C425 Syncope
"Impossible!" Without hesitation, Soong Shiyan said, "It seems that there is no need for us to continue our discussion."
"Why? You didn't even think about it for a second, and then you just turned it down — or did you really already have someone you liked? " Huo Mingshen looked at Soong Shiyan and asked with some heartache.
Seeing that Huo Mingshen had been asking her this question since last night, Soong Shiyan just gave up on it. She nodded and said leisurely: "Last night, I already told you that I have someone I like — do you think I'm lying to you?"
"Yes, you're lying to me!" Huo Mingshen looked at Soong Shiyan with sad eyes and said with a sad tone.
Seeing this, Soong Shiyan continued, "I have to say, you guessed right last night, the person I like is indeed Huo Mingyang!"
Huo Mingshen was so shocked by Soong Shiyan's words that he retreated a few steps, only then was he able to stabilize his body. When he looked into Soong Shiyan's eyes, he discovered that there was not the slightest bit of avoidance in them. His eyes reddened as he muttered, "Impossible, absolutely impossible … Back then, you obviously liked me, and you even said that you would protect me for the rest of my life — Jing Sung, don't tell me you're going back on your words? "
"You know that, that was back then," Soong Shiyan said with a sneer. "At that time, I really did like you. Because not only did you save me, you even extended your hand at my most helpless moment. That's why I like you. That's why I promised to protect you. But now, you are strong enough. You are Huo Mingshen, not the weak and weak Lentinus edodes that needs someone's protection! "
Hearing that, Huo Mingshen felt like his entire body had lost all of its strength, as if a big hand was squeezing his throat, making him almost unable to breathe. He looked at Soong Shiyan with a sad face and tears glittering in his eyes. After a long while, he finally opened his mouth and asked, "Huo Mingyang, what's so good about him? Didn't you always hate him? "
From the moment Soong Shiyan had said that she liked Huo Mingyang, Huo Mingyang had been standing outside the tea room. He had clearly heard the conversation between Huo Mingshen and Soong Shiyan in the tea room. When Huo Mingyang heard Soong Shiyan say that she liked him, the smile on his face didn't disappear for a long time.
"I hate him only because he was always against the lentinus edodes. But then, in my time with him, I realized that he wasn't as bad as I'd thought. Especially after I found out that you were still alive, my hatred towards him completely disappeared. "Soong Shiyan said," Huo Mingshen, at this point, you can't blame anyone else. If you have to blame someone, you can only blame yourself. If it wasn't for you faking your death back then, I wouldn't have fallen in love with Huo Mingyang. "
Huo Mingshen's hands trembled uncontrollably when he heard this--he didn't expect that the person who pushed Jing Sung to Huo Mingyang's side would be himself!
"So, if you really don't want that money, then, from now on, there is no longer any relationship between us. I also don't owe you anything." Soong Shiyan continued.
"Jing Sung, are you really so cold and heartless?" Huo Mingshen looked at Soong Shiyan and said in a choked voice with a hint of bitterness.
"That's right. From start to finish, I have been this heartless. Do you think people who have died before would be as soft-hearted as they were in the past?" Soong Shiyan looked at Huo Mingshen and said leisurely, "Huo Mingshen, remember my words. From now on, you must never appear in front of me again, and even more so, don't disturb me!"
Saying that, Soong Shiyan turned around mercilessly. She closed her eyes with a cold expression on her face. Then, she opened her eyes and prepared to leave. Unexpectedly, before she could even take a few steps, someone grabbed her by the waist.
"Let go!" Soong Shiyan said coldly.
"Jing Sung, don't go. I beg you, don't leave me." Huo Mingshen's voice was filled with despair and sadness, "As long as you are willing to forgive me, I can forsake everything regarding Huo Family. If you want to leave this place, I can give up everything and leave with you. "
Soong Shiyan stood rooted to the spot, stunned for a moment. She didn't say anything for a long time.
"Jing Sung, say something …" Huo Mingshen said quietly.
Warm wetness came from Soong Shiyan's neck, causing her heart to soften a little. She didn't expect Huo Mingshen to lower his voice and say these words. She also didn't expect Huo Mingshen to shed tears for her. She had even thought that after he returned to normal, he would no longer be the him from before in terms of Gaoshun Island.
Huo Mingyang stood outside the tea room and listened to what Huo Mingshen had just said. Through the glass, he saw the trace of emotion on Soong Shiyan's face, which made her put away all the spikes on her body in an instant. He stood there worriedly, clenching his fists and staring at Soong Shiyan's reaction — — Don't agree to Huo Mingshen!
"Let go!" Soong Shiyan sighed inwardly. Her tone was as cold as ever. Seeing this, Huo Mingyang heaved a sigh of relief.
Huo Mingshen shook his head. He tightened his arms and held Soong Shiyan tightly in his arms. "I won't let her go! Unless you promise to never leave me, I will never let you go! "
Soong Shiyan struggled a few times. She did not expect Huo Mingshen's strength to be so great that he was unable to break free from her grasp.
"In this life, I will never forgive someone who deceived and betrayed me again!" Soong Shiyan sighed and said faintly, "So, Huo Mingshen, don't waste your energy."
Huo Mingshen turned Soong Shiyan around, looked into her eyes, and angrily said, "Soong Shiyan, it's really that hard for you to forgive someone, right? Yan Duoya and Yinn Haoming cheated you and betrayed you in order to harm you. But, the reason I lied to you back then was because I wanted to become stronger. I didn't want to be protected by you anymore, but to protect you! Furthermore, the reason why Huo Mingyang approached you back then was only to obtain Huo Family from your hands. "
Soong Shiyan looked into Huo Mingshen's eyes and said in shock, "What, what are you talking about?"
Seeing Soong Shiyan's reaction, Huo Mingshen finally realized that he had accidentally revealed Soong Shiyan's real identity. He looked at Soong Shiyan, his expression evasive as he muttered, "Jing Sung, I, I …"
"How do you know who I am?" Soong Shiyan looked at Huo Mingshen with a wary expression.
Since she was Soong Shiyan, Xue Zhaowu was skeptical and wouldn't mention it to anyone. Therefore, other than her, there were only four people present: Lin Lang, Tiankui, Ye Faang, and Yan Duoya. However, Ye Faang had already passed on, and it was impossible for a dead person to speak. As for Yan Duoya, she was already in prison. Her vocal cord was severely injured, and with the incident at the hospital, everyone in the prison thought that she had lost her mind. She believed in Tiankui and Lin Lang. They would never tell their real identities to an outsider like Huo Mingshen.
Seeing that Huo Mingshen didn't answer, Soong Shiyan's gaze turned colder.
Seeing Soong Shiyan, Huo Mingshen could only explain one by one: "Last year, when we were still at Gaoshun Island, I already knew. That day, our uncle took us to the dock and you were kidnapped. When we returned in the rain at night, you were sick. On Christmas Day, when you woke up and went to see Yinn Haoming's wedding broadcast in the village room, if I hadn't caught up with you by then, you would have already jumped off the cliff. You told me that you were killed by someone, and at that time, I started to suspect your identity. "
"Later on, when you said that you wanted revenge, I brought you back to the Huo Family. And then, after I returned to normal, my grandfather told me that you were wholeheartedly trying to obtain the Soong Family, and adding on to that what you had said to me before, I guessed that you were the real Soong Shiyan. "
Hearing that, Huo Mingyang, who was hiding outside the tea room, was shocked — Jing Sung was actually the real Soong Shiyan! But, wasn't Jing Sung's real identity Dijin? How could she be Soong Shiyan?
Thinking about it this way, it seemed to be true. At that time, when the woman called "Rose" came to work with him, she had once said that Dijin had lost her memory, and had forgotten everything that had happened in the organization, thus she was able to leave the organization. What if Dijin hadn't lost her memories, but was already dead? What if Soong Shiyan had borrowed her corpse to pay back her soul?
How incredible, even absurd, to borrow a corpse for a soul! However, there were many things in this world that could not be explained with science.
"Yes, you're right, I'm really Soong Shiyan." Soong Shiyan looked at Huo Mingshen and admitted frankly, "Since you already know my identity, then, I think you should also know why I won't forgive the person who betrayed me!"
"Jing Sung …" Huo Mingshen whispered.
"My only family was killed by the man I loved deeply, and those who protected me and helped me all died miserably in the end. At first, I didn't know Yan Duoya's true face. I went to her, but she took the opportunity to let me be tainted by a group of thugs and wanted to sell me to Africa. It wasn't easy for me to escape, but I was burned down by Yan Duoya's men. I barely survived, and in the end, I fell into their trap. I was cut in the face by Yinn Haoming, and in the end he threw me into the sea — — "Soong Shiyan's face was expressionless, and she said calmly," If you were me, after experiencing the same kind of experience as me, I think you would also be like me, no longer easily forgiving someone who cheated or even betrayed you.
Huo Mingshen only knew that Soong Shiyan's death was caused by Yinn Haoming and Yan Duoya's men, but he didn't expect that the things she experienced back then would be so terrifying that it would make one's heart ache. He wanted to hug Soong Shiyan and comfort her, but she pushed him away in the end.
Soong Shiyan raised her head and looked at Huo Mingshen with an indifferent smile on her face. It was as if what she said just now wasn't something she had experienced personally, but something else.
"Since you know who I am, I think you should remember. My father and I saved your life in the car accident where your mother died. "Later on, you also saved me — between us, let's call it even!" Soong Shiyan turned around and walked away after she finished her sentence.
Huo Mingshen looked at her back and still chased after her. He just didn't dare to reach out to stop her.
Soong Shiyan walked to the door of the tea room and saw Huo Mingyang standing there, seemingly waiting for her. Seeing this, she couldn't help but slightly frown — — When exactly did Huo Mingyang stand here? Did he hear what he said to Huo Mingshen?
Soong Shiyan originally wanted to ask Huo Mingyang why he was standing here, but after some thought, she told Huo Mingshen that she liked the matter regarding Huo Mingyang. So Soong Shiyan asked softly, "What are you doing here?"
Seeing that Soong Shiyan did not question him, her voice became softer than before, Huo Mingyang immediately understood her intention. So he walked over to Soong Shiyan with a smile and said to her, "You came out of the teahouse as soon as I arrived. Have you finished talking? "If you're done talking, I'll send you back!"
Soong Shiyan originally wanted to reject Huo Mingyang's suggestion. However, she smiled in front of Huo Mingshen and said, "In that case, let's go together!"
Hearing that, Huo Mingyang also smiled. He reached out his hand and held Soong Shiyan's hand. Soong Shiyan's expression froze a little, but she did not break away from Huo Mingyang. Instead, she slowly walked out with him.
"Halt!" Huo Mingshen's angry roar came from behind.
Soong Shiyan and Huo Mingyang did not stop because of his words and continued walking forward.
Huo Mingshen quickly walked in front of Soong Shiyan. His eyes were red as he looked at her. He was choked with emotions and almost begged her, "Jing Sung, don't go …" And don't go with Huo Mingyang.
Soong Shiyan looked at him coldly, then pulled Huo Mingyang and walked past Huo Mingshen without looking back.
A "dong" sound came from behind him. It sounded like a heavy object had landed on the ground. Soong Shiyan's footsteps paused as she heard the commotion. Huo Mingyang also stopped and looked at her nervously. However, Soong Shiyan still did not turn back as she walked forward expressionlessly.
The old man and the butler also arrived at the tea room. Seeing Huo Mingshen lying on the ground, the butler shouted worriedly: "Young Master!" Therefore, he rushed past Soong Shiyan and Huo Mingyang and headed towards Huo Mingshen.
Soong Shiyan walked straight to the old man's side, smiled and said to him: "Old man, I know what you're afraid of — don't worry, I have never had any intentions towards your Huo Family. From today onwards, I will never have any further interactions with that darling grandson of yours."
Hearing that, a hint of shame surfaced on the old man's face. However, when he saw Soong Shiyan and Huo Mingyang holding hands, the guilt in his heart disappeared without a trace. He looked at Soong Shiyan and said leisurely, "In that case, little girl, you must remember what you said to me today."
Soong Shiyan nodded and walked out with Huo Mingyang.
"What happened to Mingshen?" Seeing that Soong Shiyan and Huo Mingyang had left, the old man hurried over to Huo Mingshen and asked the butler.
"Old man, young master has a fever." I'm guessing that Jing Sung left with Huo Mingyang, causing the young master to suffer a huge blow which caused him to faint. " The butler replied as he looked at the old man.
"Didn't Mingshen just follow the coaches and train his body? How could he have a fever? Immediately call the private doctor, get him to hurry over to Huo Family, and give Mingshen a proper check up. " The old man said worriedly.
"Okay, old man, I'll call the doctor right away." After saying that, the butler quickly took out his phone.2
The old man called Yu Yun and his bodyguard, bringing Huo Mingshen back to his bedroom.
The old man sat by Huo Mingshen's bedside, looking at Huo Mingyang lying on the bed with a pale face, beads of sweat unceasingly appearing on his forehead. He wet the towel himself and applied it to his forehead.
"Lordmaster, let me do it." The butler said as he stood at the side and looked at the old man's slightly struggling appearance. With that, he decided to take the towel from the old man.
"No need, I can do it myself." The old man shook his head at the butler, his hands still moving.
"Caraway... Spice … "Don't go..." Huo Mingshen muttered. His voice sounded so humble.
The old man sat at the side and looked at Huo Mingshen's weak appearance. He couldn't forget Soong Shiyan even when he was unconscious. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Butler, tell me, did I do something wrong?" The old tutor turned to look at the steward at the side, a hint of regret in his voice.
Hearing this, the butler also sighed. He looked at the old man and said, "Old Master, this matter isn't your fault. If it were anyone else, I believe they would have made the same choice as you — but …" The butler wanted to say something but hesitated.
"But what?" The old tutor asked with some curiosity.
"The lordmaster is troubled by his concerns. You were such an open-minded and intelligent person in the past, but when you encountered your Young Master's matter, you were still muddle-headed in the end – Huo Family is already as rich as a nation, even if your Young Master fell for a beggar who was filled with debts, I think that Huo Family would not have much of an impact on him. If you are worried that the organisation backing Jing Sung will cause her to do something harmful to her Huo Family, I think that is because you do not trust your young master's ability. I feel that no matter what intentions Jing Sung has towards Huo Family, the Young Master will be able to make the right decision. " the butler said.
"Butler, tell me, what should I do now?" The old man asked.
"Actually, I think you'd better not do anything. Regardless of whether Jing Sung would do anything that would harm his Huo Family, the young master still had his own ideas in his heart. If you continue to destroy the relationship between young master and Jing Sung, as you have now, it will only alienate the relationship between you and the young master. " The butler said in a deep voice.
"However, this has already been accomplished. There is simply no chance for it to be saved at all." The old man wore a look of regret.
"That being the case, from now on, no matter what the young master does, the old man won't interfere any further — you're old now too, and will live the rest of your life early, not asking about matters of the younger generation."
Hearing this, the old man nodded his head, agreeing with the butler, "You're right. After so many years, I have been guarding this Huo Family for Huo Mingshen. I am also tired. "Oh, forget it. No matter what Mingshen does in the future, I will not interfere."
