Xiao Zhuoyan had a livid face and said nothing, watching as Xiao Shu supported the old woman and walked away in the wind and rain. In the long corridor, the only sound was the sound of rain.
Xu Wanqing walked up and held his hand.
As soon as the mother and son disappeared in front of him, Xiao Zhuoyan's face immediately collapsed. He was no longer as cold and heartless as before. His face was full of panic and doubt.
"Qingqing, did you hear what she said?" He stared into her eyes, "She said that dad was forced to death, is that true? Did I hear that right?"
Xu Wanqing nodded, "Yes, you heard it right, that's what she said."
"But my mother never told me." Xiao Zhuoyan sighed, "She just said that my father was sick and died."
"She probably doesn't want you to get involved in these grudges anymore." Xu Wanqing patted his hand, "Don't think too much. I think Xiao Shen's mother was a little confused when she said these words. Maybe the truth is not like that.
That's what she said, otherwise Xiao Shu's reaction wouldn't be so bland, right?"
Xiao Zhuoyan looked at her, but frowned and said nothing. Xu Wanqing knew that he was anxious, so she said, "I will ask him when Xiao Shen goes to work tomorrow."
Who would have expected that the answer he got from Xiao Shu would make people laugh and cry.
"Dad committed suicide by jumping off a building." Xiao Shen couldn't hide his sadness when talking about these things. "He failed in business and owed a lot of loan sharks. Creditors always came to ask for debts. He was always very pessimistic. He had also been very pessimistic before.
I have tried to commit suicide several times, but it was just because my mother took a close look at me that I never succeeded."
"Then your mother said he was forced to death, did you mean the people who forced him to pay debts?" Xu Wanqing asked.
Xiao Shuan looked embarrassed, lowered his head and was silent for a while, and said: "Don't listen to my mother's nonsense. She has always refused to accept the reality of my father's death, so every time she mentioned my father, she would talk nonsense. I was
I thought what she said was true, so I asked her to tell the person's name, but what she said was always weird. I didn't even know what she was talking about. Maybe it was her father's sudden death that made her have to find him.
An exit."
Xu Wanqing was surprised, "But I think my aunt has a clear mind and doesn't look like a confused person?"
"As long as dad is not mentioned, she is not only clear-minded, but also shrewd and capable!" Xiao Shen smiled bitterly, "But dad is her Achilles' heel. Maybe it's because she cares about him too much. Their relationship is very deep."
Xu Wanqing was silent, but Xiao Shu was there to apologize, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, I'm really sorry for disturbing you yesterday, but..." Xiao Shu glanced at her carefully and asked hesitantly: "Mr. Xu,
I don’t quite understand what’s going on between Mr. Xiao and my mother.”
Xu Wanqing didn't know how to answer for a while, so she just changed the subject and asked: "How was your mother going back last night? It rained so hard and she didn't catch a cold?"
"No, she's in good health. It's just a little rain, so she's fine." Xiao Shen replied.
"Then...did she say anything to you?" Xu Wanqing asked again.
"No." Xiao Shu shook his head, "She was just in a low mood. She was nagging me to try to get better, to avenge my father, and so on. After nagging for a long time, she fell asleep."
Xu Wanqing was convinced that Xiao Shu didn't know what happened to her parents in the past, and she couldn't speak freely, but Xiao Shu asked again -
