Lu Meiqin looked at her phone, half an hour had passed since the appointed time. She wanted to make another phone call to ask questions, but her fingers retracted the moment they touched the call button.

"Waiter, pay ......"

She raised her hand and shouted, just in time to see the person waiting walk in from outside the store, so she quickly changed her words: "Oh no, order!" ”

Grandma Wang walked in slowly, but her eyes did not fall on her, and there was no expectation or joy on her face. She took off her thin coat and put it on the back of her chair when the waiter came over with a water bill.

"Auntie, what's going to drink?"

Without waiting for an answer, Lu Meiqin preemptively said: "A cup of grapefruit tea, put two lemons." ”

The waiter nodded knowingly, and was about to turn around, but Grandma Wang said with a straight face: "No, I'll sit down and leave." ”

"I'm sorry Auntie, we have a minimum consumption here, 60...... per capita"

Grandma Wang buried her head in her coat and took out a ten-yuan and fifty-dollar one and slapped them on the table.

"Take it."

The waiter was a little overwhelmed by her reaction, Lu Meiqin hurriedly pushed the money to her side, and said with a smile: "I want a glass of white water, I'll settle it later." ”

Grandma Wang insisted on giving the money to the waiter.

Lu Meiqin didn't want to say anything more, and waved at the waiter: "Go ahead." Then he smiled at Grandma Wang with a little flattery, a little bitter.

"You're here anyway."

Grandma Wang didn't answer, her hands rested on her knees, she looked straight ahead, looking very reluctant.

Lu Meiqin took out a pile of banknotes from her bag and put them on the coffee table, and said earnestly: "I brought you some living expenses, open and bloom, not enough to tell me again." ”

Grandma Wang glanced at it and quickly looked away.

"I'm here to tell you that you don't have to contact you again in the future, I made it clear last time, you don't have to bother talking."

"Mother Wang." Lu Meiqin felt a burst of worry, "Why can't you understand me, Sang'er, he ......"

"You're not qualified to mention San'er, and he has nothing to do with you." Grandma Wang got up and wanted to leave, but was stopped.

"Okay, okay, don't mention it, you sit down first, and we'll have a good talk."

"There's nothing to talk about between us, I'm a widowed old woman who has no support and no ability. Unlike you, you are making money every day, and your business is doing windmills. Instead of wasting time with me here, you should repair your house and earn your money. ”

Lu Meiqin was still patient and persuaded: "I know you feel uncomfortable, but aren't I doing this to take revenge." You know how I've been here all these years, swallowing my anger and suffering, all for Misuzu and them. I can't eat well or sleep, you see, I'm already losing my hair......" said and pulled a few strands of hair into his fingertips, "Of course, you're not having a good time, even more than I can bear......"

Grandma Wang raised her hand in an interrupting gesture.

"I can't compare to you, you are thriving, I am better than death. Everyone shouldn't be involved in the first place, and we've wasted a lot of time delaying each other over the years. I'm old, I don't have a few days to live, so I think this is the end of it. ”

Lu Meiqin finally couldn't help it, and asked, "What kind of angry words are you talking about, don't take revenge?" ”

Grandma Wang's attitude is still tough.

"I want to report, but I don't have the ability, I can't force it, I might as well raise Sang'er well, and I can count it as dedicated."

"Hey." Lu Meiqin sighed, and when she saw the waiter coming with water, she stopped talking, and rubbed her knuckles vigorously.

Grandma Wang took the water and took out a silk scarf from her bag.

Lu Meiqin raised her head and looked at her puzzled.

"Forget, the last time you came out of my house, you said you used it to cover your face."

"Oh yes, but I don't remember giving it back to you."

"You've lost it...... The little girl next door picked it up. ”

"Yang Qianye! Where did she pick it up, in the apartment? ”

"What do you think?" Grandma Wang asked rhetorically, her eyes full of distrust.

"Didn't you lose it in the apartment?"

"Then I'll have to ask where you've been."

"Where have I been, where have I been...... Yes! Lu Meiqin suddenly opened her mouth wide, looking like she suddenly realized, "I remember, it's not an apartment, I still tied it to the cemetery a few days ago." ”

"I guessed correctly, that girl must have also gone to worship Shangguan Yu, no wonder she picked it up."

Grandma Wang lifted the silk scarf and trembled, and a humming sound came from under her nose.

"Speaking of Brother Shangguan, I still can't believe it. After all these years, I may be able to endure it a lot...... I've always felt that he was a friend of the same enemy as me, but he didn't expect to be sick and didn't tell me. It's me who I'm sorry for him, I'm so useless. ”

Lu Meiqin burst into tears as she spoke, but Grandma Wang looked at her unmoved.

"I don't know if you're shedding your own tears or San'er's tears."

"Mother Wang, don't say that."

"Shangguan Yu is not sick, it is an excuse made up by the person who killed him."

"What, he didn't kill himself?"

Grandma Wang was silent, seemingly reluctant to mention more.

Lu Meiqin hurriedly took out a tissue to wipe away her tears, grabbed her hand and pleaded: "Mother Wang, what's going on?" ”

Grandma Wang ruthlessly withdrew her hand, and the whole person immediately fell into a deep sense of self-blame.

"I hurt him, I should be involved, and everyone may have a better chance of winning together."

"What the hell are you talking about, what are the odds, why can't I understand?"

"He wanted to kill He Zhanting, but failed, and then he died."

The cold and helpless description came out of Grandma Wang's mouth, and Lu Meiqin almost fell from her seat.

"Kill He Zhanting...... You went to Shangguan Yu, what did you tell him? ”

Grandma Wang's eyes were moist, her mouth was deflated, and after a moment of silence, she replied, "I told him that the murderer was He Zhanting." ”

Lu Meiqin got up suddenly, looking serious as if she was about to scold, but after staring at Grandma Wang for three seconds, she sat back calmly.

Grandma Wang continued: "The murderer is He Zhanting, you don't believe it, we two old guys have to do it ourselves." However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes and failed, and the bastard took Shangguan Yu's life, and created the illusion that the terminally ill old man committed suicide. ”

"You're crazy!" Lu Meiqin lowered her voice and scolded.

"It's crazy, it's better to be crazy than to die like this."

"How many times have I said that it's not He Zhanting, it's not He Zhanting, how can you believe it?" She slapped the table excitedly, attracting the sideways glances of others, so she took a deep breath and swallowed her saliva heavily, "Killed Shangguan Yu in vain, now you are satisfied." ”

"It's He Zhanting, that's right, we have evidence!"

"What evidence?"

Two full tears jumped out of Grandma Wang's eyes.

"There is a poem in Chocolate's message to Yang Qianye, and this poem is proof. One year, Shangguan Luoluo and He Zhanting's daughter won the gold and silver medals respectively in the middle school essay competition, He Zhanting was very happy, gave each of them a gold pen, and specially engraved words on it...... Shangguan Yu remembered it clearly. The one that fell was engraved with this poem, and it was unpretentious all over the world, and it was born for thousands of years. ”

Grandma Wang's expression was very firm, but Lu Meiqin just asked coldly: "And then, what can it mean?" ”

"It's not clear, the spearhead is directed at He Zhanting! Besides, why do you have to stuff Yang Qianye into the company owned by Ogu, isn't all this enough to prove that Chocolate is leading the direction to the surname He? ”

Lu Meiqin took out a cigarette and lit it, and took a slow and helpless breath.

"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous." She was so angry that she leaned into her seat, a pair of eyebrows locked tightly, "If I can find out the murderer with just one sentence, I won't be busy all these years." ”

Grandma Wang sneered: "You haven't worked in vain, aren't you climbing up the gold and silver mountains?" ”

"Do you really think that I only want to make money and throw the blood feud out of the clouds?"

"Only you know best."

"Mama Wang, let me say it again, He Zhanting is not the person we are looking for. If you continue to be obsessed, you will only get farther and farther away from the truth. You shouldn't have gone through Yang Qianye's things, you were misled by that irrelevant information. ”

"Why don't you say it's He Zhanting, just because he's your client now, your God?" Grandma Wang said provocatively, a green tendon in front of her temple burst out, "I don't make judgments just based on Yang Qianye's things, to tell you the truth, I'm not idle." After several rounds, we found a person who worked in the hotel back then, and they saw with their own eyes that He Zhanting had been in the guest room that day. ”

Lu Meiqin closed her eyes in pain, disappointed in this "ally".

"You are stupid and stupid with Guan Yu, what do you want me to say." She opened her tiger mouth and rubbed her temples, and her initial apology to Grandma Wang was gone, replaced by a heavy look of physical and mental exhaustion, "Do you remember Shangguan Yu's wife?" ”

Grandma Wang frowned. "Remember, I've been dead a long time ago, what's it called......"

"It doesn't matter what it's called, remember how she died?"

"It seems that I heard Shangguan Yu say that he was angry and died."

That's right, his wife wanted to make a windfall in her early years, and invested all her savings in a lending company, thinking that she would make a million profits every month. Unexpectedly, the financial crisis occurred the next year, and a large number of lending companies ran away with money and lost all their money. She is used to being diligent and thrifty, and she is reluctant to use it to save food and drink, but she didn't expect all her belongings to be wasted like this, and she was so angry that she was bedridden. Shangguan Yu not only didn't blame her, but also persuaded her to be relieved, but the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she died of illness not long after. ”

"What does this have to do with He Zhanting?"

Lu Meiqin shook her head: "It has nothing to do with He Zhanting, it has something to do with his mistress." ”

"Mistress, which mistress, that bastard * so many mistresses......"

"Listen to me. The woman's name is Manying, and she was the one who invested in Shangguan Yu's wife, and then she hid and didn't dare to show up when something happened. On the day of Shangguan Luoluo's accident, she was waiting for He Zhanting in the hotel room. During that time, she pressed He Zhanting very hard, and she liked to make a little bit of a young lady's temper, so she went to the banquet regardless of the occasion, and was almost not bumped into by He Zhanting's wife. He Zhanting arranged her in the guest room, and quietly went up to have a private meeting with her just after the banquet, which had nothing to do with Shangguan Luoluo's death. ”

"How do you know this?" Grandma Wang seemed to realize something crucial, and her voice trembled a little.

"You can't imagine how many things I've done behind my back, if you listen to the wind and rain like you, I don't know how many people have been stabbed with knives over the years. I happened to know this Manying, and it was my business partner for a while. She and He Zhanting have long since lost their relationship over the years, but she still shuddes every time she thinks of what happened that day. She told me these things personally, and I didn't say it, not because I wanted to hide it, but because I didn't want to irritate Shangguan, he was already bitter enough. She smiled helplessly, feeling sorry for Grandma Wang's self-made cleverness and Shangguan Yu's vain sacrifice.

Grandma Wang was stunned and heard the sound of her heart bursting.

"Also, if the person you are looking for is He Zhanting, then he must know that I am Meiling's sister, how can he be willing to make such a big deal with me and sign such a big contract?"

She lit another cigarette, but this time she just watched in amazement as the cigarette butt slowly burned, and a wisp of green smoke spiraled upwards like a thread.

Grandma Wang turned her head to the side, trying not to cry too loudly. After a while, she was no longer aggressive but said with deep feelings: "Meiqin, I'm old, I don't have a few days left, I will die at home one day, don't worry, it must be the same as Shangguan Yu's death in public opinion, with a dead despair to break it off." You don't understand how cold the hearts of people at our age are, and it is no longer a determination to take revenge to warm them. I don't want to argue about who is wrong this time, but I have a piece of advice for you, I hope you will do it yourself. No matter how deep the truth is hidden, there will always be a day when the truth will come out, but if you have to cover your heart, it is impossible to keep the clouds open and see the moon in this life. ”

Lu Meiqin knew that this was criticizing her growing selfish desires, and she neither wanted to deny nor admit it.

"Mother Wang, I know what you want to say, but some things are not what you think. I'm busy making money, but I haven't lost my money yet. Regarding revenge, I have never forgotten and dare not forget, but I don't want to jump to conclusions recklessly, lest I startle the snake. ”

Grandma Wang smiled calmly and stood up.

"We're all going crazy, let's do it ourselves." After saying that, he walked out.

Lu Meiqin slowly closed her eyes, her upper and lower eyelids closed together, and an indescribable pain hit her heart.
