Chapter 11: News from My Sister
After leaving the underground street.
Liu Qiao and I went to a hot pot restaurant and asked for a private room.
As soon as he came up, Liu Qiao ordered frantically.
"The meal you owed me yesterday has to be made up for me today!"
"This! This one! This one! And this! ”
"That's all! Not enough to order again. ”
"The waiter serves some wine first!"
The waiter nodded, brought two dozen drinks, took the menu, and exited the private room.
Liu Qiaogan and I sat in the private room, and the air seemed a little dull.
I knew that I couldn't just let the atmosphere go on like that, so I opened a bottle of wine for Liu Qiao and broke the silence first. "Tell me what you know!"
Liu Qiao took the wine, poured it and poured it vigorously before speaking.
"I'm telling you, it's true that I was wrong about what happened before. I don't know about Xiaoya's situation, and it's my fault to laugh at your birth and background, and I apologize to you for that. But they bullied Xiaoya, and it wasn't just what I instructed! Later, Xiaoya left, which is not what I want to see! ”
Liu Qiao said this and poured another sip of wine, as if she needed to continue the wine before she dared to tell me.
"After Xiaoya left, I used my family connections to find her!"
I suddenly frowned, what does Liu Qiao mean by this?
Did she find Xiaoya?!
Why haven't I heard her mention it?
"Xiaoya later lived under the hole in the overpass! , If I had arrived a little later, Xiaoya might have been a homeless man..."Liu Qiao's words stopped here.
"Click!" A glass shattered in my palm.
Even if she hadn't gone on, I could have guessed it.
The wine was mixed with blood and flowed onto the table.
Liu Qiao was frightened by this scene, and hurriedly took out two pieces of paper to wipe my wounds.
I pushed her away, "Leave me alone, you go on, and then what?" ”
I pulled a rag next to me and wiped it on my hand, as a simple treatment.
"Don't worry, Xiaoya is fine, I asked the bodyguards to clean them up, I originally wanted to tell you the news, and later I also passed you countless notes and envelopes to talk to you, but you avoided me every time, and you threw away the envelopes and notes handed out, even if you asked Zhang Hu and them to block you, you just fought with them violently, and then scolded me again." Speaking of this, Liu Qiao glanced at me resentfully and continued, "So I secretly took care of her for a few months... But one day she disappeared. ”
Missing?
When I heard Liu Qiao's last three words, my heart twitched! I picked up the glass and poured it into my stomach, and remorse welled up in my heart.
It turned out that my sister never went far, and it was my negligence that caused her to be unable to join the group with me.
If I hadn't been so dead at the time, I would have saved face.
If only I could sit down and have a good talk with Liu Qiao at that time.
If I had been...
The little snow-white hand was on my shoulder and patted it gently.
"It's not your fault... It's because what I said that day was too ugly..."Liu Qiao's tone became gentle, and there was a hint of apology in his words, "If I hadn't said such ugly things at that time, maybe you and Xiaoya would have been reunited a long time ago!" ”
I shook my head, "I don't blame you, I'm going to pay for my actions after all..."
At the beginning, I was not directly involved in the violence, but my indifferent attitude may be the same as that of the abuser, and even to my sister, I am more evil than them!
But instead of blaming me, my sister still loved me like an angel.
Driving her out of the village is also a helpless move, rather than being sold by her father to the widow Wang to do the leather and meat business, perhaps leaving the village is the best choice for Xiaoya.
If only I had been stronger!
How nice it would be if I could protect Xiaoya at that time!
But yesterday Xiaoya didn't want to admit me, what is it like? Why is Xiaoya called Murong Ya?
I poked my head out and looked at Liu Qiao, trying to get the answer, "What happened later?" What happened to Xiaoya after that? ”
Liu Qiao sighed, "It should be amnesia, we can only learn that Xiaoya was taken away by a car from Kyoto." ”
"Kyoto? Murong? I thought of Xiaoya's surname and asked curiously.
"It should be, but as for why Xiaoya was taken away by the Murong family, I don't know." Liu Qiao shrugged his shoulders, "When I went to see Xiaoya for the last few times, Xiaoya had already begun to remember what happened a few days ago. ”
"Because of Xiaoya's identity..."Liu Qiao coughed lightly, crossed the back sentence, and jumped directly, "It's not easy for me to take her home, and I can't get my father to pay for her treatment." ”
I nodded, understandably.
In the box, there was cold silence again.
Soon the food we ordered was delivered.
Looking at the bottom of the red pot, I was a little distracted.
"At least that's good news, isn't it?" Liu Qiao hurriedly comforted me when he saw that I was distracted, "The Murong family is one of the old families in Kyoto!" ”
"Old family?" I don't know what Liu Qiao meant.
"The five major families in Kyoto are the three old families composed of Huangfu, Murong and Xiahou, followed by the rising Gao family and the Chen family!" Liu Qiao fed a large mouthful of beef brisket into his mouth. Then he took a sip of wine and continued, "The three old families have a long history, and the farthest Huangfu family can even be traced back to the Qin Dynasty!" And Murong and Xiahou can also be traced back to the Han Dynasty. ”
I nodded thoughtfully, maybe Xiahou Mingjun is from this Xiahou family, no wonder he has some strange tricks, it turns out to be the precipitation of history!
This also made me feel a little more at ease with Xiaoya.
Since Xiaoya is now backed by the Murong family, there is Xiahou Mingjun behind her to protect her.
Maybe I can develop my wings!
I picked up a piece of hairy belly, soaked it for more than ten seconds, and put it in Liu Qiao's bowl.
"Liu Qiao, you said Miss Gao, is it possible that she is from the Gao family in Kyoto?"
"It's unlikely, Miss Gao is in Jiangbei, how can the Gao family in the capital be involved?" Liu Qiao said, put the hairy belly in his mouth.
Chewing in large gulps, it looks very satisfying!
I nodded with a wry smile.
It's also how I could come up with such a ridiculous idea.
How could Miss Gao be a member of the Gao family in Kyoto?
Even if it is, it has nothing to do with me!
"Liu Qiao, I heard that you went to college in Jinling?" I gave Liu Qiao a piece of meat, "What kind of city is Jinling?" ”
"Jinling is big, several times bigger than ours here!" Liu Qiao's eyes rolled in his eyes, "Why do you want to come to Jinling to develop?" ”
I really want to go to Jinling to develop, Xiaoya is fine, I naturally want to make a good result, and I will stand by Xiaoya's side in the future.
But when I was asked, I felt a little uncomfortable. "I haven't thought about it yet."
"Okay, if you come to Jinling, remember to play with me! I went to school at Jinling Art Institute, the best conservatory in Jiangbei! ”
As soon as he talked about college, Liu Qiao felt a sense of pride.
Looking at her sparkling appearance, my expression darkened even more.
If I hadn't dropped out of school that year, would I have been able to go to university?
What does a university look like?
I drank a lot of wine, glass after glass.
I don't know if it's because of my friend's success, or because of the joy of knowing that Xiaoya is okay.
I don't know if it's because I blame myself for my failures, or if I regret not being able to get into college.
Thousands of expulsions were drawn into a net in my mind, prompting me to numb myself with alcohol.
