Chapter 396: 396, Epilogue 27. If there is anything that you feel sad about, just tell me. Don't make things difficult for yourself
Author: Qin Ruoxu Machine Translation
The sunlight particles that were as fine as dust poured onto her body, as if they were coated with a layer of hazy and dazzling golden light. It was so beautiful that one could not take their eyes off of it.
A few seconds later, the man's pair of iron arms propped up on both sides of the woman's body. Then, he lowered his tall body, and his sharp thin lips kissed her forehead, between her eyebrows, the bridge of her nose, and her beautiful jawline Only then did he slowly end this warm and affectionate action.
He kept murmuring to her, man man, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... ...
The sunlight outside the window had already begun to tilt to the West, turning into a deep orange color. When it fell on the floor, it was cut into small pieces by the grid on the window.
He stepped on those warm orange-red shadows and left, gradually disappearing outside the door of the room. His back was tall and straight, and there was a hint of desolation in it.
...
When Qiao man woke up, it was already 11:41 pm in the middle of the night.
The entire villa was pitch-black. She sat up, her watery eyes, which had fallen into the stars, adapted to the darkness in the room for a while. Then, she took advantage of the dim lights that flooded in through the French windows that had not been closed She took a glance at the outline of the furniture in the room.
Those memories before she went to sleep, along with the familiar scene and space, flooded in like a tidal wave.
Her consciousness gradually returned. She reached out to cover her head that was in pain and shook it hard. Then, she lifted the blanket and got off the bed barefooted. She had just run two steps when her legs went soft, and she fell onto the floor in a very embarrassing position.
At that moment, there was only one thought in her mind. He had left her behind and used the method she disliked the most.
She did not believe it, and she did not dare to believe it.
In the middle of the night, she fell onto the floor with a loud sound. It was so loud that Xie Zhiqian, who was standing guard outside the door, heard the sound and hurriedly pushed open the door and ran in.
Qiao man lay on the floor and did not move for a long time. Xie Zhiqian ran to her side in a few big strides. Then, he reached out his big hand to help her up, but she shook her head and refused.
Outside the half-open door, there were all the dim yellow shadows that leaked in, making her petite figure look even thinner and thinner.
Her disheveled hair fell haphazardly on the side of her head, almost covering her entire face. No one could see her expression and emotions clearly.
Xie Zhiqian stood there in a daze for a few seconds. He did not make any movements, and he did not even know how to comfort her.
The Moment Xie Zhiqian rushed in from outside the room, Qiao man had already soberly realized that the short-lived guesses she had made from the moment she woke up to the moment she fell to the ground had all come true.
Therefore, it was really too late. He had already left and arranged all the escape routes for her.
It seemed that they always pushed each other away when they were at their best, and they never left any room for each other.
Xie Zhiqian waited for a few more seconds. Seeing that she still had no reaction or movement, he took a deep breath and said slowly, "man man, the ground is cold. What's there to be sad about? Tell me, don't make things difficult for yourself. "
There were no tears in Qiao Man's eyes, but she felt that the whole world was hazy and blurry, even distorted, including all the furniture and furnishings in the room, as well as all the sensing lights that came in through the half-open door It was like a movie shot with filters and virtual lights.
"I'm fine. "
After about ten seconds, Qiao man finally stood up, without Xie Zhiqian's help.
When she stood up, she smiled at Xie Zhiqian, who was sitting opposite her. "Just now, it was probably because the effects of the sleeping pills had not worn off yet, and my head was very dizzy and painful, so I fell down. I'm fine now. You can go out, I want to sleep for a while more. "
Xie Zhiqian looked at the woman in front of him who looked very calm, and after a long while, he said calmly, "Man man, the border is constantly in conflict, and there are often stray bullets. Ji Yunshen doesn't want you to follow him, and he has his own considerations. I can understand if you're disappointed, but don't be too hard on yourself... "
"I understand, I won't. "
Qiao man slightly raised her eyes and met Xie Zhiqian's eyes, which were as deep as the night. "I just feel that it's a pity that we always miss each other in such a way when each other is at their best. "
Xie Zhiqian understood, and he also understood Qiao Man's meaning.
It wasn't easy for her to let down her guard, and she wanted to give him a full response, even if what awaited them this time was death.
However, he did not. He wanted to love her in another way.
Instead of a full response.
She was just a little disappointed, but she did not dwell on it.
"Man man, a good love can withstand the passing of time. Of course, it can also withstand the test. The two of you have already become the best version of yourselves in love and understand each other. I think you will understand his feelings even if I don't tell you. "
Qiao man nodded her head gently. "Yes, I understand. "
Her head was still very dizzy and painful. After the hard fall on the floor just now, it was even more painful.
At this moment, she did not have the extra energy to say anything to Xie Zhiqian. She gently waved her hand and walked over to the side of the big bed.
Xie Zhiqian watched her lie down on the bed again and fall into a deep sleep before he turned around and left.
After Xie Zhiqian left the room, Qiao man slowly opened her eyes.
The neon lights in the city at the foot of the mountain gradually connected into a sea of red, red, and green. She watched for a very long time before she felt sleepy again and fell into a deep sleep.
...
Ji Yunshen's mission at the border this time had still met with an accident. As the leader of the First Army, although he had gloriously completed the mission given by the organization in the rain of bullets, he had suffered very serious injuries.
The remnants of the armed forces at the border had raided the military base where Ji Yunshen and the others were at before the country sent reinforcements. As the leader of the mission this time, Ji Yunshen had also disappeared in the surprise attack of the armed forces.
People said that he had been captured by the armed forces and became a prisoner. Some people also said that he... ... died ...
Just like what everyone had speculated after he had an accident during his last mission.
Today, a few years later, it was as if the scene from back then had been repeated.
When Qiao man first heard the news, she could not sleep, she could not eat, and she was not in the mood to work. In just a short week, she had lost a lot of weight.
She did not believe it. She did not believe it at all.
Everyone said that she was deceiving herself, but even if she was deceiving herself, she wanted to continue living like this.
During this period, Fu Qingshan had been sending people to look for Ji Yunshen, using all the forces he could use to find out JI yunshen's whereabouts. He had almost turned the border upside down, but there was no news at all.
Ji Han's sentence was also handed down this weekend. According to Ji Yunshen's previous intention, she was sentenced to thirty-five years.
This meant that she would have to spend most of her life in prison.
He did not want her to pay with her life, but used this long sentence as punishment.
It was better to live with pain than to die with relief.
Half a month after Ji Yunshen's accident, Qiao man started to cheer up. Only by being strong could she give his parents and grandfather some comfort and take good care of Tian Tian.
The days seemed to have returned to the way they used to be. However, she knew clearly that the days would never be as good as before.
Half a month later, Qiao man received a call from Mu Xi. She said that Ji Donghe did not have much time left. She hoped that she could bring Tian Tian to the hospital to visit him.
After Qiao man heard it, she agreed to Mu Xi's request without any hesitation.
There was not much she could do for Ji Yunshen now. If she could make his family happy before he came back, it would be a small favor to her.
Although she did not know if he could still come back.
It was the end of September in forest city, and it was already starting to feel cold.
It was raining heavily today. The rain was accompanied by a cool wind, and when it blew on the body, it was bone-chilling.
After Qiao man drove to the kindergarten to pick up Tian Tian, she drove to the high-class private hospital where Ji Donghe was.
Tian Tian Lay on the hospital bed, looking withered. His eyes, which used to be full of vigor and vigor, had become lifeless and gloomy. He was so weak that he could leave this world at any time.
When Qiao Man walked in with Tian Tian, Tian Tian was looking at the rain outside the window. When he heard the sound of the ward door being pushed open, he turned his head as fast as he could, and as soon as he said that sentence, he took it back.
His eyes, which had become bright in an instant, also dimmed.
She led Tian Tian to the bedside and placed the fruit basket and flower basket that she had bought on the road between the fruit basket and flower basket. Then, she looked down at Tian Tian and said gently, "Tian Tian, quickly greet great-grandfather. "
"great-grandfather. "
Tian Tian only knew that Ji Yunshen had gone abroad on a business trip and would be back for a long time.
Ji Ming and Mu Xi had been very busy recently. Every day, they cooperated with Fu Qingshan and searched for Ji Yunshen with all their might. They did not have time to take Tian Tian to the old mansion to get close to Ji Donghe Moreover, children were more afraid of the old man who was lying on the bed. In her impression, great-grandfather was not like this.
Great-grandfather's back was very straight. He held the walking stick with the dragon head in his hand, looking very majestic.
He was not lying on the bed now, looking very weak.
Ji Donghe nodded weakly. He wanted to raise his hand to touch Tian Tian's little face, but halfway through, he fell on the hospital bed because he did not have the strength.
He took a long time to recover before he said in a weak voice, "Qiao Man, thank you. Thank you for doing all these things for Xiao Shen after his accident. "
Qiao man pursed her lips and raised her head slightly to push away the warmth and moisture in her eyes. After a few seconds, she finally said, "GRANDPA, I have to do all these things for you. " "GRANDPA, this is what I should do. You don't have to bear too much psychological burden. The most important thing now is to take good care of your body and wait for... his return. "
She and his family were looking forward to his return every day. However, in the blink of an eye, more than two months had passed, and there was still no news of him. This kind of despair and state of mind made one have to think of the worst.
Moreover, Ji Yunshen was the only person in charge of the new generation of the JI family, and it was related to the rise and fall of the JI family. If something really happened to him, it meant that the JI family would go downhill The title of the number one Red Army in forest city would also cease to exist.
Ji Donghe smiled with difficulty, and then said, "well, I hope my body can wait for him to come back. "
How long could he last? Even the doctor estimated that it would not be good.
In the past week, he had already sent several critical notices to his family members.
Perhaps with his tenacious willpower, he would be able to hold on for more than ten to twenty days. Perhaps... ... He wouldn't even be able to hold on for a day ...
At this moment, his mental state was quite good, and he chatted with her for quite a while.
It wasn't until Qiao Man's phone in her pocket vibrated that she lowered her head and took out her phone from her pocket. She instructed Tian Tian to stay in her great-grandfather's ward and not to move. She wanted to answer the call, and after giving her instructions, she apologized to Ji Donghe.. Only then did she turn around and hurriedly walk out of the ward.
She closed the ward door and saw that the lit up screen displayed a string of unfamiliar phone numbers. She could not help but frown. After hesitating for two seconds, she slid down the answer button.
Almost the next second after she slid down the answer button, a soft and pleasant female voice was heard. Moreover, it was a very familiar voice. It was Ji Han.
"Miss Ji Han called me? Is something the matter? "
Qiao man originally wanted to directly cut off the phone communication, but Ji Han's words contained too many things that could arouse her curiosity, so she suppressed her annoyance and listened to Ji Han's words.
After Ji Han was sent to prison, she had a ten-minute call to visit her family every week, and this time, she left it to Qiao Man.
"Of course. "
Ji Han stood in the phone booth that was less than a square meter, and her voice was as elegant as ever. "I wonder if Miss Qiao is interested in AH SHEN'S DISAPPEARANCE? "
"Ji Han, what exactly do you want to say? "
The Ward was very quiet, so quiet that when Qiao Man's voice called Ji Han's name, it reached the ears of Ji Donghe, who was lying on the hospital bed.
He looked at Tian Tian, who was obediently waiting for Qiao man by the bed, and then said, "Tian Tian, great-grandfather feels that the ward is a little stuffy. Can you help great-grandfather open the ward door a little? "
"Of course, great-grandfather. Tian Tian, go help great-grandfather open the ward door now. "
"Ah, thank you, Tian Tian. "
Tian Tian said that she was not polite and quickly walked to the ward door and opened it.
After Tian Tian opened the ward door, Qiao Man's words entered Ji Donghe's ears without missing a word.
"Ji Han, what other tricks do you want to play... "
Before Qiao man could finish, Ji Han interrupted her, "Qiao Man, I'll give you three seconds to consider. If you still don't have any interest in my words, I'll hang up on you... "
As she spoke, Ji Han started counting down, "three, two, one... "
Qiao man took a deep breath, but she still couldn't resist the temptation in her words.
"Ji Han, I'm sure you know that my current background is the entire JI family. If you dare to lie to me, I'll double your sentence... "
"It's alright, Qiao Man. "
Ji Han interrupted Qiao man once again. Her voice was soft and greasy, carrying with it the pride of a socialite who had been tainted by the upper class.
"thirty-five years, or seventy years, it doesn't make any difference to me. In any case, it's impossible for me to escape from this place for the rest of my life. "
Her tone was light and Airy, as if she had already seen through everything, and had only brushed everything off lightly.
Speaking up to this point, Ji Han smiled. "So, it's better for three people to suffer than for me to suffer alone. Don't you agree? "
When Qiao man heard her slightly provocative words, her delicate eyebrows almost instantly furrowed into a ball. "Ji Han, if you have anything to say, say it quickly. I don't have time to listen to your long-winded nonsense. "
When Ji Han heard the anger in her tone, the corners of her lips curled up slightly. "Why? Are you angry just like that? "
After saying this, she said after a long while, "Qiao Man, when Ah Shen lowered himself to coax you, I've never seen you look so impatient. Now, you're giving me such a look. Are you prepared to treat me differently? "
Qiao man took another deep breath and only spoke after a few seconds "Ji Han, let's talk about the facts. Ji Yunshen and I have never let you down in any way. If we can't make you understand even after paying such a huge price for the rest of your life, then what difference does it make whether you're alive or dead? "
Ji Han was completely unaffected by her words. She said again, "Qiao Man, do you know why Ah Shen was seriously injured? Do you know who hurt her? "
"It was Ji Donghe... "
When she said this, Ji Han deliberately paused for a moment. After a while, she continued "Do you still remember his old lover, Yun comb? " The Yun family was the one who leaked the news of the border operation this time. If Ah Shen could not escape this time, no one had to blame him. If anyone was to blame, they could only blame him for his sins. Why did he have to have a girlfriend when he was married to his wife... "...". ..
The Ward was too quiet. It was so quiet that Ji Donghe could hear every word that came out of the earpiece.
He struggled in excitement, trying to sit up. In the end, he gave up struggling and rolled on the ground.
Qiao man heard the loud noise coming from the ward and ran in hurriedly. She helped Ji Donghe stand up. "GRANDPA, are you okay? "
"Girl, give me the phone. I want to talk to this ungrateful ingrate. "
Qiao man turned the phone around. She really wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, but even so, she could not stop Ji Han's voice from coming out of the earpiece "Qiao man, why are you pretending to be a filial son? Give him the phone. I want to see what words can come out of someone who has buried his head in the dirt. "
Qiao man really wanted to tell Ji Han to shut up, but her words kept coming from the other end of the receiver. Ji Donghe stretched out his long arm, swiftly and agilely snatched the phone from her hand and put it beside his ear "Ji Han, repeat what you just said. "
"Okay, I can repeat it a hundred times. But before I repeat it, I want to tell you a piece of good news. Ah Shen's military base was raided by the border armed forces. Most of the credit was done by the Yun family that you trained. "
"Shen didn't care about the friendship between the two families and uprooted the Yun family from the military and political world. That's why the consequences are like this. "
"In the end, Shen will be in trouble today. You're the one who started it... "
Qiao man could already tell that Ji Han was saying these words to provoke Ji Donghe.
She quickly reached out to snatch the phone from Ji Donghe's hand. "GRANDPA, don't listen to her nonsense. Give me the phone. "
Ji Donghe shook his head at her and waved his hand. "It's okay. Let her continue. My Heart's endurance isn't limited to this little bit. "
Qiao Man's beautiful brows furrowed deeply. She knew that it was too late to stop him now.
Ji Han said a lot more, but Ji Donghe easily retorted back. Only when he mentioned Zhou Lanqing and Yun Shu did he remain silent. Qiao man knew that Ji Donghe's weak points were Zhou Lanqing and... Yun Shu
"Ji Donghe, I've called you grandfather for more than ten years. Although I don't have any feelings for you, I still have a lot of true feelings for grandma. It's a pity that she only treats me as a dog raised by your JI family. She can wave me around as she pleases. More than ten years, more than ten years. I wouldn't even dream that my existence is no different from a dog. "
Ji Donghe closed his weathered eyes. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Ji Han say something on the other end of the phone "Grandfather, let me tell you one more thing. I've been poisoning Zhou Lanqing for a long time. Although she deserved to die, I still have to tell you so that you won't be kept in the dark by Ji Yunshen, Qiao Man, Mu Xi, and Ji Ming. You won't be able to go underground to see Zhou Lanqing... ... ..."
Every word Ji Han said was like a knife, stabbing fiercely into JI Donghe's heart.
Ji Yunshen, Mu Xi, and Ji Ming had never told Ji Donghe the cause of Zhou Lanqing's death.
He had always thought that Zhou Lanqing's death was because Qiao man had mistakenly injected Zhou Lanqing with glucocorticoids. He had never thought that Zhou Lanqing's true cause of death was because of Ji Han.
Ji Donghe's body swayed, and Qiao man quickly reached out to support him. "GRANDPA, don't listen to her. She's lying to you, she's lying to you... "
After hearing Qiao Man's comforting words, Ji Han immediately said, "GRANDPA, I swear that everything I said just now was the truth, not the slightest bit of falsehood. "
Ji Donghe's big hand covered his chest, his face already showing a very painful expression. Qiao man hurriedly snatched the phone from his hand and cut off the phone communication.
However, Ji Donghe still fell for Ji Han's trick. Twenty minutes after this phone call ended, he left this world.
Qiao Man's eyes were red, but there were no tears at all.
After Mu Xi and Ji Ming received the news from the hospital, they quickly rushed over. Qiao man curled up on the long row of chairs outside the ward. When Mu Xi and Ji Ming got closer, she said in a low voice, "Ji Ming, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. " "Father, mother, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, grandfather wouldn't have left so quickly... "
On the way, Mu Xi and Ji Ming had already understood the reason for Ji Donghe's sudden death. They didn't blame Qiao Man, they only blamed Ji Han's scheming.
All these years, they had watched their child grow up. How could he have become so terrifying?
He was almost unscrupulous in taking revenge on the JI family.
Mu Xi sat beside Qiao man and reached out to pat her shoulder. "Man man, it's not your fault. If you want to blame someone, blame Ji Han for being too scheming. He couldn't even stay in prison... "
Thirty-five years. How many thirty-five years could a person live.
She had once thought that such a punishment was enough, but now it seemed that it was far from enough.
