After entering the house, Chiba pressed her back against the door, her tongue against her throat, afraid that a heart would pop out of her mouth.

The silk scarf is indeed Grandma Wang's!

After collecting the silk scarf, she carefully examined the adjacent tombstones and found no one with the surname Wang in the name of the deceased or family members. Then, nine times out of ten, Grandma Wang went to the cemetery to worship Shangguan Yu.

"I don't know, I've never been in......" Thinking of what Grandma Wang said at the door of "One Less Knife", she couldn't help but feel numb in her scalp.

Why did Grandma Wang hide the fact that she knew Shangguan Yu? The day before Shangguan Yu's accident, she suddenly appeared at the door of "One Less Knife" and stopped her from entering, what was her intention? Could someone else happen to have such a lavender-scented silk scarf? Is there a big chance of this?

Chiba was puzzled.

After thinking about it, she decided to ask Song Yingchen about it.

The two of them were at a light restaurant very close to Yuefu, she had no appetite, so she ordered pasta for Song Yingchen, and she only needed a glass of white water.

Song Yingchen was more than ten minutes late, and judging from the actions of walking and sitting, he was much more recovered than before.

"Sorry for being late, help my mom install the new phone, she doesn't know how to do it."

"It's okay, I've just arrived. How is Aunt Lu doing? ”

"What do you mean, if you want to ask her about that fake eye, it's just like the real thing!"

"I ask you ...... with her," she knew he was deliberately avoiding the topic.

"That's it, no one wants to poke through the layer of window paper, if you can really hurt the needle, I guess the problem will be solved."

"It's so serious, how much of a problem can it be with your mother."

When the pasta was served, Song Yingchen couldn't wait to raise the fork, looking hungry. The moment he rolled up the noodles, he stopped and looked at Chiba meaningfully.

"There is a person in her life who is very important to her, but I don't know the identity of this person, and she has been hiding it from me, is this kind of problem serious?"

Chiba's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and the three words chocolate immediately came to mind - she didn't know that the mysterious person in Song Yingchen's mouth was referring to Lei Wan.

She regretted asking a question that she shouldn't have asked, and after thinking for a while, she asked, "Then let me ask you, does she know every time we meet?" ”

Song Yingchen was stunned and confessed: "I knew before, but I didn't tell her these few times." ”

This answer hit Chiba's heart, because she knew that Lu Meiqin had some opinions about her and Song Yingchen getting too close.

"Why?" She asked deliberately.

"She doesn't seem to be very happy that I'm looking for you, saying that you are a girl who is usually busy with work, so tell me not to bother me too much."

"So you don't want to tell her."

Song Yingchen was very clever and quickly realized what she was hiding.

"How can that be compared, her relationship with that person is completely different from my relationship with you......"

He was arguing and suppressing the secret troubles in his heart, but she was shy and hiding her frightened apprehension, and the atmosphere became a little delicate.

“…… In short, I couldn't talk to her more and more, and she went around and around with me, arguing with me if I didn't say the right thing. ”

Chiba smiled bitterly and looked out the window, and said lonely: "I sometimes think about how good it would be to quarrel with my mother, but this rebellious desire is more difficult than ascending to the sky." More often than not, I can only pray to myself, praying that she will wake up one day and that I will be able to do whatever I want. I promise not to say a word, not to say a word that she doesn't like to hear...... I don't know what kind of misunderstanding there is between you and Aunt Lu, I just want you to understand her more. Being a mother is the hardest thing in the world, and it's not easy for her. ”

"I know, I also admit that sometimes I seem a little stingy and even sensitive in front of her." Song Yingchen put down the fork, two slender fingers roamed around the mouth of the cup, and the exquisite finger shape looked like a palace-level ballet dancer performing a beautiful performance, "Chiba, in fact, if you don't look for me today, I will take the initiative to find you, there is something difficult to say, but it is really uncomfortable, I must tell it to someone I trust, in order to get objective advice...... And that person is you. ”

"Me?"

"Yes, my interpersonal relationships have been abroad all these years, and to be honest, I don't have any friends here in Lucheng. I know you and I feel very close and trusted, and I want to tell you about it because...... You might be able to help me."

Chiba was surprised and delighted, scared and panicked, and was at a loss for a while, and asked, "What, what's the matter?" ”

Song Yingchen tilted her upper body slightly towards her, but because of the injury on her shoulder, the amplitude was not large.

"I want to tell you about my mom and that mysterious man."

"Don't listen!" She quickly covered her ears in resistance, and reacted excessively.

She was born clumsy at lying, but in order not to involve Song Yingchen in something that should not be involved, she has lied to him several times. This already made her chagrin and blame, and at this moment Song Yingchen threw out the topic of "mysterious person" again, with her position, she neither wanted to deceive nor confessed, and she didn't know how to deal with it at all.

This move surprised Song Yingchen, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

She said almost in a pleading tone: "I have no private relationship with Aunt Lu, and I don't know her as well as you, so I don't know who she is in contact with, please don't ask me, I can't help you." ”

When Song Yingchen heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh.

"I haven't even figured out who that person is, how do you know......" He looked around, lowered his voice, and leaned forward again, "She has men outside, and she sticks together every day, do you think she will be known to everyone?" ”

"Men?" Chiba was dumbfounded, only then did he know that the mysterious person in Song Yingchen's mouth was not chocolate.

"That's right, that kind of man who has a very unusual relationship."

Song Yingchen raised the water glass again but found that it had bottomed out, and was about to greet the waiter, when Chiba pushed his untouched cup over.

"Thank you." He poured the water into the cup, slowly as if buying time for how to phrase it, "Actually, after my dad left, my mom had one or two relationships halfway, and I know about them. Now that I'm an adult, I'm more rational and objective about these things, but she's hiding, as if I'm afraid I know. ”

"Maybe I haven't written the eight characters yet, and I don't want to tell you in a hurry."

Chiba, who had a false alarm, brought back the cup that had been evenly watered, and poured the remaining mouthful into his mouth.

"No, it's not." Although he was ready to tell all the confusion, when it came to the key point, Song Yingchen was still a little difficult to say. He lowered his head in thought and asked softly. "There is a novel called "Fifty Shades of Grey", and I made a movie, have you seen it?"

"Nope."

"Go check it out, the answer is inside."

"Fifty shades of grey ......," she muttered.

The waiter stepped forward to pour water for the two, and Song Yingchen took advantage of the situation to terminate the topic.

"By the way, what's the matter with me today?"

As soon as he was relieved, Chiba had to concentrate his attention again.

"I want to inquire about Grandma Wang of 1102."

"Grandma Wang?" Song Yingchen began to eat, the noodles were brought to the mouth, and the white teeth chewed up and down, "Why did you suddenly ask her?" Don't you say that she is usually weird, what, what strange things happened again? ”

"Don't ask so much, I haven't figured it out myself, can you tell me what you know about her?"

Song Yingchen rolled her eyes upwards and made a thoughtful gesture: "Actually, I don't know her, I haven't had much contact." Today's high-rise buildings are not like hutong courtyards, although they are separated by a wall, they are all living their own lives behind closed doors, and the word neighbor is only superficial. But I think she was angry at me when she first moved in, and it stands to reason that neighbors should be kind, but I didn't expect it to be such a weird-tempered old lady, it's a bit incredible. ”

Chiba suddenly became interested, thinking that there must be something he wanted in his opinion, so he listened carefully with his hands on his cheeks.

"My mother originally wanted to buy both sides together, and in the future, I will become a family that can live in different houses in the same building and take care of each other. But I didn't agree, thinking that she was thinking too far ahead and should continue to use the money to invest in business, so I only bought 1101. We lived in the apartment for about half a year before Grandma Wang moved in, thinking that I would be neighbors in the future, so I went to say hello. Originally, she was polite, but I didn't want to visit the house because I was ignorant, so I was refused. You know, the kid was naughty, and one day I slipped in while she was out throwing out the trash. ”

"What's her house like?"

Chiba felt the same way, judging from the posture of Grandma Wang opening the door, this old lady was particularly taboo for others to spy on her room.

"Her house is a little dark and a little messy...... Hand that to me. Song Yingchen Nunu motioned for her to hand over the condenser, and then sprinkled some black pepper into the pasta, "She just walked around the living room and went back to the house, and she dragged me out, and scolded me." But I had a sweet mouth, and the next day I went to apologize, and she forgave me and gave me candy. ”

"And then?"

"No, less than two weeks after she moved here, my mom sent me out of the country."

"What did you mean by Aunt Lu going abroad?"

"You think you can get a U.S. visa in two weeks?" Song Yingchen scratched his ears, "It's my own meaning, the visa was applied for before, but the study abroad time was advanced because of an accident." ”

She keenly caught the word "accident" in Song Yingchen's words, and had a hunch that it was related to Lu Meiqin's seeking help from chocolate.

"Accident, what accident?"

"My aunt, do you want to hear it?" Seeing her eager expression on her face, Song Yingchen asked.

"Yes." She tried not to make her curiosity seem to have another purpose.

"Then I have to wait until I finish eating, otherwise I won't be able to eat it after I finish speaking."

After speaking, Song Yingchen buried his head in a big gulp and ate it, changing his slow and logical appearance.

After a while, he lowered his fork and took a long breath, as if gathering momentum for a speech. And the pessimism hidden in the content of the speech was clearly revealed from his expression.

"Do you know why I sneaked into Grandma Wang's house at that time, but my mother didn't stop me? Because during that time, she couldn't take care of me at all, running to the police station, the funeral home, and the cemetery all day long, and was very busy with my aunt's affairs. She's always been obsessed with it, so I said she's just like you, with unsolved knots in her heart. The smile on his face was gone, replaced by a melancholy and sad face, "She feels that the Lucheng police have done nothing and let the murderer go unpunished, so she has been looking for clues while doing business, hoping to let the truth of the matter come to light through her own efforts." ”

"What happened to your aunt?"

"At first, I only knew that she was killed, and I didn't know the cause very well, and my mother never told me in detail, for fear of leaving a shadow in my heart. But there is no impermeable wall in the world, I am curious, or I heard the scene when my aunt was killed from the mouths of others. The death is so tragic that I am afraid that there has not been a second case in Lucheng in the past ten years...... Are you sure you want to listen to it more? ”

Chiba hesitated, but her ears remained erect.

"Hmm."

"Not afraid? It's scary. ”

"Don't be afraid."

"That's a lot of guts." Song Yingchen half-jokingly said that it was also to relieve the pressure of retelling the tragedy, "My aunt is very beautiful, she has fallen in love several times, but she dumped others, and in the end, she didn't meet the right person." Later, one day I suddenly told everyone that I was going to get married, and I was pregnant with a child, and I found out that I met someone who fell in love at first sight, and I decided to get married in a flash after rapid development. In the blink of an eye, the due date arrived, but she and her boyfriend were both killed at home, and the child in her womb did not see the light of day. The murderer was very cruel, not only killed them, but also pulled out his eyeballs, and my grandfather was so angry that he was bedridden and died not long after. My grandmother suffered a double blow, she was already suffering from Alzheimer's, but as a result, she became mentally ill and has been living in an insane asylum...... Ah, why are you crying? ”

As he spoke, he raised his head and saw that Chiba was already in tears.

She probably understood why Lu Meiqin, who was strong, would be so cautious and respectful of chocolate. Such a blood feud is as good as the shadow of her childhood.

It is said that human nature is good at the beginning, but it is unexpectedly that people are a hundred times worse than the demons of hell. She even hopes and prays that Lu Meiqin can get her wish as soon as possible and clear her sister's grievances.

"How can there be such a bad person, not as good as a beast!" She cried for Lu Meiling and for herself, completely uncontrollable.

Song Yingchen folded the tissue and thoughtfully wiped away her tears.

"I'm sorry...... You go on, I'm fine. She said strongly.

"I heard that my aunt died of a vendetta, and my mother asked me to go abroad ahead of schedule, just because I was afraid that something would happen again."

……

On the way back to the Sakura Apartment, Chiba's ears kept ringing the words that Song Yingchen had only spoken. When she asked him why he told him this, Song Yingchen only said two words - trust.

These two words can be interpreted in many ways, but she is reluctant to interpret them, thinking that it is just right. Although those bloody tragedies were shocking, while feeling sad about it, she preferred to wish the teenager a happy companion every day in the future.

Because he is so sunny, pure, healthy, and free of impurities, like a crystal clear mountain spring that cannot be polluted. Such a being like the darling of the Creator should not be confronted with suffering.
