Chapter 53

"Speak."

Wen Hongjuan's eyes were flushed, and her body subconsciously turned more towards Tan Li and Ying Heng.

Tong Jing, who had no intention of eavesdropping but heard everything clearly, had not yet recovered from the shock of Tan Li's unfortunate childhood. When she heard Ying Heng say there was another version, her mouth opened involuntarily.

But Tan Li, the person involved, was calmer than them.

Seeing that Tan Li wanted to listen, Ying Heng continued, "When the woman was young, she lived in the village. She had a little sister who was two years younger than her. But the little sister died in the mountains when she was very young because she went to play in the mountains with a boy."

"The villagers investigated and said it was an unfortunate accident because the boy was also injured and broke his leg."

"But the woman didn't believe it because she heard from her little sister that the little brother always touched her and she didn't like playing with the little brother."

"Later, the boy's family moved out of the village and went to the city, and the woman grew up slowly."

"Because of the accidental death of the little sister, the woman's parents quarreled for more than ten years and finally divorced. The woman followed her mother and went to the city."

"Many years later, the woman met a man through a blind date. He was an editor of a literary magazine. He looked gentle and elegant. The two got along well and got married naturally."

The background of this time was very long, but it finally took a turn.

"After marriage," Ying Heng paused, "the woman accidentally discovered that her husband was the boy who went up the mountain with her little sister that year."

"The woman designed to get her husband drunk and learned the truth about her little sister's death. It was the man who forced her little sister to go up the mountain, bullied her and then threw her in the mountain."

"In fact, everyone in the village knew it at the time, even the woman's parents knew it, but the other party paid a large amount of compensation, and their family was on good terms with the village chief's family, so the case was finally closed unexpectedly."

"The woman wanted to take revenge on the man, but the man was a beast in human clothing and hid it very well."

"But after all, they lived together for a long time, and the woman still discovered the man's hobbies in that area, so-"

Ying Heng's eyes were full of disdain, as if he felt that these words dirty his mouth, "she suggested adopting a girl from an orphanage."

"After the adoption, she treated the adopted daughter coldly in private, forcing the adopted daughter, who longed for family affection

, to seek the embrace of family affection from the man." "Under her indulgence, the man's eyes on the adopted daughter became more and more explicit, and then the woman pretended to be on a business trip to leave the man and the girl alone."

I don't know if it was because he said too much in one breath, Ying Heng's voice was a little hoarse and he stopped.

But even if he didn't say it, the next story would be self-evident.

"Impossible!" Wen Hongjuan stood up suddenly, "Weng Xue is not that kind of person!"

She walked quickly to Tan Li, "Weng Xue saved you from that scumbag and didn't let him cause any real harm. Over the years, she has always felt guilty for not taking good care of you."

"If she really didn't have the financial ability to take care of you, she wouldn't have sent you back."

"But even so, Weng Xue would prepare birthday gifts for you every year, and she also funded your tuition and fees over the years."

Not sure if she wanted to convince Tan Li or herself, she kept saying, "Weng Xue is not that kind of person! Weng Xue is not that kind of person!"

... Weng Xue?

Tong Jing looked at Tan Li in surprise. Wasn't the letter she received before sent by someone named Weng Xue?

Compared to Wen Hongjuan, Tong Jing is of course more willing to believe Ying Heng's words.

Ying Heng would not speak without a purpose. The fact that he can say these words now proves that he has evidence in his hands.

Tong Jing simply couldn't believe that such a woman who used a 5-year-old child as bait would actually keep Tan Li in her heart all these years as Wen Hongjuan said.

She looked at Tan Li uneasily.

After listening to Ying Heng's words, Tan Li also remembered some things a little.

It's not her previous memory, after all, it was too long ago.

But it's-

the book of life in the main god space.

The book of life is a thick stack, recording all the tracks that originally belonged to Tan Li, from birth to death, as well as all people and things related to her.

Tan Li had read the whole book at that time, but for her at that time, the past was already past. After she returned to the real world, she returned to the node before she entered the infinite flow world.

She couldn't go back to the past and change history, so Tan Li just glanced over the part about the past and read it very perfunctorily.

Now, after being reminded by Ying Heng, Tan Li vaguely remembered the records in the Book of Life.

Both versions told by Ying Heng were facts, but I don't know if it was deliberately beautified or it was so long ago that he could only find these. Compared with the truth, Ying Heng's story is still much more implicit.

The truth is even more cruel than he said.

The man attacked the little girl at a young age and escaped legal sanctions by using the power in his family. Because he had the support of his permissive parents, the devil in his heart became more and more rampant.

As time passed, he also learned to disguise himself.

He disguises himself as a good and well-educated person, making the world think that he is a good person.

He will pick people, usually those from poor families or those who do not value girls. Those little girls lack love, and many of them are hurt by his sweet words without knowing it.

Even if they know that they are being bullied, their upbringing environment will only tell them that it is their fault, that they do not respect themselves, and that they seduced others.

In the end, the perpetrators are well-dressed, but the victims are oppressed by the shackles called shame.

In the worst case, the man only needs to pay a little money to turn the relatives of these girls into accomplices in hiding the evidence.

Marrying Weng Xue is just part of his disguise.

As for Weng Xue, according to Ying Heng's investigation, she was a cruel woman who wanted to avenge her younger sister, but in the book of life, she was not.

She did have a younger sister who was two years younger than her, and this sister did die because of a man.

But...

after the death of her younger sister, her parents quarreled all day long. Her father took the compensation money given by the man's family and went out to find a mistress, hoping to have another son. Her mother even hated Weng Xue, who was still alive, in her resentment day by day.

"Why are you fine, but your sister is gone?"

"Why didn't you take care of your sister and let her go with someone else?"

"Why can't you please your father because you are not a boy?"

Day after day, Weng Xue's sadness over her sister's death turned into resentment.

She only felt that her sister's death was a relief, and her parents would often praise her for her goodness, but she had to face the hell of being unloved by her father and mother.

Later, her parents divorced, and her mother took her to the city.

At that time, her mother had slowly come out of her sister's death, and even told Weng Xue that they would live a good life together in the future, but her harsh words were deeply imprinted in Weng Xue's

heart.

Like a thorn that could not be removed.

It was getting deeper and deeper.

Later, when she grew up, Weng Xue became a primary school teacher through her own efforts. At that time, being a primary school teacher was such a great thing.

Weng Xue became a hot candidate in the blind date market.

She chose the most gentle and decent person among the blind date candidates as her husband, thinking that her miserable life would finally be on the right track.

But what she didn't know was that fate didn't intend to let her go.

Once, she and her husband went to her husband's house and accidentally discovered the truth of the matter. Weng Xue almost collapsed.

It wasn't because her husband was the real murderer who had killed her little sister, but why did she have to know the truth today?

If possible, she would rather not know these things for the rest of her life.

Weng Xue did the same thing. She pretended to know nothing and continued to be a gentle and considerate wife of a man.

It was not known whether she was too successful or failed, but the man had discovered the truth that Weng Xue knew all about his special fetish.

And then -

it got worse.

Weng Xue would not only not stop him, but would help him cover it up.

She was simply the best and most suitable wife in the world.

Weng Xue thought she could continue pretending.

But -

she saw it.

She saw the look in her husband's eyes when he looked at those little girls, a heat that he had never shown when looking at her.

Weng Xue herself could not believe that she actually felt jealous of those little girls.

That was her husband, the husband she had carefully selected for her future beautiful life!

Weng Xue went crazy in silence and awareness.

As the man spent more and more time with her, he trusted Weng Xue more and more. In his opinion, Weng Xue had become like his parents, a tamed sheep who would unconditionally indulge him, help him, and protect him.

At this time, when Weng Xue proposed to adopt a girl from the orphanage, the man just thought that Weng Xue was trying to please him and accepted it excitedly.

Weng Xue, like she did every time before, sensibly left space for the man and the adopted girl.

When the man finally couldn't help but make a move on the beautiful adopted girl, Weng Xue called the police and caught the man in the act.

He destroyed the beautiful future he dreamed of, and she wanted to destroy him too.

From beginning to end, Xiao Tanli was just a sacrifice between these two lunatics.

Seeing that Tan Li looked indifferent and Wen Hongjuan was still repeating "impossible", Ying Heng could not help getting annoyed.

"Enough!" he said in a deep voice, "It is not up to you to decide whether it is true or not."

"Even if she regrets it later, the compensation cannot make up for the damage she has caused."

Wen Hongjuan was overwhelmed by his aura and was speechless for a while.

Tong Jing also came to her senses at this time, walked to Tan Li, and asked in a low voice, "Boss, what about that letter?"

At first she thought it was written by Tan Li's former friend, but she didn't expect it to be written by Tan Li's former adoptive mother.

Although Weng Xue seemed very pitiful and did these things because of her little sister, it seemed that they had a deep sisterly love, but no matter what, taking advantage of a 5-year-old child was something that no one could condone.

What's more, that 5-year-old child is her current boss Tan Li!

Tan Li came out of the memories of the Book of Life, and when she heard Tong Jing's question, she replied, "I don't know. I don't even remember such a person."

Tong Jing was still full of righteousness the second before, thinking that with Tan Li's current status and position, it would be very easy to use some means to make Weng Xue suffer a little punishment.

But the next second, after hearing Tan Li's words, Tong Jing was a little confused again.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Tan Li shrugged, "How could I remember something that happened so long ago."

"I didn't come here for that name," she said calmly as if she had listened to someone else's story, "I just came here because I thought I could do some charity work in the orphanage."

The point is to spend money.

She finally figured out a way to spend the money, which was not easy.
