Chapter 210: Something Happened
The old mansion was very depressing, and it was so heavy that people were completely out of breath. Inexplicably, there is a feeling that the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings. The bright living room was even more eerie at this moment, like a monster that could swallow everything with its mouth open.
Song Yu was still walking, Wen Yi was called away from the kitchen, and entered the old lady's room with Tang Yao.
Everyone knew that the old lady was confessing her last words, and although the people in the old mansion were terrified, they were so quiet that there was no sound. No one bothered to talk about anything. Only the eyes looked at the room where the old lady was from time to time.
After Tang Xu came out of the old lady's room, he stood by the window of the living room, he ignored Tang Chengen's gloomy gaze, took out a cigarette and smoked it.
I don't know if it was a fall or what, but the child in the living room suddenly cried. In this space that is almost suffocating, it is extremely harsh and abrupt.
Xue Zhaoying's brows furrowed, and just as she was about to reprimand the child, Tang's mother said, "The child should be sleepy, take it upstairs to rest." ”
Xue Zhaoying glanced at Tang Chengen, answered yes, and hugged An An.
originally thought that Tang Chengen was going to be here, but he didn't, he got up and picked up Tang Ning, and whispered to coax the family of four to go upstairs together.
Tang Xu was looking out the window, and now he turned around and looked at the back of Tang Chengen who was going up the stairs, his eyes were deep and deep, and he couldn't see what he was thinking at all.
The cigarette in his hand was finished shortly after Tang Chengen's family of four went upstairs, he glanced out the window, extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand, opened the door and walked out.
I don't know if it's because she didn't have a good rest, Song Yu was dizzy, and she was about to make a cup of coffee in the kitchen for a while when her mobile phone rang.
She took out her mobile phone, and the call turned out to be from Xiao Yun. She subconsciously looked in the direction of the living room, looking for Tang Xu's figure.
Tang Xu was naturally not there for a long time, Song Yu looked at the phone screen again, picked up the phone, and fed.
Xiao Yun was polite on the other end of the phone and said, "I'm outside the old mansion, Mr. Tang asked me to send you back." ”
Song Yu couldn't help but be stunned at this moment, he didn't know what medicine was being sold in Tang Xu's gourd. But she didn't ask anything, said yes, and said to go out immediately.
Xiao Yun on the other end of the phone snorted, paused and added, "You just come out directly, you don't have to say hello to anyone." ”
Song Yu responded with a hello, hung up the phone and went outside.
At this time, no one noticed her, and she quietly walked out of the old mansion.
Xiao Yun was really waiting outside, standing by the car. After seeing her say hello briefly, he opened the car door.
Song Yu whispered thank you and got into the car. The car started quickly, and the old house in the rearview mirror became farther and farther away, and finally turned into a black dot.
Song Yu retracted his gaze, wanting to ask something, but in the end he didn't ask anything and remained silent. It was Xiao Yun who was in front of him who spoke after a few minutes: "Mr. Tang has ordered, don't come here after you go back." After a slight pause, he continued: "If someone calls you, you can just find an excuse to push it down." ”
Song Yu didn't know what Tang Xu meant. But she didn't ask anything, and simply said yes.
No one spoke, and the car was silent. At this time, it was already dark outside, and there was a bit of loneliness on the lanterns.
Song Yu didn't know what he was thinking, and kept looking sideways out of the window. Xiao Yun, who was driving in the car in front, looked at her from the rearview mirror, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he fell silent and didn't say anything.
In the past, this was the peak time for getting off work, and there was always a traffic jam. But today there is no traffic jam at all, and the car is unimpeded all the way.
When he was about to arrive at the community where Song Yu was renting, Xiao Yun's mobile phone rang, he glanced at it, picked up the phone, and fed it.
The person on the other end of the phone didn't know what he said, he said quietly and hung up the phone.
Song was in a daze, and now he came back to his senses and said, "You are busy with you, you don't need to send it over, just let me go in front." It's a short walk and you'll be there. ”
"It's fine. Xiao Yun said, then looked at her in the rearview mirror, and asked politely, "Would you like to eat something?" I'll pack it for you. ”
When she left, the Tang family's old house had not yet eaten, so she naturally hadn't eaten yet.
He was too polite, Song Yu shook his head and said no, saying that he was not hungry.
Xiao Yun didn't say anything more now, and drove the car seriously.
The car arrived at the community not long after, Song Yu was originally going to get off outside the community, but Xiao Yun sent her downstairs directly.
After Song Yu thanked him at this time, he was about to go upstairs, and after only a few steps, Xiao Yun stopped her.
She looked back at him in confusion.
Xiao Yun wanted to say something, but he didn't speak for a long time.
Song Yu had to ask, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Yun shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "No, I just want to tell Miss Song that Mr. Tang is sometimes not easy." Please be considerate of him. ”
Song Yu didn't know what he meant by this, and remembered that he asked her not to go to the old mansion, so he said, "No matter who calls, I won't go over again." ”
If the old lady passes away, the Tang family's old house will definitely call.
Her tone was very serious, and after she finished speaking, she didn't wait for him to speak, and continued, "I'll go up first." ”
She didn't stop and turned to go upstairs. However, Xiao Yun stayed where he was and didn't move, and the phone rang, so he picked up the phone and got into the car.
The lights in the hallway were broken, and it was pitch black. Song Yu had gone up and down countless times, and he was already very familiar with it, so he didn't have much trouble going upstairs.
She originally thought it was a broken light, but when she entered the house and turned on the light, she realized that it was a power outage. She opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of drink, and drank it.
She was not hungry, and she didn't wait any longer when the electricity didn't come, so she washed her face with cold water and collapsed on the bed.
She fell asleep quickly, waking up from her nightmare at dawn. She didn't remember what she had dreamed about, so she let out a soft sigh and got up.
It was already past six o'clock, and she didn't go back to sleep. Seeing that the electricity had come, I went to the bathroom to take a shower after cooking porridge.
She was very calm, and after doing all this, she went to work.
Today is the second day of work, and the office is more free than ever. Colleagues talked about the events that happened during the Chinese New Year. There are also colleagues who brought special products and distributed them to everyone.
Peng Xi naturally brought a special product, and specially left one for Song Yu. When he saw her, he stepped forward and asked, "I heard that you didn't come yesterday?"
It wasn't just Song Yu who asked for leave yesterday, she also took leave.
Song Yu sighed at this moment and said, "It's a bit of a problem." ”
Peng Xi didn't ask, took out the specialty of his hometown and opened it for Song Yu to eat, and then said with a smile: "I was lazy yesterday, and I got off the plane late the night before yesterday, so I asked for leave." This year is very free, and there is actually nothing to do. ”
She shrugged.
Song Yu was not polite, ate the snacks she gave, and asked with a smile: "How was the Chinese New Year?
Peng Xi wailed and said, "I've only gained three pounds, why can everyone see that I've gained weight, is it so obvious?"
She's a little stupid. Today, Song Yu is already the third person to say that.
She said that it proves that this year's New Year is very good, Song Yu laughed, and deliberately quipped: "Three catties of pork, there should be a big piece, right?"
She said with a deliberate comparison.
Peng Xi whimpered, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around her shoulder, and said, "Ah Yu, why are you so bad? When you come back after a year, you will be full of bad water? Say, where did you come from? Where did the good Ah Yu who would comfort me go before?"
In the end, she was coquettish.
Song Yu made a look of indespisibility, raised his hand and hurriedly comforted him: "You won, I surrender." It's not a big deal to eat fat, it's a skill to be able to grow meat. Whoever is jealous makes him grow. ”
Where is her comfort, it is obvious that she has inserted Peng Xi again. I couldn't help but laugh as I said it.
The two laughed for a while, and then Peng Xi asked, "What about you, how is this year?"
Song Yu didn't tell her that she was alone, smiled slightly, and said, "It's good." ”
She changed the subject.
There was almost nothing to do in the morning, just talking and laughing. At eleven o'clock, Song Yu's phone rang. It's a call from the old house.
She looked at it, and when it came to tea, she got indirect.
It was the aunt who called the old house and asked Song Yu where she had gone, saying that the old lady had already left and asked her to come over.
Her tone was hurried, probably because she had other things to do, and hung up the phone after speaking.
Although he knew it a long time ago, Song Yu was still stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses until someone entered the pantry.
Although she and the old lady have no feelings, their hearts are still empty at the moment. There is an inexplicable sadness spreading in my heart.
Seeing her in a daze, the colleague who came in waved his hand back in front of her and asked, "What's wrong?" Xiao Song, are you okay?"
Song Yu squeezed out a smile, and returned to his position after saying that it was okay.
She was in a trance all afternoon, and after work, Peng Xi invited her to her house to play, she was going to refuse, but in the end she nodded and agreed. I controlled myself not to think about it, and went to the supermarket with her to buy groceries and cook.
Time passed quickly under deliberate oblivion, and a few days passed in a flash. Song Yu's life seems to have returned to a long time ago, going to work and getting off work at two o'clock every day.
I don't know what to do about the old lady's funeral, except for the day when the aunt called her, no one in the old house has called her again.
On Saturday morning, Song Yu got up early and went to the supermarket. As soon as I walked out with my things, my phone rang.
The phone was called by Peng Xi, and as soon as she picked it up, Peng Xi on the other end of the phone asked, "Ah Yu, do you know that something happened to the Tang family?"
The sun was shining brightly, and Song Yu was stunned in place with his things, and he couldn't react for a while.
Peng Xi on the other end of the phone didn't wait for her to respond before continuing: "I just watched the news this morning, saying that Tang Xu's father is suspected of taking bribes and violating several crimes, and now he is under investigation. ”
Peng Xi couldn't hear Song Yu's voice and was a little anxious, so he immediately asked again: "Ah Yu, are you listening?"
I don't know if it's because the sun is too dazzling or something else, Song Yu is a little dizzy. Peng Xi's voice seemed to be close at hand, and it seemed to be far away.
It wasn't until Peng Xi called Ah Yu twice that she came back to her senses and called her senior sister.
Peng Xi was anxious on the other end of the phone, and asked cautiously, "Are you okay?"
Song was a little confused, she restrained herself and calmed down, and said, "It's okay." ”
She didn't know what to do for a while, Peng Xi probably guessed that she was messy, and immediately said: "What is reported in the newspaper, I don't know if it's true or false, you can call and ask." ”
Now that it has been reported in the newspapers, where could it be fake. Most of it is true.
But this matter is strange, although the Tang family's heritage is not deep-rooted, it can be regarded as an old family in Qinghe City. Even if Tang Xu's father was really suspected of violating the rules, it was impossible for him to be in the newspaper without a hint.
There should be something going on here.
Peng Xi didn't waste time, and hung up the phone after speaking.
Song Yu didn't move while holding the phone, restraining himself from thinking about anything. Because she knew very well that whether it was true or not, she couldn't help anything.
Somehow, her mind suddenly came up with the day when the old lady was critically ill, Xiao Yun called her to let her go out, and asked her not to go to the old mansion again.
Although he restrained himself from composing, his mind was in turmoil. She wanted to sort it out, but she couldn't figure it out for a while.
Just then, her phone rang again. This call came from her uncle, Song Zhiqin.
Don't think about it, Song Yu also knew that he should have seen the call from the newspaper, she took a deep breath and suppressed the mess, picked up the phone and called uncle.
Song Zhiqin really called when he saw the newspaper, he probably thought that Song knew about it, so he asked: "Ah Yu, I only saw the newspaper this morning, what is going on with Tang Xu's father?"
Not only Song Yu, but even he sensed that something was wrong with this matter.
In a family like the Tang family, all kinds of relationships are intertwined, and there are some omens when something like this happens, not so sudden. Even if there is anything, it will most likely be dealt with quietly, and it is impossible to give the media any opportunity to take advantage of it. Not to mention the hype of the current one.
Song Yu was able to answer his question and said, "I don't know very well, I just found out about ......"
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Song Zhiqin, who sighed and said, "You hurry up and call and ask, remember to call me back later." ”
As he spoke, he hung up the phone immediately.
Song Zhiqin asked Song Yu to call and ask, but Song Yu didn't know who to call. If something really happened to Father Tang, I'm afraid no one would be in the mood to answer her at this time.
She calmed her mind down, looked at her phone for a while, and finally dialed the number.
She was not the one who called the Tang family, but called Xiao Yun from time to time. If something really happened to Father Tang, except for the people of the Tang family, no one should know what was going on better than Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun didn't know what he was doing, and no one answered the phone for a long time. Song Yu didn't know who to call except him, so he stood in place with his mobile phone.
Xiao Yun's phone came back after two or three minutes, Song Yu picked up the phone, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Are you Mr. Tang here?"
Xiao Yun's voice sounded the same as usual, and he said politely: "Mr. Tang is in a meeting now, I will convey it on your behalf if you have something." ”
He's completely businesslike.
Song Yu was silent for a moment and said, "I read today's newspaper......"
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xiao Yun, and he said, "I'm sorry, there are a lot of people calling today, and I don't know." ”
It didn't take Song Yu to finish speaking, he knew what was going on. It's just that someone seemed to call him on the other end of the phone, and he hung up the phone without waiting for Song Yu to say anything more.
There was a beeping sound of busy lines in the mobile phone, and Song Yu did not move while holding the mobile phone. After a while, he looked up at the dazzling eyes and walked back with his things.
She was distraught and stopped halfway through. After hesitating for a long time, he finally took out his mobile phone again to call Wen Yi.
Wen Yi didn't know if he was busy or what, and no one answered the phone for a long time. It wasn't until she was about to hang up that she picked up the phone and said hello.
Her voice was tired and hoarse, probably not looking at the caller ID, and she asked, "Who?"
"It's me, sister-in-law. Song Yu said.
Wen Yi hummed on the other end of the phone, but asked calmly, "What's wrong?"
Song Yu didn't even appear at the old lady's funeral, but she was as usual. Not even the tone of his voice has changed much.
Song Yu was silent for a moment on the phone, and said: "I read today's newspaper, dad ...... him"
Wen Yi already knew what she was going to say, and before she could say anything, she said, "Don't worry, it's fine." ”
She didn't want to talk about it anymore, so she paused for a moment and asked, "Is there anything else?" she seemed to remember something, and then said lightly: "If someone calls you, you just answer that you don't know." ”
She said that, obviously besides Song Yu, someone else called her to get to the bottom of it.
Her tone was understated, and she continued without waiting for Song Yu to speak again: "I have something to do now, if it's okay, I'll hang up first." ”
She didn't wait for Song Yu to answer, and hung up the phone directly after finishing speaking. A cold busy beep soon came from the phone.
