Chapter 70: The Emptying of Minds

Mo Yuanzhao was on his way home, and for some reason, he actually drove the car to a private house on the outskirts of the city. More than ten years ago, it was still a relatively remote civilian area, where Mo Yuanzhao was hit by a truck that suddenly rushed out, and the car he drove was instantly knocked far away, and Mo Yuanzhao was squeezed in the deformed car and died on the spot. In this car accident, there was also an innocent woman passing by and the truck driver who caused the accident at the same time. According to the results of on-site exploration, when the car accident occurred, the innocent woman who was killed happened to pass by Mo Yuanzhao's car, so when the truck hit it rapidly, she couldn't dodge at all, and was pushed by Mo Yuanzhao's car and rolled under the wheels, and the person died on the spot. And the driver of the truck that caused the accident, under the huge impact of the collision between the two vehicles, the whole person flew out of the broken windshield, and the person also died on the spot. The tragedy fifteen years ago was a sensation, but because there were no cameras installed on that remote road, and there were no witnesses nearby to provide clues, the police could only make judgments based on the situation at the scene, and finally concluded from the truck's faulty brakes and the situation at the scene: Mo Yuanzhao parked illegally, the truck's brakes failed, he couldn't dodge, the two cars collided, the drivers of both cars died on the spot, and an innocent passer-by was also involved, and the tragedy was finally characterized as a traffic accident.

The summer of that year was undoubtedly dark for the people of the Mo family, and the untimely death of the Mo family's son also caused an uproar in the business world. At that time, Ye Tianze, who was only eight years old, followed his mother and stepfather to the Mo family's ancestral house to attend the funeral. At the funeral, he saw Mo Yinxi for the first time, behind the staircase that no one was paying attention to.

At the funeral, the adults were busy, the family was busy taking care of the guests, the people who came to mourn were busy comforting and regretting, and the people were busy running about themselves, and no one noticed that there was a person sitting in the corner of the stairs. The old house of the Mo family is a villa, there is a spiral staircase winding up in the house, behind the spiral staircase, there is a not big space, right there, sitting a little girl who is only four years old, wearing a dirty little pink skirt, holding her knees alone, sitting quietly and helplessly in the corner, with tears in her eyes, staring blankly at the people coming and going in the living room in a daze. That girl was Mo Yinxi, she seemed to be very frightened, afraid of everyone around her. She looked at the whole room like a stranger, as if she were in this house for the first time. Her unkempt face was indeed incompatible with the opulence and sophistication of this room.

After the young Ye Tianze saw Mo Yinxi, he could no longer take his eyes off the girl in front of him, he saw a familiar strangeness in her eyes, as if everything that troubled him had nothing to do with him.

It's like me. Ye Tianze secretly thought in his heart, we are all the same humble, the same helpless, the same grievances, and the same incompatibility.

Ye Tianze has been marrying into the Jiang family with his mother for two years, and in the past two years, he has had a difficult time. should have been a carefree age, but he had to be slandered and cursed by everyone, which was unimaginable to ordinary people, but made him grow up very quickly. Mrs. Ye was deeply favored by the third child of the Jiang family, and the servants did not dare to make a mistake to her, so the servants targeted him at the young man. As long as his stepfather and mother are not there, the servants in the family will blatantly talk about him and denounce him, saying that he and his mother are vampires, demons who have come to take away everything from the young master of the Jiang family.

Therefore, when Ye Tianze saw Mo Yinxi, he seemed to see himself, and a sense of intimacy and self-pity arose. At that moment, he secretly swore that he must grow up quickly, make himself stronger as soon as possible, and when he grows strong enough, he will definitely come to marry her, and he will definitely protect this girl, this poor girl like a little rabbit. 

In the living room at this moment, everyone was looking at Ye Tianze, waiting for him to continue, including Mo Yinxi, she never thought that she had known him before, when he was eight years old. He was four years older than her, he was only four years old when he was eight years old, and when he was four years old, it was when her father died, her memory seemed to only start from the age of four, and the memories before the age of four were empty, so her memory of her father was always a two-dimensional image formed through photographs.

Mo Yuanming sat on the sofa for a long time, and he looked at the people in the room as if he was watching a good show. He is different from others, he is not interested in Ye Tianze's eight-year-old matter, in fact, at this moment he no longer cares about what they say, the effect he wants to cause has been achieved, Ye Tianze is no longer as biased towards Lin Xiaoyao and Mo Haoxi as he was just now, the crack has been formed, it is not easy to fill it, as long as Ye Tianze's feelings for Mo Yinxi are true, then he will not let Mo Yinxi be treated differently for so many years, and he will definitely ask for an explanation for her.

He raised his eyes to look at Lin Xiaoyao who was sitting opposite, and saw her anxious and forbearing, he was secretly happy in his heart, although he really wanted to continue to stay and watch the play, it must be very interesting to watch a room of people "dog eat dog", but he knew in his heart that as long as he was present, Lin Xiaoyao would not quarrel with Ye Tianze, without a quarrel, Ye Tianze would not be able to attack, if this matter is not resolved, it will be a waste of his hard work. So he was ready to add another fire while it was hot, and then pull away, waiting for the matter to escalate into an irresolvable contradiction between the two sides, so that he could "benefit from it".

Mo Yuanming showed an embarrassed expression to Ye Tianze, and then he changed to a sincere and sincere tone and started his performance, "Virtuous son-in-law, I don't want to provoke the feelings between you and your mother-in-law, don't take it too seriously, but don't get into trouble with your mother-in-law, that's all in the past." I'm just simply distressed about the tide girl, this girl's life is hard, her father died when she was a child, and she is always not treated well, and she has suffered so much, which is really distressing. But now it's okay, since the tide girl is blessed to meet you, then she will have a backer in the future, and she will never be bullied again. Haha, I'm just worrying about it. Seeing that it will be getting late, I will say goodbye first, your family must still have something to say, you say, you say, you don't have to send me. ”

A room full of people were still sitting in place, and no one got up to see him off, everyone just watched him, watching Mo Yuanming walk out of the villa alone while being polite to them. In this process, even Steward Wang, who was standing in the house, did not move a bit.

At this time, the atmosphere in the living room was very delicate, everyone didn't speak, everyone looked at Mo Yinxi, she didn't say a word from beginning to end, but everything was related to her.

Mo Yinxi's state at the moment can be described by the word "collapse". When she first arrived at the old mansion, she overheard a conversation between her mother and brother, and the amount of information in it was so large that she couldn't imagine it. However, before she could get rid of the shock, she was called to the study by her grandmother again, and a conversation with her grandmother made her feel deeply desperate and helpless. And at this time, the only man who can save all this is the person she is afraid of avoiding, Mo Yuanming's provocation just now made herself the target of public criticism, she never thought that things would develop like this. At this moment, the relationship between the people in the house has become extremely delicate, Mo Yinxi is empty at this moment, she began to show a state of inability to think seriously, everything passed through her ears, and she could no longer go deep into her mind, and she began to lose all the ability to process thinking. She panicked at her state at this time, and began to rejoice in her self-protection mechanism, she actually protected her own thoughts.
