184. There is not even a trace of guilt
"Boss, something happened!" Zhao Shisan's expression was completely indescribable, "Li Qing called just now, Mrs. Lin committed suicide!" ”
Before the words completely fell, Ruan Shu's clear voice came out of Leng Buding: "She ......"
Fu Lingyuan turned around sharply, and saw her quietly stepping barefoot on the carpet, her face pale, and her pupils were full of shock.
Ruan Shu didn't remember what she was going to do when she came out, because the moment Zhao Shisan's last words came into her ears, her head suddenly went blank.
This blank remained until the car arrived at the forest house.
Fu Lingyuan called "Ruan Ruan" several times in her ear before she slowly turned her head and looked at the villa outside the car window.
"It's ......," Ruan Shu was stunned.
"Well, here we go." Fu Lingyuan pulled her shoulders over to face him, held her face, stared straight at her slightly silent phoenix eyes with dark eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Don't go in." I'll take care of the rest. ”
"Why don't you go in?" Ruan Shu's eyes were dark and faint, and an inappropriate smile appeared on his lips, "I'm going to go in and see how she died." ”
A very cold word. Fu Lingyuan frowned.
Ruan Shu took this smile and pushed the door to get out of the car.
There were more than a dozen Fu Lingyuan's subordinates guarding outside the house, making the Lin Mansion look more like a cage at this moment.
Farewell to the hair that was blown by the wind, Ruan Shu narrowed his eyes and strode in.
The lights in the living room were bright, and only the sobbing sound of a woman was quiet, and it was Lin Miaofu sitting on the sofa crying.
Sister-in-law Qing, who was also silently wiping her tears, was the first to see her, with a complicated expression: "Second Miss." ”
Lin Miaofu raised her head when she heard this, and immediately got up from the sofa, and her sharp gaze shot straight over: "Are you happy now?" Mom is dead, too! You've driven everyone to death! ”
She was about to rush over, but Sister-in-law Qing stopped her in time and reminded her not to get excited and be careful about the fetal gas.
Lin Miaofu tilted her head and leaned on Sister-in-law Qing's shoulder, crying breathlessly.
Ruan Shu looked calm, and only asked Sister-in-law Qing: "Where is she?" ”
"Buddha Hall." Sister-in-law Qing had red eyes.
Lin Miaofu fried again: "Get out!" What do you want? Mom won't want to see you! She's all dead, and you're still here to disturb her peace! ”
Fu Lingyuan gestured to the two subordinates with his eyes, and the two subordinates immediately walked over, grabbed Lin Miaofu's arm one left and one right, and forcibly escorted her to the second floor.
"What are you doing? I'm pregnant! I haven't sued you for trespassing yet! A bunch of hooligans! Lin Miaofu cursed as she wriggled her body and struggled. inadvertently met Fu Lingyuan's cold eyes, and she unconsciously shrank back, and then she was stunned.
Ruan Shu walked through the aisle without squinting, and walked straight to the door of the room at the very end, but stopped and did not move again.
The door was open, and the smell of sandalwood kept bubbling out.
"Boss, Sister Ruan." Li Qing hurriedly greeted him.
Ruan Shu just stood with a cold expression, staring at the door with empty eyes, without any reaction.
Li Qing glanced at Fu Lingyuan quietly.
Fu Lingyuan's eyes were heavy, and he stared at Ruan Shu silently.
Seeing this, Li Qing stepped aside for the time being.
After an interval of about a minute, Ruan Shu continued to walk and stepped into the Buddhist hall.
At first glance, everything looks the same as before.
The Buddha statue on the shrine was silently enshrined, and Zhuang Peiyu knelt on the futon in a green dress, her back thin.
Ruan Shu slowly paced closer to her, circling in front of her.
Zhuang Peiyu's head was weakly planted in her chest, like a posture of pious repentance, and her two hands were still holding the string of Buddhist beads, hanging down on her knees.
Ruan Shu lowered his body and squatted in front of her, seeing that her face was pale and her lips were blue.
"How did you die......" she was ruthless.
"The whole bottle of sleeping pills on the table is empty." Li Qing pointed to the mahogany table in front of the window, which was covered with scriptures written by Zhuang Peiyu during her lifetime. There was also a brazier next to the table, and in the brazier was the ashes left over from the burning of something, which had obviously been burned for a long time, and there was no smoke or spark in it.
"I chose the most uncreative but also the most painless way to die......" Ruan Shu snorted rather mockingly, "I didn't leave a confession or anything like that?" ”
"Nope."
"When?" She asked again.
"I found it when my sister-in-law came to bring dinner to Mrs. Lin in the evening." Li Qing said, "I haven't dared to touch Mrs. Lin's body yet." Wait for Sister Ruan's orders. ”
Ruan Shu was silent, and said in a non-wavering tone and even a little ruthlessly: "I have nothing to command." ”
Soon she added: "Inform my eldest uncle Lin Chengzhi." ”
With that, she got back to her feet. Although he only squatted for a while, the moment he got up, it was inevitably dark in front of him.
Fu Lingyuan hugged her very quickly.
"Thank you, third brother." Ruan Shu closed his eyes, reopened them, and smiled lightly, "I'm done." I want to go home now. ”
"Hmm. Go home. Fu Lingyuan stroked her hair, and before leaving, he re-explained her words to Li Qing, "Inform Lin Chengzhi." ”
Ruan Shu didn't look at Zhuang Peiyu again, and took the lead in leaving the Buddhist hall.
In the living room, Sister-in-law Qing saw her come out and hurriedly called: "Second Miss!" ”
Trying to step forward, he suddenly stopped when he realized that she was still accompanied by someone.
Ruan Shu saw her desire to speak and stopped: "What's the matter?" ”
A trace of hesitation crossed Sister-in-law Qing's face, and she finally just asked, "What is the aftermath of Madame......
"It's not my business. I'll call my uncle back to do it. Ruan Shu said softly.
"The third young lady ......," Sister-in-law Qing hesitated.
"Her affairs are not in my hands, don't let me repeat it." Ruan Shu said extremely coldly.
Sister-in-law Qing swallowed with a complicated expression.
Ruan Shu sank down, and when he spoke again, his tone was calmer, and he asked, "Before she committed suicide, you didn't notice her abnormality?" ”
Sister-in-law Qing's voice was a little choked: "Second Miss, I have always wanted to tell you before, it has been a long time, and Madame's appetite is very bad." You've probably seen it all when you just went in, and she's haggard and haggard. I was worried about whether she was sick and advised her to see a doctor, but she was unwilling. ”
Zhuang Peiyu's haggardness, Ruan Shu remembered, and he noticed it a while ago......
Although she used to spend most of her time in the Buddhist hall, she would at least often eat with Miss San, and occasionally go for a walk in the back garden with Miss San. But recently, she has been locked up in the Buddhist hall day and night, and she didn't take a few bites of the food I sent in. ”
"If I have to say that it is abnormal, it is that Madame has burned all the scriptures intermittently."
Burning the scriptures...... Ruan Shu had no expression on his face, remembering the brazier next to the mahogany table, which was burning scriptures.
"Yesterday morning she told me that she was going in retreat, that I didn't have to bring her any more food, that I didn't disturb her. In the past, Madame only retreated on the birthday of the Buddha, and only for one day at most. But this time, for no reason, there was no movement until this afternoon. In the evening, Miss San and I couldn't help but go to the Buddha Hall to ask her, and it turned out that Mrs. ......"
Ruan Shu asked that question, but she didn't want to know so much, but Sister-in-law Qing explained it in detail. She didn't interrupt either, she listened to it all.
Everything is reflected in Zhuang Peiyu, who had already planned to commit suicide.
I had planned to kill myself......
"Nothing else...... For example, in the two or three days before she committed suicide, did she see outsiders? Ruan Shu asked again.
Fu Lingyuan, who had always stood beside her, responded with a deep gaze imperceptibly.
Sister-in-law Qing wiped her tears and shook her head: "There are usually no outsiders at home, and since the uncle and his family moved out, there has been no one left." ”
"Okay, I know......" Ruan Shu pursed his lips and finally said, "You have worked hard in the Lin family all these years. If you want to stay and work here, I'll pay you the same way I did before. If you want to change jobs, you can do that and I'll compensate you with a bonus. After you think about it and make a decision, tell Li Qing. He'll relay it to me. ”
After speaking, Ruan Shu took a deep breath and walked out without waiting for Sister-in-law Qing's response.
Sister-in-law Qing stood in place, watching the back of Fu Lingyuan, who was walking with Ruan Shu, and swept away the strangers guarding the door, her face tangled and sad.
……
After returning to the car, Ruan Shu didn't make a sound again, leaned back into Fu Lingyuan's arms, and stared blankly at the neon lights that kept passing outside the car window.
I don't know how long it took, but I felt something shaking in front of my vision.
Ruan Shu returned to his eyes and found that it was Fu Lingyuan's hand, and the car had arrived at the parking lot of the Green Water Mansion.
"I'm sorry." She rubbed her brow bone, then grabbed his hand and got out of the car.
Fu Lingyuan squinted at her: "Mrs. Fu is in my arms, but my heart doesn't know where to go." ”
Ruan Shu smiled, let him lead her, and walked into the elevator together.
Fu Lingyuan stretched out his finger and scraped it on her lips, and asked again: "What are you thinking?" ”
"Didn't think about anything." Ruan Shu tilted his head, leaned on his shoulder, and closed his eyes again.
Through the smooth mirror surface of the car, Fu Lingyuan stared at her quietly, his eyes deep.
Hearing the sound of the elevator "ding", Ruan Shu opened her eyes, and Fu Lingyuan suddenly stopped her waist and hugged her horizontally.
Caught off guard, she reflexively circled his neck, a little frightened: "What are you doing?" ”
Fu Lingyuan walked out of the elevator with her in his arms, looked down at her from above, and raised the corner of his lips: "Mrs. Fu has been showing poor spirits, isn't it implying that you are tired and need me to carry you away?" ”
Ruan Shu: "......"
After a second, she remembered something for a moment, and hurriedly struggled: "Quickly let me down, you have a wound on your back." ”
Before his hand grasped her leg, she broke away from his embrace, and as soon as she got back to the ground, she hurried to check his back.
Sure enough, a little blood oozed from it, staining a small piece of his light blue shirt red. Ruan Shu's face immediately sank.
Fu Lingyuan stared at her annoyance, but smiled: "Finally, it's no longer just one expression at me." ”
Ruan Shu was angry, and after entering the house, he immediately brought the medicine box to change his medicine.
I took off my coat, and the gauze inside was oozing more blood.
The position of his injury is the shoulder blade in the activity area, and the moment he just hugged her in the elevator, he not only had to stretch his arm, but also had to exert force, and the wound did not crack before there was a ghost.
Ruan Shu stopped the bleeding for him, and the more ugly his expression became.
"Mrs. Fu is still angry?" Fu Lingyuan was naked, sitting cross-legged on the sofa with his back to her, his face slightly tilted back, and asked.
Staring at the lazy smile on his lips, Ruan Shu lowered his eyes, condensed his gaze on his wound, and did not say anything.
Fu Lingyuan simply turned around.
Ruan Shu had a cold face: "What are you doing?" The medicine hasn't been changed yet. ”
Fu Lingyuan held her face with one hand: "That little injury is not a big deal, it won't die." At most, it heals a few days later, or the scar is deeper. It can't compare to Mrs. Fu's joy and sorrow. ”
Ruan Shu's eyes flashed, and he patted his arm vigorously: "Now is not the time to talk to you about love, change the medicine first." ”
"Mrs. Fu first confesses your true emotions." Fu Lingyuan held her face and didn't let go, his eyes fixed on her, full of insight.
Ruan Shu's back stiffened and pursed his lips tightly. In an instant, she buried her forehead against his chest: "I'm not sad. I'm not upset. I just ......"
"I'm just unwilling, how could she kill herself like this......" she covered her sullen heart, "She owes me so much, she hasn't paid off anything, I haven't forgiven her yet, how can she die...... And ......"
"And she didn't even decide to kill herself because of guilt for me."
"Why do you say that?" Fu Lingyuan lowered his eyes and stared at the black hair on the top of her head.
"You don't understand...... You don't understand her......" Ruan Shu closed her eyes, "She has survived the life in the urban village, and she has also survived the breakdown of the Lin family. For so many years, she has been struggling in front of the Buddha with her sins, and no matter how sneering and humiliating I am, she is fine. Now he suddenly said that he would commit suicide, and he didn't even care about Lin Miaofu. ”
"There must be a reason for this. It is a cause that is even more unbearable than those sufferings. She was convinced, "Something must have happened to her." Something must have happened in the period before she committed suicide......"
Clenching his fists, Ruan Shu felt the long-lost sourness welling up in his nose, and his voice mocked: "I have done so many things." But until the end, it didn't occupy a single place in her heart. I gave up my dislike for me and chose to commit suicide, even if I felt a trace of guilt, she didn't give me ......"
After a few words, there was a long silence, except for Koko's movement on the roller shaft.
Fu Lingyuan's eyes were deep, and he pursed his lips and said nothing.
Suddenly, Ruan Shu looked up from his chest, silently pushed him back, and continued to treat his wounds.
"When Li Qing comes back, you still ask him to get it for you again. He is more professional. I don't have a lot of experience, so it's probably not appropriate. ”
"If you don't have experience, you accumulate experience." Fu Lingyuan smiled, "From now on, my injuries will be handed over to Mrs. Fu to practice." ”
This is not a good word, it is clear that he will continue to be injured in the future. Ruan Shu immediately frowned: "I don't need this kind of experience." I didn't want to rob Dr. Huang of his job. ”
"Even if you practice on me for a lifetime, you won't be able to snatch Huang Sang's job." Fu Lingyuan chuckled.
Ruan Shu: "......"
"If you want to praise Dr. Huang's medical skills, you can praise it directly, why bother to belittle me to set it off. If you specialize in the art industry, you should let Dr. Huang try to do business. She snorted, cutting the excess gauze.
Fu Lingyuan turned sideways and grabbed her hand: "Hmm, there is a strong smell of vinegar." ”
"Stop tossing around, my efforts will be in vain." Ruan Shu glared at him, withdrew his hand, and sorted out the medicine box.
Fu Lingyuan leaned over, took off her jaw from behind her and put it against her shoulder socket: "Just let it go." Now it's time for you to go in and take a warm bath and go to bed. Don't think much about anything. ”
The voice is warm and low, and there is inexplicably a soothing power. Ruan Shu tilted his head slightly, and his lips brushed against his cheeks. She simply kissed him on the cheek: "Give you comfort for your injuries." ”
After the kiss, she got up and walked towards the bedroom.
Fu Lingyuan's ambiguous smile came from behind: "Mrs. Fu will kiss me directly if she wants to kiss me in the future, no need to make excuses." ”
"......" Ruan Shu turned his head and raised his chin slightly, "It seems that the third brother doesn't like it?" Then I won't give you these small favors again. ”
Her original intention was to threaten him, but Fu Lingyuan was useless at all, touched her chin and said, "Well, it's the same for me to repay my grievances with virtue and give Mrs. Fu a favor." ”
Ruan Shu: "......" She still didn't take his words anymore.
After watching her figure disappear into the bedroom door, Fu Lingyuan was careless and returned to his solemn face.
Touching the cigarette case and lighter, and taking his mobile phone, he walked out to the balcony, leaned against the fence face in, lit a cigarette, and dialed Li Qing's phone.
The second sound of Li Qing quickly picked up: "Boss." ”
"Tell me more details." Fu Lingyuan's voice was cold - when Zhao Shisan reported the news to him, it was a pure accident that she heard it, because she was by her side, he didn't have time to understand many things, let alone sort them out, so he took her directly to the Lin Mansion.
"Boss, the situation is almost what Sister-in-law Qing said. There are always our people guarding the outside of the Lin family, and it is guaranteed that no one else has been here during this period. ”
Hearing this, Fu Lingyuan's heart sank heavily - as soon as this sentence came out, he completely affirmed the reason why Zhuang Peiyu committed suicide in his heart: this is the three-day appointment she promised, and the answer given to him after the promised three days. Not the whereabouts of 200 million, but death to keep secrets!
"Boss......" Although he didn't say anything for a long time, the low air pressure was completely transmitted to the end of the earpiece through this silence, Li Qing was a little frightened, it had been a long time that nothing had suppressed his boss's emotions like this.
"Did you notify Lin Chengzhi of Zhuang Peiyu's death?"
"Nope. I know what the boss meant by emphasizing it. Lin Miaofu and Sister-in-law Qing both watched. ”
"Deal with that sister-in-law first." Fu Lingyuan's eyes narrowed with a dangerous aura, "Do you know what to do?" ”
To deal with Sister-in-law Qing, Li Qing is not surprised at all, she knows too much, and she always looks like she wants to say something to Sister Ruan. He quickly agreed, "Understood, boss." Tell Sister Ruan that Sister-in-law Qing chose to leave the Lin family and find another job. I'm going to do it cleanly, and I'm going to leave no flaws. ”
Fu Lingyuan groaned and continued to explain: "Lin Chengzhi must be asked to come back to the Lin Mansion tomorrow morning at the latest." Therefore, there is only one night, and the Lin family must be searched up and down. Especially Zhuang Peiyu's personal belongings. ”
After a pause, he added: "You search first, and I'll find time to go over later." ”
"Yes, Boss."
Staring at the bright lights in the floor-to-ceiling windows, Fu Lingyuan stood in the shadows of the balcony with a cold body, puffing out the smoke fiercely, but the irritability in his heart became more and more intense.
After smoking the third one, he opened the floor-to-ceiling window and returned to the living room, and after making solemn eye contact with Koko's small eyes, he strode to the kitchen.
……
Ruan Shu came out of the bathroom with his hair wiped, just as Fu Lingyuan walked back to the bedroom, carrying a glass of milk, and delivered it directly to her: "It's just right, drink it to help you sleep." ”
"Thank you." Ruan Shu took the cup, and Fu Lingyuan took the towel from her hand, wrapped the ends of her hair, and wiped her carefully.
After drinking the milk, she returned the empty cup to him and walked to the dresser.
Fu Lingyuan put down the empty cup, and also walked over to the dresser, with an extra hair dryer in his hand, and helped him to blow her hair when the electricity was turned on.
Ruan Shu smiled, rubbed the lotion, and let him move.
When I was rubbing my body lotion, all of a sudden, the movement of the hair dryer stopped. As soon as she raised her head to see what was wrong, the cream in her hand was snatched away by Fu Lingyuan: "I'll help Mrs. Fu." ”
Ruan Shu: "......"
"Blow your hair, blow your hair well." She recaptured.
Fu Lingyuan bent over, put his chin on the top of her hair, and looked at her through the mirror: "Mrs. Fu is shy? ”
His two palms were placed on her shoulders, and the temperature of his palms was transmitted through the slippery satin pajamas: "Where is Mrs. Fu's body that I haven't touched?" Rub your body lotion and give you a massage by the way. ”
Ruan Shu habitually pushed him back with his elbow, forgetting for a moment that the two of them were now standing and sitting together.
At the height at which they had both stood, her elbow was just right to hit his abdomen.
At this moment, her back was separated from his body by some distance, so she pounced.
If that's it, just forget it. Fu Lingyuan noticed it for the first time, and before she could retract her elbow, he deliberately stood up straight. So she threw her elbow against his crotch.
Ruan Shu: "......"
In the mirror, he glanced at the contact, and then raised his eyes to hook the corners of his lips with a rippling smile: "What is Mrs. Fu hinting at?" ”
Ruan Shu rolled his eyes, calmly withdrew his elbows, didn't wipe the body lotion at all, put down the bottle on the table, and said, "I still have to go back to the Lin family tomorrow." ”
"What's wrong?" Fu Lingyuan grabbed the comb from the countertop and slowly helped her smooth her hair.
Ruan Shu pursed her lips slightly, was silent, and said, "Help her sort out the relics." By the way, I also moved all my own things out of the Lin family. ”
"Hmm. It's time to move things out and bring them all back home. Fu Lingyuan suddenly lowered his head and dropped a kiss on the top of her hair, "I'm very happy, Mrs. Fu finally has made this place her home." ”
Ruan Shu lowered his eyes slightly uncomfortably, avoiding his burning gaze in the mirror. She herself remembers that when she was in the forest house, she inadvertently said "go home". It was really a bit of a smooth thing to say at the time......
"Li Qing will help take care of the Lin family's affairs for the next two days, and let him help you move things tomorrow." Fu Lingyuan's fingertips rubbed her cheek and smiled lowly, "It just so happens that Mrs. Fu has taken the initiative to send Li Qing as her own." ”
He was referring to the fact that she had asked Sister-in-law Qing to tell her about her decision through Li Qing. At that time, Li Qing happened to be next to her, and she was smooth again...... However, mentioning this, Ruan Shu remembered and asked him: "Have you been letting people guard the Lin family all the time?" ”
Otherwise, why would Li Qing call to inform the news of Zhuang Peiyu's suicide?
Fu Lingyuan was playing with the ends of her hair, and his fingers were slightly stagnant when he heard the words.
