Chapter 142 Past Events
"Of course. My mother is a famous beauty in Hai City. She is the best person in the world. I miss her so much..."
Wen Nanxi's voice was a little choked.
She hadn't seen these photos in a long, long time.
Because she dared not look, her longing would swallow her up, and the surging emotions would once again drag her into the abyss.
She was hugged by Fu Ci Yan, and she rarely resisted. She just listened to his heartbeat, and her eyes were filled with uncontrollable longing.
"Fu Ciyan, I've thought more than once, if I hadn't played hide-and-seek with my mother that day, would she have been kidnapped? It was me who killed my mother, it's all my fault..."
She still remembered that day, an ordinary afternoon, He Wanfeng was holding her and teaching her how to use the camera.
He Wanfeng is a very good photographer, and the photos he takes have won many awards.
Wen Nanxi admired her mother very much at that time and pestered her to teach her how to take pictures.
He Wanfeng also doted on her and explained to her in detail how to use the camera and the shooting angles. When things were getting exciting, He Wanfeng suddenly suggested playing hide-and-seek.
She was in a playful mood at that time and hid happily in the cupboard, observing her mother through the crack in the door and even recording it with a camera.
But she only saw her mother being dragged away by someone. She wanted to chase after him, but found that the cabinet door was stuck and she couldn't get out. She was so anxious that she kept calling for her mother.
A man suddenly turned around. He was very ugly and had a long scar on his face. She was so scared that she didn't dare to make a sound.
She never saw her mother again after that.
Fu Ci Yan's heart was twisted into a knot. He could clearly feel the sadness in Wen Nanxi, and that body was trembling all the time.
"No, Nanxi is a very good child. You are never wrong."
He once had a brief understanding of Wen Nanxi's childhood, but it was too long ago and he couldn't find out in such detail.
All we know is that He Wanfeng was kidnapped by kidnappers at home, and Wen Nanxi escaped because he hid in the closet.
In addition to He Wanfeng, Fang Jinying was also kidnapped that day. Wen Mingde only offered the ransom for one person, and he chose Fang Jinying.
He Wanfeng was tortured by the kidnappers for three days before he was rescued by the police. He was no longer recognizable as a human.
On the way to the hospital, the ambulance was caught in a massive traffic accident and missed the best time to rescue.
Wen Mingde felt that He Wanfeng was insulted by the kidnappers and lost the Wen family, so he cremated the body quickly after receiving it.
Wen Nanxi didn't even see her mother for the last time.
The case has been settled. The kidnappers were arrested, one was sentenced to death, and two others were sentenced to life imprisonment.
He gently touched Wen Nanxi's back to comfort her, but the person in his arms burst into tears:
"If I hadn't played hide-and-seek with Mom, maybe it would have been both of us who were taken away that day. Then Mom and I wouldn't have been separated."
"Nanxi, please stop imagining things, okay? Mom definitely wants you to live well."
"But I'm so tired. If possible, I'd rather go with my mother so that I won't be bullied. Fu Ciyan, being beaten hurts so much, being in solitary confinement is so dark, I'm so scared. Why should I live? Why..."
Fu Ci Yan's heart tightened. Ever since she married him, Wen Nanxi had been reluctant to talk about what happened in the past.
This was the first time she mentioned it, but Fu Ci Yan could hear the death in her tone.
She lived for so many years with self-blame and longing. She lost her mother and became an unwanted child, living under someone else's roof, being bullied and insulted.
She will feel that it is her fault and that she failed to protect her mother.
If she had a choice, she might prefer to be kidnapped with He Wanfeng on that day.
Fu Ciyan hugged Wen Nanxi tightly in his arms:
"Just think of it as being for me, okay?"
Wen Nanxi shook her head, tears streaming down her face. "What's so good about you? You hurt me, you bullied me. If my mother were still alive, she would never allow you to do this to me."
Fu Ciyan grabbed her hand and said quickly:
"Then it's just to see the bad guys get their comeuppance, okay?"
Wen Nanxi lowered her head: "But I can't find any evidence. Everything that happened back then has been destroyed. I'm useless. I can't help my mother get revenge..."
"Leave it to me."
His voice was firm. Wen Nanxi raised her head and looked at Fu Ciyan's determined eyes. Her emotions suddenly calmed down a little.
Her mother's death is a hurdle that she will never be able to get over.
She knew that she was closely related to Wen Mingde and Fang Jinying, but she was too young at that time and there was nothing she could do.
When he had the power, all traces were erased.
"If you can really do it, then I can give you another chance."
Fu Ci Yan held Wen Nanxi in his arms, smelling the fragrance of her hair, his emotions overflowing out of control.
"Give me some time, and I will give you a satisfactory explanation."
Wen Nanxi's emotions gradually calmed down. She broke away from Fu Ci Yan's arms and went to look at the photo display wall again.
Fu Ci Yan's arms felt empty. He wanted to hug someone, but he was afraid that Wen Nanxi would be disgusted, so he stood beside Wen Nanxi in a dilemma.
This display wall is very large and has many photos.
In the photos taken before she was four years old, Wen Nanxi was raised like a little princess. She was smiling in every photo, like a little sun.
There are fewer photos after the age of four, mostly of scenery.
She has a photo of herself every year, from her childhood, to her young girlhood, up to the present day.
He was also smiling, but Fu Ci Yan could only see that it was a forced smile.
Wen Nanxi touched the photos:
"I take this photo every year on my mother's death anniversary. I burn it for her because I'm afraid she'll forget me."
Fu Ci Yan felt his heart ache when he heard her slightly trembling voice.
She said to herself:
"Before I was six, I often dreamed of my mother. Later, she rarely appeared in my dreams. I was afraid that when I grew up, she wouldn't recognize me anymore and I would end up looking for the wrong person in my dreams."
She pursed her lips and smiled: "Sure enough, after I burned the photos, my mother often came to me in my dreams."
Fu Ciyan touched her hair and said, "Nanxi is really smart."
Wen Nanxi slapped his hand away coquettishly: "You seem to be treating me like a child."
Fu Ci Yan smiled dotingly and continued to look at her.
The following photos were taken when Wen Nanxi was in college. Her photography skills are getting better and better, and like He Wanfeng, she has won many awards.
There are people, landscapes, and even wild animals.
There are majestic cheetahs and cute little squirrels.
Further back is Fu Ci Yan, there are many, many photos.
They had been married for a year at that time.
"It was only when I got your camera that I realized you had secretly photographed me so many times."
