Fifty-Three The Love Buried by Time (Fifty-Three)
She didn't speak for a long time after the call was connected, and there was no sound on the other end of the phone. The sound of heavy breathing came through the radio waves.
Jingyu grew up with him and knew him too well. Even with just such breathing, she was sure it was him - Liang Shengyi.
"Are you okay?" She was the first to speak and break the silence. Her tone was neither cold nor hot, and there was no emotional ups and downs in her words. No surprise, no joy, and no anger.
Only, there was coldness.
As early as when he carried his luggage, cancelled the engagement and left her, her heart had already been chilled to the bone.
"..." On the other side, Liang Shengyi still didn't speak.
Jingyu sighed, "If you're fine, then I'll hang up."
Qi Jinnian noticed that her tone was wrong, turned his head to look at her, and quietly made lip shapes to her, "Who is it?"
Jingyu just gave her a look. Liang Shengyi was heard saying, "Xiaoyu, don't hang up..."
"..." Jingyu didn't say anything.
Liang Shengyi continued to speak: "How have you been recently?"
There was a bit of depression and haggardness in his tone, and it seemed that there were many unspeakable secrets.
"I'm doing very well." Jingyu replied.
"That's good." Liang Shengyi sighed. With a bitter smile, "I know that after I left, those debt collectors have troubled you. But don't worry, there won't be a next time. I have asked my friends in China to pay off those debts. Don't worry, they won't bother you again."
Hearing Liang Shengyi say this, Jingyu was not without doubts. The debt owed by the Liang family was a huge sum of money. Liang Shengyi had borrowed from friends before going abroad, but after the Liang family got into trouble, everyone didn't want to be associated with the Liang family anymore, so they stayed away from them. Jingyu was quite surprised that someone was willing to donate generously this time.
"This is a good thing." No wonder those creditors haven't come to her recently. She originally thought that the reason for calling the police last time had deterred them.
Liang Shengyi smiled bitterly and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Yu... have you found a new boyfriend?"
Jing Yu stared at the dark night outside the window and smiled, "Yes, I have. He is very good."
"Excellent?" Liang Shengyi seemed to be stimulated by this sentence.
There was a strong unwillingness in his words, "Yu'er, don't be fooled by his appearance! He is cruel and ruthless. Do you really think he is with you because he likes you? In fact, he has other purposes! Yu'er, believe me, he is lying to you! You can't be with him!"
He became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice rose high. The voice overflowed from the phone, and even Qi Jinnian could hear it clearly.
Jing Yu frowned, and Liang Shengyi's words made her feel that he was referring to something.
Qi Jinnian had already snatched the phone and said angrily, "Mr. Liang, our Yu'er hasn't told you who her boyfriend is yet, and you're so anxious that you're insulting her without knowing the truth. Aren't you too petty?"
"I..."
"What?" Qi Jinnian didn't give Liang Shengyi a chance to speak, "If you care so much about Yu'er, you shouldn't have run away at the last minute! Now you regret it and want to find our Yu'er again? I tell you, don't even think about it! Even if Yu'er agrees, I won't agree!"
"Qi Jinnian, this is between the two of us, don't get involved." Liang Shengyi's expression was cold.
Qi Jinnian said "Ha" without giving him face, "Do I need to get involved in your business? It's over a long time ago. Don't have any illusions about Yu'er, she has many suitors now!"
Jingyu was changing clothes nearby, and heard the two of them arguing on the phone, but didn't care. Jinnian was a powder keg, because she had been unhappy with Liang Shengyi for a long time because of her last breakup. Now that he called, it was naturally a direct blow.
Jing Yu was unwilling to talk too much with Liang Shengyi. It was over between them. Even if she would feel depressed when she thought about it occasionally, it did not mean that they could start over.
"Yu'er, Yu'er! You have a new call. Do you want to hang up Liang Shengyi's phone?" Qi Jinnian suddenly spoke.
Liang Shengyi heard it and gritted his teeth and said, "Qi Jinnian, you dare to hang up!"
Jing Yu said calmly, "Hang up. See who is calling."
Qi Jinnian smiled and said proudly to Liang Shengyi, "Did you hear it? Mr. Liang, I'm sorry, I'm going to hang up! Goodbye! No, never see you again!"
As she said this, she hung up the phone without caring what Liang Shengyi wanted to say.
"The phone is still ringing." Qi Jinnian threw the phone to Jing Yu.
Jing Yu took a look and saw that it was an unfamiliar landline number. She put it to her ear and heard the other side say: "Hello, is this Doctor Jing?"
"It's me."
"I'm your father's attending physician. The old man has just been discharged from the hospital, but some of the latest reexamination results will not be available until tomorrow, so please come and pick them up tomorrow."
Jing Yu thought he had misheard, "What did you just say? You said... my father was discharged from the hospital?"
"Yes. Doesn't Miss Jing know?" The attending doctor was quite surprised, "Just now the director came in person to explain the discharge procedures in the hospital."
Jing Yu: "..."
My father was discharged from the hospital, and the director was dispatched directly without the signature of the family members?
"So has my father been discharged now?"
"Yes. He was picked up by a car an hour ago."
"What car took him away?"
"Several black commercial vehicles took him away. Could it be that Miss Jing didn't know? Or was he picked up by other family members of the old man?"
Jing Yu immediately denied this possibility. Since the Liang and Jing families had an accident, they had almost no contact with their relatives. With their father paralyzed, no one would take the initiative to get close to them.
The only relatives left were Chen Wanzhi and Jing Rong. But these two people were impossible.
Yu Zeyao's face flashed through her mind unconsciously. In her life, perhaps only that man could be so unscrupulous and do whatever he wanted.
But why did he do this? What exactly did he want to do? Where did he take his father to?
Jing Yu only said a few words to the attending doctor and hung up the phone in a hurry. Qi Jinnian saw her pale face and asked worriedly: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Jing Yu was anxious. She didn't bother to reply, but quickly searched for the number that Yu Zeyao had called her before. After the call was dialed, she walked to the balcony, and there was a "beep--" sound in the receiver. In the meantime, she had never felt that these few sounds were so disturbing.
"Hello, hello." The phone was finally connected. However, the person who answered the phone was not Yu Zeyao, but Cheng En.
"I want to talk to you, Mr. Yu."
