Chapter 74: Speechless Asking the Sky
After the dishes were served, the girl was not polite and moved the chopsticks directly.
Her eating appearance is not a storm, but saying that she is gobbling up is not wronging her at all.
Kang Yurong almost didn't eat, just drank the white fungus soup slowly, while staring at the girl opposite who was eating happily.
I probably feel that my eating appearance is too indecent. During this period, the girl also raised her eyes, blushed, and smiled embarrassedly at Kang Yurong.
It's just embarrassing, no embarrassment, and no stopping chopsticks.
The girl was almost finished, and said, "What?
Kang Yurong wanted to tease her: You have a wonderful interpretation of what it means to be hungry and choose food.
When the words came to his lips, he temporarily changed them to "You're actually eating." ”
Regardless of whether Kang Yurong was sincere or polite, the girl smiled lightly, as if she didn't care.
The girl asked, "You're not a native of Beijing, are you?"
Kang Yurong shook his head.
The girl gave her a "I know you're not" emoji.
The girl said: "If you are from Beijing, you should have an impression of Mu Tian. Two years ago, he was the darling of various newspapers. ”
Two years ago?
Kang Yurong thought, two years ago, I was working hard in a British university.
The girl paused for a moment before she spoke in a low voice: "My name is Mu Xiaotong, Mu of bathing, Xiao of Chunxiao, and Tong of Wutong." Mu Tian is my father. ”
After Mu Xiaotong reported to the door, he moved his eyes to the window.
Outside the window, it was clear, and a few white clouds drifted in the sky. Mu Xiaotong looked at the clouds and slowly told the story of their family.
Mu Xiaotong's father, Mu Tianyuan, is the director of Division X, and he is upright and upright.
Li Caiqin's father, Li Xiongqi, is Mutian's driver, who has been influenced by Mutian all the year round, and is also dyed with righteousness. It's a pity that his "righteousness" is just a smoke bomb, and his heart, liver, spleen and lungs don't know when they have rotted and stinked.
Mu Tian saw that Li Xiongqi was humble and kind, careful and diligent, and "reasonable" in everything. On weekdays, I don't see him sycophants and powerful people, so he is deeply appreciated and trusted by Mu Tian.
Slowly, Mu Tian brought Li Xiongqi into the officialdom, starting from a small deputy director of the office, and gradually promoted to the position of deputy director.
Carrying Li Xiongqi, Mu Tian didn't have any selfish thoughts, just love. He didn't expect Li Xiongqi to remember his kindness, as long as he lived up to his expectations.
It's a pity that Mu Tian forgot the two old sayings "The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant" and "Knowing the person and the face does not know the heart".
Mu Tian's kindness Li Xiongqi really didn't take it to heart.
Not only did he not remember, but he came with a favor and revenge.
Li Xiongqi, who sat in a "high position", not only enjoyed the praise that power brought him, but also enjoyed the endless wealth brought to him by power.
If Li Xiongqi didn't hug the money too much, Mu Tian might turn a blind eye. After all, he was the one who pulled it by himself, and Mu Tian didn't want to slap himself in the face in the end.
It's just that it's easy to put your hand out, but it's hard to recycle it.
Mu Tian's persuasion and warning, not only did not stop Li Xiongqi's greedy hand, but instead led to the disaster of killing.
As the saying goes, the official level crushes people to death.
In Li Xiongqi's eyes, Mu Tian's persuasion and warning were stumbling blocks on his "road to wealth". He had long had the idea of replacing it.
Li Xiongqi's appetite grew bigger and bigger, which made Mu Tian angry and frightened.
Mu Tian decided not to condone anymore and secretly began to collect evidence. Just when the evidence was about to be complete, one day Mu Tian and his wife went out, and when they went to a secluded place, the car exploded, and the couple had no survivors.
The next day, the tabloids were full of news that Mu Tian, the director of the X Division, committed suicide by perverting the law for bribes, and Li Xiongqi, the deputy director of the Division, held evidence to expose the news of meritorious service.
The story is not new, it is an old stalk of "Mr. Dongguo and the wolf".
Mu Xiaotong said very indifferently from beginning to end, as if she was telling someone else's story.
After listening, Kang Yurong couldn't help but ask: "Since your father has not been corrupt, how can Li Xiongqi have evidence?"
"Is it not easy for Li Xiongqi to change his father's name for the things he has done in the past few years? They are subordinate and subordinate relationships, my father is dead, and it is not him Li Xiongqi who has the final say. ”
"What about your parents? Your father committed suicide in fear of sin, why should your mother be afraid of crime together? Doesn't anyone in the judicial department think that this is inappropriate?"
"I don't believe that my father is corrupt and corrupt, and I don't want him to commit suicide. I have begged those who hate my father for having a good relationship. It's just that officialdom has always been about people, let alone a dead person, who will help a dead person find out the truth?"
"How did you get through these two years?"
"Thanks to Li Xiongqi's efforts, my home was raided and my house confiscated, and I was like a lost dog hiding for a day, hiding for a day, and having nowhere to solve the problem of three meals a day. It is estimated that I, a teenage yellow-haired girl, can't make any waves, so I'm left to fend for myself.
After the limelight passed, a couple of Zhang's husbands who had been helped by my mother took me in. Uncle Zhang pulled the foreign car, and Aunt Zhang washed and sewed and mended the clothes. They already had three children, and they were already on a tight schedule, but they still didn't hesitate to give me a home.
I wanted to drop out of school to work to subsidize my family, but Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang were unanimously opposed, they said that as long as I had the opportunity, I must finish my studies. Although they don't know a single word, they know what works. If it weren't for my excellent grades and my father's prepayment of fees, it would have been difficult for me to enter this school again. ”
Kang Yurong's heart twitched, and she bit her lip tightly, so that the pity on her face was not so obvious.
After a while, Kang Yurong asked again: "Since Li Xiongqi has let you go, what happened to Li Caiqin? Why did she bully you? Are you really just jealous of your good studies?"
"She's not jealous of my good studies, she's not good at me. Every year after graduating from high school, there will be an opportunity to study in the UK at a working expense.
This opportunity is very fair, not looking at identity, not looking at family background, only looking at grades. I've been fighting for this opportunity for a long time, and even more so after my parents died. With the results so far, I have a good chance of getting this opportunity. Li Caiqin knew what I wanted, but she just didn't want me to get my wish, so she tortured me in a different way. ”
Kang Yurong asked: "Why don't you report to the school leaders? Let Li Caiqin run rampant like this?"
Mu Xiaotong smiled coldly: "The two principals generally rarely come forward, unless there is a major event or activity. Most of the things in the school are handled by the dean. What kind of person he is can be seen at a glance by a discerning person. Li Caiqin and I, a small fight, he doesn't know how to manage money at all, it's really going to make a big fuss, with his kind of humanity, what do you think he will do?"
Kang Yurong said: "He can't afford to provoke the Li family, so he can only expel you from school." ”
This is what Li Caiqin wants to see the most. She knew that if I was expelled from school, I would never have the chance to go to school again, let alone study in the UK. can only live at the bottom for the rest of his life, being mocked by her, and even trampled to death by her. ”
Mu Xiaotong took a breath and said, "So, I won't give her this chance." No matter how bold and arrogant she is, she doesn't dare to kill me now. The pain in my body is nothing, as long as I grit my teeth and survive this more than half a year, I will have the opportunity to go to the United Kingdom, and I will have the opportunity to clear my father's grievances. So, no matter how much she tosses me, I won't give her a chance to kick me out. ”
Kang Yurong couldn't help but marvel.
Mu Xiaotong is not a fool, nor is she a master who is bullied, she is also a person with temper and self-esteem.
However, she now has no money, no power, no support, and can't do anything but endure it. When she is full of wings one day, she will use her strength to clean the stain on her father's body.
She is only seventeen years old, and she can have such patience, which is surprising and pathetic, somewhat lacking the innocence that she should have at her age.
Kang Yurong thought that it was not a thing to be happy about for such a little girl to understand how dark this society is and how sinister and desolate people's hearts are.
Kang Yurong asked: "Since I don't want to have a head-on conflict with the Li family, I've endured it for so long." Why did you push Li Caiqin down the stairs today?"
"She doesn't care what she does to me, but she can't insult my parents. After all, they had treated her like my own daughter. Speaking of this, Mu Xiaotong had an angry expression in his eyes.
"Since things are all in trouble, and the trend is very favorable to you, why did you let them go in the end? Even if you don't send Li Caiqin to the judicial department, wouldn't expelling her from school also eliminate your worries?"
Mu Xiaotong said: "That's not to eliminate my worries, it will only anger Li Caiqin, and even the entire Li family." The consequences of that would be anyone's guess. I don't care if they're only targeting me. What I'm afraid of is that I'll be involved with you. ”
"I'm not afraid. ”
"I'm afraid. Mu Xiaotong sighed: "After my parents died, except for Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang, you were the only one who was good to me." If I could, I would like to continue this good work. ”
Kang Yurong said without hesitation: "As long as you are willing, this 'good' will continue." ”
Mu Xiaotong smiled: "Why do you help me and trust me? We don't know each other?"
Kang Yurong shook his head: "I don't know, I feel it." Then she asked, "Aren't you the same, and why are you telling me about you, a stranger?"
Mu Xiaotong learned from Kang Yurong just now: "I don't know, I feel it." ”
Mu Xiaotong smiled, and Kang Yurong also smiled.
Next, the two chatted for a while, mostly talking about Kang Yurong's foreign affairs.
It was almost time for class, and the two came out of the restaurant.
