Chapter 8 (Eight)

Lei Jiazhen gradually regained consciousness, she felt sad for a while, unable to resist, she stepped back three steps. Her upbringing, her reason, and her intelligence finally came in handy at this moment. Her voice was so calm that she surprised herself, "You could have told me earlier." Zhu Lisheng replied confusedly: "Until this moment, I was not sure of my whereabouts." Lei Jiazhen turned his head to look at Suzy, "What about you?" "I will marry him." "So what about Zhu Qidong?" "He's my responsibility." Lei Jiazhenyue: "It seems that there is no one to check against the two of you."

They answered in unison: "Correct." Lei Jiazhen lowered her head, she saw the blood stains on the ground, and with an oops, she covered her chest and flanks, only she could see the blood, she staggered, and when she touched her nose, there was a stench, what is this purple flower called, it is so difficult Hearing this, it was unforgettable for the rest of my life, the Lei family was dizzy. Suzy wanted to go over and help her. Lei Jiazhen took a deep breath, turned his head, and walked out alone. Susie followed behind her and was held back by Zhu Lisheng. "Leave her alone."

Susie lowered her head, "I'm like sticking a sharp knife into her heart." Zhu Lisheng asked in surprise, "Do you really think it's so serious?" Suzie looked at him. "You don't know much about women." "Let's not discuss this any further." Someone is out looking for them. Susie couldn't leave for a while, and she was in charge of the congratulatory speech. Lei Jiazhen was no longer among the guests, so she must have left. After the banquet was over, Su Xi and Zhu Lisheng rushed home, only to find that the building was empty. The Siberian jade paper knife fell on the marble porch and broke in two.

Zhu Lisheng came down from upstairs, "Let's go." Knowing this, the disappointment remains. Of course Lei Jiazhen would not sit in the Zhu residence and wait for them to come back to negotiate.By now I'm afraid she has already left by plane. Susie felt the taste. Even Su Jin hopes to be blessed by relatives and friends, and Su Xi is no exception. This is human nature. Losing Lei Jiazhen made her feel extremely uncomfortable. This lady treated her like a nephew, always helping her and supporting her. I really didn't expect that she would betray her today. Zhu Lisheng looked at Suzy, "Guilty?"

Suzy nodded. "However, feelings are selfish." Zhu Lisheng was a little anxious. She hugged Zhu Lisheng and shed tears. Zhu put his chin on the top of her head, unable to speak. From a very young age, Susie longed for someone to take care of her, take her first, and support her when necessary.Zhu Lisheng seems to be able to fulfill such a wish. Of course she is selfish, even if Xiao Jiazhen hates her all her life, she will not back down. In the end, she is only herself, she does not think for herself, who will think for her. "Let's go back." Suzy nodded. Zhu Lisheng made a series of arrangements for her.

Before her mother came back, she moved. In the commercial society, it is easy to do things with money, the fastest and the most beautiful, and it can be done immediately. That's how Suzy moved into the little bungalow with the most beautiful view. When her mother came back, Suzie told her, "I've moved out." Ms. Huang was surprised, "The salary has been increased." "a little bit" "Move to where?" "Tranquility Road." Ms. Huang was even more surprised, "You won the lottery?" Suzy thought about it and answered, "Yes."

Ms. Huang stared at her daughter, "You know what you're doing?" "Whole awake." "The other party is a married man?" "No, already divorced." "Is there evidence?" "Attested by Lawyer Lei." "Susie, take care of yourself." Susie felt a little sad. All these years, she was the one who took care of herself. She was the lighthouse, and she was the boat. "I understand, mother." Ms. Huang kept her face away and sighed, "I'm not a good mother." Suzy said quickly, "You're the best mother ever."

Ms. Huang looked at her daughter, "That's fine, let's enjoy it." Suzy smiled, "I thought so too." Being favored and cherished is a rare enjoyment. Moreover, he gave her a lot of freedom, and he didn't even restrict her to a showdown with Zhu Qidong. At this time, Qidong has not seen Suzie for three days. However, she still came to pick him up and leave the hospital. When Qidong saw her, he said, "Susie, you can talk after you see the scar on my leg." Gently uncover the trousers. Susie squatted down to check, and she had never seen such a horrible scar. If it appeared on the TV screen, it would definitely have to be checked by a mirror, but Susie has never been afraid of these.

She asked, "Does it hurt?" "Okay, come back every week for physical therapy." "How long will it take to dance?" "Maybe never," he joked deliberately, "do you still want me?" Susie was taken aback, "Qidong, I want to talk to you in detail." He sat on the wheelchair, "Go out and talk." Suzy pushed him out of the hospital lobby. Zhu's driver came over to take over. In the car, Suzie held Qidong's hand, "Qidong, we are best friends." Zhu Qidong turned his head, "Why do you emphasize that we are friends?"

"Qidong, we are indeed friends." Zhu Qidong changed color, "You have Qiaoxi in your words." "Qidong, I can only be your friend." "I don't want to be your friend," he said anxiously, "you are my lover." "I never said yes." "Your hints accept--" "Sorry, I caused you to misunderstand." "Susie, what's going on?" Susie looked down. "Because I was hurt?" "of course not." "I also know you're not that kind of person." Susie said: "I have a strong dependence and need a lot of time, manpower and material resources from the other party. I am not your ideal partner."

Zhu Qidong looked at her, "This statement is really skillful, it is for my own good in the end." Susie was silent. "You have someone else." Suzy nodded. "He has higher conditions than me." "No, it just suits me better." Zhu Qidong's nose turned red first, "You have tried your best, and your speech is so smooth." "Qidong, work is all you have." "I can--" "No, don't change yourself for anyone." Zhu Qidong's eyes also turned red. "And, who knows yourself better than you, would you give up your job?" Zhu Qidong's excited mood gradually calmed down. Susie's eyelashes were filled with tears, but she smiled again, "Maybe when you decide to go to the wilderness of Australia to treat the aborigines for a year, or go to Canada The northern ice fields serve the Eskimo tribes. " They shook hands tightly. "Don't bother me," Suzy begged. Zhu Qidong refused to agree. Susie sighed, and tears came, which she wiped away with the back of her hand. She is sentimental about her life experience and cannot control her emotions. The car stopped. "Got home." Zhu Qidong said softly: "If I had known this, I would have never left the hospital." "Please don't say that." "You don't have to worry about how I talk." Leaning on crutches, he got out of the car and went into the house alone. The driver said, "Miss Su, I'll take you home." Susie gets in the car. There was also the smell of disinfectant that Zhu Qidong brought out from the hospital in the carriage. Zhu Lisheng was waiting for Suzie at home. He looked at her, "The face is so bad, but it's a showdown." "Guess right." "Acceptable to him?" "fine." "Hey," Zhu Lisheng said, "in a bustling city, fame and fortune are the easiest thing to seek, and if it's not fame and fortune, things will be more complicated. "I long to be loved." Zhu Lisheng replied: "You must understand that there is an age gap between us." "I'm well aware of this, and that's why you have the time, the intelligence, the ability to love someone." Zhu Lisheng was quite calm, "What about the future? Suzy laughed, "How far into the future? You mean tomorrow, or next year." "Ten years, twenty years." "If you think so far, you're not asking for trouble." Zhu Lisheng was relieved. Suzy laughed, "Surely, twenty years later, you're still better than many men." Zhu Lisheng had never received such a direct compliment on his appearance, so he was speechless for a while. Susie asked: "Didn't you say to go by boat?" It was a brand-new white yacht, one hundred and sixty feet long, with the word Suzie engraved on the hull. She was lying on the deck, her back was golden brown. "Are you sure?" "His true love is not me, but his stethoscope." Zhu Lisheng said: "I hope I didn't ask him to see you for me that day." Suzy smiled again, "I believe in fate, how about you?" Zhu Lisheng let out a breath. They walked to the terrace and sat down. It was a hazy and hot day, and Susie was wearing only a single shirt, and she was gradually sweating. She asked, "Do you love Qidong?" Zhu Lisheng replied very flatly: "If there is a bullet shooting at him, I will block it for him without hesitation, and he will do the same to me." Suzie's jaw. Zhu Lisheng turned his head, "I know why you are asking this question, Miao can tell you that before such a life-and-death event happens, I will still pursue my ideal life, and so will he, and nothing can stop us. Suzy wiped the sweat from her lips. She made a large pitcher of iced tea and poured it herself. Zhu Lisheng looked at her and smiled, "Thirsty?" Su Xi replied: "Yes, I am thirsty all the time. My psychiatrist Situ Zenghui may be because of my intense desire for something." "But fame and fortune?" Zhu Lisheng swims far away and then back again. Swimming is his favorite sport. The next day, Suzy still went to work. Lei Jiazhen's phone call came. "I underestimated you. You are still working as a white-collar worker. This is simply a retaliatory demonstration." Suzy smiled: "Only you know me best." "What do you want to prove?" "I love working, even if it used to be a living." "Susie, I want to talk to you." "I'll be there when you pass." Lei Jiazhen felt uncomfortable again for being so straightforward. This was originally her most speculative friend, but today he became an enemy. "Come to my office after get off work." "must." Susie knew she had to make it clear that she couldn't hide from this meeting. At five o'clock in the afternoon, she went to the Hongmen Banquet alone. Lei Jiazhen was waiting for her. There was ice-cold champagne in the office, and Suzie felt thirstier than ever. She pours herself to drink. Lei Jiazhen got straight to the point. "Susie, you inherited half of your deceased father's property, and you are already very rich, so you don't have to covet Zhu's wealth." "No," Suzy said, "it's not about the money." "I have known this man for more than twenty years," Lei Jiazhen said bitterly, "he is not an easy person to get along with." "I can guess." "His ex-wife failed, and I got nothing, why do you think you have a chance to win." "I'm young and open to experimenting." Lei Jiazhen was at a loss for words, and after a while: "You won't regret it." "Love, be loved, how can you regret it." "In the future, you will be worthless for yourself." "Loving someone, being loved, what's not worth it." Lei Jiazhen sighed. "I have my mother's inheritance, and I am very brave in emotional matters." "Susie, I've always liked you." "It's absolutely true." "I've never begged anyone." Suzy spread her hands. "Now I have something to ask." "If I can-" "You can absolutely do it." Suzy smiled, "What's that?" "For my sake, leave Zhu Lisheng." Susie was so surprised that she couldn't speak. She didn't expect Lei Jiazhen to ask her rival to withdraw automatically like all foolish women. There is a Chinese idiom for this kind of approach, which is called seeking skin from a tiger. How could it succeed? Susie was deeply saddened. But Lei Jiazhen actually thought he could impress him, "Susie, you are young and beautiful, and you have inherited an inheritance. You are even more powerful. There are many suitable age partners, so why choose Zhu Lisheng." She was right, that was indeed a choice. "I've been with him for twenty years, and I can't find anyone to replace him." Susie was silent. "Susie, would you like to leave him? Susie refused without thinking, "No." Lei Jiazhen's face turned gray. She suddenly showed her old age, the corners of her eyes and mouth were wrinkled, and they drooped severely, forming a miserable appearance. Susie couldn't bear it, so she stopped turning her head and stood up, "I'm leaving." Lei Jiazhen said, "Wait a minute." Susie was even more sad, and couldn't help but said: "Stop talking, you are Lei Jiazhen, you can afford to lose." "I'm human too." "However, you shall be wiser than others." "Susie, I'll make you regret it." In the end, Suzie looked at the ceiling and sighed, "Does it have to be so ugly, we used to be friends." "Exactly, how can you treat your friend like this?" "I told you I didn't know about your relationship, and it's true." "Now you know." "You are a senior lawyer, why are you entangled with me in such a simple matter." "Susie, you and Zhu's father fell in love at the same time. You have a bad relationship and are very depraved. I am one of the executors of the Su family's estate. I judge you to be disqualified from receiving the inheritance." Suzy froze. Lei Jiazhen thought she would soften. But she didn't. Suzy smiled, "Cancel is cancelled, I don't care, now, you finally understand why I continue to work, self-supporting, the happiest." She opened the door and left on her own. I really didn't expect Lei Jiazhen to stage this play. Susie thought she would reach out. "Susie, I bless you, remain friends Of course, he would not treat Su Xi and Zhu Lisheng to dinner graciously, but he had to say that in the scene, so as not to lose his status, and to be worthy of his educational age. But she even threatened. Susie has an infinite dislike for her father's inheritance, and it is not astronomical. Even if it is unconditionally distributed, it will not make anyone live a life like a prince, but there are many restrictions, forcing children to admit their depravity. I don't know what it means. She doesn't want her father's money. Su Jin and Su Zhou abstained from power, and lived a good life differently. Without this legacy, it is not a loss. This inheritance has turned her most respected elders against her. Damn money. When she returned to the office, she breathed a sigh of relief. The small room is infinitely warm. Colleagues sometimes cooperate with each other, and sometimes stab each other in the back. It is a living human relationship. She likes to work. Now, she is a young woman with nothing. Suzie put her head in her hands, lost in thought. The secretary poked his head in, "Miss Su, are you still off work?" "Let's go." It turned out that the office building was a refuge. When she got downstairs, she found Zhu Lisheng sitting in the car waiting for her. He smiled, "Miss, give you a ride." "Where are you going?" "But at your command." "Can I get off at any time?" "Absolute freedom." "Just me?" "correct." Satisfied, Susie opened the door and got in the car. Zhu Lisheng drove the car away. "I heard about it." Susie spread her hands helplessly. "I will make it up to you." "Why? My loss is only due to my choice." "But you chose me." Suzie sighed. "Life was fine until the bequest was read." Zhu Lisheng felt that Su Xi was his responsibility even more, "Don't worry, I will protect you." Susie smiled, "I like to hear such words the most." All other vague words are both chatty and nasty. She was very thankful that his arms were strong, and seeing Zhu Lisheng smile, that bright smile was like a hibiscus flower in his eyes, and his eyelashes were filled with tears. The harder it is to get, the more cherished. She was taken from another man by him.The other man was his son. Back at the bungalow, I saw that the greenhouse flower garden had sent employees. There was a truckload of flowers, and Suzie picked a few at random. She prefers the scented white flowers. "It's strange, God is fair, most of the brightly colored flowers are not fragrant." The gardener smiled, "No, wisteria, roses, and peonies are all fragrant." "No wonder painters have always liked these kinds of flowers the most." "Miss Su, how about we help you build a wisteria trellis?" "OK." "And build a small glass green room to help you set up some orchids." This was actually Zhu Lisheng's idea. When others send flowers, he sends the whole garden. Just when Susie thought she could take a rest, a small RV drove to the door and braked suddenly. Susie looked up in surprise, and she saw the person she least wanted to see at this moment. Zhu Qidong.
