Chapter 56: The Truth
Shen Yin and Gong Weihan missed the appointment at the last comic exhibition, so Shen Yin promised to accompany her to the mall on Saturday this week. The alarm went off at ten o'clock, Shen Yin opened his eyes, the room was completely illuminated by the sun, and the sound of children playing outside the window came from outside.
She opened the curtains and saw five small children riding bicycles in the plaza outside. After she took a shower, Gong Weihan's phone called, "Shen Yin, I'm waiting for you at the door of 'Shengmei Plaza', come over quickly!" ”
She casually put her dirty laundry in the washing machine, the milk in the microwave was already hot, "It seems that I can't wait to finish the laundry." ”
By the time she arrived at the "Shengmei Plaza", it was already 11:30 p.m. Gong Weihan waved at her from afar, and she was sitting in the drink shop next to her.
"Did you forget to sleep, why did you come here so late?" Gong Weihan said anxiously, blaming her for coming too late.
"I'm sorry, I slept late last night in a hurry, and as compensation I invited you to dinner, don't be angry."
"It's pretty much the same, and it's not in vain that I've been waiting for you for more than an hour." Gong Weihan said with a smile and searched for delicious restaurants nearby on her phone.
In the end, they chose a hot pot restaurant, and Shen Yin stood at the door, hesitantly asking, "Are you really sure you want to eat here?" Aren't you going to the mall for a while? Wouldn't it be okay for people to smell us then? ”
"Afraid of what? You should eat hot pot on such a cold day, you don't have to worry about the taste, the ventilation conditions of this house are very good. Gong Weihan pulled her in, and the waitress led them to an empty table.
"One three-fresh hot pot and two bottles of beer." Gong Weihan smiled at the waiter: "Please hurry up and serve, thank you!" ”
"Wait, please change the beer to juice." Shen Yin added.
"Hey, you don't need to change it!" Gong Weihan whispered to Shen Yin: "Beer with hot pot has a different flavor, you can try it too?" ”
As soon as the hot pot was served, Gong Weihan poured a glass of beer and handed it to her: "When I was in college, I often went to eat hot pot outside the school with my roommates. ”
Shen Yin took a sip of beer and saw a mother and son sitting in front of him, the child was about ten years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but there was a little more sluggishness in his eyes. His mother kept putting vegetables in his bowl and telling him to eat more.
"What are you looking at? The dish is already cooked. Gong Weihan sandwiched a piece of fish meat for her and filled her cup with beer.
"It's nothing, let's eat it!" Shen Yin retracted his gaze and put the greens on the table into the pot.
Suddenly, the anxious voice of the boy's mother came from the front, "Xiaochao, have you been burned?" Next to their table stood a middle-aged woman, dressed as a waitress and holding a kettle.
They followed the sound as they looked, and the boy clenched his cheeks, tears already streaming down his cheeks.
The middle-aged woman angrily defended: "It was he who leaned over by himself, how did you, as the child's parent, educate him?" ”
The boy's mother looked at the boy's burned cheek with concern and comforted the boy. At this time, the store manager came over, and when he saw this scene, he should have understood in his heart, "Oh, what's going on?" What's going on? ”
The middle-aged woman pretended to be pitiful and said, "I was adding hot pot soup for them, and for some reason, this boy suddenly leaned over, and with a shake of my hand, I spilled this soup on his face." ”
The boy's mother retorted: "You are the wicked person who sued first, obviously you spilled the soup on my son's face, my son is sitting here well, how can he come over and let you spill the soup on his face?" ”
Others gathered around and began to talk.
"How careless this waiter is! How could such a thing be done? ”
"Alas, this boy is pitiful, there are so many scars on his white and pure skin, how will he live in the future?"
The store manager was a middle-aged man, about fifty years old, wearing an ill-fitting suit with a beer belly, he walked up to the boy, looked at the boy's wound, and showed an apologetic expression, "Child, did you lean on yourself?" ”
The boy covered the wound with his hands, weeping and looking helplessly at his mother.
"Store manager, it's really this boy who leans over by himself, I've been working in this store for three years, and there has never been a mistake, my work ability is obvious to everyone, how can I be blamed?" The middle-aged woman sobbed, treating the store manager as the only "life-saving straw".
"Don't spew blood, my son just wants to go over and pick up a cup, it's you who don't take things seriously and pour hot soup on my son's face." The boy's mother angrily pointed at the middle-aged woman.
"Alas, the boy was so badly injured, why didn't anyone call an ambulance? Passing the buck here will only delay the best time for treatment. Everyone was still talking about it, watching all this indifferently.
The store manager took out his mobile phone and said helplessly: "There is no monitoring in the store, your quarrel here will only affect the business of the store, we will still hand it over to the police." ”
Shen Yin took advantage of everyone's quarrel and had already called an ambulance.
Ten minutes later, an ambulance appeared outside the door, and the doctors rushed to the store under the guidance of the crowd and began to examine the boy's injuries.
"Let's go, shall we? Alas, I finally waited until you invited me to dinner, but this kind of thing happened. Gong Weihan put on her coat and prepared to leave here. She raised her eyes and saw that Shen Yin was taking photos of the store with her mobile phone, "You still have this leisure?" What's there to shoot here? ”
"Wait, I'll be fine right away." Shen Yin looked at the phone intently, typing on it quickly.
Gong Weihan took her bag and pulled her out of the hotel, "Ah, the scenery outside is more pleasing to the eye!" By the way, you just took a photo of the store, what do you want to do? ”
Shen Yin turned on his phone and showed her a news post he had just released, "I was doing this just now." ”
"You actually put what just happened on the Internet?"
"Didn't you see that little boy crying very sadly? He was so badly injured that he didn't cry, don't you feel curious? Shen Yin began to analyze the scene just now, "I haven't heard the boy speak since we sat behind them, and it was his mother who was always talking, so I'm sure the boy is mute and can't speak at all." ”
"Isn't it the boy's mother's fault?"
"Well, I don't think it's the boy's fault, but what's the truth? I don't know, I can only hope for the witnesses who saw the whole story, and I hope that someone will tell the truth. Shen Yin took his mobile phone and looked at his watch, it was now 12:15 in the afternoon, "Okay, let's go to the mall, shall we?" ”
Gong Weihan said with a smile: "I didn't expect you, who don't like to brush Weibo, actually posted a Weibo because of this incident." ”
"It's not my account."
"Shen Yin, don't hide it anymore." Gong Weihan handed her the bag and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this matter." ”
Wang Mengliang, who was in a meeting, saw the prompt on his mobile phone, he turned on the lock screen, saw this Weibo, and immediately understood that this was Shen Yin using his Weibo account.
When they were shopping in the mall, Shen Yin saw a familiar figure, Xia Zhen appeared in a shoe store next to them.
"Shen Yin, am I mistaken? Why is Xia Zhen here? Gong Weihan rubbed her eyes, looking surprised.
"How do I know? Now that you've seen it, why don't you go over and say hello? ”
They walked into the shoe store, Xia Zhen was wearing a white long-sleeved dress, her long hair was slightly curly and scattered over her shoulders, and she was changing into a pair of silver-gray high heels with sequins.
"Xia Zhen, it's really you! Long time no see. Gong Weihan stepped forward to greet her, "Why didn't you tell us when you came here?" ”
"I'm sorry, I just arrived last night, and I haven't seen you in a long time." Xia Zhen hugged Gong Weihan and Shen Yin, pointed to the man standing next to him and said, "This is Ren Xuanming, the assistant of the 'Guangqing' company, and he will arrange my itinerary." ”
"Hello, we are employees of the 'Fanchen' studio, Gong Weihan and Shen Yin." Gong Weihan smiled and stretched out his hand to him.
"Are you free now?" Xia Zhen asked the waiter to pack the shoes and handed her a credit card.
"No, let's change it next time!" Shen Yin smiled at Xia Zhen, made a phone call, and left with Gong Weihan's arm.
Gong Weihan pouted and said, "Why did you pull me just now?" Xia Zhen is my goddess, and I still want to stay with my goddess for a while. ”
"There will be opportunities in the future, so why rush this time. Don't you see that we're the brightest light bulbs ever? Shen Yin poked her arm, and her eyes focused on a light blue striped shirt, "What do you think of that dress?" ”
"Well, I'll try it first!" She walked into the fitting room with her clothes.
Shen Yin stood aside and smiled helplessly.
They walked around the mall for two hours, and Gong Weihan bought the clothes she liked, and she was in a very good mood. She stopped at the door of a drink shop and shouted at Shen Yin, "After walking so far, shall we go in and rest for a while?" ”
Shen Yin was carrying two bags, she didn't wear high heels today, so she didn't feel tired. Gong Weihan had already ordered two cups of lemon tea and two desserts, "Here!" She waved at Shen Yin.
Shen Yin sat down, turned on his phone, and saw that the Weibo posted before had been commented on by more than 10,000 people, and everyone expressed their thoughts or suggestions. She scanned quickly, trying to find useful information.
Suddenly, a message caught her eye, "I am an eyewitness at the time, and netizens who want to know more about it can contact me through the contact information below." ”
"What's wrong? Is there any progress on that matter? Gong Weihan put a piece of strawberry cake in his mouth, supported his chin with his right hand, and had a leisurely expression.
"There is a little progress, but the witness only left his Weibo account, and I am not sure if it is true."
Gong Weihan took the phone, read this message, and said sharply: "This person is sent by a boring person who looks at it just to win attention, just ignore it." ”
Shen Yin still had hope for this person in his heart, and logged on to his Weibo account and sandwiched a friend from this strange account.
Two minutes later, the other party had already agreed and sent a video. She opened the video, and the figure of a middle-aged woman appeared in the picture, although the picture was blurry, but the movements of the characters could still be distinguished.
The middle-aged woman walked towards the table where the boy was sitting with a kettle, and had just put the kettle on the table. The boy suddenly got up from his seat and tried to pick up the paper airplane that had fallen at the middle-aged woman's feet. The boy crouched down and picked up the paper airplane, but his clothes hung on a chair next to him. Seeing this, the middle-aged woman poured soup into the pot with one hand, and pushed away the chair with the other to untie the boy's clothes from the chair. At this time, the kettle in the middle-aged woman's hand deviated from the direction, and the hot soup in it spilled onto the boy's body.
"Looks like the waiter is to blame." I don't know when, Gong Weihan was already standing beside her.
"yes, but it's not all the waiter's fault." Shen Yin sighed helplessly. She turned off the video, thanked the stranger who sent the video, and asked for the other party's opinion, hoping that the other party could publish the video online so that more people could see it.
Unexpectedly, the other party agreed to her request.
"Are you in a much better mood now? Your favorite flavors. Gong Weihan pushed the dessert in front of her.
"Well, today is an unforgettable day."
