770, I'm sorry
Lin Miaofu was a little embarrassed again, and continued to find something to talk about from her previous words, and asked, "Sister also dreams of her mother?" ”
Obviously want to resonate with her.
Ruan Shu ruthlessly denied: "No." I said, just in case. And if there is, it's just a nightmare. ”
"Sister" Lin Miaofu looked sentimental, "You still hate your mother so much"
Ruan Shu was not particularly happy to talk to her about Zhuang Peiyu in depth.
Lin Miaofu didn't seem to notice the displeasure in her expression, stared at her face that was seven points similar to Zhuang Peiyu, and suddenly burst into tears: "Do you know why I always hated you before?"
"I'm not interested, I don't want to know." Ruan Shu was bored.
Lin Miaofu's previous dislike for her has been vividly expressed, once in Lin Miaofu's angry scolding of her, she concluded that there are factors that think that she killed her father Lin Pingsheng and her brother Lin Han is imprisoned, there are factors that think that she controls her too leniently and interferes with her freedom, and there are factors that think she misbehaves like outsiders. is also similar to Lin Xiang, born with a magnetic field that does not match her, so no matter what she does, Lin Miaofu can't get used to it.
What Lin Miaofu said was not what Ruan Shu thought: "What I hate the most is that it seems that my mother seems to be partial to me, spoils me very much, and ignores you, but in fact, she loves you more." ”
Ruan Shu's pupils shrank slightly imperceptibly, and a certain cordon in his mind was also raised, reflexively resisting this topic: "I'm not here today to talk to you about her!" ”
The tone was abruptly sharp, like a hedgehog suddenly erecting thorns all over its body and entering a defensive state.
Lin Miaofu seemed to be frightened by her, and shook her head in fear: "Okay, I won't talk to you about my mother."
In an instant, her eyes were red, and she still didn't completely get out of the category of this topic: "I thought that sister you would want to know for so many years, you have a bad relationship with your mother, isn't it because you think your mother doesn't care about you, and misunderstand that your mother doesn't like you, but in fact, sister, you don't know how jealous I am of you"
"You know what?!" Ruan Shu gritted her teeth, she really wanted to hang up the phone for the intercom, and didn't want to talk nonsense with her anymore. But her body did not listen to her, and remained seated in her chair.
The ears also continued to receive Lin Miaofu's words: "You may know more about other things than me, but I know better than you what my mother's heart is." ”
"Who do you think she hides in the Buddha hall every day, chanting sutras and praying for blessings? It's all you! All the scriptures she copied were for your well-being! ”
"I just don't understand, why is she secretly hiding it when she cares about you so much? I don't understand, why is she more partial to you when you treat her so badly! ”
"What do you mean by making this up?!" Ruan Shu said coldly, the fingers holding the phone trembled, and the fist formed by the other hand slammed the table.
Seeing this, the prison guard came over to remind Ruan Shu.
Ruan Shu apologized to the prison guards and forced him to suppress his emotions and look back at Lin Miaofu.
Lin Miaofu was wiping her tears at the end of the transparent glass: "I didn't make it up, what I said is all true"
"It's none of my business, I don't want to hear it." Ruan Shu took a deep breath, "If there is nothing else, that's it." I won't come again, and you won't have to come to me to visit you again. The property and property of the Lin family in my hands are all yours. Wait for you to come out, take over by yourself, and spend as much as you like. ”
Lin Miaofu seemed to be frightened: "I don't want it, I don't want those things, sister, don't leave me alone!" I'm scared! People here are always bullying me! I don't like it at all! ”
"I want to get out! I want to go back to my old life with you! I was wrong before! It's me who is wrong! I promise to listen to you in the future! Sister, will you come to see me again? Please! Sister! As she spoke, her hand wanted to reach out to her, but it was blocked by the glass, so she could only spread her fingers and stick it to it.
Ruan Shu was indifferent: "Don't call my sister anymore." As I said before, I'm not your sister anymore. ”
"Why aren't you my sister? You're my sister! We were born to the same mother! Lin Miaofu emphasized.
The prison guards over there saw that Lin Miaofu was more emotional, and came over to pull Lin Miaofu.
The prison guards on Ruan Shu's side suggested to Ruan Shu that today's meeting should end for the time being.
Ruan Shu naturally had no problem, nodded in agreement, and was about to hang up the intercom phone.
Lin Miaofu hurriedly said: "Sister! Mom really loves you! I don't believe you go to my one"
Ruan Shu's movements involuntarily paused.
Lin Miaofu's phone was taken away by the prison guards.
Ruan Shu saw Lin Miaofu begging the prison guards, but the prison guards insisted on taking her away.
Lin Miaofu turned to Ruan Shu for help, but through the glass, Ruan Shu couldn't hear what she was saying.
Ruan Shu hesitated for a second and asked the prison guard on her side: "I'm sorry, can you let me say a few words to her?" We weren't arguing just now, it was just that our mother's death day was approaching, and she was a little sad. ”
The prison guard frowned and finally agreed.
"Thank you." Ruan Shu bowed deeply and turned his head to look back at the side of the transparent glass.
The prison guards on the other side got a signal and let go of Lin Miaofu.
Lin Miaofu hurriedly sat back in her chair and picked up the intercom phone again.
"Finish talking." Ruan Shu's face was expressionless.
Lin Miaofu negotiated conditions with her: "You promise me first, don't leave me, and you will come to see me every month in the future." When you look at me, remember to bring me some money. ”
Ruan Shu sneered: "Didn't you say a few minutes ago that you could make money in it?" ”
"But they always bully me." Lin Miaofu's expression was extremely aggrieved, as if she was suing Ruan Shu. And at this time, she is just a little back to the way she was before.
Ruan Shu wanted to say that her kind of personality is not bullied by others.
Regarding her conditions, Ruan Shu did not directly agree, but just asked, "Is there anything else?" Say it all at once. ”
"You must not leave me." Lin Miaofu repeated, and emphasized, "When I am released from prison, you have to come and pick me up and take me home to live together." ”
"Are you relying on me?" Ruan Shu had a cold face.
Lin Miaofu sobbed, but did not deny it, and emphasized: "You are my sister." ”
Ruan Shu snorted.
"Do you say yes?" Lin Miaofu asked her to confirm.
Ruan Shu swore that she really left directly in a very chic manner. But my heart was scratched by Lin Miaofu's words.
Silent, she nodded as if she didn't seem to be there, and she deserved it vaguely: "Hmm"
In fact, she was indeed just perfunctory, and for the first time in her life, she didn't want to keep her promises.
didn't give Lin Miaofu a chance to question, Ruan Shu immediately said: "If you want to say it, say it quickly, I don't have to listen." Prison guards are given a limited amount of time. ”
Lin Miaofu trembled and cast her eyes in the direction of the prison guard, and after turning her eyes back, she spoke: "I just said what I got from my mother and what I found, if you don't believe it, then I will show you something directly, seeing is believing." ”
"It doesn't take as much foreshadowing." Ruan Shu showed impatience.
"I took my mother's stuff before." Lin Miaofu said.
Ruan Shu squinted: "What is it?" ”
"A bank card, I took it to the bank and tried it, the password is my birthday, and it is her life savings left to me by my mother. Then there's a photo album. ”
"What album?"
"See for yourself. That album is the evidence I said I was going to give you. Lin Miaofu informed, "Both things are in my room. You look for it in a drawer. ”
"Nothing else?" Ruan Shu asked her to confirm.
"Nope." Lin Miaofu shook her head.
"When did you get it?" Ruan Shu pursued.
Lin Miaofu replied reluctantly: "After my mother died, I took it from her room." ”
Ruan Shu frowned, his eyes were sharp, and he sneered: "You hide it so well." ”
After Zhuang Peiyu died, not only her, but also Fu Lingyuan turned Lin Mansion inside and out, and finally only found so many Zhuang Peiyu's relics, but I didn't expect Lin Miaofu to have them?
Lin Miaofu shrank her neck and muttered, "Don't look at me like a thief." Didn't you take the mother's stuff too? Why can't I take it? She's not just your mom. ”
"If you like this mother, I'll give it all to you, you can have it alone, you don't need to give me half of it." Ruan Shu's tone was particularly ruthless and indifferent, and without waiting for Lin Miaofu's response, she put down the phone used for the intercom.
Lin Miaofu's face turned pale, and she shouted something to her on the glass, which attracted the obstruction of the prison guards.
Ruan Shu ignored it, did not look back, and left the visiting cell.
On the way back to the psychological counseling room, Zhuang Yao, who was driving, noticed her absent-mindedness and was concerned: "Sister, what's wrong?" Was it unpleasant to meet in the visitation cell? ”
"No," Ruan Shu muttered, staring out of the car window with empty eyes, only reverberating in his mind what Lin Miaofu had told him, thinking about whether to go back to the Lin family.
The car swept past the intersection leading to Lin's house, and she still hadn't made a decision.
She stared in the rearview mirror, seeing that she was getting farther and farther, and finally made Zhuang Yao turn his head.
Zhuang Yao glanced at her and saw that she was preoccupied, so he didn't ask too much, and directly changed the direction according to her request.
When he arrived at Lin Mansion and got off the car, Ruan Shu asked him casually: "You haven't been back for a long time, do you want to go back to your room and take a look?" ”
Zhuang Yao smiled bitterly: "Sister, don't laugh at me, where is my room?" It's better to talk about the bachelorette apartment I rented outside. ”
The corners of Ruan Shu's lips curved slightly, stepped inside, went straight up to the second floor, and stopped at the door of Lin Miaofu's room.
Zhuang Yao stopped there: "Sister, I'm waiting for you outside here, you have something to call me." ”
Ruan Shu nodded, opened the door and entered.
It was stuffy for too long, and the smell of dust hit me.
Ruan Shu covered his nose, walked to open half of the window, and then walked back. She is quite familiar with the layout of Lin Miaofu's room, after all, Lin Miaofu has been littering things for decades, and it was all the nanny at home who cleaned it up for her.
It didn't take much effort for Ruan Shu to find the cabinet where Lin Miaofu put the photo album.
There are two photo albums in it, one is Lin Miaofu's own, Ruan Shu is impressed, he has seen it before, and there is a group photo of the whole family of five.
The other book has a more simple style, which is very obvious to belong to Zhuang Peiyu.
Ruan Shu slowly took it out, put it on the table, sat in front of the table, lowered his gaze, looked at the album, touched the thick cover of the album, and slowly slid his fingers to the edge and opened it.
The first thing that catches your eye is a photo of Zhuang Peiyu, and it is precisely the one that Zhuang Peiyu takes as the last photo on the tombstone.
Ruan Shu frowned slightly, remembering that the posthumous photo on the tombstone was chosen by Lin Miaofu. On the day of Zhuang Peiyu's funeral, when she found out that Lin Miaofu chose this one, she also asked Lin Miaofu where she came from Chapter 195, because this photo was Chapter 196 that she inadvertently took for Zhuang Peiyu before, and the memories in it were not good. Lin Miaofu said that she accidentally found it in the photo album at home.
So what Lin Miaofu is referring to is actually this Zhuang Peiyu's photo album?
With speculation, Ruan Shu continued to flip back, stunned, because she saw her own college graduation photo wearing a bachelor's gown.
Holding her breath, she flipped back and saw her high school graduation photo in her school uniform, followed by her junior high school graduation and elementary school graduation photo.
The last one, judging by the background, should have been taken in a photo studio. In the photo, a girl who is only one or two years old, is held by the young Zhuang Peiyu and sits on Zhuang Peiyu's lap, the photo is obviously cut off in half, and the hand of the person who was cut off is still intimately placed on Zhuang Peiyu's shoulder.
Ruan Shu has never seen this photo, but she doesn't have to guess to know that the girl baby Zhuang Peiyu is holding is when she was a child, and according to the time calculation, the person who was cut off is probably the drunkard adoptive father in the urban village.
Ironically, it turns out that at that time, their family of three actually went to take a family photo?
At present, this photo was actually cut out by Zhuang Peiyu and over-molded. I think I got it later, because the edges of the photo are yellow, and the hair is still very old.
But why did Zhuang Peiyu deliberately cut it out?! What's the point?!
And what are you doing secretly collecting so many of her graduation photos?!
Ruan Shu's mood fluctuated, he snapped the photo album and stood up from the table, dropped the album and quickly walked to the window, opening the remaining half of the window as well.
She propped her hands on the window frame, leaned out of the window, breathed in the cool fresh air outside, and silently told herself over and over again in her heart that it was no big deal, it was just a few photos, and it didn't prove anything! Don't think about it! Don't think about it! Don't think about it!
After feeling relieved, Ruan Shu walked back to the table, thinking that this was the end of his mind, and wanted to put away the album and stuff it back into Lin Miaofu's drawer.
But the body was against her again, and after the hand touched the album again, she couldn't move.
By the time she came back to her senses, she had sat down again and opened the album again.
From beginning to end, she flipped through it all over again.
She didn't know what evil she had fallen into, it was obviously her own photos, her own photos, and photos she never cared about, but she turned them very slowly, carefully and carefully looked at them.
In the process of flipping back like this, she found that at the back of each of her graduation photos, Zhuang Peiyu marked her age that year, and the word "peace" was added to the back of her age.
In her college graduation photo, in addition to the word "peace", there are also five more words "thank the Buddha for blessing".
Obviously, the dividing line lies in the fact that when she graduated from high school when she was eighteen years old, Zhuang Peiyu officially converted to Buddhism and became a layman
There was a complex and indescribable emotion in her heart that gradually rose as she reopened the photo album, like water slowly warming and getting hotter, and that emotion became more and more intense.
Ruan Shu confronted it and tried her best to suppress it, and finally stopped at the one where she was held on her knee by Zhuang Peiyu, pulled out the photo, and looked closer.
She knew that she and Zhuang Peiyu looked alike, when she was a child, she didn't have the consciousness to remember the appearance of the young Zhuang Peiyu, and at this time, looking at the young Zhuang Peiyu in the photo, she really realized why Huang Jinrong could identify her as Zhuang Peiyu's daughter just by seeing her.
She stretched out a finger and gently rubbed it on Zhuang Peiyu's face.
She lowered her eyes and stared at Zhuang Peiyu in the photo, her eyes were straight and a little unfocused, and she felt that Zhuang Peiyu in the photo seemed to be staring at her, and with a gentle smile.
It's so ironic, how can there be a gentle smile? There will be no illusion, there is no possibility, there is no illusion
In a trance, she turned the photo over to look at the back.
Like the previous photos, Zhuang Peiyu also wrote, but the content was different.
This time, there were only three words.
I'm sorry.
Zhuang Yao heard the movement of knocking over things in the room, and he was a little worried, and asked inside: "Sister, are you okay?" ”
Didn't get a response.
Zhuang Yao's worry was even worse, and he knocked on the door: "Sister? ”
Still no response.
"Sister?" Zhuang Yao didn't care anymore, unscrewed the doorknob and hurriedly entered, and saw the broken table lamp on the ground at a glance.
The windows were wide open, the curtains were stirred and popped, a photo album was closed on the table, and the chairs in front of the table were some distance away, and no one was seated.
And the sound of the faucet rushing from the restroom.
Zhuang Yao ran over in three steps and two steps, knocking on the door of the bathroom: "Sister? Is it you in there? Are you okay? Why did you drop the lamp? ”
The sound of water did not stop, mixed with Ruan Shu's response to him: "I'm fine." Accidentally knocked over. I'm sorry. ”
Zhuang Yao listened to her timbre and faintly felt that something was wrong: "Sister, are you really okay?" ”
"Well, that's fine. You go out first. I'll find something more. Ruan Shu said.
Zhuang Yao stared at the door panel for a pause before admitting: "Okay, sister." ”
He walked out, glanced at the photo album as he passed the table, a look of silence between his eyebrows, and closed the door.
In the bathroom, after Ruan Shu confirmed that Zhuang Yao had left, she continued to pour water into her face with her palm.
The water wet her hair, her cuffs, the placket of her dress, the countertop, and the floor, and she did not notice it, but repeated the same action mechanically.
After some time, she finally stopped, pressed her hands on the countertop, supported her forward body, her shoulders folded, her head bowed deeply, and her eyes stared at the water valve that still flowed.
Maintaining her posture like this, for another half a while, she turned off the water valve in a daze, and then raised her head to look at herself in the mirror.
She watched, watched, watched, the scorching concentration in her eyes gradually condensed, and finally gathered, before she reached out to pull the paper towel on the countertop.
I took several cigarettes, wiped off my dripping chin, wiped my water-stained face, and wiped my hair with water droplets.
Very carefully.
Throwing away the used tissues, Ruan Shu opened the bathroom door and walked back to the bedroom.
Today's wind was stronger, and it was a little cooler, blowing in through the open window, blowing on her face that had just been washed with cold water, and it was getting colder and colder.
It is cool, but refreshing.
Ruan Shu couldn't help but feel excited, walked over, closed the window, dropped the lock, and immediately walked back to the table.
After a pause, she picked up the album again and flipped back to the words "I'm sorry" at once.
She sneered.
Ridiculous and pointless!
The photo was stuffed back, and she touched the protruding outline in the back cover and pulled out the thing, which was the bank card that Lin Miaofu said.
After putting the photo album and bank card in the bag, Ruan Shu walked to the dressing mirror again, combed his hair, covered his eyes with his palm, and then opened the door and walked out.
"Sister." Zhuang Yao, who was waiting outside, called her for the first time, and looked at her face with eyes full of judgment.
Ruan Shu turned sideways, closed the door, turned back sideways, and took the lead without stopping for a moment: "Let's go." ”
Zhuang Yao frowned and stared at her back for two seconds, catching up with her steps.
Getting in the car and leaving the Lin house, Ruan Shu glanced at the time to confirm that it was still too late, first went back to the psychological counseling room, brought the relevant documents, and then asked Zhuang Yao to drive her to the bank.
A very niche bank.
After arriving, Ruan Shu first went to the ATM and tried the bank card.
The password is indeed as Lin Miaofu said, it is Lin Miaofu's birthday.
The money in it is not particularly much, about two or three hundred thousand. She wasn't sure if the amount in the card was originally that, or if it had already been used by Lin Miaofu.
After exiting the bank card, Ruan Shu took the number and went to the counter.
She deliberately took out her **, Zhuang Peiyu's ** before her death, the Lin family's household registration book that had been invalidated by her, and the relevant materials she asked the lawyer to handle to prove that she had left the Lin family's household registration.
pondering, Zhuang Peiyu has passed away, and Lin Miaofu is in prison again, no matter whose name the account is opened, this should be enough to prove her kinship with Zhuang Peiyu or Lin Miaofu, and query the information she wants to query, right?
However, it was not that troublesome at all, because the staff at the counter informed that the owner of the bank card was Ruan Shu.
Ruan Shu naturally had no impression that he had applied for a savings card in this bank.
After inquiry, the staff informed: "It was your mother, Ms. Zhuang, who did it for you as a guardian when you were a minor." ”
Ruan Shu was stunned.
But Lin Miaofu said with great certainty that the bank card was left to her by Zhuang Peiyu?
Ruan Shu had just verified the password outside.
Of course, it is Lin Miaofu who is more likely to lie than the bank staff.
It is easy to guess that the original password was supposed to be her birthday, but Lin Miaofu changed it to Lin Miaofu's own birthday, and lied that the bank card was left to her by Zhuang Peiyu.
She probably thought that she didn't care about the money and wouldn't go to the bank to check.
She did guess correctly in the first half, Ruan Shu really didn't care about the money, but it was related to Zhuang Peiyu, and it involved Zhuang Peiyu's relics, so Ruan Shu wanted to inquire.
What Ruan Shu originally wanted to inquire about was when did this card Zhuang Peiyu get it, and what the account flow records were. Since the head of the bank card is Ruan Shu herself, it is easier to do it, and the staff at the counter did not take long to print out the bill for her.
