The woman's slender figure was shrouded in the shadows of the lanterns falling from the ceiling, revealing a pitiful and weak figure.
Song Qishan shouted, "Song Guo, stop right there! "
Song Guo did not react at all. She did not even stop in her tracks.
Song Qishan took a few steps forward and grabbed her slender wrist. Then, he pulled hard, and Song Guo fell to the floor filled with broken porcelain pieces as expected "Song Guo, don't think that you can break free from the shackles of the song family just because Mu Yuanqiao has appeared to support you. I'm telling you, as long as your surname is song, you have to do your best for the song family. This is your fate. You have to learn to accept it. "
"Is that so? What if I refuse to accept it? "
Before today, although she wasn't very grateful to her father, she didn't hate him too much. However, at this moment, she actually felt a deep hatred.
"President Song, why don't you kill me! "
No one would always be controlled by a person who was insatiable. She had been enduring patiently, hoping that one day, she would be strong enough to leave this family that had already lost its humanity without anyone's help.
However, it was obvious that she wasn't strong enough. Since she wasn't strong enough, she could only go the other way.
Song Qishan slowly squatted down on his slightly fat body. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Song Guo, who looked like she had nothing left to live for. "Kill you? Why should I kill you? "
"Do you know... the most painful way is to see her love but not be able to get it? "
Love but not be able to get it?
As for Lin Nancheng, wasn't it just love but not be able to get it?
"What do you want? "
"It's very simple. " Song Qishan reached out and pinched Song Guo's sharp jawbone. His voice was low and hoarse "If you give me two hundred million, I will allow you to break off your blood relationship with the song family. From now on, no matter what happens to the song family, it will have nothing to do with you! "
"President Song, are you that confident that your illegitimate daughter is worth 200 million? Do you think all the men in Lin City are fools? "
Song Qishan took out his phone from his pocket and handed it to her. "Call Mu Yuanqiao now. I think he will obediently send 200 million. Guoguo, you are already so old. I don't think I need to teach you how to choose between freedom and shackles, right? "
Freedom and shackles?
One step forward was freedom, and one step back was shackles.
However, she did not seem to have any bargaining chips for freedom, nor did she have the ability to break free from the shackles.
"What if I don't fight? "
Song Qishan smiled indifferently, but his smile did not reach his eyes. Instead, it was somewhat sinister and terrifying. "The answer to this question is even simpler. Your grandparents will die tonight. "
"Song Qishan, are you still a human? You are simply a beast worse than a pig or dog. You would do anything for money. Aren't you afraid of having nightmares when you dream in the middle of the night? "
Song Qishan shook his head. "I'm not even afraid of death. Why do I care about the eyes of the secular world? ! "
The Song Qishan in front of him no longer had the glory and kindness of humanity, much less the enthusiasm and humility he had when he first became a businessman. Now, he was a devil from hell, just to squeeze the last drop of blood from the people around him.
Even if he would lose everything in the end, even if he would be deserted by his family, he would not hesitate.
"You're simply a madman! "
Song Qishan sneered. "I've already given you the choice, so you should know what to do, right? "
Outside the French window, the sound of a car engine could be heard, accompanied by some noisy human voices. The two people in the room were still immersed in the emotions of father and daughter fighting, so they did not hear the fierce fighting outside.
The skin on Song Guo's leg was scratched by the broken porcelain pieces, and blood was flowing out of the wound.
She did not know if it was because of the cold or because she was scared by Song Qishan. Her whole body began to tremble, and even her hand, which was about to pick up the phone, was shaking terribly.
Song Qishan raised his eyebrows and looked at her. He snorted coldly, "Guo Guo, I don't have so much patience now. You'd better hurry up! "
Song Guo finally took his phone and found the name Mu Yuanqiao, but she could not press the call button. Maybe she really was not suitable to ask for help.
Especially that person, who had hurt her deeply in the past.
Not to mention whether he would help her or not, even if she wanted to draw a clear line with him, even if she wanted to die of old age, she would not be able to ask for help.
Two hundred million was not a small amount. Mu Yuanqiao did not have the obligation to help her.
"If you can solve the problem with just one word, do you have to sacrifice your grandparents' lives to be willing? "
Song Qishan's words were undoubtedly a dose of medicine for her, who was still hesitating. A dose of medicine that she had no choice but to make the call!
Should she accept her fate?
Or rather, from the time she was 18 years old and accidentally fell into Lin Nancheng's bed, she should have accepted her fate.
Song Guo pressed the call button with difficulty. At the second the phone beeped, her heart began to beat like a drum, as if it could jump out of her chest at any time.
She was nervous and also felt humiliated.
She didn't know if it was because the heavens pitied her or if she didn't have that fate with Mu Yuanqiao, but in the end, the call ended with an automatic hang-up.
Song Qishan asked her to continue the call, but she shook her head and smiled. "President Song, I've already done what you asked me to do once. I can't do it again. If you insist on making both sides suffer, I don't mind. "
Her grandparents were the most important and only family she had in this world. She could not watch them die because of her, but if she could not avoid it, she was definitely not someone who would just sit and wait for death.
"Guoguo, you really don't give up until you jump into the Yellow River... "
"President Song, you're wrong. I think it's you who won't give up until you jump into the Yellow River. "
Song Qishan's words were interrupted by Lin Nancheng, who was walking in the opposite direction of the light and shadow. His facial features had a sharp edge, as if he could seriously injure and kill anyone with just a glance.
His body was covered in dust from the fight. It was a rare sight to see him in such a sorry state, but this did not affect his handsomeness. Instead, he had a Languid charm. His entire body was emitting a dazzling light, making it difficult for people to open their eyes.
Song Guo's wounds caused her to frown in pain. However, the moment she lifted her eyes to look at him, all the pain turned into grievance and tears kept flowing out from the bottom of her eyes.
The man saw the bloodstains on the ground at a glance. When the tears came out from the bottom of her eyes, he kicked Song Qishan fiercely.
Song Qishan was completely unprepared. His entire back fell directly onto the porcelain pieces. The piercing pain made him cry out in shock. In the end, it even turned into a wail.
Lin Nancheng walked to Song Guo's side and carefully picked her up. "Are you okay? "
She nodded. "I'm fine! "
After saying that, she directly snuggled into the man's warm and wide embrace, not moving at all.
Lin Nancheng sensed her trembling and fear, so he gently lowered his head and kissed her round and beautiful forehead. "I'm here, I'm fine! "
The woman nodded slightly. No one knew that when this man appeared, her eyes were like sparkling stars, swallowing his breathing and pulse bit by bit. For a second.. He even felt that he could die for her.
Even If... ... He still refused to admit from the bottom of his heart that he had fallen deeply in love with her ...
Song Qishan got up from the floor in a fluster. He pointed at the tall and straight back of the man and began to spout nonsense. It seemed that he was very angry.
"Chief Lin, my song residence is not a place where you can come and go as you wish. Please put down my daughter. I can let bygones be bygones. "
Lin Nancheng snorted coldly. He couldn't even be bothered to say perfunctory words, so he continued to walk towards the door of the study.
Song Qishan was so angry that he stomped his feet. He glanced left and right, then casually picked up a vase and threw it in Lin Nancheng's direction.
In the next second, the vase landed on the man's back and slid down from his back to the ground. With a bang, it gave Song Guo a fright.
She hurriedly stuck her head out from the man's broad embrace. When she saw Song Qishan continue to throw vases and other things at her, she hurriedly said, "Lin Nancheng, he's too emotional now. I'm afraid that he'll do something extreme. Quickly put me down and leave! "
Lin Nancheng did not seem to hear her. He continued to stride forward steadily, as if the people and things around him had gradually faded away and disappeared.
In his heart and eyes, there was only the woman in his arms.
Song Qishan threw the vase in his hands one after another. Song Guo was so scared that she quickly reached out to block it. However, she was directly imprisoned in the man's arms, Enduring Song Qishan's anger.
In this second, the impregnable castle that Song Guo had just built instantly turned into ruins. There was only the gentleness and deep affection of a man in it.
Even if it turned into a poison tainted with honey, she drank it without hesitation.
It was because he was him and he was Lin Nancheng.
"Lin Nancheng, my grandparents are still in his hands. I can't just leave like this. Put me down. He WoN'T DO ANYTHING TO ME! "
Of course, she didn't say the second half of the sentence.
Because Right now, all Song Qishan wanted was money. He didn't want anything else, much less care about it.
Even if they were his parents who loved women the most, even if they were the benefactors who raised his daughter, he wouldn't care about them.
Perhaps in his heart, there was only money and power. There was no such thing as family, friendship, or love. As long as it was something that was beneficial to him, it was his family, friendship, and love.
Lin Nancheng did not seem to hear her words, nor did he slow down his pace. Very quickly, he walked out of the lavishly decorated study.
Song Qishan's angry roar sounded behind him. "Lin Nancheng, don't force ME TO USE FORCE! "
This was the song family's residence. There were mercenaries and bodyguards guarding the surroundings. Not to mention humans, even a fly could not fly out.
He had already given him enough face by telling him so much just now. Yet, he was using his face as a footpad to step on. This feeling was undoubtedly adding salt to his already crumbling mental state.
Song Guo was really afraid. Her voice unconsciously carried a sobbing tone. "Lin Nancheng, can you not be so stubborn? "
"Now is the crucial time for you to revive the Lin family. Even if the song family's influence is weak, their foundation is still there. If he... if he contacts a good business partner and puts a small shoe on your back, it will delay your recovery... "
"He won't! "
The man finally said in a low voice, "I won't give him such a chance. Also, the Lin family has risen again, but it hasn't been announced to the public yet. "
He had originally planned to announce this matter after he settled his marriage with Song Guo, but now it seemed like he had to announce it in advance.
"really? "
"What's your reaction? ''
The man raised his exquisite and beautiful eyebrows. "Are you happy that I'm rich again? Or happy... you can be a rich Mrs. Lin! "
"I'm not such a shallow person! "
"When I was forced to call Mu Yuanqiao's cell phone number, I thought you were such a shallow person! "
Yes, she had called Mu Yuanqiao's number because she was forced by the situation, and because Mu Yuanqiao indeed had the financial ability to do so.
She heard that when he broke up with his ex-wife, he had split a few billion dollars in assets and was directly promoted to the world's richest person list.
Although she did not want to say anything, if she could exchange for her freedom, she could also thicken her skin and beg for it.
But reality proved that two people who were not fated would miss each other no matter what.
For example... She and Mu Yuanqiao ...
Lin Nancheng did not say anything else. Perhaps he knew that it was useless to say anything now, so he tactfully shut his mouth.
Song Guo glanced at his expression and called his name softly, "Lin Nancheng... "
"MM... "
"Didn't we already break up? Why did you still come? "
She would use that method to leave Nancheng villa, which was equivalent to using actual actions to tell him that she had completely let go of this relationship.
However, he did not seem to care about her attitude. He only cared about whether he liked it or not.
If he liked it, even if the other party did not like him, he would do his best to treat her well.
If he did not like it, even if the other party would give him the wealth that everyone yearned for, he would scoff at it.
Yes, he was such a contradictory and dedicated person.
He would not be promiscuous, and he would not easily say that he loved her. However, if he really fell in love with a woman, he would be completely devoted to her, leaving no room for negotiation.
"Did I tell you that I agreed to break up with you? "
"Didn't you leave without me? ''
The man glanced at her expressionlessly. "Miss Song, have you not learned Chinese well since you were young, or have you lost even the most basic observation skills? Weren't you the one who deliberately said those words at night to anger me into leaving? "
"I don't want to quarrel with you, and I don't want you to feel wronged. The best solution is for me to leave, isn't it? "
"In theory... Yes! "
"But what about in reality? "
"That's true! "
The man finally withdrew his slightly cold gaze, and the woman finally felt that the pressure was not so low. Her breathing also became smoother.
The man's footsteps were very steady. Other than the villa, all that could be seen were the dazzling landscape lights and the endless sea of lights at the foot of the mountain.
Nearby, there were more than a dozen bodyguards wailing and struggling on the ground in an extremely painful position. Obviously, the instigator of this was the tall man beside her.
Song Guo took a look and quickly retracted her gaze. Then, she pursed her pretty Red Lips. After a long while, she asked in a low voice, "Lin Nancheng, is this your first time fighting for a woman? "
The man did not hesitate and answered directly, "No! "
When the woman heard this, she replied with her eyes lowered, "Oh, is that so! "
"Why don't you ask me which woman I fought for? "
"Is there a need to ask? "
There was no need to ask him this question, because as long as she asked it, it would become a joke.
Before her, he had only had one girlfriend, and that was warmth.
He said that he had fought for women before, so other than warmth, who else could it be?
He did not seem to be satisfied with this answer. "You're answering my question with a question! "
"That's because you know the answer! "
"You have to say it out loud so that I know whether I'm asking the answer or not! "
His chiseled handsome face looked especially heroic under the light of the streetlights. A hint of anger flashed across her watery eyes before she finally said the name, "warmth! "
"But what should we do? It's not her! "
"What? It's not her? "
The man nodded firmly, his face full of honesty.
And she also knew that this man had no need to lie to her, because he disdained it and did not need it.
Song Guo looked somewhat incredulous. In her mind, there seemed to be only Wen Nuan who matched her guess.
She was silent for two seconds before she finally asked, "then... who is it? "
"Why didn't I realize that you were so stupid before? "
The man smiled. "It's Lin Yan. I've only fought for her before. "
Song Guo hit the man's shoulder in exasperation. "You... "
Before she could finish her sentence, she heard the man's beautiful lips let out a Groan that sounded like it was in unbearable pain.
Song Guo jumped in fright and quickly reached out to check. "You're injured? Let me take a look! "
The night wind was very strong. It blew her elegant long hair and scattered it before his eyes. He could clearly smell the fragrance of her hair and her alluring body fragrance.
He frowned and his voice became a little hoarse. "stay there and don't move! "
"Why? "
The woman blinked her watery eyes and looked at him innocently. "Why don't you let me touch you? "
"I'm hugging you. It's so dangerous. It's easy for me to drop you! "
The man's body became more and more tense as if he had reached the limit of his endurance. She looked at his ugly face and quickly said in a low voice, "Lin Nancheng, put me down. HURRY UP! "
"No need. WE'LL BE THERE SOON! "
Song Guo was so anxious that she was about to cry. "Are you seriously injured? PUT ME DOWN QUICKLY! "
Lin Nancheng really wanted to carry her to the car and then put her down from his arms, but the pain from his body made him finally experience what it meant to have ten thousand arrows pierce through the heart.
This kind of pain was even more unbearable than having ten thousand arrows pierce through the heart.
In the end, he could not resist the fatigue and pain in his body and slowly put her down on the ground. Then, he could not support his knees anymore and knelt on the ground, as if he was trying his best to endure the intense pain in his body.
Song Guo anxiously knelt beside him and kept changing her posture. She wanted to see his face clearly, but he dodged her. "I'm fine. It's just a little pain in my chest. Go wait for me in the car first. I'LL BE THERE SOON! "
"No, I don't want to! "
Song Guo began to cry and was out of breath. "Let me... Look, look. Is it okay? Is it okay? "
Lin Nancheng snorted heavily again, then pushed her away from him and said in a more serious tone, "Song Guo, listen to me. HURRY UP! "
Song Qishan could send someone to chase her at any time. Even though he had never felt fear or fear, he had now lost the ability to protect her. He could only let her go as far as she could, and he would talk about the rest slowly.
Song Guo shook her head frantically. "I'm not leaving, I want to stay by your side! "
His chest was really too painful, and the man could no longer hold on. He lay on the ground, his forehead and body covered in dense cold sweat. His world began to spin, and he could only see faint shadows of the lights and the woman's cries as she walked further and further away.
His breathing became heavier and heavier. Finally, he closed his eyes and fell into a world of darkness.
...
"Lin Nancheng, Lin Nancheng... "
Lin Nancheng heard a gentle and pleasant female voice calling his name in a dream that was as dark as the tide. He took a step forward and slowly followed the gentle female voice, only to see Song Guo whose face was full of tears.
He stretched out his arms to hug her to comfort her, but he only found a lump of air in his arms. Then, the dream turned into a space without any light. Finally, he could not stand the suffocating darkness and slowly opened his eyes.
Since he passed out from the pain and was admitted to the hospital, a full 80 hours had passed. The doctor had asked her to call his name repeatedly, saying that it would help him wake up faster.
In the past 80 hours, other than the two or three hours she slept, she had been calling his name.
Even the scratches on her body from the porcelain ware were hastily bandaged by the doctor to save time to be by his side.
The Heavens did not disappoint those who had a heart. After she called his name countless times, he finally woke up.
Seeing the woman's defeated and emaciated face, Lin Nancheng's relaxed brows immediately furrowed. "How did you become like this? Haven't slept for a few days? "
"I just woke up! "
She hurriedly threw a wet towel to wipe his hands and face. "What do you think? "
The man nodded. "I'm fine. Go and sleep for a while! "
"I just woke up. How can I still sleep! "
After saying that, she pressed the beeper at the bedside. The next second, the sound of the nurse on duty came over. She hurriedly said, "SVIP6's patient has woken up. Please come over and take a look. "
"okay, please wait a moment! "
After ending the call, Song Guo hurriedly dialed Lin Yan's cell phone number. After a beep, Lin Yan's gentle voice came from the other end. "Guo Guo, how is my brother? "
"He just woke up! "
"really? Thank God, thank God! "
Lin Yan's words made Song Guo's eyes redden instantly, but she concealed it very well and did not let anyone notice. "En, he's fine. You're about to reach the due date, so don't bother with the hospital at home. You can rest assured with me around! "
"Of course I'm relieved with you around, Guoguo. Also, you have to rest well. Don't let one of you get sick and go to the next one. That would be a huge sin for me! "
Lin Yan often felt angry because she could not help Fu Qingshan because of her pregnancy. Therefore, she had been throwing tantrums with Fu Qingshan for the past few days. When she heard that Lin Nancheng had woken up and was no longer in a serious condition, she finally felt relieved.
Song Guo knew that Lin Yan had been quarreling with Fu Qingshan over this matter for the past few days. Therefore, she called Lin Yan to reassure her.
"Yeah, I got it. You make me sound like a child! "
Lin Yan smiled. "You are just like a child! "
Song Guo was very simple. She knew the ways of the world, but she was not worldly. Many times, she was like a child, with the purest heart.
It was not unreasonable for her brother, Lin Nancheng, to fall in love with her.
Song Guo shook her head and sighed. "You are the one who is spoiled like a child! "
The two of them laughed together for a few seconds before cutting off the phone communication.
Lin Nancheng had just woken up and felt the pain in his entire body as if he had been run over by a truck. He frowned and moved. "Guoguo, how long have I BEEN ASLEEP? "
"almost three days and three nights! "
During the fight at the song residence that night, he had broken three ribs. She really could not imagine how a person with broken ribs could carry her so far and even think of protecting her while the pain was unbearable!
This feeling really made her feel very moved. She could not help but feel moved.
"Has it been so long? "
The man frowned and then said, "give me my phone! "
"You just woke up, so you should focus on recuperating. Leave the other things to someone else. I don't want you to be too tired! "
The man smiled weakly. "It's very important. Give me your phone! "
Song Guo couldn't persuade him, so she could only give him his phone.
The man took the phone and called Gu Xichen's number first. After a few beeps, Gu Xichen's lazy voice came through. "Yo, Lin, you're awake? "
Lin Nancheng did not waste any more time and asked directly, "how's your business going? "
"It's done. I promise you that when you wake up tomorrow morning, you'll get the results you want! "
Lin Nancheng acknowledged in a low voice and then pressed the hang-up button on his phone.
Then, he dialed another number. After the BEEP, Fu Qingshan's low and hoarse voice could be heard. "What's the matter? "
"How are Song Guo's grandparents? Where are they now? "
"They're fine. They're now in Song Qishan's villa in the western suburbs! "
Lin Nancheng acknowledged and said, "en, it's good that they're fine. I'll look for Song Qishan to settle the rest! "
When he mentioned his grandparents, Song Guo's heart was already in her throat. When she heard Fu Qingshan say that they were fine and that they were now in Song Qishan's villa in the western suburbs, her heart was at ease again.
"Is there anything else? "
Fu Qingshan's voice was very indifferent, even his tone was indifferent. Lin Nancheng was clearly not affected by his emotions, "not for the time being, but Yan 'er is almost due. You have to take care of her more! "
It was already late at night. All the scenery outside the window was swallowed by the dark night, becoming more and more blurred.
The man's voice was also deep and Husky in the night, like a radio host at midnight. Just a few simple words could make the ears of those who heard it pregnant.
Fu Qingshan did not want to respond initially, but when he received the gaze of the woman beside him, he still replied in a low voice, "yes, I got it! "
After saying that, he cut off the phone communication.
This floor was the SVIP ward floor. After Lin Nancheng ended the call, the already quiet ward became even quieter.
Neither of them took the initiative to speak. It was as if they already knew each other, but they also didn't know what to say. The atmosphere fell into a stalemate.
After more than ten seconds, the beautiful woman sitting by the bed reached out her hand and touched the man's forehead, intending to test if his temperature was normal. However, the second she reached out, she was directly grabbed by the man's large hand.
She was stunned for a second. Before she could react, the man's thin lips came close and planted a kiss on the back of her fair hand.
His lips were a little cold. When they landed on the back of her hand, she could not help but shrink back.
The man's deep sea-like eyes stared at her for a moment. After a while, he slowly moved closer to her Red Lips, wanting to kiss her.
At this ambiguous and tender moment, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open from the outside. The doctor and nurse walked in majestically.
The two of them still maintained their ambiguous actions. When the doctor at the front saw this scene, he instantly stopped in his tracks, so much so that the people behind him who did not know the situation bumped into the back of the people in front of them. The scene fell into an unprecedented awkwardness and chaos.
Song Guo had already lowered her head in a panic when someone pushed open the door and walked in. Looking from the side, her face was already flushed red.
Lin Nancheng, on the other hand, appeared to be calm and composed. He did not even have any unnecessary emotions. He only said in a low and indifferent voice, "all of you, get out! "
His voice was cold and indifferent, causing people who heard it to involuntarily feel a lot of fear. The moment he finished speaking, the group of doctors and nurses who came in quickly retreated.
Song Guo kept her head down and did not say anything. Lin Nancheng reached out to touch her, but she moved her body to avoid him.
The man thought that she was angry about what happened just now. Just as he was about to explain, he saw tears flowing out of her eyes and into the fabric on her legs.
He frowned and said gently, "Guoguo, just now... just now, I couldn't help myself. "
When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was her. The despair he felt in the tide of darkness instantly turned into joy. He was not sure if this was a feeling of being moved.
But there was one thing he was very sure of. He wanted to see her every morning when he woke up.
"Don't cry, okay? HMM? "
He reached out his hand and tried to wipe the tears on her face again, but she easily avoided it. She wiped the tears off her face and said with a choked voice, "Lin Nancheng, don't touch me anymore! "
Lin Nancheng's sword-like eyebrows, which had already relaxed, furrowed again. "I'm sorry, I'm the one who made you suffer! "
He thought that she was blaming him because she had been wronged by Song Qishan, so he explained anxiously, "I overestimated my ability at that time, that's why I made you suffer. Can I apologize? "
