Who is the perpetrator of the car accident? The first reveal of the truth
Ye Xingchen's steps subconsciously stopped.
He Zhai?
Lou Xi’s grandfather’s surname is He?
Although the surname "He" is not very special. For example, when she was at the Military Medical University, her mentor, Professor He Lin, was also named He. But looking at the whole of Beijing, and even the country, there are old Red Army veterans named He who have made outstanding achievements.
Chief, how many more are there?
She couldn't help but think of the old man who appeared at her parents' funeral seven years ago.
No, no, it won’t be such a coincidence, no!
She shook her head subconsciously, but her face became uncontrollably pale.
"Xingchen, what's wrong with you?" Lou Xi noticed something was wrong with her and asked with concern.
Ye Xingchen suddenly came back to his senses, forced himself to calm down, pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth, and said in a trembling voice, "It's nothing."
Lou Xi thought she was nervous because she was going to meet her elders, so he held her small hand with his big hand and said comfortingly, "Don't be nervous, grandpa is very kind."
His voice was extremely low, which made Ye Xingchen feel at ease.
"Yes, I understand." She nodded vigorously, telling herself not to think nonsense. It was just a last name, and it might just be a coincidence.
Even if...even if it is really the old man, it doesn't necessarily mean anything. The old man has no blood relationship with the Lou family. He may have other grandchildren. The perpetrator may not be Lou Yi or Lou Xi.
No, definitely not!
Ye Xingchen tried his best to comfort himself, but his palms were wet and he was sweating.
"Let's go in!" Han Fengyi said calmly, holding the cake in one hand and pressing the doorbell with the other.
Someone soon came out of the room, and a purple figure looked very familiar.
Ye Xingchen took a closer look, Hongyu?
Seeing the surprised look on her face, Lou Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, suddenly thought of something, and quickly explained, "Oh, didn't I tell you that Hongyu is grandpa's granddaughter? In terms of seniority, she should be regarded as
My cousin."
Ye Xingchen nodded blankly, no wonder Hongyu always called him Brother Lou Xi.
However, they are not related by blood. Anyone can see Hongyu's feelings for Lou Xi. I wonder if Hongyu will be unhappy after seeing her?
Just as she was thinking in a daze, Hongyu had already walked through the door. Through the iron gate, she had already seen the person coming. When she arrived, she greeted her warmly and said, "Uncle Lou, Aunt Han, happy New Year! Lou Yi
Brother, Brother Lou Xi..."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly paused because she saw Ye Xingchen.
Ye Xingchen subconsciously tightened his hand held tightly by Lou Xi, feeling a little sorry in his heart.
She had a good impression of Hongyu. They had met several times in Yunchuan before. Although the friendship between the two was not very deep, they had met several times and had dinner together.
At best, they can be considered friends.
She could see clearly how Hongyu treated Lou Xi, but now that she and Lou Xi appeared here hand in hand, Hongyu should not only be surprised, but also feel embarrassed, right?
She didn't mean it, but it was just the way it was.
"Doctor Ye?" Hongyu asked again as if she didn't want to believe it.
Ye Xingchen nodded awkwardly, but didn't know what to say.
Lou Xi knew what Ye Xingchen was thinking. As kind as she was, he must have been feeling uncomfortable, so he stepped forward and said to Hongyu with a half-smile, "Do you know what Dr. Ye, I will call my cousin in the future?"
Cousin-in-law?
Hongyu suddenly opened her eyes wide, with shock and loss that could not be concealed in her beautiful eyes.
"Hongyu, why don't you invite someone in?" Another person walked out of the room and urged.
When Ye Xingchen heard the sound, he was stunned again, Professor He Lin?
Oh, by the way, she remembered that Hongyu once said that Professor He Lin was her aunt, so Professor He Lin should be her grandfather's daughter.
Lou Xi lowered his head and explained to her again, "Professor He Lin should be familiar to you. She is grandpa's youngest daughter. Grandpa also has an eldest daughter, Hongyu's mother, He Ying."
Ye Xingchen's heart shrank and he asked nervously, "Grandpa doesn't have a son?"
"No, only two daughters."
Ye Xingchen's heart suddenly sank, and a bad premonition came over him.
Lou Xi told her that his uncles all gave birth to daughters. The only male grandchildren in the Lou family were him and Lou Yi. So... the old man's grandson, the perpetrator of the car accident, was either Lou Yi or...
Lou Xi.
Professor He Lin quickly opened the door and invited everyone in. He was slightly startled when he saw Ye Xingchen, which was obviously an accident.
"Professor He." Ye Xingchen greeted politely, but felt very uneasy.
"This world is so small, what a fate!" He Lin sighed with a smile, and then called to everyone, "Come on, everyone, come in, the old man has been waiting since early in the morning!"
The little devil was the first to rush in, and he didn't forget to grab Shu Rao and shouted happily, "Grandpa, I have a mother!"
Shu Rao's face suddenly turned red again, and when she glanced at Ye Xingchen's melancholy expression, she subconsciously frowned, walked over quickly, and asked in a low voice, "Xingchen, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Xingchen shook his head, still unwilling to face reality, and still had the last glimmer of hope in his heart.
"It's okay, I'm just...a little nervous." She bit her lip and said.
Shu Rao was also nervous, so he didn't think much about it. He just gently shook her hand, and the two encouraged each other.
The group of people walked through the long courtyard and walked towards the main house of the villa.
Every step Ye Xingchen took was difficult. Although Lou Xi kept holding her hand, comforting her and telling her not to be nervous, she couldn't tell him that she was not only nervous, but also scared, afraid of that nightmare.
The facts have been confirmed, and they are afraid that the happy and stable life between them will be broken, and they are afraid that they will no longer be able to be together without any distractions.
Every step she took was like walking on thin ice, worrying that she would fall into the ice cave the next second, and no one would be able to save her, just like her parents would never survive.
In the room, old man He Minghui could no longer sit still. He leaned on a cane and with the support of his eldest daughter, he stood up and looked up at the door.
A few hours ago, he heard on the phone that Lou Yi and Lou Xi were both bringing their significant other over today, and he was very anxious to wait for his granddaughter-in-law!
"Dad..." Lou Yicheng and Han Fengyi shouted together.
"Grandpa..." Lou Yi and Lou Xi also said in unison.
He Minghui smiled and nodded. The white-haired old man looked energetic because of his happiness, and looked at Shu Rao and Ye Xingchen.
Both of them were very reserved, with their heads slightly lowered.
"Rao Rao, this is grandpa." Lou Yi shook Shu Rao's hand affectionately and said with a smile.
Shu Rao slowly raised his head and called out shyly, "Grandpa, happy New Year."
"Okay, okay." He Minghui nodded repeatedly and smiled kindly.
Lou Xi also shook Ye Xingchen's hand and introduced him to the old man, "Grandpa, this is my wife, Ye Xingchen."
Ye Xingchen?
Ye Xingchen!
The smile on He Minghui's face suddenly froze.
Ye Xingchen also slowly raised his head and looked at the old man. His eyes were empty for a moment, his lips opened, but he couldn't say the greeting, "..."
He Minghui also looked at her, his face getting paler and paler, as if he was overly grieved. He took a few steps back and almost fell down, but refused anyone's help. He had a sad look on his face and his eyes were fixed on her and Lou Xi's interlocking fingers.
The hand holding the cane suddenly started to tremble slightly.
Everyone noticed something was wrong, but they didn't know why. Only Ye Xingchen knew that the perpetrator turned out to be... Lou Xi.
In an instant, she understood everything and why her uncle had such a bad attitude towards Lou Xi. It turned out that her uncle had long known that he was the one who killed her parents!
When her mind emptied, she lost all consciousness. She only felt that the sky suddenly turned dark, as if the end of the world was coming. She could no longer see the sun tomorrow. She was so desperate that everything in the world had turned into nothingness, noise, and silence.
, after all, there is no way to escape the sadness.
Her hand was still held by Lou Xi, but the temperature in his palm no longer made her feel warm. Their fingers were intertwined, but she felt that they suddenly became so far apart.
If she had never met him, if she had never loved him, maybe she wouldn't feel so painful, but now, who will tell her how she should love him?
She gave up the prosecution back then, but it didn't mean she was truly relieved. It was just that she couldn't refuse the old man's plea.
On the day of the car accident, in the hospital morgue, the old man knelt in front of the corpses of her parents and even knelt down for her. He said that he wanted to apologize to her on behalf of his grandson who was still rescuing him in the emergency room. He said that if
His grandson is still alive, so please don't prosecute him. She was confused at the time, but one thing is still very clear. Although it was a traffic accident, the police said it was due to drunk driving. She cannot tolerate that kind of behavior!
However, before she had time to refuse, the old man told her that his grandson had just graduated from West Point Military Academy. He was a talent that the country and the army had spent a lot of time and energy cultivating. He was one of the best young people in China.
The leader among military officers, the country, the army, and his family all need him. He will perform more and more important tasks for the motherland and the people. If she sues, his future will be ruined, and the country and the army will be ruined for several years.
All your hard work will be in vain.
Although everyone is equal before the law, she also knows that it is the lesser of two evils. Her parents are soldiers, and they have told her since she was a child that they would do anything for the military uniform they wear.
Therefore, although she was sad, she gritted her teeth and agreed to the old man, promising that he would not sue his grandson. The old man was so grateful that he burst into tears. This not only represented his own love for his grandson, but also represented an old chief's love for his subordinates.
ardent hope.
From the car accident to the funeral, the old man shouldered everything. He helped her handle her funeral affairs in every detail, and promised her that although his grandson could not repay the life of her parents, he could still pay for it.
He will definitely protect and save more people in the future, and he will not let her sacrifices be in vain.
She cried and nodded. She believed in the old man's promise and believed that her dead parents would be happy with her choice.
After the funeral, she refused the old man's request to take care of her in the future. Her only request was that he would never see him again.
Not long after, it was the college entrance examination. She applied for the Military Medical University and left Beijing. She stayed away for several years and came back every year on her parents' memorial day to sweep their graves. Every time she went to the cemetery, she would see in front of the tombstones,
Someone placed white daisies before her.
She knew it was a gift from the old man, but he never showed up. He kept his original promise.
She was very pleased.
However, she never imagined that the wheel of fate would turn her and Lou Xi together.
She had already left Beijing and gone to Yunchuan, which was so far away, but after seven years and thousands of miles apart, they still met and fell in love.
What kind of fate is this?
The perpetrator who killed her parents turned out to be the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with!
The world in front of me blurred into one piece again.
"Xingchen..." Lou Xi didn't know what happened to her, but he felt worried because of her sad expression.
Ye Xingchen said "Yeah" in a daze, and in the blink of an eye, tears couldn't help but fall out of her eyes. She quickly turned her head away, took her hand away from his palm, wiped away her tears, and said with a choked voice, "I
I left something in the car, I'll get it!"
With that said, he turned around and left.
"Xingchen..." Lou Xi subconsciously wanted to chase after him, but He Minghui suddenly fell to the ground with a "thud".
"dad!"
"grandfather!"
"Grandpa!"
Everyone exclaimed in unison and quickly gathered around.
Shu Rao was also startled, but she didn't care about anything else and turned around and went out, "Xingchen..."
Lou Yi looked up and saw her running away. He wanted to chase her but was too late.
"dad……"
"grandfather……"
"Grandpa..."
"Call an ambulance!"
The room was in chaos.
◎◎◎
Ye Xingchen ran out of the villa in one breath. The sky was blue, without clouds, but filled with uncontrollable sadness.
The sun was shining brightly, but it was extremely dazzling. A taxi passed by on the roadside. She stopped it in a panic, got in and cried, "Drive!"
The driver didn't know why and was a little hesitant.
"Hurry up!" she cried harder.
The driver had no choice but to step on the accelerator and drive the car forward. The scenery on both sides of the road flashed by quickly one by one, with ink flowing out and a square of green tiles and white walls left behind.
From behind, Shu Rao ran to catch up, "Xingchen, wait a minute! Stop the car - stop the car -"
But it's still a step too late.
She ran for a while, but still couldn't catch up. In the end, she could only watch the taxi driving farther and farther.
I looked back and wanted to take a taxi to catch up, but fate seemed to be against someone. No other car passed by me for a long time.
The taxi moved forward slowly, Ye Xingchen leaned his head against the window, his face was pale and expressionless, like a puppet without a soul.
With tears in my eyes, I looked at the coastline in the distance. It was no longer as long as the sky and the earth, but it seemed to be a place with no mountains and no water.
Who cut the time into fireworks, and saw all the prosperity in one moment. At the end of the prosperity, with just one glance, there is the end of the world.
She reached out and took out the necklace around her neck. Her body temperature still remained on the ring, but it was extremely sad when she held it in her hand.
How will they live in the future?
Divorce? How easy is it to get divorced in a military marriage? Even if you get divorced, you only get a divorce certificate, not love.
Some people, once they meet, will be in love forever. Some feelings, once they begin, will be irrevocable. Some feelings, once attached to them, will be destroyed. Some fates, once intertwined, will be doomed.
There was also Sisi. She had promised the little girl that she would never leave her again, but she couldn't bear to abandon Sisi.
The car continued to move forward and the straight road reached an intersection. The driver carefully asked, "Miss, where are you going?"
Ye Xingchen was at a loss and couldn't answer for a while. In this strange city, she had no place to go. But in this world, some roads must be faced alone. No matter how long the road is, it must be walked alone. No matter how far it is, no matter how difficult or dangerous it is, you still have to walk it alone and silently.
Her cell phone rang rapidly, over and over again, but she didn't answer it once. She just stared numbly out of the car window and said quietly, "Beijing."
The driver was surprised that it was a long distance!
The taxi got on the Beijing-Shenyang Expressway and drove towards Beijing.
Three and a half hours later, the car arrived at a cemetery. The air after the snow was extremely fresh, and the snowflakes blown by the wind fell from the branches and fell to the ground, freezing.
Ye Xingchen slowly walked up the steps and walked to his parents' tombstones.
A slender black figure was already standing there.
Hearing her footsteps, Zuo Lingfeng slowly turned around, with pity in his eyes. She finally knew.
