She's like a lifesaver

In the open-air coffee shop in the industrial park, Hua Yi and Liu Zhao are sitting in the corner, one scruffy and the other in a suit and leather shoes.

The midsummer wind seems to be able to read people's hearts. When it blows over flowers, it gently lifts the hair on his forehead, and by the way spreads the light brought by the gurgling water under his feet, making him always hide his sadness and joy. The vicissitudes of the eyes have a little warmth and life.

"I won't pursue the matter of the video." Liu Zhao took the initiative.

Hua Yi's eyes flickered with the flowing water, and then recovered, "Why?"

"Whoever harms others will inevitably harm others. This matter is due to Shanshan's fault first, and no one can be blamed for the current result." Liu Zhao replied unhurriedly, and his indifferent attitude made Hua also feel like He Shushan. To him, it was just an insignificant existence.

That being the case, why did Liu Zhao keep her by his side for 7 years and still call her so intimate?

I don't know if Liu Zhao has sensed Hua Yi's thoughts. After he finished speaking, he quickly added, "And she used your daughter to threaten you. I apologize to you on her behalf. Don't worry, your daughter's I have already registered the information, as long as there is a suitable donor, I can perform a heart transplant for her immediately."

"Really?" Hua Yi asked calmly, "Didn't you say that my daughter would have the opportunity to undergo surgery only after this drug passed Phase I clinical trials?"

Liu Zhao didn't answer right away, but picked up the coffee cup slowly and took a sip.

Thinking that the taste of the coffee was too bad, Liu Zhao frowned and put the cup back as soon as he took the coffee. He swallowed the hard-to-drink coffee, and he was not as reluctant as most of the golden collars in this garden. to trouble the waiter.

At times like this, Hua Yi felt that she couldn't understand Liu Zhao.

Liu Zhao is almost used to behaviors like "being convenient with others", but when it comes to Hua Yi's daughter, Liu Zhao is so bad that it makes his teeth itch, and there are countless unreasonable things on his hands.

Those were also instructed by Liu Zhao and even personally participated, so he did it with peace of mind.

What kind of state of mind is it that allows Liu Zhao to be so 'bad' so naturally and 'good' so casually?

Flowers are also puzzled.

"In the matter of your wife's accidental death, although I was unintentional, I couldn't shirk my responsibility. I have been guilty all these years, and now I have the opportunity to make up for it, so I won't give up." Liu Zhao said sincerely: "Your daughter's matter, I am obliged."

Hua also moved the corners of her mouth and smiled sarcasticly, "Make up? I want to follow the normal procedure to perform surgery on my daughter, but you try your best to get in the way, using her life to force me to enter your company to develop new medicines for you, even to The new medicine cost my daughter's life, is this what you said to make up for? Sorry, I can't see the sincerity you want to make up for."

Liu Zhao was calm and composed, "I just cherish my talents too much. If you are willing to help me develop new medicines, I will never use such despicable means to force you to submit."

"What happened before?!" Hua Yi was suddenly agitated, leaning forward uncontrollably, "Before you brought down my company and killed my wife with trumped-up charges, how should you explain these things?!"

Liu Zhao is still calm, it seems that what Hua Yi said is just a flash in the air, and it will disappear without leaving a trace.

"If you were willing to cooperate with me and hand over the agency rights of new drugs to our company, then I would never have thought of starting from your company."

Hua Yi sat back, his burning eyes couldn't hide his anger, "According to what you said, you framed the new drug developed by our company to eat dead people, let your people infiltrate to tamper with clinical data, and used your so-called evidence to kill me step by step. Is it my fault that I was forced into bankruptcy and in debt? After the incident, you forced me to exchange my innocence with you for the formula of that medicine, and I didn’t want to hand over the life-saving things to a businessman who only had money in his eyes, so you are angry Add fuel to the fire, is it my fault that you completely destroyed what you can't get? It's my fault that you let people touch my wife because of my refusal, causing her to give birth prematurely and die tragically in the delivery room? All of this is because In your eyes, I am a talent, because I refuse to cooperate with you, so they happened to me as a matter of course? Liu Zhao, do you know what human nature is?"

Facing Hua Yiyin's restrained anger, Liu Zhao's emotions did not fluctuate at all, "It's not difficult to understand the truth that people make money and birds die for food. Besides, cooperating with me will only make your medicine have a greater market and value." , it’s a win-win situation for us.”

"Heh." Unable to hold back, Hua Yi's tone also had the cynicism that ordinary people would have, "Your so-called win-win is to exchange our hard work day and night for your countless wealth! What about the patients? You and your company will only let them go bankrupt in order to survive, and then die sadly with countless regrets and guilt. What happens after they leave? Their relatives have to face more than death The pain caused, and the debt that had to be repaid. Liu Zhao, you are the doctor. You have seen life and death far more than me who can only do experiments in the laboratory, but you treat the life and death How can you be so understated?!"

Hua Yi's words faded Liu Zhao's hypocritical smile.

Liu Zhao, who has lost his disguise, is particularly cold and terrifying.

"The reason why life and death are important is because someone cares. If one day life and death become only related to that person, then it will not have any meaning at all."

Liu Zhao spoke every word very slowly, and Hua Yi could even see the emotional changes in his eyes from the interval between each word.

From coldness to anger, from anger to paranoia, and from paranoia to insight, each emotion is his true reflection, representing an attitude of his, contradictory to each other, and inseparable from each other.

Liu Zhao is an absolutely contradictory existence.

However, Hua did not refute Liu Zhao's words. After all, he was not wrong about the significance of life and death.

"Hua Yi, have you seen the real world?" Liu Zhao asked, with a naive attitude as if he regarded Hua Yi as a bosom friend who could talk about everything.

Hua also didn't hesitate, "I've seen it."

The law of the jungle preys on the strong, good people have no good results, and bad people have no retribution, but there is no lack of goodwill that does not expect anything in return.

"No, you haven't seen it." Liu Zhao sat up straight, his narrow eyes and the bottomless blackness in his pupils made him feel very cynical, "This world is dirty and cold, you want to live If you are not at the mercy of others and are not bound by the laws of nature, you must climb up by any means. When you climb to the point where no one can catch up, you have the right to say no to everything you hate, and your pursuit of the peak The process is the process by which you see the world as it is, and the real thing is more disgusting than you imagined."

Hua also disagrees, "What you see at the beginning is wrong, and if you continue, you will only go further and further away."

Liu Zhao laughed wildly, "I admit that I missed it, but who gave it to me? It's not the world we live in and the people in it! Why should I pay for their hypocrisy?! I'm just putting What they raised on me will be returned to them, and the interest will be recovered from them by the way, if this is wrong, then I would rather believe that there is no boundary between right and wrong!"

Hua also frowned.

Ever since he joined Liu Zhao's company to develop new drugs for him, he has been keeping a respectful distance from this person. It's the first time that he's "chatting" outside of work like today, but this time is enough for him to recognize Liu Zhao's extremely twisted personality. nature.

He can't afford to offend such a person, but he has to stay by his side and always think about how to seek skin from a tiger...

Liu Zhao hasn't experienced such real and intense emotions for a long time, and today he suddenly vented them with an indescribable joy.

When you are in a good mood, you will naturally be courteous when talking.

"Hua Yi, do they know about your relationship with me?"

Liu Zhao asked abruptly, and did not mention Dao's surname, but Hua Yihuan immediately recognized who he was talking about.

It was Ye Yishu and He Xiang whom he had just helped.

"I don't know, and I didn't ask." Hua Yi replied, "I just said that He Shushan intends to use my daughters to threaten me to frame them. I am unwilling to do so, but the matter of the video must be concluded as soon as possible, otherwise, no one can guarantee He Shushan's next step. What will be done with it, so I choose to make it public in this way, so that He Shushan will suffer the consequences, just in line with your saying that anyone who harms others must do so."

"Oh?" Liu Zhao pondered, "If that's the case, why would they believe that you are sincerely helping? After all, compared with your daughter's life, the reputation of an outsider is too insignificant."

"There is no reason, this is the desirable side of people's hearts."

"..."

"Gratitude."

"..."

Liu Zhao stood up, buttoned up his buttons expressionlessly, turned around and left without saying a word, but Hua Yi could still see something from his cold eyes at the end—once his hands and feet touched Liu Zhao's body, Liu Zhao's body would be gone. Zhao will definitely make him pay for it without hesitation.

To put it bluntly, Liu Zhao's statement today that He Shushan has nothing to do with it is just a wake-up call for him.

Liu Zhao has never been a person who is generous enough to watch others do things that harm his own interests.

Hua also stood up, and the hot wind blew through the sweaty clothes on her back, creating a chill for no reason.

--------

After school in the afternoon, He Si and He Qiqi had been staying in the small garden in front of the school for a long time.

He Qiqi tightly clutched the strap of his schoolbag, lowered his head, and kicked the curb intermittently with his toes.

He Ru stood next to her, just watching, and didn't take the initiative to talk to her.

This morning, He Xi's tough attitude really hurt He Qiqi, and she hasn't figured out how to apologize yet.

"Why?" He Qiqi took the initiative to speak, his voice muffled, "Is it because I study hard, score [-] on the test, and know everything like you, so you still don't want me?"

He Si's gaze fixed on the back of He Qiqi's head flickered, and his voice was particularly unpleasant, "I don't know."

"Why don't you know?"

"You still have relatives, if they must live with you, I can't stop them, but..."

He seems to stop talking.

He Qiqi raised his head, his bright black eyes lost their usual vitality.

"But you really miss me in your heart." He Qiqi said what she didn't say for He Bi.

He Ruo's dull heart skipped a beat.

He Qiqi has always been too smart, it's not uncommon for her to spend a whole day thinking about this 'but', He seems to be just a little uncomfortable, she made He Qiqi cry like that, and she can't blame her to figure out your true thoughts.

In comparison, her extreme or stubborn character is not as good as a smart child.

He Si took a step forward and rubbed He Qiqi's untidy hair, "In front of them, I am just a dispensable outsider to you, even if I want to, I have no position to say to keep your words , He Qiqi, there is nothing wrong with you following them, they are your mother's relatives."

"I like you more than my mother. She doesn't love me at all."

"No." He Si immediately denied, "It's not that your mother doesn't love you, she just, just..."

He Xi couldn't tell that the reason why Zhuo Xin refused to raise He Qiqi herself was for her own sake. Even if it wasn't her original intention, she couldn't deny the fact that she benefited from it. If she said it, she would become a sinner in He Qiqi's place. .

He Xi doesn't want to be hated by He Qiqi, at least until she can't be completely independent, so that when He Qiqi is wronged, he can vent to her with peace of mind.

He Ru secretly inhaled, trying to keep his tone normal, "He Qiqi, you can't hate your mother, let alone her family, she loves you more than anyone else."

When Zhuo Xin was still alive, He Xiang would bring a lot of He Qiqi's photos and videos to Zhuo Xin every time she went back. She looked at them very carefully and kept several copies by category.

Behind those seemingly indifferent, it was actually Zhuo Xin's love for He Qiqi.

Therefore, He Qiqi must not hate Zhuo Xin, no matter if he is angry or sincere.

"Oh." He Qiqi squatted down, and flicked her soft palms in the grass, "He Xiang, you are my mother, you have always been, and you will be in the future. You are not an outsider."

He Qiqi's obviously evasive answer made He Bi's sore throat almost burst, and the astringent feeling in her eyes was so clear that she almost couldn't hide it.

He Ru raised his head slightly, pretending to be relaxed and said, "You only call me mom when you cause trouble, why are you so obedient now? I'm not used to it."

"Then will you get used to me leaving you?" He Qiqi asked without thinking.

He Qiqi's question hit the nail on the head.

He Xiang couldn't think of the answer at all, or, she didn't think about this question at all.

"Ah! I found it!" He Qiqi stood up excitedly, took He Si's hand and put a piece of grass in her palm, "He Si, I give it to you! It can bring good luck!"

He Ru lowered his head, lying on the palm of his hand was a four-leaf clover that had lost its vitality.

Judging by its degree of dehydration, it had obviously been taken off for a long time, but He Qiqi's excitement expressed that it had just been found.

Didn't He Qiqi spend the whole day today in order to find it?

He Ru blinked unconsciously, and the emotions that could not be hidden in her eyes fell out with her movements.

He Qiqi, who pretended to be happy, froze for a moment, then hugged He Si and burst into tears, "He Si, don't cry! A beauty like me, He Xiaomei, will attract people everywhere, so don't cry! Even if I'm not by your side, I won't cry!" I will definitely not be bullied! Don't cry!"

Why didn't she want to cry, she just couldn't help it.

She couldn't bear the thought of the people around her leaving.

He Si has met many people on the road of walking, many of them can exchange feelings, exchange life and death, like Jing Ya, like Xiaopang, like Pei Jun, there are many people who treat her wholeheartedly, but they can't kiss more loved ones.

He Xiang's relatives are too few, one less is like half of the sky is missing, two less... Her sky will collapse.

"He Qiqi." He Ruo touched He Qiqi's ear, speaking very slowly, "Let's fight for it, shall we?"

He Qiqi's crying stopped abruptly.

He Qiqi raised his head while hugging He Xiang tightly, and asked uncertainly, "What are you fighting for?"

He Ru blinked, and there was anger in his smile.

"Try to keep you by my side."
