Ye Cheng waited at the door for a long time, a woman in white clothes ran out in a hurry, she didn't pay attention to the road, and bumped into him.
The driver standing next to him was taken aback.
The woman lowered her head and said "I'm sorry", then hurried away.
Within a few minutes, Lu Xiao walked out with Meng Li's arm.
Meng Li leaned against him, his white forehead covered with sweat.
Ye Cheng thought she was sick again, so she hurried to help her. The driver immediately opened the door and helped Meng Li to sit in.
Meng Li's face was pale, with regret on his face, he raised his head and said to Ye Cheng, "I'm sorry, Xiao Cheng, I'm not feeling well, I can't accompany you to eat."
"Don't say that, Auntie." Ye Cheng worried, "What's wrong with you, are you going to the hospital?"
Meng Li shook his head wearily, "I'll just rest for a while."
The driver closed the car door, and Lu Xiao sat in the back row with Ye Cheng.
"Auntie, are you okay?" Ye Cheng asked him in a low voice.
Lu Xiao shook her head, fearing that Meng Li in the front row would hear it, she approached him and said, "I'll tell you later."
Meng Li first asked the driver to take Ye Cheng home, and then said to invite him to dinner next time, and then left with Lu Xiao.
After Ye Cheng returned home, the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became, so she simply called Huang Shengan.
After a few beeps over there, it was connected.
"Hey, what's the matter, Ye Zi?" Huang Shengan's voice sounded like a thief.
Ye Cheng was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that he should still be studying by himself last night.
He said: "I forgot that you were in class, and I will call you later."
Just as he was about to hang up, Huang Sheng'an stopped him and said, "I'm not in class, I'm in Qingshan. My dad is busy with a meeting and asked me to send him the materials. Damn, you really think of me as an errand."
There was a sound of closing the door on his side, as if he had walked out of the meeting room, and the sound was much louder.
"What's the matter, tell me, there is no one next to me." Huang Shengan said.
Ye Cheng said: "It's nothing serious, I just want to ask about your Aunt Meng's situation, can you ask Uncle Huang for me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Sheng'an immediately said with a tone of asking for credit: "Do you need to mention this? Ever since I found out about your... ahem, that relationship, I have been testing my father and Auntie Meng's physical condition every now and then. Don't worry, Her illness is nothing serious, it seems to be caused by too much mental stress."
Ye Cheng frowned, wondering, "Why is she under so much mental stress? Is it because of... family reasons?"
He didn't know what happened to Meng Li today, but he could vaguely guess what happened to stimulate her during that time.
Huang Shengan said hesitantly: "Yes...but there are other reasons too. Get a vaccination first, don't mind, I'm not gossiping about her behind her back, but I think she always fantasizes about something sometimes? She always Tell my dad that she feels someone is staring at her, there is someone behind her when she is eating, and there is someone standing beside her bed when she is sleeping, as if her every move is being watched."
Ye Cheng's heart tightened involuntarily.
Huang Sheng'an added: "She said that maybe her husband wanted to kill her and live with Xiaosan. But there are two contradictions in this statement. First, her husband is abroad and will not come back several times throughout the year. The second Second, the private investigator she hired told her that her husband doesn't have... er, a regular mistress."
"What do you mean there is no fixed mistress?" Ye Cheng asked.
Huang Sheng'an tried his best to be euphemistic: "It's because he's fun outside, but he doesn't have a regular relationship."
Ye Cheng understood, "It's more flowery, isn't it."
"Well, anyway, the 'little three' that Auntie imagined doesn't exist at all."
When he said this, Ye Cheng remembered that in his impression, it seemed that Lu Yaoshan had never divorced Meng Li. Of course, apart from being inseparable due to mental illness, I haven't seen him produce a second child.
There was a bloody storm in the Lu family afterwards, the uncle and the third uncle were not good people, and they were vying to find a son and a half daughter to please the old man, playing a card of intergenerational family affection.
Lu Yaoshan and Lu Xiao were born at odds, according to his temperament, there is no reason not to have another one outside just in case.
Huang Sheng'an said: "By the way, there is another strange thing. My dad mentioned it at dinner a few days ago, and another doctor asked him if Aunt Meng's family has many relatives. My dad didn't know why. Ask. The doctor said that when she was in the nursing home, someone came to the hospital twice to inquire about her condition, claiming to be a relative from her father's side."
Ye Cheng suddenly felt bad, and said to him: "Her father has no relatives, and I went to visit the grave with them today. Lu Xiao said that his grandfather only had Aunt Meng as the only daughter. Because of some quarrels in the early years, he and his uncle It's all broken."
"Don't worry," Huang Shengan said, "he didn't tell that person anything."
He patted his chest twice, "The hospital protects patients' privacy very well. I only found out about this by eavesdropping on my dad chatting with his colleagues. Except for you, I haven't told anyone else."
Ye Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you."
Huang Sheng'an said: "Thank you, thank you, your business is my business, which one of us is with the other."
Ye Cheng chatted with him for a few words, then hung up the phone.
He intuitively felt that this stranger probably had something to do with Lu Yaoshan, and he had to let Lu Xiao know about it as soon as possible.
After Lu Xiao brought Meng Li home, she drank a glass of milk to comfort her and fell asleep.
Not long after, I heard the sound of someone walking outside the door.
He opened the door and saw Mrs. Wang walking by with cleaning tools, and the garbage bags were jingling.
Lu Xiao asked, "My mother smashed things again?"
Aunt Wang said helplessly, "Madam dropped the medicine bowl and refused to take the medicine."
"Bring me the medicine." Lu Xiao said.
Mrs. Wang nodded, looked at the corridor behind her, and said, "Madam is not in a stable mood right now, she just threw a photo frame at me, do you want to go and see her?"
Lu Xiao's eyes fell on her, "Sister-in-law Wang, are you not injured?"
She said with an aggrieved face: "No injury, but madam thinks that I was sent by the master to monitor her, so she refuses to drink the medicine I made."
Lu Xiao patted her and comforted her: "It's okay, I'll talk to her, you just leave the medicine at the door. My mother always does this, and I need to trouble you to include her more."
Sister-in-law Wang wiped the corner of her eyes and said, "It is impossible for me to betray my wife if I betray anyone, Xiaoxiao, you know..."
"I know." Lu Xiao couldn't bear it, "Don't take what my mother said out of anger."
Sister-in-law Wang sighed and looked around: "Maybe it's really not auspicious here as Madam said."
She left with the garbage bag, and Lu Xiao's eyes became complicated.
He walked across the aisle and knocked on Meng Li's door.
There was no sound inside, so he reached out and pushed the door open.
There was some resistance to the door, and after walking in, it turned out to be a pillow.
Lu Xiao picked up the pillow and walked over to Meng Li who was sitting on the bed in a daze.
"Mom, can't you sleep?" He sat down on the edge of the bed and put the pillow back to its original position.
Meng Li went crazy, but now he has calmed down. She stared blankly at the void, and murmured: "Xiaoxiao, why don't we live in another city, to a place where no one knows us."
Lu Xiao frowned and looked at her.
She said: "I always feel that no one around me can be trusted. I do everything as if someone is watching me. Do you think Mrs. Wang is strange recently? When she is always doing housework, inexplicably Stare at me, or make me drink that dark stuff."
Meng Li didn't feel at all how dazed his tone was, and he grabbed Lu Xiao's cuff tightly while speaking.
"And Xia Wanqing today, she must have followed me to the cemetery!" She gritted her teeth.
Lu Xiao said: "Didn't the staff member say that she was going to commemorate her husband? Mom, she also explained that she and my dad had broken up a long time ago, and my dad has been abroad for several years. It should be impossible to see her again." Connected."
The photo in Lu Yaoshan's study was the one he saw when he was a child.
It is said that the woman was Lu Yaoshan's first love, and then broke up suddenly, and then married his mother.
Meng Li said unwillingly: "What about Mrs. Wang? She is always sneaky."
"Mom." Lu Xiao called her in a long voice, took her hand that was holding her sleeve and said, "Sister-in-law Wang has been with you for so many years, do you still doubt her? Listen to the doctor and don't think about it." Some don’t.”
Meng Li stopped talking.
Lu Xiao said: "My dad will be back in a while, so don't start a fight with him, or I'm afraid I can't help but do it again."
The last time he had a conflict with Lu Yaoshan, it was because of Meng Li's illness again.
Meng Li said shyly, "Don't fight with your father, lest your uncle and the others make fun of you."
Lu Xiao smiled indifferently, he didn't care about those two families at all.
Meng Li also said: "Don't trust anyone from your father's side, including your grandfather, they are not good people."
Lu Xiao liked his grandfather quite a lot when she was a child, and said to her, "Okay, let's go to rest early."
When he stood up, he saw the huge wedding photo on the opposite wall. The above Meng Li is beautiful and charming, with smiles on his brows and eyes, but Lu Yaoshan's expression is the exact opposite of her, it can be said that he has no expression at all.
Lu Xiao's face gradually turned cold. It turns out that one party loves it very much and the other party hates it, so it will really fall into this situation.
Meng Li on the bed had already closed his eyes, and his phone was turned upside down by the pillow.
Lu Xiao took the phone away and prepared to put it on the bedside table.
Before the screen was turned off, a row of chat records came into view.
Note "Yaoshan" WeChat, sent such a sentence.
[Don't go to her, or you will bear the consequences.]
The delivery time was an hour ago, which was probably the reason why Meng Li went crazy.
The previous chat history was completely deleted, probably because she didn't want to see that dialog box.
Lu Xiao's heart sank suddenly.
They had just been to the cemetery, and when they met Xia Wanqing, Lu Yaoshan knew it so quickly. This is the third driver this month. Is it true that, as Meng Li said, Mrs. Wang is actually Lu Yaoshan's spy by her side
But let's not mention how kind Mrs. Wang is to Meng Li, so what is his purpose for doing this
A few years ago, Meng Li had shares in several companies, but all of them fell into Lu Yaoshan's hands later. The piece of cake he is targeting now is the Lu family, not just a mentally ill woman.
Lu Xiao felt a headache. If it was a year ago, after discovering this chat record, he might have agreed to Meng Li to go to another city without hesitation. But now it is impossible for him to leave Ye Cheng and live in a new place for no reason.
After thinking about it, he took Meng Li's cell phone away.
After walking out of the room, he sent a message to Lu Yaoshan: [When are you going back to China?]
After sending it, he deleted it.
But until noon the next day, when he put the phone back in Meng Li's room, Lu Yaoshan did not reply.
On the second day, Meng Li's mood became more stable.
During class break, Ye Cheng said to Lu Xiao: "I bought a pastoral style painting last week. The painter said that hanging it in the bedroom can help the master calm down. After school today, let's take it together and take it to your house, okay. Let Auntie hang it in the bedroom."
When he said that, Lu Xiao thought of that unsightly wedding photo.
So he said, "It's time for her to change her mood."
There was no evening self-study today. The two of them went to pick up the painting after school. It was a full 1.6 meters long, and it was big and heavy with the photo frame.
They found workers and moved to the house, and it happened that Meng Li was eating bird's nest at the dining table.
Seeing several people walking in carrying a large object, she asked in surprise, "What is this?"
Lu Xiao said: "The painting Ye Cheng gave you, do you want to put it in the bedroom to purify the air?"
He showed the small picture to Meng Li, and she put down the spoon to look at it for a while.
Ye Cheng just wanted to say, if you don't like it, forget it.
Unexpectedly, she said with a bit of revenge: "Change, put it on immediately. The wedding photo was moved to your father's room, and he just came back these few days."
The workers moved things and ate their mouthfuls. It seems that the hostess and the hostess of this house sleep separately, and the hostess has not been home for a long time. It is estimated that the conflict between husband and wife is deep.
Several people carried the painting upstairs.
Meng Li said: "Xiao Cheng, stay for dinner tonight, and Auntie will make you a compensation with delicious food."
"Okay, I'll go up and do a favor and then I'll come down." Ye Cheng smiled at her.
Everyone came to Meng Li's bedroom, and Lu Xiao ordered the workers to remove the wedding photos.
After some loosening, the magnificent wedding photo was finally taken down.
The moment it was removed, a thread fell from the top, and a small thing attached to the end of the thread slammed on the floor.
Everyone looked down, and the thing was shining brightly.
