Dangerous Contract

"The truth of the matter is not what you think at all, Su Lang's uncle, he lied before!"

Xiao Ya originally thought that Tan Zhen would go to the show and meet Su Lang, as long as the two of them could clear up their suspicions, there would be no need to explain anything. Unexpectedly, these two people just created an opportunity but they still couldn't meet.

"What do you mean by this?" Tan Zhen asked Xiaoya.

"It's him, he, that Chen Yu. He was the real culprit who caused the house fire 20 years ago!" Xiaoya spoke a little fast, her head followed little by little, "He told Su Lang' "The truth" is simply a countermeasure discussed with Su Junliang many years ago in order to avoid responsibility, it is not true!"

Tan Zhen opened his jaw in surprise, looked at Xiaoya with puzzled eyes, and patiently waited for him to tell the story he knew.

At the same time, on the other side of the city, Su Lang, who was standing on the busy street waiting for the green light, was grabbed by the arm by a big hand and led him to the corner.

In winter, such a person with a mask and a hat covering his facial features on the street would not look awkward at all. Su Lang thought that the other party had recognized the wrong person, and was about to speak, but heard the other party say in a familiar voice: "I I have something to tell you."

Su Lang was shocked. It had been a long time since he saw Chen Yu who was completely free from alcohol: "Uncle? You... didn't you run away?"

Chen Yulu's eyes outside the mask blinked slightly, signaling Su Lang not to talk, and raised his hand to call a taxi.

In the taxi, he asked Su Lang to report where he lived now, and Su Lang asked the driver to take the two of them downstairs without thinking too much.

Standing downstairs in an ordinary residential building, Chen Yu looked at the crooked sorting bins and shook his head: "Your mother has never lived in such a place in her life, can she get used to it?"

Su Lang smiled wryly: "It's not the past now. My current financial ability can only guarantee her such a life, but I will try my best to bring her back to the previous environment..."

In the middle of the conversation, Su Lang laughed: "Actually, I think my mother is in a much better mental state than before. She can laugh and talk about the past. Yesterday she insisted on teaching me to knit a sweater."

"Your mother?" Chen Yu's tone revealed disbelief in the reconciliation of a woman who had a mental breakdown.

"Ah."

Su Lang took Chen Yu home, sent the nanny to buy vegetables, and woke up Chen Wei who was taking a nap.

He always felt that after his father surrendered, it would be a matter of time before Chen Yu came to find them, so he was not surprised by Chen Yu's sudden appearance.Because in this family, Chen Yu is even more useless than him. Without the financial support of the family, a person like him cannot survive.

Chen Yu hadn't seen Chen Wei for a long time, and he didn't expect that the corners of their eyes were covered with fine lines when they met again. He smiled and shook his head: "Sister, how are you doing?"

Chen Wei squinted her eyes and grabbed Chen Yu's arm: "It's you...Xiao Yu?"

Chen Yu's memory of Chen Wei still stays at the time when she was most insane more than ten years ago. Later, she was forcibly locked up, and he stopped visiting her. They were not siblings who grew up together. He doesn't have much affection for her.

But so many things have happened recently that he can't help but think back to the years when he was taken back from the orphanage by the Chen family.

At that time, he was a withdrawn child covered in bruises, living in the fantasy that the Chen family would throw him out at any time all day long, and cried several times at night.

It was his thoughtful elder sister who discovered his fragility, hugged the pillow by his side at night, and coaxed him to sleep like a little adult.

He went to school late, and he was a child who didn't know how to use his brain. The Chen family hoped that he knew he couldn't afford it, but in the first few years he would still force himself to chew on pens in the study.

It was he who heard Chen Wei say to her father: "Xiao Yu doesn't like to study, so don't force him, let him do what he likes happily."

When he was a child, he hated Chen Wei, thinking that she was afraid that he would take away the family property, so she used this method to destroy herself and hide her ambitions. Therefore, although he had a good impression of this sister, he never liked it.

Even when she was insane, he couldn't do anything for her. He took her to see a psychiatrist several times just to ask her hometown for money, saying that he was dragged down badly and needed a lot of money appease.

After she went completely crazy, she took his only nephew Su Lang to various messy places, saying that the emptiness in her heart needs to be filled in that way.

Only he himself understands that such a method can only snowball and make people feel more empty.

Chen Yu looked at Chen Wei carefully, and a tear fell down.Chen Wei habitually raised her hand to wipe it off for him, and said with a smile, "Is someone playing tricks on you again? I'll clean them up."

Chen Yu was about to collapse. It was at this moment that he realized how happy his little half of his life was, and it wasn't what he imagined to be abandoned by his parents, rejected by his adoptive sister, and looked down upon by his lover...

He owes Chen Wei, the Chen family, Su Junliang, and of course the Man family who died in the fire 20 years ago, and Lin Rongyue, the love of his life.

Therefore, he can no longer continue to live on like this, he can no longer hide and numb himself with alcohol and fantasy, he must do something to make the rest of his short life feel at ease.

It turned out that what Chen Yu told Su Lang about the fire 20 years ago was a version he discussed with Su Junliang many years ago, which was not the real situation at all.

It's just that over the years, he has tortured himself with that painful memory over and over again, and only by using that "truth" can he survive. After a long time, he seems to believe it.

That day, Su Junliang hid in the dark and watched his son Su Lang light a firework in the rain.

The child hesitated, didn't even have the courage to appreciate the firework in a panic, and ran away after lighting the fuse.

The fuse was soaked by rain and went out less than a centimeter from the blaster.

Su Junliang laughed, laughed at his son's timidity, and also laughed at the cuteness in this timidity.He wanted to help the child light the fireworks, so that Su Lang could see the light as long as he ran on the road and looked back.

However, the moment he bent over and got up, there were rustling sounds in the corner of the backyard.

That night, he had no intention of poisoning Man Tsinghua at all, he just wanted to go back to Su Lang and find out why he hid.But I didn't expect to meet Chen Yu and Lin Rongyue whispering in the corner again.

Lin Rongyue was quite dissatisfied with Chen Yu, who smelled like alcohol, saying that he still hadn't given up his bad habit of drinking for so many years, she would never see Chen Yu again, and felt that she loved the wrong person before.

Chen Yu stalked Lin Rongyue to get back together. If the other party didn't get back together, he would tell the whole family about their relationship.

In such a situation, Su Junliang didn't persuade him, and he didn't persuade him. The other party was an adult and should be able to handle everything well, so he was ready to turn around and leave.

At this moment, a flame lit up from behind, and Lin Rongyue, who was frightened, ran back to the house screaming to wake people up, but unexpectedly, Chen Yu, who was drunk, was not prepared to get out alive, he had arranged everything early, if this If the woman doesn't follow his will, he will set fire to burn everything.

Su Junliang didn't care about that much, he only remembered that there was a boy who was about the same age as his son in the yard, so he rushed straight to the corner of the children's room, and rescued the sleeping Man Xiao from the rapidly spreading flames. peak.

The fire was much more violent than expected, and it was out of control after a while.Manjia's old houses are all made of wood. Although it rained, it was still easy to burn into a sea of ​​fire.

Su Junliang hugged Man Xiaofeng back in his sleep, and urged Chen Yu to call the police.

Chen Yu was dumbfounded by the fire, and he didn't expect things to turn out like this, so he called the fire alarm and first aid cautiously.

He hid in the corner and cried, and could only ask Su Junliang for help again, like when he was punished for doing "bad things" in the orphanage many years ago.

He knew that as long as he asked, his big brother would always save him.
