Chapter 320
Lao Yang sighed, and said: "I hope so. If you are disappointed after having hope, it is better not to have hope, so as not to spread your anger on us."
In the old house of the Xiao family, Xiao Qing kept checking the time, and she was getting impatient.Sitting peacefully on the sofa with eyes closed, Xiao Bei said, "Let's contact those two bodyguards? Lisa must know their phone numbers. What's going on, Dao hasn't come back yet..."
"Do you really expect them to bring back any useful news?" Xiao Bei said without raising his eyes.
"you……"
"You probably thought that they might be able to bring Shen Mo back directly?" Xiao Bei said again.
Xiao Qing was furious, seeing Xiao Bei sitting there calmly talking sarcastic words, she almost went crazy.In order to prove that his expectations were justified, he said, "They have guns in their hands!"
"You think Wu Tian and the others don't have them?" Xiao Bei said.
Seeing Xiao Bei's understatement, Xiao Qing became more and more anxious.But I know, it's useless to quarrel with Xiao Bei now, it's better to wait quietly.
Moreover, she also knew that Ah Bei was not in a hurry.
All of Ah Bei's anxiety is hidden in his heart, and he will not show it easily.And in the future, there will be more things that he needs to shoulder.
She doesn't know how strong a person's heart can bear, she doesn't know how many things a person can hold in his heart, she only knows that for her brother, even the difficult things in the world are on him He will definitely not let him show any weakness.
Xiao Qing didn't say anything anymore, so Xiao Bei naturally didn't say anything.In this way, the house became quiet again.Suddenly the phone rang, it was a landline.
Xiao Qing rushed forward and picked up the receiver.
And she saw that at the same time she rushed up, Xiao Bei also jumped up.
He was so calm on his face and spoke so calmly, but when the phone rang, he was more anxious than anyone else.
"Miss, we are back. I wonder if it is convenient for Fang to report to you and the young master in person?" Old Yang said.
Upon hearing such a heavy voice, Xiao Qing's heart sank.If there is something to gain, the voice on the other end of the phone must be very cheerful.
"Come in." Xiao Qing said.
"Dong dong dong..." There was a knock on the door.
Lisa went to open the door, and two bodyguards walked in dejectedly.
"Miss, young master, the matter is not done..." the old Duan said.
Xiao Bei didn't even raise his eyes, as if all of this was within his expectations.But Xiao Qing knew that in fact, he also had hope in his heart.
"It doesn't matter, this matter is not easy to handle, and the old horse still stumbles." Fearing that Xiao Bei would get mad, Xiao Qing had already said the words to smooth things over, "What exactly is going on? Sit down and talk."
Where would the two bodyguards dare to sit?Still standing, he chased him out from the funeral home until he just entered the door, and told the whole story.
Still feeling a little guilty, he lowered his head and said, "Young Master, please fire us."
Xiao Bei waved his hand, looking a little tired, and said, "Stop rambling, go down."
"few……"
Xiao Qing hurriedly gave them a wink, which means that they have received a pardon, why don't they go down soon?Isn't it obvious that there is no need to be punished?
The two bodyguards responded and went down as if fleeing for their lives.
After going out, both of them felt quite relaxed.
"Let me just say, the young master is not a person who doesn't know right from wrong." Old Yang said.
Xiao Liu also laughed and said: "It's just that this matter didn't work out, and I still feel a little sorry for our Xiao family."
It's just that they also know that there is no way to do this.Who is to say that the opponent's means are so clever in this matter?The whole process is more meticulous and thrilling than those shot in Hong Kong police and gangster movies.
"What should I do?" Hearing the other party's meticulous arrangement, Xiao Qing was a little panicked.
Although Xiao Qing didn't intervene in the family business, she had heard about this Wu Tian.When he worked for the Xiao family before, he didn't think how powerful this person was. Why did his IQ rise several levels when he confronted the Xiao family?
"Wait for the news," Xiao Bei said, "They have captured Mo Mo, and they must use it to blackmail us. We can only wait for them to put forward their own conditions and deliver them to our door."
"But..." Xiao Qing was very worried, thinking that those little gangsters might do something offensive to Mo Mo.
However, this worry was not expressed again.She also knew how tricky the situation was, and also knew that Ah Bei was powerless now.It's just that Ah Bei is too stubborn to speak out, and he is unwilling to admit this status quo.
This night was the first night of Xiao Yushan's burial.In the old house of the Xiao family, there is another owner missing.
From nightfall, the light in Xiao Yushan's bedroom was always on, and Lisa didn't turn off the light in the room until eleven o'clock in the evening. Everything was as if Xiao Yushan was still there.
None of them knew how long this habit would last, and no one said it clearly, but everyone was thinking in their hearts, wanting to make this habit last a little longer, a little longer.
Until one day Lisa forgot to turn on the light for Xiao Yushan, knowing that one day Xiao Bei and Xiao Qing would not think of Xiao Yushan when they brought Yaoyao and Mengmeng back to the old house.
Lying on the bed in the room of the old house, Xiao Qing thought of her childhood.At that time, her parents were still there, and her grandfather was still there. The old house at that time always gave her a warm and lively feeling.The family gathered together, talking and laughing.The uncle brought a woman back, but the grandfather didn't like it, but the parents supported it, and the family inevitably had another dispute.
They love each other, argue with each other, and support each other like this... How wonderful it would be if they could go on like this forever.
But the Xiao family doesn't live long.
The greatest family happiness is three generations living under the same roof.Fortunately, grandpa also enjoyed the happy time of three generations living under the same roof, and uncle also enjoyed such a happy time.Although it is short-lived, there are fewer regrets about family affection in life.It's just that mom and dad don't even have the chance to watch them grow up.
Xiao Qing couldn't fall asleep because of tossing and turning, she wanted to go to Mom and Dad's room to have a look.But like Xiao Bei, she herself did not have the courage.Even though it is close at hand, even though it has never been forgotten, it does not have the courage to look at those relics.
Since they went to the United States, there has been no laughter in the old house.It was the return of Momo and Yaoyao that brought vitality to the old house again.
Turning his head to look at the photo of their family on New Year's Eve that was placed on the bedside.Uncle smiled so happy back then, uncle looked so healthy...but now...
Fortunately, this photo was left behind.
Uncle asked Lisa to develop the photos and put them in their room.In fact, the uncle is the one who longs for the warmth of the family the most, but they don't realize it.If the uncle didn't say anything, they ignored the company.
Xiao Qing couldn't fall asleep, so she got up and went out for a walk.When he opened the door, he saw Xiao Bei sitting on the guardrail on the second floor.The light was very dim, and Xiao Qing couldn't see Xiao Bei's expression clearly.But sister and brother are connected, she can understand Xiao Bei's mood at this time.
When they were young, when they lived in the old house, Xiao Bei was always willing to sit on the guardrail on the second floor.If grandpa and uncle saw it, they would be scolded; if Lisa saw it, they would report him nervously.At that time, Lisa was still a young girl, and she was not so fluent in Chinese. She said in broken Chinese, "I will fall, I will fall", like a parrot.
In my memory, my parents didn't stop Xiao Bei.But they were also very worried. Every time they saw Xiao Bei sitting on it, they would always quietly watch from the sidelines.In my memory, my father's self-righteousness still looks like he will rush out at any time.
"Abei, when Momo is rescued, let's all go back to the old house to live," Xiao Qing said softly, "Although this place is a little far from the city, this is our home after all."
In the darkness, Xiao Bei responded, "Yes."
When he was a child, he always liked to sit on the guardrail on the second floor, because he felt that it was high and that it was like being on the edge of a cliff, which was very exciting.
But now, sitting on it, his feet were on the ground.There is no longer the exciting feeling at the beginning.Sitting here at this moment, my heart is not peaceful.
Because he cared about a person in his heart, and that person was not by his side at this time.
Over the past year, he has gotten used to the days when Shen Mo was by his side, used to sleeping with a woman who sleeps badly beside him, and got used to the warmth by his side.
He didn't know how long this warmth would last.It's just that he knows that this kind of warmth has made him feel dependent.For the first time, he was so afraid of losing someone.
Mom and Dad left so suddenly that he hadn't had time to be afraid.And uncle and grandpa, although they are also people he cares about, they also know that life and death are fate, they are all old, and death will happen sooner or later.So when I think about it, I am not so afraid of losing it.
But for this woman... he could no longer imagine life without her now.So he never prepared in his heart to be without her. If one day she really left, he didn't know if he could treat him calmly.
Xiao Qing stood against the wall, Xiao Bei was still sitting on the railing, and the siblings remained silent.The night was silent, and no one felt sleepy.
No one knows whether a person has a soul after death.
In the past, they believed in materialism and knew that death was like a lamp going out, but at this moment, they hoped that there really was a soul in this world.They hope that their uncle's soul can come back to be with them.
By the time the medicine on Shen Mo's body wore off, it was already midnight.Shen Mo looked at the environment he was in, and then at Xuan Yue, and knew that he had been in a coma for a day.However, Xiao Bei did not rescue her during this day.
The mentality is good, and he still has the mind to joke with himself, thinking: "Without Yaoyao, no one will save you, right? I really thought I was a green onion!"
All joking aside, in fact, she knew in her heart that Xiao Bei still didn't know how anxious he was.
There were two punks guarding her in the room, very vigilant.One person was sleeping, and the other person was just like a night owl, staring straight at her with wide open eyes in a room with no lights on.
