Chapter 19: Confrontation (2)
"Xiao Yi, some things are not as simple as you think. Yu Qinling said,
"If you don't do it, you will be involved. Now that something has happened, there is always a place to leave evidence, and no matter how much money is spent, we have to send him to prison so that he can get the punishment he deserves. ”
"Got it, Mom and Dad. Mu Yi said sullenly, he followed his parents listlessly, and seemed to have changed back to the way he was when he was a child.
His sense of security was secured by his parents, and although he was still angry and uncomfortable, at least he didn't feel so helpless.
"Lao Mu, how do you say I can explain to Jingyou? She handed over her good girl to us, and the result was ......" Yu Qinling said sadly, she sighed,
"It's because we didn't take good care of her, and I feel uncomfortable. Mu Yukai held his wife's hand and was silent.
He was also uncomfortable in his heart, when he first heard Mu Yi say this, he was shocked, and it took a while to accept it like Yu Qinling.
I have to say that in his heart, because of this incident, Lin Yansheng's impression has changed suddenly, although he said that he regarded her as his daughter, but he was not a daughter after all.
She will be her daughter-in-law in the future, if such a thing happens, can he and Yu Qinling still look at her like before?
But this incident is not Lin Yansheng's fault, she is the victim, and her son has a deep affection for her, since his son has made the choice to accept everything, he and his wife can only support it, but they still feel surprised and awkward in their hearts.
He still has to spend a while to digest this matter, this is inevitable, after all, at his age, it is conservative for such a thing to suddenly happen around him, and he and Yu Qinling can't completely accept it at once.
Mu Yi followed behind his parents, silently listening to his parents' conversation, suddenly, his parents' figures froze, he didn't react for a while, and almost bumped into it.
Just as he was about to raise his head to say something, he heard Yu Qinling shout in surprise: "Yan Sheng, are you up?" Mu Yi was stunned, and hurriedly separated his parents and looked into the study, only to see Lin Yansheng standing at the door, looking at them with a pale face.
Her eyes looked gray, and there was a mixture of anger, resentment, and pain in her gaze.
Seeing Mu Yi, a subtle trace of resentment flashed on her face, and she suddenly pushed him away and ran past them towards the upper floor.
Mu Yukai and Yu Qinling looked at their son at a loss, not knowing what to say. Maybe they embarrassed her to find out?
They can understand that, too. Seeing Mu Yi anxiously following her footsteps and running upstairs, Yu Qinling turned her head to look at her husband, and the two shook their heads helplessly at the same time.
"Yan Sheng, Yan Sheng!" Mu Yi tried to hold her hand, but somehow, her strength suddenly became unusually strong, and he could barely pull it.
The two dragged each other into the room, and Lin Yansheng turned around and pushed him outside, wanting to isolate him outside.
Mu Yi stuffed his body into the door and said anxiously,
"Don't be angry!
"Listen to you?" Lin Yansheng looked at him angrily,
"Why are you telling your parents? Do you want them to treat me with sympathy? Do you think I'm pitiful now? My parents aren't there, and I'm living in your house under the fence, am I like a wanderer?" She was very excited, completely ignoring the image she usually maintained,
"Then move out now, this happened to me, I can also take responsibility for it myself, I don't need you to pity me!"
"No!" Mu Yi finally squeezed in the door, he closed the door, grabbed Lin Yansheng's shoulder, and tried to calm her down,
"We don't have pity for you! You will always be part of this family for me and my parents, we just want to negotiate a solution to the matter as soon as possible and send that scum to prison as soon as possible. Don't get me wrong, okay? Calm down, Yan Sheng, please. Lin Yansheng looked at him, she shook her head in despair, and said, "You will never understand me, Mu Yi, you will never understand what I am thinking in my heart, what I care about." Mu Yi looked at her at a loss, and said hurriedly: "Yan Sheng, don't think so, this matter will pass, everything will be fine, you cheer up." ”
"Am I a little more excited?" Lin Yansheng closed his eyes, swallowed the choked throat back into his stomach, sneered, and said,
"It's me who gets hurt, not you, not your parents, in your eyes, things will indeed pass, everything will indeed be fine, but in my eyes, it will always be a hurdle, it will always be there, it can't be overcome. ”
"It won't be like this, everything will pass, Yan Sheng, you believe me. Mu Yi held her tightly in his arms, and he was a little scared when he heard her words.
"What if you send him to prison. Lin Yansheng said in despair,
"Even if he gets hurt, I'm not the same person I used to be, I'm not clean, and even I hate myself now. I hated myself for believing in others so easily, why I felt that everyone in this world was a good person. She finally couldn't take it anymore and fell on his shoulder and began to whimper and cry.
Mu Yi's heart was about to break, and he hugged her tightly, trying to warm her cold heart with his own body heat.
If time could come back, he would definitely stay by her side and never leave, even if he sacrificed himself, he wouldn't let her be hurt in the slightest.
But it had come to this, and listening to her cries and her cries, he realized how hard it had hit her.
As an outsider, he really thought about this matter too simply.
"Let's go. Lin Yansheng pushed him away, turned around and said.
"I'm not leaving, I'm going to accompany you. Mu Yi hugged her from behind. Lin Yansheng broke free from him and said, "I want to be alone for a while." ”
"Yan Sheng. Mu Yi looked at her helplessly,
"Don't chase me away, okay?"
"I'm sorry, I can't agree to all your requests like I used to, I'm too busy to take care of myself. Lin Yansheng said, tears running down her cheeks, as if she wanted to drain all the water in her body.
"No, I'm not asking you to promise me, I just want to be with you, I'm afraid of you—I'm afraid—" Mu Yi said, he was vulnerable, and for the first time in two days, he showed emotions other than anger and pain.
Lin Yansheng stopped talking, and in the dark space, Mu Yi could only see her hazy and thin back.
The back was like a puff of smoke that would dissipate at any moment. He swallowed, his hands clenched into fists at his sides.
He was not afraid of Lin Yansheng crying or making trouble, if she cried, he would feel better in his heart, but when she was silent, he felt very scared.
He was most worried about this situation, which made him feel very insecure, as if he suddenly couldn't control the whole situation.
He stood behind Lin Yansheng for a long time, and Lin Yansheng was silent for a long time, when suddenly, her body moved, walked towards the bed, and lay down with her clothes closed.
Mu Yi walked over to tuck the quilt for her, and he sat down on the chair next to the bed, quietly looking at her in the dark.
In the afternoon, he watched Lin Yansheng fall asleep, and at that time, he didn't feel so scared as he did now.
Lin Yansheng closed her eyes, she didn't look at Mu Yi, nor did she feel him beside her. Her head was messy, but it seemed to have an independent thought.
The thoughts flowed uncontrollably in her head, as if to tell her what to do next.
It was her instinctive reaction, and it was a knee-jerk move when she really felt helpless. She wanted to protect herself, and the way she protected herself was to get herself away from it all.
She just lay with her eyes closed, motionless, as if she had fallen asleep, but her consciousness was very awake.
She hardly dared to fall asleep now, and when she fell asleep with that involuntary feeling, she remembered that she was not in control at that time.
She hated that feeling, she needed to be awake and she needed a quick brain that could react in time.
All this is what Mu Yi doesn't know, he hasn't experienced it, and of course he can't experience it. He can only understand everything he sees in his eyes and everything he hears in his ears.
When Lin Yansheng refused to communicate with him, he could only feel at a loss, but there was nothing he could do.
He sat for a long time and looked at her for a long time, but Lin Yansheng was motionless and seemed to have fallen asleep. Mu Yi put a hand on her shoulder, and although the movement was very light, he still felt her body tremble slightly.
He sighed and said in a low voice, "Yan Sheng, don't worry, I will let that beast get the punishment he deserves." Don't be afraid, I won't leave you no matter what. With that, he stood up and looked at her for a few more moments before turning and walking out.
In the dark, Lin Yansheng opened her eyes and stared blankly at the night outside the window, at this moment, she suddenly missed her parents very much.
Before dawn the next day, Mu Yi got up. In fact, he didn't sleep for a few hours, and kept thinking about things over and over again.
These days, all kinds of things are coming at him, and he can barely breathe. But at this time, he suddenly reined in his previous impulsive and irritable temperament and began to think carefully about things.
Especially in Lin Yansheng's matter, on the one hand, he has to convince himself, and on the other hand, he has to consider Lin Yansheng's psychological state and the process of the whole thing.
He has called the police, but the case has not yet been filed. In order to prevent Peng Zhan from biting himself because of that fight, he and Mu Yukai had entrusted this matter to Uncle Zheng, although the other party was a little hesitant, but he still agreed, which made Mu Yi's heart have a bottom.
But the most important thing today is not these, but Lin Yansheng. The most powerful evidence is in her, and asking for investigation and extracting evidence may once again uncover the scars in her heart, and Mu Yi is afraid that she will not be able to bear it.
That's what he thought about all night, at first, he thought she was strong enough, strong enough to be afraid of anything, this is what she always shows, but through last night, he suddenly discovered another side of her, she is fragile, strong is disguised, and he feels guilty that he only found out now.
No matter what, she was always hurt, and no matter how uncomfortable she felt about it, she had to force it.
Standing in the doorway, he hesitated slightly before raising his hand and knocking on the door. After waiting for a long time and no one came to open the door, Mu Yi couldn't help but feel strange.
He knocked twice more, and pressed his ear to the door to listen to the movement inside. Quietly, unable to hear anything, he suddenly became uneasy, raised his hand and pushed the door open roughly, turned on the light in the room, and in the warm light, the bed in the center of the room was empty, no one slept on it, and the small objects and books on the tables around him were gone.
Mu Yi reacted, he walked around the room quickly, and found no one in the bathroom, but saw that the wardrobe was empty, as long as Lin Yansheng's clothes were gone.
He turned and ran downstairs, not caring if the sound of running would wake his parents. Pushing open the door, a wet and sober air rushed to his face, and he could only vaguely see hazy things when he opened his eyes wide, Mu Yi didn't even drive the car, running on the aisle, gradually, he saw a person walking in front of him, dragging a suitcase in his hand, and his pace was tired and slow.
He was overjoyed, and his heart suddenly relaxed, and he quickened his pace and ran forward.
"Yan Sheng!" he rushed forward and grabbed the man's arm. Lin Yansheng was taken aback, she turned her head and saw that it was Mu Yi, her expression suddenly darkened, she stopped, lowered her head and didn't look at him.
"Where are you going?" Mu Yi asked anxiously, trying to make out the expression on her face in the dark, but couldn't see anything clearly.
"Go home. Lin Yan said sullenly, her voice was very soft, and if you didn't listen carefully, you couldn't hear what she was saying.
"Isn't this your home?" Mu Yi said.
"The house you rented has also been refunded, where are you going back?"
"Back to my own house. Lin Yansheng said, pushed his hand away, turned around and continued to walk forward.
"Yan Sheng. Mu Yi grabbed her arm again and said as if begging,
"Don't you do this, okay? I'm so worried and scared like this, I regret it, why would I leave you alone?"
"That's not your fault. Lin Yansheng finally raised her head, she looked at Mu Yi, her eyes were full of pity,
"It's not my fault, we don't have to blame ourselves for this. ”
"Then why are you leaving?" Mu Yi said, he didn't understand. Lin Yansheng shook her head, she smiled bitterly, and said, "I just want to go home." ”
"Uncle and aunt are not here, who will take care of you when you go back?" Mu Yi said,
"If you're worried about my parents, don't worry, I'll tell my parents when I go back—"
"Mu Yi. Lin Yansheng interrupted him,
"Thank you, but I really want to go home. ”
"Yan Sheng, if you want to go home, will you go back when your uncle and aunt come back?" Mu Yi reached out and wanted to take the suitcase in her hand,
"Otherwise, my parents and I will be very worried, not to mention, they entrusted you to us before leaving, if you just go back like this, if something happens, can your uncle and aunt rest assured?" He knew that Lin Yansheng had always been smart and rational, and would never make any impulsive moves, and when he said this, he also hoped that Lin Yansheng could think about it calmly and not be reckless alone.
