Chapter 445 No Choice in Fate
Song Xi decided to visit Song Yuanqing on the spur of the moment. If she had not seen George Sheng when she went downstairs in the afternoon, she would not have made such a proposal. Maybe the moment she saw him, she felt particularly sour. She had no home, no mother, and no brothers. Sisters, even their closest friends couldn't complain. They were anxious and worried that they would go crazy, so after much deliberation, they had no choice but to run to Song Yuanqing. He was her last refuge.
Still in the same place, in a separate room, Song Yuanqing met Song Xi. Seeing Song Xi's swollen eyes, Song Yuanqing immediately changed his expression, looked at her and asked: "What's wrong, Xiao Xi, who bullied you?"
Song Xi was still smiling at first, but the words she had rehearsed all the way were now stuck in her throat. She took a step forward and hugged Song Yuanqing, as if she were a child, nestling in his arms, closing her eyes, gritting her teeth tightly, trying her best to Don't cry out by yourself.
There was unspeakable distress in Song Yuanqing's eyes. He patted her back with one hand and moved the other hand along the back of her head, whispering: "Xiao Xi, don't cry. What did you tell dad about?"
Song Xi couldn't bear the trembling of her lips, fearing that she would choke uncontrollably when she opened her mouth. She tried her best to suppress the grievance in her heart. After a few seconds, she took a breath and replied: "I miss you. "
Song Yuanqing's eyes turned red instantly. It was almost the New Year, and the year was fast and slow, but he couldn't imagine how Song Xi survived this year outside.
Song Xi enjoyed Song Yuanqing's embrace almost greedily. She didn't hear him speak for a long time. She took the initiative to raise her head and saw Song Yuanqing crying silently.
His heart suddenly stung, Song Xi raised her hand to wipe his face, and said in a suppressed voice: "Dad, don't cry."
Song Yuanqing didn't say anything, but Song Xi knew that he felt very guilty. He wiped the tears from his face twice. Song Xi raised the corners of his lips and said loudly: "I don't feel uncomfortable, and I won't cry anymore. Don't feel bad." .”
Song Yuanqing still didn't speak, only raised his hand and touched Song Xi's head lovingly.
Song Xi saw Song Yuanqing's face through her blurred vision. At this moment, she firmly believed in an idea. No matter what, she must keep Song Yuanqing safe no matter what, even if she risked her life.
The father and daughter came to the table and sat down. Song Xi took the initiative to pick up the topic and chatted with him for a while. He asked him how he was doing recently and if he needed anything. Song Yuanqing answered all questions, while always looking at Song Xi. With Xi's eyes wide open, Song Xi held his hand across the table as usual.
"Xiao Xi, what happened?"
Midway through, Song Yuanqing spoke up and took control of the conversation.
Song Xi smiled lightly and said, "It's nothing, I just missed you so much all of a sudden. My eyes almost swelled when I looked at you."
Song Yuanqing said: "If you don't tell me the truth, I will find someone to investigate, but I want you to tell me personally, otherwise I will feel very uncomfortable. It doesn't matter what I do, but you will suffer a little injustice." , Dad even wants to die."
Song Xi had a lump in his throat, shook Song Yuanqing's hand hard, frowned and said, "I'm not wronged, don't think nonsense."
Song Yuanqing looked at her and said: "You are my daughter. Is there something on your mind that I can't tell? Do you think that dad is like this and can't help you anymore, so he refuses to tell me?"
He deliberately cut the flesh with a soft knife. Song Xi felt extremely sad and kept squeezing Song Yuanqing's hand. Tears fell and he lowered his gaze. After a while, he said: "Dad, Shen Zhaoyi is back."
In fact, what made Song Xi cry was not just that Shen Zhaoyi was back. What she wanted to say was that Shen Zhaoyi was back, but she fell in love with George Sheng, but George Sheng had someone else in his heart, and he still made her sad all day long.
She always thought that she could handle everything, but only now did she realize that she was not as smart as she thought, let alone as strong as she thought. She was so uncomfortable that she almost died, and she only dared to file for divorce through drinking. But George Sheng used Song Yuanqing to blackmail her.
She never knew that over the past year, their relationship had gone round and round, and finally ended up threatening each other.
Song Xi lowered his head and shed tears, while Song Yuanqing's eyes clearly showed a hint of surprise, followed by heartache.
"Have you met him?"
Song Xi nodded first, then shook her head, and told the story of Shen Zhaoyi's accident that day. She has not yet seen him when he woke up.
When Song Yuanqing heard that Shen Zhaoyi had happened in front of the Union Gate, he immediately guessed the reason.
After a long silence, he slowly said: "Xiao Xi, if dad tells you the truth, I was the one who caused Shen Zhaoyi to break up with you, will you blame me?"
After Song Yuanqing finished speaking, Song Xi waited for a few seconds before slowly raising his head, looking at him blankly with red and swollen eyes.
Song Yuanqing knew that Shen Zhaoyi was back, and he couldn't hide the matter sooner or later. He took the initiative and said, "You have been with Shen Zhaoyi for more than two years, and he has never mentioned his family members to you, right?"
Song Xi was silent, because when she recalled the days with Shen Zhaoyi, it seemed that only his blurry face was the only one, and the clearest thing was his decisive and cold eyes when he broke up with her.
"Shen Zhaoyi's father was sentenced to fifteen years in prison for kidnapping. His brother is the leader of a well-known local organization in Lanzhou. Yes, it is the underworld. Even I have heard of him. Shen Zhaoyi was born in such a family. He Even though he was able to survive the mud, he passed the exam and became a police officer in Night City, but do you know how clean a family background a public official needs? Do you know that just being his brother is enough to prevent him from getting ahead in his life? "
Song Yuanqing looked at Song Xi's hollow eyes filled with worry, and said without blinking: "Yes, I'm investigating him. I can't let my heart follow a man of unknown origins. It's still like this." A family man.”
A large tear fell from his eyes. Song Xi looked at Song Yuanqing and asked, "So you asked him to break up with me?"
Song Yuanqing said: "I did find him and exposed him. He said that his father kidnapped an unscrupulous boss who did not pay workers because his mother was seriously ill and needed money. Later, his father was sentenced In the past fifteen years, his mother's health has become worse and worse. He is still young, so his brother has to go out to support the family. It is not his choice to take the wrong path, but he has no choice. Therefore, Shen Zhaoyi said that he never felt that his family People are 'dirty', and he said that the people he loves the most and is most sorry for in his life are his family."
"I asked him to choose between his family and you. Either get rid of the tail that will cause him trouble at any time, or leave you. The brat is very stubborn and won't choose anything. He said he can weigh it and he will He works very hard, and he is willing to risk his life for you. I have many ways to make him leave you, but I feel sorry for you even more. I can't bear to see you sad, so I haven't looked for it again in the past six months. he."
Song Xi had never known these Shen Zhaoyi's 'secrets'. Her eyes were red, and she asked Song Yuanqing with suppressed sobs: "Then why did he suddenly go to the Middle East to maintain peace?"
