Lou Shaotang was also surprised for a moment, but immediately became expressionless again, "Yes, I admit it, you do love me." His eyes were indifferent, his voice carried no warmth or emotion, "But back then, no one forced you to leave me, so you made this choice yourself. Therefore, all the consequences must be borne by you. "
"How can you say that?" Zheng Keer's almond-shaped eyes widened as she looked at him in disbelief. "The reason why I left you is because I loved you, I didn't want to implicate you!"
It couldn't be denied that Zheng Keer deeply loved Lou Shaotang, deeply enough to completely sacrifice herself. But she did love him with a sense of inferiority.
She had always kept it a secret from Lou Shaotang. Every day, at night, she would get Lou Anqi to help her apply some sort of medicinal ointment, and she begged Lou Anqi to keep it a secret for her.
However, how could the two people who truly loved each other care about each other's imperfection?
When a person loves another person, no matter how many flaws the other person had, it was nothing for that person.
It could only be said that Zheng Keer did not understand Lou Shaotang, nor did she understand love.
Just as I was thinking that, Zheng Keer raised his head again, with a face full of unwillingness, "Yes, I am self-abased. I feel that I am too incomplete to be worthy of you, and I don't believe that you will continue to love me! No matter what happened, I gave it to you for nothing, and it was because of you that I broke my leg. You shouldn't feel guilty, grateful, or reciprocated? "
"I don't get anything in return?" Lou Shaotang immediately asked.
"That's not what I want!" Zheng Keer was no longer calm and shouted loudly: "I want you! I want to be with you again, and reunite with Heng Heng's family of three! " He once again pointed at me. "But you chose this hen that doesn't lay eggs! A bitch riding ten thousand people! She has never sacrificed herself for you. She has suffered so much for you. How can I get your love?! On what basis should I get happiness?! "
"Do you know her? "How do you know she hasn't suffered as much as you?!" Hearing her insult me, Lou Shaotang's face instantly darkened with fury, "You grew up under the protection of your parents, and she lost her parents at the age of eight. She took care of her little brother's life by herself, and when your youth wasn't aware of the sorrows, she had already tasted the warmth of a person; You did not live in the open air, she did. "
"When you were being educated in one of the best institutions in England, with your generous scholarships, when you were sitting with me in the best dining room, when you were happily traveling all over Europe in your limousine, she was saving herself and her brother's tuition and working and studying. A loaf of bread requires three meals, and a single piece of clothing can be worn to the point of failure or thrown away. In order to save the fare, she has to travel dozens of miles to and from school on her two legs. "
"I finally managed to get myself and my younger brother to graduate from university. Just as my life is about to turn bright, my younger brother suddenly developed leukemia. In order to save him, she abandoned her first love and her beautiful future. She married a living dead person like me and got scolded for being shameless. "
When he said till here, Lou Shaotang stopped talking and looked at me deeply, his eyes filled with pain.
I was thinking of him, too, the hard times of the past gradually fading away in his affection, and now I hear him mention them again, and they pass through my mind like a movie, and my heart is suddenly filled with bitterness and bitterness, and hot tears fill my eyes.
He once again shifted his gaze towards Zheng Keer, "You only have one of your legs broken, but she's dead because of her heart." His voice trembled slightly, his tone was a little moved, "You're tired, at least you have Heng Heng to comfort you. Who was she? No! She fought alone and suffered alone. You see her smiling in front of others, strong and fearless, but after people, how much tears she shed, do you know? "
He took a deep breath, seeming to forcefully suppress the intense pain in his heart. And I was in tears, not only because of the pain of the past, but because of how well he knew my past. I had never told him about it. More moved to know me so well.
After a while, Lou Shaotang continued: "You said that you were tormented to the point that you wished to live by that rogue husband of yours, then let me tell you, I was also despicable and shameless, I did my best to torture her. Although the methods were different, the humiliation and pain that she suffered was worse than yours."
perhaps because of the excessive things that he had done to me back then, Lou Shaotang closed his eyes, and a strong sense of regret surfaced on his face. " But, "He opened his eyes again, which were filled with a watery light," But she never tried to hurt anyone in order to save herself from misfortune; on the contrary, she endured all the humiliation and stood firm and unyielding. Apart from that, she could even let bygones be bygones and spare her enemy's life. Can you? "
He paused, and his expression and tone returned to ruthlessness, "You can't! For your own selfish desire, you not only deceived her, but also destroyed her reputation, and even wanted to kill her several times! Zheng Keer, do you still dare to say that she is inferior to you? "
Zheng Keer stared at him intently, her lips tightly pursed but no words coming out.
"You all think I love her because she's smart and beautiful and has a devilish body." Lou Shaotang's expression was stern, his tone firm, "That's right, I won't deny it. But, "he stopped and looked over at me, his mouth slowly curving into a gentle smile," I love her, not only because of her looks, but also because of her tenacity and kindness.
I stared into his affectionate eyes for the first time since I'd heard him say he loved me. My heart thumped, and the tears I'd just wiped welled up in my eyes again.
Lou Shaotang raised his hand to wipe away my tears. The warm feeling on his finger warmed every single cell in my body.
Ahh!
Suddenly, Zheng Keer screamed, startling both me and Lou Shaotang, who at the same time turned to look at her.
She jumped up from the ground and dashed towards the edge of the rooftop.
"Mother —" Heng Heng turned pale with fright, and screamed at Zheng Keer.
Realizing that Zheng Keer was about to jump off the building, Lou Shaotang hurriedly chased after him. "Zheng Keer!"
His legs were long and fast, and he caught up with her in a few steps, pulling her back. However, Zheng Keer seemed to have completely lost his mind, as he struggled with all his might, constantly screaming, "Ah ~ Let go of me ~ You don't want me anymore! Don't want me! Let me die! I want to die! "
She was hysterical. Seeing that Lou Shaotang was unable to hold her back, Heng Heng and I immediately ran over to help.
"Mommy ~ Mommy ~ ~"
Heng Heng kneeled on the ground and hugged Zheng Keer's legs as he cried desperately, while I went to grab her two wildly waving arms.
She was shockingly strong, and I was hit in the face several times, but I didn't care about the pain anymore. I wanted to stop her. After a while, she barely managed to grab onto him and almost let him escape. Fortunately, Lou Shaotang managed to hold her by the waist in time, causing her to lose some of her strength.
Finally, the three of us managed to subdue her. Lou Shaotang immediately called the hospital, and not long after, the hospital sent an ambulance to bring her away, and we followed.
On the way, Lou Shaotang asked Heng Heng if there was something wrong with his mind. Heng Heng said that he was not sure, but ever since the injury on his wrist healed and he was discharged, Zheng Keer had been a little too abnormal, often talking to himself and talking nonsense on his own, talking about Christmas dances and summer holidays. Most of the things were when he was studying abroad with Lou Shaotang, sometimes not knowing him at all, asking who he was.
Hearing his words, Lou Shaotang and I were basically certain that Zheng Keer had schizophrenia. When we arrived at the hospital, the psychiatrist gave Zheng Keer a thorough check-up, confirming our judgement. He also said that her condition was quite serious and that she needed to be hospitalized for treatment.
After exiting the diagnosis room, Zheng Keer was sent to the sickroom. Both Lou Shaotang and I were in a heavy mood, no one expected her to fall into such a predicament.
"Wife, there's something …"
Lou Shaotang held my hand, wanting to say something but hesitating to speak. I knew exactly what he was going to say.
"I know." I smiled slightly. "With Zheng Keer's current condition, Heng Heng can no longer live together with her. Let him return to the Lou Family."
"Wife, thank you."
Lou Shaotang's expression was not too surprised, as if he had already known that I would say this. I also know very well that the reason why he hesitated was not because he was afraid that I would disagree, but because he was concerned about my feelings and was afraid that I would feel uncomfortable.
After all, he was Lou Shaotang's son, and he was indeed very pitiful. I am only worried that there might be some friction between me and Heng Heng in the future. This child's hostility towards me is too deep, it won't be resolved in a short period of time. But I'll try, even if I can't make him like it, at least not anymore.
After that, Lou Shaotang called Shen Yiru. When Shen Yiru found out, she immediately rushed to the hospital, but she was not here to worry about Zheng Keer, but about her darling grandson.
"Heng Heng, are you alright? "This is so scary." When he saw Heng Heng, Shen Yiru excitedly hugged him. Maybe because she was afraid, her face was even paler than Heng Heng who had just went through a dangerous situation. There were even tears in her eyes.
"I'm fine." Heng Heng said calmly.
Ever since he entered the hospital, his emotions had gradually stabilized. She gently pushed Shen Yiru aside and sat on the chair beside Zheng Keer's bed.
Seeing how Heng Heng was treating him coldly, Shen Yiru took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears. However, it was obvious that she was more happy than sad. After all, her long-cherished wish had come true.
Heng Heng returned to the Lou Family that night, and transferred Zheng Keer to a mental sanatorium, where he assigned the Principal to treat him personally. This was the only thing that he could do for Zheng Keer right now, and could be considered to be done for him.
Our lives were quiet again.
Today, after finishing discussing matters with my client outside and seeing that it was almost time to get off work, I didn't go back to the company and instead went to "Heaven's Nest" to look for Lou Shaotang. We're going to eat out in the evening, and then we're going to see a movie.
Just as I was about to reach Lou Shaotang's office, the secretary raised his head and saw me. His expression immediately became unnatural, as though he was extremely nervous.
I walked toward her, a little puzzled.
"Lou Taitai." The secretary stood up, gave me a stiff smile, and moved to block the office door.
Seeing that she obviously wanted to stop me from entering, I probed, "Director Lou is in a meeting?"
"Yes, yes." She stuttered back at me, her eyes evasive, her expression guilty.
"With whom?"
The secretary thought for a moment. "He and the marketing department." He immediately said, "Why don't you go to the VIP lounge and wait for a while. It should be ready soon."
I sneered in my heart. Even if he didn't know how to lie, he would still say it. I met the marketing director just now in the elevator, so I'm sure that there's someone else in Lou Shaotang's office right now. And seeing that she didn't want me to know, there must be something fishy going on.
"Alright." I pretended to agree.
The secretary sighed with relief and said with a smile, "Then I'll take you there."
She raised her foot, and I turned, but as she passed me, she turned and walked quickly to the office and opened the door
"I don't mind being a mistress!"
The woman's sweet, determined voice reached my ears as I opened the door, and I stopped, my eyes popping as I saw what was in front of me.
