Liu Ling, forty-six, got married at the age of nineteen, gave birth to Xue Zi'ang at the age of twenty. When Xue Zi'ang's father passed away sixteen years ago, Liu Ling was thirty years old, and Xue Zhan had just turned eighteen.
After staring at the information on the computer, I read it repeatedly many times, and Zhao Yu's doubts increased instead of reducing.
She found several long-standing news that Xue Zi'ang's father did die of illness, and it took a whole year from the diagnosis of liver cancer to the death, and it was all under the eyes of Mr. Xue. Such things should not be fake.
But what Liu Ling said obviously means that her husband's death is related to her, and even to Xue Zhan. What is the hidden truth in this?
Could it be that Xue Zi'ang's father was murdered? Because Liu Ling and his brother-in-law had an affair?
After reading what Liu Ling said word by day, he carefully recalled her tone at that time, Zhao Yu shook his head and temporarily ruled out this possibility based on his intuition.
She naturally wanted to dig deep into this secret to see if it was useful, but this kind of secret that even Xue Zi'ang and Mr. Xue obviously did not know was very difficult to find out. Moreover, now she is suspected by Xue Zhan, so she cannot act rashly.
So, when did Xue Zhan start to doubt her? How much did he master the matter about her?
If what he told Liu Ling during the day was the truth, then it might not be two words, could it be said that there was actually no evidence in his hands?
Perhaps, he just judged based on his intuition that Zhao Yu is not as simple as it seems? After all, Xue Zhan, who she knew, has always been a person with a deep mind and cautious attitude.
After rubbing his temples, Zhao Yu let out a long sigh and slowly concluded in his heart
If Xue Zhan did not show any disguise in front of Liu Ling this afternoon, at least two things can be seen from his words and attitudes:
First, he didn't want to mention his elder brother's death. Maybe this incident caused some kind of trauma or shadow in his heart.
Second, he was very concerned about Xue Zi'ang and was even willing to hand over the control of the company to Xue Zi'ang.
Based on these two points, is it possible that Xue Zhan, like Ji Sui, has always been guilty and self-blame towards the deceased?
If this is the case, Zhao Yu may open a breakthrough. After all, this is what she has experienced. There is no need to act specifically, and there will be no acting flaws.
While thinking, the doorbell suddenly rang
Zhao Yu was shocked, quickly closed the notebook, confirmed that there were no suspicious marks on the table before getting up and walking towards the door.
When she saw Ji Sui's figure through Maoyan, she was stunned again. He wouldn't have come to find her so suddenly. At least before coming, she would say something to her.
As soon as the door was opened, a large smell of wine came to my face. Although Ji Sui stood up straight, his eyes were distracted and his eyes were dull. He drank a lot at first glance.
Zhao Yu looked surprised: What's wrong with you? Why do you drink so much?
Ji Sui grinned: Can you come to find you?
Zhao Yu also laughed: Are you here already?
After saying that, he quickly reached out and helped him into the house: I have been to your place so many times, of course I welcome you here at any time.
She helped him sit down on the sofa, and she took the cup to pour him warm water. When she handed it to him, he didn't answer and just stared at her blankly.
Zhao Yu put down the water cup and sat beside him, and asked softly: What happened? Is there anything I can help you?
Ji Sui smiled and shook his head: It's nothing, I suddenly... I want to come to find you
If these words come from other men, they must be teasing. But from Ji Sui's mouth, Zhao Yu knew that he was just stating the facts
She didn't ask any more questions, raised her hand and stroked his forehead. It was a bit hot, probably because of the normal reaction after drinking
Is it uncomfortable? Let me cook some sober soup for you?
Looking at her concerned look, Ji Sui was stunned for a while, shook his head, leaned against the sofa weakly, and spoke slowly: Today, I went to see a comrade in the army.
Zhao Yu thought he was talking about Qu Sixiao's father, and thought that he was remembering the past again and needed to talk to others, so he listened carefully. But he said next: He is now in prison.
Zhao Yu was a little surprised, but still didn't say anything, just listened to him quietly
Ji Sui continued: Because his identity was exposed for an undercover mission, his whole family... was killed by the enemy. In the end, when we captured the enemy alive, he violated the regulations and executed the person he killed by himself. He should have died. No one thinks he did something wrong, but no one thinks he was wrong in prison because he is not qualified to decide the life and death of anyone.
Hearing this, Zhao Yu vaguely understood why he got drunk today
Ji Sui smiled self-deprecatingly: But it turns out that some people can really decide the life and death of others at will. The law is just a decoration for them, and life is worthless in their eyes.
Zhao Yu also smiled, but still said nothing
Ji Sui's eyes fell on her face again: You said before, I am from their world. In fact, I have never been incompatible with them. I always thought it was just a difference in lifestyle and concepts, but I didn't expect...
You say, why? Why did the little girl who saw me being bullied when she was a child who was still hurt by being unjust and hurt for me became like this now that she doesn't take human life seriously? How could she... so cold-blooded and so strange?
Zhao Yu was silent for a long time and said quietly: Maybe, this is the nature, or maybe, money will really distort people's nature.
Yeah?
Ji Sui sneered and looked at the ceiling blankly. Then I should have been twisted a long time ago. They and I are an inseparable family. I am just a cold-eyed spectator. No, I am dirty than them. They are at least twisted and open-minded. And I am still here pretending and aloof, and I am disgusting than them.
Ji Sui...
He stretched out his hand, stroked her face gently, interrupted her unspoken words, and murmured: Do you dislike me? Do you think I am dirty?
Zhao Yu pursed his lips and looked at him, slowly raised his hand and returned to the back of his cold hands, shook his head
Ji Sui smiled, his fingertips slowly fell along her cheeks onto her shoulders, and he pulled her into his arms with force.
