[029] Collateral
On this day, I chatted with Lu Zhenyu for a long time.
She really loves to cry, she keeps crying.
She asked me how I had lived for the past two years, and talked about our past. She emotionally described the time when I was also sixteen years old, I saved a sum of money, went to Hangzhou alone to pick her up, snatched her back from my uncle, and the two resolutely boarded the train to the north. At that time, after the two of them bought train tickets with the money, there were only a few coins left, and I made the decision to buy steamed buns with all the remaining coins, and there was hot water on the car, and cold steamed buns were eaten with hot water.
"I said, it turns out that the big steamed buns are so delicious. When I have money, I want to buy a basket to eat! You still laugh at me for being stupid. Lu Zhenyu laughed out loud as he spoke.
In her story, I am like a heroine.
I know that memories are embellished by the years, and suffering will always be colored with romance. There is inevitably an element of exaggeration in the description.
But I really, I can't remember what she said. It's like a thick wall. You can't touch, you can't see, you can't hear, and even if you try to imagine it, there will be no similar picture to correspond to.
I can only listen to her narrative, not respond to it.
"Sister, do you remember that we went to climb the mountain......
She paused and looked at me suddenly.
"Uh......" I tried to give a positive reaction, but got stuck, "I'm sorry, I don't remember." ”
I was too wooden to hide my stiffness.
She apologized to me with a stunned expression: "I'm sorry, I forgot for a while, you don't remember the past." ”
"It's okay."
She held my hand: "Don't be afraid, with me, I will definitely remember." Let's go home, our house is still in the old place, I haven't moved out, and your room is still the same. ”
"I'm ...... for the time being. Gotta stay outside......
I already knew that she had obtained my phone number from Lin Xuanyan. And about my living in the lawyer's house, Lin Xuanyan didn't tell her.
About Lin Xuanyan...... I'm a little wary.
Seeing that I refused, she said obediently: "I understand, then you can tell me at any time when you want to go back." ”
"That won't bother you."
"What kind of trouble, why does my sister have to say such things to me, I'm sorry." She sneered.
"Thank you...... Uh...... "It seems too rusty to say thank you, but I don't know what to say other than thank you."
I'm a little embarrassed.
To this, she smiled tolerantly.
Before saying goodbye, she took out a photo album from her bag and handed it to me: "I think my sister will really want to see this." ”
Seeing that I was confused, she immediately explained, "It's your album." I took it from the bookshelf in your room. ”
I took it with trepidation: "My ...... Photo? ”
"Well, photos from childhood to adulthood." After she finished speaking, she imagined romantically, "Maybe, after reading it, my sister will be able to 'swish' and remember the past!" ”
"I hope so." I'm sorry.
The doctor once told me that the recovery period would be long, so I was mentally prepared.
The human brain is so sensitive and fragile. In a dream, I remember the past, which is the exaggeration of film and television dramas. Reality, often without such miracles. However, if God has mercy, he is willing to give me a blessing. I pray that I can remember the past.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel embarrassed, solemnly picked up the album, and carefully flipped through it.
Turning the first page, I was secretly satisfied with a little pride - behold, I am also a person with pictures of my childhood!
Looking at those photos, my heart swells with strange and unfamiliar, trance and certainty.
I noticed that the album is arranged chronologically.
At first, it was a small person with a big fat round face, and I didn't recognize that person was me. Gradually, the villain grew up slowly, his facial features were fixed, and he grew into what he is today.
At the front of the album, almost all of them are solo photos. Later, it was all sisters taking a group photo. I asked Lu Zhenyu in a group photo, which one is me and which one is her? Answer: She is the one who smiles like a flower, and I am the one who does not smile.
Then, in high school, it seems that from one day, there was an extra teenager in the group photo of the sisters.
I recognized the young man as Xu Chen......
There weren't many photos from elementary school and junior high school, and there were many empty spots. It seems that the photo has been pasted, and the traces are seen, as if they were torn off later.
"Are there any photos of these empty spaces?"
Lu Zhenyu: "I don't know. There were no pictures when I saw them, and I thought my sister did it on purpose. ”
What surprised me the most was that the last photo of the album was a group photo. There are about a dozen people in the photo. In addition to me and Lu Zhenyu, I also saw Lu Zhaochuan, Su Weining, Xu Chen, and Lin Xuanyan in the group photo......
I know this photo, I saw it in Ritsu Zhaochuan's study, and at that time, I just glanced at it in a hurry, and Ritsu Zhaochuan was furious.
It turns out that we have a lot of connections.
What the hell is going on with our group......
The thought of this makes my heart beat wildly.
Saying goodbye to Lu Zhenyu, I returned to the law house with Lu Zhaochuan. Along the way, I was nervous. It was because I didn't say goodbye to flee before, and a big living person suddenly disappeared, which must have caused them a lot of trouble......
Ritsu Zhaochuan glanced at me: "I told them that you were temporarily sent on a business trip for a few days. You speak carefully. ”
"Oh." I was grateful.
Sure enough, when Secretary Gao saw me coming back, he routinely asked me a few words, and he didn't say anything. Qingqing stood behind her and winked at me.
Lu Zhaochuan chatted with Secretary Gao for a few more words before leaving.
I immediately chased after him and shouted at his back, "She invited me to visit her studio tomorrow." ”
Ritsu Zhaochuan stopped and turned to stare at me. He knows who I'm talking about.
Ritsu Chuan Moriran: "Mu Xuezhou, what do you want to spy on from me?" ”
Seeing that he suddenly showed sharp long thorns around me, I was a little embarrassed and helpless: "Lu Zhaochuan, don't be like a porcupine, no one will hurt you, and I don't dare to hurt you......"
"If you're not afraid of being completely exposed." Ritsu Zhaochuan directly cut off my words.
I wondered, "What do you mean?" ”
"Do you need me to remind you to be cautious in what you say and do?" He pressed forward towards me step by step, "Mu Xuezhou, you have to recognize your own identity, you are a collateral!" ”
My chest twitched heavily, and my chest suddenly rose and fell slightly: "Lu Zhaochuan, you are too much!" My dad is not the kind of person you say, please apologize! And promised not to say such things again in the future. ”
"Why, what!"
Ritsu Zhaochuan snorted coldly from his nose and turned around and left. In a moment, he returned, with an extra brown paper bag in his hand.
He stood still in front of me and asked, "Let me ask you, how many chemical elements do you remember?" How many chemical formulas? Do you remember how to match the level? ”
“……”
He threw the brown paper bag back into my arms: "Keep your eyes open and see what is here?" ”
I unscrewed the buckle as I said and pulled out the contents of it: resume, academic qualifications, medical records, and ...... Photo. It's a photo of mom and dad and their daughter.
Lu Zhaochuan explained indifferently from the side: "The girl in the photo is the daughter of Mu Rusheng and Lin Ruyin. Growing up in Licheng, he went to college in Longcheng, majored in chemistry, and worked in Licheng Food Group. He died four years ago. Except that he died of illness, is it exactly the same as your so-called resume? ”
I was speechless. That's exactly what Dad taught me.
"I already know that." I replied indifferently and was about to stuff the materials back, but Ritsu Zhaochuan squeezed my hand, and he stopped me from stuffing the materials back.
"Ji Minshan told you that because Lin Ruyin was in a trance and mistook you for her daughter, Mu Rusheng adopted you in desperation."
"Yes. I can understand ......"
"Understanding ......"
Ritsu Zhaochuan laughed. His expression suddenly became evil. I looked at his arrogant laughter, and I was a little lacking in confidence.
"Then why are you not Mu Yueling, but Mu Xuezhou?" He asked rhetorically.
I was about to argue, shocked, and looked down at my resume.
Mu Yueling.
Resume, Education, Work Card...... The names on it are all Mu Yueling. It turned out that she was not called Mu Xuezhou, but Mu Yueling......
"Mu Rusheng completely grafted Mu Yueling's resume and experience to you. You should be 'Mu Yueling', but you are 'Mu Xuezhou', why? ”
Why?
I don't know, how would I know......
Ritsu Zhaochuan kept throwing out messages, and I couldn't react anymore, and I started to get dizzy.
As we confronted us, the night drew to a close. Ritsu Zhaochuan's facial features gradually melted into the night. I couldn't see his face clearly, and I couldn't see his expression. Only the cold voice kept ringing in my ears.
"Mu Rusheng forced you to recite everything about Mu Yueling, completely transformed you into her, and then sent you to the lawyer's house to get financial support. Because, Mu Rusheng knows that only the name 'Mu Xuezhou' can poke the weakness in the old man's heart, and only the person with this name can get the support of gold from his pocket! Because, when the child was born, the old man gave him the name - Selangor! ”
He approached step by step.
I stepped back.
Lu Zhaochuan's voice suddenly turned cold: "So, you are the collateral carefully designed by Mu Rusheng!" ”
Beads of sweat were dripping from my forehead, and I pretended to be calm: "This is all your speculation. ”
"Then you say, why don't you have a mobile phone? Why do your family members still play with handwritten letters when they communicate with each other? Why didn't Mu Rusheng tell you his address in the United States and not tell you his phone number? You say, if he knew, I could debunk this lie at a glance, would he dare to play this trick of stealing beams and changing pillars? ”
I couldn't stop his rhetoric, and he forced me to retreat step by step, powerless.
I muttered, "It must not be ...... as you say"
"When I told you that if you escaped from the lawyer's house, the old man would cut off the gold source of Mu Rusheng and Lin Ruyin in the United States, and you who were originally righteous and strong died down in an instant. Do you dare to say that you don't have the slightest suspicion about your pair of false parents?
Inside the chest, there is a violent heartbeat.
My vision blurred: "Enough! Say no more! ”
I crouched down and covered my ears tightly.
Ritsu Zhaochuan was not ready to let me go, he bent over, attached to my ear, and said softly: "I naturally won't hinder your sisterhood, but you have to think about it carefully......"
