Chapter 121 Divorce Jingjing said she chose her father.
"After that, I thought about divorcing him."
Song Runing spoke quietly. Shen Qingye looked at her and moved her fingers slightly, as if she understood why the divorce did not succeed in the end.
As expected, Song Runing smiled bitterly and said, "I once tried to test Jingjing's thoughts and asked her who she would live with if her parents separated one day."
"She first asked me why we had to separate, and I said it was just hypothetical, assuming that one day, she would choose someone."
"She said without hesitation that she wanted her daddy."
Shen Qingye was silent for a moment.
Song Runing's eyes were bitter: "From that time on, I realized that as a wife, I might not be successful; as a mother, I was a great failure."
Jingjing is her only child, the daughter she gave birth to at great pains. If she and Qu Peiyun really came to the point of divorce, she would definitely keep Jingjing.
But what if she doesn't want to follow her?
Of course, she could find the best lawyer and win custody of Jingjing. But given that she is closer to her father and has clearly chosen her father, will she really be happy if he forcibly takes her away from Qu Peiyun?
Even later...will she hate herself?
Song Runing didn't dare to gamble.
That's why I have been choosing to let it go, and have been hesitating and dragging it on until now.
"So since then, I have been working hard to cultivate the relationship between us as mother and daughter. I try to get off work early every day and eat with her; I try to take as much time as possible to go out with her, including this trip. I was busy for a long time and deliberately set aside some time, thinking that we can spend time together as mother and daughter, so that she can be closer to me..."
Who knew… this would happen.
Song Runing closed his eyes weakly, his expression full of brokenness and trance.
Shen Qingye was silent for a while before asking, "Does Qu Peiyun know that you want a divorce?"
Song Runing shook his head: "Because I was afraid that my mother would worry, I didn't show anything wrong and continued to get along with him as before."
"Was it his idea to travel to this place, or was it your idea?"
Song Runing paused and said hesitantly, "It was my mother who first suggested that we go out and have fun because it's been hot lately... I originally wanted my assistant to find some domestic attractions, but when Qu Peiyun found out, he took the initiative to suggest this place, saying that a friend had been here before and that the scenery was nice and the climate was cool..."
"Although there aren't many attractions here and it's more of a summer getaway, it's just right for Jingjing and I to develop a mother-daughter relationship. Plus, my mom also likes this place, so I agreed..."
Qu Peiyun proposed to come to this place...
Shen Qingye and Yue Lingchuan looked at each other, then asked, "Why did you leave again after you went back at noon today?"
Hearing this, Song Runing perked up his tired face and said, "When I just got back, I wanted to accompany Jingjing to rest for a while, but before I put her to bed, she woke up again. I hadn't been coaxing her for a while when my assistant suddenly called and said that there was a small problem with the project that had been decided before, and wanted to ask for my opinion. I had no choice at the time, Jingjing was always making trouble. After arriving at the scenic spot, I used the excuse of accompanying Jingjing and kept sleeping with my mother. I didn't live with him, and I didn't want to go to his room, so I had to go out and find a teahouse. There was a pavilion in front of the teahouse. There were not many people at that time, and I didn't worry about disturbing others by calling, so I stayed there the whole time."
Shen Qingye frowned subconsciously when he heard this and said, "Your assistant——"
When Song Runing heard this, he immediately understood what she was thinking. He immediately widened his eyes and said without hesitation: "Impossible!"
She met Shen Qingye's doubtful gaze, took a deep breath, and said with determination on her pale face, "I have always kept my family and work very separate. Qu Peiyun has never been involved in my work. He has no chance to bribe my assistant. Moreover, there were traces of the problems that occurred in the project before, and it is not something that Qu Peiyun can easily destroy."
Shen Qingye nodded to indicate that he understood. Yue Lingchuan then asked: "What time did you leave?"
Song Runing thought for a moment and said, "It's probably around one o'clock. I just got back not long ago."
She added, "Oh, yes. I have all the call records on my phone. Xiao Wu, my assistant, left after the first call. It was 1:17."
She took out her cell phone, turned to the contacts page, and handed it to Shen Qingye. A few people looked down and found that it was true. Starting from 1:17, a lot of calls came in one after another. At a glance, there were more than ten calls.
Shen Qingye returned the phone to her and asked, "When will you be back?"
Song Runing said, "I stayed there until about five in the afternoon. I had just finished my work when I saw my mother and Qu Peiyun rushing over and asking me if Jingjing had come to see me. That's when I realized Jingjing was missing, so I hurried back to look for her with them."
Lu Yingzhuo asked, "Then can anyone prove your time in the teahouse pavilion?"
Song Runing paused and thought carefully for a moment: "The store owner was there the whole time, so he should have seen me."
should……
Lu Yingzhuo looked at her for a long while, then stood up first: "Okay, we have understood the basic situation. Thank you for your cooperation."
Song Runing looked at him eagerly: "So... do you have any clues now?"
Lu Yingzhuo paused, and Shen Qingye took over the topic and consoled him: "The case is still under investigation. Once there is any progress, we will inform you immediately."
Song Runing's eyelashes trembled slightly when he heard this: "I understand."
She slowly leaned back on the sofa and whispered, "You must find out who killed my daughter..."
"Please, please find out..."
Lu Yingzhuo lowered his eyes and looked at him, his tone solemn: "Don't worry, we will do our best."
Song Runing raised his eyes to look at them, and only breathed a sigh of relief after watching them leave.
She stared into space for a long time before slowly taking out a wallet from her pocket. In the compartment of the wallet, she found a photo.
It was a rare photo of the mother and daughter together.
Song Runing held the photo in both hands, looking at the little girl's bright smile, his eyes slowly turned red.
She held the photo to her heart and couldn't stop the tears from falling.
Jingjing, Jingjing...
Jingjing...
…
"Song Runing received the call at 1:17 and left immediately. Song's mother also said that the victim went to bed at around 3:00, and there was a two-hour gap in between—"
Lu Yingzhuo tapped his arm with one hand and looked at Yue Lingchuan: "What do you think, Captain Yue?"
"It doesn't matter what I think." Yue Lingchuan looked at the door in front of him with a calm expression: "The key is, what will Qu Peiyun say."
Shen Qingye looked at the door of the room not far from Song Runing, his eyes slightly gloomy.
Their last investigation subject was Qu Peiyun.
