The boss of the apocalypse dressed up as a wealthy kid to fuck
Chapter 261 The fire was not an accident
When Lin Xiao asked this question, Sheng Xihuai knew that he couldn't hide it.
He knew his mother, and he knew she knew him.
Therefore, Sheng Xihuai had no intention of hiding it.
He looked into Lin Xiao's eyes and said one word immediately.
"Yes."
Lin Xiao frowned slightly, "Why?"
She was questioning Sheng Xihuai, why didn't she tell them?
Lin Xiao's eyes darkened a bit.
"Your family can't believe it either?"
Sheng Xihuai wanted to explain something, but under Lin Xiao's eyes, he chose to tell the truth.
"Correct."
Lin Xiao didn't expect that her son would be suspicious of the family. Her heart throbbed for a moment, and she closed her red eyes. She seemed to be able to understand Sheng Xihuai's worries.
Sheng Xihuai knew that these words must have hurt Lin Xiao, so he tried to comfort Lin Xiao in a low and hoarse voice.
"Because there were only so many people present at the time, no one could escape suspicion, including myself."
"Mom, I don't think the fire was an accident. If it was an accident, would you choose to do it when only Ruanruan was there? Except for Ruanruan, the rest of us are fine."
"Mom, I know you understand this in your heart. If we don't figure out what happened back then and rush to bring Ruanruan back, have you thought about the consequences?"
"What if what happened back then happens again? Mom, there is only one Ruanruan, and we really can't afford to gamble."
"If that's the case, I would rather not take Ruanruan back. She has a family now. Aunt Ning Jiang and Uncle Sheng are also very good to Ruanruan, and they have their own children. Looking at it from a distance, as an elder brother, I am already very good. Contented."
This is Sheng Xihuai's true words.
The entire family may not be able to bear it a second time.
Sheng Xihuai's words made Lin Xiao fall into silence. His hands kept shaking, and he squatted down weakly and curled up into a ball.
Seeing this, Sheng Xihuai hurried over and hugged Lin Xiao, speaking anxiously: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Mom?!"
Lin Xiao was trembling and her face was extremely pale. She reached out and tried to take out the white bottle from her pocket, but her fingers were shaking so much that she couldn't get it at all.
"Medicine..." Lin Xiao said with her remaining strength, "The medicine in my pocket..."
Only then did Sheng Xihuai hear clearly. He quickly reached for it and took out a bottle of medicine with no label on it from Lin Xiao's pocket.
"Mom, you..." This was the first time Sheng Xihuai knew that his mother was actually taking medicine. The situation was urgent, so he shook out two tablets and fed them to Lin Xiao's mouth.
He didn't know how much he had taken, but the two pills he carried with him should not be an overdose.
Sheng Xihuai was afraid that his mother would have difficulty swallowing, so he quickly went to pour water for Lin Xiao. After all, his mother was so afraid of taking medicine. She could not swallow a single pill of Da Yuan Zi since she was a child, and this medicine was not small.
Just as she was about to stand up, Lin Xiao grabbed her wrist. She raised her head, her throat rolled, and she swallowed the pill as if she was used to it.
She seemed to have done this action of taking medicine countless times, just like stuffing a candy into her body.
Sheng Xihuai was stunned. He didn't expect that his mother was so skilled at swallowing medicine.
How long have you been eating this for?
When Sheng Xihuai saw the bottle, his face was quite ugly, and now it was even darker.
He held the medicine bottle in his hand and looked at Lin Xiao: "Mom, when did you start... what kind of medicine is this?"
His question was met with silence from Lin Xiao.
"Mom, just because you don't tell me doesn't mean I can't find out." Sheng Xihuai was a little angry. He was not angry at Lin Xiao, but at himself.
It looked like the illness would last for a long time, but he didn't notice it until now.
Sheng Xihuai clenched his fists tightly, angry at his own incompetence.
He must have been feeling very uncomfortable after talking so much to his mother just now.
Sheng Xihuai quickly stepped forward and apologized for his stupidity just now: "I'm sorry, I know how much you value Ruanruan, but I still said that I wouldn't take her back. If so, we will definitely take Ruanruan back."
The absorption of the medicine was a bit slow, and Lin Xiao took a while to recover.
She took a deep breath first, her voice a little hoarse.
"you're right."
Lin Xiao looked haggard.
"Ruanruan's safety is the most important thing."
"What exactly did you find out?" Lin Xiao stared at Sheng Xihuai, "Tell me about it, maybe I can be of some help, and..."
"Ruanruan, I once lost my memory. Rongrong is not Ruanruan's stepmother. Rongrong is the child born to Ruanruan and Gu Shangyu."
Sheng Xihuai was startled, "Mom, how could you..."
Lin Xiao: "Don't forget, your mother is still a long time away from being an old fool. Jiang will always be old and spicy."
Sheng Xihuai spread out the medicine bottle in his hand, "Then tell me first, what disease do you have? What kind of medicine is this?"
Lin Xiao lowered his eyes, looked at the medicine bottle in his palm, tugged his lips and said helplessly:
"Medicine for depression."
Sheng Xihuai was stunned when he heard the word "depression".
"depression?"
Lin Xiao hummed, "It's not a serious illness, you don't have to worry."
"It's not a serious illness." Sheng Xihuai was a little flustered. He didn't expect that his mother would suffer from depression.
He should have known how his mother could have been safe and sound after Ruanruan disappeared for more than 20 years. He should have paid attention to this.
After all, he was the incompetent son.
Guilt surged into Sheng Xihuai's heart.
"Okay." Lin Xiao patted her son's shoulder, looked at his expression, and comforted him: "I am a doctor myself, so I know what my condition is."
Sheng Xihuai: "I'm sorry, Mom."
"As a family, what can we do to be sorry?" Lin Xiao said, "What you did is correct. Even if we are a family, there will be betrayal. No one can guarantee that he is not the murderer."
"Come, tell me what you found."
This time, Sheng Xihuai told Lin Xiao almost everything he knew.
Lin Xiao frowned after hearing this, "You mean, Gu Lishi and your uncle Lin Chen collaborated?"
Lin Xiao now remembered the way Song Sha's face was red and swollen in Laughing Spring Breeze, and she felt very unhappy with Gu Li. Now that she was told that Lin Chen and Gu Li had been in contact from time to time, Lin Xiao's expression was very wrong.
"You mean, you suspect that Lin Chen and Gu Li are dealing with Ruan Ruan?"
"Or does it mean something else?"
"Mom, if I tell you." Sheng Xihuai's expression became serious, and his tone was somewhat solemn and hoarse.
"Gu Lishi was Lin Chen's apprentice? And they were in private contact. With the relationship between our two families, why would they be in private contact? And when Gu Lishi was Lin Chen's apprentice, why didn't anyone tell anyone?"
"What secrets are there that we can't know?"
"Mom, I think Lin Chen must be hiding something from us. Moreover, when Ruan Ruan's accident happened, if I remember correctly, he didn't seem to have shown his face even once. Think about it carefully, right?"
