C11 (2/2)
After telling everything to Meng Zhiwen, his entire person was still in a daze, without even the slightest bit of spirit. Whether it was Yi Yuanze's ridicule towards him before or Meng Yunhan's helpless but determined breakup, they had completely destroyed all the perseverance in his heart. At this moment, he could no longer find the motivation to take back Meng Yunhan.
Sitting at the bar counter, Gu Jing blankly stared at his phone, and finally drank the entire cup of wine in front of him, maybe because of the alcohol, Gu Jing had dialed Yi Yuanze's number.
”What's the matter?” Yi Yuanze's impatient voice came from the other side of the phone. Although he did not want to hear Gu Jing's voice, he did his best to suppress the emotions in his heart.
Perhaps it was due to the alcohol paralyzing his nerves, Gu Jing laughed out loud, holding a cup of wine that had just been poured full. After drinking a mouthful, he slowly opened his mouth and said: ”Yi Yuanze, what qualifications do you have to return to the side of the cold? ”The person who accompanied her abroad all these years was me. You don't have the qualifications to fight with me for her. You shouldn't have appeared in front of us again …”
Yi Yuanze who was on the other end of the phone was very serious, which also aroused his anger. He originally wanted to hang up, but suddenly, Gu Jing opened his mouth and started talking again.
”In the heart of the cold, you are the person she hates the most in her entire life. She will never forgive you because she has decided … Back then, it was you … Left behind... ”She …” While talking, Gu Jing no longer made a sound, and he actually fell asleep in front of the stage.
”Hey …” Yi Yuanze looked at the phone, it was indeed still ringing, but Gu Jing who was on the other end of the line did not make a sound, nor did he hear clearly the last words he said.
Yi Yuanze hung up the phone call. He did not take the matter of Gu Jing calling him that night to heart, because he felt that it was unnecessary, because this phone call was merely made by a lovelorn, and the person who called him to complain.
Meng Yunhan did not know about Gu Jing getting drunk in the bar, but even if Yi Yuanze did, he pretended not to know.
Meng Zhiwen was lost in thought for a long time, and finally walked out of his room. It was already late at night, but he was not sleepy at all, and Meng Yunhan's current mood was the same as his, messy and uneasy.
Standing outside Meng Yunhan's door, Meng Zhiwen reached out to knock on it, but his hand remained suspended in midair for a long time without making a move. He seemed to not dare to knock, and he was even more afraid of what Meng Yunhan would say after he opened the door.
Meng Yunhan seemed to have heard her father's sigh from outside the room. She tried to stand up, but her legs were a bit numb, so she could only hold onto the wall and slowly stand up, hands on the doorknob, but she did not open the door.
Outside the house was a father who didn't dare to knock, and inside the house was a daughter who didn't dare to open the door. They just stood there, silently, just like that.
It was unknown how much time had passed before Meng Zhiwen finally opened his mouth and asked softly, ”Xiao Han, are you asleep?”
Meng Yunhan did not reply, and she even covered her mouth to not let herself make any sound.
Unable to get a response, Meng Zhiwen thought that she was already asleep, so he turned around to return to his room. But just as he turned around to walk a few steps, the door opened.
”Dad, why aren't you sleeping this late? Is something the matter?” Meng Yunhan did not know that Gu Jing had already told everything to his father, so she forced a smile to hide her sad heart.
Meng Zhiwen did not speak, he only slowly walked in front of her and gently hugged her, then said: ”Xiao Han, no matter what happens, you should tell me, I am your father, even if the sky is falling down, I will still be holding up.”
”Dad, it's nothing serious, I can take care of it myself.” Meng Yunhan thought that the words her father had said were referring to her and Gu Jing's relationship, but he didn't know that she had misunderstood.
”Xiao Han, I know. This is no small matter, I don't want you to die for the hospital.”
Hearing this, Meng Yunhan seemed to understand the situation, but she still pretended to be stupid and did not admit it, and said: ”Father, what are you talking about? How could I have lost my life for the hospital? ”
Meng Zhiwen released Meng Yunhan and looked at her, frowning slightly. He looked a little unhappy and said: ”Gu Jing has already told me everything, if the only way to save the hospital is for you to marry Yi Yuanze, I would rather watch the hospital close down.”
Meng Yunhan originally thought that as long as she did not say it, her father would not know. But she had forgotten about Gu Jing, ”Dad, it's already too late …”
”What's too late? I won't gamble your marriage for the hospital. Go and tell Yi Yuanze that I don't want his money, and that I'd rather watch the hospital close down than marry you. ” The more Meng Zhiwen spoke, the more agitated he became. He even pushed Meng Yunhan to make a phone call.
”Dad, don't be like this, listen to me …”
”I won't listen. No matter what you say, I won't agree.” Meng Zhiwen turned his face to the side. Right now, he was not only angry at Meng Yunhan for making such a decision but he was also angry at himself for not being able to make his precious daughter sacrifice so much for him.
Meng Yunhan reached out to grab onto his father's sleeve, but was thrown away, ”Father, ever since I knew why you had to put in so much effort to manage the hospital, this is no longer a matter for you alone. You said that I'm also a part of the hospital, and that I'm your daughter as well, and that I have the responsibility and duty to bear all the sadness and joy with you.
Meng Zhiwen's eyes suddenly became wet. She was afraid of seeing this kind of situation, which was why she chose to bury so many things in her heart and not tell Meng Yunhan. But everything had changed now.
Seeing that her father had stopped talking, Meng Yunhan thought that she had slowly begun to persuade him, so she continued to speak: ”Besides, everything is about to succeed, if nothing goes wrong, the funds will arrive tomorrow afternoon, and the hospital's crisis will be solved. Dad, this is good news.”
”If you insist on doing this, then... ”Don't recognize me as your father.” After heartlessly throwing down those words, Meng Zhiwen walked into his own room without looking back, leaving Meng Yunhan standing there foolishly on the spot.
