Chapter 258 escape from heartbreak
After staying at her house for two days, she was almost well, and Jiang Chuheng had to go back to work. After taking a bath the night before he left, he sat beside her and spoke to her, "Haitang, I have to leave tomorrow."
"Okay." She was satisfied that he could stay at home with her for a few days.
After a long silence, his deep and magnetic voice was a little cautious, "Haitang, I'll get married when I come back, okay?" All he wanted now was to get married and get engaged.
Li Haitang tilted his head and looked away, not wanting to answer the question.
Jiang Chuheng's eyes were dim, and his long arm stretched out, pulling her thin and weak body into his arms. He wrapped her tightly with his skillful strength and decided to take a step back, "Then wait until you come back from studying abroad before you get married, okay?"
Li Haitang still did not answer. She broke free a few times. The difference in strength was too great, so she had to give up.
Take another step back: "When you want to get married, we will go to get the license, okay?"
Still silent.
Jiang Chuheng turned her head over, her eyes and voice begging, "Haitang, choose one, okay?" As long as she agreed to get married, he would do anything.
"Chu heng, I don't want marriage and love anymore. I think it's good to be alone. Loneliness is a kind of happiness for me." In this relationship, he did not apologize to himself, but his mother gave her a heavy blow, she suddenly realized that marriage is not a simple love, one injury is enough to remember a lifetime, she did not want to try again, she did not have the courage.
"No, don't do this." Jiang Chuheng held her tightly in his arms and wished he could rub her into his body. His heart ached so much that his eyes turned red. He didn't know what his mother had said to her, so much so that he hurt her to the point of heartbreak.
Li Haitang stopped wriggling and resisted, allowing him to hold her. Her eyes glistened with tears, and her long, curly lashes were wet, but she did not fall down again.
Haitang, I know you're in a bad mood now. I won't ask you for an answer. I'll wait for you. When you're willing to discuss this with me, we'll decide when to get married, okay?" He only wanted to marry her, and he didn't agree to any of her other ideas.
Li Haitang lowered his head, his voice very low, but very clear: "Chu heng, don't wait. I won't marry into your The jiang family, and I won't accept anyone else in the future. Love is sweet, love is bitter, I have tasted it once, the taste is unforgettable, I do not want to and dare not try again. I've been very depressed and tired these days, like a walking corpse. If you don't want to see me continue like this, let me go."
"If I let you go, what should I do?" He yelled in his throat, feeling agitated. "Do you want me to live like hell?"
Li Haitang's lips trembled and a stream of tears fell on the back of his hand.
Her tears burned his heart. He knew that she had feelings for him. It was his mother who said something to force her to leave him. His heart ached and he was agitated. He kissed her wildly and rudely, ignoring her, and swallowed up all her words of resistance.
The sofa was too narrow, so he turned over and stood up. Before she could catch her breath, he picked her up and strode back to the bedroom. The two slender bodies were lying on the bed. He restrained her limbs from moving. The kiss was a little gentler, but he did not give her a chance to breathe.
When Li Haitang was about to faint, he heard his suppressed and solemn vow: "Haitang, I forbid you to die alone. You must be mine. No matter how long you can get out of the knot in your heart, I will always wait for you."
She did not know what he had left the room or when he had left the house. When she got up the next morning, there was a bowl of warm chicken porridge on the table, a plate of her favorite onion rolls, and a note saying goodbye.
Jiang Chuheng left half an hour ago. He drove home, packed some simple things, talked to his father, and asked the driver to take him to the train station.
Chu Hongmei's eyes were red with anger. Before he left, he didn't even say a word to her and didn't even say hello. He was so angry that he smashed one of his favorite teacups.
After a week of recuperation at home, she recovered and began her internship.
Li Haitang's internship was originally arranged by the school, but Elder Mo provided her with a good job opportunity, so she went straight to the semi-closed internship after the school report.
There was no sound. It was winter.
The whistling cold wind hit the exposed skin, and the cold feeling went deep into his bones. Jiang Chuheng, who had just got off the train and hurried out of the station with his luggage, did not feel the cold at all. His heart was already colder than the severe winter in the capital.
It had been four months since he left the capital city last time. He had made countless phone calls and written countless letters, but she did not answer them. She asked her friends to look for her. Everyone had only one word to say. She was very busy and had never been home. It wasn't easy for them to meet her. They didn't know where she was interning. She kept it a secret from anyone.
Jiang Chuheng didn't go straight home. Instead, he went to Piedmont garden and knocked on the door for a long time. There was no movement inside. He went back to the mail box downstairs and looked into the small box of 1201. It was thick with letters. He was familiar with those letters. Most of them were written by him, and she had never come to get them.
She was avoiding him on purpose.
Looking out at the fluffy snow falling like cotton floss, the chilly wind blew through his chest and heart, but it could not freeze the endless worry and heartache in his heart.
Not long after he returned to the The jiang family, Xu Yueyang came to him and greeted the elders of the The jiang family. The two of them went straight upstairs to talk.
Chu heng, don't worry. Haitang is an intern. As for the work unit, only the mo family knows about it. Xia Lin called her home and asked. Even her foster father and brother were unaware. He only said that he would receive a call from her in half a month to tell her that he was safe. Xia Lin has the key to her house. She went in and saw that there was a layer of dust in the house. She probably hasn't been home in months. She should be staying at work." Xu Yueyang felt uncomfortable watching their relationship turn out like this, but he couldn't help it.
Jiang chuheng pursed his lips tightly, but his hands on his knees unconsciously clenched into fists. "Did the li family say that she would go back for the new year?"
"No. Xia Lin also called yesterday. Her foster father said that the last call was half a month ago, and he didn't say anything about the new year. He just said that he was busy with work."
Jiang Chuheng looked out at the sky. It was already evening. "I'm going to Huaishu alley tomorrow."
"Ah..." Xu Yueyang sighed. He and Xia Lin went to the Mo family together. The old couple of the Mo family were very enthusiastic about their visit, but they didn't say a word about Li Haitang's whereabouts. They just said that she was fine. Don't worry. Let them give her some time to adjust her mood.
"I have one more thing to tell you."
Jiang Chuheng looked up at him and waited for him to speak.
Xu Yueyang put one hand on the chair and the other in his pocket with a smile on his lips, "It's about xiao man. She's dating someone, but your family doesn't know yet."
Jiang chuheng frowned and asked, "Who is the other party?"
"My big brother, Xia Jin." He didn't expect the two of them to get together. According to xia lin, it seemed that Chu Xiaoman had taken the initiative first.
"It's quite suitable." Jiang Chuheng was happy for his cousin, but he was not in a good mood, and such a good thing did not make him feel any better.
Chu Xiaoman was now officially working at the red cross. She had a degree, ability, and family background. Naturally, she was very comfortable working in the company. She had learned about Sun Bingqing and Li Haitang's boisterous entanglement from tv and newspapers in hui province half a year ago, so she guessed it was because of Brother Four at first. When she returned to the capital, she heard her family talk about her aunt's involvement. She was very dissatisfied with her behavior, but she had no position to blame her.
After her official job, she found an excuse to move out and, like all her brothers and sisters in the family, did not come home for a reunion dinner until the weekend.
Therefore, no one in the family knew about her and Xia Jin's relationship.
"On your mother's side..." Xu Yueyang thought they were a good match, but he was still worried about his mother's attitude. He didn't expect to meddle again and affect the relationship between the two families.
Jiang Chuheng said coldly, "Don't worry about her. I'll talk to dad about it."
"Hey, okay." He was an outsider, so it was different for Jiang Chuheng to come forward. Then he patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm going to Hunan province this new year to accompany my in-laws. I'm leaving tomorrow night. I won't be back until the fourth day of the first month."
"Yes."
The two of them chatted about other things in the room for a while. Xu Yueyang declined the invitation from the The jiang family and went back to his home for dinner.
During dinner at night, none of the The jiang family's other grandchildren came back. Only Jiang Baichuan and Chu Hongmei, along with the nanny, guard and driver, ate with five people. Apart from Jiang Baichuan's occasional questions and Jiang Chuheng's answers, all that was left was the sound of chewing food.
When Jiang Chuheng returned home, he only called out to chu hongmei "Mom," without saying anything else. For the past four months, he had called home to talk to his father, but never to his mother. He really didn't want to talk to her now, and he was waiting for her to say her mistake and apologize, but apparently his mother still didn't feel that she was wrong, and still insisted on doing what she did.
After dinner, Jiang Chuheng took the initiative to call his father into the study and tell him about Chu Xiaoman. He also told him about Xia Jin. He didn't want his only cousin to follow his own and sister's path.
Jiang Baichuan understood what he meant and nodded, "Dad knows. Call xiao man later and ask her to come back tomorrow. If the two children are sincere, then meet the parents after the new year, get engaged early and settle the matter."
"Yes."
Seeing that he was about to get up and leave, Jiang Baichuan asked, "What's going on with you and the child?"
Jiang Chuheng pursed his lips and said in a melancholy tone, "I can't reach anyone."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Baichuan frowned.
He explained in a few words.
It was obvious that the other party was avoiding him. Jiang Baichuan sighed helplessly. He couldn't see anyone, he couldn't get in touch, and even if he had something to say, he couldn't explain it clearly. How could the relationship between the two people be eased?
After jiang chuheng left the study, he did not return to his room. Instead, he went out and drove to Piedmont garden, but no one was there. He took the key from Xia Lin next door and opened the door. It was cold in the room. It had not been heated for a long time, and the refrigerator was clean. The owner had not come back to live in it for a long time.
He went to Huaishu alley the next day, but the mo family wasn't there either. He asked his neighbors and found out that the Mo family had all gone to southern Pengcheng three days ago. He Xiaowan's parents moved to work in Pengcheng. Their family was invited to the warm south this year for the new year, and would not come back until the tenth day of the first month.
