Three o'clock, Lily of the Valley Cafe, inside the MVP room.
Lily-of-the-valley flowers filled the entire room, and the fine white sand in the sapphire blue hourglass slowly fell. Li Siqin and Xia Haitong sat looking at each other, with a cup of coffee placed in front of each other.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
Li Siqin took a sip of coffee and said leisurely: "Haitong, don't be so impatient. You can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient."
Xia Haitong frowned slightly and said displeasedly: "Miss Li, I think it's better for you to clarify your words quickly. I'm very busy and don't have time to spend with you."
Li Siqin put down the cup and said, "Okay, in that case, let me tell you something easy first, lest it becomes too heavy all of a sudden and you won't be able to bear it."
Xia Haitong looked at Li Siqin warily. After receiving a text message from Li Siqin, Xia Haitong did not want to accept the invitation for fear of a trap, but Li Siqin told her that she knew the current whereabouts of her parents, so Xia Haitong took the risk to come out.
, met her in the coffee shop.
Although this is Li Siqin's place, after all, she is in the city, so she doesn't dare to mess around. And she has made an agreement with Ding Xiaoqian that if she doesn't call her at eight o'clock in the evening, it will prove that something has happened to her.
"Please say."
Li Siqin looked at Xia Haitong and said with a soft smile, "Do you know that to Chengxuan, you are worse than a dog?"
Li Siqin told the truth about why Xia Haitong was hospitalized with a gunshot wound, but he didn't expect that Xia Haitong just listened calmly and showed no sign of anger.
"Is this what you want to say?" Xia Haitong asked calmly.
"You know everything?" Li Siqin looked slightly unhappy.
Xia Haitong shook his head: "No, I didn't know before."
"Then why are you so calm?" Li Siqin paused slightly, "Are you just pretending?"
Xia Haitong smiled disdainfully and said, "Miss Li, don't think that everyone in the world likes acting as much as you do. There is only one reason why I am not angry after hearing this."
Li Siqin looked at Xia Haitong suspiciously, but she just said calmly: "Because I'm not surprised that Ye Chengxuan would treat me like this."
"You mean, even if Chengxuan kills you, you won't be surprised?"
"Yes, that's it." Xia Haitong raised his head slightly and said slowly, "I, Xia Haitong, am a self-aware person. I know very well that in his heart, I am just a chess piece and a tool. My life is against him.
To him, it is nothing more than a mayfly, not worth mentioning at all."
Li Siqin raised her eyebrows: "I didn't expect you to be quite self-aware."
Xia Haitong glanced at her sideways and said: "Of course. But I also know why Ye Chengxuan did that at that time. He just wanted to make Wang Defang believe it more. In the final analysis, he still thought about my safety. What's more, he did it at that time
If he cares about my life, how can he be willing to let me die? He won't let me take this risk without a foolproof plan."
Li Siqin looked at Xia Haitong's proud expression, and all he wanted to do was take out her body and feed it to the dogs. Seeing Li Siqin's livid face, Xia Haitong screamed with joy!
"I don't know if Miss Li has finished her gossip. If so, please fulfill your promise."
Li Siqin nodded and said: "Haha, since you want to know so much, then I will help you." After a slight pause, she held the notebook in front of Xia Haitong, "But you have to be mentally prepared and don't be fooled by what's inside.
Something scares me."
Xia Haitong looked at Li Siqin suspiciously. Just when she was thinking about what kind of medicine Li Siqin was selling in the gourd, Li Siqin suddenly opened the notebook.
Xia Haitong covered her mouth and looked at the photos inside in disbelief.
Impossible, this is impossible!!
"Li Siqin, these photos must have been synthesized by you, do you think I will believe it?!"
Li Siqin raised her red lips and said, "Haitong, I didn't expect you to be such a fragile person. I thought you could accept this fact calmly." After a slight pause, she added, "But think about it.
, my parents are actually drug addicts, this kind of thing is really hard to accept."
"Li Siqin, I think you are deliberately looking for trouble! You don't have to talk nonsense here, I won't listen to you!" Xia Haitong stood up, "I think there is nothing left to talk about between us, let's take our leave!"
Just when Xia Haitong wanted to rush out of the door, Li Siqin said lightly: "Don't you want to know the real reason why your parents left you three years ago?"
As expected by Li Siqin, Xia Haitong slowly lowered his hand in the air, and Li Siqin added: "Your family was originally a well-off family, but three years ago, your parents encountered obstacles in their business and sold it.
After losing all their property, they were still unable to recover. Then they suddenly disappeared, leaving only you and your sick sister. From then on, you and your sister depended on each other and lived in a dilapidated small house."
Xia Haitong turned around: "It seems you spend a lot of time with me."
Li Siqin snorted and said: "Although you have been working and studying since then, because you have to bear the living expenses and rent of two people, it is impossible for you to have spare money to cure your sister. Because your sister's condition suddenly became critical, so you chose to
Chengxuan signed a contract and sold himself to him."
Xia Haitong frowned: "Please tell me the key points."
Li Siqin stared at Xia Haitong: "The point is, have you ever thought about why your parents suddenly failed in business and left suddenly?"
Xia Haitong rolled his eyes: "There is a difference between thinking about it and knowing the answer. Please, Miss Li, please stop selling it."
Li Siqin smiled sweetly and said calmly: "The reason is very simple, because all this was deliberately arranged by someone behind the scenes."
Xia Haitong looked at Li Siqin suspiciously and said tentatively: "You...you want to say that this is all arranged by Ye Chengxuan?"
Li Siqin nodded: "Yes, it's Chengxuan!"
Xia Haitong shook his head: "No, it's impossible, how could he be related to all this... By the way! He started looking for me four years ago, not after my parents disappeared, so
It’s none of his business, it’s none of his business…”
"It's none of his business? Have you ever thought that it was your refusal that forced Chengxuan to take this step?" Li Siqin opened a video, "If you don't believe what I say, then just listen
Listen to what your parents say."
The location of the video is a poorly furnished hut, which looks like it should be in the countryside or in the mountains. Xia Haitong's mother took a syringe and shot herself in the arm, while her father was taking heroin.
The two of them looked very thin and haggard, and the mother had almost all white hair, and the father also had mixed hair. The fifty-year-old looked like he was in his sixties or almost seventy.
"Here's your dose for next week."
Although Xia Haitong couldn't see the man's figure, she could tell that it was Asen's voice.
"Give it, give it to me, give it to me quickly!" Xia Haitong's mother knelt on the ground, begging for the drugs in his hand like a beggar.
"Mr. Ye has something to tell you. He said he will release you soon, and then you can be reunited as a family."
Hearing this, a glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the two people, and they asked in unison: "Is it true, is this, is this true?!"
"kindness."
"That's great. On behalf of Haitong and Xueqing, we would like to thank Mr. Ye for taking care of our family. Thank you so much, thank you so much!!" Xia Haitong's parents knelt on the ground and kowtowed. "If it weren't for Mr. Ye, our family would
I can’t live such a happy life, thank you Mr. Ye, thank you Mr. Ye!!”
"You must remember that you cannot mention anything related to Mr. Ye to others after you go out, and we will also suspend the supply of your drugs."
"What? Suspend the supply? No, don't suspend the supply! I, we are not leaving, we will stay here for the rest of our lives, please don't stop giving us medicine!"
Suddenly there was a black screen and the video stopped abruptly.
Xia Haitong staggered back two steps and shook her head vigorously. This is impossible, impossible!!
But, that familiar voice, that familiar figure, how to explain all this?
Since the death of her younger brother, her parents have become very cold towards her, and their words also reveal a sense of disgust. However, Xia Haitong would rather see their indifferent faces than see this one that makes her feel
Terrible face.
It was as if they had been brainwashed. Their dependence and desire for drugs frightened her to the extreme. They regarded their enemies as benefactors and put drugs first in their lives. Without drugs, they seemed to have no chance of survival.
The goal is the same.
For the sake of drugs, they did not hesitate to put down their dignity and freedom, and were willing to spend the rest of their lives in that small house. Xia Haitong could not believe that these two people were really his parents? Where had their courage and diligence gone?
?!!
Once upon a time, in those endless dark nights, the figures of her parents would rush into her mind. Although she said she was so strong, deep down in her heart, she had always longed to meet them.
However, she never imagined that when she saw her parents' faces again after many years of absence, it would be like this!
She doesn't believe it, how can she believe it?!
Xia Haitong took two steps back, suddenly twisted her feet, and fell to her knees on the ground. Big tears kept pouring out of her eyes. She clenched her fists, beat the floor, and silently recited: This
Not true, not true.
Yes, this must be fake. Technology is so advanced now that anything can be faked, so this video must also be fake!
But at this moment, that gentle voice sounded again.
"Haitong, actually you can't blame Chengxuan, you can only blame yourself for being arrogant. If you had agreed to Chengxuan earlier, then your family wouldn't have had so many things happen, don't you think?"
Seeing that Xia Haitong remained silent, Li Siqin said again: "Haitong, don't be sad. There are many successful cases of drug addicts after being sent to drug rehabilitation centers. It is very easy to get rid of drug addiction. But it seems that your parents are a little terminally ill."
Life may be in danger at any time, but if you have money, you may be able to save it." At the end, she added, "If you have money."
Li Siqin looked at Xia Haitong on the ground coldly, and her contemptuous voice slowly sounded: "Do you know that a person's birth will determine her life's destiny. People like me are favored by God, have beauty, wisdom and
A woman from a good family, even if I don’t have to work hard, can easily achieve a perfect life. But a commoner like you can only struggle between survival and death, and suffer the anger of your boss and customers for the pitiful salary, like
People like you are born to be slaves. No matter how hard you work, you can never become a member of the upper class!"
