Rumors of Xie Qingcheng and He Yu's affair at the Wei family's wedding banquet still spread.

These people dare not speak out on the surface, but they are discussing lively behind the scenes.

The secret finally reached Xie Xue's ears. After she experienced the initial shock and anger, she fell into deep worry.

She didn't think this incident was just a simple poisoning. After all, He Yu and her brother didn't react as if they had just experienced an accident. As Xie Qingcheng's younger sister, after she calmed down, she cared most about her brother. current emotional state.

Because others kept it from her before, she didn't know that Xie Qingcheng had encountered such a thing. Looking back now, she realized why Xie Qingcheng was depressed and taciturn than before.

She wanted to ask Xie Qingcheng about the specific situation, but she didn't dare to ask, so she could only vent her anger on Wei Dongheng: "I said that the people I met in that hotel were He Yu and my brother, but you just said it wasn't... Otherwise, otherwise I would have..."

Halfway through, he bit his lip again and couldn't continue.

She also knew that even if she was sure that it was He Yu and Xie Qingcheng, she didn't have the courage to chase after them and ask more questions.

Now she felt uncomfortable all over, the more she thought about it, the more clues began to emerge in her mind.

——She once saw He Yu and her brother come out of an empty classroom with their own eyes.

During the Spring Festival, when she returned home, she saw He Yu and her brother standing in disheveled clothes in a room with no lights on, and there were broken vases on the floor.

When she saw the taxi picking up passengers, He Yu naturally hugged Xie Qingcheng's waist...

In the scorching heat, Xie Xue's hands and feet were cold from thinking about it.

Could it be that they were together so early?

Xie Xue, who was tormented by anxiety to the point where she could not sleep for several nights, finally made up her mind to ask her brother.

It was already summer vacation at this time, Xie Qingcheng didn't live in the janitor's dormitory, but rested at home.

She hesitated and showed up at the door of her house in Moyuxiang with a bunch of fruit supplements. She tiptoed to look in the window and found that Xie Qingchen was not at home at the moment.

"Xiaoxue?"

Xie Xue turned her head and saw Li Miaoqing just coming out of the next room, she hurriedly said, "Aunt Li, where is my brother?"

"I don't know, I have something to go out." Li Miaoqing put the clothes to be dried together with the plastic basin on the stone bench next to her, wiped her wet hands on the apron, looked at Xie Xue's face, and said with concern, " Come, Xiaoxue, come here."

She took Xie Xue's hand and asked, "Why are you so haggard? There are dark circles under your eyes? Did something happen to you?"

Xie Xue endured it for too long, when she heard her question, she cried without thinking: "Aunt Li, I, my brother recently—"

Halfway through the words, he reacted again.

Although Aunt Li also came on the day of the wedding banquet, she has always been by his side to help, and the matter of Xie Qingcheng and He Yu belongs to the secrets of the wealthy family, and it is only spread among those people, and Aunt Li may not know about it.

Xie Xue stopped, and the words stuck in her throat.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Li heard the first half of the sentence, combined with Xie Xue's expression at the moment, and asked in a trembling voice: "You... also know? The matter of He Yu..."

Xie Xue opened her eyes wide, and the two women looked at each other for a long time, neither of them clarified the rest of the words, but they both saw the answer from each other's eyes.

Xie Xue suddenly threw herself into Aunt Li's arms, and finally burst into tears.

"..."

"...that's how it is."

After Li Miaoqing told Xie Xue how she discovered the secret between He Yu and Xie Qingcheng, Xie Xue was still wiping tears, but compared to the sadness and confusion when she came, she was more angry at the moment.

After all, what Li Miaoqing had seen and heard before had convinced her that He Yu was a scumbag and playboy. , depressed and reticent.

She told Xie Xue about these things, and Xie Xue thought about it again, it would be even more amazing——

That was He Yu's PUA her brother, who slapped a candy to eat, seduced people and hurt them severely, and coaxed people sweetly after the hurt, and ended up causing such a thing in Xuan Pavilion.Mr. He felt ashamed now, so he simply dumped Xie Qing. Her brother had to digest the pain of not only being deceived and abandoned by a child, but also having his reputation damaged.

Xie Xue was so angry that she gritted her teeth: "That bastard...he dares to play with my brother? No...I can't stand it...I'll find him!"

Aunt Li was more sensible, and hurriedly said: "Don't let your brother find out! He has a good face, if he knows that we also know about him, he will feel even more uncomfortable."

"Don't worry, I'm only looking for He Yu, I'd like to ask him, how did he fall into the trap of lard...!"

Xie Xue said it lightly now, he is He Yu's teacher.

To put it more seriously, she is the wife of the third son of the Wei family, and she doesn't really care about her status. Wei Dongheng has never said anything about this kind of family status, but when she goes out and enters the store, those people Call her Mrs. Wei.

If she wanted to find He Yu, no matter what her identity was, she would be able to get on the stage.

So she didn't expect that He Yu would not answer her call.

She called seventeen or eight times, but He Yu finally turned off the phone.

"Damn it! Scumbag!" Xie Xuenu dropped her phone, stopped a taxi and reported the address of He's house, and the taxi drove her away.

Arriving outside the He residence, the housekeeper with a flustered expression greeted him.

The housekeeper didn't pay much attention to Miss Xie before, but now he treats Mrs. Wei respectfully.

"I want to see He Yu." Xie Xue said with suppressed anger, "Please tell him to let me in."

The butler didn't dare to neglect, and immediately turned back.

But after a while, he came back tremblingly, his face was full of uneasiness, as if he had something to hide.

"Mrs. Wei." The housekeeper said anxiously, "Young Master He... well, he is in poor health, and he really can't receive you today. Do you think it's better to wait another day?"

No matter how angry Xie Xue was, there was no reason to break into a private house.

She stared angrily at the brightly lit main building in the distance. After a while, she found several medical staff walking back and forth from the main building.

One of them still seems to be...

She froze for a moment, rubbed her eyes, and the somewhat familiar figure disappeared around the corner.

——That person can't be a doctor either... She must have been delusional.

Xie Xue asked the housekeeper unhappily, "Why did he suddenly get sick?"

The butler only smiled apologetically, with a helpless expression that it was inconvenient to say more.

Xie Xue wasn't the kind of person who would bully the servants as soon as she got her way. Seeing that the housekeeper was really embarrassed, she stopped asking, but turned her attention to the main building again.This time, she saw the boy standing in front of the French windows on the third floor.

"He Yu—"

He Yu was talking to a nurse. Because of the distance, Xie Xue couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but seeing him folded his arms in a defensive posture, the nurse kept her head down, as if apologizing to him .He finally turned his face away from the nurse, and saw Xie Xue at the gate of the villa from a distance.

A little still.

He Yu suddenly raised his hand and closed the curtains.

Xie Xue stomped his feet angrily, but had no choice but to leave in the end.Along the way, the more she thought about it, the more sad she became. She really didn't know how her brother, who was so pure and ascetic, would be tricked by this little bastard, He Yu, and now he was being bullied into such an inhuman and ghostly appearance.

...Her brother has never been bad to He Yu. After so many years, he has cared about him and taken care of him.In Xie Xue's opinion, that kind of concern has far surpassed Xie Qingcheng's concern for ordinary patients.

And He Yu clearly knew that Xie Qingcheng's marriage was unfortunate, and he had lived alone and cold for many years, but he still wanted to seduce him and ruin him, doing things that were even worse than Li Ruoqiu's cheating.

What did her brother owe him?

How could he do it?

Xie Xue really wanted to go back to Moyu Lane to be by Xie Qingcheng's side, talk about everything, and go to comfort him.But she also knew that Li Miaoqing's handling method was correct, Xie Qingcheng was not the kind of person who had a strong desire to confide, he was used to quietly enduring and digesting things alone with a cigarette.

He didn't want anyone touching his scar, even to heal him.

Thinking of this, Xie Xue took out a tissue from her small bag, wiped the tears from her eyelashes, and was about to put the rest of the tissue back when her cell phone rang.

"Hello...Brother?" The call was from Xie Qingcheng, and Xie Xue tried to maintain the calmness in her voice so that he wouldn't notice anything strange.

"Have you been to Moyu Lane this afternoon?"

"Yes, yes. How do you know?"

"...you left the fruit at the door of your house."

Xie Xue patted herself on the head silently and vigorously——her pig's brain!

"Where are you now?" Xie Qingcheng's voice was as calm as cold water, without any waves.

Xie Xue said: "I... saw that you were not here, so I went shopping in a nearby shopping mall..."

Xie Qingcheng said: "Buy less unnecessary things."

After a pause, he said again: "Are you coming back for dinner? Or go home?"

"Back—" Xie Xue choked.

Before when he asked her if she would go home, he was referring to the small house in Moyu Lane that belonged to their brother and sister.

But now, what he asked about going back home was referring to her and Wei Dongheng's new home.She became a family, and he was the only one left in the hut in Moyuxiang.

Xie Xue clenched the tissue tightly, and her tearful reflection was vaguely reflected in the taxi window.

"Hello?" Xie Qingcheng's voice was still calm and magnetic, with a little confusion, "Why don't you talk?"

Xie Xue resisted choking sobs until her throat became sore and astringent.

She said, "...No, the signal was not good just now."

He said again: "I'm back. Brother, I'm going back to our home for dinner."

"Oh...then when will it be?" Xie Qingcheng's voice was still quiet, but the silence that perfectly concealed all emotions made Xie Xuezhui's heart ache at this moment.

"In half an hour." Xie Xue said softly.

"it is good."

Before Xie Qingcheng hung up, she called him again: "Brother."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

With tears on her face, Xie Xue smiled ugly: "I...I want to eat your Yangzhou fried rice. You don't need to prepare too much, just fry a bowl of Yangzhou fried rice for me, okay?"

Xie Qingcheng brought Xie Xue up since he was a child, and he knows very well how to take care of others.

When Xie Xue came home and pushed the door open, he had just finished cooking the Yangzhou fried rice without peas and placed it on the small table.In addition, the soup in the electric stew was ready. When he saw Xie Xue coming in, he nodded his head as a greeting, and then turned back to serve her soup.

As soon as the lid of the pot was lifted, a tangy aroma came out of the soup pot.

Xie Xue didn't even need to look at it to know that it was tomato beef brisket stew. When she was growing up, Xie Qingcheng didn't have much money, but he would cook beef brisket soup for her twice a week, using what he could buy. The best beef he got, and then he would give all the beef to Xie Xue, and he would only drink a little tomato soup and eat a few potato cubes in the soup.

Seeing his still tall but already thin figure, Xie Xue felt sore, walked up behind him in three steps at a time, and stretched out her arms to hug him.

Xie Qingcheng was slightly surprised, put down the spoon and looked back at her: "What's wrong? Someone bullied you?"

Xie Xue shook her head in his arms and said softly, "I want to hug you."

"..."

Xie Qingcheng had a faint smell of tobacco, disinfectant, and even a slightly bitter smell of medicine. It was not a very pleasant smell, it was too cold, but Xie Xue felt very at ease when he smelled it.

When the newlyweds return home, some will show such nostalgic behavior.

Therefore, Xie Qingcheng didn't think too much, he sighed, coughed lightly, let Xie Xue hug him for a while, and then said: "Relax, the meal is cold."

The siblings sit at the dining table.

Xie Qingcheng was indeed a little out of his mind, Xie Xue was pregnant now, he couldn't smoke in front of her at all, the feeling of decadence and absent-mindedness was even more distinct.

But he is still very handsome and beautiful. His shirt collar is not as tightly buttoned as usual, but three buttons are undone, and he can see the beautiful collarbone and a small piece of jade-colored chest underneath.

He didn't look at Xie Xue much when he was eating. He was too preoccupied, and he would knock on the table with his fingers unconsciously. It was his habitual action of knocking the cigarette ash. It could be seen that he was suffering a lot.

Xie Xue whispered: "Brother, you should eat more."

She put several pieces of beef in the soup into Xie Qingcheng's bowl.

"You're all thin."

Xie Qingcheng originally wanted her to take the meat back, but suddenly realized that Xie Xue was no longer the little girl who was looking forward to some good meat every week, so she put down the chopsticks she was about to move again.

He collected his attention, finally set his eyes on Xie Xue's face, and was going to chat with his sister for a while about the family affairs after she got married.

However, at this glance, Xie Qingcheng was stunned, and his hands and feet were suddenly cold——

On Xie Xue's earlobe, there was a brand new earring.

A bone-shaped cross of solid gold with a ring in the middle, set with diamond chips, the color of blood, surrounded by three letters: RIP

-

Before the parents of the two of them died, they finally went to meet a mysterious person in the Yanzhou clubhouse... This is the earring that the mysterious person left behind!

Exactly the same! !

Xie Qingcheng got up suddenly: "Xie Xue, where did you get this earring?"

You know, in the year when Xie's parents died, Xie Qingcheng went to Yanzhou alone to investigate. Thanks to a clue from a waiter in the clubhouse at that time, the waiter sent him a photo of the RIP cross earrings, saying that his parents were in Yanzhou. After meeting the mysterious person in the clubhouse, he went into the box to clean and found the earring.

At that time, everyone used Nokia mobile phones, and MMS was used to receive pictures, and the download speed was as slow as a snail.

Until now, he still clearly remembers how the photo was slowly opened bit by bit, showing the appearance of the mysterious earring in front of him.

The waiter made an appointment with him at the hot pot restaurant, and originally wanted to hand over the pendant to him, but who would have thought that the hot pot restaurant caught fire, the waiter died, Xie Qingcheng himself was hit by a car, and the Nokia mobile phone with the photos was taken away. Walk.

For the next 19 years, he only saw that weird golden cross in his dreams.

The RIP on the earrings is like some deep irony, taunting him in a nightmare—

Rest in peace, Xie Qingcheng, don't investigate any further.

You are like a mayfly, as long as the man behind the scenes is willing, death will be close to you.

But now this earring broke out of his dream, and appeared in front of him at a completely unexpected moment, swaying on the earlobe of his newlywed sister.

Xie Qing was cold to the bone and blood, he looked at her and repeated tremblingly: "Where did you get it?"

Xie Xue was startled, and touched her ears: "This? This is what my mother-in-law put it on for me."
