939 Family Affection Is Gone, but Love Remains (I)

Qiqi didn't know how long she had slept, so long that it seemed like several centuries had passed. When she woke up, the first feeling she had was pain.

That pain came from the heart.

It was like someone was using a blade to cut a bloody hole in her heart.

She tried very hard to open her eyes. A dazzling white light made her close her eyes again.

"Awake?"

The man's gentle voice sounded in her ears. Hearing this voice, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and a thin layer of mist covered her eyes. She opened her eyes again and saw Tang Jue's handsome face. However, as if he was the one suffering, he looked a little tired at this moment. There were obvious red bloodshot in his eye circles. But seeing her wake up, he felt a little more comforted.

"...How long have I slept?" She asked in a hoarse voice. Her throat was dry and painful.

Tang Jue gently held her hand, clasped it in his palm, and replied calmly: "Not long, a while."

"I remember... I seemed to be pushed into the operating room..." Qiqi's voice was still dry, her eyes fixed on his face, looking at her, "What's wrong with me?"

Tang Jue's breathing tightened, and the hand he held tightened. However, there was a gentle smile on his face, without any flaws, "Nothing, just choked by water, the doctor will give you a comprehensive examination."

"...Oh." Qiqi did not doubt it.

Tang Jue looked at her with burning eyes, and his eyes were mixed with various complex emotions. Qiqi shook her head and comforted him, "You said I was fine... Don't feel guilty..."

The voice was so gentle, but it was like a sharp blade that could split his heart.

Looking at the clear eyes, thinking of the child they had no chance to have, Tang Jue buried his face deeply in her soft palm in grief. Her calmness and peace made it more difficult for him to face her.

At this moment, the door of the ward was knocked from outside.

"Young Master."

Jian Qing's voice sounded outside the door.

Tang Jue straightened his face, raised his head, and opened his lips, "Come in."

With Tang Jue's response, Jian Qing pushed the door open and entered.

Seeing Qi Qi who had already woken up on the bed,

a complex dark light flashed in his eyes. Qi Qi seemed to think that the look seemed to be pity. Her heart ached slightly.

Only to hear Jian Qing whisper: "Jiang Shao and Qi Yu are here, saying that they want to see Miss Qi."

The aching emotion continued to spread in her chest, growing wantonly, and finally like a vine that grew stronger and stronger, more and more luxuriant, entwined around her heart, and she almost stopped breathing.

Tang Jue could feel her emotions, leaned over to comfort her, and touched her face, "Do you want to see?"

Qi Qi bit her lip and said nothing. Tears accumulated in her eyes, as if they would fall at any time. Tang Jue's heart was broken, and he turned his head and shouted coldly: "Let them go!"

"Wait." Qiqi's hand gently held Tang Jue's hand. She barely sat up from the bed and looked at Jian Qing, "Let them in, I want to talk to them."

"Yeah." Jian Qing nodded and turned to leave.

————————

When Qiyu and Jiang Shao came in, their expressions were complicated. As soon as Jiang Shao came in, tears had already fallen before she spoke. Qiyu didn't dare to look directly into Qiqi's eyes. In addition, Tang Jue was staring at them coldly, so the atmosphere in the whole ward was so oppressive that it made people breathless.

Jiang Shao and Qiyu still clearly remembered that Tang Jue had put a gun to their heads before, so now they are even more afraid and horrified of Tang Jue.

The two stood there for a long time and couldn't squeeze out a word.

Qiqi looked at Jiang Shao and Qiyu, and her heart was full of mixed feelings. She turned her eyes to look at Tang Jue, without saying anything, but her eyes were already pleading. Tang Jue knew what she was thinking. He glanced at Qi Yu and Jiang Shao with a warning. When he looked at Qi Qi again, his eyes were gentle again. "If you need anything, just ring the bell. I'll be in the hall outside."

Qi Qi nodded.

Tang Jue never looked at Qi Yu again during the whole process. When he closed the door, he turned back to look at Qi Qi. He stood outside the door, not going anywhere. He just lit a cigarette, leaned against the door, and smoked. He listened carefully to the movement inside the door.

————

The room fell into silence.

Finally...

"Qi Qi, we are sorry for you!" Jiang Shao spoke first, took a step forward, and looked at her with red eyes in repentance, "Aunt never knew about this before."

When Jiang Shao said this, Qi Qi's tears rolled down all of a sudden.

She sat on the bed and looked at them sadly. Now they stood in front of her, no longer like the real relatives they used to be.

They all had more or less repentance, guilt, and even a bit of flattery, lowering their heads like sinners. There was no more intimacy between family members.

Qiqi felt that the people standing in front of her were a pair of strangers. She knew that they came today not only to repent for her uncle, but also to ask for her help.

She just cast her eyes on Qiyu, with a layer of mist in her eyes, and said: "You don't really want to talk to me, but just want to lead me to the supermarket. You helped that group of people to kidnap me, right?"

It was as if...

Uncle didn't really want her to live back in Qi's house, but just held her hostage...

Qiqi had no strength in her body, but the words she said were as heavy as stone. Speaking out, it was like questioning, hitting the air.

Qiyu bit her lip and was silent. No words.

Jiang Shao glanced at Qiyu, then at Qiqi, and explained for her daughter: "Qiqi, your sister is not as bad as you think..."

"Auntie, I just want to hear what she said. I want to hear her tell me personally!" What does it mean to be so bad as you didn't expect? She originally thought that her uncle was not as bad as she thought, but what happened? ! What else does she dare to think about now? She really didn't dare to think about anything anymore...

"I... don't really want to talk to you." Qiyu finally spoke. When he said it, his tone sounded like he was relieved.

"Qiyu!" Jiang Shao shouted and stared at his daughter. Why bother saying this now to make Qiqi sad? They came here to ask for help today. What's more, Qiqi is now so ill.

Qiyu had no intention of suppressing these words. She raised her head and looked at Qiqi, "Qiqi, how do you want me to talk to you? You clearly know how much I like Tang Jue, but you insist on asking With Tang Jue. Have you ever considered my feelings for a second? If you keep saying that you treat me like a biological sister, how could you treat me like this? You can’t live with yourself, have you considered it?”

Jiang Shao also didn't expect that there was such a reason. For the first time, he knew that Qi Yu also loved Tang Jue.
