Chapter 2: His Bottom Line
In the dark, Ye Tong huddled in the cage with herself, as cold as if she was in an ice cellar, and she barely slept until she couldn't support it in the middle of the night.
In a daze, a sharp sound pierced Ye Tong's eardrum.
"I'm still sleeping so late, I'm not here for you to enjoy, hurry up and get up and work." The maid used the key to open the cage's chain and kicked Hitomi Ha's calf.
She put the bucket outside, and the dusty rag was thrown directly into Ye Tong's face.
The sewage splashed into Ye Tong's slightly open mouth, his body was already freezing and shivering all night, and his weak body, which had just gotten up, fell back to the ground heavily.
The maid's sarcastic laughter faded away.
There was darkness and despair in her eyes, and she should have known that her father would never give her a trace of warmth.
As long as she lives, she will live and wait until she returns home, and her mother will be able to come out of the mental hospital, and she will take her mother with her when the time comes! Go to a place where no one can find and live a normal life!
The Xiao family is very large, and there are many rooms.
Ye Tong propped himself up, opened another room, and as soon as he entered his eyes, he was in a gloomy black tone.
I cleaned the rags and wiped the furniture one by one. Her slender white hands were badly wrinkled, she hadn't eaten for two days, and her whole body was frighteningly hot.
There were very few furnishings on the desk, Ye Tong's afterglow swept over the photo frame on the table, and when she saw the two people sitting next to each other inside, her eyes instantly darkened, and her hand subconsciously shrank back, and stepped on the roller of the swivel chair. He lost his balance and unexpectedly fell the heavy carpet.
A thick notebook smashed into her ankle.
She took a cold breath, tears already in the corners of her eyes, but she never cried.
This suffering is nothing compared to what I once suffered in a mental hospital......
Picking up the yellowed notebook, Ye Tong was just about to close it and put it back on the table, but he was suddenly attracted by the photo pasted on it.
The pupils suddenly constricted, and Ye Tong felt that her breath was suffocating, the person in this photo was the girl on the portrait she held at yesterday's wedding!
Ye Tong's fingers unconsciously clenched the book, turned the pages, glanced at it casually, and found that it was a diary.
At the age of nine, Xiao Jinming was kidnapped, and the orphan Ah Li rescued him who was carried out of the kidnappers and was dying.
After surviving for a month, he brought Ah Li back to the Xiao family together.
In order to protect Ah Li, Xiao Jinming usually let her stay in his room.
Until one day, Ah Li was suddenly seen by her eldest brother Ye Chen and forcibly taken away......
Turning back, Ye Tong's brows frowned deeper.
It's gone, this diary, written here, is gone?
So what happened in the first place? Why did the girl named Ah Li die?
Thinking about the question in his head, the sound of the door being opened suddenly sounded.
His face changed, and Ye Tong hurriedly got up and wanted to put the book back quickly, but was stopped by a cold voice.
"What's in your hand!"
Hearing the sound, Ye Tong looked at Xiao Jinming at the door in shock, opened her mouth, and looked at the man who was close at a loss, after all, she had read his diary privately.
Xiao Jinming squinted at the thing in Ye Tong's hand, and after seeing it clearly, his eyes were instantly dyed scarlet.
"Who's allowed you to touch my stuff!"
"I ...... I ......"
After Ye Tong uttered a few syllables intermittently, his body was already trembling with fright from the yin owl aura he emanated.
Xiao Jinming didn't hesitate to clamp her wrist and pulled her directly to the balcony at the end of the corridor, with an artificial river below.
His indifferent gaze bloomed with disgust, and as soon as his hands were loosened, the delicate man fell directly from the second floor into the river.
Fear.
Alarmed.
The cold river water poured into her mouth and nose, and the abuse of herself by the director of the mental hospital gradually appeared in front of her, Ye Tong couldn't stop trembling, fluttering her body, and struggling frantically.
It's just that the blood is getting more and more pale, and the strength is slowly exhausted, Ye Tong opened his mouth but there was no trace of air. I couldn't resist the heaviness that hit, and I slowly fell into darkness in front of me.
Ye Tong was dying of hunger, his face turned red, and he had a high fever.
In the haze, someone rescued her from the river, and when she woke up again, she was already lying on a comfortable bed, her body was weak, she didn't have half the strength, but her body was not so hot anymore.
"Awake?"
Ye Tong blinked, looked for the voice and saw the man on the edge of the bed, his body trembled slightly, and fear spread from the bottom of his heart.
"I'll accompany you back to Ye's house tomorrow." Xiao Jinming saw Ye Tong wake up, and threw out a letter on the bed, which was a letter from the Ye family, and there was also his father's seal on the seal.
Hearing this, Ye Tong picked up the letter in disbelief, his eyes lit up with a look of surprise, and his fingers unconsciously clenched the sheets, "Really? ”
"Heh, do you want to go back to the Ye family to sue? Tell them how I mistreated you? Xiao Jinming took her joy into her eyes and said coldly sarcastically.
"I'm not going to sue."
Even if I sue the Ye family, they won't care about me......
Ye Tong thought silently in his heart with some sarcasm.
Time passed quickly, and in the morning, Ye Tong was flattered and had breakfast with Xiao Jinming in the hall, so he took a car with him to Ye's house.
Driving all the way to the door of Ye's house, the two got out of the car and knocked on the door, and the maid was surprised for a moment when he opened the door and saw the comer, because the master did not tell them that Xiao Shao and Miss Ye would come tomorrow.
But the maid still reacted immediately, and immediately walked in quickly to inform Ye Wen, "Mr. Ye, Xiao Shao and Miss Ye Tong are here." ”
Ye Wen in the study frowned when he heard Ye Tong coming, "Why did they come......
When the words fell, Ye Wen thought of her mother Nan Anran in an instant, it should be Ye Tong who came back to see her, thinking of this, a dark shadow sank in his eyes.
He didn't know about the reply.
At the beginning, Ye Wen promised Ye Tong that if she agreed to marry Xiao Jinming, she would take her mother out of the mental hospital to take care of her, but not long after her mother came out, because she was sick, the maid did not send her to the hospital in time to save her.
Afraid that Ye Tong would regret and refuse to marry, Ye Wen could only hide the death of her mother, and now that she suddenly returned to the door, Ye Wen was a little irritable.
Downstairs, after Ye Tong entered the door, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, and carefully looked around with his eyes, but he didn't see his mother.
Raising his eyes and seeing Ye Wen coming down the stairs, Ye Tong couldn't help but ask, "Dad, where is my mother?" ”
"Am I not right here?"
Hearing this, Ye Tong looked over, but saw that it was Lin Chu, the current mistress of the Ye family, and couldn't help frowning, lowering his eyes and not looking at her, as if he would dirty his eyes after just one glance.
When my mother was sober, she told her many times that she was not sick. She also believed her mother's words, but she never found a doubt.
Until one day, she saw Lin Chu talking to her mother in the hospital.
Maybe it's intuition, she just thinks that her mother is crazy, and nine times out of ten it is inseparable from Lin Chu.
"You know I'm not talking about ......"
Before Ye Tong could speak, he was interrupted by Ye Wen raising his hand.
"Okay, if you're going back today, just have a good lunch, and don't mention anything else."
