49. There is only loneliness on the road to self-improvement

Previous Chapter

Everyone has a city in their hearts, and perhaps, there is an impossible person living in it. That person passed by his youth for a while, but he would be stranded in his memory for a lifetime. The most feared is the strangeness after deep friendship, the pain after seriousness, the betrayal after trust, and the indifference after gentleness.

For example, Zhong Ling is to Chen Xi.

Time is like flowing water, fleeting.

A month later, Chen Xi's high school entrance examination ended, and her heart had returned to calm.

But on this day, a piece of news spread throughout the campus, making Chen Xi, who had just calmed down, unsettled again.

According to the news, Zhong Ling, the president of Zhong's Real Estate, is suspected of murdering her husband Wan Ping and has been criminally arrested by the Public Security Bureau in accordance with the law, and the person who arrested Zhong Ling is none other than Zhao Gang, who has had several relationships with Chen Xi.

Zhao Gang believes that Wan Ping did not fall downstairs and died, but was pushed downstairs by Zhong Ling, creating the illusion of a stumble, Zhong Ling's motive for committing the crime is extremely obvious, first, Wan Ping has no queen, and no other blood relatives, after his death, Zhong Ling, as his legal wife, is the biggest beneficiary. Second, before Wan Ping's death, Zhong Ling was beaten many times, and she was doing this to take revenge.

And today, the case of Zhong Ling's murder of her husband was tried in the Intermediate People's Court of the city where she was located.

Originally, Mengyi Town was remote, and it was difficult to receive such news, however, Zhong Ling graduated here, and she had excellent academic performance, and she was also a celebrity in Mengyi Middle School.

She came here not long ago, and her family is rich and beautiful, so naturally she has the special attention of some people.

As soon as Zhong Ling was arrested, she was known to some well-intentioned people for the first time.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and at the end of the high school entrance examination, Zhong Ling's murder case spread on campus and caused a lot of uproar.

Some people say that Zhong Ling is a poor person, and this is a silent resistance.

Some people say that Zhong Ling has a poisonous scorpion heart and should be sentenced to death.

Some people even say that Zhong Ling is shameless, greedy for wealth and nobility, and marries at a young age, saying that she is marrying, but in fact, she sells her body, she is so brazen, she deserves to be beaten, and she should be cut with a thousand knives if she kills her husband.

There are all kinds of voices, some people sympathize, some people mock, some people are vicious, all the voices, Chen Xi heard them all.

What makes Chen Xi strange is that almost all of those who sympathize with Zhong Ling don't have a good relationship with her at school, on the contrary, the person with the most vicious words is the person who has the closest relationship with Zhong Ling.

Chen Xi still remembered that on the day Zhong Ling came, these people were still around Zhong Ling, accompanied by smiling faces.

It's just that at that time, in Zhong Ling's eyes, there was only Chen Xi, who was disdainful of others.

At this time, Chen Xi understood a truth, people who are usually indifferent may not be really indifferent, and people who are usually enthusiastic may not be really enthusiastic, and they will even stab you in the back.

In fact, Chen Xi has already seen clearly that those who speak the most viciously to Zhong Ling precisely want to be Zhong Ling the most, since they can't become her, then, when she falls into the water, throw stones into the water and stone her to death.

Without it, just because Zhong Ling is a woman, and she is poor.

Many women talk about women's rights and the equality of men and women, but it is precisely these people who want to become the vassals of men the most.

These people were upset for Wan Ping, however, when Zhong Ling was beaten, no one stood up for her, and when she came back beautifully, these people stood up again and curried favor. Zhong Ling was arrested, and it was these people again, who used the most vicious words.

Chen Xi also discovered a phenomenon that the teachers and classmates in the school were far away from her today, and she seemed to have become a virus plague.

You must know that Chen Xi is very popular, and almost everyone likes him.

Now, these people, invisibly, want to keep their distance from her, including those teachers who often listen to her play the piano.

Without it, just because, she and Zhong Ling are the best sisters, and everyone knows about this on campus.

"Sister Ling!" Chen Xi muttered, feeling a faint pain in his heart.

In fact, the day Zhong Ling left, she knew that something was not quite right.

It's just that Chen Xi didn't ask, and Zhong Ling didn't say either.

Zhong Ling sang a song and invited Chen Xi to no avail, and then left miserably.

Chen Xi already remembered her expression at that time, lonely and helpless.

There is no doubt that Chen Xi's step back deeply touched Zhong Ling.

But what can she do?

Do you tell Zhong Ling that turning back is the shore? Everyone has been killed, turn back, is there still a shore?

Chen Xi was full of feelings in her heart, she was worried about Zhong Ling, hoping that Zhong Ling would be found not guilty, and she also felt that if Zhong Ling really killed someone, she should be sentenced, which was very contradictory, but it was Chen Xi's psychology at this moment.

But at this time, Chen Xi ignored a problem, that is, like others, she thought that Zhong Ling really killed someone, and subconsciously thought about it, but never thought about whether Zhong Ling was innocent.

This is a kind of prejudice generated by the consensus, a girl from a poor family marries into a large family, and the family is dead, even if the police do not investigate, it will make people feel that this girl has harmed the family.

The same is true for Chen Xi, when Zhong Ling talked about this incident, her first reaction, Zhong Ling, murdered her husband's family.

Undoubtedly, this kind of prejudice is often fatal, it can be taken for granted, and thus drive people to a dead end, which is terrible.

At this time, Chen Xi was also unaware.

Unconsciously, Chen Xi came to the door of a room.

She knew that there was a piano in it.

Every time, when she was troubled, she would come here and play a song to vent the emotions in her heart.

However, today, her figure was stopped by many people!

She couldn't get in.

The teacher told her that she was not allowed to touch the piano again.

Although he didn't explain the reason, Chen Xi understood, and from their eyes, Chen Xi could see it.

They feel that they are stolen and unworthy of touching the piano.

Because, she is a friend of the murderer.

Chen Xi didn't want to argue, so he turned around and left.

It's just that in her heart, she can't help but feel sad.

Is this still the amiable teacher she remembers? How did everything change overnight, including this campus, in her eyes, it also began to become unfamiliar.

Do they really regard that piano as their own?

You must know that this was left by Teacher Xu Qing when she left, saying that it was donated to the school, but in fact, it was to leave it to Chen Xi to facilitate her practice.

Now, Chen Xi can't even touch it.

Suddenly, Chen Xi had an impatient thought, she wanted to leave here, leave immediately.

She suddenly felt that there was nothing she knew here.

Here, she felt as if she couldn't breathe.

Chen Xi quickened his pace, ran up, rushed into his dormitory, and soon, packed his luggage and walked out of the school gate.

She has no nostalgia.

She's going home, she misses Abba and Mommy, she misses the big tiger.

"Xi girl!" Just as Chen Xi walked to the school gate, a tired voice came into her ears.

Chen Xi's figure couldn't help but be stunned.

After a moment, she suddenly looked back, and a bright light flashed in her dim eyes.

It was an old woman, with a cane and gray hair, who staggered to her with the help of a young girl.

"Grandma!" Chen Xi's tone was choked, and he quickly ran in the direction of the old man and pounced on her old man.

"Grandma! Woooooo Chen Xi cried and cried loudly.

She didn't cry when so many people pointed at her, she didn't cry when so many people stopped her and didn't let her play the piano, she didn't cry when she packed her bags and was ready to leave, and now, she cried.

In the old man's arms, she began to weep bitterly.

"It's all gone!" The old man sighed.

"Huh?" Chen Xi raised his head, puzzled.

"Zhong Ling's case has a result, due to insufficient evidence, he was acquitted in court!" The old man said.

"Really?" Chen Xi was pleasantly surprised.

"Can I still lie to you?"

The old man smiled and touched Chen Xi's head, "Now, you can rest assured!" ”

Chen Xi nodded and couldn't help but take a long breath.

"Ask you a question!" The old man suddenly laughed, "Do you believe that Zhong Ling will kill people?" ”

"This ......" Chen Xi was stunned, and suddenly, he remembered Zhong Ling's miserable white face when she left.

For a moment, she suddenly felt guilty, she was self-righteous, Zhong Ling had never said anything, she heard that her mother-in-law and her husband were dead, and she thought self-righteously that Zhong Ling had murdered.

She never thought that Zhong Ling might not have killed anyone!

"No matter what others say, I don't believe it anyway!" The old man said, "That girl, I grew up, she can't kill, you are her best friend, and her only friend, don't you believe her?" ”

"Children, to be a man, you must not only have confidence in yourself, but also have confidence in your friends, especially the kind of intimate friends!" The old man said earnestly.

"I see!" Chen Xi nodded.

"By the way, I almost forgot to introduce you, this is my godgranddaughter!" The old man pointed to the little girl who was holding her.

Chen Xi's gaze naturally fell on the girl.

This is a very beautiful girl, fourteen or fifteen years old, with short hair and a white casual dress, at this time, she blinked her big eyes and was also looking at Chen Xi.

It's so cute, her eyes turn, as if she is talking, sometimes pouting, sometimes pouting, cute and cute.

Chen Xi couldn't help laughing, this girl, at first sight, people couldn't help but like it.

"Sister, what are you laughing at?" The girl spoke.

"You're so beautiful!" Chen Xi praised.

"Giggles!" The little girl laughed and stretched out her white arm, "My name is Su Xiaoying!" ”

"Chen Xi!" Chen Xi also stretched out his right hand.

The hands of the two people, at this moment, were tightly clasped together.

The old man looked at them and couldn't help but nod his head in relief.

"Xi girl, why don't you go in and sit? It's been a long time since I've seen you, so talk to grandma! ”

"No!" Chen Xi shook his head, "I'm going home!" ”

"Do you mind the voices of those people?" The old man asked.

"It's not!" Chen Xi shook his head again, "I'm really homesick!" ”

"That's good!" The old man advised, "Xiaoxi, don't pay too much attention to what others say, just be yourself, you must know that on the road of self-improvement, you are always lonely, you must withstand the wind and rain, and you must endure loneliness, so that you can really grow!" ”

"I remember!" Chen Xi nodded heavily.

"Be safe along the way!" The old man chuckled and turned to walk back into the campus.

Su Xiaoying helped the old man and didn't forget to turn back.

"Sister Chen Xi, my family is in Chengdu, come and play with me when you have time, goodbye!"

"Goodbye!" Chen Xi waved her hand, and when the two figures gradually disappeared, she restrained her smile.

At this time, Chen Xi suddenly received a text message.

"Xiaoxi, I know you will have the same thoughts as others, I don't blame you, believe it or not, I didn't kill anyone, that bastard, I really fell to my death, I'm going abroad to study, you have to take care, Ling!"

"Sister, I'm sorry! You have to take care too! Chen Xi whispered.

Standing in the wind, for a long time, for a long time, Chen Xi took a step.

"Chengdu, I'm coming!" Pulling the luggage, Chen Xi's steps became firm.

While walking, in her mind, she couldn't help but have an arrogant back.

"Big brother, are you real? Are you him? Chen Xi thought, raised his head, and looked at the sky.

In the sky, there are no clouds.

"Are you real? Or is it only in a dream? At the same time, in Shanghai, Pudong, on the riverside, there is a figure, with hands behind his back, facing southwest, also looking up at the sky.

He has a scar on his face.

……

(Chen Xi's end)
