Chu Di turned off the car and looked into the villa. The begonia flowers were blooming in the courtyard, and they were red and reflected in the sunset. It was a joyful scene. Through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, he could see Ye Nan in the kitchen.
While talking to Aunt Zhang, Aunt Zhang picked him up, carried him to the sink, and washed his hands. The child raised his head slightly with an innocent smile on his face.
This is the life he wants, the life he has always dreamed of. It is the light and shadow of his youth that often appears in his dreams.
For him, the definition of home is not only a luxury house and a car, but more importantly, a family. It has a warm atmosphere. During dinner, everyone talks and laughs, and discusses the interesting things that happened during the day, not across the long redwood tree.
At the table, everyone eats like chewing meat.
Chu's mother was once his family, his only family, but as the years went by, he found that his family member who should have been the closest to him had changed beyond recognition. She was no longer like the gentle mother in his memory.
Rather, he is more like a general and a strict mentor.
However, this stubborn little woman sitting next to him, who refused to cry in front of him even when she was hurt, who would rather grit her teeth and fight it off than ask him for help when encountering any difficult situation, actually
Immersed into his life bit by bit.
She is like a cluster of flames, igniting his dark life. She laughs and curses, so real and so vivid. She is a major color in his life, red, orange, yellow and green, the most beautiful color in his life.
.
She even created another relative for him.
A new life that he never wanted. She took good care of their children during the days when he was supposed to protect them, but he didn't show up.
She did not love him any less because he had half the blood of those she hated in his veins. She gave this child everything she had and held nothing back.
In the end, you will always understand who is hypocritical, who is sincere, and who is risking everything for you.
Maybe they didn't even notice it. He wanted to protect her and Ye Nan. He wanted to pay back everything he owed them. Maybe it would take a long, long time, but as long as he lived for one day, he would complete it.
this matter.
He wanted to protect them, even if he had to bear everything, he would not let them suffer any more injustice. He wanted to give them the best things in the world.
They are his relatives, his sons, and the woman he loves...
"Go in, Aunt Zhang has already prepared the meal, don't let them wait too long." Chu Di withdrew his gaze and opened the car door.
Lin Xiangwan didn't get the answer she wanted. She grabbed his arm reluctantly and continued to ask, "Is it you?"
Chu Di was silent for a few seconds and then replied, "Go and eat first. I'll tell you after we finish eating."
During the meal, Ye Nan kept chattering to Aunt Zhang about interesting things about their fishing today, which made the atmosphere less weird. In fact, Lin Xiangwan and Chu Di did not speak. They each had their own thoughts and thoughts after the meal.
The conversation to be held was uneasy.
After finally staying up until the end of dinner, Ye Nan still wanted to watch TV for a while. Lin Xiangwan rarely made an appointment with him to watch TV. She just asked Aunt Zhang not to go to bed too late, and then went in with Chu Di.
his office.
The office is very simply decorated, with nothing else except a large desk and chair.
The entire room is covered with dark brown wallpaper, giving people an inexplicable sense of pressure.
Lin Xiangwan stood in front of Chu Di, took a deep breath, and said to him, "Let's talk."
Chu Di smiled and did not answer. Instead, he bent down and took out a stack of documents from his desk and placed them in front of Lin Xiangwan. "You take a look at this first. We will talk about it after you finish reading it."
Lin Xiangwan turned on the desk lamp, and under the warm yellow light, those clear and accurate legal clauses became softer. Lin Xiangwan read two pages and suddenly raised his head, "What is this?!"
"This can be said to be a guarantee. It can also be said to be my will." Chu Di crossed his fingers and replied with a smile, "From now on, you can hope that I die, because if I die, you will
Get 80% of my property, which includes company shares, my savings, and some of my private properties and overseas properties. Of course, the money will not be paid to you in one lump sum, because in that case, for you,
It's too dangerous. There will be many people coveting this property and causing trouble for you. But you can't worry. I have already made arrangements and the money will be given to you in installments. After my people have properly settled you,
The money will be remitted to the account I opened for you in Switzerland. You can think about it now, which country is better to go to in the future. I don’t recommend the United Kingdom or the United States because there are too many people and the security is not very good. I personally think Italy
Very good, when you were in Chicago, didn't you also make some friends from the Italian Mafia? With their help, you and Ye Nan will live very well there."
Chu Di is not a person who likes long speeches, so saying so many words at once made him slightly uncomfortable. It was like a sudden confession, and he even felt a little embarrassed.
But compared to his discomfort, Lin Xiangwan's mind went blank. She didn't expect that he would give her such a thing.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that he would leave nearly all of his property to her.
"Why?" Lin Xiangwan was not frightened by this huge wealth, she was frightened by Chu Di's sudden generosity. Even if she saw these documents written in black and white, she still couldn't believe it.
"Why? Why do you always like to ask me why? Because I want you to live a better life, because I want you to stop running for a living even without me, because I think our children can just do
What he likes to do, and there is no need to work for money, because I feel that I owe you, because I want to make it up to you, because I feel that the person I owe the most in this life is you, and I am afraid that I will not be able to pay back what I owe you.
Debt, so I have to give you money in a vulgar way. Because this is the only thing I have that I can still get rid of, maybe also because..." He stood up, looked straight at Lin Xiangwan, took a deep breath, as if
He mustered up all his courage and continued, "Maybe it's because... I love you."
Lin Xiangwan's eyes widened. She never expected to hear these three words from this man's mouth.
These three words Chu Di said to her were like a bolt from the blue to her, 2012.
She wanted to laugh, she wanted to laugh loudly, she wanted to laugh and say to him, are you crazy? What did you say? You said you love me? You said you love her to your enemy's daughter? Are you really Chu Di?
Well? Is your brain broken? How could you say such disgusting words? Don't you think you are ridiculous and disgusting?
She didn't believe in love, and she never believed in love again after meeting him. He destroyed all her yearning for love, but now, he said that he loved her.
Lin Xiangwan couldn't say anything. She opened her mouth and felt a strange, sour feeling welling up from inside her body. The feeling was like a vine growing in the wind, following her.
The limbs and bones were all the way up to her eyes.
"Why me...you want to make up for it...you can give it to Ye Nan...why give it to me? You know Ji Moli's child...is not your biological child...the person who changed the information in the hospital...is also you?
"Everything was connected in series, and Lin Xiangwan suddenly realized that the secret of the Chu family's unreliability that she thought she had was actually under his control.
He did all this.
But why did he do all this?
Why did he let a child who didn't belong to him live in Chu's house? Why did he let everyone think that the child was his biological flesh and blood? Why would he rather endure the green hair on his head than report on Ji Moli?
"You really don't know why?" Chu Di gently touched Lin Xiangwan's hand, pulled her dumbfounded to a brightly lit place, and helped her untie the gauze layer by layer, "Ji Moli didn't
She is not a woman who is content with her family. Do you think I don’t know what she has done behind my back all these years? But I haven’t touched her, not because I dare not touch her, but because I need her to stay there.
."
"My mother is old. She wants an heir to reassure her. If there is no Chu Hao, then she will focus all her attention on Ye Nan and you. What I do is just give her
One she wants. In this case, she can let you go and you can be safe. And the final ownership of the Chu family's property is still under my control. I will not leave the money to Ye Nan but to you, too.
Afraid that he will get involved in this war, he is still a child, he can't handle these things, and you..."
The gauze was opened layer by layer, and her wound was exposed to his sight. From the bloody wound, blood was still gurgling out. Chu Di lowered his head and used his tongue to eat Lin Xiangwan bit by bit.
"You are the woman I chose. You are stronger than ordinary women. From the first time I saw you, I knew you were stronger than them all. Even if there are many enemies, you can still take care of yourself and Ye Nan."
It's very good. I don't have to worry too much about what kind of trouble this outstanding wealth will bring to you. You will survive the most difficult days and live better than others."
Chu Di smiled, and his lips turned bright red because they were stained with her blood. Lin Xiangwan suddenly felt scared, she couldn't stop trembling, and her palms trembled like spasms.
No...it's not like that...she is not as good as he said. She will be afraid, shrink, and cowardly. If it weren't for Ye Nan, she wouldn't have been able to survive the first years in the United States. If it weren't for Ye Nan...
