Chapter 284 Take You to Meet Your Mother

Uncle Cheng is a man of culture, and now he writes some articles in a column in a magazine.

Gu Xi remembered that his father often chatted with Uncle Cheng at that time, drinking tea and playing chess together, they were friends with the same interests.

Hearing Uncle Cheng mention this now, Gu Xi also remembered it.

Dad had been to the imperial capital before the accident, and the day of the accident was the second night after he returned to Linhua.

And after her father took her away from Linhua, he also went straight to the imperial capital...

A thought flashed through Gu Xi's mind, her eyes widened slightly, and a guess suddenly popped up.

Could it be that the reason why Dad did those things back then was because of what happened in the imperial capital?
Aunt Cheng listened to Uncle Cheng, thought about it carefully, and nodded: "Yes, if I remember correctly, you two played chess all afternoon when he just returned to Linhua from the imperial capital. The next day he Something happened, what did you say back then, when you were playing chess, you felt that Brother An was a little restless or something."

"It's a little bit." Uncle Cheng also remembered, "At that time, I was thinking that maybe he just came back from the imperial capital, and he was so impetuous that he hadn't settled down yet, so I didn't think much about it..."

"Before, I always thought that the fire was an accident. Now that I know that Brother An did it on purpose, he may have been planning it at that time."

Gu Xi bit his lips, and couldn't help but say: "I asked my father at the time, but he said that his work was kept secret, and he refused to tell me anything... Then he got into a car accident again, and he just..."

She lowered her head and clenched her fists. Aunt Cheng raised her hand and patted her on the back: "Xinxin, forget it, it's all over, so don't think too much about it."

Gu Xi shook his head: "I also want to let the matter go, but I can't figure out so many doubts now, and it's a lump in my heart. Not to mention anything else, the two corpses that replaced us have not been seen until now. a reasonable explanation."

"It's been a long time since the incident, and now few people will go into it, but after all, my dad has been labeled as a murder suspect..."

She looked up and glanced at the second elder of the Cheng family: "Although I don't have any clues yet, I will definitely find out the matter thoroughly. I believe my dad will not be the kind of person who will take other people's lives indiscriminately."

Mother Cheng wanted to persuade her again, but in her opinion, Gu Xi was just a girl after all, and she had too many burdens, so it was inevitable that she would feel pressure in her heart.

But this time, Uncle Cheng was particularly supportive of Gu Xi's decision: "You have been a sensible and obedient child since you were a child, and you still have such correct values, which is enough to show that your father educated you well. If he really No matter who you are, it will definitely affect your temperament."

"The crime of murder is not light." Uncle Cheng looked at her solemnly, "I understand your feelings very well, not to mention you, even I don't believe that Brother An would kill people for no reason, there must be something in the middle that we don't know twists and turns and secrets."

"I'll check for you." Uncle Cheng smiled at her, that smile was kind and comforting, "You have a lot of things to do in the imperial capital now, and you can't get away. I'm retired now. There's nothing wrong, I just went to check what happened back then. If there are any clues, I will notify you in time."

Gu Xi nodded heavily: "Thank you, Uncle Cheng!"

Although a thank you is light, anyone can feel the emotion it carries.

Uncle Cheng smiled and waved at her: "You child, you have always been polite since you were a child."

Mother Cheng held Gu Xi's hand and said, "I just like Xin Xin's down-to-earth and polite personality!"

Cheng Fei has been listening quietly on the sidelines, feeling that his parents have finished talking, so he opened his mouth.

"Mom, I also know that you are happy to see Xinxin, but she is also a guest here today, so you only brought him a glass of water?"

Mother Cheng just remembered something, and suddenly patted her forehead: "Yes, the fruit that was washed just now is still in the kitchen!"

As she said that, she rushed towards the kitchen quickly, and Gu Xi said from behind: "Auntie, don't bother."

But after all, he couldn't stop anyone.

Seeing that the tea in front of Gu Xi was cold, Uncle Cheng changed her to a cup of hot tea: "When you come here, it's the same as your own home, so you don't have to be so polite."

Gu Xi picked up the tea and took a sip, moved towards Uncle Cheng, and asked, "Uncle Cheng, you and my dad were the only ones who knew each other back then, have you ever heard him talk about... thing?"

It was indeed a bit abrupt to ask such a question, but after talking about her father for so long, she couldn't help but want to bring up this question that had been kept in her heart.

As far as she could remember, she had never seen her mother. Every time she asked about this topic, her father would avoid talking about it. Over time, it became a scar on her heart.

If mother and father are divorced, or are no longer alive, father can tell her directly after she is sensible, but father never mentions it.

But if mom is still alive, why haven't she and dad been found for so many years?She really doesn't understand.

After her father passed away, she had no one to ask. Now that she met Uncle Cheng, she was eager to know something.

When Uncle Cheng heard her mentioning this suddenly, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment. He subconsciously took a sip of tea, pondered for a while, and after gathering his thoughts, he said, "I don't know too much about this, but what is certain is that your mother Should still be alive."

Gu Xi slightly opened his eyes wide: "Really?"

"There shouldn't be any mistakes." Aunt Cheng brought out the fruit, heard them chatting, and interjected, "Your father's family conditions, as well as his figure, are very famous among us. Although I have your daughter by my side, there are still many women who want to marry your father."

Auntie Cheng inserted a piece of peeled apple with a fork and handed it to her: "You were young at that time, I saw that your father was single all the time, and it was hard work being both father and mother, so I thought about telling him A matchmaker. At that time, your father told me personally that he had a wife, but they were separated in different places."

"I saw that he didn't have a woman around him for so many years, so I mentioned it to him again. He still said that. It shouldn't be a lie."

Uncle Cheng also nodded: "Your father seldom mentions his personal affairs in front of me, and he doesn't talk about any reason. Since he told your Auntie Cheng that way, it should be true."

When Uncle Cheng said this, he was dazed for a moment, as if he suddenly remembered something, and his speech speed became a little fast: "By the way, I almost forgot if you didn't mention me. It was just the day before the accident. When playing chess with me, I mentioned that you are getting older, and it is time to take you to see your mother."
