"Xu'er, dad knows that he has neglected you before, but dad knows that you are a good boy, who has always been gentle and kind. You promise dad that after dad passes away, you must take good care of Dingjun and raise him..." Lie down The man who was only skin and bones on the hospital bed, who was obviously terminally ill, took the hand of a thin eleven or twelve-year-old girl in front of the bed and said angrily, staring at the girl with his eyes, as if the girl did not agree to him. , as if he refused to let go.
The girl was held tightly by his hand, her eyes were red, her whole body was trembling, her head was lowered, looking sad and at a loss.
The man on the hospital bed continued: "Although my family lost a lot of money due to business failure, there is still a little left, enough for you and your brother to live for a few years. Dingjun is young, but he is smart and reads well. He will definitely be successful in the future...Xu'er, you must provide him with education and let him get ahead in order to avenge our Wan family. Xu'er, promise dad to protect your brother..."
The man finished speaking breathlessly, but when he saw the girl, she was still silent and did not speak. His hand like a withered bamboo immediately used the last bit of strength to grasp her, and his pair of cloudy and bulging eyes Staring at Wan Xu'er: "Xu'er, promise dad! Take good care of your brother...Xu'er..."
At this time, Wan Xuer, who was silent and silent, finally raised her head. She used a little strength to shake her grabbed hand, and easily shook off the man's hand. She also wiped her tears. Her expression suddenly returned to calmness from fear and sadness, and then she shook her head mockingly at the man on the hospital bed and said, "I'm sorry, I won't promise you. What does your son have to do with me? He is your son, not mine. , you still want to throw this scumbag to me and let me continue to work for him? I can't do it..."
When the man heard what she said, his eyes that had become bulging and ugly due to illness suddenly widened in shock, and asked in disbelief: "What, what did you say?"
"Didn't you hear? Then I'll say it again. After you die, I will never care about your good son." Wan Xuer showed him a provocative smile, stared at him, and answered clearly.
"He is your brother!" The man stared at Wan Xuer, "I have raised you for more than ten years, and I ask you to protect your brother, and you are still unwilling?"
Even though he was very sick and weak, the fierce light in his eyes was still very scary. He never expected that a timid and cowardly concubine like him would dare to go against his request. How dare she? !
Of course Wan Xuer didn't dare in the past, but now that Wan Xuer's soul has been replaced by Shichu, she naturally dares to do so.
"Yeah, I just don't want to. You haven't forgotten what my life was like at home, right? When your business was good, you were popular and drank hot food, but my food and clothing expenses were not as good as those at home. Servant, I have to be beaten and scolded by you from time to time, but now you come to ask me to protect your son? It's a beautiful thought." Wan Xuer sneered.
The man's face turned ferocious, but after all, he knew that he was now terminally ill and would not be able to survive for a few days. He had to put his hope of taking good care of his son on his daughter, whom he had always ignored, so he endured this. With a forced expression of guilt, he said to Wan Xu'er: "Xu'er, it was my father's fault in the past. He didn't treat you well. He knew he was wrong, but all the mistakes were his fault alone. Your brother has nothing to do with it... When dad passes away, you and your sister will be the only blood-related relatives left in this world. No matter how you blame me, don’t blame your brother, okay? Even if you don’t Think about it for your brother, but also for yourself. In this troubled world, a young girl cannot live a good life. When you get married in the future, you will not be able to marry into a good family without your parents and brothers. If you have a brother, your family will It's different if you have a man. If you don't live well after you get married, he can support you... So Xu'er, only by bringing your brother can you live a better life in this troubled world..."
The man Jiao racked his brains to persuade Wan Xu'er. Knowing that she resented him for having treated her badly, he immediately wisely stopped trying to persuade her with the feelings of father and daughter or brother and sister. Instead, he stood in her position and tried to use his interests to persuade her. Bundle to convince her.
If it were an ordinary girl, she would immediately hesitate after hearing his words. After all, these bad years are indeed dangerous for an orphan girl. If she has a brother, she can resist a lot of malice.
However, now that he is facing Shichu who is wearing the shell of Wan Xuer, she will not be moved by his sweet words at all. How can any brother support her after marriage? But the tragedy of the original owner's life was all caused by this younger brother. Without this younger brother, she might not have lived a very good life, but she would certainly not have fallen to the end of contracting the disease and dying on the street.
Therefore, no matter how much this hypocritical father tried to reason with his emotions, she did not waver at all. Instead, she looked at his last struggle with ridicule: "After you die, your son will have to rely on himself. I will never do that." Never mind him, don't worry, I will change my surname and no one will know that I am your daughter. Whether your only bloodline can survive in the future depends on whether his life is strong enough."...
"Wan Xu'er!" The man finally couldn't hide the resentment and anger on his face: "He is your brother! You are such a wolf-hearted person!"
"I've inherited such a bad heart from you, you should be happy." Wan Xuer smiled, and then said hypocritically, "I hope your son has inherited this, after all, he will be an orphan in the future. , if you don’t be more ruthless, how can you live?”
The man's eyes turned red as he stared at Wan Xu'er, and his fierce gaze seemed to bite people. Unfortunately, he was now a toothless, sick tiger, with only an old and sick body. He was already frightened. Can't help anyone anymore.
Seeing the sarcastic look on Wan Xuer's face, the man finally realized how cruel she was, but for the sake of his only son, he finally lowered his noble head to his daughter, whom he had always looked down upon.
He immediately changed his face and turned into a sad, helpless, painful and desperate old father. He said with tears: "Dad, please, Xu'er, dad knows that you have resentment in your heart, but don't vent this resentment to you." On my brother's head, okay? Dad, please take good care of him and don't let the Wan family die. As long as you are willing to agree to this matter, you can even ask dad to kneel down and beg you..."
As he said this, he really wanted to use his weak body to get out of bed and kneel down to Wan Xuer, but he was too weak to get up.
Wan Xuer folded her arms and watched him perform with cold eyes.
