"Well, it's pretty much it."

Xu Mu drove the car, looking ahead, but the corner of his eye couldn't help but keep falling on Zhen Xin, but he was cautious, not wanting her to notice it too much.

He missed her so much, every day, every night, every moment, every minute. In the year of separation from her, his love for her has only increased.

Now he can finally see her openly and get along with her like this, but he is no longer qualified to do many things for her.

Zhen Xin unconsciously stroked the well-behaved Samoyed in front of her with one hand, she had too many questions to ask him, obviously she had spoken to him many times in her mind, but suddenly she looked at her face, but she suddenly didn't know how to talk about it.

After a long while, she spoke, "Xu Mu, I already know the real reason for my father's death." ”

Xu Mu hurriedly turned his head to look at her, and seeing that her eyes were forbearing, he guessed why, and immediately reached out to shake her hand, "Xinxin, the Jia family will definitely pay the due price for this." Don't get along with your family, let alone yourself. ”

"What about you?" Zhen Xin asked him rhetorically, "From the time you made up your mind to do this, to the success you have now, how have you embarrassed yourself?" And how much did it cost you? Can you get by in your heart? ”

Xu Mu fell silent.

Why did he ask himself these questions a thousand times?

Whenever he was tormented by bitter thoughts, he couldn't help but ask himself.

It wasn't like he didn't think about giving up.

It's just that when he thinks of his mother and her, the hardships and hardships he has endured over the years; thought that there were countless people like them, who were destroyed by the Jia family and fell into the abyss of hopelessness; Thinking of Jia Mengyan, who was like a mad dog, chasing Zhen Xin to the death, and thinking of Zhen Xin having to compromise Xiao Tingli in order to protect herself......

He told himself that it was all worth it.

Xu Jing's call broke the silence in the car, Xu Mu picked up the phone, turned his head and looked at Zhen Xin with a smile, "Mom, I've arrived in Qingcheng." I got my heart. We'll go back together when she gets off work. Okay, I'll go buy fruit. ”

"When you came back, didn't you go home to see your godmother first?" Zhen Xin heard the meaning of his words.

Xu Mu smiled slightly, "I originally wanted to divorce Jia Mengyan before the Civil Affairs Bureau got off work." Who would have thought, hurry up all the way, or not catch up. ”

Zhen Xin's mouth opened, and after a while, he could only say, "It's not a bad day." ”

"yes, it's been so long, and it's not bad for this night."

Xu Mu parked the car outside the club, Zhen Xin led the customer's Samoyed dog in, and after handing it over to a colleague, she asked Manager Wu for leave to go first, anyway, it was only more than an hour before she got off work, and she really didn't have the heart to continue to work.

On the way to Xu's house, Xu Mu asked her, "Did Xiao Tingli get angry with you about the exchange of blood?" ”

"Nope." Zhen Xin shook her head, she still felt that this was not quite like Mr. Xiao's style of acting.

"Then why did you stay at Han Beibei's house last night?"

Zhen Xin couldn't help but look sideways, "How do you know?" In addition to following me, you also sent people to spy on me? ”

"I always have to watch out for Jia Mengyan for you. That woman has long been crazy. ”

She couldn't tell how uncomfortable she was.

Xu Mu opened his mouth again, "Xinxin, I'm sorry for implicating you, Zhen Yi and Han Beibei, and Zhen Yi broke his finger...... Luckily, I didn't know how to compensate him......"

He always knew very well in his heart that the kick that Zhen Xin and his brother had to fall into would be pulled out sooner or later. It's just that he didn't expect Xiao Tingli to be so tolerant of her, almost without any blame, she really got out this time, which is also his greatest gratification.

But Zhen Yi's fingers greatly surprised him. Therefore, after he later learned that Quan Hui was giving advice on the side, he was even more determined to get rid of Quan Hui.

"You just know what you owe Zhen Yi." Zhen Xin's voice was slightly hoarse, "So you have to live well, compensate Zhen Yi, and it won't be in vain that he keeps calling you brother." ”

Xu Mu curled the corners of his mouth slightly, "Hmm." ”

Back at Xu's house, Xu Jing was still busy in the kitchen.

Seeing the two coming back, she smiled at the door, still holding a spatula in her hand, "I'm back." Hurry up and wash your hands, I'll take the soup out and start the meal. ”

This scene makes people feel like they are back to a year ago, three years ago...... Ten years ago.

At that time, Xu Mu would take down the schoolbag for her.

Before Xu Mu's mother and son appeared, whenever Zhen Xin was wronged under Zhen Dacheng, most of the time she could only hide silently in a corner of the community and cry, after all, the way to the cemetery to find her father was too far, and the pocket money in her hand was too small.

But since she met Xu Mu and recognized Xu Jing as her godmother, she finally had a warm home when she was wronged.

An ice cream bought by Xu Mu, a bowl of sweet soup stewed by her godmother, or a warm dry towel on a rainy and snowy day, and a comfortable big bed in the long night, lit up one lamp after another in her dim world, so that she would not lose herself in pain.

The Xu family is her only support over the years, although Xu Mu's mother and son look very slender and thin. But when Zhen Xin was beaten and scolded, it was Xu Mu's mother and son who defended her and argued for her in front of her stepfather.

She had long regarded the Xu family as her real home, and a year ago, she had never doubted it.

However, who would have thought that Xu Mu's mother and son would shoulder such a mission later? Moreover, they have always hidden the truth from her and tried not to involve her.

If it weren't for the deep love for her, why would they be doing this?

There was a table full of dishes on the table, and after Zhen Xin and Xu Mu washed their hands, they first went to incense Xu Mu's father, and then went to the table to take a seat. When passing by Xu Mu's bedroom, Zhen Xin glanced inside, and it was clean and tidy.

The three of them sat down as before, Xu Mu poured juice for the three of them, and after a few rounds of clinking glasses, Xu Jing asked her, "Xinxin, have you been home in the past few days?" ”

Zhen Xin shook her head.

Xu Jing glanced at Xu Mu, and then sighed deeply, "Xinxin, don't be like this, your mother couldn't help it back then." Her personality is different from mine, she needs a man to be her backbone. ”

"So she can completely ignore me and find me such a stepfather?" Zhen Xin's face was expressionless, "She doesn't have much affection for my father, and she does the same for me." ”

Xu Jing was reluctant to let her drill like this, "She is just weak." In those days, a woman who lost her husband didn't know how difficult it was to live with her children. If I hadn't had Xu Mu's father leave this big house and storefront, I might not have the backbone to be alone all the time. ”

However, Zhen Xin didn't seem to listen, she ate two bites of food and changed the topic, "Godmother, my dad and godfather, what happened to them at that time?" ”

"They belonged to different factories at the time, and they accidentally met at a meeting, and found that the two of them had a common hobby, both of which were mountaineering and camping. They quickly climbed all the big and small mountain bags around the city, and slowly ran farther and farther, and they met Ah Chuan's parents in Caowan Village. ”

"I remember the morning of the day I left, and I accompanied him to buy food. At that time, the Jia Group was only a state-owned food factory, which happened to be doing promotions, so all the food they brought that time was produced by the Jia family, which was two large bags. Later, something happened, and all four of them had similar symptoms, vomiting and diarrhea, and the doctor insisted that they had eaten poisonous mushrooms by mistake, and we didn't suspect it at first. ”

Zhen Xin took out the passbook in the bag, "Since it is said that it is poisoning caused by poisonous mushrooms, why did the Jia family give hush money?" ”

"That's because, after the four of them died one after another, classmates from abroad came all the way to mourn, and in the evening we inadvertently talked about the symptoms, and then my classmates said that something was not right, and suggested that we investigate deeply."

Xu Mu sneered at this time, "As a result, within a few days of our investigation, the Jia family sent someone to talk about the compensation, saying that it was out of humanitarianism. But they demanded that we sign an agreement after we got the compensation: first, that we would not continue to pursue the matter. Second, it should not be mentioned to anyone that the food they were carrying at the time of the accident was produced by the Jia Food Factory. ”

"Isn't this the place where there are three hundred taels of silver?" Zhen Xin clenched her chopsticks, "After so many years, the Jia family's food accidents are not one or two. And I later read the report and said that there was also a campus lunch project in charge of the Jia Group, and there had also been a poisoning incident, so the relevant departments didn't care? ”

"The waist bag is stuffed with a drum, who cares if others live or die?" Xu Mu gritted his teeth, "Besides, the Jia family's food business is spread all over the country, and there are only a few accidents after all, and they don't kill people every time, so they are sure that they can easily handle it." ”

Zhen Xin covered his face with his hands, his breathing was suffocated, as if something was stuck in his throat, "Xu Mu, you can tell me from the beginning." Why don't you tell me the truth? ”

He had more than one chance to explain it to her.
