I originally wanted to go with me, but there was only one nurse on my mother-in-law's side, and I really couldn't leave, thinking that Chen Dingfeng was alone, and I was not familiar with life when I went to Linshi, and finally I called Jiang Junxiu, only to know that he also got the news and was already on his way to Linshi.

I was a little relieved, and even thought that the two of them, at least one person, would bring Ye Shengyin back safe and sound, even if it was Jiang Junxiu, it didn't matter, as long as she was well, come back.

As for what choices she wants to make in the future, it doesn't matter, she should at least come back first to finish her grandmother's funeral.

If it weren't for the fact that I had known Ye Shengyin for more than 20 years, and I had never seen any relatives in their family, and she and her grandmother had always been the only ones who depended on each other, I even wanted her to escape so far away, or leave H City, she could start her life again.

But there is no way, grandma is gone, no matter how sad and unwilling she is now, she always needs to come back first to fulfill her due obligations.

You can't really let Chen Dingfeng bear everything, no matter how much he and Ye Shengyin are just boyfriend and girlfriend, not to mention that she and Jiang Junxiu are still involved!

The day after they set off to look for Ye Shengyin in Linshi, my sister-in-law called me, saying that she was here to care about my current situation, but in the end, she was complaining to me, saying that there were always people in the store who came to make trouble recently.

I was upset by Ye Shengyin's disappearance the day before, and my mother-in-law here is arguing all day long about why she can't move, as soon as she wakes up, she cries there and says that if she is paralyzed, it is better to die.

At first glance, when I heard my sister-in-law's complaints, I subconsciously felt irritable, and I choked her angrily: "With you, who dares to make trouble?

It was the first time my sister-in-law was so mercilessly sarcastic to me, and her voice suddenly raised a few degrees: "Why do you talk like that? I just complained to you, and I didn't ask you to do anything, do you say it so ugly? If I hadn't heard that your family had offended someone, I was worried that someone was angry with us and deliberately found someone to cause trouble, so would you and I be willing to come and tell you?"

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone angrily, but I seemed to be woken up by her, my heart tightened, and I subconsciously thought that Guo Yuqing had not heard from her for several days.

I thought of the words she whispered outside her father-in-law's funeral hall, and she said, "Why can you enjoy a peaceful life so comfortably when you have hurt me?"

In the past few days, I have been busy, my head is full of my mother-in-law's illness, Lu Yanxi's illness, and I have to worry about Lu Xudong's affairs...... Could it be that she really found someone to go to the Haodi convenience store to make trouble?

I called my mother worriedly, but before I could say anything, my mother reprimanded me first: "I was about to call you, you said you, how can you talk to your sister-in-law like that?"

I asked her sullenly, "My sister-in-law sued you?"

"What a complaint, she just called next to me, hung up and sent a big fire, and now go home. My mother sighed and said, "I didn't let her call, you have been doing a lot at home recently, and you are very busy, but she has to fight, saying that the store will be tossed like this again, and the business will not know how to do it, so I will fight if I want to, anyway, ask the reason, know who is making trouble, but you are good, as soon as you open your mouth, you offended her!"

I pursed my lips, saying in my heart who asked her to bother me at this time, and I didn't forget to ask, "Does anyone come to make trouble every day? How long has it been? Have you ever called the police?"

"It's just that people come to make trouble every day, and we think that someone is deliberate, just for the past four or five days, every day is just after seven o'clock in the evening, and the business in the store is the best time. My mother sighed again, and her tone was a little helpless: "It's not a big deal, and the police are just making it a matter of losing money, just like the one last night, holding the bag of instant noodles that has been opened, not to say that there is a dead fly in it, saying that our store sells counterfeit goods, shouting loudly and quietly, not listening to any explanation, scolding the customers in the store away, making trouble for more than half an hour, and finally giving him a hundred yuan before he is willing to leave!"

No wonder my sister-in-law is so angry, even if I encounter this kind of thing, I am also angry.

Thinking that it is really possible that Guo Yuqing is looking for someone to do this kind of thing, I am both annoyed and helpless, Guo Yuqing is a complete madman now, she can even harm the Lu family who has lived for more than ten years to this point, can you still expect to explain the reason to her?!

"Mom, the next time there is such a person to stir up trouble, you can greet him with kind words and ask him privately to see if you can know who is behind the trouble. "My idea is that with evidence, maybe I can call the police to arrest the mastermind behind the scenes, in this way, even if Guo Yuqing wants to deny it, he can't resist it.

My mother answered a few words, asked about my mother-in-law's situation, and then tactfully hinted that I went to my sister-in-law to make amends, and then said that there was a guest and didn't say anything more to me.

After hanging up the phone, I hesitated for a while before sending a message to my sister-in-law, saying: I have already discussed countermeasures with my mother, and I didn't mean to say that about you on the phone just now, but I have been under too much pressure recently, so I ...... I'm sorry!

My sister-in-law didn't reply for a long time, and it wasn't until I fed my mother-in-law dinner in the evening that she came back with a large paragraph, to the effect that I don't know how long I wanted to sarcastically mock her, and what else would be great if I married into a rich family, and I could ignore my elders and so on.

I put my phone back in my bag, washed the dishes and chopsticks again, and was about to get some water to feed my mother-in-law with medicine, when the phone suddenly rang again.

I thought to myself, thinking that at this point in time, it would not be someone who went to the store to make trouble, and then my mother called me, but I took out my mobile phone, only to find that the caller was a local unknown number.

I thought it was some kind of advertising spam call, but I answered it casually, but I didn't make a sound, so I thought that I would hang up as soon as I was sure that it was an advertisement.

The other party first said "hey", and then asked very solemnly, "Is it Miss Di Sese?"

"Well, I am. I replied confusedly, wondering who would call me, and asked, "May I ask who you are?"

"Oh, that's right, our side is from the Nanhu Police Station in Binhu District, someone picked up a wallet in Nanhu Park this evening, and just handed it over to our office, when our colleagues registered, they found that the ID card information in the wallet corresponded to the missing person Ye Shengyin who was looking for another colleague in the office, so I called Mr. Chen, who had registered contact information before, and wanted to ask him to come over to confirm the lost property, and by the way, confirm a video taken by tourists in the park at that time, but Mr. Chen said that he is not in H City at the moment, and left me your phone number, let me contact you here, I don't know if you have time to come over？”

As soon as I heard that the other party was from the police station, my heart was half cold, and then I heard that the wallet containing Ye Shengyin's ID card was picked up in Nanhu Park, and my heart suddenly cooled thoroughly.

I hurriedly asked for the address, said that I would be over in a while, hung up the phone and hurriedly called the nurse aunt who went to dinner, and asked her to come back quickly.

While waiting for the nurse aunt to come back, my hands were trembling slightly when I was feeding my mother-in-law's medicine. Didn't she say that she bought a ticket to Linshi? Why did she run to Nanhu Park? And what the hell is the video to be confirmed?

Absentmindedly waiting for the nurse aunt to come back, I briefly explained to her that there was something to do, grabbed my bag and ran out, got into the taxi and reported the address, and then took out my mobile phone to check the time, and found two unread text messages.

Chen Dingfeng sent me a telegram asking if I had received a call from the police station? It is estimated that after leaving my phone number for the police station, he wanted to call me to ask about the situation, but he was afraid that if he called early, the line would be occupied and the police station would not be able to call.

Another message immediately said that he and Jiang Junxiu did not find any information about Ye Shengyin over there, suspecting that she bought a ticket but did not get on the bus at all, and they were now on their way back to H City.

After reading the information, the whole person was even more uneasy, if Ye Shengyin didn't go to Linshi, then she really went to Nanhu Park?

I sent a message back to Chen Dingfeng, saying that I was on my way to the police station, and told him that I would contact them again when I got back, and then I held my mobile phone and went all the way to the Nanhu police station.

After the car stopped, I paid the fare and wiped the cold sweat from my forehead before gritting my teeth and getting out of the car.

The night breeze of late spring brought a chill in my face, and I shivered unconsciously.

It was past the end of work, and there were only two policemen on duty in the station, and when they heard my intention, one of them immediately got up and took out a bag from the cabinet next to him and put it on the table in front of me, "Look, is it your friend's?"

The bag contained a wallet and a bunch of keys, which I recognized at a glance, it was definitely Ye Shengyin's belongings. If the wallet can be regarded as the same model, but how to explain that even the keychain is the same model? Not to mention that the keychain was given to her on Valentine's Day one year.

My heart was cold, and the biting coldness spread all over my body, and I felt that my thoughts were a little dull, and it took a long time to look up at the police in a daze, and asked him worriedly: "I...... Can I open it and take a look?"

He nodded to me, probably recognizing that I was recognizable by the way I looked, and then said, "Don't get excited, there will be a video for you to help watch later." He said as he moved his mouse on the computer.

I said "yes" and tried my best to calmly take my wallet out of the bag, only to open it and catch my eye on a large headcard inside the wallet.

That was when Ye Shengyin was still in college, and we came back one summer vacation to shoot together.

At that time, the big stickers were just becoming popular, and it cost ten yuan to shoot a group of eight small stickers, although it only cost ten yuan, but we still made a lot of determination to spend it, and because of this, we originally said that we would go to eat smoothies together, but in the end it was changed to a cup of milk tea for three yuan per person.

I stretched out my finger and slowly stroked the photo, remembering the past, and then thinking about the present, my heart turned over for a while, even my hands trembled, and I couldn't hold back the tears, one after another frantically poured out.

Maybe I had already made the worst conclusion in my heart, so when the police comrade turned the computer screen to me and began to play me the video that "needs to be confirmed", although I quickly recognized that the figure in the video who jumped over the guardrail without the slightest hesitation was indeed Ye Shengyin, but I didn't have a particularly big reaction.

I just covered my mouth in silence and sobbed, stubbornly watching the video over and over again until the policeman turned the screen away.

He said: "Miss Di, looking at your reaction, it should be confirmed that the young lady in the video is Miss Ye Shengyin, the owner of this wallet, right?"

I took a deep breath and sniffed again, then nodded, and then choked up and asked him, "Who took the video, when, where, and no one went to save her?"

"Don't get excited Miss Di yet!" the police comrade patiently explained to me: " The video was taken by a passerby, she lives near Nanhu Park, she will go to the park early every morning to run, this morning she finished running and was ready to go home, just out of the park soon after seeing the bridge across the street standing this Miss Ye, the young lady who took the video is a photography enthusiast, at that time I felt that Miss Ye standing on the bridge contemplative picture is very beautiful, so I took out my mobile phone to prepare to take a picture, because it was a candid shot, she took out her mobile phone and turned on the camera and clicked on the shooting, only to find that her mobile phone was in camera mode, and was about to turn it back, and I saw this scene just now through the camera screen……”

"After she was frightened, she immediately called for help, but because the time was too early, and ......there were few people who usually went to the other side of the park," the police comrade paused slightly, with a little regretful expression on his face: "They couldn't rescue Miss Ye in time, and after we received the police and rushed over, we didn't find Miss Ye." ”

I was shocked, looked at the police with blazing eyes, and asked with some expectation, "So it's likely that she's fine, right?"

A touch of embarrassment and sympathy flashed on the faces of the police comrades: "The river where Miss Ye jumped directly leads to Nanhu, and the waters of Nanhu are so vast, and the underwater situation is extremely complicated...... So the probability you're talking about is basically zero. ”

Of course, I know that the waters of Nanhu Lake are vast, and last summer there was a news report that two pleasure boats collided in Nanhu Park, and a woman without a life jacket fell into the water.

But I can't accept this fact! Ye Shengyin is only twenty-five years old, she is still so young, and more importantly, she is still pregnant, isn't she? How could she do such a stupid thing? How could she be?

I didn't know how I got out of the police station, I just knew that my head was in chaos, and I walked out of the distance before I sat down in a daze on the green belt on the side of the street.

The street lamps next to the street emit a dim light, the night is silent, the cold wind gusts, probably because of the proximity to the suburbs, there are hardly any pedestrians on the street, but there are occasional vehicles speeding by.

I was stunned for a while, and then I took out the mobile phone that had been ringing for an unknown number of times from my bag, and Lu Xudong's voice came from the other end of the phone with a little imperceptible panic: "Cersei, why did it take so long to answer the phone?"

"Oh, I didn't pay attention to ...... just now" I wanted to hide it as if nothing happened, but in the end I still couldn't hold back the tears that suddenly surged, I choked up, listening to Lu Xudong's anxious question over there, and it took a long time to say the sentence: "Shengyin is dead......"

I held my mobile phone and cried, and my mind echoed over and over again the memories of being with Ye Shengyin, those times when I fell asleep, those years when I comforted and cheered each other, and those years when I hugged my head and cried...... There was even the angry scolding I had when I saw her for the last time......

Obviously, she is the one who hates iron but not steel, why did she become like this in the end?

I cried bitterly for a while, and when I calmed down, I found that the phone I was holding tightly in my hand was still on the phone, I put the phone to my ear and hoarsely "hey".

"I'm here!" Lu Xudong's voice came immediately, he gasped slightly, as if he had just run over, and asked me with a little worry: "Where are you?"

"No need to ......" Before he could say the next words, he was quickly interrupted by Lu Xudong: "I'm already in the hospital, I haven't found you, Cersei, I'm worried about you like this, tell me where you are, okay?"

So as soon as he heard me crying, he flew straight from the company to the hospital? Thinking of the speed at which he was in a hurry to get up and drive, I was afraid for a while, and the tears that I had just collected quietly slipped down again.

I choked up and reported my approximate location to Lu Xudong, listening to him say "I'll come right over", hearing the sound of him neatly closing the car door and starting the engine, my chaotic heart finally calmed down a little.

But before I could tell him to drive slower, the phone suddenly rang twice, and then it became silent. I took it down and took a look, only to know that the phone was running out of battery and automatically turned off.

I looked at my phone in a trance, and then I remembered that I forgot to call Chen Dingfeng back, at this time, they should be almost in H City, right?

My heart was desolate, and gradually turned from sadness to self-blame: if I had calmed down and talked to her that day, if I hadn't scolded her so disappointed, wouldn't she have been so desperate?

If it weren't for Jiang Junxiu's entanglement, if it weren't for Lu Yanxi's refusal to divorce...... If I hadn't married Lu Xudong......

Lu Yanxi scolded right, it's all my fault, if I hadn't married Lu Xudong, Ye Shengyin wouldn't have known Jiang Junxiu, the high-flying and domineering Lu Yanxi wouldn't have become the walking dead now, Guo Yuqing wouldn't be annoyed and angry because she couldn't get it, her father-in-law wouldn't have died, her mother-in-law wouldn't have been paralyzed by a stroke caused by successive stimuli, and even my mother's shop wouldn't have anyone deliberately making trouble......

Again, I thought about divorce.

If I divorce Lu Xudong, Guo Yuqing won't let people go to Haodi convenience store to make trouble anymore, right? She shouldn't be so hard and pressed anymore, so that Lu Xudong is exhausted to deal with, and if it weren't for me, Lu Yanxi might not easily think that her husband was snatched away by her brother and daughter-in-law's best friend, maybe it can also help her recovery......

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this solution was feasible, and I even had a sense of chagrin that "why didn't I realize it earlier, and I didn't know to let go until now when I was so desolate".

When Lu Xudong found me, I even prayed silently in my heart, hoping that it was too late for a divorce to be too late to cause more damage.

I watched his car stop next to me, stood up from the green belt very calmly, and just looked at Lu Xudong, who was running towards me with an anxious face, and let him stand in front of me and look at me from head to toe, and then took me into his arms.

"Cersei, you're freaking me...... You were crying like that on the phone just now......" Lu Xudong's arm around my back trembled slightly, he took a deep breath, let go of me a little, changed to holding my face, and said very seriously: "If you have something in the future, call me first, let me face it with you......"

I didn't wait for him to finish his sentence before I interrupted him: "Let's get a divorce!"

Lu Xudong was stunned for a moment, probably didn't expect me to say this suddenly, looked at me in amazement for a long time, and then said, "Are you tired?"

"I'm serious. I looked straight into his eyes, and there was a numbness in my heart that was extremely painful, and I said very slowly, word by word: "Let's get a divorce!"

"Why?" his eyes darkened, and the expression on his face was very complicated, with disbelief and a deep gloom: "Because of Ye Shengyin?" or ...... Or did Mom say something about you again?"

After her mother-in-law was able to speak, every time Lu Xudong came to the hospital to see her, she had to say a lot of angry things, blaming him for not coming to see her, saying that he was the same as Lu Yanxi, and the sister and brother had no conscience.

Lu Xudong was scolded by her every time, and he also took my hand to apologize to me, saying: "Mom must have scolded you indiscriminately, Cersei, I'm sorry, I always let you be wronged." ”

I didn't say anything, Lu Xudong probably thought he had guessed right, and held my face and explained eagerly: "You know, she just can't accept her physical condition for the time being, so she will be grumpy and speak ugly, but she is by no means intentional...... Otherwise, let's hire one more nurse, and you won't go to the hospital in the future......"

"Not because of her. I reached out to cover his mouth, interrupted his explanation, took a deep breath, and pulled the corners of my mouth at him a little vaguely: "It's that I'm tired, too many things have happened these days, I feel like I'm being pressed and out of breath, you know, I'm just a very cowardly person, I've worked so hard these days, I really can't hold it anymore, I just want to be an ordinary person, live a safe and stable life, I'm really afraid of being like this, and I don't want to be stuck in the panic of not knowing what will happen tomorrow!"

Lu Xudong looked at me with heavy eyes, as if he was identifying whether I was telling the truth, and after a while, he let go of the hand holding my face, and instead grabbed my shoulder, half-hugged and half-pulled me to the car: "It's too late today, let's go home first, and wait until tomorrow!"

Without saying a word, he shoved me into the passenger cab, fastened my seatbelt and closed the door before trotting around the front of the car and back in the driver's seat.

All the way, I leaned back on my seat with my eyes closed and pretended to sleep, not that I didn't regret that I said something like that on impulse just now, but then I thought of Lu Yanxi's accusations and Guo Yuqing's threats, as well as Lu Xudong's sorrow these days, and then thinking about Ye Shengyin's figure of turning over and jumping into the river, I could only desperately comfort myself and say, this is right, this is good for everyone.

When I got home, I went straight to the second bedroom, and only said when Lu Xudong wanted to follow up: "I want to be alone and quiet." ”

He smiled reluctantly at me, nodded, and said "OK!" in a heavy voice, and took a step back.

I slammed the door shut, locked it and sat down slowly against the panel.

The curtains of the room were not drawn, and the lights of other buildings were reflected outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

I sat in the second bedroom until the lights in the building opposite were turned off and there were only three or five scattered lights left, and then I got up in a trance and prepared to go to the bathroom.

As a result, when I opened the door, I was startled by a tall figure at the door.

There was no light in the house, and I thought Lu Xudong had gone to sleep, after all, he had been busy these days, and he could only sleep for three or five hours a day.

Lu Xudong probably didn't expect me to open the door suddenly, so he was stunned for a moment before reaching out to turn on the light on the aisle, and asked me a little nervously in front of me, "Where are you going?"

I compared the direction of the bathroom and didn't speak.

He let out an "oh", smiled bitterly, and stepped aside.

I felt a pain in my heart, bit my lip and pretended to go to the bathroom as if nothing happened, and when I came out, I saw Lu Xudong still standing in place, he lowered his head, and the lights on the aisle reflected on him, half-bright and half-dark, full of shadows, I was a little at a loss for a while.

"You...... Don't you want to sleep?" I walked up to Lu Xudong and asked him hesitantly.

He looked up at me, smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and then replied casually: "Maybe I've been used to staying up late late, and I can't sleep so early." ”

I felt a sour feeling in my heart, and I didn't know what to say, just now when I came from the bathroom and glanced at the clock, it was already more than one o'clock in the morning, he actually said early, I didn't dare to think about how busy he was in the company every day.
