Chapter 508 Old Hatred
Old hatred
A table, a chair, an old-fashioned sofa, a bookshelf and a desk lamp are the only furnishings in the study, which is not commensurate with the luxurious appearance of this wooden villa. Xia Jiling is not like the legendary business wizard and figure at all. He always has a gentle and kind smile on his face and looks more like an amiable uncle next door.
"It's a little simple, but I don't think you will mind. Just sit down." A carved ashtray was turned out from under the table. Xia Jiling handed it to Li Weidong with a smile and said, "I know you smoke. My asthma has improved over the years, so you can do whatever you want."
Li Weidong touched the ashtray, which was spotless. He also smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Xia has been living here since he was killed?"
Xia Jiling nodded approvingly and said, "You are very careful. It should be said that you have been here most of the time. The biggest feature of China is that as long as you don't offEND G.C.D., this country is the safest refuge. No one can find you, even in the most dangerous places.
Xia Ruoyun couldn't help saying, "But I don't understand. I'm obviously... obviously..."
"Yun'er, you want to explain that you saw my body, right?" After a moment of silence, Xia Jiling said, "I know that it must have made you very painful and sad at that time, but I had no choice. Nowadays, plastic surgery technology is very developed, and it is not difficult to arrange an identical double. As for the DNA identification report..."
"As for the DNA identification report, it's just that Interpol is fooling." Li Weidong pulled out a cigarette and lit it, saying, "In order to deal with the general and Yue Tianxiong, Mr. Xia has reached a secret deal with Interpol. The police have falsified for him and forged various certificates, including DNA identification procedures. There seems to be nothing in the world that is more credible and authoritative than the police report, so that even the shrewd people like Fang Zhennan and Yue Tianxiong, including generals, have been deceived by you. Yang Qianrou told me that her real behind-the-scenes boss is not ICPO, but someone secretly cooperates with ICPO. Of course, this person is you, right, Mr. Xia?
Every sentence of Li Weidong said was very direct, which more or less brought out the smell of ignition medicine, which made Xia Ruoyun a little nervous. She thinks that Li Weidong has never been the kind of character of pretending to be 13. Maybe she will be dissatisfied with some of her father's behaviors, but after all, it is her father, Li Weidong's future father-in-law!
Although Li Weidong and Xia Ruoyun have officially been married, that is the master of Lu Bohan, that is to say, the marriage has not been officially recognized by Xia Jiling. Now his father has come back from the dead. What if he is annoyed and opposes the marriage? Even if the marriage is free, it's not good to offend your father-in-law too much as a son-in-law. Otherwise, the marriage is not yet. The two son-in-law will make trouble first, won't it make people laugh to death!
Pig head! Even if you have any opinion, will you die to be gentle? Not to mention that you have already eaten more and occupied more, and you want to marry his two daughters! Xia Ruoyun secretly took Li Weidong's hand and coughed and motioned him not to get too angry. Xia Ruobing didn't see all of them and took Yang Xuan's Dopuda mobile phone to send a text message to Yao Wei.
Xia Ruoyun's little movements did not hide it from her father's eyes. She sighed slightly. Xia Jiling said, "Xiaodong, I know that you have a problem with me because I think I'm using you. I admit that you have done a lot of things for me, including dealing with Fang Lin, Yue Tianxiong, and the general, but I have no other choice. The people around me, even Yang Xuan, who was raised by himself, betrayed me. Who else can believe me? Without you, I, Xia Jiling, would not have stood here to meet you today, and even my two daughters would be more or less auspicious. However, Xiaodong, I hope you can believe that you are not part of my plan in the first place. Even if I take advantage of you, it is by no means my intention.
Li Weidong smiled sneer and said for sure. When Bingbing and I went to Guangzhou to participate in the jewelry exhibition for the first time, it was the beginning of your director's "homage" plan. At that time, I had just got equipment from the game world. Even if you had a foresight, you couldn't know where my ability came from, right?
"My hatred with Yue Tianxiong and all kinds of entanglements with the Lu family originated from a ridiculous marriage 19 years ago." Xia Jiling opened the window and looked at a large area of blooming cherry blossoms outside. His expression suddenly became a little gloomy. "Yingbing, I really understand that you don't recognize me as a father today. It's just that some words have been buried in my heart over the years, and I think it should also let you know the truth of that year. Even if you will blame me for hating me, at least listen to the following passage.
Bang, the mobile phone in Xia Ruobing's hand fell to the ground, and her hand trembled slightly because of nervousness. In fact, on the way here, she faintly felt that she would mention the old things of those years and told herself over and over again that she didn't listen or pay attention to anything. However, when her biological father brought up this topic, she couldn't put down the question that had been entangled in her heart for many years. The sentence "I don't want to hear" was in her mouth, but Yes, but I can't say it.
"The Xia family used to be a hopeful family. Zengzu Zheng'an Gong once worked as a Taoist and a four-grade member during the Tongzhi period. Later, he abandoned his official business because he offended Li Hongzhang and went to Shanghai to run a ship port business. Until the Japanese came, Shanghai fell in the 26th year of the Republic of China. My grandfather was killed by the Japanese for secretly helping the National Government transport drugs. The ship port was closed down, and the Xia family was also killed and arrested. From then on, it fell. Even my father's livelihood became a problem, so he had to go to Hong Kong to make a living.
"When I was 16 years old, my father died of illness, and I had to give up my studies and go to Lu's jewelry as an apprentice. Because I was down-to-earth and smart, I soon emerged and was appreciated and reused. From apprentices to managers to group assistants, I gradually became the old man's confidants. At that time, the Lu group was in the sky, but there had always been an old enemy, the Zou family in the mainland. The two families have been fighting secretly for decades. Due to a decision-making error, the Lu family's industry was almost cut off. Fortunately, I saw through the Zou family's plan and solved the crisis. The old man was happy and announced in public that he would marry Miss Lu, Yun'er's mother, to me and recruit me as a son-in-law, but it was this decision that became the introduction to all kinds of hatred later.
"Lu Bohan's two daughters, the eldest daughter is quiet, but the second daughter is lively and outgoing. Because I often go to Lu Mansion, we often meet with Jingjing - Bingbing, your mother. Over time, we have feelings, but the rules of the Lu family have always been very big. So I didn't dare to mention it to the old man. It was not until that the old man announced his decision in public that day that I realized that the problem was serious. I planned to find an opportunity to confess to him, but I didn't want him... In order to win over the Yue family, who was also a member of the six major Hakka gangs, when he announced my marriage to Yingying, he actually gave Jingjing to Yue Tianxiong!"
"Because there were celebrities from all walks of life at that time, you can imagine that if I tell the truth, the Lu family will definitely lose face. In order to take the overall situation into account, I can only accept this fate joke. If the matter ends here, even the pain will not lead to so many entanglements, but..."
Xia Jiling's shoulders trembled, and he held the window lattice and gasped for a long time before he gradually calmed down. There was a trace of haggardness from his back. Xia Ruoyun couldn't help shouting, "Father, your body..."
Xia Jiling shook his hand and continued to say, "Jingjing was studying in the UK at that time. When she learned that I had a marriage with her sister, she was also betrothed to Yue Tianxiong and rushed back to Hong Kong overnight. Unfortunately, I happened to go to Taiwan because of business. As a result, she misunderstood that I had changed my mind and agreed to the marriage with Yue Tianxiong in anger. Until she returned from studying abroad, she accidentally knew the original origin, and ran away on the eve of the wedding and found me. That night, I only remember drinking and crying with her. It was not until I got drunk until the next day that I found out that... that we had a skin relationship.
"Jingjing has a straightforward temperament. She has always dared to love and hate, and dare to act. She made up her mind to be with me, but at that time, Yingying was already pregnant with Yun'er. In desperation, I had to confess everything to Yingying. Yingying's nature was opposite to her sister's. She was quiet, virtuous, and generous. She knew that if these things spread, she would lose the face of the Lu family. In order to take into account the overall situation, she acquiesced in me and Jingjing's affairs, and she didn't say anything to anyone. However, there was no impenetrable wall in the world. Soon after, the incident spread. Naturally, the old man was furious and vowed to kill me with shame, and what surprised me more was that another thing happened.
"Of course, it was also embarrassing for the Yue family to escape from marriage. The Yue family broke up with the Lu family. Yue Tingshan, also known as Yue Tianxiong's father, said another marriage for his son in order to save face. He is the apple of the East Asian ship king, and the two families can also be regarded as a family. Unexpectedly, although Yue Tianxiong had only met Jingjing a few times, he fell in love with her at first sight and vowed not to marry her, so that Yue Tingshan, who was finally angry, died of a stroke. When the matter between me and Jingjing came out, Yue Tianxiong naturally blamed everything on me, thinking that I killed his father and tried every way to kill me!"
"In the face of the pursuit of the Yue family and the Lu family, I could only hide from the world. Fortunately, the two sisters Yingying and Jingjing did not leave me. In addition, Yun'er and Bingbing's birth, although I was worried every day, it was the happiest time in my life. But I didn't expect that fate played a cruel joke on me again. I, I, actually killed Jingjing, the most beloved woman in my life!"
"What?! Say it again, you killed her?!"
Xia Ruobing jumped up and stared at Xia Jiling, almost unable to believe her ears. Xia Jiling's face became paler and paler, and he was short of breath. He pressed his chest hard and couldn't speak. Xia Ruoyun choked and said, "Bingbing, don't be excited. My father is not in good health, or... Let me say it for him. At that time, my father fled to Taiwan with my mother and aunt in order to avoid being chased. At that time, he had a severe asthma attack. One night, the aunt got up and fed him medicine. His father happened to wake up, and there was no light in the room. He saw a figure standing in front of the bed in a daze. He thought it was a killer sent by the old man or the Yue family. As a result... The result was..."
"Enough! I don't want to hear it!!" Xia Ruobing's tears gushed out, and her shoulders trembled and said, "Xia Jiling, do you want me to hear you say this today? Let me know how my father killed my mother with his own hands? I have been a lonely person since I was a child. Other children have been wronged. I can rely on my parents' arms to act coquettishly, so I can only hide in the corner of the wall and cry! Do you know how I feel? Do you know how many times I dreamed of my parents coming to pick me up? Well, now you tell me that my father killed my mother. Do you want me to forgive you, or do you think I'm not pitiful enough and want to be more cruel to me!!!!! You, you... hello..."
Before he finished speaking, Xia Ruobing suddenly shook, and her whole body fell straight back. Li Weidong quickly held it with his eyes. Her eyes were closed, but there was still a pulse. It turned out that she fainted for a moment. Pressing hard in her for a few times, Xia Ruobing snorted and slowly exhaled. Seeing that Li Weidong was stunned, he jumped into his arms and cried loudly.
Xia Jiling couldn't help crying at this time. He fell weakly on the chair and said, "Bingbing, I know I'm not qualified to ask for your forgiveness. I, I'm a murderer!" I have no face to face you, let alone your mother's spirit in heaven! But I still want to tell you all the truth. Even if you hate me, at least you won't be confused all your life, and you don't even know how you came to this world, right?
Xia Ruoyun also didn't care about the pain of the wound. She struggled to get out of the wheelchair and held her sister's hand and said, "Bingbing, I know these things will be difficult for you to accept, but don't you think your father is also a victim? Because of my aunt, my mother also left her father. From then on, he lost the two most important women in his life. He was more worried that the hatred with the Lu family and the Yue family would be involved in you, so he sent his daughter far away from the mainland. Even if these are all God's punishments, don't you think fate is just as cruel to him!"
Li Weidong seemed surprisingly calm at this time. What he just said from Xia Jiling's mouth was basically the same as what Xia Ruoyun and Lu Bohan told him. The father and daughter calmed down a little and said, "Mr. Xia, what happened later?"
"You should have guessed what happened later." Xia Jiling lowered his head and sighed and said, "The reason why Mr. Lu can gain a foothold in the provincial port is largely because of the support of the organization. I worked for him before and also had a deal with the general. Until I completely broke with the Lu family, the general appreciated my ability and let me work for the organization on the condition of calming my hatred with the two families. Under the circumstances at that time, I had no choice at all. Although Yue Tianxiong agreed to reconcile with me on the surface, and even the three of us became brothers under the help of Zou Changlong, I know that the hatred for me in his heart will never be eliminated. He is a very tolerant person. He must be waiting for the opportunity to send the most deadly blow to me!"
Li Weidong suddenly frowned slightly and said, "The reason why Zou Changlong wants to sworn brothers with you and Yue Tianxiong must be to deal with Lu Bohan together?"
Xia Jiling smiled bitterly and said, "In addition to interests, what else can make people become friends in the world?" As I just said, the Zou family and the Lu family were old enemies. Zou Changlong had just succeeded the position of the head of the family at that time. When he saw the Yue family break with the Lu family, I humiliated the old man and thought that his opportunity had come. But in fact, he still underestimated the strength of the Lu family. The four King Kong under the old man's command, especially the boss Chen Feng and Lao San Lianqinghou, one is very powerful, and the other is a famous think tank. Together, coupled with the foundation of the Lu family in Southeast Asia for many years, there is almost nothing to shake. Even the general and his organization have to tolerate the old man.
