Chapter 120: Twist Again, and You'll Be Picked Up on the Street (6000+)
Standing at the door of the ward for a long time, Ye Anning finally raised her hand to knock on the door and walked in.
There was only Qiao Yun in the ward, peeling an apple for Ye Mingzhu on a chair beside the bed. When she saw who had come in, she immediately jumped up. Ye Anning felt that if killing someone wasn't against the law, she would have directly thrown the fruit knife in her hand at her.
"Who let you come, get out! You still have the face to come? Get out!" Qiao Yun's round eyes stared at her angrily, her expression gnashing her teeth as if she really wanted to swallow her alive.
Ye Anning looked at Ye Mingzhu with a faint gaze, meaning to let her handle it.
If possible, she really didn't want to come, but there was no way, she had to come because of the debt she owed, and she couldn't ignore the child in Ye Mingzhu's belly.
"Mom, it's me who made her come, you go out first, I have something to say to her." Ye Mingzhu's voice sounded very weak, and she looked haggard, but the look in her eyes was already cold with hatred.
Qiao Yun looked at her daughter in surprise, "What did you bring her here for? Aren't the troubles she's caused you enough? No way, get rid of her quickly!"
"Ma! You go out first!" Ye Mingzhu's tone suddenly became heavy, and she frowned at her with some displeasure. Qiao Yun had no choice but to leave, and before closing the door, she gave Anning a cold glance. "I'm warning you, be careful, if anything happens to the child in Mingzhu's belly, I won't let you off, don't forget, you've already caused one death!"
Ye Anning's pale face suddenly turned white, her fists clenched slightly, and she didn't look up until Qiao Yun left. She then looked at the woman lying on the bed who was staring at her with a mocking gaze.
"What's the matter with you coming to find me?" she asked straightforwardly.
"What's wrong, turned pale and guilty? Seeing my appearance yesterday didn't remind you of many past crimes? Ye Anning, are you addicted to murder? Is killing your own family even more addictive?"
Facing Ye Mingzhu's questioning, Ye Anning's face turned even paler. She pursed her lips and slowly opened her mouth after a while, "That thing was indeed my fault, but I didn't do it on purpose. All these years, no matter how you treated me, I endured it all. You don't have to speak to me with such sarcasm and ridicule, constantly provoking me. Just tell me directly what I need to do for you to let me off the hook. Say it clearly once and for all, don't keep biting me every time we meet! However, yesterday's incident has nothing to do with me, so stop dumping the chamber pot on my head, Ye Mingzhu. My patience is also limited, after all, killing someone is just a matter of pointing at their head."
Ye Anning looked at her coldly, she had really had enough of them always bringing up past events, after so many years, the guilt on her conscience and their constant torment was already enough!
Ye Mingzhu looked at her with some surprise, all these years they had always known that Ye Anning was letting them off because of that thing in the past, and it was precisely because they knew she was filled with guilt that they could bully her so unscrupulously, unexpectedly she would say something like this, looks like she's been pushed to desperation.
Her beautiful face drew a mocking smile, Ye Mingzhu looked at her coldly, "Want to get rid of it? Want to pay off your debt all at once? You think that's beautiful, I absolutely won't make it so easy for you, I'll let you owe me, let you never be able to pay it back, let you live a lifetime of guilt and shame in the shadow of being a murderer!"
Looking at Ye Mingzhu's sinister face, Anning felt a chill run down her spine. She turned to leave, but was stopped by Ye Mingzhu, "Wait, I'm not finished yet."
"There's nothing much for me and you to talk about. It's still what I said earlier, think about how you want me to do it, and tell me when you've thought it through."
"Wait! Let's not mention what happened before. I called you here today because there is something else I want you to do." Ye Mingzhu coldly stopped her.
Ye Anning's puzzled look, Ye Mingzhu averted her gaze, her voice cold and hard, "The child in my belly is from Wing City, and by generation, you are also his younger aunt. Wing City's parents have already considered me as their future daughter-in-law. Because I am too weak to get out of bed now, once I recover, we will get married. Everything was so perfect, but now Wing City doesn't want this child because of you. You should know the feeling of a third person destroying a family... So, I want you..."
"I know, I'll make it clear with Yī Chéng."
She hadn't finished speaking, but Ye Anning already knew what she was going to say.
Ye Mingzhu looked at her with satisfaction, "You know what's best."
"Nothing's wrong, I'll go first." Yan Anning pushed open the door and left, with Yan Mingzhu's urging voice coming from behind her, "Hurry up!"
As she walked out of the hospital, Ye Anning still had Qiao Yun's hostile gaze in front of her eyes. She had just pushed open the door and the other woman jumped up from her chair, watching her with guarded eyes, afraid that she would harm her daughter.
Let's just say nothing about Qiao Yun as a person, but in terms of how she treats her own daughter, there is really nothing to criticize.
Mothers of the world are actually all the same, they hold their daughters in the palm of their hands, afraid that others will bully them.
Ye Anning thought of her own mother, if at this time her mother was still around, perhaps she wouldn't be so miserable.
"Peace?"
Lost in thought, Ye Anning heard someone calling her, and when she looked up, she saw Su Wen running towards her with a look of surprise and excitement on his face, panting and saying, "Anning, it's really you! I thought I was seeing things!"
Su Wen's eyes were filled with an uncontrollable surprise, her eyes shone brighter than usual, and Ye Anning couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"What are you doing here? Are you ill?" Su Wen looked at her pale face and his surprise turned into concern.
Ye Anning hastily waved her hand, "No, it's not me, I came to see someone else, what about you?"
"My cousin's leg is fractured. I just came to see her... um, do you have anything going on now? It's noon anyway, why don't we go eat together?"
Su Wen originally didn't have much hope, but unexpectedly saw Ye Anning nodding her head, "Okay." In fact, she just didn't want to be alone now.
"Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious." Su Wen said happily.
Ye Anning felt strange, don't all men like high-end places when inviting guests to dinner? But it's just a casual lunch, if it were her, she would rather go to a small restaurant and order a few dishes she likes.
It was hard to find a parking spot at noon, so Su Wen dropped her off and went to park the car herself. An Yi waited for a while.
Ye Anning stood idly at the door, and inadvertently raised her head to see a familiar car stop, and a familiar person got out of the car.
Bai Jun naturally also saw Ye Anning standing at the door, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he indifferently withdrew his gaze, standing still waiting for the few men to get off the car behind.
Ye Anning couldn't help but curl her lip, what a busy person, even noon was sacrificed.
Originally, the two were still in the same car yesterday, but now they seem like strangers. Su Wen stopped the car and quickly ran over, only to see Pei Jun a few meters away. A hint of desolation flashed in his eyes, thinking they were together, but Ye Anning directly said to him, "Is the car parked? Then let's go in."
Su Wen was taken aback, hastily nodded, looked at the woman who had walked in first and then at the man with a cold and hard expression on his face by the roadside, and couldn't help but catch up to them, asking in a low voice, "Did you two have a fight?"
Pei Jun spoke in a low voice to the man beside him, but his gaze fell on the two people walking shoulder to shoulder ahead of them. At a distance that was neither too far nor too close, he heard Su Wen's slightly excited voice carry over, "You two have broken up? Does that mean I have another chance? Can I pursue you?"
The reserved private room arrived, and the closed door isolated the outside conversation so that he didn't hear how the woman responded.
His fists clenched tightly, his face suddenly turned cold and stern. The people around him sensed the change in his emotions, and Pei Yan's voice trembled as he called out, "Boss Pei."
A sharp and cold gaze swept past, and Pei Yu Sheng couldn't help but shiver.
The private room in front
Ye Anning looked at the man beside her helplessly and said, "We can be good friends, but if you have other intentions, then we shouldn't meet again in the future."
Her words were somewhat decisive, and a hint of hurt flashed in Su Wen's eyes, but he smiled and said, "Okay, just as friends."
After a meal, Ye Anning found that Su Wen was indeed a very good person, without the bad habits of a playboy, being polite and sincere. She had never had any male friends before, but having dinner with him made her feel very relaxed.
Because today is not a weekend, after lunch Ye Anning rarely showed consideration and said he wouldn't disturb his work.
Su Wen went to get the car, she stood at the door and looked in the direction he ran away, but behind her came a familiar low and cold voice, "You really can't stand being quiet, with so many spare tires, how many boats did you step on at the same time."
Bai Jun's voice had a biting tone, An Ning frowned in displeasure, turned her head and glared at him fiercely, too lazy to talk to him.
"What's wrong, are you getting angry? Am I wrong? Just confirmed that it's not possible with Shen Yicheng and immediately looking for the next target. If Su Wen doesn't work out either, how many more are waiting in line behind you?"
Anning's anger suddenly turned into a sly smile, her lips curled up, and she glanced at him, "Too many, I myself can't count them all. Three-legged pigs are hard to find, but two-legged men should be easy to find, shouldn't they? Every normal man on the street is my target, except you!"
She deliberately emphasized the two words "normal", and then deliberately spoke out the last three words one by one, implying that she was scolding him, not normal!
Bai Jun's anger burned, seeing her smug face made him go crazy, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her to his side, his icy eyes coldly staring at her, "How is this? Are you in cahoots with Su Wen now? Does someone have your back?"
His cold and handsome face was right in front of her, the scorching breath sprayed on her face, looking at his mocking expression, she stubbornly raised her head, "That's right! We are good, what's wrong with that?"
His deep eyes fell on her triumphant face, the two of them were so close that he could see her small face clearly when he lowered his eyelids, even the fine down on her face was visible. For some reason, the anger that had been building up in his chest slowly dissipated, and a thin smile curled up at the corner of his lips as he teased her, "You? Don't be ridiculous, which man would take a liking to such a sloppy woman like you? It's more cost-effective to raise a pig, fatten it up and then slaughter it for food. Raising you would only lead to financial loss..."
"Pei Jun!!" Ye Anning was furious, how dare he say that to her! She gritted her teeth and pounced on him, but unfortunately someone had prepared in advance, grasped her hands and pulled her into his arms, firmly subduing her.
"Bastard, you can't even spit out ivory from a dog's mouth! Get out of my sight!!!" Anning struggled violently in his arms. This cheap man, how come she didn't notice that his mouth was so poisonous before? If she had known earlier, when they were living together, she would have poisoned him to silence him, and see what he would be arrogant about then!
The little woman in his arms twisted and turned, her small chest rubbing against his chest from time to time due to the reason he held her hands behind her back. The soft touch was like a flash of electricity, Pei Jun's eyes darkened, and his hands tightened involuntarily as he leaned down, his nose filled with the fragrance of the little woman. His eyes gleamed with a hint of wickedness as he whispered in her ear, "Rough? I'm sure mine is rough enough, are you sure his is qualified? Can that small body satisfy your unsatisfied desires?"
"Shameless! You scoundrel!" Yan Ning's ears and entire neck turned bright red, this was in broad daylight and on the street, with so many people coming and going, he actually dared to say such embarrassing words, utterly shameless!
She only then noticed how ambiguous the posture was between the two people, completely like they were hugging, embracing on the street, "Let me go! Pei Jun, you're simply crazy!"
A loud slap landed on the woman's buttocks, and Bae Jun discovered that he really loved her appearance of being a little wild cat, baring her teeth and claws. The feeling under his palm was still as good as it was in his memory. His voice also became several degrees rougher, "Turn around again, and I'll deal with you right here on the street!"
She hastily lifted her head, discovering that the expression in his eyes had changed. The two of them had been together for so long, she knew all too well what the darkness in his eyes meant, and immediately tensed up. "You... you said it yourself, we don't have a relationship anymore, you're not allowed to touch me!"
Bai Jun's eyes fluttered, and he felt a little dazed looking at the woman in front of him. Ah, they had no relationship anymore. He had told himself that long ago, but every time he saw her, he couldn't help but want to get close to her. When he heard some man say he wanted to pursue her, Bai Jun lost his composure. Without her by his side, he felt like something was missing. Before, he would get annoyed with her chatter and wish he could sew her mouth shut so he could work in peace. But now that she wasn't there, the room was quiet, yet he couldn't focus. He kept hoping that in the next second, she would burst in like before, demanding this and that. Yet, he knew it was impossible.
Before, he had never thought that one day his life would also have such an existence that cannot be ignored. Abandoning is abandoning, he has always been resolute in doing so, but now...
His eyes gleamed dimly, a streak of brightness flashed in the depths of his hawk-like gaze. He grasped her chin with one hand, making her face him, his thin lips moved slightly as he asked with some difficulty, following his heart's longing, "If... if you open your mouth and say you want to come back to me..."
Before he could finish speaking, the sound of a horn blowing came from the side of the road, and the rest of his words got stuck in his throat. The sharp eyes stared over again, and it was Su Wen who had appeared out of nowhere once more.
She felt a sharp pain in her hand, and she took the hand that he was pinching her chin with and bit it hard. Her eyes were full of anger as she pushed him away, saying "You're so arrogant!" before running over to Su Wen.
The big hand wanted to catch her, but when it tightened into a fist, there was only cold air. Watching the car disappear into the distance, he felt an even sharper pain on the back of his hand.
Looking down, two rows of shiny big teeth on the back of his hand.
Dead woman, your words are really heavy!
Do you think you can escape like this?
Look out!
Quietly sizing up the furious woman beside him, seeing her gritted teeth, a hint of loss flashed in Su Wen's eyes.
Actually, he had arrived a while ago and saw the two of them from afar with their ambiguous posture. He couldn't understand the situation so he slowed down his speed. Didn't she say that man dumped her before? But he clearly saw the concern in Pei Jun's eyes.
Moreover, perhaps even she herself didn't know how energetic she was in front of Pei Jun, like a spirited and vigorous little wild cat, always perking up her small ears, making the whole person look much more vivid, rather than being as mechanical and indifferent as when they were eating together.
"You just..." He asked casually.
"Don't even mention him, he's just a big rascal!" Ye Anning thoughtlessly blurted out the curse that was in her heart, only realizing how inappropriate it was after she said it. Seeing Su Wen's surprised gaze, she smiled awkwardly, "No, I actually meant to say he's just a neurotic, a madman!"
Su Wen withdrew his gaze, and very lightly sighed, "Is that so? Actually, do you know what the two of you looked like just now?"
"What's wrong?"
"Flirting and joking."
"You're crazy too!" Ye Anning suddenly flared up and shouted loudly.
Su Wen chuckled lightly, "You can't see it yourself, but from my perspective as an outsider, you two are like a pair of quarrelsome lovers, pretending to be aloof and awkward..."
"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense, we're done, I hate it!" The calm lake in Ye Anning's heart was like a small stone had been thrown into it, causing ripples to spread out, and she could no longer be calm. She turned her head to look out the window, but what flashed before her eyes seemed to be the face of someone who owed her an apology from earlier.
Su Wen saw her helpless smile and smiled, he had said what he should say, she didn't believe it and there was no way, but looking at the man's attitude just now, the two of them probably wouldn't end like this either.
What she thought was the end was just self-deception.
The car dropped her off at the foot of the apartment building, and Su Wen carefully asked, "If I said something I shouldn't have just now, then I apologize. You won't stop considering me a friend because of it, will you?"
Ye Anning snorted coldly and looked at him discontentedly. "Do I, Ye Anning, seem like such a petty person? Next time, it's my turn to treat you!"
"Alright, I'll wait for you then."
Ye Anning couldn't help but smile, and after getting to know Su Wen, she found that he wasn't as stiff as he looked, but rather fun and interesting. After saying goodbye, she went upstairs, where the hallway was filled with a strong smell of smoke.
She frowned and found that her own smell was especially heavy. She walked to the door and stared at the man sitting on the stairs in dismay.
The clothes on his body were wrinkled and messy, the tips of his fingers flickered with cigarette butts, and a pile of cigarette butts had already accumulated on the ground at his feet.
"She cried out in disbelief, 'Wing City?'"
She called out several times before the man slowly lifted his head, and she was shocked to see that Shen Yicheng's face was pale and gray, with a look of despair and exhaustion. His beard was unshaven, his eyes were sunken, and there were dark circles under them. But in those warm and gentle eyes, which were originally full of warmth, were now filled with bloodshot, and he was looking at her with an unspeakable sorrowful gaze.
Ye Anning's breath caught, feeling a pair of large hands tightly grasping her heart.
"How did you end up here? When did you arrive, and why didn't you call me?" Ye Anning muttered to herself. Shen Yicheng suddenly moved, pulling her into his arms and holding her tightly. His body trembled slightly due to the force he used, but his arms tightened and loosened in a contradictory manner, as if reflecting the complexity of his heart at that moment. He didn't want to let go, yet he knew he had to.
Ye Anning seemed to have caught his mood at this moment, she didn't push him away, letting him hold her like that, the air slowly condensing into a sorrowful atmosphere, as if bidding farewell to something.
After a long time, he still refused to let go of the woman in his arms. Anning gently patted his back, "Yi Cheng, let go."
Let her go, let go of all the feelings between them in the past.
"No, no! I won't let go, I won't let go!"
