Chang Shigui looked at Ning Xi, who had been sleeping peacefully beside her, carefully pulled out the arm under her neck, put on a coat and walked to the balcony.
There are several missed calls and a few unread text messages on the phone. He held onto the railing of the balcony with both hands, looking at the night view outside in a trance.
When Ningxi came back, the moment he opened the door, he was really afraid that Ningxi would say something that he couldn't accept. When she said "I'm sorry", he even thought she was going to decide to leave him.
She asked him why he didn't ask, but she didn't know. He was afraid that some questions would be asked, and the ending would not be like this. No truth can compare to her being able to stay by his side.
Perhaps even Xixi herself doesn't know that she is a soft-hearted character. His questioning and urgency will only aggravate the evolution of the situation. In the end, the two of them may end up breaking up.
In the afternoon, when he drove outside the police station, Ningxi still did not leave the police station. He sat in the car for a long time, and finally turned the car and left the place before she came out.
In this world, no one knows Xixi better than him. Her heart can be soft or hard. As long as he chooses the right method, he will find her soft place and finally live in her heart.
The phone vibrated again, and he often looked back at Ning Xi, who was still sleeping. After pressing the answer button, he lowered his voice to the phone: "Mom, it's so late, you haven't slept yet?"
"I went out to drink two cups of coffee with people this afternoon, but I can't sleep now," Tao Huixue said in a slow and slow voice, with an indescribable tenderness and love, "I already know what happened to Ningxi."
Chang Shigui Wenyan was silent for a moment, and then hummed.
Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Tao Huixue said, "Since things have already happened, don't think too much about it. You have recently given yourself a good vacation and made time to spend more time with her."
"I see, Mom." Chang Shigui looked behind him, "Don't drink too much coffee in the future."
"Okay, how old am I to be taken care of by a son?" Tao Huixue smiled on the other end of the phone, and then sighed, "It's not my mother who cares about your private affairs, but I am a woman myself. , It's not easy to know. Although I haven't seen Ningxi's child, I can see that she is a very amazing girl. Now is the most difficult time for her. No matter what gossip outside, what is in your heart? Thought, you have to take good care of him right now."
"My son, Tao Huixue, can't be the kind of man who treats the people around him badly just because others gossip, do you understand?" Tao Huixue did not mention whether she was dissatisfied with this future daughter-in-law, but she clearly stated that she would be A mother's request for her son.
At first, he was the one who pursued the girl eagerly, but now they are in trouble. If he can't stand the gossip outside, he turns his head and breaks up with the girl. She can't accept this kind of practice.
"Mom, your future daughter-in-law hasn't come in yet, so you don't want to see me so soon?" Chang Shigui laughed dumbly, but he felt relieved. Fortunately, his mother didn't have any prejudice against Ningxi because of this matter. Instead, he was worried that he would abandon Ningxi because of this.
In other people's homes, it may be that the mother-in-law makes things difficult for the daughter-in-law, and perhaps in the future, his status will be at the bottom.
Hanging up the phone, Tao Huixue sighed softly. She turned her head and looked at the photo on the head of the bed. It was a group photo of their family of three. In the photo, Chang Shigui was only in his teens, smiling brightly.
But since the car accident, Shigui has never laughed like this again. That car accident took away her husband and the innocent joy of her son.
How could she not be clear about her son's thoughts on that girl, don't say that the gossip outside is just a few ladies who are very bored and hide behind their backs, even if someone really says something wrong with Ningxi in front of him, he will won't leave her.
When the news broke in the afternoon, she did have a moment of dissatisfaction in her heart. But when she looked back, she understood the helplessness and courage of this girl. How many people can achieve this step in Ningxi
From the mother's point of view, of course, she prefers that her son find a good wife and mother who is suitable for IKEA, but from a woman's point of view, she appreciates girls like Ningxi.
But all of this can't compare to what her son likes. She doesn't want to be the wicked mother-in-law who beats mandarin ducks in the dog-blood TV series. It's fine now. The son can get what he wants, and the girl she admires can be her daughter-in-law, and the rest is not so important.
Ningxi felt as if she was dreaming again. In her dream, she was walking on a street in the dark night, with light rain falling from the sky. She stood on a cross street with people coming and going, not knowing where she was going.
Countless people passed by her, but none of these people looked at her, and no one stopped.
"Di!"
She didn't know when, all the pedestrians around her had disappeared, and there were vehicles parked around her. She was surrounded by layers of traffic, in a dilemma, at a loss.
Every driver was urging her to leave, kept honking the horn, the cars around her got closer to her, and finally she was surrounded by cars in a small circle less than one meter in diameter.
Suddenly, someone grabbed her hand, and she seemed to be flying, getting further and further away from the traffic, and finally landed on a swing frame on a meadow.
The breeze was blowing, and she seemed to smell the faint fragrance of green grass.
"Sixi..."
She turned back, and the man in the shirt gently surrounded her from behind, like a warm fire, preventing the cold from attacking her, but not burning her.
"Time to return..."
Ning Xi opened her eyes, looked at the dark blue quilt covering her body, and suddenly remembered that this was not her room, but the master bedroom.
She sat up from the bed, suddenly covered her face and smiled, and then lay down heavily.
"Captain Li, are you sure it's here?" Officer Sun looked at the luxurious carved gate in front of him. Through the gap in the gate, he saw the grass and flowerbed inside. Behind the grass and the flowerbed was a European-style house.
They walked here from the gate of the community, and in just a few minutes, they encountered several property security patrol cars. Although they were wearing police uniforms, they were still questioned several times.
"Ms. Ning's registered address is here, you go up and ring the doorbell." The police captain was a sturdy man in his thirties, with a serious expression and a hint of chill.
A group of four of them, in order to investigate this case, under huge pressure of public opinion, set up a special task force overnight, and also found witnesses at the suicide scene that year to record their statements. The only thing fortunate is that most of these witnesses were very cooperative, but There is not much really useful evidence, and the testimony of most people cannot be used as testimony, but only as a reference opinion.
Less than half a minute after the doorbell was pressed, the carved door slowly opened. As soon as Captain Li and his party walked in, they saw a man in a white suit and gray vest without a bow tie coming out of the door of the bungalow.
The female police officers accompanying them immediately recognized that the man walking towards them was Ningxi's boyfriend and the head of Chang's enterprise, Chang Shihui.
"Hello, Mr. Chang, I'm Li Hao, the captain of the criminal police of the Southeast Public Security Bureau, and I am in charge of the case reported by Ms. Ning." Captain Li shook hands with Chang Shigui, and took out his police officer's ID, "I'm here today, I just want to know something from Ms. Ning, and I don't know if Miss Ning is at home now."
"Trouble everyone, it's been hard work for you, please come in." Chang Shigui made a gesture of invitation and invited them into the room to discuss in detail.
Police Officer Sun cautiously stepped onto the steps in front of the gate of the bungalow. After seeing the exquisite and luxurious decoration style inside, he couldn't help taking a deep breath. A rich man's living room is bigger than his entire home.
"You don't need to change your shoes, just sit wherever you want," Chang often returned two trays of fresh fruits and put them in front of them, and then made tea for them, "Sit down for a while, and I'll call her."
After Chang Shi returned upstairs, Officer Sun said in a low voice, "This Mr. Chang is really good, he doesn't put on airs at all." These police officers, when handling cases, met all kinds of people. There are those who are reasonable and good at speaking, and there are those who use their power to bully others and ignore them. The rich people I met in the past seemed to be polite to them, but in fact they didn't take them seriously, and there was really no one who made tea for them personally like Chang Shigui.
"Otherwise, how could Ningxi like her?" The policewoman pulled out the record book and put it on her lap, "Don't you know, I heard that Mr. Chang spent a lot of time in pursuit of Ningxi."
"Mr. Chang is so rich, it's so hard to chase women," Police Officer Sun said with a bit of emotion on his face, "It's not easy for a man."
The female police officer gave him a blank expression, not bothering to argue with him.
"Okay," Officer Li interrupted the nonsense between the two, "Pay attention to your image." Sitting next to him, the thin and white police officer who didn't speak from the beginning to the end chuckled softly and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose. , "They are excited when they are about to meet their idols."
The female police officer and the police officer Sun suddenly didn't dare to speak, and the police officer Sun glanced at the white and thin police officer and whispered: "Brother Liu really can guess everything."
Officer Liu smiled, and then he restrained the smile on his face, and soon there were footsteps on the stairs.
Officer Sun looked towards the stairs and saw that Ning Xi was walking downstairs in her daily clothes with a plain face. Before Police Officer Sun could say anything, Ning Xi took the lead: "I'm sorry for making everyone wait for a long time."
"Miss Ning is very welcome, we also came to visit suddenly, it's normal for Miss Ning not to know," Captain Li stood up, introduced himself and his colleagues to Ning Xi, and then said, "Miss Ning, the evidence you provided is very useful. , but about the details of the case, I want to ask you again, do you have any comments?"
For the families of the victims, it is also cruel to let them recall the pain at that time. But if they want to investigate a case, they have to ask some questions, so they themselves are sometimes helpless.
"It's alright, just ask," Ning Xi forced a smile, sat down on the empty sofa next to her, and often sat next to her, holding his hand gently.
Officer Liu glanced at the hands they were shaking, and withdrew his gaze.
Captain Li opened a document in his hand, "Miss Ning, according to your former neighbor, you were at the scene when the incident happened?"
