Chapter 57: Wedding Invitation
Cheng Han has been by Feng Yao's side during this time, helping her arrange Xiaobao's affairs, including the funeral later. Looking at the haggard Feng Yao, Cheng Han felt that he saw the appearance of his parents when Cheng Xu left.
It's just that they waited until the verdict of the case was pronounced before they saw 'Cheng Xu' again. The original vivid child was left with a cold body, and even the body had Y-shaped scars left by the planer. Cheng Han went to take Cheng Xu home by herself at that time, because she really didn't want her parents to experience such pain again, but she could never forget the collapse when she saw Cheng Xu again.
Feng Yao stood in front of Xiaobao's grave, holding his favorite toy in his hand. She cut Xiaobao's clothes and made them into small clothes for the toy to wear. There is a son's smell on the clothes, and a son's smell on the toys, as if Xiaobao has never left him.
"Cheng Han, thank you for always being with me, you're tired too, go back and rest quickly."
"Is it okay for you to be alone?"
She smiled reluctantly, "It's okay, life has to go on, isn't it." At first, I thought that my sky was going to fall without Xiaobao, and I thought it would be better to leave with him. However, later I figured out that my identity is not only Xiaobao's mother, but also the daughter of my parents. They're getting older, and if something happens to me, their genius really collapses. I'm no longer living for myself, it was for Xiaobao, and now it's for my parents. Think of it as some far-fetched excuse for myself to live in this world. ”
Yes, people's roles are never single, even if their hearts are scarred, they still have to bandage themselves and move forward with injuries.
"Do you want me to take you home first? The weather forecast says there will be snow in a while. ”
Although Feng Yao said so, Cheng Han still couldn't rest assured. Feng Yao took Cheng Han's hand and rubbed it a few times to reassure her, "My parents are already on their way here, I'll wait for them here and accompany them." I'll be fine, don't worry. ”
"Okay, then if you have anything, call me."
"Don't worry, I know."
After getting Feng Yao's assurance, Cheng Han left the cemetery. For Feng Yao, she always had an unexplained sense of guilt in her heart, perhaps because she thought that everything Feng Yao was experiencing now was her own fault.
If she hadn't been so paranoid about involving Feng Yao in the first place, maybe none of these things would have happened. If she had let it go earlier, maybe it wouldn't hurt anyone.
However, Cheng Han has hatred in his heart, there is no doubt about it. For so many years, she has been trying to find a breakthrough to vent her hatred, and now that she has finally found it, how can she give up.
She was very confused now, and she wanted to find someone to talk to, but looking at the number in the address book, Cheng Han's movements hesitated. It turns out that the saddest thing is not that there is no one around, but that when you want to talk, you have too many concerns.
Professor Wang definitely can't say it, after all, she knows all about her out-of-the-ordinary ideas and plans. If she knew now that she had planned this matter again, she was afraid that there would be another series of treatments.
And Xiao Rongzheng, he does have a lot of good feelings for him. However, the dark side that he has been buried in his heart does not want to let him know so early. After all, he is such an upright person, how can he accept his girlfriend with a dark heart when the time comes.
Cheng Han sat in the car, holding the steering wheel in a daze, and the mobile phone on the side still didn't make a call. Just then, the phone rang first.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Cheng Han? I'm Xue Sanxin. On the other end of the line was a somewhat high-pitched female voice.
"Xue Sanxin?" Cheng Han reacted, "Oh~ It turned out to be Sanxin, we haven't seen each other for nearly ten years." How to find me for something? ”
"Well, I'm getting married next Saturday, and the wedding is taking place in my uncle's villa on the island. We used to be good friends in high school, and you've always been my uncle's psychiatrist, so I wanted to invite you to the wedding. Also, you can bring a companion with you. ”
"Your uncle? Could he be Xue Nanguo? Cheng Han was a little surprised, this was all when he was working abroad. She never imagined that her high school classmates, who she hadn't seen for many years, would find her in this way.
"Yes, that's him. My uncle was so full of praise for you that when he came back, he wasn't happy with the psychiatrists. By the way, when you come to the wedding, can you stop by and talk to your uncle, who hasn't been in a good mood lately. ”
Cheng Han suddenly realized, this makes sense.
"No problem, next Saturday is January 18th, right, I'll be on time."
got Cheng Han's affirmative answer, and the other party hung up the phone satisfied. And Cheng Han dialed Xiao Rongzheng's phone without a trace of hesitation.
"Hanhan, what's wrong?" His deep voice was like a reassuring pill, which calmed Cheng Han's originally impetuous heart.
"Ah Zheng, do you have time next Saturday?"
"Next Saturday?" Xiao Rongzheng looked at his duty schedule and said regretfully, "It's unfortunate, I'm on duty next Saturday." What's wrong? ”
"Well, it's nothing, it's just that a classmate was holding a wedding on the island and I wanted to take you to it. If you don't have time, forget it, work is important! ”
Xiao Rongzheng heard the loss in her tone, but things like being on duty are arranged in advance, although he can change shifts, but he can only stay in City A, on call at any time, in case of accidents.
"Hanhan, I'm really sorry."
"What's this, it's your job, it's business. But you'll have to compensate me. ”
Cheng Han deliberately said it lightly, just to prevent Xiao Rongzheng from working hard without burden. She is not the kind of girl who needs her boyfriend by her side all the time, and his company is the icing on the cake, but even if she doesn't, it won't affect anything. This kind of thoughtfulness in her eyes is a different scene in Xiao Rongzheng's eyes.
"Okay, then when you come back, how about I show you my hand? You haven't tasted my craft yet! ”
Although she felt a little uncomfortable with Cheng Han letting go of this matter too quickly, it seemed that she would always be rational and would not make trouble for herself. However, he quickly adjusted his mood and pretended that everything was fine.
"That's a good idea! Then I'll order some dishes that are a little difficult! ”
"No problem, we'll see you later?"
"Of course, I'll see you in Zou Ji later. I just went to pick up Wang Yue, so we don't have to go home to wash the dishes when we eat out. ”
"I'll see you later!"
Cheng Han hung up the phone, leaned on the back of the seat, and let out a long sigh. Xiao Rongzheng can't leave, so don't talk about Xu Ranran. Although it is not impossible for her to go alone, she is afraid of this kind of scene of facing an unfamiliar environment alone.
Sometimes, Cheng Han can disguise herself as a variety of personalities, but deep down, she really doesn't like this kind of completely unfamiliar scene, and even if she can, she sometimes doesn't even want to go out of the house, let alone go around a group of strangers.
Deal with? Suddenly, a perfect candidate appeared in her mind. Cheng Han sat up straight and dialed Yu Helin's phone.
"Hey, Hanhan, oh my God, why did you remember to call me?"
Yu Helin on the other end of the phone was a little surprised, but more of a surprise.
"Helin, can you accompany me to a wedding next Saturday? I'll help you reimburse your airfare and accommodation. ”
"Hey, what are you talking about, you tell me the address, and I'll arrange it. Everything is guaranteed to be perfect! ”
Hearing that it was to attend the wedding, Yu Helin already understood everything. When the two of them were roommates, she often took Cheng Han to participate in some social activities to help her deal with people who wanted to take advantage. Now, I feel like I was in college.
"Well, we'll see you next Saturday."
Although City A is in the freezing cold at the moment, the weather on the island is diametrically opposite. As soon as he got off the plane, a wave of heat came to his face, and even if he was only wearing a thin long-sleeved shirt, Cheng Han felt that his sweat was running down his back.
She and Yu Helin squeezed into the dressing room with the grandmothers of a tour group, changing into ginger chiffon dresses and wearing white wide-brimmed hats to shield them from the harsh sun. In this way, it really has a bit of an island resort feel.
Compared with Cheng Han's resort style, Yu Helin wrapped her head in a silk scarf, casually put on a short-sleeved shirt, and wore shorts and high heels.
She looked at Cheng Han's outfit and nodded with satisfaction, "Look at it, how beautiful it looks to wear such a bright color, you will have to wear more in the future." Let's go, our car is over here. ”
As he spoke, he took the suitcase in Cheng Han's hand and led the way in front.
The two got out of the airport and walked to a Rolls-Royce parked on the side of the road, and two big men wearing island-style floral shirts and sunglasses got out of the car, respectfully took their luggage and escorted them into the car.
"Helin, aren't they the two bodyguards you had in City A?"
These two poker faces, Cheng Han is really impressed.
"Of course, they've been here a week in advance. Hanhan, you don't really think that I'm going to let you go to a completely unknown place. Okay, let's have some cold coconut jelly, our hotel will be there in a moment. ”
Yu Helin picked up a big coconut, took a spoon and began to eat, and couldn't stop admiring, "Sure enough, you should eat these cold cold drinks in summer, it's just too good." ”
Cheng Han looked at her and said in his heart that it was fake not to be moved. If it were herself, she might just book a random hotel, but Yu Helin thought it so thoroughly.
She picked up her coconut jelly and gently touched it in Yu Helin's hand, "Looking forward to a good holiday for us!" ”
On the way to the hotel, Cheng Han stuck his head on the car window and enjoyed the scenery on both sides of the road. Unlike poplars, which are used as street trees in the north, there are tall palm trees and coconut trees, which look like an island from a distance. Even the sky here is blue, with dark clouds.
With a beautiful view in his eyes, his mood gradually brightened.
It's just that there are more natural scenery, and some infrastructure is lagging behind. The hotel they booked was the highest standard on the island, but when they arrived, they found that it was less than half of the 'supreme'.
Although Yu Helin is casual about everything, she is very picky about accommodation. At this moment, she was sitting sullenly on Cheng Han's bed, sighing non-stop.
Cheng Han couldn't stand her sigh every second, and asked, "Why haven't you gone back to the room to pack your luggage?" ”
"The room here is too small, I'm really not interested. It's all those two, I'm going to deduct their wages when I go back! ”
She was a little angry.
Cheng Han smiled and comforted, "If you don't want to sleep in your room, then let's squeeze the two of us, and look back on the past roommate years." ”
"Really?" Yu Helin's eyes lit up suddenly, "You can't regret it!" ”
After speaking, she flew to her room, packed her luggage, and moved to Cheng Han's room with a large bag, not giving her any room for regret.
Cheng Han shook his head with a smile, just wanted to laugh at her, but was disturbed by the ringtone of his mobile phone. An unfamiliar number was displayed on the screen, and she hesitated for a moment, but picked it up anyway.
"Hello?"
"Doctor Cheng, it's me, Xue Nanguo." A neutral male voice came from the phone.
"Mr. Xue, how did you know my phone number?" Cheng Han was a little surprised.
The other party chuckled a few times and continued, "I got your phone number from my niece, and I want to tell you something in person, can you tell me your current address?" After all, after so many years, I still think that you, a psychiatrist, are the most reliable. ”
"Haha, I'm staying at a luxury hotel now, can I meet at the café in half an hour?"
"Of course, we'll see you later."
Cheng Han hung up the phone, looked at Yu Helin, who was rolling around with the quilt, and instructed, "Helin, I'll go out now, can you clean up here by yourself first?" ”
"Huh? Where are you going? She got up from the bed with a carp and looked at Cheng Han with blazing eyes.
"It's the uncle of the heroine of the wedding that will be attended tomorrow, an old acquaintance who wants to reminisce about the old."
"Then, I'll go with you! I promise to sit far away and not disturb you! She pulled Cheng Han's arm and shook it until Cheng Han couldn't stand it anymore and reluctantly agreed.
The hotel's café is connected to the cafeteria, but because it is not yet time to eat, there are no diners, only the chefs are busy preparing the ingredients for dinner, and you can smell the aroma of food from afar.
Cheng Han found a place by the window, ordered a cup of hand-ground coffee, enjoyed the scenery outside the window, and waited. Yu Helin really sat far away as she said, ordered a French toast, and while eating, she always paid attention to Cheng Han's movements.
"Doctor Cheng, it's been a long time!" A MIDDLE-AGED MAN IN A SHORT-SLEEVED POLO SHIRT WALKED OVER AND STRETCHED OUT HIS HAND EXCITEDLY.
On his hands are a large gold chain and a Rolex Black Water Ghost watch, and around his neck is a Buddhist medallion strung with a gold chain. The whole body is worth a lot of money.
Cheng Han stretched out his hand and shook it, "Mr. Xue, it's been a long time. Do you have anything to drink? ”
Xue Nanguo waved his hand, "No need, it's already afternoon, if I drink coffee, I won't be able to sleep at night." But Dr. Cheng, your habit of drinking coffee hasn't changed for so many years. ”
"Okay, what are you looking for me this time?"
Cheng Han was really a little curious, after all, she didn't feel how irreplaceable she was, and there must be other reasons why a businessman like Xue Nanguo found her.
"Haha, Doctor Cheng, you are really direct, I won't go around the bend with you about that little old man."
Xue Nanguo took a sip of water, waved his hand and motioned for the bodyguard who followed behind to step aside, and then entered the topic, "Doctor Cheng, you also know that I am in the technology business and believe in science, so naturally I don't believe in those gods and ghosts. However, for several days on end, I felt that there was something strange in my house, as if something inexplicable had come in. ”
"Do you suspect that you are hallucinating because of your unstable mental condition?"
"At first I had this speculation because I asked everyone and they didn't see the 'dirty stuff', only I saw it, and I thought I was hallucinating again.
However, the day before yesterday, I found out that the will I had just revised was missing, and I felt that this matter was not so simple. I heard that Dr. Cheng is in contact with the police station now, so I thought you would come and help me investigate this matter. Find out who's doing it! ”
