Chapter 221: She is dead, so lonely
Originally, the Chi family was a well-known family in Beijing.
But fourteen years ago, after their eldest daughter died in a car accident, Chi's father could not accept the blow and suddenly passed away from a heart attack. The Chi family fell into decline in Beijing.
Chi's mother sold most of her property in the city center to support Chi Wanwan's study and life in the United States, while she herself lived in seclusion in the suburbs.
Four years ago, Chi Wanwan committed numerous crimes, but Xiao Xuezheng had always been lenient towards her and let her go again and again, just for the sake of the deceased Chi Zaozao and Chi's mother.
But when she finally plotted to kill his grandfather and almost killed Shi Runrun, Xiao Xuezheng could no longer bear it.
He went to the Chi family and told Chi's mother all the evil consequences of Chi Wanwan's crimes. With her consent, he forcibly sent Chi Wanwan to a mental hospital.
All in all, Chi Wanwan has been locked up in a mental hospital for four years.
Chi's mother lived in the Chi family compound in the western suburbs.
It has been more than ten years since I last came here. Xiao Xue Zheng drove up the small road here in the night. The sycamore trees planted on both sides of the road kept receding as his car moved forward, constantly passing through his eyes.
His thoughts seemed to be transferred back to fourteen years ago in an instant.
At that time, he and she had just been together.
The two of them were secretly dating without telling their families.
During holidays, he would drive here to see her.
She had strict family education since she was young, and her father did not allow her to go out frequently and be with boys.
He could only stand in the garden downstairs of her house, facing her window, and the two of them looked at the king foolishly from a distance.
Occasionally, I would write down what I wanted to say to her on a piece of paper, then soak the paper and throw it into her room.
When she picked up the paper and opened it to see the three words "I miss you" written on it, she would immediately appear at the window, open the window, look at him, and her fair little face would turn red.
The high beams of a car in front suddenly shone over, waking Xiao Xue Zheng from his deep thoughts.
He wiped his handsome face, took a deep breath, sped up, and finally stopped in front of the Chi family compound.
Ding Dong.
He rang the doorbell and Chi's mother came to open the door.
The old woman, who is almost sixty years old, lost two daughters one after another. Most of her hair has turned white and she is in a very bad mood.
"Xuezheng, you're here..."
Mother Chi glanced at him, spoke softly, then turned sideways and welcomed him into the house.
Xiao Xuezheng brought the nourishing products he had prepared for the old woman into the house and nodded towards her. "Aunt Chi, I'm sorry to bother you so late at night."
The two sat down on the sofa in the living room. Chi's mother had prepared tea in advance and brought it to him.
Looking at the steaming tea, Xiao Xue Zheng was a little dazed for a moment.
This tea was my favorite to drink in the past.
He came back to his senses, wiped his handsome face, took a deep breath, looked at Chi's mother's sad expression, hesitated for a while, and was struggling with how to start.
Zao Zao has always been a taboo in everyone's mind. No matter whether it is her or anyone in the Chi family, every time they mention it, they feel a sharp pain in their hearts.
But since he discovered the clues and came here late at night, some questions still need to be clarified.
Even if you can't bear to speak anymore, you have to speak.
Xiao Xuezheng looked at Mother Chi's aged face and sighed as he asked, "Aunt Chi, when she was hit by a truck early that year, she breathed her last in my arms. I watched her leave me with my own eyes, and then I fainted. When I woke up and rushed to the funeral home, you told me she had been sent to the crematorium. Originally, there was nothing worth mentioning about these old things, but recently I discovered..."
Before he could finish his words, Chi's mother interrupted him.
"Xuezheng, you weren't dead back then..."
Xiao Xuezheng's expression suddenly changed, and his pupils shrank sharply: "Aunt Chi, what did you say?!"
A tear fell from the corner of Chi's mother's eye. She wiped her face, trying hard to force the tears back, and sighed, "In fact, it was almost the same as death... Alas... After she was hit by a car, she fainted in your arms due to excessive blood loss. Your grandfather brought people to rescue you, and you were sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. She was rescued at that time, but because of the impact on her head, the doctor said that there was a possibility of her becoming a vegetable. During that time, she woke up once, and she told us with a weak breath that she didn't want you to see her like this. She wanted to leave the hospital, leave here... At that time, our Chi family was still a well-known figure in Beijing. Our daughter had such a big thing, and many reporters and media sneaked into the hospital to take pictures of her. We had no choice but to agree to her request. In order to protect the reputation of our Chi family, we secretly transferred her from the hospital... Who would have thought that on the way to the transfer, the engine of the car exploded halfway, and she died in the explosion..."
Mother Chi choked up as she spoke, tears streaming down her face. "Actually, it's better if she died... If she had lived, she would have been in a vegetative state, a life worse than death... We followed her wishes and kept the truth from you. She said she didn't want to upset you, so we told you that she was cremated at the funeral home a long time ago... In the end, we didn't even find her body..."
As Chi's mother spoke, she could no longer hold back. Her whole body began to tremble and tears streamed down her face.
"Zao Zao... my Zao Zao... she has always been so kind, always willing to help others, and has been doing good deeds since she was young... How could she leave me so early... My daughter... my Zao Zao... It's my fault as a mother for not taking good care of her..."
When Xiao Xue Zheng listened, his heart also ached.
He stood up and walked over, sitting next to Chi's mother. He stretched out his big hand and kept stroking her trembling shoulders.
Xiao Xue Zheng suddenly felt that he shouldn't have come tonight.
For a fabricated photo, he came to this already lonely old woman and said these words to her, which brought back her painful memories.
Fourteen years ago, she lost her eldest daughter Zao Zao, and ten years ago, her second daughter was locked up in a mental hospital by him...
Both of his daughters left this poor old man because of him...
It's his fault...
Xiao Xue Zheng waited until Chi's mother calmed down a little before helping her upstairs and letting her lie on the bed to rest.
When he left, he inadvertently glanced at some bottles and jars on Chi's mother's bedside table.
Xiao Xue Zheng glanced at it inadvertently, and his throat suddenly became blocked.
Those are the drugs for lung cancer...
Xiao Xue Zheng's handsome face turned pale in an instant. He pursed his thin lips, came out of the bedroom quietly, then went downstairs and out the door.
It was already very dark outside.
He watched, quietly lit a cigarette and started smoking.
While smoking, he looked at the starry sky and sighed deeply.
The answer is obvious, the person in the photo is not Zao Zao.
She is already dead...
She didn't die in his arms, but in the car explosion... Her body was blown to pieces, and she died so lonely and pitiful...
