Chapter 72: See you at the graveyard at three o'clock in the morning
Wen put down his mobile phone, brushed his teeth, washed and went back to the house to sleep.
Meet at the cemetery at 3 a.m.?
What can be done by a serious person.
She's not stupid, so she won't believe it!
Wen Yan repeatedly muttered in his heart things like scammers' text messages and fools' only believers.
I don't know if I want to brainwash myself.
She lay on the bed, her eyes closed, hypnotizing her nerves.
It's just that I can't help but turn on my phone and glance at the unknown text message.
In the end, she simply pressed the shutdown button.
Out of sight is pure!
She forced herself to fall asleep, and her consciousness struggled for dozens of minutes, but she really fell asleep.
The moment the clock hand struck 12, Wen Yan struggled to wake up from his sleep.
It's as if I'm always dreaming, sleepy, tired, and extraordinarily active.
She sighed, lay down with her eyes open for a while, got up and sat up, went to the bathroom and washed her face with cold water, and the whole person was much more sober.
After changing her clothes and putting on a coat, she went out alone on a night bus.
Twilight Manor is remote and there are no direct buses.
When she arrived at a nearby station, she saw that it didn't look like she could get a taxi nearby, so she simply walked over.
To her surprise, the door was open, as if waiting for her to come.
I don't know why, but this scene in front of her reminded her of the many supernatural and horror movies she had watched.
Her footsteps stopped in front of the gate of the cemetery, and she hesitated, not knowing whether to go in or not.
She's afraid of the dark......
I'm still afraid of ghosts......
The main thing is that the feeling of scaring yourself constantly in your head is too infiltrating.
Especially in the cemetery, it was pitch black, and there was not even a single light.
It was as if it was a monster that would wake up at any moment and swallow her in one bite......
After swallowing twice, she cheered herself up in her heart, and finally took the first step forward.
The text message didn't say where they were going to meet in the Twilight Cemetery......
So now, she can only move forward by feeling.
However, looking at everything here, I think the other party has been prepared.
It is even very likely that it is to play tricks here and intimidate her psychologically.
I don't know if it's because I'm distracted from thinking about these things......
Wen Yan wasn't too scared at this time.
She walked forward fearlessly.
It didn't stop until the location of the central garden.
On a garden bench, a man was sitting at the moment.
He wears a trench coat, a style that has only become popular in the last century......
The man just looked at her and smiled, nodded and didn't speak.
Wen Yan looked at the person, his eyes were a little stunned, and he couldn't help but speak out for a long time: "Dad? ”
Wen Yu looked at people's eyes and became a little more loving.
He stretched out his hand towards the person, but he didn't want Wen Yan to shake his head and step back further.
"Xiao Yan......" heard Yu and shouted helplessly.
Wen Yan was slightly stunned and stopped: "Second uncle? ”
She shouted unsurely.
Wen Yu sighed, and hummed helplessly: "I'm sorry, I ......"
"You texted me to get to the Late Winter Cemetery at 3:00 a.m.?" Wen Yan had calmed down at the moment, and there were no emotional fluctuations on his face.
Wen Yu hesitated slightly, and finally hummed: "It's me." ”
"Are you sick?"
Wen Yan glared: "In the middle of the night, you asked me to meet at the cemetery?" ”
Hearsay: ......
He never thought that Wen Yan, who had been married to the capital for a few years, would become so grumpy.
Once upon a time, she had always been soft-spoken, lively but also docile.
"I'm sorry, I also have to ......" Wen Yu smiled bitterly: "You also know that I am not free at home, and this matter is not easy to let your aunt and them know, so I can only use this way, plus ......"
He also wanted to make sure if Wen Yan still cared about Wen Ting's news.
"Then why are you wearing your father's clothes?"
Wen Yan is more scrutinizing this second uncle at the moment.
She stared at the other person, "I don't think you're a good excuse." ”
What normal person would ask his niece to meet in the cemetery in the middle of the night?
"This dress is actually a set that I have with your father, but I have never worn it in front of people, this is the first time I wear it, and it may be the last time I wear it."
Wen Yu smiled.
Wen Yan looked at the person puzzled.
"I know you're going to have a lot of doubts in your mind." Wen Yu smiled lovingly: "Sit down and listen to me talk to you slowly, okay?" ”
He didn't let Wen Yan sit next to him, but pointed to the bench opposite.
The wooden benches are just as chilly in the middle of the night.
Wen Yu was very considerate and handed someone a cotton mat.
"Actually, you are not related to me by blood."
After the others sat down, Wen Yu spoke: "Although your name is Wen Yan, you are not a child of our family, but Wen Cheng insisted on it, and the old man had nothing to do, so he could only follow his heart and obey his wishes......
If you hear the metaphor, if it was in the past, it may be shocking to Wen Yan.
Now, her expression has not changed, like a bystander who only listens to other people's stories.
"In order not to let you be wronged, he chose to take you to live abroad with him, and even married a wife outside...... It's a foreign wife. ”
Wen Yu smiled: "I used to think that since he settled abroad, he should never come back." ”
His expression changed slightly, and he was silent for a long time before continuing: "I never thought he would come back!" I didn't expect that he would come back after marrying a wife and settling abroad and having a family. ”
Wen Yan looked at him with countless dark thoughts in his heart.
But the more she thought about it, the more she felt bloody.
In the end, I simply left all the messy thoughts in my head.
Her eyes fell on Wen Yu, and she didn't say anything, waiting to hear him continue.
"I'm twins with your dad, exactly the same kind...... The two of us are like copy-and-paste people in this world. We seem to be the same everywhere, but we are different everywhere. ”
Wen Yu smiled: "Because he was born a little earlier than Ju, he is the elder brother...... Because his initials come before me, even if we have the same grades, he will always be number one and I will be number two. ”
He looked at Wen Yan, always with love: "Do you know the feeling of living under his aura all the time, but not inferior to him at all?" ”
"No matter how hard I try, I will never be able to surpass him." He smiled, "I can only try, exactly like he did...... But like this, I will never be able to get out of his aura. ”
Wen Yu couldn't stop smiling bitterly: "It's as if there is no one like me in this world, I'm so dim, I'm as good as him, but I live like a waste." ”
"You should have guessed what happened next...... He was sent out, and I stayed at home. ”
Wen Yu smiled: "I originally thought that it would be good for him to go out, at least like this, no one will fight with me anymore, and I don't have to live under his halo, and I will be unknown for the rest of my life." ”
But a few years after he was just proud, he came back with the news that Wen Cheng was coming back.
"To be honest, I'm really one of those people who really doesn't want him back." Wen Yu opened his mouth openly.
He sighed: "But it wasn't until he really died that I began to regret it...... For so many years, I didn't cherish the relationship between our brothers, and I have been living in the midst of complaining, jealous and resentful of his excellence, and wasting those good times in vain. ”
"How the hell did my dad die?" Wen Yan interrupted Wen Yu's reminiscences and remorse.
Hearing the metaphor, he said: "Being hunted down and killed...... You know, the work he does involves a lot of secrets, and when those people saw that he insisted on coming back, they killed him. ”
Wen Yan frowned, obviously already doubting this result because of Wen Yu's previous words.
"At that time, he was about to return to China...... But there is still no one on the other side to get it. ”
Wen Yu said: "After that person succeeded, he even wanted to escape to the country very arrogantly. ”
He spoke as if comforting: "But you can rest assured, that person is completely cold before he can enter the country." ”
Wen Yan frowned.
"You should know about Shangduan's hit-and-run, right?" Wen Yu said suddenly.
Wen Yan looked at him and didn't speak.
Wen Yu didn't mind, and continued: "He caused the incident at the border. ”
He smiled: "I think you have already guessed that the one who was killed in that accident was the murderer of your father." ”
"Don't you think it's ridiculous to say something like that? I don't think life will have such a bloody plot. Wen Yan said.
Wen Yu seemed to have expected it, and comforted people: "Don't get excited first, listen to what I say." ”
He motioned for someone to sit down first, and listened to him continue.
"Shang Duan didn't run away directly after hitting someone, but stepped forward very boldly to let people check it out."
Wen Yu said: "During this period, I found out that there was news about your father...... At that time, everyone in China didn't know that something had happened to your father, and Shang Duan could be regarded as the first person to know. ”
He said: "Your father once entrusted the Shang family to buy real estate in your name, and Shang Duan saw that he had an accident, so he had the idea of these real estate in his heart. ”
Wen Yan suddenly couldn't understand Wen Yu, and he didn't know what he was saying this.
"For Shang Duan's thoughts, the old man of the Shang family naturally won't agree."
Wen Yu didn't seem to see Wen Yan's puzzled expression, and continued to say: "But there is no absolute in anything in this world, and the old man of the Shang family disagreed at first, because the real estate land at that time was not worth anything at all. ”
He said: "Later, these things faintly began to appreciate, and your father's death can basically be qualified, but because of his identity, many things have not been made public." The old man of the Shang family, who originally didn't take these ideas for himself, gradually gave birth to other ideas......"
Wen Yan looked at the person with some shock, very suspicious of what he heard.
"But the old man of the Shang family didn't dare or wanted to do things in the end, at least he didn't listen to Shang Duan's advice, and directly and quietly, took all the things left by your father as his own, but came to the Wen family, mentioned the friendship between the two Shang Wen families back then, and asked Shang Qiaobai to marry you!"
Wen Yu smiled, slightly sarcastic: "He intends to use this way to indirectly take possession of the property that your father left you." ”
Wen Yan frowned slightly, but he didn't doubt the truth of this matter too much, because these are not completely traceable.
But what she couldn't understand was......
Wen Yu lured her to this point, and said these things, what is the purpose.
"Second uncle, did you call me here just to tell me these things?" She asked, looking at the person.
Wen Yu shook his head, and finally nodded: "Sort of......"
He smiled: "I just think that you should know these truths, don't be confused, and treat the Shang family as a good person." ”
"Since you already know this, second uncle, why did you agree to me marrying into the Shang family?"
Wen Yan looked at the people, and had many doubts about Wen Yu's behavior and statement: "Since you know that the Shang family has bad intentions, why did you try your best to promote this marriage in the first place?" ”
She said: "When the old man of the Shang family first came to mention the family matter, the grandfather was actually very hesitant, and it was the active persuasion of the second uncle next to you that finally reached the agreement on this marriage. ”
Wen Yu heard her say this, and the corners of her mouth were always smiling.
"Second uncle, what is your purpose?" Wen Yan asked.
Wen Yu smiled bitterly: "I know, your life in the Wen family is not easy, your second aunt is stingy, she is not willing to support you more, even if you actually don't spend much money from the second uncle's family...... Staying in such a home will not do you any good. ”
He said: "Since the Shang family has a plan, I won't embarrass you if I want to...... After all, you still have what they want. ”
That sounds reasonable.
But Wen Yan still felt that it was too far-fetched and didn't make sense at all.
But Wen Yu obviously didn't intend to explain, and kept talking about him left and right, trying to get away with all kinds of vague words.
"Is the second uncle finished talking now?" Wen Yan simply stopped asking, and looked at the person with a straight look: "Is there anything else you want to say?" ”
Wen Yu shook his head: "No." ”
He smiled and said, "I think everything I want to say to you has already been said." ”
"Then I'll go back." Wen Yan got up and said.
This time, Wen Yu did not stop again.
He looked at Wen Yan's figure gradually moving away, and after the others disappeared, he looked up at the sky that had begun to turn white, and said to himself with a wry smile: "I still can't bear to tell her her true life experience...... Brother, not only do you treat her as your own daughter, but I also want to. ”
Wen Yu sat on the bench in a daze for a long time, and only walked into the cemetery at dawn, and lit three incense sticks in front of one of the tombstones.
"Since your daughter has already taken the name Wenyan, let's let her continue to be the girl of my Wen family." He sat down in front of the tombstone and muttered.
