It was a stunning face. Yes, there were no scars as she thought, and it was not ugly at all. Apart from the firmer lines, it was almost the same as it was three years ago.
"Why did you lie to me?" Lu Xining's eyes were filled with tears unknowingly.
Jin Shaoheng wanted to say something, but his lips just moved, but nothing came out.
"Obviously I have asked you many times, obviously..." She asked him yesterday, but how did he answer?
He said: If she wants, she can think of him as Jin Shaoheng.
Listen!
If she wanted to...
It was obvious that she was close to recognizing him several times, but he repeatedly misled her and watched her doubt and struggle with herself over and over again.
Jin Shaoheng watched helplessly as tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes one by one, and her beautiful face suddenly became watery.
"Xining." He subconsciously wanted to help her wipe away her tears.
But she suddenly reacted violently and asked: "Why?"
Why did he trick her into dying when he was clearly still alive? Why did he use another identity to get close to her again?
Seeing how uncomfortable she was, Jin Shaoheng felt even more painful. He closed his eyes and forced himself to use the coldest voice and said, "Because our child is dead, I don't know how to explain to you."
When Lu Xining heard the words "the child is dead" again, he felt dizzy and almost lost his balance.
Jin Shaoheng supported her body.
This time, Lu Xining couldn't care less about being angry, but unconsciously tightened his sleeves and asked, "You lied to me again, right?"
She stared at him intently, trying to see even a hint of the expression she wanted to see on his unobstructed face.
She was telling herself that he was lying to her, and that she was telling Gu Yuzhi, but when he mentioned the child's early death, it didn't look like he was pretending.
Jin Shaoheng didn't want to mention it. Every time he mentioned it, it was like tearing the scarred wound open again.
He has been experiencing that kind of pain over and over again for three years.
"Xining, I'm sorry-" Before she could finish her apology, she received a firm slap on the face.
"It's fake, it's all fake, you lied to me again." Lu Xining obviously still couldn't accept the reality.
"Xining..."
"Jin Shaoheng, I have never seen a more despicable person than you." Lu Xining's heart had been repeatedly tortured by the child's life and death, and was riddled with holes.
She looked at Jin Shaoheng and asked again: "Seeing me sad again and again, do you feel proud in your heart?"
"Of course not." Jin Shaoheng explained anxiously.
Lu Xining waited for him to say more, but he didn't.
In addition to his face full of guilt, many words were stuck in his throat, his mouth opened again and again, and finally nothing came out.
Lu Xining finally smiled in disappointment, and asked Jin Shaoheng: "Since you have lied, why don't you continue to lie?"
"You deliberately gave Jin Muxi this name, didn't you just want to mislead me?
If you lied to me and said that child was mine, I would definitely save him at all costs."
"Wouldn't it be more satisfying for you to see me fighting with Gu Yuzhi to death over an unrelated child?"
"Why don't you just keep lying." She spoke more and more, but every word was heartbreaking.
"Xining, I never thought of taking advantage of you." She completely misunderstood.
"Really? But you have never believed me. Otherwise, how could you have the heart not to tell me that you are Jin Shaoheng?"
It wasn't until this moment that Lu Xining figured it out.
She continued: "Liu Weijie said that you suspected that I and Gu Yuzhi killed you.
That's why you were so cold when we first met three years ago. You hated me, so you sent me to the police station directly.
Later, you deliberately humiliated me."
"No!" He was heartbroken at that time, but he didn't want to take revenge on her.
He originally thought that the two of them would never meet again, but he never thought that Jin Muxi would sneak out and meet her by accident.
Some people can just tolerate not seeing them, but they won't be able to control themselves once they meet.
He admitted that he had resentment towards her in his heart, but he hated himself even more for not letting go.
He couldn't do it himself, so he deliberately sent her to the police station and deliberately humiliated her. He wanted her to hate him and then avoid him.
Love is always so contradictory. When she treats him coldly, he worries about gains and losses, so he always tortures himself over and over again.
But he couldn't explain this clearly, and he didn't want to reveal it to her.
"Are you sure you want to keep arguing? I don't have much time." Gu Yuzhi's voice interrupted.
Regarding the fact that Jin Jue was Jin Shaoheng, he didn't show that much surprise. Instead, he was more concerned about the sadomasochistic love they were showing in front of him.
Lu Xining and Jin Shaoheng looked at him at the same time. The latter's eyes were heavy: "Put Jin Muxi down, and I will give you a way out."
Gu Yuzhi smiled when he heard this: "I don't care about a way out, I always want Xining."
"Dreaming!" This was Jin Shaoheng's answer.
"Jin Shaoheng, I heard that you are quite willing to let people make choices. How about you make a choice today?" Gu Yuzhi put his hands on the fence and leaned over to look at him: "Do you want Xining or your own son?"
"Are you deaf? I just said that the child was adopted by me and has no blood relationship with me." Jin Shaoheng deliberately looked indifferent.
"Tsk, when did Mr. Jin have such a good heart?" Obviously, Gu Yuzhi didn't believe it either.
"If you don't believe me, you can take a paternity test." Jin Shaoheng said.
"So you choose Xining?" He didn't have that much time.
Jin Shaoheng tightened his jawline and said nothing, but he did not loosen his hold on Lu Xining's hand. The answer was very obvious.
But this was not the result Gu Yuzhi wanted.
But when the two confront each other, the game is about psychology.
They looked at each other from a distance that was neither far nor close, both waiting for each other to reveal flaws.
For example, Gu Yuzhi panicked because the hostage in his hand was ineffective, or Jin Shaoheng showed nervousness.
But there were none.
Of course Gu Yuzhi couldn't spend any more time with him and said, "Okay, then I'll say goodbye."
"Do you think you can leave?" Jin Shaoheng asked.
"If I can't leave, I'll let this little baby be buried with me." Gu Yuzhi said and touched Jin Muxi's face.
He must have been given sedatives, and he seemed to be sleeping, very quiet.
Gu Yuzhi finally pinched his neck. He was too weak, as if he would break his neck with just a little force.
"No!" Lu Xining looked frightened.
She subconsciously wanted to go over, but her wrist was grabbed by Jin Shaoheng.
"Let go." Lu Xining scolded.
"Please wake up, that's not your child." Jin Shaoheng reminded, looking so indifferent.
Lu Xining looked at him, obviously not believing it, or in other words, deep down in her heart, she still had a glimmer of hope.
"I'm not lying to you. The child died that night after the failed operation. I really picked up Jin Muxi in the hospital.
He was the same age as our child and was abandoned on a chair in the hall. He cried very much like our child, so I felt compassion."
Jin Shaoheng looked into her eyes and said this word by word, and every word he spat out was like gouging out his heart.
Lu Xining smiled, but his eyes were full of misery.
She said: "Since you adopted him, how can you bear to let him be implicated?"
Jin Shaoheng said nothing.
He naturally has feelings for Jin Muxi, and he has been the one who has numbed his emotional sustenance in these years.
Raised as a biological son, why not worry?
But he couldn't exchange it with Lu Xining, he had his own weight in mind.
"Gu Yuzhi won't hurt me, but he won't treat Jin Muxi kindly. He's too young to be frightened, not to mention his poor health."
She really likes Jin Muxi, or she may have the same empathy as Jin Shaoheng, so she cannot just watch him fall into danger and ignore him.
What's more, the innocent child was originally affected by their grudges.
"What are you going to do?" Jin Shaoheng understood what she meant, so he was flustered.
Lu Xining stopped talking and tried to brush off the hand he was holding on her.
"Lu Xining, you can't." He grabbed her wrist tightly and refused to let go, fearing that she would not listen to him.
"Jin Shaoheng, have you forgotten that I betrayed you three years ago?" Lu Xining said deliberately.
His body stiffened for a moment, but he still cared.
Lu Xining took the opportunity to get rid of him and walked quickly to the side of the boat.
"Lu Xining."
When he reacted, Gu Yuzhi's people had already stopped him and quickly surrounded him.
