Chapter 195: The Debt of Cause and Effect That Can't Be Escaped
That night, I told Li Zhao all my guesses, which were divided into three time nodes.
First, when I was 19 years old, Xia Ruofei used her relationship with me to steal the information that my father kept in the safe, and then brought down Furun;
Second, before Song Qingyi was about to go abroad, he hit him with a car, but he still used the Li family's car, so that even if Song Qingyi traced it back afterwards, he would only think that it was the Li family's doing, and would not think of Xia Ruofei's head;
Third, Tang Jia didn't know why he learned about the above two things, so Xia Ruofei did it to Tang Jia in order to protect herself.
After I finished speaking, my pores stood up, I recalled that Xia Ruofei and I began to get acquainted by accident, she asked me what reference materials and other things to borrow, and since then she has often talked to me, at that time Xia Ruofei looked soft and weak, and she was also very kind, plus she was originally a classmate, and I didn't have any heart, so I got acquainted with it after coming and going.
Because I was very arrogant at that time, I often had a desire to protect a weak girl like Xia Ruofei, but I really didn't expect that such a girl who looked as harmless as the little white rabbit, Nima actually had a heart for Mama!!
It's very unacceptable to me, I can't use the word shock to describe it, and I can't say that it subverts the three views, I feel like I don't even know what the three views are!
While I was scratching my ears and cheeks, desperately squeezing my IQ, Li Zhao was smoking a cigarette like a second uncle, staring at me casually, and spit out a sentence without hurry: "Stupid!" ”
I suddenly looked up and asked him what he meant, and he flicked the cigarette ash and slowly opened his mouth: "Your speculation seems to match, but the reality is full of loopholes, how can a 19-year-old girl who has not dried up have a good ability to open the safe with one hand?" How can you turn those seemingly innocent materials into a weapon to kill your dad? Do you think our Li family's car can be driven around and hit people by an irrelevant distant relative? As for Tang Jia, I'm afraid he did touch something that shouldn't be touched, and what does this have to do with Xia Ruofei, I'm afraid only the two of them know!
Xia Ruofei is indeed a key figure in these incidents, and she does have her own little Jiujiu, but I don't think she can do it all! ”
After listening to Li Zhao's words, I fell into deep thought, and suddenly felt that my brain was a little in arrears, and the rhythm of brain cells was obviously not enough to think about this kind of thing!
Then Li Zhao snuffed out the cigarette and said slowly: "But she can't do it, it doesn't mean that the Xia family can't do it, it's just that I haven't understood what the Xia family's purpose is for your family!" ”
I looked at Li Zhao stunned for a while, and immediately went back to the room to start packing up my things, Li Zhao followed up and asked me what I was doing, I said I was going to find Uncle Zhang, we must have ignored something critical, maybe Uncle Zhang knew!
Li Zhao snatched the clothes I was folding and said, "It's eight o'clock now, and it's midnight when you get there, do you plan to drag the old man out of bed in the early morning to talk to you?" ”
As soon as he said it, I realized the time problem, he touched my head and said softly: "Don't think about it, take a bath and sleep first, and I'll accompany you early tomorrow morning." ”
I looked up at him, "Haven't you been busy lately?" ”
His eyebrows were gentle: "I don't worry about you going to another place." ”
So I obediently listened to Li Zhao's words and went to bed early, and then he drove out of Shanghai early the next morning.
Uncle Zhang went back to his wife's hometown to care for the elderly since he was ill, his wife is from Yangzhou, and it was noon when we arrived there, Uncle Zhang's wife prepared a table of meals to entertain us, which made us embarrassed.
But Uncle Zhang has been a lot better since he came back to retire, to be honest, after the collapse of Furun, I feel that I have no face to come back to see Uncle Zhang, and when I see him again this time, he doesn't seem to be as persistent as before, and he hasn't mentioned the past again.
It was to see that Li Zhao was still very respectful, and after eating we took us to his small backyard, where an osmanthus tree was planted, fragrant, and there was a chessboard in the courtyard.
Mrs. Uncle Zhang served tea and fruit for us, and Uncle Zhang politely entertained Li Zhao: "Mr. Li, I didn't expect you to come in person today, the cold house is simple, don't mind." ”
I grabbed Li Zhao's hand with crooked eyebrows: "Please, Uncle Zhang, you are retired, he is not your leader now, he is a little kid in front of you, don't use honorifics, it's weird." ”
Li Zhao smiled and put my hand in his palm, and Uncle Zhang was also happy: "What kind of blessing is the girl in this life, cultivate a good man." ”
After chatting about the recent situation, I directly told Xia Ruofei about it, Uncle Zhang frowned and thought for a long time, and said to himself: "Xia Ruofei? Xia Ruofei? ”
As if he didn't know this person at all, at this moment Li Zhao opened his mouth: "Xia Bin's daughter!" ”
When Li Zhao said this, I obviously saw Uncle Zhang's pupils shrink, and the whole person seemed to fall into memory, his brows were furrowed more and more, and then he asked Li Zhao: "What are you talking about, but the Xia Bin who opened a garment factory in the early years and made a lot of money at that time, and later the garment factory closed down and started to engage in foreign trade?" ”
Li Zhao nodded: "Exactly." ”
Uncle Zhang immediately slapped his head and said with a distorted expression: "Retribution!" What a retribution! ”
Li Zhao and I took a look at each other, and only later did Zhang Bo tell the story of that year.
Uncle Zhang asked me if I remember, last time he mentioned it to me, saying that my mother and my dad were not together for a long time, and a rich and powerful man wanted her, she didn't obey, and she was beaten half to death, and when she came back, she cried and asked my dad to take her away, and that night my dad almost took a knife to hack the bastard to death, and was later stopped by Uncle Zhang when he was young!
According to Uncle Zhang's recollection, if he guessed correctly, the rich and powerful man at that time should be Xia Bin, although my father never mentioned it to Uncle Zhang.
But not long after Furun, my dad spent a lot of money to buy out a large order from Xia Bin, which led to the monopoly of the garment factory's turnover that year, and gradually lost money, and soon there were problems and collapsed!
Now that Uncle Zhang thinks about it, he says that with his understanding of my father, he would not have done it for no reason at that time, and now he thinks that there is only one reason why he did it, to avenge my mother!
After coming out of Uncle Zhang, my mood was not relaxed because I learned the truth, but felt even heavier!
Li Zhao saw that I was a little tired, so he said that he would not go back today, he saw that I was depressed, took my hand and walked in this small city in the south of the Yangtze River, and took me to eat those snacks.
At night on the ancient canal, with the neon lights shining and the tranquil waves, I suddenly stopped and sat on a bench by the river, staring at the pavilions reflected in a wave of water.
"Wrap 100,000 yuan around your waist, ride a crane down to Yangzhou", this was once the most prosperous and extravagant place in the south of the Yangtze River, how many powerful people gathered, and the people who shine on the water are not as good as people, and now people are not as good as flowers.
After the fall of Furun, I was stunned, I didn't understand that I had worked so hard and paid all the hardships, why I still couldn't hold on in the end?
I always thought that that was my life, and in my life, what I desperately wanted to get was always empty.
But today I realized that all the accidents in life are destined, the cycle of cause and effect, and no one can escape the rings of the years and those dusty old pasts.
If my mother hadn't been with my dad at the beginning, there would have been no Furun, my dad brought down the Xia family for my mother, and after several turns, in the end, Furun still died in the hands of the Xia family, everything was empty!
In this world, there is no hatred rising from the ground, there is no sudden wind, there are only stormy waves that we don't know!
Li Zhao grabbed my shoulder, I leaned on his shoulder slightly, and opened my mouth gently: "I'm sorry! ”
He looked down at me puzzled, my eyes moistened: "Our family has misunderstood you for so many years, I'm sorry, if it weren't for you, my dad would have gone after he went in, you have helped us guard for so many years, and in the end we still can't escape the word 'life'." ”
I reached out and hugged him tightly: "I'm sorry..."
Li Zhao lowered his head and kissed my hair: "I'm your man, I'm sorry to tell me!" ”
There was a faint sadness in the air that night, and I snuggled up to Li Zhao's arms like a child, and he smiled and said, "Yes, I'm your mother again!" ”
Li Zhao and I stayed in this ancient Yangzhou for one night, and rushed back to Shanghai the next day, on the way I asked him incomprehensibly: "You say, even if the Xia family messes with my dad and Tang Jia, it's reasonable, so why bumper with Song Qingyi?" He is not surnamed Tang, besides, Xia Ruofei loves him so much! ”
