Chapter 36: If your mind is not clear enough, go back and come back when you are sober

Her hoarse voice seemed to be blown away by the wind at any moment in the middle of the night, and the streetlights on both sides were dim and yellow, stretching her shadow long. The indescribable loneliness of falling on the wet ground.

Xiao Yun on the other end of the phone seemed to be busy and did not answer her words. I said a very businesslike word, and there was no sound on the other end of the phone.

It took four or five minutes before the voice came back from the other side of the phone. But this time it wasn't Xiao Yun's voice, but Tang Xu's. His voice was cold and indifferent, and he asked, "Where are you?"

Although there was no impatience in his tone, Song Yu could fully imagine that there must be impatience on his face.

Song Yu's eyes were calm, there was a moment of trance, he didn't answer his words, and said coldly: "Look where it's convenient for me to pass." ”

Tang Xu didn't argue with her about this, and asked her to go to the café that was open 24 hours a day downstairs in the new house, saying that he would go back immediately.

I don't know where he is.

Song Yu didn't ask, walked forward for a while and stopped the taxi, and after telling the driver the place, he kept looking sideways out the window.

In the middle of the night, there were few cars on the road, and small pieces of snow fell in the dim yellow street lamps. The driver in front of him cursed and chattered about the cold weather and the stress of life.

Song was at a loss, letting the pain in his chest spread wantonly.

There was no traffic jam on the road and it arrived quickly. However, Tang Xu's movements were faster than her, and he had already arrived when she arrived. Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the café, he lit a cigarette between his fingers and talked on the phone. He wore a black overcoat and had no expression of indifference on his handsome face.

Song Yu paid for the car and got out of the car, stood outside for a while, and then walked in.

There was no one in the café late at night, and even the waiters didn't know where they had gone.

As soon as she entered the café, Tang Xu's eyes swept over, he hung up the phone, took a puff of cigarette, and then snuffed out the cigarette butt and threw it aside. I sat down next to him.

Song Yu walked over, only to find that there was already a cup of steaming coffee on the table. It should have been just a few o'clock.

The café was quiet in the warm light, and she sat down.

Probably couldn't find anything to say, Tang Xu took a sip of coffee and quickly lit another cigarette, then glanced at Song Yu and asked, "What do you drink?"

Song Yu didn't speak, raised a pair of calm black and white eyes to look at him, and asked in a dumb voice, "You already knew, didn't you?"

Tang Xu paused slightly with the hand that held the cigarette to his lips, raised his eyes to look at Song Yu, and said coldly, "I don't know what you're talking about." After a slight pause, a sneer flashed across his lips, and he continued, "Or do you think I know something?"

He was completely indifferent. But this kind of Tang Xu is no stranger to Song Yu. She ignored the ridicule in his tone, raised a pair of eyes to look directly at him, and said word by word in a dumb voice, "I...... Dad, you're going to jump from upstairs, didn't you know?"

Subconsciously, she refused to believe that her father would commit suicide. But whether it is surveillance or the scene, it is used to prove that her father did go upstairs alone and jumped from the upstairs. She couldn't believe it.

After returning from the funeral home, she thought about the things after the marriage contract with Tang Xu came out over and over again, her father's abnormality, and the subtle atmosphere of the family that was different from the past...... is telling her that if all this is true, then her father's jumping off the building may have been premeditated.

She was in pain and heartbreaking, she should have noticed it a long time ago, but she was selfishly immersed in her own world, sad and sad. I didn't think to ask my father or find any other way to inquire.

So much so that now, her father has died, and she is still like an ignorant child, not knowing what happened. That's what led to what it is today.

She hated herself, hated herself for being selfish, hated that she had never thought of helping her father. I only know how to be the flowers in the greenhouse, and enjoy everything my father gives me with peace of mind.

To this day, she is still powerless.

But she knew very well if it was all premeditated. Then Tang Xu, even if he is not one of the premeditated ones, he must be the one in the know.

Like a cruel executioner, he pushed or watched coldly as his father jumped from the roof. And pretended to be nothing in front of her.

Cold-blooded, it makes people tremble.

Song Yu spoke every word he asked, and he cried blood. The piercing pain spread across her limbs, and her eyes turned red uncontrollably, but she forcibly held back her tears. Biting his lip, he looked at Tang Xu like that.

Tang Xu's eyebrows were faintly tired, impatience appeared on his handsome face, he looked at Song Yu coldly, and said, "If your mind is not clear enough, go back and tell me when you wake up." ”

He had no patience to deal with it, so he stood up and ordered coldly, "Send Mrs. Tang back." ”

Someone stood up from the table behind the bonsai at the end and said yes.

Song Yu only found out at this moment that there were other people here. It is Xiao Yun, who often follows Tang Xu's side.

She glanced at Xiao Yun expressionlessly, and then stood up and walked outside.

Tang Xu's steps were bigger, and when she arrived at the door, he had already arrived at the car, opened the door and got into the car. Song Yu was about to walk over without stopping, but he was stopped by Xiao Yun after walking two steps, and he said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Madam, the car is here, please go this way." ”

At this moment, Tang Xu had already started the car and drove away.

Song Yu closed his eyes and didn't look at Xiao Yun. Go to the side of the road yourself and stop the car.

Xiao Yun followed her inch by inch, and said politely: "Madam, please don't embarrass me." ”

Song Yu turned his head to look at him and said expressionlessly, "Take me to see Tang Xu." ”

Her tone was cold.

Xiao Yun's face couldn't see the emotion, he was still polite, and said, "You must be tired today, when you go back to rest, Mr. Tang will not see you." ”

indirectly echoed Tang Xu's words that Song Yu was not sober-minded.

Song Yu sneered and said, "I'm very sober now. She said word by word.

Her behavior looked probably unreasonable in Xiao Yun's eyes, and he said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "It's not early, I suggest you go back and rest first." ”

The people under Tang Xu's hands have fuel-efficient lamps.

Song Yu knew very well that there was no point in entangling like this any longer, so he was silent and did not speak.

Xiao Yun quickly went to drive the car over, opened the door and asked her to get in the car. Song Yu didn't do any more useless struggles and got into the car.

The atmosphere in the car was dreary all the way, and no one spoke. When he arrived at Song's house, he didn't wait for Xiao Yun to get out of the car to open the car door, Song Yu opened the car door and got out of the car.

The car drove away quickly, but Song Yu did not enter the house, and sat down on the stone stairs at the door, regardless of whether it was wet or not. Cover your face tightly with your hands.

Cold tears flowed down her fingers, and she fell silently on her knees. Let the tears burst down the embankment.

I don't know how long it took, but when she heard the sound of the door opening behind her, she quickly wiped away her tears and stood up.

It was Song Mian who came out, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Song Yu outside. said: "Where have you been?" Zhang's mother came out to see you a few times but didn't see you, and the phone couldn't get through. ”

He regretted letting Song Yu go out alone just now.

Song Yu lowered his head and covered his red eyes. Reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "Just walk outside." ”

Although she tried her best to cover it up, Song Mian couldn't see that she had cried. He was weak, and soon squeezed out a smile and said, "Then come in, you must be frozen." ”

Everyone is tired today, and Zhang's mother has rested. But it's a boiled ginger soup. After entering the house, Song Mian immediately went to bring out the steaming ginger soup, and said while letting Song Yu drink it: "Drink some to warm your body, don't catch a cold." The aunt was still asleep and never woke up. ”

Song Yu nodded and said thank you in a low voice.

Since she woke up, she heard about her father jumping off the building from Song Mian and Fu Jingan. I haven't seen her uncle and third uncle.

She picked up the hot ginger soup and drank it in small sips. The spicy smell rushed to her nose, and she almost couldn't help but cry again. She forcibly held back her tears, blew and gulped down the ginger soup in the bowl, and then asked in a low voice, "Uncle, ...... Is it on the company's side today?"

Her father's funeral needs to be dealt with, and the company's affairs need to be dealt with as well. She hadn't watched TV or read the newspaper today, but she understood that the news of her father's jump off the building was probably known to everyone at this moment.

It was not surprising that Song Mian would ask about this, and he answered yes.

Song Yu nodded, was silent for a moment, and asked again: "What is the company's side...... Are you alright?"

She had never been involved in her father's company, but she knew it. How much better it can be over there now. There must be a lot of talk now, and people are panicking.

Song Mian squeezed out a smile, got up to pour a cup of hot water for Song Yu in disguised panic, and said, "Don't worry about what happens over there, my father will ...... Processed good. ”

He said vaguely, looked at the time after speaking, and said, "It's not early, if you can't sleep, just lie down on the sofa for a while." Later, my dad and third uncle will come over after dawn. There may be other things going on during the day. ”

Yes, there's a lot going on during the day. The mother has fallen, and she cannot fall again no matter what.

Song Yu didn't know what he was thinking, he sat in a daze for a while, and then said, "I'll just lie down on the sofa, cousin, go and rest." Thank you for your hard work today. ”

Song Mian stuffed something in his throat, and after a few tens of seconds, he said, "Ah Yu, what are you polite to me?" After a slight pause, he continued: "I'm sorry Ah Yu, I can't help anything." ”

There was weakness in his tone, he knew that Song Yu was uncomfortable, but he was completely powerless about this discomfort. I don't even know what to do with my limited abilities.

Continuing on this topic will only make Song Yu more uncomfortable, Song Mian ended the topic in a hurry, and said, "Then I'll go upstairs, you can sleep for a while." You don't have to worry about Auntie, I'll watch. ”

Song Yu responded with a hello, and Song Mian quickly went upstairs. Song Yu was the only one left in the huge living room.

There seemed to be a father in the living room, sitting on the sofa, looking at her with a smile. Song Yu's emotions were completely uncontrollable, and he suddenly couldn't help but burst into tears.

Tears are always the most useless thing. No matter how painful it is, it doesn't change anything in the slightest.

Song Yu was in tears, until the pain in her eyes was so dry that she couldn't flow liquid, she sat in a daze for a long time, and the sky was white, she got up and went to the refrigerator to take out an ice pack to cover her eyes.

Her pair was red and swollen, and she couldn't see anyone at dawn.

She didn't even close her eyes that night, knowing that Song Mian would come down after dawn, she didn't sit anymore, took the thin blanket on the sofa and put it on her body, and lay down on the sofa.

The body sat stiff early, but the brain was unusually awake, and there was no sleepiness at all.

Not long after Song Yu lay down, there was a slight sound of footsteps. It was the familiar footsteps of Zhang's mother.

When Song Yu opened his eyes, he saw Zhang's mother's red and swollen eyes.

She obviously didn't expect Song Yu to wake up, and said a little helplessly: "Wake you up, Ah Yu, I want to cover you with another blanket, don't catch a cold." ”

She held a slightly thicker blanket in her hand.

Song Yu's nose was very sour, and he said in a low voice, "I'm not cold." It's still early, why don't you sleep more?"

Zhang's mother's eyes are red and swollen, and it is obvious that she didn't sleep much last night.

Zhang's mother covered Song Yu with a blanket and whispered, "I can't help much, so I want to get up early and make you some appetizing breakfast." ”

It was obviously depressing to continue this topic, she straightened the blanket and hurriedly said, "You sleep a little longer, I'll go boil some millet porridge to nourish the stomach." ”

She knew that everyone couldn't eat it, so she could only make something lighter. As he spoke, he hurried to the kitchen.

Song Yu looked at her slumped figure and said in a low voice, "Mom Zhang, thank you." ”

She grew up a lot overnight, and she no longer had the carefree nature of the past. Zhang's mother had mixed psychological feelings, looked back at her, and said, "You kid, what are you polite to me." It's going to be dawn soon, so let's sleep again. ”

She said and entered the kitchen, afraid of making a noise to Song Yu, so she gently closed the kitchen door to isolate the sound.

It's all here, where can Song Yu sleep. Just lying quietly on the sofa.

Not long after Zhang's mother got up, Song Mian's footsteps came from the stairs. Song Yu didn't sleep anymore and sat up from the sofa. Fold the blankets.

Song Mian didn't know if he slept or not, his eyes were still bloodshot. He wasn't surprised to see that Song Yu had already gotten up, and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you sleep more?"

He had the car keys in his hand and looked like he was going out.

Song Yu squeezed out a smile and said, "I've slept well." Her eyes fell on Song Mian's hand holding the car keys, and she asked again, "Want to go out?"

Song Mian nodded and said, "I'll go back and change my clothes, and pick up my dad and third uncle by the way." ”

Where did he go back to change clothes, there should be something wrong. Song Yu originally wanted to ask, but in the end he didn't ask. Nodding his head, tell him to drive carefully and be safe.

Song Mian said yes, and walked outside without delay.

Song Yu followed and walked out, seeing his car disappear at the end of the road, and was about to enter the house, when he saw this morning's newspaper in the newspaper box on the side. It should have been put on for a short time, and Zhang's mother hasn't come out to get it yet.

In the past, my father had the habit of reading the morning newspaper, so she paused slightly, walked over, and took out the newspaper.

As soon as he held the newspaper in his hand, a line of bold characters came into view: The ruler of the Song family jumped to his death yesterday, is he desperate, or is there something else hidden?

The font was placed at the top of the first edition, apparently as a headline.

Song Yu's hands trembled slightly, he didn't go any further, opened the newspaper, took the newspaper and flipped through it.

Her father's jumping off the building was not only made headlines, but also a small section in the back. It's all speculation about the hidden circumstances of jumping off a building.

In order to sensationalize the public, the literati never show mercy in their writings, and the words are heart-wrenching, and the knife is like cutting meat.

Song Yu only looked at a few lines for a short time, and he trembled with anger. It is purely to absorb eye-catching conjectures and speculations, and fabricate Song Zhiyuan's private life out of thin air. It's too much to say.

It's always just the icing on the cake, and there is very little charcoal in the snow. These are all to be expected. Song Yu looked through all the relevant pages, except for a report about the future development of the Song family, all the others were grandstanding.

With all the newspapers so flooded, you can imagine what the TV coverage would be.

Although Song Yu knew that the rumors outside would not be good, he didn't expect that the media would have such a low limit. When she saw the end, she was so angry that her face turned red and trembled, and she clenched the newspaper tightly in her hand. It took a lot of effort to refrain from tearing up the newspaper in his hand.

She hadn't completely lost her mind, and knew very well that even if she tore up the newspaper, it would be completely useless. Neither can clear his father's name, nor can he stop rumors. It's just a vent.

She took several deep breaths, and it took a long time before she gradually calmed down. Her hands were red from the cold, and she stood for a long time, making sure she didn't see anything unusual, and crumpled the newspaper into a ball and threw it into the trash can, and then entered the house.

She didn't believe the report, and she was worried that her mother would not be able to bear it when she saw it. The first thing I did after going in was to unplug the TV.

She knew that these rumors in the newspaper could not hide from her mother for long, but she still hoped that it would be hidden for a while.

After doing all this, she walked to the kitchen and told Zhang's mother that the TV was broken and that she would find someone to repair it, and then sat on the sofa, and then started to stay.

It was only at this moment that she realized how useless she really was. She didn't know anything about her father's company, and she didn't know much about the people in her father's company. I don't even know who my father's usual lawyer was during his lifetime.

If she wants to correct her father's name and crusade against the major media, she can only invite a lawyer to come.

She originally wanted to call Song Mian immediately, but in the end she restrained herself and waited for him and the third uncle to come over.

They must have known these rumors for a long time. It's just hiding it from her.

Song Yu's heart was heavy, and he sat on the sofa for a long time. It wasn't until I suddenly woke up that I remembered to go upstairs to see my mother.

I don't know how many tranquilizers the doctor used, Yu Manzhu is still asleep. Her face was pale, her lips were slightly chapped, she was not at ease in her dreams, and her brow was furrowed.

She wanted to reach out to soothe her mother's frowning brow, but she was afraid of waking her up. In the end, he didn't reach out.

Fu Jing'an was the first to come, and he had just entered the living room when Song Yu went downstairs. I brought a crab roe bun and shrimp porridge that she used to like. It's still steaming.

Seeing Song Yu, he smiled and said, "I bought it by Huang Ji by the way, come and taste it to see if the taste is still different from before." ”

Where to buy it by the way, Huang Ji's business is good, I'm afraid I went to line up early to buy it.

He had already said that, even if Song Yu had no appetite, he would have to eat some. The delicacy of the past tasted the same as chewing wax in her mouth, and she couldn't eat it anymore after eating a crab roe bun and a small half bowl of porridge.

Outside, the sky was still gloomy and gloomy. It was as if there was going to be a snowstorm at any moment.

Fu Jing'an didn't speak until Song Yu finished eating, and then he asked, "Is Aunt Yu's health better?"

Song Yu shook his head and said, "I haven't woken up after taking the medicine yesterday." ”

Fu Jing'an nodded and said, "Let the doctor come over and show Aunt Yu later." ”

Song Yu lowered his head, said hello, and then whispered thank you, Brother Jing An.

The two of them were silent for a moment. Fu Jingan didn't ask Tang Xulai. Not only did he not ask, but everyone in the Song Mansion, including Zhang's mother, did not ask.

Although Tang Xu and Song Yu are newly married, legally speaking, the two are already husband and wife. Tang Xu has not appeared in the Song Mansion since the accident, and no one has asked, which is obviously a little strange.

Song Yu's heart was pressing, and if others didn't ask, she naturally wouldn't mention it.

After sitting for a while, she originally wanted to ask Fu Jingan if she knew if her father was a lawyer before she could speak, but before she could ask, her eldest uncle and third uncle had already arrived.

In such a situation, no one is much better than the other. Although the two of them had changed their clothes, they both looked tired. At first glance, I knew that I didn't have much rest last night.

When they came over, except for Yu Manzhu, who hadn't woken up yet, Song Yu's eldest aunt and third aunt also got up. No one spoke at breakfast, although Song Yu had already eaten, he still sat at the dining table, slowly eating the red dates and millet porridge that Zhang's mother had made early.

No one at the table spoke, and after breakfast, Song Yu's uncle Song Zhiqin said, "Ah Yu, you come with me to the study." ”

Song Yu knew that he had something to say, so he said yes and followed him to the study.

Probably because of his age, the tiredness on Song Zhiqin's face couldn't even be hidden. He didn't beat around the bush, and after sitting down in the chair, he asked, "Ayu, are you...... What do you think about your father's death?"

People have already gone, and they always have to go into the earth first.

Although he had already been mentally prepared, Song Yu still couldn't control his stiffness when he heard this. The heart-rending pain invaded all the nerves in an instant, and for a moment, she couldn't even breathe.

Her body couldn't help but tremble slightly, she wanted to speak, but her throat seemed to be pinched, and she couldn't spit out a word for a while.
