Chapter 414: Cutting Hope
"Why didn't you tell me personally?" Lin Qing followed his gaze, as if he wanted to see through his eyes.
This tone turned as if he had committed something, Mu Li pinched the tip of her nose, and the words in her mouth were brought into the ditch: "I'm afraid of you......"
"Sad, isn't it?" Lin Qing narrowed the corners of his eyes, as if grabbing the man's little tail, "Orange Cheng has his reasons for doing this, and even if there is something, I want to hear you say it in person." ”
Her gaze pierced people's hearts like a needle, and Mu Li had no choice but to raise her eyes: "Don't stare at me so seriously, I didn't do anything." ”
"What are you nervous about? I'll just talk about it. Lin Qing pursed his lips, jumped off the platform with Mu Li's arm, and paused on his arm with his palm before leaving.
"Look at you, it looks like you're taking it seriously."
Some content flashed in Lin Qing's eyes, but he couldn't see it really, and it only flickered and then scattered without a trace.
It's still early, but at five or six o'clock, the sky is completely dark, the black curtain is spread out in front of you like splashing ink, the lights around are around, the street lamps downstairs play a clear yellow halo, the sky is misty with light rain, and the light and mist are like a bright moon.
Lin Qing looked down and saw a pile of cigarette butts at the man's feet, reflecting the night, his shoulders seemed to bear greater responsibility and exhaustion, Lin Qing pulled the cigarette that he lit again from his fingers, he was not so addicted to smoking before.
"Smoke less." She unskillfully extinguished the cigarette butt, almost burning her fingers.
"Hmm." Mu Li blocked her hand.
Lin Qing glanced at it, hid the cigarette case he put on the table in his pocket, and confiscated it along with the lighter, Mu Li looked at her decent face when she touched something, only hooked her lips, and seemed to smile instead of smiling.
"Go back, it's cold outside." Lin Qing did this series of actions quite naturally, put her palm to her lips and sighed, she was deliberately exaggerating to show him, staying with him, how could he have a chance to be frozen.
"Cold?" The man raised his eyebrows, took her hand and sent it somewhere, "Give you warmth." ”
Fortunately, no one could see it when it was dark, and he was so blatantly doing such a faceless and skinless action on the balcony, just two words, underwhelming.
"You're serious."
Lin Qing wanted to slap his hand off, but failed, Mu Li led her into the house, and just after walking a few steps, he heard a loud sound of a vase exploding outside the door.
"What sound?" Lin Qing didn't react, he stayed where he was, Mu Li rushed to the door quickly, and when he opened the door, Lin Qing also saw it, and the housekeeper hurriedly trotted over in front of the man.
"What's going on?"
The babysitter followed, shaking her head, seemingly unaware.
Lin Qing followed, Orange Orange poked his head out of the small room, seeing this, Lin Qing waved his hand at him, Orange Orange ran over with cotton slippers and grabbed Lin Qing's palm: "Mommy, there is a loud noise, is it from Grandpa's room?" ”
Lin Qing was afraid that there would be a quarrel scene, so he took Chengcheng back to the room and asked him to stay in the house obediently: "Grandpa accidentally broke something and is cleaning it up, don't make trouble." ”
"What did you break?" Orange Cheng was obviously restless, and his hands and feet wanted to get out from under Lin Qing's arm to take a look.
The child's curiosity can't be extinguished, the more it is covered up, the more it can be stimulated, Lin Qing is helpless: "The vase is broken, there are fragments all over the ground, and the orange orange will prick the heart of the foot in the past." ”
"I'm not afraid, Daddy said that men should be strong."
"Hmm." Lin Qing also listened to the movement outside the door, distracted his attention, and said casually, "Daddy just said that if Orange Orange passes, he won't be able to sleep with Daddy in the future." ”
This trick has been tried and tested, Cheng Cheng really stood up straight with his back obediently, Lin Qing watched her son always be so obedient to men's words, but she didn't know how useless it was.
She shaved her little orange nose, closed the door as she left, and turned around to meet the man's eyes.
For a moment, it was as if I saw the grief and sadness in his eyes.
Mu Li stood outside the door, staring at the scene inside, his thin lips pursed, he didn't walk in, just looked at it, there was a deep emotional surge at the bottom of the pool, but it didn't break out.
Approaching, Lin Qing heard the voice inside, only Shen Yuhe's trembling voice was revealed, revealing an unbelievable despair: "You say, even if you have a suitable heart, you won't accept it?" ”
No one spoke, but Mu Yonghao must have responded, Shen Yuhe's voice quickly lengthened and thinned, and even the tone changed sharply: "Why?" How could you suddenly have such an idea? ”
"Yuhe, I didn't make a sudden decision." Mu Yonghao said this, probably thinking about how to say it to be a reason, he paused for a moment, looked through the room, and saw Mu Li appear at the door.
The obscurity and helplessness in his eyes were all in the eyes of men.
Shen Yuhe's eyes were red, and he was no longer as emotional as he was just now, but his voice was still trembling: "The doctor said that if there is salvation, there must be salvation, why should you give up?" You don't want this home anymore? ”
"How can I not want this home, but this matter, let it be, instead of wasting time in impossible places, it is better to accompany you well during the last time."
"Where it is impossible, if you don't give up, there is hope."
Shen Yuhe's stubbornness is not unreasonable, despite taking risks, as long as there is hope, people will not be crushed.
"I've already decided, Mu Li also knows about this matter." After Mu Yonghao said this, it was not only Shen Yuhe who was surprised, but even Lin Qing couldn't hide his surprise.
looked at Mu Li, but he couldn't see any superfluous emotions in his eyes, as if everything was shielded and disguised so well, along with his sorrow, disappeared without a trace.
Shen Yuhe still didn't give up, this was not only a decision, but also related to Mu Yonghao's life, but now she was so easily said to give up, she really couldn't understand.
"But you ......," Shen Yuhe was interrupted before he finished speaking.
"I also talked to Lao Li, and he supported my decision."
Mu Yonghao took her hand and sat down on the edge of the bed, he made a look, the nanny finished cleaning up the kettle fragments and exited the room, just now Shen Yuhe was pouring water, and when he heard the news, he broke the jade kettle by mistake.
Shen Yuhe had no room for buffering at all, this decision, Mu Yonghao didn't even give her a chance to discuss, he just let her listen, even if it was decided.
Shen Yuhe leaned on Mu Yonghao's chest, listening to the sound of her heart beating, holding back her tears with red eyes, she didn't dare to cry, for fear that everything would come true if she cried.
How could it not be cruel to extinguish even her last hope with her own hands?
Mu Li turned around and walked away expressionlessly, this scene was really ironic.
Lin Qing vaguely heard a rough idea, and asked with her mouth to hide her surprise, Mu Li took her back to the room, she wanted to look back, and her head was turned back.
"Leave it alone." His tone was cold, cold to the bottom of his heart.
The rain was pouring incessantly, the road surface was quickly wet, and the night was cold to the bones, and few people went out.
Lin Qing held an umbrella to block the rain falling above the man's head, and the rain slid along the umbrella and dripped in strings.
She put her hand on the man's shoulder, very lightly: "You asked me at that time, I am not sure if I should tell my mother, is it because my father is hiding this from my mother?" ”
When you think about the situation, it's easy to connect the two things. It makes sense for Lin Qing to think so.
Mu Li didn't answer, standing on the steps and staring into the night, his eyes were infinitely far away.
He had never heard of this matter at all, if it weren't for Shen Yuhe breaking things and making a noise, he would probably be the last one to know about it in the future.
Lin Qing thought that this was a tacit acquiescence.
"In fact, for my mother, I may know in my heart that there is little hope, but to say it is completely hopeless." Lin Qing stood on the upper steps, which was enough to prop the umbrella above his head, "It's normal for Dad to do this, and Mom can't accept it." ”
"He's just selfish." Mu Li said coldly, his eyes were cold, and the voice behind him was covered by the suddenly amplified sound of rain, I don't know if Lin Qing heard it, he was dark at the bottom of the pool, "But no matter how selfish he is, he is still my father." ”
The cigarette between his fingers had long been extinguished, Mu Li didn't light it again, and he didn't mean to smoke it, he shook off the cigarette butt and took a step down the steps.
The reputation of the Mu family in City A is unparalleled, and any action will be important, and when those scandals are really exposed, it may turn the world upside down, and now Mu Yonghao has taken the initiative to confess for the first time, just to let him block all possible turmoil in the future.
But Mu Yonghao thought too simple and threw the most difficult choice to him.
Lin Qing only thought that this matter must have been pressed in Mu Li's heart, otherwise he would not have been so depressed since he came back, not to mention him, even she was surprised when she heard those words, I am afraid that when Mu Li knew about it, her heart would be a thousand times more uncomfortable.
The cold wind was blowing, and getting into all the holes was like falling into an ice cellar, Lin Qing came out in a hurry and only wore a sweater and was put on a man's coat, but he was standing in the wind and rain, and he was more distressed than being frozen.
Mu Li put his hands in his pockets and remained motionless, Lin Qing moved the umbrella away a little and hugged his shoulders from behind: "In the next period of time, let's accompany them more." ”
Mu Li pressed her hand: "Are you used to living?" If we don't get used to it, we'll go back. ”
At this time, all matters in the family must be supported by men, and it is naturally impossible to go back, and it is unbearable to run at both ends every day, Lin Qing shook his head, and the warm palm covered the back of his hand: "It's not appropriate to go now, these days, just live at home, I think, Mom will feel better when she sees you by her side." ”
Will it feel good?
It's just a cover for all the sadness.
Lin Qing put the wet clothes in the basket, and after taking a bath, he saw Mu Li coming back from outside.
"Orange Orange slept?"
The man nodded, threw his phone aside, and walked over to wipe Lin Qing's hair. Slender fingers flicked between the long hair, and Lin Qing sat on the edge of the bed and raised his head slightly.
"Orange still wants to sleep with you today."
"It's time for him to be independent." His answer was audible absent-minded.
When Lin Qing heard this, she stopped making a sound, knowing that he had something in his heart, as long as she accompanied him quietly at this time, she didn't need to think about the rest.
Lin Qing saw that the time was not early, and no one was in the mood to celebrate anything, and the man didn't care about that day at all. As if the calm before the storm, there was always a sense of danger that was slowly approaching, and the entire Mu family was depressed and gloomy, looking up, and not seeing the sun.
Mu Yonghao's words undoubtedly pierced a thorn in everyone's heart, nailing all hope to the board called despair.
