting a flickering rain curtain.
He didn't bring an umbrella, and there was no taxi parked at the door.The doorman asked him if he needed a cab, and he didn't want to wait any longer, so he rushed out into the rain and headed home.
The bean-heavy rain quickly drenched him completely, and also extinguished the restlessness in his heart.He ran for a while, and found that the phone in his trouser pocket was ringing.He took it out and saw that the caller was Zheng Xueqing.
When seeing this name, Zheng Xi's eyebrows were knitted together again.
He ran towards a nearby convenience store and picked up the phone under the eaves.
Zheng Xueqing's voice was full of worry, and she asked him where he was now and if he should ask the driver to pick him up.
The irritability came back again, Zheng Xi coldly said no, and hung up the phone without giving Zheng Xueqing a chance to speak again.
Instead of going into the convenience store to buy an umbrella, he plunged into the rain again.It's just that he didn't run this time, he walked slowly, despite the cold rain, hoping to wash away the boredom and fatigue all over his body.
From time to time, a car flew by, splashing rain on his black sweatpants.But he was already drenched, so he didn't care at all.In the past, he often got caught in the rain accidentally because of photography, but in order to protect the equipment, he almost never got wet like he is now.
In fact, rain can really calm people down.
Zheng Xi thought about what Shen Feng said just now, and organized his thoughts.What is known so far is that he and Zheng Lei were both injured after the car accident. He was sent to the United States by Zheng Xueqing and never came back since then, and Zheng Lei married Shen Feng less than half a year later.As for the reason for getting married, he guessed that Zheng Lei loved Shen Feng, so in order to achieve this goal, he colluded with Zheng Xueqing to deceive Shen Feng and lie to him that he was dead.
Shen Feng didn't explain this point, in fact, he didn't give Shen Feng a chance to explain at that time.
Shen Feng's face appeared in front of Zheng Xi's eyes. Although he couldn't remember the past of the two, even an outsider could see how painful and regretful Shen Feng was just now.
He didn't know what he was thinking at that time, he only knew that there was an unspeakable anger in his heart, and he didn't want to hear Shen Feng's explanation.Just like the flaw he exposed mercilessly, he knew that this accusation was meaningless.But he just couldn't figure it out, if Shen Feng's feelings for him were so deep back then, why did he accept his death so easily?
Zheng Xi took a deep breath, and a drop of water from the tip of his nose rushed into his chest cavity.He couldn't help coughing, only to realize that his hands and feet were cold, he had stayed in the rain for too long.
He didn't try to be brave again, and stopped a car to go home as soon as possible.
Zheng Xueqing was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a book. When Zheng Xi came back, it was like a leaking water bag, dripping water all the way.Zheng Xueqing was so distressed that she blamed her and asked him to take a bath. He was too cold to speak, and stayed in the bathroom for more than an hour before coming out.
The housekeeper had already made ginger tea for him, and he drank it all in one go, and sat opposite Zheng Xueqing.
Zheng Xueqing saw that he looked bad, and asked him if something happened.
He drank and got wet in the rain, and now he was so tired that he just wanted to sleep, but he still managed to pull himself together.Although uncovering this lie will put him in an embarrassing situation in this family, he doesn't want to be kept in the dark anymore: "I already know that you and Zheng Lei lied to Shen Feng that I was dead, and I also know that you did this The reason. Grandpa, will you continue to hide it from me? "
Just as he expected, Zheng Xueqing froze, the hand holding the book shook, and the heavy "Eighteen Dynasties" fell to the ground with a "bang".
Zheng Xi bent down to pick it up, smoothed the folds on it, put it on the table, and sat back on the sofa: "I don't have any memories of that year, maybe I really did something that made you unacceptable, but you shouldn't be with me." Zheng Lei did such a ridiculous thing. Did you never think that there would be a day when it would be exposed? Or is it that Zheng Lei is more important than me, in order to satisfy her, you can send me away, and even create the illusion of my death in front of others. "
Zheng Xi said calmly.It was clearly a condemnation, but the voice was flat and without any ups and downs.Zheng Xueqing took off her glasses tremblingly, and the old voice rushed out from the depths of her throat, trembling in panic: "No, it's not what you think. It's not..."
Zheng Xi didn't say anything, he seemed to feel cold, so he pulled the goose down blanket over his body.Beside him was a floor warm lamp, the beige light shone on his face, but it didn't warm his pale complexion.He looked at Zheng Xueqing, with a cold light in his eyes, like a gurgling stream in the forest, reflecting a lonely shadow of depression.
Zheng Xueqing had never seen such a strange sight from Zheng Xi.He didn't know what Shen Feng said to Zheng Xi, but he subconsciously wanted to deny it.Shen Feng had already caused him to lose his granddaughter, and he couldn't even lose his only grandson.
"I don't know what nonsense Shen Feng is talking to you! Xiaoxi, don't forget that he is your brother-in-law. Their wedding was witnessed by the relatives of both parties! Now that your sister has passed away, Shen Feng..."
"Grandpa, I'm only asking this time. If you don't tell me now, I won't come back to this house again, and I won't see you again." Zheng Xi interrupted Zheng Xueqing's explanation, even though he spoke ruthlessly. When it came to Jue, his tone was still calm and calm, and there was no trace of joy or anger in his expression.
The hot bath and ginger tea just now didn't seem to pull him back from the spring rain, and his body was still chilled to the bone.
Zheng Xueqing clenched her teeth, two criss-crossed veins on her temples, together with the folds at the end of her eyes, set off her kind face much more ferociously.
Zheng Xi sighed very lightly, pulled the blanket on his shoulders, and sank into the sofa as if all the strength had been pulled from his body.He closed his eyes, no blood was visible on his fair face, his expression was as serene as a snowman that had been piled up, without a trace of life.
Zheng Xueqing looked at his exposed feet, which were whiter than his face, when Zheng Xueqing reached out to touch them, he flinched subconsciously.
The coolness of his feet still remained on the fingertips, but when he met his reopened eyes, he was so panicked that his breath stopped.Zheng Xueqing looked at Zheng Xi helplessly, for some reason, he suddenly had the illusion that Zheng Xi was moving away from him.
Zheng Xi stood up and stepped on the marble floor with bare feet. He didn't seem to feel the cold anymore, and even threw the blanket on the sofa: "I understand."
He only left these words and went upstairs. Zheng Xueqing stood up tremblingly, and he didn't look back after calling several times. It was not until the door was closed on the second floor that Zheng Xueqing fell back on the sofa, covering her eyes in pain. .
The butler came forward after deliberation: "Master, actually, I think just now is the best time to confess to the young master. You can't hide it from him for the rest of your life. Instead of being resented by him, why don't you let him understand your painstaking efforts? If it weren't for you back then Send him to the United States, God knows if the eldest lady will continue to do even more insane things."
Zheng Xueqing buried her face in her palms, her shoulders kept shaking.Normally, he is a straight-backed, broad-minded and elegant scholar in everyone's eyes, but now he looks like a helpless and thin old man.The housekeeper didn't wait for his answer, so he could only look in the direction of the second floor, and sighed helplessly in his heart.
Zheng Xi closed the door, but did not go to the bed.He slid to the ground by the door, with his head down, staring at the dark red floor under his feet in a daze.His mind was blank, but Zheng Xueqing's face appeared in front of his eyes.
He was pushed to such an extent that Zheng Xueqing still refused to tell him a word.
He was really tired. When he came back this time, it was as if someone had dismantled the Great Wall that had been rebuilt in the past three years, and was pushed back to the time when the car accident just happened.
The missing memory of that year would not have affected him anymore, but now it entangled him tightly like a vine, and the more he resisted, the more he felt suffocated.
He no longer knew how to face Shen Feng and Zheng Xueqing.
He got up, found his phone, clicked on the ticket booking app, and booked a ticket to JFK Airport as soon as possible.Then pull the suitcase out of the closet and start organizing.
The air ticket is tomorrow night, and after finishing his luggage, he still has time to see Lin He.
What Zheng Xueqing didn't want to tell him, maybe he could get a glimpse of it from Lin He's mouth.
Zheng Xi packed his luggage expressionlessly, because he didn't plan to come back, so he opened all the drawers of the cabinets, looking for things to take away.While he was tidying up, the phone rang more than once, but he didn't want to look at it at all.
After cleaning up, he glanced at the clock on the wall, it was already past five o'clock in the morning.
He slumped on the bed, wondering if he was too tired, the scene in front of him suddenly shifted a bit.He hurriedly supported the edge of the bed, patted his head vigorously, and after a while, his vision became clear again.He breathed a sigh of relief, wondering if there was anything he forgot to bring, but when he saw a stack of documents on the table, he remembered Matthew.
Matthew said the report would not come out until the day after tomorrow, but he was leaving tomorrow night.He thought about taking time to see Matthew tomorrow to see if he could get the report in advance.
Thinking of this, he finally picked up the phone on the table and clicked on missed calls and messages.
The number of the call was a bit messy, there were two groups of unfamiliar numbers who called him several times, but there was no Shen Feng's.
Zheng Xi clicked on the message again and found that an unfamiliar number had sent him several messages.The content was very similar, they both informed him that Shen Feng had a high fever and developed pneumonia and was admitted to the hospital, and the signature at the end was Shen Qian.
His face turned ugly instantly, and with trembling fingers, he clicked on a message from another number.
The message came from more than an hour ago, and the content was: [Zheng Xi, I am Jin Jing, Shen Feng's secretary.I already know what happened between you, if you want to know the truth then come to the hospital, I will tell you. 】
He notified, and the driver went in in surprise.He walked outside the gate, and a burst of water vapor came along with the sound of the rainstorm hitting the ground, only then did he realize that it was raining heavily outside.
