old enemy riding a bamboo horse

if that day

Say what you should say

Lu Henglin watched helplessly as Xia Chengqi walked up to Secretary Xie and stood there obediently. Secretary Xie gently stroked his hair with a well-maintained finger wearing a diamond ring.

"I wanted to take care of you by myself, but I was too busy. You saw that in the past six months, I spent too little time at home, so you are too lonely. You and Heng Lin, are you getting along well?" Xie The secretary looked at Lu Henglin with an adult smile, but he suspected that there was childish mockery of him in that smile, contempt for his credulity, and pride in victory.

Lu Henglin felt that his mind was blank, and he didn't know which incident made his heart hurt more. He felt that if he didn't do anything else, his heart would burst.

He turned away and was caught up by his father, who accused him of being rude in the bedroom.

He had a bitter argument with his father that day.

When he was so angry that he almost lost his mind, his father once again made a solemn promise to him that no second child would threaten his status.

"I told you a long time ago that you will be my only heir. Aunt Xie and I have signed a prenuptial agreement. In order to make up for her, I promise her that I can adopt a child. You are not young, you should be more sensible, thank you Auntie thought about you, and even chose a child of your age when adopting, why can't you let go of your prejudices and accept her?"

For a moment, Lu Henglin's mind was blank, and gradually he felt the smell of blood in his throat.

"You said Xiao Qi..."

"That's right. Xia Chengqi is the child she chose. She originally wanted to take care of Xiaoqi by herself, but she felt that you were too lonely, so she sent Xiaoqi to be with you. You see, you get along very well, don't you? She didn't Not the kind of woman you imagined. She thought of you a lot when communicating with me. It is true that Dad spends too little time with you, but this is also my helplessness. Aunt Xie cares about you very much. She reminded me If you lack companionship, your growth process will not be healthy enough. She even considered this and chose to adopt Xia Chengqi. She completed the procedures last year. Before Xia Chengqi saw you, she had been teaching him. I hope you can be more Good communication, mutual guidance, mutual companionship. Heng Lin, I hope you can think maturely. Look at these."

Even though he already understood a little bit, when the truth was told, it still hurt him deeply.

Lu Henglin took a deep breath until his chest was aching, his mind was half burning and half cold, and something in his heart was breaking apart little by little.

"She's really thoughtful." Lu Henglin smiled indifferently and full of sarcasm.

Step by step from the secretary to the president's wife, I knew that I couldn't accept it easily, and I also saw through my loneliness and need to be accompanied. Even the adopted son carefully taught him to hide his identity, came to me, and pretended to be gentle and tolerant to win me The goodwill, just like this, conquers everyone little by little.

"Henglin, do you have to speak in this tone? I thought you had changed under the influence of Xia Chengqi during this period. Aunt Sun also told me that you have become happier than before, and you are more considerate than before. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Every word my father said sharply pointed out his stupidity and ridiculousness.

Lu Henglin felt that his whole chest was hurting, which made him unable to think carefully. He suppressed and said fiercely, "Okay? What's so good about it? Look at me being coaxed into acting like a fool by your elaborate deception. To be meek and docile as she wishes? Each of these false things makes me sick."

"Lu Henglin, pay attention to your wording." Lu Chengnian has been in a high position for too long, even if he is his own son, he can't tolerate his repeated disobedience.

"I won't be the kind of son you want. I don't need to be your sole heir. If you want, Secretary Xie will give you a son who meets your requirements and obeys his teachings." Lu Henglin stared at his own Father, "That's all you see, but I don't care at all. You can marry whoever you want, and whoever you want to be your heir is up to you. I don't care."

Lu Henglin kicked open the bedroom door, walked to the stairs, and saw Xia Chengqi sitting next to Xie Qing in the living room, listening to what she had to say with his head down.

Secretary Xie, as always, has exquisite makeup, decent manners, and a smile when speaking.

Lu Chengnian was even angrier than Lu Henglin, passed him and went downstairs, said a few words to Xie Qing, and then left.

Before leaving, Xie Qing patted Xia Chengqi on the shoulder, and smiled very gently at him.

Should be very satisfied, right?Lu Henglin thought viciously, the adopted son made him foolishly pour out his heart and lungs without any effort, it deserves all her praise, and promised a good life and a prosperous future in the future.

Then he saw Xia Chengqi looking up at him.

The sunlight in the living room was very good that day, and when it shone on him, there was still a halo inlaid on him, making him look out of the world, with quiet eyes, like an angel who has nothing to do with the world.

But Lu Henglin's eyes seemed to be foggy, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.

Is it lost, or proud?

Lu Henglin walked down step by step, stood still in front of him, and sighed, but he laughed out loud, "During this time, you have had a hard time holding back your laughter, right? Look at me being coaxed around by you, Look at me like a fool? Huh?"

Xia Chengqi has no expression, he is so good-looking, and even when he is expressionless, he looks gentle and doesn't look sharp.

"Heng Lin." He paused, "That's not the case."

"Still pretending?" Lu Henglin smiled contemptuously, "How did Secretary Xie teach you?"

"Can you listen to me first?" Xia Chengqi rarely raised his voice like this, almost sternly.

"Are you fucking reasonable?" Lu Henglin was irritated, this was the first time he was rude in front of Xia Chengqi.

He took a deep breath, stared closely at Xia Chengqi's eyes, and said with some hopelessness, "At this point, tell me the truth, Xia Chengqi, if you still want to lie to me at this time, then there is no need for us to go any further." Say a word."

He paused for a moment, trying to calm himself down, and asked in a nonchalant tone, "Did you...did you conceal it on purpose? For ulterior purposes, did you deliberately not tell me that the person who adopted you was Secretary Xie? Yes or not? "

At the end, Lu Henglin felt that he could hardly hold back the choking of his voice.He thought, he must be too young and naive. At such a moment, he still has extravagant expectations and is still expecting a ridiculous answer.

Xia Chengqi also looked at him with sad eyes, pursed his lips, hesitated to speak, and then fell silent.

Lu Henglin smiled, "Thank you for your honesty, it is worth all my sincerity to you in the past, we are even."

He felt that his heart was terribly cold, the cold wind was hissing, and the chill was oozing from the cracks in his bones. His whole body was empty, and his complicated thoughts gradually settled in the park. He only felt desolate and ridiculous.

He thought he would roar angrily, question him angrily, and accuse him hysterically, but he didn't.As if he felt destined, he thought, and just accepted the result in this way, it turned out to be like this, a person who was so good and who met his expectations never existed, never had, this is the essence of life face.

For a moment, I feel a little relieved, what I will never have, will never be.

Xia Chengqi reached out to grab Lu Henglin's arm, and said calmly, "We need to talk." But his voice was also very dry, revealing a little uncertainty.

Lu Henglin quickly raised his hand, frowned and said disgustedly, "Don't touch me, don't say anything to make me sick of you even more."

Xia Chengqi closed his eyes for a while, and did not speak for a long time.

"What were you thinking at that time?" Lu Henglin suppressed all the bitterness under a sneer, he looked at Xia Chengqi, and asked sharply, "I'm lying on the sofa, as you wish, like a stupid weakling When you confessed the pain in your heart, what were you thinking? Did you think it was ridiculous? Look, this little fool was really fooled and told me everything easily. I can deceive him and fool him as much as I want, and soon He'll do what I say—"

"Shut up." Xia Chengqi whispered.

"He will be coaxed by me to accept my stepmother, and he will be at the mercy of the two of us. What a young master, he is just a poor bastard who has no brains and longs for love and care. One day he will become our puppet—" Lu Henglin fundamentally Ignore it, hurting yourself almost crazily, like a trapped beast in a trap, "When you opened your innocent eyes and said those words to me, didn't you feel disgusted? The dirty greed in your mind, It's really amazing."

Xia Chengqi always looked very calm, as if he had a natural armor that would never be stabbed, he stood there firmly, and calmly said again, "I said shut up."

"I'm going to shut up now, because I'm going to throw up if I look at your innocent face and say a few more words to you." Lu Henglin passed Xia Chengqi, slammed the door and left without looking back. go.
