Every word of He Jianhui was filled with unwillingness and deep hatred. It was clear from every word that he was facing He Zhenhua with the usual jealousy and disgust.
This shocked He Zhenhua.
He and He Xin had been brothers for so many years, but they never knew that he couldn't have children. They only knew that he had married two women, and the first one was already divorced from him more than ten years ago. And more than ten years later, she married another one, but this time she divorced him within three months.
He had also once cared about how he didn't have a child. After all, he was already old, so it wouldn't be good to delay any longer.
At that time, He Huan pretended to not care and told him, "One person has more freedom, and if there is more trouble for the children, he would not ask any questions."
All along, he had always thought that the reason for his revival was because he was joking or that he had an illegitimate child outside. However, he didn't know that he was … Infertility.
He Zuohua was already unwilling to give up, but the jealousy in his heart had reached its peak when he saw He Zhenhua's family happy and happy. That was why he lost his mind and did things against He Zhenhua.
At this moment, He Zhenhua felt powerless. This was the family he had always trusted, but he had no idea how much he hated him to the core and wished that he could die.
Sixteen years ago, he was the one who chose to believe in his elder brother and not his wife. In the end, everything was his fault. Who could they blame for such an outcome?
"Although you took Xi'er away from me back then, I also thought that I wouldn't see her again after so many years, but …" He Zhenhua restrained his emotions. With a calm look in his eyes, he said, "I've already found her. She'll eventually come back to me."
"What did you say?" "You said you found her..." How is that possible? " He Ming muttered the latter half of the sentence.
"This might be fate." He Zhenhua smiled. "Do you remember that girl you saw in my office?"
How could he not remember that girl? She even hit him once, causing his teeth to fall off. When he thought of that girl, a wave of fury flashed in He Huan's eyes.
"Could it be that she …" Suddenly, He Xin stood up and shouted excitedly.
"Yes!" He Zhenhua nodded his head. "Didn't you ask her what her name was?" "Alright, I'll tell you then. She's called Ye Yanxi, but I didn't expect that I would have to do an paternity test with her again more than ten years later. The truth is, she is my daughter."
When he raised his head, the hatred and jealousy he had towards He Zhenhua once again surged forth. "Why are you so lucky that you were able to find me that year when I sent her out of S City? How could you have everything so easily?"
"Big brother." He Zhenhua's eyes were filled with sorrow. "If you had lived your life well and didn't gamble, all of this would have been a piece of cake for you. It's just that... You are too greedy, and you single-handedly pushed yourself to the point of no return. "
"No, it's not …" "It's you. If it wasn't for you, Dad would have handed the company to me. I'm Dad's only son, and I wouldn't have ended up like this."
Facing He Zhenhua's obsession, He Zhenhua felt that they would never be able to communicate with each other. The gap between them was more than just a chasm.
"There's still a month left. You can reflect on it … Do your best. " With that, He Zhenhua stood up and turned to leave.
There was only He Xin who looked at his back with eyes full of hatred, "Why is the heavens being so unfair to me, why is it that you can get anything while I have nothing!"
Leaving the visiting room, He Zhenhua could still hear He Xin's heart-wrenching screams from behind him.
Everything? Would he be happy?
He made a self-deprecating smile. Now that he was alone in this world, would he be able to be happy again?
When Jiang Chang Zhen returned to the Jiang family, he would no longer see him. As for his daughter, she hated him and did not recognize him. This was truly her retribution!
Suddenly, He Zhenhua's phone rang. When he saw the name on the screen, his eyes flashed with joy. He quickly picked up the call.
"Is that you? You're finally willing to call me. " He Zhenhua's voice was a bit shaky and absent-minded. Perhaps it was his wishful thinking that Jiang Chang would really call him on his own accord, which meant that he had already forgiven him.
However, Jiang Chang Zhen's tone was a bit cold, "Let's meet up!"
"Alright, I'll go right now."
"No need, just wait outside!"
"Alright, then we'll meet at the same place."
They met up at an old tea house. He Zhenhua had arrived there very early. This was also the first time they had met. The two of them had always been there for every anniversary in the past.
He arrived a little early, so he first ordered a pot of tea and sat down to wait for Jiang Qizhen.
After finishing the cup of tea, Jiang Qizhen finally arrived.
He didn't know how many times he swept his gaze past the door, but when he saw Jiang Qisha, He Zhenhua stood up excitedly to greet him.
"Chang Zhen, you're here." He was feeling a little nervous, just like the first time he saw her. He didn't know how to express himself, so he mumbled to himself for a long time before saying, "The sun is shining outside, quickly come in."
Jiang Qizhen merely looked at him coldly before following him to a seat near the window.
The air conditioner in the teahouse was adequate. It was like a different space compared to the bright sun outside. The faint fragrance of sandalwood wafted in the air, instantly cooling one's entire body.
Just as Jiang Chang Zhen sat down, He Zhenhua couldn't help but want to pull her hand. "Chang Zhen, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Finally, we've seen you."
His extended hand had missed its target. Jiang Qizhen had retracted his hand at the very moment he did so. He Zhenhua could only retract his hand resentfully.
"Chang Zhen, I know what I did wrong. I hurt you, but now I …"
While he was trying to confess, Jiang Qizhen smiled and interrupted him, "Zhenhua, how long have we known each other?"
He Zhenhua blurted out without thinking, "25 years and another three months."
The reason he remembered so clearly was because he really cared about Jiang Qizhen in his heart. Almost every year on the anniversary of their marriage, they would come here as well. For so many years, his love for Jiang Qizhen had never diminished.
Hearing this, a hint of surprise appeared in Jiang Fangzhen's eyes. She did not expect He Zhenhua to remember it so clearly. Looking out the window at the blinding sunlight, a look of confusion appeared in Jiang Fei's eyes. She quickly retracted her gaze, returning to her usual calm self.
"Since we've known each other for so many years, I'm sure you understand what sort of person I am, right?" Jiang Qizhen's voice was still cold, his gaze fixed on He Zhenhua's face.
He Zhenhua was silent for a moment before he nodded. "In my heart, you will always be perfect."
These words were met with a mocking sneer from Jiang Chang.
"Is that so? "Since I am the perfect person in your heart, then you …" Jiang Qizhen's face sank, his voice became shrill, "You're still suspecting me?" Think my daughter belongs to me and someone else? "
It wasn't that He Zhenhua hadn't been worried before she had arrived, but it seemed like she already knew the truth.
"F * ck, I just found out the truth. I was the one who let you down, so I shouldn't have doubted you. I also heard the words of a villain …" "That's why I misunderstood you, but I guarantee that I won't misunderstand you again from now on."
"Do you think you can save everything with just one sentence?" "If you hadn't misunderstood me back then, how could there be such an ending? Our daughter wouldn't have separated from me for 16 years. Just thinking about how much suffering she had gone through, how even her life or death was unpredictable, I couldn't sleep that night."
"I know, I know. It's all my fault." He Zhenhua could only apologize again and again. "I promise, from now on we will never separate. I will do my best to make it up to you and your mother …" "Chang Zhen, can you forgive me?"
Jiang Chang Zhen tried his best to adjust his breathing, calming down before raising his head to look at He Zhenhua.
"No matter what you say now, the damage that you've caused is irreparable. This is not something that you can pretend to have never existed just because of a word of forgiveness." Jiang Chang Zhen shook his head, "Xi's injuries can't be made up for with just a word of compensation."
"Chang Zhen, I know that I can't shirk my responsibilities no matter what I say, and you won't forgive me … "However, we are still husband and wife, and Little Xi is also our daughter. Although the past cannot be made up for, the good thing is that our family is still together. Forget the past, we can start over again."
Jiang Chang Zhen sneered, "When you were suspicious of me, you threw Xi into an orphanage and adopted a daughter who wasn't related to you at all. Did you ever think of family? What qualifications do you have to talk about family now? "
He Zhenhua nervously pinched his palm, his heart was full of guilt and self-blame.
"Chang Zhen, I know I made a mistake. What do you want me to do to forgive me?" He Zhenhua's eyes were full of hope as he begged Jiang Chang to forgive him.
"I've thought about it." Jiang Qizhen lifted his head coldly to look at him, his eyes filled with determination.
"True frequency …" He Zhenhua nodded his head. "No matter what you want me to do, I won't reject you."
After a long while, Jiang Fangzhen looked at He Zhenhua with an expressionless face as he spat out a few cold words, "Zhenhua …" Let's get divorced! "
