Chapter 85: Misunderstanding
"I don't like to beat around the bush, so let's just make it clear, it's not me looking for you tonight, it's Jun Xi." Although Wu Yue's straightforwardness surprised me, when I heard the name "Chu Junxi" and thought that he was not involved in Sister Zhang's murder, my heart was twisted, and I was going to leave when I heard it, but I just got up and suddenly heard the sound of light footsteps behind me, and when I looked back, I saw Chu Junxi slowly pacing from the kitchen with two glasses of red wine, and his face was a little ugly.
"Mr. Wu, I'm sorry, I still have some problems," I stood up, not wanting to have any more intersections with Chu Junxi.
Unexpectedly, he spoke behind him, "Yun Ya, I think you have a little misunderstanding of me, although we don't have a deep friendship, but your ability is recognized by me and Mr. Wu, so I don't want you to work with me with misunderstandings, we may have many opportunities to cooperate in the future, if you can't be honest, how can you talk about tacit understanding?" ”
As I spoke, he walked up to me and handed me the goblet in his hand, his eyes full of sincerity.
I looked at him, hesitating.
But in the end, I took the glass, and I didn't really understand why he was explaining it to me. Don't even understand what his so-called abilities are? I don't think there will be a chance for cooperation between me and him, his words are actually a bit inexplicable.
Of course, the main reason why I agreed to stay and listen to his explanation was that I wanted to understand the many mysteries behind Zhang Xiaofei and Sister Zhang, which might help me find Sister Zhang, or find the real culprit for her.
After we sat down, Wu Yue first picked up the wine glass on the coffee table and saluted each other, and I saw Chu Junxi pick up the wine glass, so I had to follow suit, and the three of them took a sip together.
The cold liquid slid through the stomach cavity, and the feeling of irritability subsided a lot, and I looked up at Chu Junxi, who was sitting next to Wu Yue, and waited quietly for him to speak.
He didn't look at me, but stared down at the red wine in the glass, and his wrist trembled slightly, causing the liquid to ripple in the glass like ripples blown by the wind on the surface of a lake. As his mood gradually changed, I could feel the sadness and helplessness floating around him, "Do you already know that Zhang Shumei's daughter Zhang Xiaofei is my wife?" ”
Although he asked, he didn't wait for me to answer, and continued, "Yes, Xiaofei and I got married in 1996, when my family's company was already in an economic crisis, and my father decided to let me marry the Ou family, one of the top ten wealthy businessmen in China, in order to alleviate the crisis. However, I have fallen hopelessly in love with Xiaofei since my freshman year of high school, she is simple and beautiful, not polluted by the city full of temptation, and has always maintained that pure glass heart, which fascinates me deeply. ”
I looked at him, although his expression was still gloomy, the emotions surging in his eyes did not seem to be fake, it seemed that he did love Zhang Xiaofei deeply.
"So, I didn't want to betray my feelings, so I secretly went to the Civil Affairs Bureau with her to get a marriage certificate and brought her home under the pressure exerted by the whole family. But I couldn't stay at home with her, because the family's financial crisis was imminent, and I had to leave her behind and rush to Shanghai when I was newlywed to help my father and eldest brother deal with the crisis. It turned out that it was this decision that pushed me and her into a place of no return! What I didn't think about was that after marriage, my mother was so dissatisfied with her that she was so picky that after more than a year of getting along, she suffered from mild depression, so much so that after the New Year, shortly after I left home, she lost our child due to an accidental miscarriage. Because of this, her depression was even worse, but I didn't realize it, and my mom didn't think she was so vulnerable. ”
Chu Junxi's voice began to choke, a thick fog rose in his eyes, and his vision was a little blurred.
The sadness emanating from him slowly spread in the spacious living room, and I remembered the scene in my daydream, and I felt very sorry for Zhang Xiaofei.
I had some doubts about how she could have jumped off a building because of an argument between her mother and her mother-in-law, but it would not be surprising if she had already suffered from severe depression. People who have this disease may see everything gray, feel that the world is dark, and it is better to live than to die.
The reason why I know so well is also because my mother was in the last two years of her life, and the doctor also said that she suffered from mild depression, so she always stared at me with sad eyes, so reluctant, so helpless.
When I was young, I couldn't understand why my mother rarely smiled since she became ill, no matter how hard I studied and showed off my good grades in front of her, she would not smile at me, but slept every day, sleeping longer than I did.
Thinking about it at this time, my mother also had the idea of ending her life at that time, but it was only because of this concern for me that she struggled to support it, until she was finally killed by the disease! In fact, for her, leaving earlier may have been much less painful.
My thoughts slowly turned, and I couldn't help but take another sip of wine, the cold liquid could relieve the pain in my heart a little, and when the wine was dissipated, I felt that my cheeks were a little hot before I asked Chu Junxi, "What happened later?" What happened after Zhang Xiaofei jumped off the building? Is Sister Zhang entering the moon because of you? And you've known her for a long time, haven't you? ”
My series of questions pulled Chu Junxi's emotions out of the painful memories, he raised his eyes to look at me, and it took a long time before answering, "Yes, I did know Zhang Shumei for a long time, and I also knew that she entered the Rose Moon because of me, but her death has nothing to do with me. With that, he suddenly stood up and strode over to me.
As soon as my eyes darkened, I looked up at Chu Junxi, who had stopped only when he had walked in front of me, his eyes had returned to calm, but for some reason, I felt a little nervous, as if there was a little dangerous aura on him.
"Yun Ya, do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?" He leaned over slightly and asked me in a low voice.
As his question appeared, the originally brightly lit living room suddenly became pitch black, my heart suddenly twitched, I felt a cool breeze in the back of my head, and when my body stiffened, I felt something flash in the corner of my eye, and a girl's crisp but echoed words came from my ears, "Hello, Yun Ya, I'm Zhang Xiaofei." ”
I didn't have time to react at all, instinctively turned my head to look, and saw a girl in a white robe floating on the edge of the sofa, her long black hair was like silk draped over her shoulders, and her little face was as white as paper, two dark eyes looked at me quietly, and the black eyes were surrounded by mist, which reminded me of the adjective "watery", her small nose bridge, some dark green lips, was indeed Zhang Xiaofei's facial features in the daydream, but she had her own gusts of yin wind, and her face was also crossed by bursts of blue light from time to time, It was gloomy in the darkness, and I stiffened, and my hands holding wine glasses trembled uncontrollably.
