Chapter 216 I Went To See The Cemetery
I want to know why my mother died!
Xia Yan fell into a long silence. Just when Xia Luobing thought that he would not answer, an old voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
“Bing Bing, I’m sorry for your mother.” Xia Yan suddenly seemed to be ten years old, his eyes filled with regret and guilt. “She is a good woman, I hurt her.”
Xia Luobing did not interrupt Xia Yan. He sat by the side and listened quietly. From his intermittent memories, she slowly restored what happened back then.
Xia Yan and Qi Huiyun were in love at university. After graduation, they married and ran the Xia Corporation together. They lived happily and contentedly, but all of this was completely broken when Wang Xiaoman appeared.
“You said they were best friends?” Xia Luobing’s eyes widened in surprise, her face filled with disbelief. Wang Xiaoman stole her best friend’s husband?
This news shocked Charlotte!
Xia Yan nodded and his aged fingers trembled uncontrollably, “Your mother and Wang Xiaoman have a good relationship. Seeing that she is in trouble, she insisted on placing her in the company.”
“So you guys have a long-term relationship?” Xia Luobing trembled. She could almost imagine her mother’s anger and heartache when she was betrayed by her best friend and beloved man.
Xia Yan shook his head, as if he was in a painful memory. He closed his eyes and leaned on his seat. After a long time, he found his voice and continued, “That’s not true. After Wang Xiaoman entered the company, he worked very hard and won many contracts one after another. Once, when she went with me to socialize, we were all drunk …”
Needless to say, Charlotte also guessed what was going on.
After drinking, Wang Xiaoman was pregnant.
Xia Yan was in a dilemma between the two women.
“How did mother know about this?” Xia Luobing tried to calm himself down and said, “How did she find out?”
Xia Luobing clenched her fingers tightly. Only in this way could she calm herself down.
“Luo Xin has a fever. Your mother heard what Wang Xiaoman told me.”
At this point, things seemed to have been completely sorted out. Qi Huiyun discovered that the truth of the matter was extremely angry and collapsed. Her relationship with Xia Yan had dropped to zero.
“So she committed suicide, right?” Xia Luobing looked at Xia Yan and suddenly felt a lot of pity for the man he had hated for many years.
This time, Xia Yan was silent for a long time before he said with difficulty, “I know I’m sorry to you and Huiyun, so I suggested leaving the house cleanly.”
“You would rather go out clean than stay with Wang Xiaoman?” Xia Luobing suddenly raised his voice, his eyes filled with anger.
Xia Yan shook his head and said, “It’s not what you think. I beg your mother to forgive me, but she accepted me and insisted on divorce. That’s why I offered to clean herself out of the house. Everything was said well, well … She, why, why did she commit suicide …”
He had been puzzled by this question for so many years, but he still couldn’t come up with an answer.
Xia Luobing’s chaotic thoughts suddenly became clear. If Wang Xiaoman knew that her father was going to leave the house, would she still be willing to suffer with him? If she doesn’t want to suffer, then
“Dad, it’s been so many years. Don’t think too much about it.” Xia Luobing slowly said. Looking at Xia Yan, who was hanging down beside him, she couldn’t bear it. “I just wanted to know what happened back then. Don’t mind.”
The man she had hated for many years was old.
Xia Yan waved his hand and smiled bitterly, “Bing Bing, I’m sorry.”
After many years, the father and daughter talked about this matter for the first time. They realized that there were some things that could not be forgotten just by avoiding. Those bloody things really happened, and they could not be erased.
“Dad.” Xia Luobing took the initiative to hold Xia Yan’s hand and smiled brightly. “Today, I’ve figured out what happened back then, and the knot in my heart has been untied.”
Xia Yan’s lips stuttered as he said in a trembling voice, “Good, good!”
Xia Luobing brought Xia Yan home and left without getting off the car. Wang Xiaoman came out from the living room. Seeing that Xia Yan’s expression was not good, his eyes flashed. He took a step forward and asked, “Is something wrong with your body? I see that your expression is not very good.”
“Nothing, I’m a little tired.” Xia Yan waved his hand, ignoring Wang Xiaoman’s question and went straight upstairs.
Hearing the sound of the bedroom door being slammed shut, Wang Xiaoman frowned even more tightly, and a strong sense of unease arose in her heart.
In the evening, Wang Xiaoman carried the cooked bird’s nest upstairs and pushed open the door. Seeing Xia Yan sitting in a daze on the chair in front of the window, she rebuked, “Did you quarrel with Bing Bing? That child’s temper has always been stubborn. Don’t be so stubborn with her. Luo Xin should be back soon. She is …”
“Alright!” Xia Yan waved his hand impatiently, his expression not very good, “Ice is pretty good.”
Why hadn’t he noticed that Wang Xiaoman liked to talk about ice before?
Wang Xiaoman was stunned for a moment. She didn’t understand what Xia Yan meant, but after all, she had lived with Xia Yan for so many years. Her brain spun and she quickly smiled, “Didn’t I see that you were unhappy? What exactly happened?”
Xia Yan turned to look at Wang Xiaoman and said after a while, “I went to see Huiyun.”
“Bang!”
The tray in Wang Xiaoman’s hand fell onto the floor. The sweet bird’s nest was sprinkled on the floor. This name had disappeared from her life for many years. How could it suddenly appear?
Xia Yan frowned and looked at Wang Xiaoman, “What’s wrong with you?”
“I, I” Wang Xiaoman’s heart was in a panic. She, who had always been sharp-tongued, was unable to utter a complete sentence. After a long time, she purposely sighed and said, “It’s not you! I’ve been holding it for so long, and my hands are sore.”
Xia Yan looked at Wang Xiaoman and said indifferently, “Let the servants come in and clean up.”
“I see.” Wang Xiaoman smiled and said calmly, “Why do you remember to visit Huiyun today?”
Xia Yan looked at Wang Xiaoman and didn’t say anything. He continued to stare at the dark night. The more he was like this, the more uneasy Wang Xiaoman felt. He always felt that danger was approaching her bit by bit and approaching her.
“I’m a little tired. I want to be alone for a while.” Xia Yan said indifferently, “You can leave first.”
Wang Xiaoman let out a “yes” sound. When she turned around and left, her eyes were filled with unease. However, seeing that Xia Yan had no reaction, she clenched her fingers and felt uneasy in her heart.
By the time Charlotte returned home, Huo Yunqi had already prepared dinner.
“Bing Bing, you’re not in good spirits.” Huo Yunqi frowned and said, “What happened?”
Xia Luobing shook her head and threw the bag and the car keys aside. She went straight over and hugged Huo Yunqi’s waist. She buried her head in his chest and listened to the powerful heartbeat. The unease that filled every cell in her body gradually eased.
“Nothing, I just miss you very much.” Xia Luobing muttered. The always stubborn and strong woman showed a weak kitten that had suffered grievances. “Huo Yunqi, thank you for being by my side.”
She had gone through so many tribulations with him, and it was not easy for her to be together now.
“Idiot!” Huo Yunqi rebuked, gently stroking Xia Luobing’s back and whispering, “Bing Bing, I will always be by your side.”
Charlotte sniffed and nodded, “I know.”
The night was warm, and the two of them snuggled up to each other for warmth, giving each other comfort and courage.
“Gu Gu!”
Xia Luobing’s stomach sang the Empty City Plan in a very useless manner. She made a big red face and pushed Huo Yunqi away awkwardly. “I’m hungry.”
Huo Yunqi smiled and held Xia Luobing’s hand, “Let’s go eat now.”
The table was filled with Xia Luobing’s favorite dishes, crystal shrimp dumplings, vegetarian fried celery and a pot of fragrant fish soup.
“You made it?” Charlotte’s eyes widened in disbelief.
She had never known that Yunqi Huo’s cooking skills could be so good!
Huo Yunqi raised his eyebrows happily and brought a bowl of soup to Xia Luobing, “Have a taste.”
Although that was the case, from the corner of his curved lips, he knew that this person was quite confident in his culinary skills.
Xia Luobing said she was frightened, picked up the spoon and tasted it. He smiled and narrowed her eyes, “You definitely didn’t do it!”
Such delicious fish soup was not inferior to a hotel chef. How could such a domineering and arrogant president like Huo Yunqi be able to cook it?
“Looks like it tastes good?” Huo Yunqi smiled and said, “The results of the first time were not bad.”
“Pu!”
Xia Luobing scanned Huo Yunqi’s expression suspiciously, wanting to find traces of him lying from this man’s body. However, she looked and looked, looking and searching, and the serious expression on his face was proof of his seriousness.
“Really, did you do this?” Xia Luobing stammered, the corner of her mouth twitching, showing that she found it hard to accept the fact.
In this world, there was always a kind of person who wanted to attack others, and Huo Yunqi was even more outstanding.
Huo Yunqi placed the dishes on a plate in front of Charlotte and said, “Try this.”
“Kacha!”
Xia Luobing took a bite of celery, and the fragrance lingered in his mouth, causing his appetite to rise.
“Did you hire a chef from a five-star hotel to teach you?” This was the only possibility that Charlotte could come up with.
Back then, in order to make her daughter eat more comfortably, she had paid a high price to sign up for a cooking class. However, because she often went out on missions and was always absent from class, her current cooking skills could only be considered as an entrance. Compared to Huo Yunqi’s, it was completely different.
“I searched the Internet for a while, but I didn’t expect it to be good.” Huo Yunqi curved his lips happily, and a humble expression appeared in Xia Luobing’s eyes. It was showing off, showing off the red fruits.
Xia Luobing felt really bad. He lowered his head and ate the food Yunqi was sitting on. He sighed in his heart and had to admit that his cooking skills were really good.
“Ice?” Huo Yunqi laughed, “Eat rice.”
Xia Luobing scanned Huo Yunqi’s expression suspiciously, wanting to find traces of him lying from this man’s body. However, she looked and looked, looking and searching, and the serious expression on his face was proof of his seriousness.
“Really, did you do this?” Xia Luobing stammered, the corner of her mouth twitching, showing that she found it hard to accept the fact.
In this world, there was always a kind of person who wanted to attack others, and Huo Yunqi was even more outstanding.
Huo Yunqi placed the dishes on a plate in front of Charlotte and said, “Try this.”
“Kacha!”
