Long drought meets rain

Wu Xiao felt that he had only now understood what Wu Lin meant when he said "They will definitely help me". Yesterday when he was standing in the corridor, He Zhilin cried hoarsely even though so many walls were separated , There are so many sects, and it has not weakened at all. He even suspects that even if the sick person is Xin Wangyun, the crying could not be more painful.

So this is mom?

He has never had a mother, and has never seen other people's mothers. To him, the touching maternal love in the stories is just a kind of moving in the fog.It wasn't until yesterday that he heard He Zhilin's "why" that was like crying blood, that he finally understood how the baby that his mother cared about could hurt his mother's heart.

"Are you sober? Look at who I am again."

Wu Lin has been sleeping drowsily since finishing the treatment yesterday. He finally woke up. He opened his eyes and saw someone in front of him. It was finally a little god.

"Wu... Wu Xiao?!"

"Well, should I thank you for remembering my brother after such a long time?"

Wu Xiao spoke unforgivingly, but his tone was gentler than ever.

"Why are you here?!" Frightened by the impossible person, Wu Lin leaned on the edge of the bed and planned to sit up.

"Hey, don't move! It fell into the water, and the needle will be twisted in a while, and you will have to get another injection. Look at which blood vessel you have in your hand that can be used for injection." Wu Xiao pushed back Wu Lin, who was half lifted. , tucked in the quilt, and reached out to cover his infusion hand, "Xin Wangyun got me out, and brought four security guards with him, making it look like a prison robbery."

"Xin Wangyun?!"

"Yes, Xin Wangyun, you are in the hospital now, and the doctor said that it will take a month at the earliest to get out."

"Why?" Wu Lin's voice was timid, "Why did he go to you? Why did I have to be hospitalized? Where is Nian Nian? Where is Nian Nian?"

"At..." Wu Xiao wanted to say that at your future parents-in-law's place, he glanced at Wu Lin's bewildered expression, and thought about it, let him tell him little by little, "at Xin Wangyun's parents' place, say yes Hire a special person to help watch it, and there will be no problem."

"Then why did he go looking for you?" Wu Lin's hand with the needle in it clenched unconsciously, and was pushed away by Wu Xiao's fingers one by one.

"Because I finally figured out who your child belongs to, and came to me to ask why."

"then you--"

"Of course I told him. I have been waiting for him to ask me every day this year."

Wu Lin looked at Wu Xiao motionlessly and stopped talking.

"Why don't you talk, don't ask me how he will react when he finds out?"

"Don't ask." Wu Lin closed his eyes, and all expressions on his face disappeared.

"Oh, then you know how he reacted and lied to him for so long?"

"I didn't lie to him! I didn't intend to tell him at all!" I closed my eyes and opened them again. The eye sockets were a little red, and I couldn't tell whether it was angry or sad.

"If you don't tell him, will he not be able to find out? Do you really think he is a fool?"

"I'm already planning to leave! I even bought the train ticket back to Qianlin! He will soon—"

"You only think about him, don't you care about yourself? Don't you care about me?" Wu Xiao leaned on the bed, thinking that this younger brother really doesn't look like him at all, "After you left, Cheng Zhili began to look for him all over the world. You, thinking that I would contact you, so you watched me closely from inside to outside, and checked almost everything you could except not daring to call the police. In the end, you just left, not afraid of him shutting down My whole life?"

Really did not expect that Wu Lin on this floor was taken aback, his mouth was half opened, not knowing how to explain it.

"Okay, I don't blame you. Anyway, this matter has been resolved. Cheng Zhili will definitely not dare to force the Xin family. Congratulations, you finally made it through."

Wu Xiao's tone was relaxed, Wu Lin blinked, wondering whether to believe it or not.

"Have you suffered?"

"What's the pain?"

"Cheng Zhili, did he—"

"No, what can he do to me? It's against the law to kill someone, and it's against the law to kill his own son. At most, he can only put me in confinement. Anything is better than you."

"Just locked up? Nothing else done?"

"Isn't it enough to be locked up?" Wu Xiao asked strangely, "It's already miserable to be locked up for such a long time, it's like going to jail."

That was really miserable, Wu Lin thought to himself, even if he was imprisoned for a year with good food and drink, it would be very, very miserable. Guilt and belated heartache made his heart sore.But Wu Xiao looked relaxed, so the wounds behind those smiles also became calm.Many years later, it wasn't until Wu Lin accidentally heard about those past events that he had been gently taken away that he realized how steep an abyss Wu Xiao had climbed with his bare hands in order to reappear in front of him.

"Then Cheng Zhili...is the money settled?"

"It depends on which solution you are asking."

"Ok?"

"The Du family canceled the engagement on the day you disappeared, but the contract signed before is still there, so the borrowed money still has to be borrowed. It's just that the old fox Cheng Zhili was put together by the Du family. Before we thought that if you and Du Yu couldn't get married, According to the contract, they will only share 70% of the remaining profit excluding the principal, but who knows that they secretly added a clause in the additional clause of the contract, saying that if the engagement is canceled due to our reasons and the Du family suffers huge losses, then they will They will take away all government compensation except the principal. Cheng Zhili was in a hurry to ask for money, and he didn't pay attention to these small terms when he signed the contract, so he was taken in by the Du family."

"So Cheng Zhili didn't get a penny of government compensation?"

"Yes, they were all taken away by the Du family. The reason is that you seriously affected their family's reputation. And because of the delay in distribution, the government also increased the compensation factor, so the Du family took more than they thought."

"Can Cheng Zhili agree?"

"Of course I don't agree, but the question is, what will he use to refuse?"

Take me, Wu Lin understood, that's why he desperately wanted to find himself.In Cheng Zhili's view, Wu Lin has become a commodity since the day he signed the contract with the Du family. This commodity can appreciate or depreciate in value, but it must not disappear out of thin air. Even if he is a broken second-hand commodity, he will Cheng Zhili packed them in various ways before selling them.You can have no people, but you can't have less money. This has always been Cheng Zhili's only rule of thumb.

"So I even wonder if the Du family didn't expect this marriage to happen at all," Wu Xiao continued, "You think, how could Du Yu, who is so frivolous, ask for marriage casually? , the most is to ask his father to ask you to go to play, get married or something, it should be the conditions that Du Jingsheng added."

"why?"

"Because Cheng Zhili didn't know that you were in a relationship with Xin Wangyun, but Du Jingsheng knew that Du Yu must have made it clear when he asked him for someone. So he even considered from the beginning that this marriage might not work out. The necessary additional treaty was added based on his guess. The big engagement banquet and the announcement of your marriage to the world is probably also to prove the crime of 'disgraceful reputation'. Otherwise, you think, it's just an engagement It's just a wedding banquet, is it necessary to invite so many people?"

The panic of being calculated layer upon layer crept up Wu Lin's scalp along his spine. It turned out that he and Wu Xiao were just small boats in the vast ocean. .And by mistake, she was pregnant with Xin Wangyun's child and insisted on hiding, which turned out to be a part of the advancement of this monstrous wave.

"So they actually wanted me to be pregnant..." Wu Lin's voice sounded desolate or fortunate.

"It's not that I want you to get pregnant," Wu Xiao smiled wryly, "They probably didn't expect to exceed their goals so much, you... you have given the Du family a surprise."

After the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole, a government compensation cannot feed two poisonous snakes. When Cheng Zhili approached Du Jingsheng, he probably didn't think that what he was seeking was not a blessing, but a bad reward.

"But there's one more thing I can't figure out," Wu Lin asked, "Since Cheng Zhili and the Du family have settled their debts, even if he doesn't want to and rushes to get me back, the Du family won't be able to accept me again. Return the money to him? I should have been useless to him long ago."

Amused by his younger brother's innocent question, Wu Xiao reached out and patted his head: "Who told you that it's all over? It's still short."

"Which one?"

"The money for selling your stomach."

"what?"

"Are you really stupid or fake?" Wu Xiao was convinced, "Cheng Zhili didn't get a single cent of the government compensation, and the interest on the usury and the initial investment in the land were equivalent to his own pocket. Do you think he can let it go like this? He sent someone to check all your travel records during that time when he knew you were pregnant, and it was easy to find out that it happened on the day of the engagement banquet. The hotel was completely closed that day, and there was no Cheng Zhili knows much better than you about the level of people who are open to the public and who can be invited to the banquet. If you can’t get money from Du Jingsheng’s fake in-law, can’t you get money from your real in-law? Omega protection law protects It's not just Omega alone, some 'family members' who are not as good as snake ghosts are waiting to be protected!"

"He wants to ask the Xin family for money?!"

Wu Xiao looked at his younger brother's ashen expression, folded his arms, and nodded helplessly.

"How can it be!" Wu Lin exclaimed almost with all his strength, "It's impossible for him to know that it was Xin Wangyun that night! I kept avoiding the cameras, and the driver of the Xin family was also very careful afterwards, so he couldn't possibly find out. !"

"It's really hard to say if you continue to hide."

Cheng Zhili has a wide network of contacts in Quanlin. It may be possible to not find Wu Lin in a year or two, but it is absolutely unreasonable if he can't find Wu Lin in three to five years.So Wu Xiao knew that if he wanted to resolve this situation, Xin Wangyun had to find Wu Lin before Cheng Zhili.Only when Xin Wangyun finds Wu Lin first, will Cheng Zhili lose the bargaining chip to blackmail the Xin family, and will he be able to completely give up his plan of blackmailing.

So during the more than a year of being locked up, no matter how hard or tired he was, he never contacted Wu Lin and Xin Wangyun.He made himself a complete outsider, and resisted Cheng Zhili's torment with a bravery that was different from ordinary people. He only hoped that the two people could quickly settle their suspicions.It's just that Wu Lin could bear it to such an extent for Xin Wangyun. If Xin Wangyun didn't have a little intelligence left, then he might really die at the hands of Cheng Zhili.

"Then are we safe now?" Wu Lin seemed to have not understood Wu Xiao's words, and asked tremblingly while pinching the quilt.

"I don't know about that. Talk to Xin Wangyun slowly. I think he's standing at the door and he's about to smoke. If you don't let him in, I'm afraid he'll tear down the door."

After finishing speaking, Wu Xiao patted his pants, then ignored Wu Lin's astonished gaze, got up and walked to the door, and opened it for Xin Wangyun.Xin Wangyun, who had heard countless conversations, had red eyes, Wu Xiao didn't bother to pay attention to him, and walked out sideways.

The sudden meeting after a long misunderstanding, Wu Lin was pushed in front of Xin Wangyun by Wu Xiao before he was fully prepared.He opened his mouth and looked at Xin Wangyun who was standing at the door without moving. His mind seemed to be filled with water, and he had no thoughts except feeling heavy.

"Wu Lin," Xin Wangyun's voice seemed to come from a distant wilderness, "Are you particularly disappointed in me..."
