Chapter 102: Confession
Shen Mi's heart sank, and he subconsciously greeted him, supported Chen Man, who was unsteady on his feet, and helped her to the side of the chair and sat down.
"Mom, that ......" she was speechless.
"Lie'er, what did you just say, the second uncle has two children?" Chen Man blinked and stared straight at Xi Lie, his eyes full of puzzlement and shock.
"Mom, let's forget about it! There's no point in asking clearly now, so let your grandparents take care of themselves first. Xi Lie sighed and replied.
"Where is this, how can it be counted? It's not that you don't know, your grandfather has always felt guilty about this matter, if he knew that he still had two grandchildren, he would definitely be happy, how can you hide it from everyone? Chen Manliu raised his eyebrows and criticized unhappily.
"Mom, Xi Lie didn't say anything about it, he just wanted to wait for this time to pass, besides, isn't this an extraordinary stage, grandparents are in an unstable situation......" Shen Mi couldn't stand it anymore, and started a round with a smile.
Hearing this, Chen Man took a few deep breaths and stabilized his mind.
"What the daughter-in-law said also makes sense, then do what you think, but can you tell your mother in advance, where are the two children?"
"Okay Mom, I'll take Shen Mi to eat something, she will have to take medicine in a while, we'll talk about the details later." Xi Lie cleared his throat, pulled Shen Mi to him, and was about to leave with her shoulder.
"The daughter-in-law should have a good rest at home, her hand is already injured, and there are people here who are watching, and she will rest after eating." Chen Man stood up and explained in a serious voice.
Shen Mi nodded obediently and agreed.
In the car, Xi Lie muttered for a long time, and finally patted her on the shoulder, "I'll take you to a place after dinner." ”
"Where?" She asked curiously.
"Li Juncheng wants to see you."
"What are you doing with me? Everything is settled, what are you going to do with me? She sighed and asked displeased.
"I don't know, he said that he wanted to find you something, if you want to know, I'll take you over in a while, and it just so happens that I also want to find a friend to do something." Xi Lie said, started the car, and slowly merged into the traffic.
She didn't have much appetite, so Xi Lie took her to make some porridge, and because her hands were inconvenient, he patiently fed her spoonful by spoonful.
"The matter is solved, but this big mess is really busy." Shen Mi shook his head tiredly and sighed.
"Wan'er, I handed it over to Liu Chenyi to appease, Song Yu and Song Jingxuan are waiting for the procuratorate to convict, Mrs. Song was hit too hard and was hospitalized. There are a lot of things, so let's do it one by one! Xi Lie sighed and said tiredly.
"How can you rest assured that Wan'er will be handed over to Liu Chenyi at this time?" Shen Mi smiled teasingly and muttered.
Xi Lie lowered his eyes, "You think I'm willing?" Isn't Liu Chenyi more useful at this time? ”
"Tut-tut, you're pretty good at weighing the pros and cons." She smiled and stood up, "Let's go, you're full." ”
The two went straight to the detention center where Li Juncheng was, because of Li Juncheng's request, they saw Shen Mi alone, Xi Lie was a little displeased, and his eyes hid a little anger.
"Okay, it's okay, you wait for me." Shen Mi smiled, patted his arm, and went in alone.
Li Juncheng was sitting on the other side of the soundproof wall with his head down, the whole person looked a lot thinner, his cheekbones were sunken, and he didn't have the arrogant appearance when he bullied her, and he looked like an honest old man.
After being in a daze for a long time, he realized that she was coming, and a pair of cloudy eyes looked at her, and then he raised his head and stared at her thoughtfully.
"What are you looking for me?" Shen Mi blinked and sat down in his seat.
"Just thank you for taking care of my daughter." Li Juncheng sighed, a little lost in his eyes, "I haven't done anything good in this life, and I haven't fulfilled the responsibility of being a father to my daughter, and it has brought a lot of obstacles and inconveniences to her life, I didn't expect you to dislike her like this, I didn't care about the harm I caused to you, and I was willing to help ......her."
"The grudge is the two of us, it has nothing to do with her, you don't have to thank me." Shen Mi sighed and replied.
"What happened before was all my sin, and now I have been retributed, but I owe you an apology."
Li Juncheng said, stood up from his seat tremblingly, moved to the side, and actually pounced and knelt down.
Shen Mi frowned, and wanted to call him up, but after thinking about it, he still forgot it.
"For the sake of your willingness to come forward to help me clarify at that time, I don't want to pursue it anymore. It's just that you did harm Li Meng's life. She's gone, and I don't know where she went. She sighed and said in a deep voice.
"Now she shouldn't be in danger, I, I've already told everyone behind it, and I have agreed to testify in court...... If you see her one day, tell her that I miss her very much, let her come and see me......" Li Juncheng said, his words were full of pleading, and he actually blinked his eyes and shed two lines of tears.
Shen Mi didn't expect that this kind of person who regarded human life as a mustard would actually shed tears, and he only felt a little embarrassed for a while, sighed silently, and didn't answer.
"Is there anything else you want to say, I'll go first without me."
"I just want to apologize to you, and when I'm done, I won't have the chance to meet again in the future." Li Juncheng nodded, turned around, and left her with a gloomy back.
Shen Mi sighed and retreated, Xi Lie was thinking about things outside with a strained face.
"Let's go." She patted him on the shoulder and took his arm.
On the way, she looked at the scenery outside the window and was distracted, and her mind was a mess.
"Xi Lie, you say...... If a person no longer has humanity, does he still have a soft side to his children? She blinked, muttering distractedly.
"Maybe." Xi Lie nodded, agreeing with her statement.
"Oh......" she replied, staring thoughtfully out the window again, no longer breathing.
Xi Lie knew her too well.
"Perhaps, they think that not disturbing their children is the last dedication." He said meaningfully, causing Shen Mi to frown slightly.
"You're talking about my mom? No, you're talking about Duan Li? ”
"Feel it for yourself! I heard that donating bone marrow also suffers a lot, and she has to suffer all over again. There are various risks such as weight gain and hypoglycemia after surgery. Xi Lie sighed and replied solemnly.
Shen Mi blinked and shook his head gently.
"These are small things, let's talk about them later!"
Xi Lie stopped answering and sent her home, because the two of them had been working in the hospital for a long time and were a little tired, so they took a shower and took a comfortable nap.
The two were woken up by Shi Yuan's loud voice.
"Big brother, big brother! Look at today's gossip headlines! ”
Xi Lie turned over tiredly, not very interested, but Shen Mi, rubbed his sleepy eyes, sat up from the bed, picked up the mobile phone and began to flip it up.
The homepage gossip was dominated by a scandal.
Take a closer look, the hero of this scandal is actually her little cutie Mike.
Probably means that Mike and a young woman are in and out of pairs, the woman has a strong background, strong wrists, and is the president of a media company......
In the photo below, Mike is secretly photographed walking with a slender woman.
Although the woman's face was coded, Shen Mi could still tell from her short hair, long legs, and familiar face shape that the so-called object of the scandal was Xi Yingyue, who had been rumored to be in love before!
"......" She was a little stunned, unable to speak for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Xi Lie asked uneasily.
"This, this generation is messed up!" Shen Mi muttered and put the phone in front of Xi Lie's eyes, he glanced at it, and frowned.
"Sister-in-law, is this counted, does the old cow eat tender grass? This young man is about your age, isn't he? ”
Shen Mi grinned, "It's a happy event, there have been so many troubles recently, so I should be happy!" ”
With that, she got up, put on her coat, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Xi Lie's expression was a little bad, so he helped her squeeze the toothpaste and handed it to her.
"I can't keep up with the thinking of young people now. How young do you like your elders. He muttered unhappily.
"I'm also young, don't I like you as an uncle? Where is the age boundary, don't complain about this in front of your sister-in-law! Shen Mi glanced at him and muttered.
"Yes, yes." He replied, took a glass of water, and brushed his teeth side by side beside her.
After brushing his teeth, he thoughtfully wiped her face, "I'll go to the hospital in the afternoon to check your hands, you haven't been restless lately and you've been moving around." ”
“…… Whatever you say, it's what it is! She nodded and went downstairs.
Downstairs was a bit lively, and several people were holding their mobile phones and making fun of Jason, who looked displeased.
"Brothers, how about going out to make trouble tonight, if you don't get drunk?" Shi Yuan thoughtfully suggested on the side.
"I think it's OK!" Chen Ming responded positively.
"Alas, what is the situation in the world...... Jing Liang also joined in the fun.
"Okay, Shiyuan has a treat tonight, I'm sure I won't get drunk." Jason said, waving his big hand and standing up in a dashing manner.
Shen Mi was amused by these King Kongs, shook his head speechlessly, and waited for Xi Lie to go downstairs, and the two went out.
went to the hospital, Shen Jie had been discharged, and the cancer cells were temporarily controlled, but the situation was still not very optimistic.
Zhao Zihao was also discharged from the hospital, and Shen Mi found an aunt for their family to serve them every day, after all, Lu Yue's belly was also big, so he couldn't help at all.
"When is my brother-in-law's wedding?" On the way, Xi Lie asked curiously.
"Zhao Zihao can't take care of himself now, and Lu Yue's belly is also big, they said that it would be good to wait until the child is full moon, double happiness is coming, and it saves trouble." Shen Mi thought of this, and felt a lot more relaxed.
"Hmm." Xi Lie nodded thoughtfully, "The wedding dress I ordered before hasn't been used yet, let's do the wedding too!" Wait for grandparents to recover a little. ”
"Well, speaking of which, our wedding photos haven't been taken yet!" Shen Mi blinked and thought about it suddenly.
"I thought that I would retire and take you on camera, and I could go to the Maldives or something, but I could only go to China." Xi Lie said, sighing faintly.
Shen Mi pondered for a moment and smiled indifferently, "There are many places in China that I haven't been to, so it's okay." ”
"Then, I'll arrange it." Xi Lie hooked the corners of his mouth with satisfaction.
"But, I don't have hair, can you wait for me to grow hair!" Shen Mi pursed his lips and muttered.
Xi Lie was amused by her, and shook his head helplessly, "You are affected by chemotherapy, you have to wait for a while!" ”
“……”
The two chatted with each other, went to the hospital where Xi Chongjin and Lin Meijuan were, and took Xi Yingyue and Xi Yu's class.
"Sister-in-law, congratulations!" Shen Mi smiled, and Xi Yingyue was in a fog when she smiled.
"You don't really think I'm going to be with that Mike, right? One for each child. She sighed speechlessly, "Obey, these people who catch the wind." ”
"I think it's pretty good! Mike is so handsome, you can still ask him for an autograph or something, if you are in a bad mood, you will come to him to wash your eyes......" Shen Mi laughed, and suddenly felt a chill down her spine, Xi Lie was staring at her coldly, as if he was very dissatisfied with her remarks.
"Wash your eyes? Am I not enough to wash? He frowned, staring at her in displeasure.
"Sister-in-law, let's go, someone here is going to be unlucky!" Xi Yu laughed, pulled Xi Yingyue and left, leaving Shen Mi alone to smile and wink at Xi Lie.
"Don't you see I'm complimenting! And got angry. She muttered, and quickly ran to Lin Meijuan's hospital room.
Lin Meijuan had vitrectomy surgery two days ago, and at this time, her eyes were wrapped in gauze and couldn't be opened, and she could be distinguished just by listening to her footsteps.
"This is alive and kicking, it must be my granddaughter-in-law." She smiled and held out her hand.
"Eh, Grandma!" She greeted her and took her withered hand.
"I heard that my granddaughter-in-law had a fracture, why was she so careless?" Lin Meijuan said, her tone was full of concern, and she smiled embarrassedly when she heard it.
"It's not, it's too much of a jump! Be sure to pay attention in the future! ”
Lin Meijuan nodded, "What's happened in Cloud City recently, you tell grandma." I can only listen to it on TV every day, or listen to those little nurses chatting, it is so depressing. ”
"Well, it's just that the previous things have come out, it's not a big deal, you can recuperate with peace of mind, and when you're well, Xi Lie said that he would take me to the wedding!"
"Really? Oh, Lie'er, this child, when he is so romantic, is much better than the two men in the family. Lin Meijuan smiled happily when she heard this, and her tone was not bad.
"Grandma must strive to be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible and fulfill his dream!"
"Okay!" Shen Mixiao helped her tidy up the quilt, and then withdrew from the ward, ready to go to Xi Chongjin to take a look.
Xi Lie was standing beside the bed, listening to Xi Chongjin explain the matter, she hesitated, then waited at the door obediently and did not go in.
After a while, Xi Lie came out, saw her at the door, raised his hand and patted her shoulder.
"Grandpa seems to have said something very important?" She asked cautiously, blinking.
"It's not the second uncle's business back then. I was very angry about Song Jingxuan's matter and was asking about the progress of my case. ”
"Speaking of which, when will this case be tried? There is also the matter of Song Yu, on the day of the trial, did Song Shuwen still appear in court? ”
"Song Yu can make him sit through the prison with just one charge. I don't know if Wenwen will appear, I misunderstood her at the beginning, and I do have a sorry sentence I want to tell her. ”
Xi Lie said, his brows furrowed, and his expression tangled.
"Alas, I can't blame you, I can only blame the two people surnamed Song for being too cunning, don't mind ...... mind too much" Shen Mi sighed and comforted softly.
"Hmm." He nodded, and took her into his arms.
"Fortunately, I'm satisfied with you."
。
A month later.
The murder case of Song Yu and Song Jingxuan, the divorce case of Jiang Xinlan and Song Jingxuan, the tax evasion case of Luo Yanbei and the kidnapping case were openly tried before and after, and Yuncheng was very lively.
The melons that came one after another almost made the entire Cloud City watch the excitement boiling.
The backbone of several large families has entered the bureau one after another, which makes people have to sigh the strength of the people behind it.
The Song family's business was hit hard and crumbling, and on the eve of Song Jingxuan's detention, the news of the acquisition came out.
It was none other than Gu Siyuan, who they treated as a son-in-law before.
Shen Mi looked at the news, smiled and couldn't speak.
This Gu Siyuan is really not an ordinary person. He didn't make it clear about kidnapping her at the beginning, but now he is reaping the benefits of a fisherman.
But that's fine, she didn't do anything hurtful, and she was really good to Song Shuwen at the beginning, she just wanted to eat melons quietly and not cause trouble.
Maybe this world is so cruel.
The weak eat the strong, the wall falls down and everyone pushes it, and the closest person, maybe the last one who cramps and pulls out your bones, eats meat and drinks blood, and the bones will not spit out.
Xi Chongjin finally relieved himself, and also attended Song Jingxuan's public trial, and after twenty years, he didn't wait for Song Jingxuan's apology.
Until the end, Song Jingxuan knew that he could not escape the punishment, and he even saved his mistake, leaving their Xi family with an indifferent back.
Outside the courtroom, Xi Chongjin couldn't cry anymore.
After the matter came to an end, the Xi family decided to go to sweep Xi Yingjun's grave.
It was late autumn, and Shen Mi was still in front of his second uncle's grave for the first time.
"Handsome, you are too aggrieved, it is Dad who can't stand you and can't protect you......" Xi Chongjin stroked the faded photo on the tombstone, leaving two lines of turbid tears, and the audience was moved.
This is undoubtedly a tragedy, whether it is the second uncle who is filial piety, or Luo Jiayi, who is crazy about love, or Song Jingxuan, who wants to be the prince of flowers, are the driving force of this tragedy.
Her heart was a little heavy, looking at Xi Chongjin's rickety back, her nose was a little sour.
Xi Yingyue supported him on the side, silent and did not speak.
The group was busy at the cemetery, and it was almost noon, and when they returned home, they saw an unexpected guest.
Luo Wan'er was wearing a long skirt, long hair and a shawl, and a beret on her head, and her eyes were a little shrunken.
Shen Mi's heart sank, and he glanced at Xi Lie suspiciously.
"You called? Did you say that? ”
Xi Lie frowned, "No, how can I be in the mood." ”
“……”
"This is ......" Xi Chongjin blinked and asked puzzled.
"Hello, I'm Luo Wan'er, uh, it's the little girl of the Luo family." Luo Wan'er blinked and smiled at him.
Shen Mi helped his forehead and shook his head speechlessly.
Only Liu Chenyi can do this, no one dares to invite this little girl to the house, only Liu Chenyi, who doesn't keep his mouth open, can say it.
"Luo Jia......" Xi Chongjin nodded, "Then you came here, is there anything wrong?" ”
Hearing this, Luo Wan'er subconsciously glanced at Shen Mi, smiled, straightened her back, and took two steps forward.
"Yes! Because I heard that my father, surnamed Xi! ”
As soon as the words came out, the whole family was shocked, Xi Yingjie subconsciously shook his head and waved his hand, "It's not me, I only have these sons, it's really not me, what do you see me doing?!" ”
"Our family is surnamed Xi, I don't know what you are talking about......" Xi Chongjin looked at the little girl in front of him who was only in her twenties, her eyes were smart, her face was like a peach blossom, and she liked it tightly, regardless of her amazing words, and asked with a pleasant face.
"The surname is Xi, and his name is Xi Yingjun!" Luo Wan'er blinked her big watery eyes, innocent and innocent.
Chen Man was the first to react, reaching out and patting Xi Lie's arm, his face full of questions.
Xi Lie nodded silently, which was acceptable.
"Oh my God, this is such a handsome daughter!" She exclaimed in surprise and quickly stepped forward, leaving the father and son with stunned faces and unable to come back to their senses.
"This, it's true?!" Xi Chongjin was stunned for a long time, blinked, and tears were about to pour out.
"Grandpa, it's true. Before the second uncle broke up with Miss Luo, she was already pregnant...... After giving birth, he stayed in the Luo family to raise him, and there was no follow-up......" Xi Lie stood up and replied in a deep voice.
“…… It's all my fault, it's my fault! Xi Chongjin was hit hard, took a few steps back, and then sat down on the sofa, stroking his face, unable to raise his head for a long time.
"In that case, can I call you grandpa?" Seeing that his old man was crying, Luo Wan'er glanced at Shen Mi in a panic, then stepped forward and asked obediently.
Xi Chongjin burst into tears, his lips trembled and he couldn't speak.
"This, this is my niece, wife, I have a niece! We have a girl in the Xi family! Xi Yingjie hugged Chen Man excitedly and said excitedly.
Chen Man was made to laugh and cry by him, and shook his head speechlessly.
Luo Wan'er's arrival undoubtedly brought light to the Xi family, which was shrouded in haze.
The old man and Lin Meijuan were both overjoyed, and they were much more energetic.
"Wan'er, you came here so rashly to recognize your relatives, aren't you afraid that your family will be angry?" Shen Mi asked uneasily.
"Afraid of what? They are also my relatives, why can't they recognize them? Luo Wan'er blinked and said indifferently, "And the two of you are too bad!" I already knew that I didn't recognize me! If Liu Chenyi hadn't told me, I don't know when I would have found out that I actually have blood relatives! ”
Shen Mi smiled awkwardly, "It's your eldest brother to blame, he won't let him say it." ”
As she spoke, she pointed at Xi Lie and said with a smile.
"Hey, this is my eldest brother, so handsome!" Luo Wan'er laughed and affectionately took Xi Lie's arm.
After laughing, Shen Mi was a little lost.
This little cutie is back, but what about Song Shuwen? Where is she and what to do?
