Chapter Eighty-Nine: Incognito
After Lin Yuxue's accident, Sister Li left the villa in Huochiguan, but she also declined Mei Yan's kindness to keep her in Mei's house, and resigned and returned to the countryside.
When Mei Yanhu suspiciously picked up the call from an unfamiliar number, she was preparing lunch for Mei You in the kitchen, when she heard Lin Yuxue's voice on the other end of the phone, the glass bowl filled with beaten egg liquid in her hand fell to the ground, and for a while, the egg liquid and glass shards splashed around.
Mei You was startled, and turned around, only to find that Mei Yan had covered her mouth, and her exposed eyes had turned red.
"Brother, Yuxue, it's Yuxue!"
The emotions in Mei You's eyes fluctuated violently, and he also put down the things in his hand, and reached out to take Mei Yan's mobile phone: "Yuxue? ”
Lin Yuxue on the other end heard a familiar voice that she hadn't heard for a long time, and she couldn't cry, but when she told them that her current situation was good, she still didn't forget to remind Huo Chiguan not to know.
When Mei You heard this, Huo Chiguan's dejected appearance since Lin Yuxue's disappearance flashed in his mind, and he hesitated for a few seconds, but immediately responded.
What about Huo Chiguan's sadness, the tragedy that happened to Yuxue itself was caused by him.
After learning the news of Lin Yuxue, the two brothers and sisters of Meiyan and Meiyou were still in the mood to do other things, asked the location clearly, and immediately drove there, and three hours later, they came to the Linhai fishing village where Lin Yuxue was.
Lin Yuxue was already standing at the head of the village waiting, and when she saw the car of the two of them driving over from a distance, she hurriedly waved her hand.
As soon as the car stopped, Mei Yan almost rushed out of the car, threw herself into Lin Yuxue's arms, and hugged her tightly: "Yuxue!" You bad girl! Don't tell me where the hell you are for so long! ”
Lin Yuxue also wet her eyes, with a smile on her face, but she couldn't speak for a while. However, Mei You was still relatively calm, walked over after parking the car, looked Lin Yuxue up and down, and found that she had no traces of injuries on her body except for being a little darker and thinner, so she was secretly relieved.
took the two back to Aunt Chen's house, and Lin Yuxue finally had the opportunity to tell them everything from beginning to end, which made Mei Yan burst into tears and snot.
Mei You grabbed a point in Lin Yuxue's words: "You mean, the safety lock is locked by Huo Chiguan, isn't it locked all the time?" ”
Lin Yuxue nodded, recalling in her mind the fear and panic she felt when she couldn't open the door, and she couldn't help but be afraid for a while.
Mei You frowned, and suddenly understood the reason for Huo Chiguan's deep self-blame during this time. Lin Yuxue obviously had a chance not to fall into the sea, but she almost lost her life because of a move by Huo Chiguan, if it were him, I am afraid that he would also look like a lost soul.
Mei Yan looked around, saw the furnishings in Aunt Chen's house and the scene in the yard, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Since we found you, go back with us today!" As for where we're going, let's go back first and discuss it again! ”
Lin Yuxue shook her head: "I've thought about it, I'll stay here." As for what happens after that, we'll see later. ”
Staying in this small fishing village, away from Huochiguan, you can also stay away from all right and wrong.
Mei Yan and Mei You couldn't resist Lin Yuxue's insistence, so they had to agree with her idea, but Mei Yan was worried that Lin Yuxue would not be used to living in this small house, so she took Mei You to the city to buy a lot of things, so she could barely put her mind at ease.
In this meeting, except for explaining to Mei Yan and Mei You how she fell into the sea, Lin Yuxue never mentioned the word Huo Chiguan again from beginning to end, and Mei Yan and Mei Yan tacitly did not mention it.
Being able to leave Huochiguan and start a new life again is their greatest expectation for Lin Yuxue now, including herself.
Aunt Chen's house can't accommodate so many people, and the nearest hotel from here is more than ten kilometers away, Mei Yan stayed until nine o'clock in the evening, and then she was reluctant to get into the car under Mei You's reminder, and made an appointment with Lin Yuxue to come every half a month in the future.
Standing at the entrance of the village and watching Mei You's car drift away, Lin Yuxue slowly paced towards Aunt Chen's house. Inadvertently, Lin Yuxue looked up at the sky, and was pleasantly surprised to see the stars twinkling all over the sky, and couldn't help but exhale softly.
Seeing these stars, Lin Yuxue's mind suddenly thought of the pearls raised by Aunt Chen, and in the next second, she thought of what she should do and could do in the coming days.
If she wants to continue her studies or do jewelry design, pearls are just a ready-made material!
Thinking of this, Lin Yuxue suddenly turned around, and sped up her steps and ran in the direction of Aunt Chen's house.
Although this small fishing village near the sea mainly makes a living from fishing, due to its good ecology, there are often some tourists from other places who come to play and experience the scenery of fishermen. There are many families in the fishing village who cultivate pearls and the quality of pearls is good, so most tourists will also buy some unprocessed pearls as souvenirs when they leave.
Lin Yuxue told Aunt Chen and Xiao Chen about her thoughts, and Aunt Chen said that tourists often ask if there are any processed pearl jewelry, but they are all native fishermen, and it is difficult for them to raise pearls and fish, but they have nothing to do about processing pearl jewelry.
Xiao Chen was very interested in Lin Yuxue's idea, and the two hit it off and decided to let Lin Yuxue give it a try.
Making pearl jewelry by hand requires some tools, so Lin Yuxue asked Mei You to help find it the next time she came over, and she began to conceive the design of pearl jewelry.
In the past, when Meishuang was the chief designer of the jewelry line of the Lin Group, because the group's jewelry line took the high-end route, it did not design and produce pearl jewelry with relatively down-to-earth prices in terms of materials and finished products. Now Lin Yuxue is trying to design and hand-make pearl jewelry, which can be regarded as a small breakthrough.
With the support of Mei You and Aunt Chen's family, a month later, Lin Yuxue's fishing village specialty shop "Fisherman's Memory" officially opened. The shop is located on the main road outside the village, and there are local fish and shrimp shops nearby, because her small shop has attracted onlookers as soon as it opens.
Although the name of the store is called "Fisherman's Memory", Lin Yuxue does not have many things on the shelves, except for the dried fish and shrimp that have been prepared, only raw pearls and some pearl jewelry that she has already made.
Lin Yuxue designed several earrings, necklaces and bracelets, with exquisite styles but low prices, and even the women in the village who came to see the excitement were full of praise. In the first week after the shop opened, there were not many tourists, but more people from the fishing village.
In addition to jewelry, Lin Yuxue tried to design pearl keychains, which are more practical than jewelry and are also popular among tourists. Gradually, tourists who came to the fishing village liked to buy pearl souvenirs in her small shop, which greatly increased the income of Aunt Chen's family, and Lin Yuxue also felt that life was very fulfilling. Later, Lin Yuxue simply rented a bungalow not far from the shop, which was not only a workshop and warehouse for hand-making pearls, but also a place where she lived.
Mei You and Mei Yan come very regularly, they come every two weeks, and once they brought Sister Li with them. Sister Li was worried that Lin Yuxue would not be able to bear it, so she offered to stay and help her, but Lin Yuxue also refused.
In her opinion, although life in a small fishing village is ordinary, it can gradually calm her heart. Maybe she will return to City A after living here for a year and a half.
Soon it was the weekend to meet Lin Yuxue again, Mei Yan and Mei You got up early as usual, went to the time-honored breakfast shop near A University to buy a few servings of Lin Yuxue's favorite beef brisket and rice noodles, and drove to the highway in G City.
Neither of them noticed that behind their car, there was a black sedan, which had been following them from the moment they left the house.
The person sitting in the car was Huo Chiguan.
Lu Tezhu drove the car, looked at Mei You's car in front of him, and couldn't help but say: "Huo Shao, you asked me to pay attention to Mei You's movements before, I found that Mei You's two siblings will go to G City together every half a month, and I just suspect that they have found the young lady, but is it specific, we haven't checked it yet, is it appropriate to go over like this today?" ”
After speaking, Lu Tezhu couldn't help but glance at Huo Chiguan from the rearview mirror.
Huo Chiguan's eyes suppressed thick emotions, but his voice was calm: "Today is to seek verification." ”
It has been three months since Lin Yuxue fell into the sea and disappeared. In the past three months, he struggled to withdraw from the emotion of losing Lin Yuxue, but he has not been able to do so, and the scene where he locked the safety lock with his own hands was also like a nightmare, appearing in his dreams over and over again.
Now that there is news that it may be that Lin Yuxue is still alive, how can he wait any longer?
Hearing this, Lu Tezhu thought about Huo Chiguan and pushed down the project negotiation meeting with an amount of hundreds of millions in order to go to G City in person, but he was silently silenced.
He has been with Huo Chiguan for five years, and it was only after Lin Yuxue appeared that he had seen Huo Chiguan abandon business cooperation for the sake of women.
His instincts told him that it wasn't a good thing.
"Keep up." Lu Tezhu was slightly distracted, and the throttle under his feet loosened a little. Huo Chiguan noticed that the distance between them and Mei You was getting bigger and bigger, glanced at Lu Tezhu, and said coldly.
Lu Tezhu came back to his senses and immediately chased after Mei Yu's car in front of him.
The car drove for about three hours, and when Mei You's car drove to the door of Lin Yuxue's small shop, Lin Yuxue was busy in the store.
This month is the "Southern Coast Tourism Festival" held throughout G City, and the number of tourists who come to G City from all over the country and even from abroad has increased dramatically, and the popularity of small fishing villages has also increased suddenly.
The goods that were originally expected to be sold in half a month were sold short in just one week, and Lin Yuxue could only work overtime in the past few days to catch up with the production, so that her small shop was not "temporarily closed".
Seeing Lin Yuxue's busy and happy appearance through the crowd, Mei You and Mei Yan were sincerely happy for her, and did not step forward to disturb her for the time being.
Across the road behind Mei You and the others, Huo Chiguan, who was sitting in the back row, was separated by a distance of nearly ten meters, and finally saw the person who haunted him.
