: "Have you ever done that kind of thing? How could I not know?"
"Silly girl——." He sighed with obvious helplessness on his face: "How could you be with me all the time? Don't you know that I was an apprentice in a cake shop back then?"
"I——." Xia Tong said, but had nothing to say.
"Why?" After a while, she asked: "Senior Yi, I really don't understand, why would you do that kind of thing? Is there any difficulty that cannot be solved? Does it have to be in that way?"
"Tongtong, you are still young, and you don't understand many things." He looked at the ceiling, his calm eyes making it difficult to guess what he was thinking: "Back then, my father was investigated for corruption and imprisoned, and he was shot within two months.
.As time goes by, the Yi family went from glory at the beginning to this decadent situation at the end, which was a fatal blow to my mother."
"I've never heard you say any of this," Xia Tong murmured. In the past, she only knew that Senior Yi's father was a senior government official, but she didn't know exactly what he did, and she never asked about what happened to their family.
They were even more unaware of these changes.
"After my father was shot, my mother fell ill overnight. A few months later, she was diagnosed with uterine cancer. Fortunately, it was in the early stage." He paused: "Because of my father's corruption, the family has almost spent money.
Everything is clean and tidy. But in France, I have to spend money everywhere, and I can only do it barely if I take care of myself. It would be too difficult to raise the money for my mother's surgery."
"So you were——"
It's still there and has never been touched. If you had told me then——."
He shook his head: "You don't want to touch that money, right?"
"But at such a critical moment, I would rather have no self-esteem than have you sacrifice so much, senior!"
He smiled: "Don't be sad, that's all in the past. At least I later raised the money for my mother's surgery, and that's enough."
"Not enough, far from enough..." Xia Tong held his hand: "Senior, what are you going to do in the future? If something like this happened, it would have a great impact on you, right?"
"It's not as big as you think." He patted her head with a relieved look on his face: "I plan to take my mother to Australia in a few days. The ecological air there is good and suitable for my mother to recuperate. I think this
No matter how hard the bad news spreads, it won’t be able to cross the entire Pacific Ocean. If I’m so unlucky and it reaches the ears of a foreign ghost guy, the worst I can do is not become a lawyer, so what does it matter?”
He said it easily, but Xia Tong couldn't let go. He went to France to study political law for five years, and finally made a name for himself in the legal profession in City A. He could have a brilliant future. But he had to leave his hometown because of an incident in the past.
, life even starts over because of it.
Such a blow would be almost devastating for any man.
Xia Tong suddenly asked: "Senior, what do you think if this news can be suppressed or even completely overturned?"
Yi Chu frowned: "Tongtong, what do you want to do?"
"Isn't there an old saying in China, falsehood is also true and truth is also false." Xia Tong smiled slightly: "Senior Yi, I will definitely help you this time."
