Looking at the bright moon

After walking out of Wen's house together with Jing Yuan, Ling Yi thought she was dreaming for a long time.

Regardless of his father's cold face, he repeatedly looked at Jing Yuan who was sitting in front, and couldn't believe that Wen Mingyu was willing to let him go.For the last time, Jing Yuan finally met his gaze from the rearview mirror, and said with a smile, "It was a false alarm, didn't I, I didn't think I could survive either."

Ling Yi didn't want to talk to him, so she turned her head to the side and asked in a business-like tone, "Did he talk to you about any conditions?"

When it comes to conditions, Ruan Hejiang on the side is unhappy.No one knows better than him how difficult Wen Mingyu is to dismiss.In order to redeem his son from the other party, Ruan Hejiang not only paid a sky-high ransom, but also signed a very unequal contract with Wen Mingyu. In the future, doing business will inevitably open the door to the Wen family.If it is said that doing all this is for his son, he still thinks it is worthwhile, but if it is Jingyuan, Ruan Hejiang wished that he would die a hundred times, so how would he be willing to pay for this person.

Jing Yuan also seemed to see his displeasure, and said: "My nephew is Wen Mingyu's own son. My father killed his uncle. If such rumors spread, wouldn't it be called the embarrassment of the younger generation? Wen Mingyu values ​​it so much. My own child, for his sake, will let me go no matter what."

Ruan Hejiang seemed to want to say something, but before he could speak, Ling Yi rushed forward and said, "In this case, why are you still sitting here? You are no longer a member of my Ruan family. If you don't get out of here, I will also I don't want to see you again, go as far as you can!"

Jing Yuan smiled nonchalantly: "Master Ruan is willing to give me a ride. When I get to Huqing, I will definitely leave and won't disturb you."

Looking at his smile, Ling Yi felt a pain in her heart, and even her eyes were burning.He had already made up his mind not to care about Jing Yuan's life or death from now on, but now he heard the other party say so lightly that he would not bother him, he was still so angry that his internal organs seemed to be on fire.He didn't respond to Jingyuan's words, but turned to his father and said: "What is his identity, is it worth sending him specially? You let such a person dangle in front of my eyes all the time, I can't even eat."

"Look at you, you are not big or small!" Ruan Hejiang scolded him, but there was no anger on his face, he just said: "No matter what, Mr. Sheng is willing to risk his life to follow me to rescue you. I appreciate it very much. He will be with your master and servant, and I will send him to Huqing, and it will be considered as the last bit of my master's kindness."

Hearing these words from her father made Yi even more uneasy, but she didn't say anything more.From Yannan to Huqing, the journey was uneventful, just like what Ruan Hejiang said, after they got off the boat, Jing Yuan said goodbye to him, got in a car and left.Ling Yi watched the car go away in a daze, Jing Yuan left so plainly, so plainly that he didn't even realize that this was a farewell.Ruan Hejiang seemed to be unable to stand it any longer. He patted his son on the back and said with a sneer, "When he left, he didn't even turn his head. No matter how reluctant you are, he won't be able to see him anymore."

Ling Yi was extremely embarrassed by her father's words, and she denied it flatly: "Who is reluctant to leave, I just feel dizzy after sitting on the boat for a long time, and I want to blow some air here. If you are in a hurry to go back, let them take you home first." .”

Ruan Hejiang tapped him several times with his fingers, as if he wanted Qiu Hou to settle the score: "You have stabbed such a big basket, and you didn't say a word of remorse, but you have the nerve to yell at your father. You have learned the rules. where it goes?"

In this matter, Lingyi really couldn't lift her head up in front of her father, and she didn't dare to talk back, so she had to follow Ruan Hejiang back with her head depressed.As soon as he got home, Ruan Hejiang asked his servant to pack his things, and proposed to send him to a villa deep in the mountains, saying that it was to make him reflect on his previous mistakes.But Lingyi knew very well that what his father did was not so much punishing him, but protecting him.The accident he caused in Yannan is bound to spread to Huqing's side. At this time, if he blatantly appears in the sight of the public, he does not know what kind of disturbance will be caused.

But at Lingyi's age, it is very regrettable to let him hide behind his father like a child.Lingyi strongly objected, but in the end she couldn't resist Ruan Hejiang's insistence and her mother's tears. The next day, she left home by car and lived in seclusion in the mountains for a few days.But after all, he is used to living a life accompanied by others. He has lived in such a deserted place for a long time, and he is bored every day, and he thinks about Jing Yuan a lot.At first, when he thought of him, he would be accompanied by some curses, wishing that he would die alone from now on, but as time passed, the curses took on other meanings.For a lifetime of being alone, how long will Jingyuan's life last?

On this day, Lingyi couldn't bear her wild thoughts anymore, she quietly went down the mountain with her servant on her back, and wandered around a town at the foot of the mountain.Today may be the day of the assembly, and the town is full of people.Very lively.Lingyi bought a bag of coconut candy and ate it while walking, passing a pond. By the side of the pond stood a few children, throwing tiles on the water, competing for whose tiles floated farther. .

Ling Yi couldn't help smiling, and when the children were gone, he also wanted to put down the candy in his hand and play secretly.The candy has been eaten by him to the last few pieces, revealing the black letters under the newspaper wrapped in candy.Ling Yi unintentionally glanced at it, but her mind was jolted as if being hit by an electric current.The title in the middle of the line contains the characters "Ruan Hejiang", "Opium", and "Strict Investigation".Ling Yi hurriedly shook off the candy, searched the newspaper over and over again, and learned that the publication date was two days ago.In two days, with his father's methods, everything could be settled.

There is no access to his residence, and it takes half an hour to take a sedan chair from there to the foot of the mountain.When Lingyi rushed home, her face was flushed from running, and the shirt at the vest was soaked with sweat.The servants were startled seeing him in such a mess, and he didn't explain anything, just urging the servants to prepare the car.In such a hurry, he finally arrived at the Ruan Mansion around ten o'clock.The house was still the usual way, his mother was sitting in the garden, smiling as she watched the girls around her gather together and play with a kite.Seeing him, his mother seemed to be taken aback, and said in surprise: "Ling Yi, why are you back?" Ling Yi said, "I have something to see Dad, is he at home?" Xiangfang opened a picture, hesitantly said: "He..."

Mrs. Ruan was Miss Jiao at home. After marrying into the Ruan family, she was still cared for by her husband and son, and she couldn't even tell a lie.Seeing her embarrassed look, Lingyi became even more anxious, and just said "I'll go find him." Without saying goodbye to her mother, she hurried to her father's study.When he went upstairs, Ruan Hejiang heard the wind first, and was waiting in the living room. He raised his voice to stop him, and blamed him: "You are so big, and you are not stable at all. I tell you to stay in the mountains more often." Stay for a few days, why don't you listen to me?"

Ling Yi stopped and looked at her father for a long time, but couldn't find any clues from Ruan Hejiang's face, so she stepped forward and said, "Dad, how are you doing at home these days?"

Ruan Hejiang said: "You have made such a big mess, and you are concerned about your mother and me. We are fine, everything is fine, if you have nothing else to do, you should hurry back to the mountain." Ling Yi said anxiously : "But... I read the newspaper, the amount of opium I transported to Yannan is not small, if the people from the Yamen track it down, how are you going to deal with them?"

When the matter of Yannan was mentioned, Ruan Hejiang straightened his face immediately, and said coldly: "This little trouble, but it won't bother me. But you, if you hang out like this again, it will only cause me more trouble. You If you want to be bored alone in the mountains, let your mother find a few of your friends to stay with you for a few days, and the matter will be resolved in a short time."

After talking about it, his father didn't tell him the solution, but tried every means to urge him to go back to the mountain.Ling Yi couldn't let go of her mind and wanted to ask a few more questions, when she suddenly heard a loud bang coming from the study room, which shocked everyone present to look in that direction.Ling Yi immediately turned her head to look at her father, in disbelief: "Gunshots? Dad, why are there gunshots in your study?"

Ruan Hejiang's complexion changed, he pushed him away and rushed to the study, halfway there, he turned around again, and shouted at Ling Yi: "Don't follow, go back!"

Ling Yi didn't react at first, but seeing his father's nervous appearance, a very terrifying thought suddenly emerged from his mind.In the scorching summer, he got goosebumps all over his body, ran across the corridor ahead of his father, and pushed open the closed door of the study.The curtains of the room were all drawn firmly, and several layers of thick silk curtains covered the inside like it was late at night. Ling Yi turned on the light with a snap, and heard his father calling him from behind: "Ling Yi, don't go in!"

After all, it was too late for him to speak, the light suddenly came on, Ling Yi's hand was still on the switch, she stood stiffly, as if she had been hollowed out from the inside out, staring blankly ahead.

Jing Yuan sat on the chair in front of his father's desk, still holding the gun in one hand, and covered his chest with the other, which was a completely instinctive action after a person suffered a serious injury.Dark red blood gushed out from between his fingers almost constantly, so much blood, such a large expanse of red that was scary.Jing Yuan's face and lips were completely colorless, after seeing him, the other party's eyes widened slightly, as if a little surprised, but also showing sadness.

"Jing Yuan...Jing Yuan!" Ling Yi didn't know how he came to the other party's side, he opened his hands hastily, and didn't dare to touch the person in front of him.When Ruan Hejiang stood in front of the door, he held onto Jing Yuan's shoulders. Jing Yuan's body was shaking, or he was shaking, so Yi had no time to tell, and shouted to his father, "Dad, call the doctor!" Ah, Jing Yuan was shot, please find a doctor quickly!"

Before he finished speaking, tears were streaming down his face, and raindrops hit Jing Yuan's face like raindrops.Since the two met, Jing Yuan had never seen him shed so many tears. He called him, but Ling Yi didn't seem to hear, and was still begging his father.Jing Yuan had no choice but to use some strength to hold his hand and shake it, but this person's hand was actually colder than his.

Ling Yi finally looked down at him, choked up and said: "Jing Yuan..." He raised his hand to hold the wound on his chest tightly, almost exerting all his strength.Jing Yuan became dazed in the pain, thinking to himself that he hadn't held the gun for a long time, and this shot was not accurate enough.The most unfortunate thing is that Ling Yi arrived just at this moment, and fortunately, the shot was not too accurate, so he still had time to say goodbye to Ling Yi.

It took a long time for Jing Yuan to squeeze out a voice from his throat: "Why are you here?"

"What did you say?" Ling Yi couldn't hear clearly, so she put her ear close to his lips.So Jingyuan said it again, but it was in an exclamation tone, not asking a question.Ling Yi looked at him, Jing Yuan's eyes were almost pity, but his sad eyes were already a little lax, and his shadow was vaguely reflected in the clouds and fog.

"Father!" Ling Yi called again, if he hadn't hugged Jing Yuan, he would have rushed over to shake Ruan Hejiang: "I beg you, save Jing Yuan, it will be too late, Dad!"

Jing Yuan convulsed in his arms, the weak twist coming out of the musculoskeletal, it was almost unstoppable.Lingyi hugged her tightly in horror, trying her best to cover the gradually cooling body with her own body temperature. He heard his own crying, but he couldn't believe that it was him crying.Jing Yuan sighed: "It's useless, don't make things difficult for your father."

He raised his hand with the last bit of strength, supported Lingyi's chin, and wiped the tears from his eyelashes.It turned out that when the tears just fell, they could be so hot.

"Ling Yi, don't hate me, and...don't love me." Jing Yuan's voice became softer and softer: "Forget me, I'm not worth being remembered by you."

In order to achieve his long-cherished wish, he told more and more lies, and told less and less truth. The hatred turned him into a complete liar.Ling Yi is a completely different person from him. The other party has a beautiful family and a bright future. Now all he can give Ling Yi is the last bit of sincerity from a liar. I hope Ling Yi can listen to him.

His eyes stopped on Ling Yi's face, and the melancholy in his eyes dissipated, replaced by a slight daze.Ling Yi waited for a long time, but she couldn't wait for Jing Yuan's next sentence. The daze was forever frozen in Jing Yuan's eyes, and there would be no other emotions to replace it.

Ruan Hejiang finally came to them and stroked Fu Lingyi's shoulder.He didn't expect such a dramatic scene to happen today, so it took him a while to speak: "The accident in Yannan was caused by him, and it should be settled by him in the end. Dad called him here today to talk about this matter."

Speaking of this, he involuntarily put his hand into his pocket, which contained Jingyuan's confession, which was just given to him by that person.But he didn't expect Jing Yuan to be so ruthless, before he could do anything, he rushed to kill himself.As if Ling Yi didn't hear his words, she still hugged Jing Yuan tightly, her voice seemed to be torn out from her heart, almost wailing.Ruan Hejiang couldn't hear his son crying like that, shook him a few times, and called softly: "Lingyi, Lingyi? You know he lied to you, so why feel sad for him?"

"I can't keep him..." Ling Yi finally uttered a word with sobs, raised her head, and looked at her father sadly: "Father, I still haven't kept him."
