Chapter 204: The Girl in Memories
Lin Yue asked me if my departure was related to recalling Chu Mingmin's death, and he said that he had a lot of speculations about the truth, and there was only one possibility, which would cause me to not be able to face the current situation and choose to escape.
When Lin Yue mentioned my mother, he didn't mean contempt in his tone, he only asked me if Chu Mingmin's death was related to my mother, but he didn't use the word "harm".
I don't know how to explain the part of Chu Mingmin, although the memory of that part of Chu Mingmin has gradually recovered, but maybe it has been buried for too long, and the memory is always fragmented, maybe, it is still instinct, Chu Mingmin's death seems to have become my biggest and most ineligible wound to heal.
Over the years, no one has mentioned Chu Mingmin to me, she has slept in my memory for so long, I almost really have to forget what kind of child she is, what happened between us, and how much I liked her back then.
Lin Yue's ability to gather intelligence is very much in line with his style.
In the investigation of Chu Mingmin's drowning incident, some clues involving my mother did not escape his eyes, and the documents he found me that were not entrusted by me were basically about Chu Mingmin.
In the document, there is also a photo of Chu Mingmin.
That face, long gone, but familiar.
Like her in memory, she is pure and quiet, and she is a child with melancholy eyes.
I asked Lin Yue, "You can still find her photo?"
"It's not just photos. Lin Yue said.
Things that should have been known to the world but were deliberately covered up by others are in the information that Lin Yue gave me. It's all there.
On the day of Chu Mingmin's accident, I did see my mother, in the guard room that day. There are records of my mother's entry and exit from the campus, and there are even testimonies from students who prove that my mother has been to the classroom and talked to Chu Mingmin.
Lin Yue found out about this, and it was impossible for the police at that time not to find out, but my mother never received any police interrogation.
That time. I didn't have much time and space to grieve about Chu Mingmin's death, and everyone in the school knew that I was with Chu Mingmin. It just so happened that during that time, Chu Mingmin proposed to break up with me, Chu Mingmin drowned in the school area, and almost everyone in the whole school knew about it. Most of my classmates felt that Chu Mingmin chose to commit suicide because of discord with me. Some people even believe that I am the murderer of her.
So, most of the time I was in and out of the police station, being questioned by the police, and at that time, I was more scared, guilty, and overwhelmed.
It was the first time in my life that I faced death. Until then, I never knew the true meaning of death. At the beginning of the incident, I realized that it was not the person I liked who had left the world and left me, at first, what I only felt was the loss of a life.
The police told me that Chu Mingmin was holding the buttons on my clothes in her hands, saying that they were buttons on my uniform.
And on my uniform, there was just one missing.
I thought this would be ironclad evidence, I almost thought that I had a split personality, and without knowing it, I really killed Chu Mingmin.
But I also knew that for whatever reason, I wouldn't do that, it was impossible.
Then, the investigation also came to an abrupt end, because of insufficient evidence, Chu Mingmin's death, and the conclusion was that it was an accident.
Lin Yue and I were sitting in his office, on the coffee table, the coffee sent by his secretary Lou Yan was still steaming, Lin Yue crossed his legs, talking to me with a pair of pairs, and when I was silent, he seemed to be meditating on something.
After a long silence, Lin Yue asked me: "You better tell me, although the lawsuit is over now, but I'm really curious, what is the truth, if Chu Mingmin's death is really related to your mother, then are you sure, this will not be a disaster for Lu Xiaochao?"
My thoughts, also because of Lin Yue's words, went back and forth between reality and memory.
"My uncle once came to my mother, and that day, they had a lot of quarrels, and the part I heard was that my uncle asked my mother loudly if Chu Mingmin's death was related to her,...... My mother said, that's Chu Mingmin, damn it. β
On that day, I finally got permission to see Chu Mingmin for the last time and attend her funeral.
However, I heard the conversation between my uncle and my mother, and the meaning of the words was clear, Chu Mingmin had an accident because of my mother, in other words, Chu Mingmin really died because of me.
I just missed her funeral.
Since her accident, I haven't even seen her last in this world.
At that time, I really felt that I had really lost Chu Mingmin, the girl who used to really exist in my life, was really gone, the whole world had not changed, everyone had not changed, except for the poor child, and I was not even qualified to remember.
I didn't know before, the separation without a good goodbye is the regret and pain that will always be hidden in the bone marrow, and it can't be washed away.
After that day, breathing was a late breath for me.
In my diary, I confessed to Chu Mingmin countless times, but I didn't have the courage to question my mother.
That year, I was about 15 years old, and God used Chu Mingmin's death to subvert the world I originally believed in; my mother was all to me, my whole world, but my whole world could not accommodate a single Chu Mingmin, and then ruined her young and fresh life.
"I heard that you tried to commit suicide at that time," Lin Yue said, put down the coffee cup in his hand, looked at me and said, "I think this incident may indeed be fatal to you at that time, after all, you were just a teenager at that time." β
I sighed, the suicide of the year and the escape this time are almost the same purpose, "I used to think that if I died and my mother lost me, maybe I would be able to understand the pain of Chu Mingmin's parents losing their children, maybe, she would regret what she had done and give Chu Mingmin an explanation, but as far as I know, she is different from what I think." β
"Perhaps, she doesn't think she is responsible for Chu Mingmin's death," Lin Yue said lightly, and then asked me again, "It is said that you also left a suicide note." β
ββ¦β¦ There is no suicide note, I think, what everyone thinks is just one of the items in my diary. β
Lin Yue nodded, flipped through the information on the coffee table, and then asked me, "Then what are you going to do?"
I shook my head, "I don't know, to be honest, if it weren't for my grandmother's death, I wouldn't have any plans to come back for the time being, and so far, I'm still at a loss except for one thing I've figured out." β
"What's the matter?"
I think Lin Yue should have asked knowingly, he looked casual, but his eyes still betrayed her.
"I don't want to be separated from her anymore. I said.
Lin Yue was silent for a long time, after that, he put down the information in his hand, sat up straight, he picked up his coffee cup, looked me squarely and said, "Then don't separate," said him, the corners of his mouth raised a conceited smile, " I don't want to lie to you that I've already sorted it out, although I don't need your permission to let go of Lu Xiaochao in my heart, but, for the sake of my physical and mental health, I won't get involved between you anymore, so you'd better not have the ghost idea of throwing her to any man to take care of, if you abandon Lu Xiaochao, she can still return to me, don't even think about it. β
"You too, you can't be together in this life, in the next life, I have to meet Lu Xiaochao's longing first, it's best not to have it, even if it's Lu Xiaochao's ethereal afterlife, I don't plan to let it out. β
Lin Yue raised his eyebrows, and the coffee cup touched mine, "Childish." β
I smiled and took a sip of my coffee.
It's quite naΓ―ve.
"But Lin Yue, before I came, Lu Xiaochao asked me for instructions and said that I wanted to find a day to make an appointment with you," the coffee bottomed out, and the last thing I wanted to convey was that I had to speak.
Lin Yue was stunned for a moment, and then showed a wry smile, "Dating?
I was naturally happy to see his reaction, and immediately said, "Since you don't want to, I'll reject Lu Xiaochao for you." β
I stood up, and Lin Yue also got up: "I'll make an appointment with her myself." β
Dating, dating!
Why did the two of them do this kind of thing right under my nose, and my real boyfriend had to be generous?
Lin Yue saw that I was unhappy, and I was not ambiguous, so I hurriedly teased: "If Lu Xiaochao were my woman, I wouldn't agree to this kind of thing that hurts a man's self-esteem, and it's just you, everything is up to her, I said you, that is, a wife who is strict in the late stage." β
"Yes, I'm also thinking, I spoil Lu Xiaochao to be lawless, except for me, see which man will covet her. I laughed a few times, looking at Lin Yue's blackened face, it was very refreshing.
Leaving the Lin family, according to the agreement, I planned to drive to Xiao Sa's apartment to find Lu Xiaochao, Lu Xiaochao's original apartment also returned, and moved out of my hotel apartment, saying that he put all his luggage in Xiao Sa's apartment, and even spent the night in Xiao Sa's apartment last time.
In Lu Xiaochao's words, with her friendship with Xiao Sa, even if she sleeps in the same bed, there is nothing to pursue.
This girl probably doesn't know much about the nature of men, she should be Xiao Sa is Liu Xia Hui, she can sit still and not mess up.
However, when the car passed by the coffee shop next to their community, he unexpectedly saw Lu Xiaochao and two other people who could not appear in the same picture at the same time.
My dad, and my mom.
Lu Xiaochao sat across from them, and both sides seemed to be silent and didn't speak.
Lu Xiaochao sent me a text message more than ten minutes ago, but he didn't tell me that she came to see them.
I parked my car on the side of the road and went into the coffee house.
Before the oncoming waiter could say welcome, I stopped him, and I sat down next to them across a bookshelf and gestured to the waiter away.
As soon as I sat down, I heard my mother say, "What do you think you can do to help Xingxing, you will only drag him down, you can't even take care of yourself, if I wasn't afraid that Xingxing would have an accident, how could I agree to let you stay with him?"
After a pause, my mom said, "Besides, you also promised that you would stay with him until the lawsuit is over, and now that the lawsuit is over, should you keep your promise?" )
