Chapter 250: Investigate the Cause of Death]
"I was thinking about going to Jiangcheng with you this time, but two days ago..."
Huo Qingchi sighed softly, "My second aunt died."
"Second aunt?"
Ye Qingyue was stunned for a moment and did not react for a while.
After two seconds, she said: "I remember your father has a younger brother..."
Huo Qingchi nodded and said: "Yes, that's my second uncle's wife."
"Is that so..."
Ye Qingyue is not familiar with Huo Qingchi's second uncle.
During Huo Qingchi's hospitalization, his second uncle only came at the beginning.
Although Ye Qingyue saw him once or twice, he did not have the opportunity to talk.
And his second aunt, he was not seen from beginning to end.
It is also possible that she came, but Ye Qingyue was too busy and did not meet her.
In his previous life, Huo Qingchi hardly mentioned his family.
Ye Qingyue's family situation is complicated and he doesn't like to talk to others.
Seeing Huo Qingchi like this, Ye Qingyue put herself in his shoes and did not pry into her friend's secrets.
This led to her knowing nothing about Huo Qingchi's family situation.
Now hearing that Huo Qingchi's aunt had died, Ye Qingyue didn't know how she could help.
But, she felt inexplicably uneasy.
Ye Qingyue couldn't help but ask, "How did your aunt... die?"
In her previous life, Huo Qingchi didn't mention his family affairs, and Ye Qingyue thought that his family was not good and it was inconvenient to tell outsiders.
But during the time when Huo Qingchi was injured and hospitalized, Ye Qingyue came into contact with the Huo family and felt that everyone was a good person.
Not only were they good to Huo Qingchi, they were also very caring towards her as an outsider.
Huo Qingchi also talked to her about family matters from time to time.
It was completely different from the reaction of deliberately avoiding it in her previous life.
Ye Qingyue thought that her relationship with Huo Qingchi had changed in this life, so Huo Qingchi told her all this.
But when she heard the news of Huo Qingchi's aunt's death, she couldn't help but think more.
Huo Qingchi didn't mention the Huo family in his previous life, could it be that...
he couldn't mention it?
Just like her, everyone in her family died, and mentioning it would only make people sad and leave the listener speechless.
"The death of the second aunt was an accident."
Huo Qingchi said: "She had a quarrel with my second uncle, and she ran out in anger. As a result, she crossed the road and was hit by a car. Although my second uncle arrived in time and sent people to the hospital, the second aunt died after a few hours..."
When Huo Qingchi heard the news for the first time, he couldn't believe it.
A living person who had just made an appointment to have a dinner party at the old house suddenly died unexpectedly. Life and death are really unpredictable.
"My family has been busy preparing for my second aunt's funeral these days, so it's not convenient for me to go far away."
Something happened to Huo Qingchi's family. If he left at this time for the sake of his son's love, not to mention how his family would look at him, it would first be bad for Ye Qingyue's reputation.
After consideration, Huo Qingchi went to Ye Qingyue's house to explain the whole story to avoid any misunderstanding between the two.
"Before my second aunt died, she called my cousin to the hospital and talked for a long time. In the end, she died in front of my cousin... He is in a very bad condition now. He always comes to my house to find me. He looks absent-minded. My cousin and I have a good relationship. Now that I see him like this, I can't just leave him alone."
Huo Qingchi said, "I'm sorry, I can't accompany you back to Jiangcheng this time."
"What's there to be sorry about? We didn't agree to go back to Jiangcheng together."
Ye Qingyue stretched out her hand to warm Huo Qingchi's face. She said, "I'm very happy that you came to tell me specially."
Huo Qingchi did this because he took her to heart and considered her in everything.
Her man's attitude was so upright, so Ye Qingyue would never get stuck in such a matter.
"You go back to Jiangcheng to handle your work. If you encounter any trouble, you can send me a telegram. Even if I can't go, I will send someone to Jiangcheng to help."
After Huo Qingchi gave some instructions, he was about to go back .
The family has recently been preparing for a funeral. Second uncle Huo Zhengguang and cousin Huo Ze are in very poor condition and cannot preside over it.
Old Mrs. Huo and Old Man Huo are old, and it is even more impossible for the family to let them worry about it.
In the end, this matter fell to Huo Qingchi's family. He couldn't bear to have his parents' colleagues busy at work, so he has been busy these days.
It was not easy to squeeze out time to come and see Ye Qingyue.
"Qingchi."
Just after taking two steps, Ye Qingyue's voice came from behind, and her hand was also pulled.
"Huh?" Huo Qingchi looked at her doubtfully, but saw that Ye Qingyue's expression was a little serious.
"I... feel a little uneasy."
Ye Qingyue said, "You have to be careful recently, not only you, but also your family members. Be careful."
She didn't know what happened in the Huo family's previous life, and she didn't know how to remind Huo Qingchi at this moment, so she could only say such vague words.
"Be careful?"
Huo Qingchi was puzzled. The death of the second aunt was just an accident. Why did Ye Qingyue say that?
However, since Ye Qingyue was so serious, he still took this matter to heart.
Huo Qingchi said, "After I finish the funeral of the second aunt, I will find out the cause of her death."
Seeing that he listened to her words, Ye Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Well, if there is anything strange, tell me."
She was also very curious about what happened in the Huo family in the previous life that caused Huo Qingchi to never mention the family again.
Ye Qingyue's intuition told her that she must not ignore this matter and must take it seriously!
"Yeah."
Huo Qingchi suddenly said: "I originally planned to take a few days off and take you home for dinner. My parents and grandparents are also looking forward to it... It seems that this matter needs to be delayed."
"What's the hurry?"
Ye Qingyue also knew the regret in his heart, "We still have a lot of time."
These words seemed to be a reassurance.
A faint smile appeared on Huo Qingchi's face. Before he left, he couldn't help but hugged Ye Qingyue tightly, and then he left, looking back every few steps.
Ye Qingyue returned home after she could no longer see Huo Qingchi.
After dinner in the evening, the family quickly packed their luggage for Jiangcheng before it got dark.
At noon the next day, they got on the car prepared by the Jiang family and headed to the railway station.
The tickets were obtained by Zhang Shurong through her connections. They were all sleeper berths, so the family didn't have to sit on the hard seats for so long that their buttocks hurt.
But traveling long distances these days is still a torment.
Fortunately, in the past six months, Ye Qingyue has paid attention to taking care of the health of the family.
When they arrived in Jiangcheng, the family didn't feel uncomfortable except for being sleepy and tired. Ye Qingyue and her friends
