I looked at her blankly and asked, "Auntie, what do you mean? I don't quite understand."
Huang Li's mother's mood collapsed instantly. She choked and said to me: "Something happened in our family a while ago. I never dared to tell Lily. I only said that her father went on a business trip abroad. In fact, something happened to him."
Hearing this, I realized something was wrong, and hurriedly took out a tissue from the side and handed it to her, saying, "Auntie, don't cry. Uncle, what's wrong with him?"
Huang Li's mother held the tissue in her hand, sighed and said: "Someone wants to punish him. Now the Discipline Inspection Commission has formed an investigation team in the city. He has gone to seek refuge abroad. Our family is about to be in disaster. Lily doesn't know anything."
, her father also doesn’t want her to get involved.”
After a slight pause, she continued: "So, I beg you to take her away and hide her as long as you can."
I was stunned for a while, and I remember that Huang Li's father is the most upright person I have ever met. He gives people a very down-to-earth feeling, and you won't feel any pressure around him.
What mistake could such a person make?
Huang Li's mother said that someone wanted to punish him, and it must be something related to officialdom.
After a moment of silence, I spoke again: "Are many people aware of this matter?"
Huang Li's mother nodded and replied weakly: "Everyone knows, only Lily doesn't know yet."
She sighed again and continued: "In this society, human relationships are too cold. When you are good, there are people everywhere who want to please you. When you are not good, as long as they hear the wind, everyone will stay away from you. No.
It would be nice to add insult to injury. I know that you and Lily are good friends, and Lily has always been very concerned about you. After thinking about it, I still think that entrusting Lily to you is a wise move."
My heart sank in an instant. At this moment, I seemed to see a building collapsing!
In my silence, Huang Li's mother said to me again: "Xiao Chen, just promise me. I'm begging you. Lily is coming back soon. I just sent her away on purpose."
After taking a few steady breaths, I finally stabilized my rhythm, and then I said, "Auntie, I want to know who fucked my uncle and why? The best way now is definitely not for me to escape with Lily.
He will never feel at ease like this for the rest of his life, and if something really happens to his uncle, Lily will be ruined for her whole life. What I mean is that since someone is deliberately trying to trouble uncle, they can find the source of the conflict and slowly resolve it."
Huang Li's mother shook her head without hesitation and said to me: "Xiao Chen, it's not that I haven't thought about these things. I have also consulted with my elder brother. This matter is very serious. The person who reported Lily's father is powerful.
very powerful"
I answered: "No matter how powerful he is, I believe that uncle has not made any mistakes. Since he has not made any mistakes, why should we be afraid?"
Huang Li's mother sighed again: "Xiao Chen, you don't understand some things in the agency, and I can't explain it to you clearly in one or two sentences. In short, Lily's father is really in trouble this time. Just take Lily away."
, she won’t be involved.”
I suddenly felt a little painful and didn't know how to make a decision. This was indeed a particularly difficult thing for me.
If I agree easily, then Huang Li will definitely ask me why I took her away?
Huang Li is not stupid, she will definitely know the truth, and her character will not leave when the time comes.
After another period of silence, I finally said: "Auntie, it's not that I don't want to promise you, but if I take Lily away like this, she will also become suspicious. When she asks questions, what should I say?"
Huang Li's mother looked at me seriously and said: "I know Lily, you are also the first boy she has brought home. She is interested in you. I have also asked her some things about you.
I know you have been divorced and are single now. If you don’t mind the current situation of our family, I hope you can be with Lily so that she won’t think too much about it.”
After hearing what she said, I was completely stunned.
Seeing my silence, she sighed again and said, "I know I said this without considering your feelings. I was just too anxious. If you don't have that intention for Lily, then I beg you to help me hide it from her for the time being, okay?"
?”
It can be seen that Huang Li's mother is very anxious, her breath is very weak, but every word she speaks is very fast, as if she is afraid that Huang Li will come back suddenly.
I couldn't waste any more time and hurriedly replied: "Auntie, Lily has also helped me a lot. Now that something happened to your family, I won't ignore it. I can promise you first to help you hide Lily, but she
Very smart, this matter can't be hidden for long, we still have to find a way to solve uncle's matter, this is the key point."
Huang Li's mother replied in a deep voice: "Xiao Chen, your mission is to take Lily away. You can't let her get involved because of some things she did outside before. In fact, we all know that once she gets involved, it will be troublesome.
I will find a way to solve her father's problem. I still have some social connections, so don't worry."
I have mixed feelings in my heart. Huang Li's parents are really very kind to her. At this time, they are still thinking about how to protect Huang Li's safety.
And my silence was not because I was afraid that I would be offended, but because I was worried that this matter would become extremely serious. I was even more worried that Huang Li would do something stupid when she learned the truth.
Huang Li helped me a lot, especially with Min Wenbin’s incident last time. If it hadn’t been for her, I might have been dealt with by Min Wenbin.
Now that something happened to Huang Li's family, I will definitely not sit still and wait for death. This is how I am. If others are good to me, I will be twice as good to others.
So I didn't hesitate much. Even if this matter would affect my future life, I would help.
I finally nodded and said to her: "Okay, Auntie, I promise you, I will take Lily away, but I want to get involved in uncle's affairs, and I hope you allow it."
As soon as I finished speaking, the ward door was pushed open. Huang Li's mother was opening her mouth to speak. When she saw Huang Li coming back, she hurriedly closed her mouth again.
Turning around, I saw it was Huang Li walking in with a lunch box in her hand.
I also quickly made room for her, but Huang Li said to me: "Sit down, there are chairs over here."
With that said, she pulled out the chair on the other side of the hospital bed, then opened the lunch box and said to her mother: "Mom, your porridge in the hospital cafeteria is not very good, so I went out to buy it for you."
"Well, I can do it myself."
"Why are you here? Just lie down and let me, your daughter, feed you."
I have never seen such a gentle side of Huang Li. She was sitting beside the hospital bed, holding porridge in one hand and a spoon in the other. She carefully tested the temperature of the porridge before feeding it into her mother's mouth.
The sunlight outside the window fell just on her shoulders, and in the halo created, I suddenly lost my concentration.
In my daze, I kept thinking about what Huang Li's mother said to me just now. I really listened to it, and I really wouldn't sit still and wait for death.
But, how should I communicate with Huang Li?
Is she willing to leave with me? And what reason should I use to ask her to leave with me?
