Chapter 97: Extortion
When I left Fu Yeqing, it was raining heavily outside, and the big umbrella in my hand couldn't stop the heavy rain, but fortunately it was only a few dozen meters away, and it was nothing to go back quickly with a limp.
The bright street lamps illuminated that short section of the road, and the water flowed on the road, bright and shining, so bright, but I felt that it was dark, and the road was pitch black with no end in sight.
When Sister-in-law Liu saw me coming back from outside, she hurriedly came over, helped me in, and brought me a towel: "Miss Chu, it's raining so hard outside, when did you go out, you see that this body is wet, quickly take a towel and wipe it, Sister-in-law Liu will cook you some ginger soup." ”
"Sister-in-law Liu, don't be busy, it's okay." I took the towel in Sister-in-law Liu's hand, and when I wiped my hair and clothes, I realized that my face was also wet, but it was salty, but Sister-in-law Liu didn't see any clues, so I quickly wiped my face and asked, "Sister-in-law Liu, is Mr. back?" ”
"Not yet."
I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, fortunately Simu didn't come back, I said, "Sister-in-law Liu, don't tell my husband about my going out just now, so as not to worry him." ”
Sister-in-law Liu said: "Sister-in-law Liu knows, it's just Miss Chu, you hurry upstairs and change into clean clothes, otherwise you will catch a cold and suffer." ”
I smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister-in-law Liu, I'll go up and change my clothes, and you should go to rest early." ”
The weather was very cold, and Sister-in-law Liu sent me back to my room before going back to my room to rest.
Back in the room, I looked at the balcony opposite, the lights over there were all out, in fact, when I came out, I knew that Fu Yeqing had been standing on the balcony, and now although there was no light, I also knew that he was still standing there.
My heart was cold, I walked over and turned off the lights, changed my clothes and wrapped myself in the quilt, and lay down for about an hour, my door was pushed open, it was Simu, he stood by the bed for a while, tucked the corner of the quilt for me and went out.
After Lin Xiuwen was buried, Lin Xi called me to ask me out, this appointment, I hesitated for a while before going, I don't want to see Lin Xi, even if she is my relative, I don't think there is anything to say to her.
Fu Yeqing deliberately gave Lin Xi a long vacation, she could go to work whenever she wanted, but the place where she made an appointment with me was very coincidentally opposite Fu Yeqing's company, that is, the place where Shen Yingrong asked me at the beginning.
When I arrived, she was sitting on a bench in the square, looking at all the people in the square, dressed in black, and the warm winter sun hit her, and people couldn't feel the warmth.
I got out of the car, and I was able to walk normally, and I walked up to her, and she looked up at me and said, "Come sit here with me." ”
I pursed my lips and sat down beside her, and for a moment neither of us spoke, leaning back in our chairs, watching the people come and go.
She called me here, always talking, I just sat and waited for her to speak, about five minutes later, she looked sideways at me and said: "Chu An, I think it's better to call you like this, call you Miss Chu, it seems too strange, we should be the closest people, I apologize to you for the impulse in the hospital that day, my mother has been suffering from illness for so many years, since Chu Licheng left, she has no will to live, that man, spent all her youth, she used all her thoughts, suffered all the grievances and forbearance, I once asked my mother, why do you want to follow Chu Licheng, just find a man on the road is better than Chu Licheng, why do you suffer yourself, she replied to me at the time, I am still young, I don't understand, I will know when I meet it, and then I met ......"
Speaking of this, her voice was a little choked, she remembered her previous entanglement with Tang Qian.
Today, I am destined to become the object of Lin Xi's confiding, so I will sit honestly and listen to her.
After a pause, she said: "My mother is someone else's junior, and I am also someone else's junior, which makes people feel really ridiculous, but this is our choice, but I don't want to end up like my mother, although ending her life may be a relief for her, but she left the pain to those of us who are alive, I know that my mother saw you on her deathbed for Chu Licheng, she never wanted to believe that Chu Licheng committed suicide by jumping off the building, she loved Chu Licheng and fell crazy, on the day Chu Licheng jumped off the building, she told me, It was your mother who killed Chu Licheng. ”
When I heard this, I immediately retorted, "It's impossible. ”
"That's why I said she was crazy." Lin Xi glanced at me, chuckled and said, "She also muttered to herself, saying that she killed Chu Licheng herself, I know that you have been investigating the cause of Chu Licheng's death, and you don't believe it like my mother." ”
I didn't quite understand what Lin Xi was trying to say, so I frowned and said, "Then you believe it?" ”
Lin Xi is a mouthful, colder than a stranger, she really doesn't have a father-daughter relationship with my father.
"I don't care how he died, and besides, so many years have passed, so why bother not to be at peace for a living person who is stirred up by a dead man."
I reminded him sharply, "The dead man in your mouth, he is your father." ”
I can accept what Lin Xi calls my dad, but I don't allow her to have contempt in her tone.
"Is he worthy to be a father?" Lin Xi sneered and said, "Don't you hate him? When you knew that Chu Licheng was unfaithful to your mother, you didn't hate it? In this case, why did you come to me to make trouble in the first place, Chu An, if I were you, I would never let myself suffer because of a dead person, and torture people alive, why torture living people when I die? What does he think he is? Who are you doing with such a posture that you can't let go of and can't take up? Why not be casual? ”
I was stunned for a moment, then pursed my lips and said, "Are you looking for recognition from me?" How you live, how I live, it doesn't matter, listen to your meaning, you don't want me to continue to investigate, you want him to die unclear, but I can't, he betrayed my mother, but I can't forget the kindness of more than 20 years of nurturing. ”
My words made Lin Xi angry and blurted out: "What is he dead is not clear, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, if you are not greedy and don't ask for anything, why do you have to come to that point." ”
With a twist of my heart, I stared at Lin Xi: "Do you know anything?" ”
"I know, don't you know."
With a sigh in my heart, from Lin Xi's words, I knew that Lin Xi also knew the grievances of the previous generation.
I was speechless, indeed, the human heart is not enough to swallow an elephant, in fact, I don't want my father to be such a despicable person, in my memory, he is still that loving father.
But I couldn't fool myself, my mother's diary lay in my drawer, and the words were written with tears on it.
Today can be regarded as understanding Lin Xi's intention of calling me here, she doesn't want me to worry about why my dad jumped off the building, she is very my dad, and I hope everyone is like her.
Different positions have different answers, Lin Xi has never been the daughter of the first family, and even Lin Xiuwen, whose surname is followed, I don't understand her psychology very well, and just as she doesn't know what I think.
Stayed in the square with Lin Xi for almost two hours, although there was sunshine in winter, but it was also cold, I had been sitting, my hands and feet were a little numb, and I returned to the villa in a daze, when I just went upstairs, Simu's angry voice came from the room, the first time I saw Simu's anger so powerful, the ghost sent me to the room, Simu was on the phone with a cold face, and said in a warning tone: "Don't be too greedy, don't get anything when the time comes, I'm Huo Simu is not someone can handle it, after this money is out, If you let An An hear a little rumor, don't blame me for being unkind. ”
