"Did I say that?" Mr. Li's majestic and domineering air instantly faded from his body, and his eyes were dull. He had no time to think too much about whether her words were true or false, so he only said, "I finally mentioned her?"
finally?
Did he really want to mention that Su Yan? He buried the secret so much that even the servants closest to him didn't know.
Gu Xiaoai was about to ask, but Mr. Li seemed to have already opened the page and walked forward slowly, "Little wild cat, please help me remember that after I die, what will be in that room for you?"
You must burn them all for me on my tomb."
"What's in the room?"
"Here's the key..." Old Li took out a pendant from his jacket pocket with trembling hands and handed it to her.
Gu Xiaoai was stunned. It happened to be the key she had secretly printed the key mold on before. It was the locked room. Sure enough, there was a secret that Mr. Li valued highly?
but why……
"Why are you entrusting such an important matter to me?" Gu Xiaoai looked at the key on the pendant in a daze.
He had just heard her mention Su Yan and was so angry that he wanted to beat her, but now he took the initiative to hand over the key to her.
Mr. Li's eyes were a little glazed over, "I will forget..."
This sentence has a sense of helplessness to it, and it sounds very sad.
A man who has been prospering in the European financial market for decades, in his old age, even the basic memory is gone...
Gu Xiaoai helped Mr. Li sit on the bench in the garden, and took a piece of his favorite mint cake from the snacks on the garden table to him, "I heard before that you like to eat mint cake."
Gu Xiaoai's current gentle attitude made Mr. Li very satisfied.
"Yes, I used to like food..."
Old Li stretched out his hand to take it.
Gu Xiaoai saw the servant standing behind Mr. Li and waving his hands desperately to her. Then Gu Xiaoai remembered that Mr. Li's stomach was no longer suitable for eating such cakes and he could only eat liquid food.
"I'll cook mint porridge for you later, okay?" Gu Xiaoai quickly took the mint cake from his hand.
"You wild cat..." Old Li looked at her dissatisfied, "How can porridge be compared with pastries?"
Gu Xiaoai simply stuffed the mint cake into her mouth and ate it cleanly. Old Li's eyes froze for a moment, and the next second he said slowly and authentically, "Su Yan also likes to eat mint cake."
"Who is Su Yan?" Gu Xiaoai followed the clues and asked.
"She? She is a beautiful woman..." Mr. Li looked into the distance, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were deep and full of vicissitudes of life, "I... was the first person to kill."
"What?" Gu Xiaoai's eyes widened in shock, and she stood up from the bench, her whole body stunned.
Su Yan was the first person he killed?
"Are you surprised?" Mr. Li's eyes were stagnant, looking into the distance without focus, but he was talking to her.
"I thought...she was the woman you loved deeply."
Gu Xiaoai said blankly, maybe it was one of his relatives, how could it be the person he killed?
"She is the only woman I have ever loved." Mr. Li was immersed in his memories, his voice filled with age.
"..."
He killed the only woman he ever loved?!
"I don't know if it's because of my illness or my age. I don't remember anything about the past two days, but I remember clearly what happened when I was young." Mr. Li sighed and put his hands on the crutches. "Maybe in a few days, I will
Even Su Yan has forgotten..."
…
Mr. Li's speech is now incoherent and he cannot finish talking about some things in order. He is completely immersed in his own thinking, and he is not talking about what he is talking about.
