Chapter 20: What Tried to Hide

Three o'clock, Lily of the Valley Cafe, MVP room.

Lily of the valley flowers filled the whole room, the fine white sand in the royal blue hourglass slowly fell, Li Siqin and Xia Haitong sat looking at each other, and a cup of coffee was placed in front of each other.

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

Li Siqin took a sip of coffee and said leisurely: "Haitong, don't be so anxious, you can't eat hot tofu if you're in a hurry." ”

Xia Haitong frowned slightly, and said unhappily: "Miss Li, I think it's better for you to hurry up and make it clear, I'm very busy and don't have time to spend with you." ”

Li Siqin put down the cup and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I'll tell you a light one first, so as not to be too heavy all of a sudden, and you won't be able to stand it." ”

Xia Haitong looked at Li Siqin vigilantly, originally received a text message from Li Siqin, Xia Haitong was afraid of a trap and didn't want to be invited, but Li Siqin told her that she knew the whereabouts of her parents now, so Xia Haitong took the risk to come out and meet her in the café.

Although this is Li Siqin's place, after all, she is in the city, and she does not dare to mess around. And she has already agreed with Ding Xiaoqian that if she hasn't called her at eight o'clock in the evening, it proves that something happened to her.

"Speak. ”

Li Siqin looked at Xia Haitong and said with a soft smile: "Do you know that you are not as good as a dog to Chengxuan?"

Li Siqin told the truth about why Xia Haitong was hospitalized with a gunshot wound, but he didn't expect Xia Haitong to just listen calmly, and there was no sign of anger at all.

"That's all you want to say?" Xia Haitong asked calmly.

"You know everything?" Li Siqin was slightly displeased.

Xia Haitong shook his head: "No, I didn't know before. ”

"Then why can you be so calm?" Li Siqin paused, "Could it be that you are pretending?"

Xia Haitong smiled disdainfully and said, "Miss Li, don't think that everyone in the world likes acting as much as you. There is only one reason why I am not angry after listening to these things. ”

Li Siqin looked at Xia Haitong suspiciously, and she just said flatly: "Because I'm not surprised that Ye Chengxuan would treat me like this." ”

"You mean, even if Cheng Xuan kills you, you won't be surprised?"

"Yes, that's it. Xia Haitong tilted his head slightly and said slowly, "I, Xia Haitong, am a self-aware person. I know very well that I am in his heart, just a pawn, a tool. My life is nothing more than a mayfly to him, and it's not worth mentioning at all. ”

Li Siqin raised her willow eyebrows: "I didn't expect you to be quite self-aware." ”

Xia Haitong glanced at her and said, "Of course." But I also know why Ye Chengxuan did that at that time, he just wanted Wang Defang to believe it more, in the final analysis, he was still thinking about my safety. What's more, he cared so much about my life at that time, how could he be willing to let me die? There was no foolproof solution, and he wouldn't let me take this risk. ”

Li Siqin looked at Xia Haitong's smug look, and just wanted to take out her broken body and feed it to the dogs, seeing Li Siqin's iron-blue face, Xia Haitong screamed in his heart!

"I don't know if Miss Li's gossip is finished, if it does, please fulfill your promise. ”

Li Siqin nodded and said, "Hehe, since you want to know so much, then I will fulfill you." Wei pause, she put the notebook in front of Xia Haitong, "It's just that you have to be mentally prepared and don't be frightened by the things inside." ”

Xia Haitong looked at Li Siqin suspiciously, and just when she was thinking about what kind of medicine Li Siqin was selling in this gourd, Li Siqin suddenly opened the notebook.

Xia Haitong covered his mouth and looked at the photos inside in disbelief.

No way, this can't be!!

"Li Siqin, these photos must have been synthesized by you, do you think I'll believe it!!"

Li Siqin hooked her red lips and said, "Haitong, I didn't expect you to be such a fragile person, I thought you could accept this fact very calmly." "But when you think about it, my parents are addicts, and this kind of thing is really unacceptable." ”

"Li Siqin, I think you are just trying to find fault! You don't have to talk nonsense here, I won't listen to you!" Xia Haitong stood up, "I don't think there's anything to talk about between us, farewell!"

Just when Xia Haitong wanted to rush out of the door, Li Siqin said lightly: "Don't you want to know the real reason why your parents left you three years ago?"

As Li Siqin expected, Xia Haitong slowly put down the hand raised in the air, and Li Siqin said: "Your home was originally a well-off family, but three years ago, your parents encountered obstacles in their business, and they sold all their property but they were still weak, and then they suddenly disappeared, leaving only you and your sick sister, and since then you and your sister have lived in a dilapidated small house. ”

Xia Haitong turned around: "It seems that you still spend a lot of time on me." ”

Li Siqin snorted and said, "Although you have been working and studying since then, because you have to bear the living expenses and rent of two people, it is impossible for you to have spare money to cure your sister." Because your sister's condition suddenly became critical, you chose to sign a contract with Cheng Xuan and sell yourself to him. ”

Xia Haitong frowned: "Please get to the point." ”

Li Siqin stared at Xia Haitong: "The point is, have you ever thought about why your parents suddenly failed in business and then left suddenly?"

Xia Haitong rolled his eyes: "Thinking about it is different from knowing that the answer is different, and I ask Miss Li not to sell Guanzi." ”

Li Siqin smiled and said unhurriedly: "The reason is very simple, because all this is deliberately arranged behind someone's back. ”

Xia Haitong looked at Li Siqin suspiciously, and said tentatively: "You...... Do you want to say that all this was arranged by Ye Chengxuan?"

Li Siqin nodded: "Yes, it's Chengxuan!"

Xia Haitong shook his head: "No, it's impossible, how could he have something to do with all this...... He's been looking for me four years ago, not after my parents disappeared, so it's none of his business, it's none of ......."

"It's none of his business?Have you ever thought that it was because of your refusal that you forced Cheng Xuan to take this step?" Li Siqin opened a video, "If you don't believe what I say, then listen to what your parents have to say." ”

The location of the video is a sparsely furnished hut, which looks like it should be in the countryside or in the mountains. Xia Haitong's mother hit her arm with a syringe, while her father was smoking heroin.

The two looked very thin and haggard, and the mother was almost full of white hair, and the father was also black and white, and the fifty-year-old looked like he was sixty or seventy.

"Here's your dose for next week. ”

Although Xia Haitong couldn't see the man's figure, she could hear that it was Ah Sen's voice.

"Give, give me, hurry up and give it to me!" Xia Haitong's mother knelt on the ground, begging for the drugs in his hand like a beggar.

"Mr. Ye has something to pass on to you, and he said that he will release you soon, and you can be reunited as a family at that time. ”

Hearing this, a glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the two, and they asked in unison, "Really, this, is this true?!"

"Yes. ”

"Great, we two old people thank Mr. Ye for taking care of our family for Haitong and Xueqing, thank him, thank him!!" Xia Haitong's parents both knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "If it weren't for Mr. Ye, our family wouldn't be able to live such a happy life, thank you Mr. Ye, thank you Mr. Ye!!"

"You have to remember that you can't mention anything related to Mr. Ye to others after you go out, and we will also suspend the supply of your drugs. ”

"What? Suspend supply? Don't, don't suspend supply! I, we're not leaving, we're staying here for the rest of our lives, please don't don't give us medicine!"

Suddenly, there was a black scene, and the video came to an abrupt end.

Xia Haitong staggered back two steps, she shook her head vigorously, this is impossible, impossible!!

However, how can the familiar voice, the familiar figure, all this be explained?

Since her brother's death, her parents have become very cold to her, and there is a hint of disgust in her words. However, Xia Haitong would rather see their indifferent faces than see this face that made her feel terrible.

They are like being brainwashed, the kind of dependence and desire for drugs makes her extremely frightened, they regard the enemy as a benefactor, put drugs in the first place in life, without drugs, they seem to have no goal of survival.

For the sake of drugs, they did not hesitate to give up their dignity and freedom, and were willing to spend the rest of their lives in that small house. Xia Haitong couldn't believe it, were these two people really his parents, and where did their courage and diligence go?!!

Once, in that endless dark night, the figure of her parents would rush into her mind. Although she is so strong in her mouth, deep down, she has always longed to meet them.

However, she never imagined that after many years of absence, when she saw the faces of her parents again, it would be the scene now!

She doesn't believe it, how does that make her believe?!

Xia Haitong took two steps back, suddenly twisted his foot, and fell to his knees fiercely. Tears poured out of her eyes, and she clenched her fists and pounded the floor while silently reading: It's not true, it's not true.

That's right, this must be fake, now that technology is so advanced, anything can be faked, so this video must also be fake!

But at this moment, the gentle voice sounded again.

"Haitong, in fact, you can't blame Chengxuan, you can only blame yourself for being arrogant. If you were willing to agree to Chengxuan early, then there wouldn't be so many things in your family, don't you say?"

Seeing that Xia Haitong didn't make a sound, Li Siqin said again: "Haitong, don't be sad, now there are many successful cases of these addicts after they are sent to drug rehabilitation centers, and it is easy to quit drug addiction." But it seems that your parents are a little terminally ill and may be in danger of their lives at any time, but if you have money, you may be able to save them. Finally, she added, "If you have money." ”

Li Siqin looked coldly at Xia Haitong on the ground, and her voice of disdain slowly sounded: "Do you know that a person's birth will determine the fate of her life." A woman like me, who is favored by God, has beauty, wisdom and family background, even if I don't have to work hard, I can easily harvest a perfect life. And a commoner like you, who can only struggle between life and death, and suffer the anger of his boss and guests for that pitiful salary, people like you are born to be slaves, no matter how hard you struggle, you can't become a person in high society!"
