Chapter 41, the truth in the dust

"There is such a thing......" Shui Yin listened to it from beginning to end, and it was not a strange feeling.

"The clutter under the stairs was all left by Inakura before she died, including the last group photo of the three of us." Yu Xia sighed with relief.

"I now see why you didn't let me touch those things...... Although I still touched it...... I'm sorry......" Mizune understood Yu Xia's feelings, and no one wanted to mention that painful past again.

"It's okay, let it pass." Haxia patted her on the head.

"When we get back to Hailing Town, you can accompany me to see her." Shui Yin wanted to visit this friend who had no bond with her, but knew each other as well.

Yu Xia nodded, he understood that he shouldn't have hated anyone from the beginning, since Inazakura was happy when she left, without a trace of resentment, then why should he be obsessed with these. Standing now and looking back, I was just a child's temper at that time.

"The temperature seems to be dropping, let's go back." Yu Xia said for a long time.

When they returned to the terrace from the rooftop, they saw a man sitting at the dining table.

"Oh? It's you. Zaoming was pouring himself a drink from the fireworks outside, and the fog lying next to him had already fallen asleep. Zao Ming heard footsteps on the stairs and looked back.

"Hello uncle." Shui Yin nodded and said hello, she could see that there was something wrong with Zaoming's state, but she couldn't say it clearly.

"Why did you come?" After Yu Xia and Shui Yin took their seats, he picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Shui Yin and himself.

"When the company is re-registered, a lot of profits can't go into the company's accounts." Zaoming briefly talked about the company's current situation.

"Drunk again?" Zao Ming pointed to the sleeping fog with his eyes and asked Yu Xia.

"It's almost time to tear down the roof." Yu Xia sneered twice.

"There's a guest room downstairs, so if you're tired, go to bed early." Zao Ming glanced at his watch, ten minutes and eleven o'clock. "It's just a little noisy." Zao Ming had something in his heart, he didn't speak, he just ate and drank hard.

"Ah, my phone fell on the roof, I'll go get it." Shui Yin smiled and secretly pulled the corner of Yu Xia's clothes. The water sound movement was very small, and Zao Ming didn't notice it.

"It's too dark up there, I'll go with you." Yu Xia reacted quickly, he used his spare eyes to observe Zao Ming, who was drinking sullen wine alone and didn't care.

The two of them went up to the roof one after the other, Yu Xia was very curious, Shui Yin's mobile phone was obviously on his body, what did he have to avoid Zao Ming?

Seeing that Yu Xia was following, Shui Yin quickly pulled him aside, and then looked behind him carefully, and after making sure that no one was following, he moved his gaze back to Yu Xia.

Yu Xia asked first: "What is the name?" ”

"Don't you think Uncle is a little weird?" Mizuin asked.

"Hmm. It's like there's something on your mind. Yu Xia thought to herself, Zao Ming was exposed to so much information every day, and it was too normal for him to have a little bit of heart.

"It wasn't like this before the party." Shui Yin recalled.

"Hmm......" Yu Xia felt that Shui Yin made sense, and when he was just soaking in the hot spring, Zao Ming was still talking and laughing.

"You go back and talk to him later, I'll avoid it, so that the uncle can speak." Shui Yin knew that Yu Xia would refuse, so she pretended to be cute, and Yu Xia had no choice but to agree.

When people grow up, they will naturally have estrangement from their parents, and some things they can't say to their parents, but they can say it to their lovers and friends. When the child sees that the adult is upset, he directly asks the last sentence "What's wrong", and the adult just doesn't tell the truth to the child, and the matter will be solved. But at Yuxia's age, it is difficult to speak, because he understands that not everything can be solved by telling others. Therefore, Yu Xia didn't want to interfere with Zaoming's inner world, not to mention that it had been three years since he had been separated in the past.

"And where are you going?" Yuxia asked her.

"I'll go back to the house and tidy up first, and when we're done, you'll come downstairs to find me." After Shui Yin finished speaking, he kissed him lightly and went downstairs first.

Yu Xia had no choice but to pretend to have nothing to do and return to the terrace restaurant. Zao Ming was standing by the fence at the moment, looking at the distant scenery and relaxing. Yu Xia slowly approached him from behind him, and he looked at Zao Ming's lonely back, and remembered himself who used to stand in front of the window on the second floor.

"Why didn't you come back together?" Zao Ming asked.

Yu Xia also crouched on the fence and looked at the sky, "She's tired, go back and rest first." ”

"Oh......" Zaoming nodded, reached into his pocket and took out a box of cigarettes, gently knocked one out and put it in his mouth, and took out a lighter to light it.

"The first time I've seen you smoke." Yu Xia said.

"I started sucking before I met Huangyi, and then I got pregnant with you, and Wing asked me to quit, and I haven't smoked it since."

"Then why did you get back to your old business today?"

"Twenty years ago today, Tsubasa and I went on our first date here." Zaomin didn't answer the question directly, but Yu Xia already knew the answer.

Yu Xia didn't say anything, in his memory, his mother was just an image in a photo.

Zao Ming took a deep puff of cigarette and slowly exhaled it. "Your mother was forced to leave Warm Wind Mountain."

"Forced?" Yu Xia couldn't understand, he remembered that the two of them were going their separate ways.

"It happened when you were three years old, and there was a political scandal in the country of Kohl in the early summer of that year." Zao Ming extinguished the cigarette butt and said slowly. "At that time, Muchen Shipping Company was still a small company, I was busy running it, and your mother was busy acting in various shows. Tsubashi's family is very good, his father is the former chairman of the Senate of Cole, his political status is second to none, and his mother is the daughter of a consortium, and the two are a good match. Tsubasa and I each worked hard for our ideals, we both enjoyed it, and the homely separation did not dilute our love. She loves you very much, you used to have a very bad lung fever when you were young, it was a winter night, and the nanny found out and immediately informed me and your mother. It was Tsubasa's awards ceremony, and she turned around and rushed out of the venue after receiving the call, and arrived at the hospital in less than 15 minutes. When I arrived at the ward, I saw you sleeping soundly in bed, and you were sitting on the edge of the bed, your face pale. I know your mother is terrified, and I comfort her while explaining it to the agent. You're discharged from the hospital a day later, but Tsubasa hasn't been to a big show since, and he's with you at least six days a week. After Zao Ming finished speaking, he lit another cigarette and put it in his mouth.

Zaimaki continued: "That year, I collaborated on a project with a trading company called Yamaku, and in order to ensure financial transparency, the accounts of both companies were shared. However, when I checked the accounts, I found that there was an inconspicuous problem in Shankong's capital input account, which was stamped by a foreign private bank, but the funds were provided by a domestic consortium. ”

"Tax evasion?" Yu Xia asked.

"It's not just tax evasion, I privately sent someone to check the private bank abroad, and found that the bank was actually an underground bank, and the money was put on a bill in this bank, and it became foreign funds. So, someone in the Shankong Group is using this method to launder money. Zaoming coughed lightly.

"At that time, I was also afraid of getting angry, so I collected this evidence and handed it over to the prosecution department in private."

"And then."

"Then...... "Zaonaki choked up," Tsubasaki's father was named as the first suspect, and the facts of the crime were confirmed a week later. ”

"What?" Yu Xia never expected the plot to be like this.

"That night Yi learned the bad news, crying and shouting to go to prison, how could I let her go, I dragged her desperately, she turned around and punched me, not like venting, more like a plea......" Zao Ming didn't want to continue, his heart was like a knife at this time.

"They fled?" Yu Xia was overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information.

"Only the Imperial Wing fled, and the rest were never heard from again." Zao Ming rubbed his face vigorously to cheer himself up. "I took her on the company ship that night and drove to Mai Gousti overnight, and that was the last time I saw her." There was a kind of tortured vicissitudes in Zao Ming's eyes.

"I did a lot of things wrong to end up in the end. But where to start changing it......" Zaoming said distressing.

"There's nothing wrong with that, is it?" Yu Xia seemed to have poured a mouthful of vinegar, sour to the crack of his heart.

"Who knows...... Zaoming turned around and walked to the dining table, "If this matter is pressed in my heart, no one will know about it anymore, after all, it is a sensational scandal." Zao Ming recalled that he was regarded as a big hero by the media at that time, and made all kinds of headlines, and his heart was mixed.

Yu Xia couldn't answer anything, and Zao Ming didn't expect Yu Xia to express any opinions. Yu Xia wanted to worry about Zaoming, but his mood plummeted.

"I'm quiet, you go and rest, Shui Yin is a good girl, you have to cherish her." Zao Ming poured a full bottle of wine and drank it all again.

Yu Xia also knew that it was useless to say more, nodded and left.

Walking down the stairs to the first floor, Yuxia asked the waiter and learned that the room was in the innermost part on the east side. Pushing open the door, Shui Yin was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, dizzying to watch the fireworks in all directions. Yu Xia looked at the back, and her chaotic heart gradually calmed down. Mizune heard the sound of the door closing and footsteps getting closer and closer from behind, and then felt Ha Natsu hugging her from behind. Shui Yin twisted his face sideways and asked him, "Is it going well?" "Hmm." Yu Xia's chin rested on the top of Shui Yin's head and replied gently.

Not far from the window, on a telephone pole, there is a poster of the fireworks show.

When Yu Xia saw the poster, she suddenly thought of a big thing.

"Follow me." Yu Xia pulled her out without saying a word, and Shui Yin followed his footsteps and reached out to close the door. "Where are you going?" Yu Xia didn't answer, and quickened his pace.

The two walked all the way to the beach in front of the villa, which was still crowded with people just now, but now it is almost scattered. "Wait for me here." Yu Xia said and turned around and ran towards the fireworks shop, Shui Yin guessed that he might be going to buy fireworks, and said in his heart, he was really childlike!

Wait a moment for Yu Xia to come back, still holding two electric light flowers in her hands. "Here's what you're given." Yu Xia handed her the fireworks like a baby.

The two squatted on the cool beach, and Yu Xia said: "Do you know, on the night the company was cancelled, I walked to the staff dormitory alone, and I saw the poster of the fireworks party on the way. I had only two dollars left in my body, and I clutched them and swore to myself that if the time came, I would have a great fireworks feast for you. The fireworks that night were bought by the butlers to give you a taste of a fireworks show that wasn't real. Now it's time to work, but my mind has changed. I think it's better to bring you comfort than to surprise you. Dazzling fireworks are good, but monumental fireworks are better for you. So I used these two dollars to buy two fireworks, thank you for accompanying me and improving my life. Happy holidays, dear. Yu Xia kept looking down at the fireworks in his hand, and didn't look up at the sound of water. If he could take advantage of the faint glow of the fireworks, he would see tears rolling down the corners of Mizune's eyes.

The words fell, and the fireworks in his hand also burned out, and Yu Xia heard a sobbing sound slightly. "Water sound?" Yu Xia looked at her, but the light was too dim, and she didn't know what Shui Yin was doing.

Shui Yin hugged him sideways and said in a choked voice, "Do you know how hard I held back my tears just now......"

Haxia stroked her gently, like a kitten.

"Do you know how rational I have to be every time I see you......" Yu Xia said in her ear.

"Perverted landlord......" Shui Yin burst into laughter.

"Let's go home with the landlord."

"Hmm."
