What truly shocked Song Qing was the information that followed, and a woman named Fang Ru came into her view.
However, these things were not related to the Chen family's case, so she did not investigate them in detail until a year later when the Chen family's case was overturned.
"Song Qing"
Song Qing thought that Chen Yushu was coming to see her, but she didn't expect that Chen Yuqi, who had never appeared before, would come instead.
Time flies; from 1966 to 1978, a full 12 years have passed.
"Thank you for helping us."
"...No need to thank me. I was just helping you collect information. I wasn't the one who did the real work."
The two looked at each other for a long time before Chen Yuqi began to thank him.
They met at birth and fell in love in their youth; no one could have imagined how things would turn out.
The two were like childhood playmates; once they started talking, they went on and on, bringing up all the people in their memories.
Xiao Shu had mentioned before that her brother wasn't doing well, but Chen Yuqi, who was sitting in front of her now, was still very thin, but he smiled calmly.
The two of them probably knew something about each other's experiences, and Song Qing assumed that they had both tacitly chosen not to speak.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yuqi still asked, "I heard you later married Lu Yang?"
At that time, her marriage with Lu Yang was not going well; they were separated by distance, and even if she wanted to, she couldn't find an opportunity to break out of their predicament.
But she didn't plan to tell Chen Yuqi.
"Yes, my daughter is 9 years old this year."
“I brought her a gift and told her it was from her uncle.”
Both of them couldn't help but laugh. Song Qing thought today would be a reunion after many years, and they would chat about their experiences over the years. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a farewell.
"I'm going to America, and I probably won't be coming back."
Song Qing was shocked, but upon reflection, it was understandable.
His father did not survive the injustice, and his mother was in poor health; there are many unpleasant memories associated with this place.
“My mother said that someone deliberately framed us, but we not only have no evidence, but there may be other consequences if we investigate.”
The parents' friends told them not to pursue the matter any further, and most importantly, the mother was tired and just wanted to leave.
Song Qing hadn't expected there to be a hidden story behind what happened back then. Chen Yuqi smiled, having already let go of the matter.
"You should have seen my file."
There were many things he didn't even want to tell his mother, but looking at Song Qing, he still chose to tell her.
To survive and to make her younger sister's life better, Chen Yuqi did many things she couldn't accept.
This is related to a woman named Fang Ru.
Chen Yuqi had despised himself countless times. Although he was indeed threatened and even drugged by Fang Ru at the beginning, did he really have no chance to get rid of her later?
Perhaps so, but at that time he was reckless and even harbored a desire for revenge against her.
None of us are good people. Since we've messed with him, we can't expect to have an easy time.
He allowed himself to remain trapped in that unhealthy relationship until Fang Ru's fiancé discovered it.
Chen Yuqi knew she wasn't human, and she would accept being killed by that man.
But no, the man just sneered and left.
"Of course, the matter is not over yet. His uncle is my factory manager."
He was also his mentor's superior.
That person investigated his background thoroughly and threatened Chen Yuqi, saying that if he didn't do as he was told, he wouldn't let his mother, sister, and master off the hook.
"..."
Song Qing covered her mouth in surprise, unable to believe what she was hearing.
"Do you think I'm disgusting? I'm sorry for turning your childhood friend into what she is now."
Song Qing didn't know how to answer, so Chen Yuqi continued talking to himself.
Yang Hua is capable and assertive, and holds a position in the factory, but she has also offended many people. Tang Yuan's uncle, Tang Lu, is also dissatisfied with her, feeling that this deputy factory director threatens his position.
However, she had many clients, so even Tang Lu had to treat her with respect.
Tang Yuan used Chen Yuqi to cause Yang Hua a lot of trouble, but it never seriously damaged him because Chen Yuqi was always mediating between them.
"Chen Yuqi, do you think you're so capable, fooling me time and time again?"
Tang Yuan scrutinized Chen Yuqi with a livid face. He had never taken this man seriously, who had nothing but his looks, but he never expected that this man would cheat on him.
Chen Yuqi wanted to get out of his current predicament. His mentor had been kind to him, and he didn't want to drag her down with him.
"I did everything you said."
"Heh," Tang Yuan sneered. He wasn't stupid.
"And then?"
After the initial shock, Song Qing became curious about what would happen next.
Chen Yuqi gave a wry smile.
In the end, Tang Yuan became enraged and kidnapped Xiao Shu to threaten him. At that time, his mother had just sent him a letter informing him that his father had passed away.
Chen Yuqi didn't want his sister to be in danger because of him, and he was helpless in the face of the predicament. He could only think that at worst, they would both perish.
Xiao Shu's classmate, who is also her master's youngest son, discovers that she is missing and finds out that Tang Yuan took her away.
He later accidentally killed Tang Yuan.
Tang Lu had no sons, so he raised this nephew as his own son. After Tang Yuan died, he directed all his anger at Yang Hua.
He and Fang Tianhai devised a scheme, and the story ended with Yang Hua losing his youngest son and being imprisoned for embezzlement.
After that, Chen Yuqi was plunged into endless regret. Although he later made Tang Lu and Fang Tianhai pay the price, he was still unable to bring his master's son back.
He owes his master a life.
Seeing how much pain he was in, Song Qing did not ask about Fang Ru's fate.
Whether you ask or not is not important.
“If my master hadn’t met me, none of the subsequent events would have happened. In fact, if I hadn’t been so indecisive and gotten myself into trouble, I wouldn’t have dragged her down with me.”
After Yang Hua was released from prison, she moved away from that place with her husband and eldest son, and never saw Chen Yuqi again.
After those ten years, Xiao Shu continued to actively search for a path.
“I never expected her to find you, and I never expected you would be willing to help us.”
