Chapter 1217: The Man Who Left
"Yafu, thank you!" Tang Xiaolian didn't hear Qin Yafu's response, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, she seemed to be aware of some kind of unclear hint hidden in her words, after all, last night people were kind enough to help her persuade and accompany her mother-in-law, but today, there is a suspicion of unloading the mill and killing the donkey.
Sure enough, Qin Yafu could guess some of Tang Xiaolian's thoughts, especially when she was anxious now, and directly stated her position: "Sister Xiaolian, don't be polite, I'll rest assured that Aunt Lan is fine, it just so happens that I have some things to deal with these days, and I probably don't have much time to visit her, if you have anything, let's call her." ”
"This ...... I'm sorry to delay you so late last night. Tang Xiaolian had something she didn't feel comfortable about, and her tone of speech was inevitably more awkward.
"It's nothing, Sister Xiaolian thinks too much, Aunt Lan deserves my respect like my biological mother, I hope she has the same heart as you do," Qin Yafu said softly, "Everything that used to be is long gone, and only by firmly grasping what you have at hand is worthy of the efforts you made before, what do you say?"
Qin Yafu doesn't know what her words represent, it should be said that she just sighed for a while, think about Li Lei who is about to lose her happiness in the house, so Tang Xiaolian still has her mother-in-law and husband by her side, why bother to feel sorry for herself? When you can cherish it, cherish it well, it is better to wait until the day of loss, and leave a sad feeling, right?
After talking to Tang Xiaolian on the phone, Zheng Hao had already walked away, and Qin Yafu didn't have to pay attention to it anymore, just stood where she was, took a deep breath, pulled the corners of her mouth, walked in with a smile as much as possible, and closed the door casually.
When she came to the bedroom, Qin Yafu saw Li Lei lying on the bed with a calm face, staring ahead indifferently, her hands on her already bulging belly, she was more than six months pregnant, if she didn't know, she could clearly feel the soft maternal brilliance emanating from her body from a distance.
No matter at any time, pregnant women are worthy of respect and care, I believe that even if Zheng Hao and Li Lei don't know each other, they should not be able to bear to let them fend for themselves, but if that's the case, it should be a female policeman standing in front of Li Lei at this time, and what the female policeman has to do is to temporarily stabilize Li Lei's disordered mood, as for the future road, no one can always manage it.
Qin Yafu shook her head, waved away the inexplicable thoughts in her mind, walked to the edge of the bed with a smile and sat down, took Li Lei's hand, and said softly: "Li Lei, how do you feel now?"
Li Lei's gaze slowly shifted from the opposite wall to Qin Yafu's hand holding her, she seemed to be infected by the sudden temperature there, and finally moved to Qin Yafu's face inch by inch.
Qin Yafu stared at Li Lei nervously, not knowing what this kid's plan was.
The dark and bright eyes, which were not bright at the moment, just looked straight over.
"Li Lei," Qin Yafu's heart was sour, and she raised her hand to stroke Li Lei's cheek, "Don't scare me, okay?"
"Why should I scare you?" As soon as Li Lei's words came out, her hoarse voice startled herself and Qin Yafu.
"Ahem......" Li Lei was also very surprised, and it was inevitable to clear her throat hard.
Qin Yafu caught a glimpse of the thermos cup on the bedside table, hurriedly let go of Li Lei, walked over, and took the cup.
When you open the lid of the cup, you can see that there are several jujube slices floating on the water.
Qin Yafu handed over the cup.
After Li Lei received it, she looked down at the water in the cup, but did not put it to her mouth.
"Isn't it cold? I'll get you some hot water." Qin Yafu didn't pay attention to the temperature of the water just now, and only when she saw that Li Lei refused to drink it, she remembered her negligence.
"No, it's still hot. Li Lei opened her mouth softly, relieved her emotions, her voice was not so uncomfortable, and her voice was much more normal, but her face was still miserable, and her eyes did not take her eyes off, this kind of blow, let alone a pregnant woman, even a healthy person can hardly bear it.
Imagine, who can stand the blow of the pillow person who usually gets along well and loves each other as a criminal suspect suddenly being taken away?
"Then you should drink some first, moisten your throat. Qin Yafu didn't know what to say for a while, there was a big stone in her heart, and both of them were very uncomfortable.
"I don't want to drink it, because this is probably the last time Uncle You cooked jujube water for me......" Li Lei's hand holding the water cup trembled slightly, the more she looked at the water in front of her, the more sad she became, and she endured it for a long time, and finally said with trembling lips, "Uncle You knows that I don't like to drink boiled water, and I heard others say that jujube has the effect of nourishing blood and calming the nerves, so the first thing he does when he gets up every morning is to cut the jujube soaked the day before into slices, and then put it in the pot to fry, after frying, add water and boil......
As long as he was at home, he never fell a day...... Sister Fu, do you think my complexion has always been very good?"
"Yes, yes, that's good. Qin Yafu heard that her nose was so sore that she couldn't hold it anymore, the man who loves his wife in the world will do everything possible to follow her preferences and do his best to take care of her, the man who looks even a little rough in the eyes of everyone is obviously a good husband with deep affection.
It's just a pity that two people who love each other have a pitiful time together......
"You say, how could such a good friend uncle kill someone?" Li Lei's originally raised mouth suddenly tightened, lowered her head, and gently pressed the water cup she was holding in both hands to her chest, her expression was sad, and her eyes were full of doubts when she looked at Qin Yafu.
"He, he, he's just going back to help with the investigation, the specific situation is not necessarily what it is, don't think about it. Qin Yafu couldn't answer this question, so she could only rely on her own guesses to persuade her.
"Hmph, flies don't bite seamless eggs, Sister Fu, why do you use this to coax me?" Li Lei's face was obviously gloomy, and her mood changed a little, like a wayward child.
"But there are also people who say that there is a lot of money," Qin Yafu tried to maintain a calm attitude to speak, "There are some things, if you don't investigate to the end, who knows who is right and which is wrong?
"What else is needed? Old cases from many years ago...... Oh yes, Sister Fu, in fact, from the first time you saw him, you knew that his identity was not simple, right?" Li Lei raised her head, her mocking eyes made people's hearts cold, how disappointed she was.
"Yes and no, because I don't know him very well......"
"I don't understand, if I don't understand, I know better than me, right?" Li Lei blinked her eyes quickly, very strange, even though she was so sad, but there was still not a single tear in her eyes, this feeling made her even more uncomfortable, she interrupted Qin Yafu's careful wording, and sneered, "I was stupid at the beginning, I plunged into it, no matter how I persuaded Sister Yanzi, I couldn't understand it, speaking of which, everything is not my fault......"
"What are you talking about, why are you to blame? You love each other so much, he treats you from the bottom of his heart......"
"What if it comes from the bottom of my heart? no matter how beautiful love is, it can't withstand such a cruel consumption in reality, not to mention, what about a marriage that no one has blessed in the first place?" Li Lei's expression was numb, and her heart was confused.
"Li Lei, what are you doing here? Tell me, are you regretting it now?" Qin Yafu thought about it, she knew that she was full of sympathy and understanding for Li Lei, but these thoughts alone could not dissolve the depression in her heart, so she had to change her thinking.
"I don't regret it, there's nothing to regret, the road is my own walk, the blisters on my feet are grinded out by myself, why should I regret it?" Li Lei said coldly, she retracted her gaze, and looked at the water cup in her hand again, this time she no longer hesitated, picked up the cup, grunted, poured a big sip, the slightly sweet familiar taste in her mouth made her more and more painful, she didn't dare to imagine, there would be no one to fry jujube for her in the future, would she still taste the sweet and sour?
"No, Li Lei, it has nothing to do with not regretting it in the future......"
"Why doesn't it matter? Oh yes, I can't be too cold, he just was taken away on suspicion of murder, why did I start to regret it? I think at the beginning, but I begged to marry him for nothing, including himself, they were all reluctant, and I forced them to go to Liangshan, where can I complain about others?"
Li Lei's expression became more and more calm, not like the simple girl who was chattering in the past, the indifference in her eyes seemed to be, as if she was detached from death, just the fingers holding the cup, the knuckles were white, and they were tightly attached to the cup, as if they had grown on it from the beginning.
"Li Lei, don't scare me, if you want to cry, you can cry out loud, you, you can't ......"
"Why should I cry, like those shrews, sitting on the ground and crying, and then let everyone see my jokes?" Li Lei smiled sadly, but it was still a trace of emotion for Qin Yafu to see.
"Of course there's no need, the Li Lei I know has always been beautiful," Qin Yafu tried to squeeze out a smile, her heart was complicated, the child pretended to be strong on the surface, but the stiff fingers still betrayed the fear in her heart, she held her hand tightly attached to the cup, and said softly, "Li Lei, think more about the child in her belly......"
"Child, do you think he or she still needs to exist, and before he or she is born, he already bears the notoriety of a murderer's child?" Li Lei blinked quickly, not letting the water vapor evaporate.
"Li Lei, you, you...... You ...... such a hard-working child."
"If something happens to him, everyone will come to persuade me, Sister Fu, tell me from the heart, do you still want him (her) to be born?" Li Lei suddenly asked, her thoughts changed very quickly, and the questions she thought about were also very far-reaching.
"I, I don't know. Qin Yafu was speechless for a while.
