Chapter 26: The Woman in the Photo
Wang Huai didn't notice that something was wrong with me, because he was in a hurry to board the plane, he only hugged me and hurriedly said goodbye to me.
Watching Wang Huai disappear into the crowd, I felt empty in my heart, the woman in the photo became a knot in my heart, and I had a bad idea in my heart, I always felt that Wang Huai was with me for some purpose......
After I went back, I lost my energy because of this incident, and spent half a month in the villa in a daze, but Xu Cheng came back one morning.
Seeing me sitting in the living room in a daze, he also sat in front of me with a tired face, poured a saliva and drank it, and asked me what was wrong?
"Mr. Xu, are you back?"
I looked back at him, and neither of them seemed to have any energy, and they couldn't help but laugh when they looked at each other.
Since the last time Xu Cheng left after reading the letter, I haven't understood what he did, and I didn't bother to ask, but I hesitated about Wang Huai asking me to leave next month.
My mom hasn't called me for a long time, she told me that my brother dropped out of school, people don't know where to run, she and my dad went crazy, called the police and looked for a few days but didn't look for it, crying and asking me what to do?
Listening to this bunch of at home, I had a headache, I didn't reply to her for a long time, my dad has been next to her, and when he saw that I didn't say anything, he grabbed the phone and scolded, and it was those ugly old words, I listened to it and didn't feel it, let him scold over there.
I lay in bed and slept after hanging up, too lazy to bother with all that.
Xu Cheng rarely went to work after he came back, because I didn't know his work, I never asked much, and I was only responsible for my own work.
I lost contact with Wang Huai for more than half a month, and when he came back, he called me and said that he missed me.
Originally, I must have been very excited about this kind of thing, but this time I heard him say these words, my heart was unusually calm, and I didn't answer his question for a long time.
"What's wrong with you?"
Wang Huai seemed to sense that something was wrong with me, and couldn't help but ask me out loud.
"It's okay, what did you just say?"
I asked him, and there was silence on the other side.
Wang Huai still made an appointment for me to meet in the evening, I thought about it, or went, by the way, who is the woman in the photo, and some things, I still want to hear him understand.
"Here we are."
Wang Huai sat in the car and looked at me and said, there was an extra scar on his eyebrows, my heart jumped, and I asked him where the injury came from?
"Let's get in the car first."
Wang Huai looked at me with tired eyes, and I could only go up first.
After getting in the car, I first asked him what he had been doing in the past half a month, and he only came back today, and he still had a wound on his face.
"I went to do a big thing, and I scratched some skin, why are you distressed or disgusted?"
Wang Huai looked at me and smiled bitterly, my expression was still flat when I heard his words, Wang Huai instantly noticed my emotions, and asked me if I was hiding something from him.
"On the day I delivered your things, I saw a photo in your ID book."
I confessed lifelessly, that while it was shameful to peek at other people's stuff, it was completely pointless now.
Wang Huai didn't seem to expect me to say such a thing, and his expression darkened.
"You've seen it all."
He was so focused on driving that he didn't know where he was going.
She ...... Who is it? ”
I still couldn't help but ask Wang Huai, I was a little scared and unwilling in my heart.
"She's my sister-in-law, and she's been missing for more than 20 years."
Wang Huai said, and finally turned the car to a place where no one was around.
"Your sister-in-law?"
I was surprised to hear this, and finally turned my head to look at Wang Huai.
"Yes, when I was a child, my family didn't have time to take care of my sister and me, and my sister-in-law has been taking care of us."
Wang Huai held the steering wheel and spoke, his eyes staring ahead, his thoughts seemed to have returned to a long time ago.
Wang Huai's family is a big family, his grandparents gave birth to three children, his father is the eldest, and there is an uncle below, and the youngest is his sister-in-law.
Wang Huai and his sister's parents were busy with work, so they left him and his sister in the care of his grandparents, but it was the little aunt who accompanied them in childhood.
Wang Huai said that he was very naughty when he was a child, and he was often beaten at that time, obviously five or six years old, but he always did something that caused adults to have a headache, and every time he beat him up, his sister-in-law would hold him and coax him, so he especially liked his sister-in-law, but until his sister-in-law was in her twenties, one day she had a fight with her family, and the person disappeared forever, and her grandparents were sad for a long time.
And Wang Huai's father and uncle have been looking for their sister for those years, but this girl has evaporated from the world and has never appeared again.
Wang Huai still looked out the window, and finished talking about these things with a fluttering look in his eyes.
"I'm sorry."
I apologized to him after listening to it, I didn't know that there was such a past hidden behind the photo, but when I knew that Wang Huai said that he liked his sister-in-law very much, did the first time he saw me, he associated me with his sister-in-law who had been missing for many years.
Thinking of this, all memories go back to the first time I met Lu Chenyang's mother, she also looked at me with that kind of surprised gaze, I didn't think much about it at the time, and now it seems that the other party just can't believe that a strange woman is exactly the same as the sister-in-law who has been missing for twenty years.
"It's okay, it's all over, it's not supposed to hide it from you."
Wang Huai looked at me, took my hand and said sincerely, the reason why he didn't tell me these old things was because he was afraid that I would think too much, but he didn't know that I would find that picture myself.
"And your sister-in-law, what's her name?"
I asked her curiously, because I had seen that photo before, and I really thought it was incredible, except for twins, there really are two people in the world who are unrelated and look exactly the same.
"Wang Qin, my grandparents' favorite little daughter."
Wang Huai sighed and said, I hurriedly comforted him, saying that maybe his sister-in-law is still alive, but he can't come back to see them for the time being.
I didn't think about this nonsense, but Wang Huai's eyes lit up when he heard it, and asked me if I knew why he had been going for half a month?
Seeing that his attitude changed so quickly, I became curious and asked him what he was doing.
"My parents are in business, and they deal with all kinds of bigwigs in the southeast region all the year round, and my dad has not forgotten to find his sister-in-law for so many years. My dad asked someone to introduce him to the master and asked him to calculate a hexagram for my sister-in-law, but after the master finished the calculation, he only told him that my sister-in-law was still alive, but maybe we would never see her until we died in this life. ”
After Wang Huai finished telling me, I asked him why? Why did his sister-in-law still live but refused to come back to see them?
"Deliberately avoiding us."
Wang Huai said, a strange expression appeared on his face, which made me scratch my head.
So this Wang Qin, she has been alive for the past 20 years since she disappeared, but she just didn't come back to see her relatives? Is this a monk so ruthless, I can't help but think.
"I remember that your uncle is also a Taoist priest, didn't he count it for her at the beginning? Why do your parents have to go outside to count? ”
