"Your mother..." Xiang Chong said awkwardly after a brief silence, "probably committed suicide."
Huo Cheng looked at him, as if questioning silently. Xiang Chong twitched the corner of his mouth bleakly, and said to him, "But Huo Tingxiao and I are both murderers of her suicide."
It was Huo Tingxiao who wanted to marry her by any means, which led to Fang Ke's final collapse in this marriage, and he was not innocent.
"I was the last person to see your mother." Xiang Chong lowered his eyes slightly, and seemed to think of the scene at that time, "Back then, I went to Starlight Farm with your mother, but I didn't expect your father to chase after him. She was a little old. After she was taken away by your father, I never saw her again. Later, I heard that she was sick, and it took half a year to raise her in the villa to get better. But after she recovered, the first thing she did was to find me separate."
After Xiang Chong knew that she had a family, he knew that their relationship would definitely end without a hitch. But he was not reconciled. Fang Ke was the first woman he fell in love with in his life.
"When she said she wanted to break up with me, I was very emotional and said a lot of unpleasant things." When Xiang Chong said this, he seemed to be caught in a long-term memory, and his eyes were dull, "Your mother is a Very attractive woman, sometimes I can even understand why Huo Tingxiao just doesn't want to let go. I was like that at the time, I didn't want to break up with her, I even wanted to die with her like this. "
He grabbed the steering wheel with her, and the car swayed dangerously from side to side. Fang Ke stepped on the brakes in time to stop the car on the side of the road.
"After the car stopped, I slammed the door and left. I don't know how long I walked along the road, maybe I was blown by the cold wind for a while, and I calmed down a lot. I know what I said must have stabbed her, I I want to go back and find her."
Unexpectedly, when he returned, he saw the crowd around Sanqin Bay and the police salvaging the sea.
"I'm guilty." He knew, he always knew. When the police came to him, he told them everything, but they didn't catch him.
The incident was ultimately ruled an accident.
For so many years, Xiang Chong has been tormented by this incident and has been punishing himself. But the more he did, the more he couldn't forget Fang Ke.
How he wished things were as the police said, that she had plunged into the sea in a trance rather than committing suicide. But even if she was in a trance because of her physical discomfort, it must have something to do with what he said at the time.
He was always a sinner.
"I told you everything I know." Xiang Chong raised his eyes to look at them, his eyes calm, "You can do whatever you want, whether you want to beat me or scold me, I have no objection."
After he finished speaking, the room was quiet for a long time. When Shen Wanying was worried that Huo Cheng would really lift the table and punch him, Huo Cheng stood up.
Shen Wanying looked up at him nervously, Huo Cheng didn't rush up to beat someone like she thought, he held back his anger and glanced at Xiang Chong, then turned and left the room.
Shen Wanying quickly chased after her. She wanted to say something to comfort Huo Cheng, but seeing his expression, she couldn't say anything.
She was worried that Huo Cheng was leaving alone now, and followed him into the car. The driver waited for them to inform them of their next destination. Shen Wanying gently held Huo Cheng's hand and called him, "Huo Cheng."
Huo Cheng looked at her sideways, reached out and took her into his arms: "I want to go to the villa."
"Okay, let's go to the villa."
The car started slowly on the road, Xiang Chong walked out of the world, and watched their car leave.
He stood there for a long time before turning around and heading towards his house.
When he got to the door, he saw Xu Huiling sitting at his door waiting for him. Xiang Chong frowned, took out the key and opened the door: "Don't bother me."
Xu Huiling was stunned and asked him, "Are you in a bad mood today?"
She looked down at the shopping bag he was carrying, which was full of beer.
"I'll drink with you."
"What kind of wine do minors drink?" Xiang Chong opened the door, and Xu Huiling squeezed in quickly.
Xiang Chong ignored him, walked to the window, opened a can of beer, and poured it into his mouth. Xu Huiling walked up to him and asked him, "What happened to you? Did you go to the cemetery again?"
Every time he came back from the cemetery, he was in a bad mood. But like today, it was the first time she saw it.
Xiang Chong drank most of the can of the beer machine in one breath, and then said vaguely, "I met the son of an old friend."
Xu Huiling was stunned, could it be Huo Cheng
Has Huo Cheng found Xiang Chong
She suddenly began to feel extremely uneasy in her heart. She couldn't let Xiang Chong have an accident. Xiang Chong was her god to her. If something happened to him, her world would collapse.
Huo Cheng didn't know the relationship between Xu Huiling and Xiang Chong. He was sitting in Fang Ke's room with Shen Wanying, looking out the window silently.
Shen Wanying didn't speak either, she thought that Huo Cheng would prefer to be alone at this time.
There were two knocks on the door, and the housekeeper brought them some food: "Master Huo Cheng, Miss Shen, I'm sorry to disturb you."
Shen Wanying nodded to him and thanked him. The housekeeper bowed slightly and was about to leave when Huo Cheng suddenly turned around and stopped him, "Butler Zhou."
The housekeeper stopped and asked him politely, "Master Huo Cheng, what are your orders?"
Huo Cheng looked at him for a while and asked him, "I remember, you have been working in this villa, right?"
"Yes, young master, it has been more than ten years."
"Then you know, my mother smokes?"
Tube
The family was stunned.
Huo Cheng took out his lighter and asked him, "Have you seen this? I found it in my mother's belongings."
The housekeeper looked at the lighter in his hand, and was silent for a while before answering him: "Madam, she does smoke."
Huo Cheng pursed his lips slightly, and a self-deprecating smile flashed in his eyes: "Really? She never smoked in front of me."
She didn't even smell of smoke at all. Whenever he approached her, she was fragrant.
of.
He never seemed to really get to know his mother, and he rightly enjoyed everything she gave him.
He put the lighter aside and asked the housekeeper, "Did my mother smoke all the time, or did she only start smoking while she was recovering here?"
The housekeeper said: "My wife smoked before marriage, but after marriage, she smoked less. If she had to smoke, she would hide and smoke by herself."
Huo Cheng's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly thought of Shen Wanying who was eating instant noodles while hiding in the utility room that day.
"And..." The butler looked at Huo Cheng and seemed to hesitate.
Huo Cheng asked, "What else?"
The butler pondered for a moment and asked him, "Why did you ask about this?"
Huo Chengdao: "I saw Xiang Chong today."
The housekeeper was even more surprised than before. He paused for a while before asking Huo Cheng, "You already know?"
"Well, he told me everything."
The butler stood there and did not speak. Huo Cheng looked at him, his eyes moved slightly: "Do you have something to say?"
The housekeeper lowered his head and seemed to be thinking. After a few seconds, he said, "Master Huo Cheng, in fact, Madam has never been ill."
Huo Cheng and Shen Wanying were both stunned.
Huo Cheng stood up directly from the window, walked up to him and asked, "What do you mean?"
The housekeeper said: "The six months Madam stayed in the villa, it wasn't because she was sick, but... the husband put her under house arrest here."
The housekeeper has been concealing this matter for many years. Ever since he saw Huo Cheng send the oil painting, he knew that some things could not be concealed after all.
After he finished speaking, the room fell into silence, Shen Wanying supported Huo Cheng worriedly, turned her head and said to the housekeeper, "Is what you said true?"
The housekeeper sighed: "When the husband brought his wife back from Xingguang Farm, he put her under house arrest. Because it was difficult to explain to Master Huo Cheng, he said that his wife was sick and only brought Master Huo Cheng to see him every week. Madam once. Madam has been hiding this matter so as not to affect Young Master Huo Cheng."
He once thought that this matter would become a secret forever with the death of his wife.
"Butler Zhou, go do your work first." Shen Wanying held Huo Cheng's hand and said to the butler. The butler bowed to them and exited the room.
After he left, Shen Wanying helped Huo Cheng to sit down on the sofa. She was very worried about him. If she had known the truth earlier, she should not have helped him investigate the truth in the first place.
"
I'm fine. "Huo Cheng looked at her and said something as if he knew her worries.
Shen Wanying's worries were not relieved much because of his words: "Your face is not very good."
Huo Chengdao: "I'm just a little tired, can I sleep on your leg for a while?"
"it is good."
Huo Cheng lay down on the sofa, resting his head on Shen Wanying's lap, and slowly closed his eyes.
Shen Wanying stroked his soft hair gently, watching his breathing gradually become steady.
"Awan." Huo Cheng called her softly.
"Yeah." Shen Wanying lowered her head and replied, "I'm here."
"Mom is not sick."
"Um."
"So she didn't rush into the sea in a trance because she wasn't feeling well."
She is suicide.
Shen Wanying's hand stroking his hair was stagnant, and she felt her heart aching: "Go to sleep, I don't want so much anymore."
"Okay." Huo Cheng responded and really fell asleep slowly.
He slept until noon and woke up leisurely. The sun was shining outside the window, Shen Wanying leaned on the sofa and fell asleep.
Huo Cheng rested on her lap and looked at her tenderly. He raised his hand and gently stroked her side face, causing Shen Wanying to wake up suddenly.
"Wake you up?" Huo Cheng asked in a low voice.
Shen Wanying shook her head and said to him, "No, are you feeling better?"
"Well, much better."
"That's good." Shen Wanying said here, her face suddenly became strange, "Get up, don't look at me like this."
"why?"
"Because this angle is the angle of death, it's my ugliest appearance!"
Huo Cheng's lingering hand on her cheek gently stroked her hair, and smiled slightly at her, "No, my Awan is the best looking, not ugly at all."
"...It looks good, you got up too, it's already time for lunch."
It was almost one o'clock now, and Huo Cheng was worried that she was really starving, so he sat up on the sofa: "The housekeeper should have prepared the meal, let's go down to eat."
"it is good."
Just as Shen Wanying responded, Huo Cheng's cell phone rang.
Looking at the word "Dad" displayed by the caller, Huo Cheng frowned slightly.
