"Hello madam, my husband and Miss Xu are old acquaintances, and when I heard the news of her death, I came to worship and mourn." Xiao Qi stepped forward and spoke.

Hearing this, He Yuefang looked at Shen Che from head to toe with suspicion.

Soon, a warm and flattering smile appeared on her slightly obese face: "It turned out to be a friend of the soul, please come in quickly, please come in!" ”

Shen Che's expression was cold, and he didn't even give her a superfluous look, so he walked straight in.

He Yuefang's hands froze in mid-air, and a trace of embarrassment couldn't help but appear on her face.

Xiao Qi coughed lightly and explained in a low voice: "My husband has never liked to talk, please don't mind, madam." ”

"Where, don't mind, don't mind." He Yuefang laughed, her eyes flashed, and then she spoke again; "You don't sound like a local, where are you from?"

"Kyo City."

"Kyochi?" He Yuefang's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and it took a long time before she muttered: "I really didn't expect that Zhiyi would have friends in Beijing......

……

Shen Che still couldn't see her last time after all.

Waiting for him was only a pitch-black urn and a black-and-white posthumous photo.

She looks very young in the photo, looking in her early twenties, probably taken when she was in college.

In the photo, she stared at the camera quietly, her face was delicate and calm, but there seemed to be sadness in her eyes......

Shen Che stared at her photo for a long time, unable to tell what it felt like.

It seems to be a lot heavier.

Somewhere in my heart seems to have become hollow......

He took the incense handed over by Father Xu and simply worshipped her.

Go all the way.

After one last glance at her photo, Shen Che turned around and left the Xu family.

He Yuefang still followed behind him, trying to stay: "Mr. Shen, the funeral banquet will start at five o'clock, do you want to leave without eating?" ”

Shen Che stopped and glanced at her thoughtfully.

The woman's thoughts and calculations were written on her face.

Over the years, he has read countless people, how can he not understand her thoughts?

"Xiao Qi." He spoke in a deep voice.

Xiao Qi has been following him for several years, and as long as he gives him a glance on weekdays, Xiao Qi can immediately understand what he means.

But this time, he hesitated for a second, and then looked at He Yuefang with a smile: "Mrs. Xu, we appreciate your kindness, but my husband still has important matters, so we won't bother, see you next time." ”

Without waiting for Shen Che to speak, Xiao Qi grabbed his arm, quickly turned around and slipped away.

He Yuefang scolded secretly, but she didn't follow again.

After getting into the car, Shen Che half-propped his head and stared thoughtfully at Xiao Qi in the driver's seat: "You know what I just meant, right?" ”

"Yes." Xiao Qi turned around, a little weak-hearted, and didn't dare to meet his gaze: "I know Mr. Shen, you just wanted me to give her money...... But that family doesn't deserve your money! ”

Shen Che raised his eyebrows, did not speak, and waited for his next words.

"I just chatted with a helper of the Xu family for a while, and the family really ...... It's shameless! If Miss Xu was still alive, she would not want her death to bring them benefits! ”

Shen Che's eyes flashed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Tell me specifically." ”

"Mr. Shen, you don't know how much this family treats Miss Xu! They didn't treat her as a daughter at all, and the whole town knew about it......"

Xiao Qi said a lot in one breath.

said what kind of life Xu Zhiyi lived in the Xu family from childhood to adulthood.

said how smart she was, how hard she worked, and she should have a great future, but she was ruined by her mother's selfishness!

also said how she was squeezed by the Xu family, and most of the money for the Xu family to buy a house in the county was paid by her!

Not only that, but her mother also asked her to buy her brother a house in the city.

……

Although he had never known her, when he heard these words, Xiao Qi still felt a sense of heaviness and suffocation.

How can anyone in the world be so miserable?

Seeing that Shen Che kept his head down and didn't speak for a long time, Xiao Qi was shocked in his heart, and shouted tentatively: "Mr. Shen? ”

Shen Che slowly raised his head, his expression was a little dazed.

At this moment, Xiao Qi deeply felt the sadness in the man's eyes that was almost broken.

Mr. Shen, who has always been calm and introverted, would show such an expression......

Shen Che felt a pain in his heart, and he almost couldn't breathe.

He didn't know that so many things had happened to her over the years......

He guessed that it might not be easy for her, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

If he had come back even once, would it have changed her fate?

But he was too proud.

And she's too stubborn.

Even if she did it all over again, she would probably refuse him......

After a long time, Shen Che sighed heavily, "Let's drive." ”
