Chapter 228: Selfish Arrangement (I)
... Starting from the one that Xu Changqing and others appeared. Sheng Qing Jiang's attention was on them. She naturally knew Long Jinbao, who had lived in Tianjin for a long time, and was also surprised that this de facto ruler in the Zhili area would become Xu Changqing's disciple. The chaos that ensued made her quickly realize that the reason why those guests were so out of shape was definitely related to Long Jinbao and the others, so she stepped forward and asked Chen Zhenshan, who was standing in place, "Is Changqing leading you here to sabotage the biggest thing in his daughter's life?"
"Sister Qingping, this is none of my business with An, this is all done by Senior Brother Long. Chen Zhenshan shrugged his shoulders, with a helpless look, I didn't hesitate to sell Long Jinbao, and then without waiting for Sheng Qingping to ask anything else, he pulled Andy towards the bridal dressing room at the end of the church corridor in the name of seeing the bride.
Seeing that Chen Zhenshan, who was nearly half a hundred years old, was still the same as he was back then, Sheng Qingping couldn't help but smile and shook her head, and then regained her normal color, and instructed the servants to help those out of shape guests to other empty rooms, and ordered people to get some change of clothes for these people. After everything was taken care of, she did not replace the male hosts of the two families to receive guests in the church, but when talking to the guests, her eyes were always a little worried at the side hall room that Xu Changqing and Dong Zhenyu walked into.
In that room, the conversation that worried Sheng Qingping had not yet appeared, and it had been a while since she came in, and Dong Zhenyu did not speak. Just looking at Xu Changqing, as if organizing the language, Xu Changqing didn't speak, sat on the wooden chair in the room, and looked at Dong Zhenyu.
It wasn't until the loud noise outside the door came that Dong Zhenyu took a deep breath, as if he had mustered up his courage, and asked Xu Changqing, "Will you take Qingping with you this time?"
Xu Changqi was stunned and asked rhetorically, "Why do you think so?"
"What else can I think?" Dong Zhenyu was a little embarrassed in his tone, and he didn't care about Xu Changqing's ability and identity, and said bluntly: "In Qing Jiang's heart, I have always been just a substitute for you, although we have been husband and wife for thirty years, but I know that Qing Luo has never loved me, she just regards me as a harbor to rely on." But I didn't feel unhappy, I knew that I was far from the husband she wanted to be, and I didn't deserve her at all, so I didn't dare to ask for anything, as long as she could stay with me. The reason why I am willing to give up my domestic qiē to come to the United States, a foreign country, to start from scratch is to avoid a qiē related to you, and only in this way will Qingping belong to me alone. ”
Xu Changqing could feel Dong Zhenyu's tangled mood and sighed softly. "You don't really have to. ”
"It's really not necessary to do this, and it's useless to do it. Dong Zhenyu's slightly excited expression just now suddenly calmed down again. The whole person sat on the sofa and said, "But I didn't expect fate to always be so wonderful." Even if you come here, you still can't cut off your connection. Since knowing that you appeared in San Francisco and would attend Guanqing's wedding, Qingping couldn't calm down, although she said on the surface that it was because of Guanqing and me, but in fact it was because of you. When she went out to see you last night, I was standing by the window of the study and watching her leave in the car, I didn't stop it, and I knew it didn't work, I could only wait, I could only wait for her to come back. After midnight, she came back, and when she came back, she became so young, so beautiful, and the expression on her face was so happy, that radiant look I hadn't seen in thirty years, and this change was only because I went to see you, and I felt that I might be going to lose her, I"
"You don't have anything to lose. Xu Changqing shook his head and interrupted Dong Zhenyu's words, and then said calmly and bluntly: "I can't hide it, I really wanted to leave with mercy last night, but unfortunately mercy had already made a decision before I opened my mouth." A trace of regret flashed in Xu Changqing's eyes, and he turned his head to look at the wall on the side, and the wall that seemed to penetrate his eyes fell on Sheng Qingping outside, and said: "Her decision is right, we are all past the age of being willful and moving as we wish, there are too many people and things in the world to form a net of concern, a wall that cannot be avoided, dragging our footsteps and blocking us from approaching." I'm an extremely selfish person, I can ignore a qiē in order to achieve my wishes, as long as I am willing, even the destruction of heaven and earth can't stop me, but mercy is not like me, she is always just a mortal. Last night, I knew that if I spoke, mercy would leave with me, but in the end I chose to remain silent and respect her decision, which I owe her. ”
"Her decision?" Dong Zhenyu didn't understand Xu Changqing's words for a while, but soon he came to his senses, stepped forward and grabbed Xu Changqing's hand with an excited face, and said: "You mean that Qingping chose to stay for me, and she was like that yesterday and it was all for me?" ”
Looking at Dong Zhenyu in front of him, Xu Changqing suddenly felt a little pitiful for this. Man, feeling that the purpose of his existence is to become a substitute for himself. Knowing that his beloved wife loves someone else, and his affection for him is only friendship and responsibility accumulated over many years, he can't make any changes, he can only wait for others to give him alms like a beggar, and even a small sign of charity can make him so happy. It's pathetic and pathetic. So for his self-righteous speculation, Xu Changqing did not intend to tell the truth and let him live in an illusion. It's better than taking the blow of reality.
Xu Changqing stood up, did not disturb Dong Zhenyu, who was carried away by joy, and walked out of the room. At this time, Sheng Qingping, who had been paying attention to this room, immediately got out of the crowd of guests and walked in front of Xu Changqing. He asked urgently, "What did you talk about inside?"
"What do you think we'll talk about inside?" Xu Changqing looked at Sheng Qingping, who was a little nervous, with a smile and said.
"Did you have anything from last night," Sheng Qing Jiang asked in a low voice, but a few guests who came up interrupted her.
Xu Changqing also didn't like people approaching them, so he raised his hand and made a blocking gesture, and an invisible force immediately surrounded the two of them, and anyone who approached would be affected by this force, and inexplicably changed his mind and turned around to go elsewhere. Subsequently, Xu Changqing truthfully told Sheng Qing Jiang about the conversation between the two just now. After hearing this, Sheng Qingping couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, her eyes looked at the room, there was a hint of shame in her sight, and she muttered to herself: "I'm really sorry for him!
"Since it's done, there's nothing that shouldn't be. Xu Changqing interrupted Sheng Qingping's self-blame, then looked at her lower abdomen and asked, "Our son will be born next year, how do you plan to cover up the past?"
