Chapter 42 A Complete Disaster

Since it is a private club, the security is usually very tight, not to mention a special day like today. All guests need to go through identity verification before they are allowed to enter, and the heavy black iron gate will only be opened when cars come. This also means that it is impossible for someone without an invitation to enter alone.

After I went out through the side door, I looked around a little and found Ji Chenfeng not far away.

He was wearing a black down jacket, holding the phone in his left hand and his right in his coat pocket, leaning quietly against the wall of the courtyard covered with dry vines. Because of the cold, the auricles were frozen red.

I ran in such a hurry just now, but when I really saw him, I slowed down, and every step was extremely difficult.

"Morrowind..." I calmed down my rapid breathing, came to him, put down the phone that was still on the call, and called his name softly in a voice that was aching from the cold wind.

He raised his head, stuffed the phone back into his pocket, calmly... or looked at me coldly. At that moment, the surroundings were clearly safe, but I felt like I was under attack. Skin, tongue, guts, all churning together and tingling. I had no resistance to this unknown attack, and even my breathing seemed to be in pain.

"Let's go in and talk, I can explain it all."

It's not a good place to talk with people coming and going around. I want him and I to go in, go out into the yard, find a corner where no one is around and explain the engagement first. Afraid that he would refuse, he reached out and tried to pull his hand, but felt a strange touch through the down jacket.

"……what happened to your hand?"

Surprised, I quickly pulled up his sleeve to check, and found that his right palm to half of his forearm was covered with a solid plaster cast. A week ago, his hand was apparently still intact.

I thought about the few calls I didn't receive, and guessed, "Is that why you called me that day?"

"No." Ji Chenfeng denied it without pausing for a second. With a gentle pull, he broke free from my shackles and put his hands back into his pockets, "Let's go, don't you want to talk somewhere else?"

He was really pissed.

Curling my fingers, I retracted my hand, hung it by my side, nodded at him, and said, "Come with me." After speaking, I turned around and walked towards the gate of the villa.

In front of the villa there is a large garden covering an area of ​​more than 2,000 square meters. There are several tall camphor trees in the position against the courtyard wall. Roughly speaking, the trees are also a hundred years old.

Yu Ji Chenfeng stepped on the snow and walked to the corner, a relatively hidden location. I irritably copied my hair, and focused on the key points.

"Gu Ying and I are fake, it's just acting. She has a boyfriend, but her parents don't agree, so there's no way to be together in an open and honest way, and I... need her to deal with the family under a guise. We won't get married. The marriage between the Sang and Gu families is just a product driven by interests, and after two years of resource replacement, the interests have been exhausted, and our marriage contract will naturally be terminated."

Ji Chenfeng listened to me quietly, there was no sign of being persuaded, his expression remained unmoved, his dark eyes also looked very gloomy, and the whole person seemed to be integrated with this cold snowy day.

I swallowed and felt my body lose a little bit of temperature, and a huge fear shrouded me, almost overwhelming me. And I don't even understand why I feel so afraid of Ji Chenfeng.

It's just a vague idea in my heart - if I don't do something, he may disappear. I can't catch him.

This unease prompted me to step forward and embrace him, holding him tightly. Grabbing the fabric on his back, I said hoarsely, "Doctor Ji, don't you believe me? I really didn't lie to you, I can ask Gu Ying to confront you face to face. There will be no change between us, I It belongs to you completely, and no one can take it away..."

"Come with me."

I froze, thinking I heard it wrong. It has already been explained so clearly, how could it be possible to make such a ridiculous request?

However, what Ji Chenfeng said next completely dispelled my self-deception.

"Don't get engaged to anyone else. Come with me, and leave now." He hugged me back with one hand, tightening his strength slightly, "As long as you leave here with me, I'll treat it like nothing happened."

Get out of here together? Leaving behind forty or so guests and running away from marriage with a man holding hands under the eyes of the Sanggu family?

Even if there is a choice, this option is unlikely to be adopted by me.

It's too bad, horribly bad.

"No!" I pushed him away suddenly, not understanding why he was forcing me to do such a terrible thing, and even more afraid that he would drag me out of the door regardless. Today, whenever there is an accident related to Ji Chenfeng, the consequences will be unbearable for me.

I can't let this engagement banquet become a joke for the entire Hong Kong business district, absolutely not.

"I can't do it." I took two steps back and opened the distance from Ji Chenfeng.

Because of this move, the ice in Ji Chenfeng's eyes shattered. He seemed to finally admit that I was just a hypocritical liar, the indifference that served as a defense collapsed, and his face showed the disbelief and deceived anger that he suddenly learned the truth.

"You can't do it?" The end of his eyes blushed, "If you can't do it, why make a promise so easily?"

According to the Bible, don’t those people who say that they should never give up also say divorce and then get divorced? People are changeable, what is a promise?

"I've already explained it to you, it's just a show, nothing happened to me and Gu Ying." The banquet was about to start, I didn't have much time to talk to him here, "I'll call a car to take you back first. .Wait at night, I'll explain it to you in detail when I get home at night. If you still feel angry, you can punish me however you want, okay?"

I put my tone softly, thinking that Ji Chenfeng would eat this set, but as soon as my hand touched his arm, he reacted violently and waved it away.

My fingers were aching, I looked at him in astonishment, and then the strings that had been tensed in my mind were shattered by the disgust in his eyes.

disgust? How could he look at me like that? I gave him everything I could give, just because I didn't tell him the fake engagement with a woman, and hated me just because of that?

What is that string? Might be sensible. I don't know, it could be my "mask" too. The internal organs were cluttered together again, and in pain, I did not withdraw my hand, but changed the target and firmly grasped the front of his shirt.

"What the hell..." I gritted my teeth and wanted to ask him what he wanted me to be satisfied with, but a third person's voice came out in the supposedly secluded and remote corner.

"Don't pretend it's you, I know it's you. I've checked that villa, and it's your Shi family's property. Now you tell me that what happened that day has nothing to do with you. Who the hell are you lying to?"

The snow was creaked, and Zheng Jieyuan stopped about three meters away from Ji Chenfeng and me, and the people behind him also stopped.

"What does it have to do with me when you got drunk and was thrown on the mountain by a prank? Do you have any evidence that I did it? There are so many people in the Shi family, and I am not the only one who can get the house key." The second person He spoke lazily, and there was no doubt that the voice was Shi Hao.

The guest list this time was drawn up by Sang Zhengbai and Gu Ying's parents. I knew there was the Shi family, but I didn't know that Shi Hao was also here.

I froze on the spot, Zheng Jieyuan was fooled, but Shi Hao was difficult. Fortunately, the trunk of the camphor tree was thick and the light was not good in the shade, so the two of them did not notice the existence of Ji Chenfeng and I.

"Apart from your Shi family, who else hates me so much? Did you fucking tell anyone that you are on me...the one on me..." Zheng Jieyuan hesitated, unable to say anything.

"Which one? What's wrong with you?" Shi Hao said intentionally.

Ji Chenfeng glanced at the two people in the distance, held my hand, and pulled it apart little by little, and said in a voice that could only be heard by each other: "You are afraid that they will know about my relationship with you, right? ?"

I wasn't sure what he was going to do, so I shook my head and begged him in a softer voice: "Don't..."

Ji Chenfeng stared at me for a long time, as if it was the first time he had the opportunity to observe me so carefully.

"You never let the people around you notice our relationship. Whenever someone finds out about me, you move in a panic." He let go of my hand, and the corners of his lips raised sarcastically, "She is your rightful name. Fiancée, and I'm just your underworld lover. So... who are you playing with?"

My throat tightened and I didn't know how to answer his question. Without waiting for me to say anything, Ji Chenfeng took a deep look at me and then turned around decisively, without any scruples about Shi and Zheng, and strode past them, heading towards the gate.

I just chased two steps when I was stopped by Zheng Jieyuan who heard the movement.

"Sang Nian?"

No, can't go.

Ji Chenfeng's figure was getting further and further away, I forced myself to look away, took a deep breath, and turned to Zheng Jieyuan.

"Sorry to interrupt your conversation."

Let's coax it later at night, have to deal with the engagement banquet first.

When Zheng Jieyuan saw me, he immediately ignored Shi Hao and ran towards me: "I have nothing to disturb, and I have nothing to say to someone like him. Sooner or later what he owes me will be paid back, but today is your great joy. Let him go first, and I'll settle the account with him next time."

Behind him, Shi Hao sneered and glanced at Zheng Jieyuan with a half-smile, his eyes fixed on my face.

"You're busy today."

He took out a cigarette case from his pocket and bit one between his lips. He snapped the lighter and leaned over slightly. Soon, the cigarette butt was lit.

"Who is that?" He breathed out the white mist, and with the cigarette between his fingers, he lit the back of Ji Chenfeng, who was about to disappear.

The alarm bell rang in my heart immediately, and there was a faint warning in my tone: "Don't bother those who bother you.".

After staring at each other for a moment, I looked away, left with Zheng Jieyuan, and returned to the main building.

The engagement is fake, but the banquet is real. At noon it was dinner with the guests, and in the evening, it was a family banquet for the Sanggu family. It wasn't until after nine o'clock at night that I was able to get out.

Because of drinking, I can't drive a car, so I can only ask Tang Bian to take me to Fly City.

"Master, what are you doing there at night?" he muttered, "it's so messy there."

I took off the ring on my hand and put it in my coat pocket. I didn't say anything to him, just urged him to hurry up.

As soon as the car was parked, I staggered and got out of the car. Tang Bian wanted to help me, but I pushed him away and let him wait in the car.

The snow on the long steps has not been cleaned by anyone, and it has long been trampled into solid ice, and it is impossible to walk without supporting the guardrail on the side. And the guardrails were icy and wet, and every few steps I would stop to blow a breath of warm air into my frozen palms.

Just walking and stopping like this, I finally arrived at the door of Ji Chenfeng's house. Before knocking on the door, I specially tidy up my appearance, and I went through the manuscript again in my mind about how to coax him later. After confirming that everything was safe, I knocked on the blue iron door.

As if he knew it was me, he didn't ask. Footsteps came from far and near behind the door. Then, with a creak, Ji Chenfeng pushed open the dilapidated door.

He opened the door, looked at me blankly for a long time, turned back to the house, and left me alone outside the door.

The smile that had just been lifted on the lips lost its only audience, it was difficult to maintain, and it quickly withered like a short-lived flower. I entered the room, closed the door, took off my shoes, and stepped on the tatami in my socks.

The small living room was only lit by a dim orange lamp, which cast a false warm color on the furnishings in the room.

The bedroom door was open, and it was dark inside. It didn't look like anyone. Could Yan Shanhua still be in the hospital? Ji Chenfeng said that she still needs to do some examinations. Is it a hospital examination?

"Don't be mad at me, I also have a lot of last resorts, I didn't mean to lie to you..." I said, taking off my coat, trying to make up for my relationship with Ji Chenfeng by lowering my posture.

As for how low... it depends on Ji Chenfeng's needs.

"I'm so cold, why don't you come and hug me?" My fingers landed on the buttons of my suit pants, and I vaguely invited him.

He stood across the low table from me, the expression on his face did not waver in the slightest.

"It doesn't work every time, Sang Nian."

For a while, I felt embarrassed, and he said it as if I was dealing with him with my body.

Frowning, I picked up the coat beside me in disappointment, and brushed off the dust that didn't exist on my head.

Don't do it, don't do it, who cares.

"I found this when I was cleaning my mother's room today." He pointed to the low table in front of him and asked me, "Do you know what this is?"

After he reminded me, I realized that there was something on the table. After a closer look, the blood all over his body coagulated from head to toe.

On the small table, there was a thick stack of paper, each with different contents written on it. The handwriting is beautiful, sharp and powerful...

is the letter. Over the past three years, Ji Chenfeng has written to me. The letters that should have been given to me, but were hidden by Yan Shanhua... those letters.

I should have told Yan Shanhua to let her hide it, why was Ji Chenfeng found?

"This is..." Even though I had made countless rehearsals in my heart, I still couldn't expect such a thing to develop.

Ji Chenfeng walked to the cabinet by the wall, opened a drawer, and took out about twenty neatly stacked envelopes of different designs.

"And these, do you know what's written on them?" He threw the envelopes containing the greeting cards at my feet, asking questions that had already been answered.

In a daze, I staggered back and looked down at a greeting card that slipped out of the envelope at my feet. On the cover on a white background, three kinds of moon phase changes are printed, which looks like a mid-autumn greeting card. But even so, I have no way of knowing what was written in it. It's too foreign to me.

"Sang Nian, you haven't received my letter to you at all, and these greeting cards are not your reply letters to me, right?"

I looked up blankly, not knowing how to face Ji Chenfeng's sharp questioning.

The glass of the skyscraper collapsed, and in front of me was no longer an untouchable, quiet and harmless blizzard, but a total disaster.
