Chapter 143 Falling into darkness and surrendering to her
Cheng Zhirou's face changed. Seeing that Cheng Shiyan was about to play the recording, she quickly grabbed her arm to stop her from doing anything.
"Third sister, stop it!!"
Cheng Shiyan ruthlessly shook off Cheng Zhirou's attempt to stop her.
As the recording played, Cheng Zhirou's face darkened.
"Second sister, Xiaoye is living a life in the Cheng family that is not a life for a human being. People have their limits of tolerance. We have disappointed him time and time again. How could he be willing to continue to stay in the Cheng family?!"
"Does he not want to stay in the Cheng family? No!" Cheng Shiyan's eyes were filled with heartache and regret, "It was our actions, our preference and indulgence for Feng Hao, that forced him to leave the Cheng family!!"
Even though she knew this, the second sister Cheng Zhirou was still so frightened by her third sister's words that she broke out in cold sweat.
She was speechless.
The eldest sister Cheng Wei felt a chill in her heart.
"You always say that Xiaoye doesn't care about our feelings." Cheng Shiyan asked back, "But have we cared about his feelings? How does he feel when his own sister doesn't love him but loves an adopted son who has no blood relationship with him?!"
Cheng Wei and Cheng Zhirou were stunned.
It was clearly an easy-to-understand truth, but to their ears, it sounded so ironic.
Cheng Zhirou's face was filled with embarrassment. Given the cruel things they had done to Xiaoye, even if they knelt down and begged Xiaoye to come back, Xiaoye would not set foot in the Cheng family's door.
What happened to her?
Why did you just confidently think that Xiaoye was going to return to the Cheng family? !
How could they be so confident that Xiaoye would personally apologize to them in order to return to the Cheng family? !
Cheng Zhirou suddenly felt humiliated. She was silent for a long while, went upstairs in a daze, and then returned to her room to rest.
Whenever Cheng Wei thought that Xiao Ye might never return to the Cheng family again, her heart became extremely flustered.
He quickly asked the nanny to prepare a lunch box, simply put on his coat and went out.
Cheng Shiyan sat on the sofa in the living room with a heavy heart. Seeing her elder sister about to go out with a lunch box, she couldn't help but ask, "Eldest sister, are you going out to look for Xiaoye?"
Cheng Wei hurriedly trotted out of the villa, her mind full of Cheng Ye, and she didn't hear clearly what Cheng Shiyan asked.
The answer to Cheng Shiyan was the silent air.
Cheng Shiyan was in a trance, staring blankly at the door where no one had appeared.
Although the eldest sister did not reply, Cheng Shiyan had already guessed that the eldest sister had gone out to look for Xiaoye.
-
night.
In the bedroom, Cheng Ye finished washing up and leaned against the head of the bed.
Not long after they separated, Cheng Ye began to miss Jiang Mian.
Jiang Mian will not be back until the day after tomorrow.
When Cheng Ye was with Jiang Mian every day, he felt that time passed quickly, but when Jiang Mian left, Cheng Ye felt that the days were long.
Cheng Ye turned his head and took the transparent glass jar from the desk.
Fireflies have a lifespan. The fireflies that used to emit bright and beautiful fluorescence now have no signs of life.
They stayed quietly in the glass jar, unable to shine anymore.
For some reason, Cheng Ye clenched the glass jar tightly. He lowered his eyes and stared at it for two minutes.
Can't bear to throw it away.
But if they continue to stay, they will just be a pile of corpses.
After a long time, Cheng Ye finally opened the glass jar, poured the fireflies into a plastic bag, and then threw it together with the plastic bag into a trash can not far away.
He went to the bathroom, cleaned the glass jar, and put it back on the desk.
At this time, the phone rang.
Cheng Ye opened the screen of his mobile phone and saw that it was a call from his grandma.
After dialing the number, Song Ranqiu said, "Xiaoye, your elder sister is here. She's at the clinic."
Cheng Ye doesn't have a good impression of Cheng Wei, and their family affection has been exhausted.
In his previous life, he was kicked out of a wealthy family on the eve of the college entrance examination. On a rainy day, Cheng Fenghao secretly sent thugs to attack him, causing him to be seriously injured and hospitalized.
He was in a coma for several days, missed the college entrance examination, and his grandmother died in a car accident because of him.
After that, I went to work in a factory, living an aimless life every day. I tightened screws for ten years, and also wasted ten years of my time.
He has turned himself into a useless person with extreme internal friction.
When Cheng Ye was a child, he sneaked out of the orphanage to play. He saw couples with children, happily and patiently accompanying their children shopping and playing.
Cheng Ye was very envious.
I envy them for having parents who love them, and I envy them for having dearest and dearest relatives.
Unlike him, he is an orphan without a father or a mother, like a drifting duckweed, with no way home.
Every night before going to bed, Cheng Ye would think, how great it would be if he had a father and a mother.
It seemed like fate brought Mr. and Mrs. Cheng to the orphanage.
He was taken back to the Cheng family.
Cheng Ye was very happy at that time. He was not an orphan without parents, and he was not a drifting duckweed. He had a father and a mother and three excellent sisters.
He thought that returning to the Cheng family would be a new beginning in his life.
However, he was totally wrong.
So what if we are blood relatives?
Cheng Ye tried humbly to please the Cheng family, but in return he got their sincere trampling on him.
He always comforted himself, thinking that maybe if he waited a little longer, the Cheng family would sincerely accept him.
Thinking of this, Cheng Ye's lips curled up in a self-deprecating smile.
The Cheng family didn't know that their excessive favoritism towards Cheng Fenghao would deeply hurt him.
As far as I can remember, I thought I was an orphan, but suddenly one day I was told that I had parents and sisters.
He seemed to have crawled out of the mud and saw the glimmer of light of family love.
But he never thought that it was all just an illusory dream.
His parents and his sisters only loved their adopted son who was not related to him by blood.
It turned out that his relatives did not belong to him, but to someone else.
Cheng Ye felt that in his previous life, he had wasted a full ten years working in a factory for unworthy people and things.
How many decades are there in a lifetime?
He lived in internal friction for ten years, plus the three years he spent in the Cheng family, that's a total of thirteen years.
The pain caused by one's original family takes a lifetime to heal.
He died in his previous life and his soul briefly wandered in the world, but the Cheng family was still celebrating for Cheng Fenghao.
His departure was not worth mentioning to the Cheng family.
Only Jiang Mian gave him a grand funeral.
All members of the Cheng family stayed with Cheng Fenghao.
He paid with his life for a sudden awakening.
Cheng Ye had a blank expression on his face. He was so stupid in his previous life.
Let orphans be orphans.
There's nothing wrong with being an orphan. You're pretty free, aren't you?
He spent fifteen years of his life in an orphanage.
Aren’t you living a good life too?
Why do you foolishly want the love that doesn't belong to you? !
"Xiao Ye, your elder sister is staying here and refuses to leave." Song Ranqiu hadn't heard Cheng Ye's voice for a long time, and she said helplessly.
Cheng Ye withdrew his thoughts and responded indifferently, "Okay, I'll be right over."
He got out of bed, put on his coat, walked out of the bedroom, passed the corridor and the backyard, came to the inner door of the small clinic, then grasped the handle and opened it, just in time to see Cheng Wei sitting on a bed in the clinic, intending to stay.
When Cheng Wei heard the noise, she immediately turned around and saw that it was Cheng Ye. She stood up happily and handed over the lunch box in her hand.
"Xiaoye, this is the midnight snack I prepared for you. There are lobster, skewers and rice."
Cheng Ye didn't answer. He leaned lazily against the door frame, his arms folded across his chest, his expression extremely cold, and glanced at Cheng Wei.
Cheng Wei's movement to stretch out the lunch box froze in mid-air.
She hesitated for a while and decided to let Song Ranqiu hand it over to Cheng Ye.
So he turned around and prepared to hand the lunch box to Song Ranqiu.
Cheng Ye narrowed his eyes, took two steps forward impatiently, raised his arm, and chopped the lunch box in Cheng Wei's hand directly to the ground.
The lunch box fell to the ground, causing the food to splatter everywhere.
Cheng Wei lowered her head, her eyes froze, and her body trembled slightly.
After a while, Cheng Wei raised her eyes and looked at Cheng Ye, forcing a smile, "Xiao Ye, if this can make you calm down, then it's worth it."
Song Ranqiu sighed in his heart and looked at the two people confronting each other with melancholy eyes.
Cheng Ye did not hide his disgust for Cheng Wei. He said sarcastically, "Oh, the food is spilled. Do you need to clean it up?"
Cheng Wei's face was stiff, "Xiao Ye, I..."
Cheng Ye smiled and pointed to the broom and dustpan placed on the wall behind Cheng Wei.
Cheng Wei followed Cheng Ye's movements and she immediately understood what he meant.
After struggling internally for a while, Cheng Wei walked over silently, took the broom and dustpan, and quickly cleaned up the scene.
Cheng Wei put down the broom, took a deep breath, and asked him nervously, "Are you satisfied now?"
"Not satisfied." Cheng Ye sneered, "You're haunting me. You're trying so hard to disturb my normal life. Are you colluding with Cheng Fenghao? Are you upset that I sent him to jail?!"
Cheng Ye's eyes were cold.
"Xiao Ye, you misunderstood! I just came here to bring you a midnight snack! I didn't mean anything else!" Cheng Wei explained anxiously.
Hearing this, Cheng Ye looked at Cheng Wei with a mocking look, and said sarcastically, "Who are you pretending to be? When I first came to your company, I brought you midnight snacks."
"How did you handle it? After opening the midnight snack box, you spilled the food all over me in front of the assistant and the HR department."
Cheng Wei's face turned pale, her pupils suddenly changed, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
Cheng Ye said in a mocking tone, "You are acting so hypocritically, are you doing it for me? Oh, you are just pretending to be sympathetic."
Cheng Wei's eyelashes trembled violently. She never expected that Xiao Ye remembered this incident so clearly.
She was in a trance and fragments of past memories emerged.
Cheng Wei burst into tears, she was so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe, like a fish without sea water, she was about to suffocate!!
She trembled as she moved closer to Cheng Ye. "Xiao Ye, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have wasted your kindness, and I shouldn't have splashed water all over you. It's all my fault!"
I remember that day, I spoke harshly to Cheng Ye and made many unbearable and sarcastic remarks.
Cheng Wei's heart ached, and she didn't remember how she ran out of the small clinic in a panic.
Cheng Ye stared coldly at Cheng Wei's embarrassed escape.
Song Ranqiu didn't know what to say. All she could say was just one sentence, "Xiaoye, go to bed early. Don't take Cheng Wei to heart."
She didn't quite understand why the Cheng family always came to disturb Xiaoye.
When Xiaoye was in the Cheng family, they ignored and disliked her. Now, Xiaoye has taken the initiative to leave the Cheng family, but they often come forward to beg for Xiaoye's forgiveness.
Maybe human nature is just so mean.
When I had it, I didn't cherish it and let Xiaoye down.
Now that they have lost it, they are filled with regret.
If we had known today, why did we do it in the first place?
"Yeah." Cheng Ye nodded, "Grandma, you should also go to bed early."
After saying that, Cheng Ye returned to his bedroom.
He leaned against the headboard, not wanting to sleep.
At this time, I don’t know if Jiang Mian has fallen asleep.
Cheng Ye tried to send a message to Jiang Mian——
【are you asleep? 】
Jiang Mian replied immediately.
Cheng Ye couldn't help but curl his lips and clicked on the voice playback.
The little girl's voice is so sweet and soft that it makes your heart beat faster just by listening to it.
Her voice was full of tenderness and coquettishness, [Honey, do you miss me? ]
Cheng Ye also sent a voice message, [Yeah, I miss you. ]
Jiang Mian: [Do you need me now? ]
Cheng Ye's gentle gaze stayed on the chat interface on the mobile phone screen for five seconds, and he clicked on the voice message.
After hearing Jiang Mian's question, Cheng Ye couldn't help laughing.
Suddenly I felt the air was filled with pink bubbles.
It's a pink bubble of love.
Falling in love is so sweet.
Just chatting or sending voice messages can be so sweet.
Cheng Ye sent a voice message, [I really need you. I really need you. What about you? ]
Jiang Mian: [Same. Call me wife and I’ll give you my life.]
Cheng Ye received the voice message. After listening to it, his Adam's apple rolled and his expression was stunned.
He smiled and edited the message: [Is it convenient to answer the phone? ]
Jiang Mian: [It’s convenient. ]
She had just finished blow-drying her hair when Cheng Ye called her on video.
Jiang Mian's pretty face showed two charming dimples, and she pressed the answer button.
In the picture, Jiang Mian saw Cheng Ye’s upper body.
She looked at Cheng Ye and her gaze stopped at his Adam's apple.
Jiang Mian put down the hair dryer, snuggled up in the soft big bed with his cell phone in hand.
She acted pitifully and coquettishly, "I want to be hugged, touched, and kissed."
"Wife, where do you want to touch?" Cheng Ye teased her.
Jiang Mian's almond-shaped eyes curved into a crescent shape, "Hehe, touch your Adam's apple! This is your sensitive spot!"
Cheng Ye paused. It was more than a sensitive point; it was a fatal weakness.
His mind couldn't help but recall the scene of their deep kiss, with Jiang Mian's petite body limply leaning in his arms.
Every time they kissed, his hands were relatively restrained and not dishonest.
Now looking at the phone video, Jiang Mian was wearing a bright red silk corset nightgown. Cheng Ye's gaze moved from her soft lips to her collarbone, and then slowly to her graceful waist.
The look in Cheng Ye's eyes darkened, he wished he could merge her into his body and never separate from her again.
Jiang Mian noticed Cheng Ye's mood change. She smiled slyly, and a blush appeared on her fair face.
The tips of Cheng Ye's ears turned red. He was filled with thoughts and once again fixed his gaze on Jiang Mian's pure eyes.
"Mianbao, if you call me husband again, I will give you my life."
Jiang Mian tilted her head, blinked her eyes, and puffed up her cheeks angrily, "Bad guy! You imitated my way of speaking!!"
What Cheng Ye didn't notice was that there was an undercurrent in Jiang Mian's obedient eyes.
She wanted to pull him into the darkness, little by little, and make him submit to her...
