Fall in love with your enemy

The last time, I was shocked. I never thought that this time the situation would be so big and someone would die, and I never thought that this person would be Yu Ting.

My memory of what happened next is vague. It took me a long time in Gao Xinci's arms to calm down a little.

It was probably after eight o'clock when I found Yu Ting. At that time, I was in a trance. I only remember that in the messy ancestral hall, with everyone screaming, I leaned on Lu Chengcheng and couldn't say anything. Lu Chengcheng A little better than me, he could at least stand still. Soon, my uncle noticed me and covered my eyes while calling the police. Later, the police came, and the whole mountain was filled with harsh noises. When the siren sounded, my uncle said something to the leading policeman, and I was not taken away. Instead, I stayed at home to rest. The others followed the police to take notes and have not returned yet.

I sat on the steps at the entrance of Hongtang, with Gao Xinci holding me in his arms. I watched a lot of police officers coming in and out of the ancestral hall in the chaos. It took me a long time just to take pictures. It was almost noon when they finally arrived. They took Yu Ting away. In the meantime, Gao Xinci said a lot to me, but unfortunately I didn't listen to a word. I just nodded. I didn't think about what he said specifically.

Gao Xinci took me back to the hut next to Hongtang. In two hours, more than a dozen old Chinese doctors took turns taking my pulse. I almost thought I was suffering from a terminal illness, but in the end it was nothing more. I was given a bowl of medicine, and by two or three o'clock in the afternoon, I almost recovered.

The old man told me that fighting at home can really kill people, so I had an idea and tried not to get involved. I believed what the old man said, but I always felt that those things happened a long time ago. , even before I was born, now in the 21st century, there will never be anything anymore, but now it seems that I was wrong.

Yu Ting actually died, which I didn't expect.

It is true that she was not a good person, but I always thought that she could not die for her crime... It was not right, she deserved to die, but she shouldn't have died like this.

The key is, why did she die? Who killed her? Or why did she commit suicide? Who is the person behind this? If there was nothing, Yu Ting's death would be completely unreasonable. She should have followed the route of her previous life and would have married Fu Yunqin this month.

My uncle and the others came back towards the evening. My uncle's face was not very good, but he was better than me and better than Lu Chengcheng. As soon as my uncle came back, he didn't dare to rest for a while and immediately called the most trustworthy people in the family. The housekeeper sealed the house tightly to ensure that no news could be revealed, and Lu Chengcheng was helped back to the small room where I was by Han Lu. The four of us sat together, relatively speechless.

I never thought there would be a day when we would sit together and have nothing to say.

After staying up for a long time, it was getting dark outside, and the noise in the yard gradually became quieter. It was quiet. It had never been so quiet. Liang Sen came and told me that most of the people in the old house had been cleared out by my uncle. , they don’t know about Yu Ting’s death yet, only the remaining people who stayed in the old house know, there are about a hundred or ten people, the specific number will be reported to me by Uncle Li later, but I am not allowed to do it anymore. It's not okay to tell others, not even Lao Fu or his second uncle. He said it was his uncle's wish to try not to let the scandal spread.

I nodded to show that I understood.

I really can't tell Lao Fu and my second uncle, and I can't let them put down their work and come back suddenly at this juncture.

The old man is talking about cooperation recently. This cooperation is very important. If this kind of thing comes to him, he will inevitably get angry. There is a high possibility that the contract cannot be negotiated. If Yu Ting's story is accidentally leaked, If you go out, the consequences will be disastrous; the second uncle cannot come. Outsiders know that the three heads of the Fu family will not return to the old house unless there is no big deal. It has not been the case recently. If the uncle and the second uncle are seen If they suddenly returned to their old house, it would be easy for others to become suspicious. You know, Shang Mingyu was still waiting outside.

I took a deep breath. This slight sound made Gao Xinci and the others all raise their heads to look at me. I made up my mind and thought about it carefully. If something like this happened at home, Lu Chengcheng and I would definitely not be able to run away. But Gao Xinci and Han Lu were innocent, and they shouldn't have gotten involved. Gao Xinci was fine. The Gao family was also a den of tigers and wolves, so he didn't feel so uncomfortable. But Han Lu was different. Her family was compared to It was a paradise for us. Han Lu had never experienced anything like this since she was a child.

"Xin Ci, Han Lu, why don't you go home first? I'll ask someone to see you off. When it's all over, we can go somewhere else for vacation..."

"How can that be possible! We can't leave you behind!"

Before I finished speaking, Gao Xinci had already pushed back, but I had already guessed that there would be such a response.

Han Lu didn't say anything, but she still burst into tears and grabbed my arm tightly and wouldn't let go.

Lu Chengcheng tugged on my sleeve: "My uncle told me that if you are afraid, let me take you away."

"But we are witnesses, can we leave?" I asked softly, but I didn't intend to use this opportunity to leave.

"He said there's no need to worry about this. He has his own arrangements and no one will say anything about us." Lu Chengcheng took out a pocket watch from his pocket.

I recognized that it belonged to my uncle. It was given to him by the police officer who led the charge today. They were classmates and had a good relationship.

But if we use our connections to go backstage, it won’t be good for us if others find out.

I smiled bitterly and stuffed the watch back into Lu Chengcheng's pocket.

"Wait a while, please return it to my uncle. I can't leave, I have to hold on for the old man." I stood up holding the bed and wiped my tears: "Yu Ting's death has nothing to do with Fu Yunqin, but the biggest The relationship is definitely not his. There is a high probability that this relationship will involve us. Liang Sen came over and told me just now that someone is already preparing to enter Hongtang. They must be interrogated. In this case, there is a child in the third room. My uncle and the third grandma are here, and there is the second grandma in the second room. Our eldest room cannot be empty, I have to guard it, and I want to see what they are going to do!"

"Then I'll go with you." Lu Chengcheng didn't care whether Gao Xinci was there or not. He was very bold now and directly expressed his attitude of relying on me.

However, Gao Xinci did not sanction him this time, but instead stood in the same camp as him.

"I'll go too." Gao Xinci took my hand.

Three of the four people had gone, so Han Lu naturally couldn't run away and immediately stood behind me.

I am indeed happy to have this group of good friends who are loyal, but I will never take them into danger. This is not a small matter.

"Only the Fu family can enter Hongtang, no outsiders can enter." I pretended to regret and said, "Xin Ci, you are bringing cold dew with you..."

"I am your fiancé! You can enter the Zhaohe Hall of the Gao family and help me get rid of Shang Enci. Why can't I help you share the burden?" Gao Xinci jumped up anxiously.

It's a pity that although what he said makes sense, I still can't.

"Xin Ci, I am different from you."

This time, my voice was filled with loneliness.

"You have the right to speak in the Gao family. If you say that I am your fiancée, who dares to refute? But what about me in the Fu family? You know that they are absolutely certain until they receive the exact news that we are holding an engagement banquet. They won't admit you, they are all afraid that there will be someone who can compete in the eldest room."

Fortunately, this time, Gao Xinci had nothing to say.

I knew he would understand my pain.

"In this case, you guys go back to the small courtyard first. Chengcheng and I will go take a look at Hongtang. If there is any trouble, I will notify you immediately, okay?" I squeezed Gao Xinci's palm. He had his hands full like me. of sweat.

Gao Xinci turned around and glanced at Han Lu. He couldn't bear to see Han Lu crying, so he had no choice but to nod.

I watched Gao Xinci and Han Lu leave the hut. I couldn't see them anymore, so I pulled Lu Chengcheng to sit down and poured him a glass of water.

"Are you afraid?" I asked.

Lu Chengcheng nodded, and after taking a sip of water, he seemed to feel something was wrong, and put a finger on my forehead: "Don't try to drive me away too!"

I smiled bitterly and gave him a light slap in amusement.

The commotion lasted for less than two minutes before Uncle Li and Liang Sen came over.

Uncle Li handed me a list. I looked at it and saw that it was a list of people who knew about Yu Ting's death. I counted eighty-seven people.

"Miss, the situation is not good. There are too many people who know about it, so it's hard for us to end it." Uncle Li looked at the list and said.

I nodded, then raised my head after a moment and asked Uncle Li: "Where are these people now?"

"Some people who have been around my wife and wives all year round, got used to these tricks, so I didn't control them and let them stay around. The remaining ones who did odd jobs, the third master gathered them in a courtyard and took them Money has blocked their mouths. They are all extremely poor. After taking the money, none of them said anything, but there has been no serious way to deal with it. Just throwing money away is not a long-term solution. What do you think we should do? ?”

I was stunned, but just as I was thinking about these solutions, another question suddenly popped up in my mind.

Why does Uncle Li ask me?

You must know that I basically have no say in this family. Even if I am the eldest lady in charge of the family, if I don’t have anyone’s handle, no one will listen to me, because I am a girl, and most people in this family In his eyes, girls are useless. Even if Uncle Li doesn't care about these things and purely respects me, my brother-in-law is still here and the real family leader is still here. Why does Uncle Li come to ask for my opinion? Is it useful to ask me?

I don’t know if this question is inappropriate, but once this idea came into being, it couldn’t get out of my mind.

I looked up at Uncle Li, thought for a while and asked the most reasonable question: "What would my brother-in-law say?"

Uncle Li paused: "The list just came out, and I haven't had time to ask Third Master yet."

I always feel like something is wrong, but I can't put my finger on it.

I rubbed my eyes and returned the list to Uncle Li: "You go and show it to my uncle first, I will listen to him."

"it is good……"

After I said those words, Uncle Li seemed to be relieved. The breath was very weak, but the night was so quiet, I still heard it, but when I looked back at him, Uncle Li seemed to have nothing unusual.

I trusted my sixth sense, but at the time, I didn’t say anything.

After Uncle Li left, I asked Liang Sen to tell him the news.

Liang Sen came forward and handed me the phone, which had all the identity information of Yu Ting and Xiao Liu marked on it. Yu Ting's was no different from what I knew before, but there was something wrong with one of Xiao Liu's photos.

That was a photo with my third grandma.

"Miss, this photo was taken at...the university where Third Master once studied." Liang Sen paused and said.

My heart trembled, I really didn't dare to think that if this was really the case, then Liu Zonglan would be pretending really well.

I calmed down a little and put the photo down.

"Also, Mr. Wang sent a message to Miss Cousin, and she will probably be back soon."

I turned around and explained to Lu Chengcheng: Mr. Wang is his cousin's uncle and Fu Yunqin's father, and his cousin is Fu Yunqin's sister, Fu Yunxin.

"It seems that they mistook Yu Ting's death as Fu Yunqin's fault." Lu Chengcheng said softly.

"You also think it's a 'misunderstanding'." I whispered, and then took out my phone to check my cousin's schedule.

The second uncle can't come over, but my cousin can, and he has a reason. He has long said that he will come to me when he is done with what he is doing. Shang Mingyu also knows that I live with my cousin. Month, so he can't make a fuss about his cousin coming to the old house.

My cousin and Fu Yunxin were at about the same speed, and they had already arrived at Jinhai.

"Miss, the cause of Yu Ting's death has been revealed. It can be determined that she committed suicide. Let's not care about why she committed suicide. If we want to save the Fu family, the best way is to push Fu Yunqin out. He has tarnished Yu Ting's innocence. It is enough reason for Yu Ting to commit suicide, but at this time, Mr. Wang did not stop him from calling Fu Yunxin back. What should we do now?" Liang Sen looked more anxious than me.

Incredibly, I was calm.

"So what if Fu Yunxin comes back." I muttered.

"If she comes back...she will definitely keep Fu Yunqin. Don't let the news leak out while you are fighting with her. That would be bad." Liang Sen looked at me and almost wanted to come up and touch me. I checked my forehead to see if I had a fever. It made me crazy.

His worries are not unreasonable. Fu Yunxin is the only woman in the family who has not changed her destiny through marriage. Although her cousin and uncle are stupid, fortunately they are responsible for their mistakes and gave birth to a daughter with such a good mind as Fu Yunxin. Fu Yunxin had good grades since she was a child, and her grandfather liked her, so when he gave the property to his cousin's family, he gave most of it to Fu Yunxin instead of Fu Yunqin, who was born as a boy. Later, Fu Yunxin's business grew bigger and bigger. , up to now, there are only three bosses. It is with the confidence given by Fu Yunxin that my cousin and uncle dare to show off their power in the old house and establish the so-called fourth house.

However, no one has ever asked Fu Yunxin herself whether she is willing to let her parents and her good-for-nothing brother cause trouble at home in her name.

I drank all the water on the table.

"There's no need to stop her. Let her come back. It's not certain whether she is willing to keep Fu Yunqin." I said softly.

I heard footsteps in the yard outside, and there was the light of a lantern in front of the window.

It seems that Hongtang is about to open, and it's time for Lu Chengcheng and I to go to the "battlefield".
