032. Wake up
After I arrived at the agreed place with Zhaozhou, his car slowly drove behind me and stopped beside me, I glanced at the people around me, and after finding that there was nothing unusual, I pulled the car door and got into the car.
After getting into the car, Zhao Zhou drove the car while telling me about the situation at the perpetrator's home, after the perpetrator Zheng Hua died in the car accident, his wife lived alone with her children in the rental house, it is said that this accident happened, his wife Tong Xiangyu did not even go to Zheng Hua to collect the body, the police came to the door to notify several times, let her go to collect the body, she did not pay attention, Zheng Hua's body is still lying in the funeral home.
Although she and Zheng Hua are husband and wife, in fact, the two have been separated for two years.
When the car stopped at the door of the old rental house, Zhao Zhou asked me with a side face: "Do you really think you can dig something out of Zheng Hua's wife?"
I said, "I'm not sure, but I want to try, and that's all we have now." β
When Zhao Zhou heard my words, he seemed to think that it was the only way, so he nodded, and after closing the car, the two of us pushed the door and got out of the car.
But the moment I closed the car door, the stench in the alley came, and Zhao Zhou and I covered our mouths and noses at the same time and walked upstairs.
When we arrived at the door of a rental house on the second floor, Zheng Hua's wife Tong Xiangyu came out with a basket of cheap trinkets, and when she saw us, her first reaction was to stop immediately, and her eyes even looked at us with some vigilance, and then she asked, "Who are you?"
Zhao Zhou took a step forward and immediately said with a smile: "Hello, Miss Tong, we are from the Yi family."
Before Zhao Zhou's words fell, "pop!", it was the sound of the door closing hard, and the door swept in me and Zhao Zhou, and Tong Xiangyu turned us away without saying a word after hearing the two words of the Yi family, and then, Tong Xiangyu's voice came from the closed door in a muffled voice, she said: "Don't come to me again, I don't have any money to pay you, I have been separated from that short-lived ghost for two years, and all his debts have nothing to do with me." β
Zhao Zhou and I glanced at each other, Zhao Zhou wanted to say something, I pressed him and motioned for me to come, then knocked on the door again, and said softly: "Miss Tong, I am the family of the deceased, we are not here to ask you to lose money, the reason why we came to you today is to ask you about other things." β
I didn't say what I was going to ask, but Tong Xiangyu stood inside the door and refused directly: "I don't know anything, you guys go, I just want to live quietly." β
Immediately afterwards, there was a cry of a child in the house, and after Tong Xiangyu's footsteps leaving from the door were far away, the sound of her coaxing the child could be faintly heard in the house.
Just when we thought that we were going to return today in vain and planned to go back next time, Tong Xiangyu, who had been in for almost two hours, suddenly opened the closed door of the rental house again, and when she saw us standing at the door, she locked the door without saying a word, and then didn't even look at us, holding the crying child and hurriedly walked downstairs.
Zhao Zhou and I didn't know what happened to her, and when we followed her anxious back and chased downstairs, we found that Tong Xiangyu was holding the child, and stopped the car in a panic on the road.
I understood something in an instant, the child had a fever.
I said to Zhao Zhou: "Go and drive the car over." Then I walked towards Tong Xiangyu, I grabbed her who was still waving her hand vigorously and said: "It's useless for you to stop like this, this is a suburb, and it is rare to be able to get a taxi, even if you stand here and wave for two or three hours, no one may stop to pick you up." β
At this time, in anxiety, she also gave up her guard against me, her face was full of anxiety, and her voice even asked with a crying voice: "Then what should I do!" The child is having a high fever and has been crying all the time. β
It happened that Zhaozhou's car stopped beside us at this time, and I pulled Tong Xiangyu and said, "Go, follow me in the car." β
Before she could understand, my hand had already opened the car door and stuffed Tong Xiangyu in, and then the car rushed towards the direction of the hospital.
I am also a mother, and I understand her mood very well at this time, so on the way there, I kept using a small towel and repeatedly wetting it with mineral water to wipe the child's face.
In this anxious hurry, the car drove to the big hospital in the city, but the big hospital pays attention to queuing and registering, and then you can see the doctor, and see that the doctor has to do all kinds of examinations, but obviously the current state of the child does not allow such a long wait.
I immediately called Zhao Xiaowen and asked her to find a relationship in the hospital, Zhao Xiaowen is the editor-in-chief of the magazine, and the interpersonal relationship has always been extensive in this regard, so it didn't take long for her to dredge up the relationship for us in the hospital, and Zhao Zhou and I took Tong Xiangyu directly to see the doctor.
In the end, the results of the examination came out, the child was an acute pneumonia caused by high fever, we accompanied Tong Xiangyu in the hospital to pay the fee, then went through all the formalities and took the child to the hospital, and the doctor gave the child water to reduce inflammation.
Tong Xiangyu's heart stabilized at this time, she sat on the edge of the hospital bed, her hand always holding the child's little hand tightly, and her face at this moment was full of sadness and exhaustion of life.
She was only in her early thirties, and the hair on the top of her head was gray, and the ends of her eyes were full of wrinkles, and people who didn't know thought she was forty.
Seeing this, I was also a little unbearable, so I walked behind her and patted her thin shoulder twice with my hand, comforting: "The doctor said that it will be fine, and the inflammation will be eliminated in time, so don't worry too much." β
Tong Xiangyu's eyes fell on the child's sleeping face, and she said, "I know that the reason why you will help me today is to get what you want to know from me. β
We all didn't expect Tong Xiangyu to take the initiative to mention these things, we were a little surprised, I was the first to come back to my senses, I said: "Miss Tong, my son and I are the only survivors of the car accident, and my parents all died in the car accident, I didn't mean to bother you today, but there are many doubts and incomprehensible places in the car accident, can you understand my feelings?"
Tong Xiangyu sat there without responding to my words, her eyes always fell on the child, and when we all thought she wouldn't speak, she said, "Miss Yi, you give me some time, I'm really not in the mood to talk to you too much now." β
Tong Xiangyu finally relented, so that Zhao Zhou and I felt a little surprised, at this time, Tong Xiangyu looked away from the child's face, and then looked at me and said: "You come to me tomorrow, I will tell you everything I know, and I will treat you as a favor today." β
Tong Xiangyu actually said this, Zhao Zhou and I didn't dare to rush anymore, after all, it was not easy for her to say such a thing to us, I didn't ask any further, but took out a stack of envelopes from the bag, and the money in the stack of envelopes was prepared in advance this morning and planned to give to Tong Xiangyu.
At that time, I thought that if she really refused to open her mouth and bought it with money, she would always be able to spit out what we wanted to know, but I didn't expect that I was lucky today and met the good time when her child was sick.
After I put the stack of money in her hand on the hospital bed, I said, "I don't mean anything else about this money, but I simply want to give it to you. β
Qian Tong Xiangyu didn't look at the envelope, let alone take it, but just maintained her previous posture, and she said two words: "Thank you." β
Zhao Zhou and I wasted too much time outside, so after leaving the hospital, he immediately drove away, on the way Zhao Zhou and I were a little worried, he asked me: "Will Tong Xiangyu really say it tomorrow?"
In fact, I don't have a bottom in my heart, because things are going easier than we imagined, but Tong Xiangyu has said such things, it should be ** inseparable from ten.
I said, "No matter, since she wants us to go to her tomorrow, let's go." β
Zhao Zhou said: "At present, we can only do this. β
When the car stopped on the road not far from the villa, I was just about to get out of the car and leave, I suddenly thought of something, turned around and sat back, I said, "Zhao Zhou, please do one thing." β
Zhao Zhou saw that I had a serious face, he seemed to have expected what I was going to say, after all, so many years of husband and wife are not in vain, he said, "Xiaoqi?"
I said, "Yes, I still want to ask you to leave the child with your mother, although it is indeed wrong to deceive her like this, but I really have no choice, you know, it is a hidden danger for him to stay with me after all." β
Zhao Zhou's hand was on the steering wheel for a long time, and he said: "This is the only thing I can help you, although Xiaoqi is not my biological son, but the relationship over the years is not fake, I always treat him as my son." β
Hearing Zhao Zhou's words, I was slightly relieved.
After I said thank you, I got out of Zhao Zhou's car and didn't let him send me in again, and Zhao Zhou said goodbye to me and drove away from me.
When his car was gradually overwhelmed by the darkness, I turned and walked towards the house, and just came to the iron gate, in the middle of the night, the whole villa was brightly lit, as if something had happened, because there were servants constantly coming in and out of the gate.
I stood there and frowned for a while, then immediately carried the bag and walked away, as soon as I walked to the door, Wu Ni rushed out of the hall, grabbed my hand, her face was full of anxiety, she said: "Xiaofan! You are finally back, where have you been? Why did you call you and turn off your phone, why didn't you say a word to me when you went out? You don't know that we can't find you, and you're going crazy?!"
As soon as Wu Ni's words fell, there was a sudden sound of a car driving in outside the door, Wu Ni and I looked over at the same time, Yi Jin's car happened to stop at the gate, and after he pushed the door and got out of the car, he walked towards us with a cold face.
Yi Jin exuded a cold aura all over her body, Wu Ni subconsciously blocked me behind her, and just wanted to say something, but who knew that she didn't have time to say a word, Yi Jin suddenly dragged me from behind her, and gave me a slap with her backhand.
This slap threw me directly from in front of him to the sofa, my face was hot and painful, and I didn't have time to say a word, then Yi Jin lifted me up from the sofa and asked, "Why didn't the phone turn on?"
Seeing this situation, Wu Ni said loudly: "Yi Jin, what are you doing!"
He asked in a louder tone, "Why doesn't the phone turn on, huh?"
I covered my face and sneered at him, just sneering, and I didn't answer his question.
Yi Jin saw me with such an unrepentant expression, raised his hand and wanted to slap me again, Wu Ni, who was standing on the side, suddenly rushed up and hugged Yi Jin's hand, she begged bitterly and said, "Yi Jin, don't be like this, we have something to say, okay?"
Seeing this, the servant on the side also rushed up with Wu Ni, and interceded with Wu Ni for me: "Yes, Miss Xiaofan has just been discharged from the hospital, and her body is still very weak, so you can spare her." β
When everyone stood in the middle of me and Yi Jin, Yi Jin looked at me with a gloomy face, and he finally put down his hand, raised his hand and ripped off the tie around his neck, and then sat down on the sofa.
Wu Ni and the servant were relieved to see this, and after Wu Ni walked up, he took me, who had been standing there with my face covered and expressionless, to sit down on the sofa, and the servant immediately went to the kitchen to bring tea out.
I don't know how long it took, after Yi Jin finally calmed down his emotions, he turned his eyes to me again, and after seeing that my face was five bright red finger prints, the last trace of displeasure on his face also disappeared, replaced by a gentle calm after the storm, he said: "Wait a minute, let Sister-in-law Zhang rub some medicine for you." β
Sister-in-law Zhang on the side listened to Yi Jin's instructions and immediately said, "Okay." "I immediately went to my room to get me medicine.
After the ointment was taken out, Sister-in-law Zhang applied the medicine to me on the side, Yi Jin watched from the side, until the redness and swelling on my face dissipated a little, he got up from the sofa, walked towards me, sat down next to me, his hand was about to touch me, just when everyone didn't expect it, I said: "Don't touch me!" and unceremoniously knocked off Yi Jin's hand, and then quickly ran upstairs in everyone's stunned sight.
After Wu Ni got up from the sofa, she chased after me and shouted, "Xiao Fan!
She was just about to catch up upstairs, but Yi Jin, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly said expressionlessly: "Don't chase it." After Wu Ni heard his words, he immediately stopped and looked back at him, Yi Jin slowly picked up the cup of tea on the table, lowered his eyes and took a sip, and after a long time, he added lightly: "Let her go." β
Wu Ni could only be helpless.
After I rushed into the room, I locked myself in the room, this was the first time Yi Jin hit me, I sat in front of the mirror and looked at myself in the mirror, the five finger prints were particularly conspicuous in the light, I sneered.
In the next few days, Yi Jin locked me in the room, not allowing me to step out of the door, Wu Ni went in to bring me food and said, my mobile phone has not been turned on all day, Yi Jin came back from the company at ten o'clock in the evening, and learned that after I went out in the morning, he did not go home until the evening, he has always been gentle to the servants, and he actually made a big fire on the servants at home on the spot.
In the middle of the night, everyone was looking for me, and the whole villa was overturned, and finally even the police were dispatched.
That's why, after I came back, Yi Jin would be so angry.
Wu Ni sighed and said: "Xiao Fan, Yi Jin is such a calm person, only for your sister will he not be so calm, he is really afraid of melting in his mouth, and he is afraid of falling in his hand, you don't know how much I envy you." β
After she said this, she lowered her head and her face was full of gloom and loss.
I am not a person who can comfort people by nature, in the face of her sudden reaction, I can only try to comfort her in a soft voice: "Actually, my brother is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, although he didn't say anything to you on the surface, but after you came to live at home during this time, how much his attitude towards you has changed, you should also know." β
Wu Ni fell a few tears under her eyelids, and I immediately pulled out a tissue from the side and handed it to her, and she said, "Thank you." After that, he lowered his head and wiped his tears and said: "Xiaofan, don't comfort me anymore, she is really good to me, but compared to you"
When she said this, I immediately said: "Sister-in-law, how long have I lived with him? Family and love are different, many things between people also need feelings and time to pave the way, if you have lived with him for more than 20 years, he must be the same for you." β
When Wu Ni heard my words, the hope in her eyes picked up again, she looked at me and asked, "Is it really what you said?"
I don't know why, after seeing Wu Ni's eyes full of hope, I couldn't answer her words.
After a long time, I still answered her, and I smiled and said, "Yes, after all, you are the first woman my brother brought home, but you can imagine that you are different from him, so don't be discouraged." β
Wu Ni held my hand and said, "Since you say so, then sister-in-law listens to you, but Xiaofan, can you promise me one thing." β
I looked at her.
Wu Ni said: "Don't quarrel with your brother, I really don't want the two of you to make a fuss like this, and I don't want him to be angry about your affairs, Xiaofan, can you promise your sister-in-law?"
I didn't speak, Wu Ni didn't wait for my answer, and instantly shook my hand anxiously, urging: "Xiaofan, is it okay for you to promise your sister-in-law? I really don't want your brother to be angry." β
I couldn't help Wu Ni begging bitterly, and finally agreed.
Regarding Wu Ni's request, in the next few days, although I was still locked up at home by Yi Jin, at least I was able to go out and walk around, and the two of us didn't meet for a long time, but we were still able to say a word or two when we met.
Of course, the reason why I relented was not because of Wu Ni's plea, but because I rushed out to see Tong Xiangyu, she finally relented and told me everything she knew, and now she was not only locked up in the villa by Yi Jin because of this incident, but also missed the opportunity to meet Tong Xiangyu, I am afraid that something will happen in the middle.
So I picked a time in the evening, after Yi Jin came back, I went downstairs to make some small pastries myself, and made a cup of tea upstairs, when Yi Jin just came out of the bathroom, with a towel in his hand to wipe the water droplets on his hair, he glanced at me standing at the door, did not speak, as if he did not see, went to the desk, turned on the office computer, and sat there to deal with the things in the computer.
The room was silent, and the light of the computer screen cast a small piece of fluorescence on Yi Jin's face, and he couldn't tell whether he was in a good mood or not.
I could only walk towards him with something in my hand, and after standing behind him, I said, "Brother." β
Yi Jin didn't even look at me, his smooth and trimmed fingertips were on the touch screen of the computer, moving from time to time, I saw that he didn't answer me, I put the pastries and tea in my hand on the table, and Yi Jin, who was sitting there, took a look.
He finally spoke, and he said, "Why, what kind of wind is blowing today." β
I said, "I did it all with my own hands." β
After Yi Jin heard my words, his hand on the computer was retracted, he turned to look at me sideways, leaned back slightly, his eyes looked at me with a smile and said, "It should be a southwest wind blowing today." β
I stood in front of him, lowered my head as much as I could, made my attitude appear sincere, and said, "It was indeed me who was wrong that day, I shouldn't have gone out without saying hello, not answering your calls, turning off my mobile phone, and going home so late." β
I counted my guilt one by one, but this didn't make Yi Jin react much, he still maintained that lazy posture and looked at me, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened a lot.
He said: "You know, because this kind of thing happened during this time, I don't really want to be angry with you, Xiao Fan, you are too inch-inch." β
After he said this, the smile on the corner of his mouth turned cold.
I immediately replied, "I know." β
Yi Jin sneered and said: "No, you don't know, you never know how worried I am about you, you and I will always admit our mistakes like this, just recognize the surface, maybe now as soon as you turn your head, you will forget, you will never change, you might as well not come to me to waste time with this kind of apology." β
After Yi Jin said this, he didn't turn his head to look at me again, and continued to cast his eyes on the computer screen, and his whole sitting posture returned to indifference, obviously, he did not accept my apology.
I stood there without anyone speaking, he sits, I stood, but I didn't leave his room.
I don't know how long the time has passed, after Yi Jin dealt with the things on the computer, he went out and connected a few phone calls back, seeing that I was still standing here and did not leave, his face softened a lot, and after walking towards me, he put the phone on the desk, and he sat down in front of me again, this time not facing the computer again, but facing me.
He looked at me with a calm face and said, "Since you want to apologize, well, I'll ask you two questions, and if you answer, I'll forgive you." β
He took his hand back from the table and placed it on the armrests on both sides of the chair, and tapped twice on the armrests between his right fingers, which was the action he thought about subconsciously, and he said, "It's very simple, who to be with and where to go." β
I know these two problems, they must be these two problems, Yi Jin is a very strong person in control, and he will not hold me accountable for the day I disappear inexplicably.
I asked him these two questions, I gave him half true and half false, I said: "I am with Zhao Zhou." β
Yi Jin put his hand on the armrest and tapped his hand twice and stopped, he looked at me expressionlessly, and the emotions on his face did not fluctuate too much.
I said again: "Talk to Zhao Zhou about divorce." β
After hearing my last words, Yi Jin's hand on the armrest was lowered, and he changed his sitting position to look at me, a sitting position he often used to negotiate in the business field.
Him: "Oh?" looked at me, his tail note high.
I said the truth, I said: "Actually, Zhao Zhou and I talked about divorce just two months ago, because Zhao Weimei had a child, but because of various things later, we never succeeded in talking until we made an appointment to meet again that day." β
He picked up the cup of tea I had made on the table and sniffed it at the tip of his nose, he didn't look at me, but casually dialed the tea in the cup with the lid, watching the turquoise tea make a small ripple in his hand.
He said, "And then, what about your answer." β
I said, "I promised." β
Yi Jin's hand stopped, and he closed the teacup and looked at me.
I said, "I'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to go through the formalities and get a divorce in the next few days." β
I don't know how much Yi Jin believed in my words, and then after he heard my words, he put down the teacup in his hand, he stretched out his hand to me, and he said, "Come here." β
I looked at him stiffly, and he said, "Come here." β
I could only walk slowly towards him as he said, and when I reached him, he suddenly took my hand and sat me down on his lap, we hadn't had such an ambiguous and intimate movement in a long time.
I just wanted to resist, but reason always trumps the will of the body.
I didn't move, I just obediently let him hold it, Yi Jin didn't make any other moves, he brushed away the hair wrapped around my neck, and his fingertips stroked carefully where he had hit, for a long time, he asked softly, "Does it still hurt?"
I felt his hand fall on my face like a needle was scratching me.
I could only try to resist the discomfort, and I said to him, "A little more. β
The emotion in Yi Jin's eyes deepened a lot, and he stroked my face with pity on his fingertips, and he said, "I'll apply some medicine later."
β
I bowed my head, nodded, and said okay.
I sat in Yi Jin's arms, and we were so close that I could feel his warm snort fall on the tip of my nose.
I didn't know what he was going to do, I just tensed my body and waited for this long time to pass as soon as possible.
But Yi Jin just provoked my face, and landed a kiss on my lips that was not out of place, his lips did not leave the corners of my lips immediately, but stayed on them for a long time, his tone was extremely low and extremely deep, and extremely lingering, he called me in a volume that only the two of us could hear: "Fan Fan"
I didn't answer, I didn't speak, I didn't move, and my palms were covered in a cold sweat.
Just as we were maintaining this kind of movement, there was a knock on the door, and Wu Ni's voice came in from outside, and she said, "Xiao Fan, Yi Jin, are you still inside? I cut some fruit." β
Yi Jin didn't respond for the time being, but finally dropped a kiss on my lips, then let go of the hand that locked my waist, stroked my head twice, and said, "Go ahead." β
His words finally let go of the stone in my heart, and I didn't dare to get up too quickly, so I tried to make my movements from his arms as smooth and natural as possible.
As I walked from this end of my desk to the door, I pulled the door open.
Wu Ni was still standing outside, she had a neatly cut fruit bowl in her hand, and when the two of us looked at each other, she looked at it with a smile and asked in a low voice, "Did you succeed in apologizing to your brother?"
There was a hint of a smile on the corner of my mouth, I was just about to say something, Yi Jin behind me got up from the chair with a smile, and returned to normal, not seeing anything unusual, and said with a smile: "It turned out that you sent her over to apologize, I said that she usually doesn't look like such an honest person." β
Wu Ni saw that her words were exposed, and immediately stopped hiding it, and after she walked in with a fruit bowl, she said with a smile: "You can't give me all the credit, Xiao Fan really wants to apologize." β
Yi Jin stopped drinking water, and said with an inexplicable smile: "Is it?"
Wu Ni put the fruit plate in his hand on the desk, smiled more and more happily and said: "Of course it's true, it's not that you don't know Xiao Fan's temper, if she doesn't want to apologize sincerely, she won't come to you at all." β
After Wu Ni said this, her hand was just about to withdraw from the fruit plate, when Yi Jin's gaze fell on the wound on her index finger that was held by a band-aid.
Yi Jin suddenly asked, "What's wrong with your hands?" β
Yi Jin's words made Wu Ni's hand immediately handed, she put it behind her back and said with a smile: "It's okay, I accidentally cut my hand when I was cutting fruit just now." β
But Yi Jin pinched her hand, glanced at it and said, "There are servants for these things, you don't have to do it yourself." The next second, Yi Jin raised his face and said to her, "You are my fiancΓ©e, not someone else." β
Wu Ni probably didn't expect that Yi Jin would be so caring and gentle to her today, the expression on her face couldn't tell whether it was surprise or a little unprepared, and there was an irrepressible excitement and a strange blush on her face.
It took a long time for her to squeeze out a sentence from her throat: "I, I'm fine, really"
The tone behind her softened completely, and Yi Jin looked at her like this with a smile in his eyes, but did not speak.
Wu Ni softened more and more under the gaze of his gaze.
I stood in the doorway and saw this, and I didn't linger any longer, closed the door, and quickly returned to my room.
Back in the room, I stood in the bathroom and wiped the corners of Yi Jin's lips with water, as if this would drive away the burning heat on it.
In the past, I could tolerate this kind of thing, but now, as long as I think of that test report, this kind of nausea is really with me, and it is getting worse and worse.
But what could I do, I leaned against the wall in despair, looking at myself in the mirror with a decadent face.
The sudden death of his parents, will Yi Jin be even more blatant, that DN can't suppress him at all.
I was still so confused about the future, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly in the mirror.
After Yi Jin softened, the grounding order was naturally lifted, and on the first day of the solution, this time I didn't repeat the mistakes of the past, but took the initiative to tell Wu Ni that I was going out.
Wu Ni was watering the flowers in the living room at the time, and when he saw me say this, he immediately asked, "Where are you going?" β
She seemed to be scared by Yi Jin last time, so this time she was extra cautious about me going out.
I smiled and said, "I made an appointment and went to the mall." β
Wu Ni asked, "Do you want me to accompany you?"
I said, "No, I'll be back soon." β
Wu Ni saw that I had said this, and it was hard to say anything, so she could only smile and say, "Then you go early and come back early." β
I smiled and nodded.
After coming out of the villa, Zhao Zhou and I still made an appointment to meet at the old place, I just opened the car door and got into his car, and he asked anxiously in his eyes: "I agreed that day, why didn't you come out?"
I said that I was grounded by Yi Jin.
Zhao Zhoudang even said: "Your brother's desire to control you is getting stronger and stronger now, and now no one can suppress him anymore." β
I didn't speak, just asked Zhao Zhou to drive quickly.
Zhao Zhou knew that I couldn't come out for too long, so I could only start the car and quickly drive towards Tong Xiangyu's house, about forty minutes, my door arrived, after Zhao Zhou parked the car, I got out of the car with him one after another, and arrived at the door of Tong Xiangyu's rental house, the door was still closed.
Zhao Zhou and I reached out and knocked on the door, but no one responded after knocking for an hour, when the neighbor next door seemed to be annoyed by our knock on the door, walked out of the room, looked at us standing at the door, and said impatiently: "Knock, knock, knock what are you knocking here, everyone is gone." β
At the same time as Zhao Zhou, I asked, "What did you say?!"
The neighbor said, "I packed my things and left five days ago, don't you know?"
Five days ago, that is, the day after we went to take her child to the hospital, she ran away? Zhao Zhou and I didn't expect this, because her emotions and her attitude that day didn't look like someone who could run or even lie to us.
I immediately restrained the emotions on my face, and after the neighbor wanted to close the house and go in, I grabbed it and asked in a good tone: "Then I want to ask you, did she say where she went before leaving?"
The man was a little amused and said, "How do we know where she went, she never told us about her, if it wasn't for her husband who killed the rich family that day and published it in the newspaper, otherwise we wouldn't know about it." β
I tightened my grip on the door a few inches, and I asked again, "Did anyone come to her in the days she was gone?"
When I asked, the man frowned and fell into deep thought, and after a long time she said, "It seems that there are so many people, two men, dressed very formally, looking like the kind of people who work in the bank, and they came to her in suits." β
When she was about to close the door, I immediately asked, "Do you remember what those people looked like?"
The older I asked, the more impatient the man became, and she said, "You're such an interesting person, how do I know about other people's affairs?" β
After she finished speaking, she pushed me with her backhand and slammed the door shut.
Zhao Zhou and I stood there and looked at each other, but I didn't expect that in the few days I was locked up at home, as I feared, things had changed, who would be the few people in suits that the neighbors were talking about?
Obviously, the day after we left the hospital, she hadn't thought about leaving, and according to what the neighbor just said, it could be judged that Tong Xiangyu must have remembered to leave after those few people in suits came to her.
So, who are these people exactly.
After Zhao Zhou and I got down from the rental house, we sat in the car and pondered, now Tong Xiangyu's only clues are broken, it is impossible to investigate, even if you want to find her, but how difficult it is to find someone in the vast sea of people.
We sat silently in the car for more than ten minutes, and Zhao Zhou asked me, "What should I do?"
I said, "I don't know. β
I really didn't know, but just as I reached the door for answers, the door was closed again.
Zhao Zhou frowned and said, "Is it possible that someone sent by Yi Jin?"
I said, "I'm not sure about Yi Jin now, it's just that the biggest suspicion is him, and I don't know if it's someone he sent." β
Zhao Zhou said: "But this is too coincidental, as soon as you go home, you are grounded, and Tong Xiangyu left in the days when you couldn't get out, there is no such coincidence in this world, right?"
I didn't answer Zhao Zhou's words, I just sat there in silence.
Zhao Zhou saw that I didn't seem to be in a very good mood, so he didn't continue to get out of the car, so he could only start the car to send me home, but I didn't go back, but asked Zhao Zhou to send me to the funeral home.
When Zhao Zhou heard my proposal, he hesitated instantly, and he said, "Xiao Fan, let's go back." β
I knew he was afraid of facing such cruelty again, and I said, "At the moment of the car accident, Xiaoqi and I were wearing seat belts, and my mother was screaming in fear, and she pounced on me. β
I curled up in my chair, covered my face with my hands and said, " Zhao Zhou, in fact, during this period of time, I really hated my mother, I complained about her for so many years, and she always ignored the things that I was hurt by Yi Jin, I even felt that it was because of her connivance and silence that Yi Jin became more and more rampant towards me, I even felt that she had been good to me in recent years, and she had ulterior motives at all, but when the last critical moment, she herself screamed in fright, but her subconscious actions were to protect me, Zhao Zhou, do you know? β
I buried my face in my hands, shrugged my shoulders, and muffled, "I really want to see them." β
When Zhao Zhou saw me like this, he finally compromised and drove the car to the funeral home.
When the staff of the funeral home slowly opened the two freezers in front of me, I didn't even have the courage to go to see them, I really never thought that one day they would lie here, they are my parents, half a month ago my mother also said that after Yi Jin got married, she wanted to retire and travel the world with my father.
At that time, she was full of infinite hope for life, because Yi Jin's matter was a stone that pressed on her heart, but she had just put down this stone, and her words had not been realized, and she and my father ended up lying in such a place.
I couldn't accept it, I stood there and shook my body a few times, Zhao Zhou rushed up and wanted to support me, my whole person squatted down a little weakly, I covered my lips to prevent my cry from leaking out, which would wake them up.
