Fortunately

Chapter 56
Yan Youwei was lying on the bed looking at the ceiling, while Yang Yang was sleeping beside her in a dim light.

It had been several hours since she had been separated from Wu Chu, but the words he said kept ringing in her ears.He seemed to be different today than usual. He was too talkative at first, and then became gloomy again.

When talking about his ex-girlfriend, Yan Youwei always felt flustered when he stood on the side of the boat and looked at his profile under the moonlight and dim light.For some reason, scenes of terrifying attitudes that I have seen in movies in the past surfaced in front of my eyes one by one.She even felt that Wu Chu would reach out to her in the next second, grab her neck and throw her into the sea.

But she didn't know his ex-girlfriend.

Just when Yan Youwei was beating drums in his heart, thinking whether to take Yang Yang with him and run quickly, a series of sudden bells rang in the dark night, making Yan Youwei shiver in fright.

Wu Chu was quite calm. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and picked it up. After saying a few words, he hung up.Then he explained to Yan Youwei: "Our boss is looking for me, and I have to go there. Working for others is hard work, what time is it, and if you are told to go there, you have to go there, and you can't delay for half a second."

Yan Youwei wished that he would leave quickly, so she hurriedly said that it was all right, and watched him leave with a smile.After Wu Chu left, Yan Youwei walked along the side of the boat for a while, feeling more and more terrified.The boundless sea in the dark night is like the mouth of a giant beast, ready to swallow the ship at any moment.

No matter how magnificent and magnificent the Hera was built, it was nothing more than a speck of dust compared to the vast sea.

Yang Yang in the stroller was already protesting, feeling that this place is really boring.Yan Youwei saw that it was getting late and the wind was strong at sea, so he pushed the child back.

After entering the room, it was the third child again, taking a shower, scrubbing and changing clothes, then the mother and child lay down on the bed, Yan Youwei told Yang Yang two stories, before the second story was over, the children closed their eyes.

Listening to the child's slight snoring, Yan Youwei couldn't fall asleep.She always felt that Wu Chu said those things to her deliberately today.But why did he tell himself?Yan Youwei couldn't think of a reason why.

She had never met Wu Chu's ex-girlfriend, and she had only heard it mentioned three times from the beginning to the end.One of them was told by Zeng Zimu, but he didn't speak in detail, not even as clearly as Wu Chu said today.

But based on the information she has so far, she still can't guess who Wu Chu's ex-girlfriend is.She carefully recalled the young women she knew, and it seemed that none of them died young, and everyone was alive and well.If she really knew Wu Chu's ex-girlfriend, it was impossible for her not to know such a big thing as abortion and death.

So after thinking about it, she still felt that this matter was unreliable, so she could only take Wu Chu's reaction today as a feeling, and it happened that she just said a few more words.

I don't want to. I don't want to.Yan Youwei told herself a few words in her heart, and after turning around a few times, she finally managed to feel a little sleepy.

As a result, she didn't sleep well that night, and she didn't want to stay in bed the next day, but Yang Yang woke up just after eight o'clock, scratching her face and bumping her head, trying to call her out of sleep woke up.

Yan Youwei rubbed his eyes and yawned, just about to get out of bed to get a glass of water, when he heard a knock on the door in the living room like thunder, he was very anxious.

She froze for a moment, hurried into the bathroom to tidy up in a hurry, then put on some clothes and went to open the door.She was even more surprised when the door opened, because it was Xia Xiaoqiao's husband Nie Kun who came.

As soon as he saw Nie Kunyan, the wound on Youwei's wrist started to hurt again.The pain reminded her of what she suffered in the restaurant yesterday, so the expression on her face was a little displeased: "Is there something wrong, Mr. Nie?"

Nie Kun looked quite depressed, with disheveled hair and wrinkled clothes. Although he was dressed for going out, he felt even worse than Yan Youwei who just woke up.

His eyes were bloodshot, looking over Yan Youwei's shoulders and kept looking into the room.Yan Youwei was quite upset by his actions, so she asked again with an emphatic tone: "What are you doing here, Mr. Nie? Zeng Zimu can't stay here."

"I didn't come to see Zeng Zimu, I came to see my wife."

"Your wife, Xia Xiaoqiao?" Yan You frowned slightly, "What did you ask her to come to me for?"

"I, I can't find her?"

Seeing him like this, Yan Youwei felt that the matter was not so simple, so he asked patiently, "Did something happen?"

"Xiao Qiao didn't come back last night. I don't know where she went. I called her and turned off her mobile phone. I asked the staff early in the morning, but no one reported anything. But she just disappeared. We were on the boat except You don't know anyone, so I wonder if she came to you."

Yan Youwei couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Mr. Nie, you also saw what happened yesterday, do you think she will come to me? If she really came to me, I guess I would have reported the crime a long time ago, because she came to me in all likelihood. Beater. Just look at my wrist and you'll see."

Seeing Yan Youwei turning up his sleeves to reveal his scarred wrist, Nie Kun said with apologetic expression: "I'm really sorry for Miss Yan. What happened yesterday was because Xiao Qiao was not good. She was too impulsive. I apologize to you on her behalf."

"It's okay, actually I don't care. But you heard what she said, don't you care?"

Nie Kun suddenly showed a remorseful expression: "Oh, I am also a man, how could I not care. It was because I cared. After you left yesterday, the two of us had a big fight when we returned to the room. Maybe I said something seriously. A little bit, mentioned divorce or something, she rushed out of the room without even taking her bag. I thought she came out to enjoy the sea breeze, and after a long time, people would come back when they woke up. But I waited all day. I didn't see her. I was a little anxious when she didn't come back at night. I knocked on your door last night, but you weren't there. Then I thought she would always come back, so I went back to my room and waited. But I waited until today There was still no news from her in the morning, so I was a little panicked. So I came here to look for you again."

The more Yan Youwei listened, the more he felt that something was wrong.She knew a little about Xia Xiaoqiao, she wasn't the kind of person who would seek life and death whenever she quarreled.Besides, this was on a boat, and she couldn't go anywhere except her own room at night, so there was no reason to blow the cold wind outside after a few words with her husband.

"Mr. Nie, this matter is a bit serious. I think you'd better ask the police to prepare for this. It's a big deal if you don't come back all night, so don't be negligent."

Nie Kun nodded as he listened, as if he had lost his soul.He couldn't help but blame himself, and finally asked Yan Youwei: "If Xiao Qiao comes to you, please call me. This is my mobile phone, and this is the plane in our room. Please, Miss Yan .”

After receiving the phone number, Yan Youwei watched Nie Kun leave, feeling very upset.I really don't know which song Xia Xiaoqiao is singing again, the good days must be like this.In the beginning, it was obvious that she was begging her to help her husband, but in the end she disappeared again.

The more Yan Youwei thought about it, the worse he felt. He always felt that there were too many things to do on this trip, not to mention it was fun, and he couldn't handle all these bad things.

It was Zeng Zimu's fault, he had to let her go on a trip for nothing, but he left when she came.What are these things called?

As a result, she didn't go out all day that day.Originally, the ship would stop at Dalian Port today, but Zeng Zimu once suggested that she could go ashore for a walk.But she doesn't have any intention of playing at the moment, she would rather sleep in the room.

Yang Yang was tired after playing outside for a long time the day before, so he obediently stayed in the room to watch TV, play games and eat.Three meals a day are ordered and delivered.In the evening, Zeng Zimu came back after finishing the work at hand. The mother and son were lying on the ground playing games together, with a pile of food around them.

The moment Zeng Zimu opened the door and walked in, he felt that this was what his ideal home should look like.You don't need to be too tidy or too restrained, you can do whatever you want.It doesn't matter if it's dirty or messy, as long as you live comfortably.Like their house, the servants cleaned it repeatedly all the year round, but they couldn't even find a few dust.Everything is perfectly arranged, the sheets are always in order, and the kitchen is as clean as if no one lives in it.What's the point of living in a house like that?Just like a model house, without a trace of warmth and popularity.

The scene in front of him still looks comfortable, Yan Youwei doesn't look like a mother, she's still as childish as she was ten years ago.Yang Yang is even more innocent and cute, as soon as he sees him coming in, he gets up and runs straight towards him.

Zeng Zimu suddenly felt like a father, picked up Yang Yang and twirled in the air twice, then put the child down, and took out the newly bought toy car from his bag for him.

When Yang Yang saw the toy, he was so happy that he lost his soul. His mother and uncle didn't want them all, so he jumped up and down the room with the box in his arms.Yan Youwei yelled at him a few times because he thought he was noisy, but Yang Yang didn't listen at all, instead he pestered her to take apart the toys.

Yan Youwei dismantled the toys for him and drove him to the back room to play by himself, while he "settled the score" with Zeng Zimu outside: "Why did you buy him toys. There are so many toys at home that you can almost open a store."

"No matter how many toys there are at home, I didn't buy any of them, did I?"

Yan Youwei was immediately defeated by this logic.Zeng Zimu came over and patted her on the shoulder: "Don't be unhappy, if you want a gift, I'll buy it for you right now."

"No, it's not sincere to buy now."

"Is this jealousy with children?"

Yan Youwei rolled his eyes at him: "There's no reason for my own child to be jealous. I'm just afraid that he will be spoiled. My parents are spoiled enough. I really give them whatever they want. Now if you do the same, this child It's really out of control. My parents don't have enough money after all, but you are different, you have enough money to buy an entire toy factory, and he will be crazy about it in the future."

"Everyone has only one childhood, why not make him happy?"

As soon as these words came out, Zeng Zimu was also taken aback.Unexpectedly, in such a short period of time, he has completely transformed into a doting father.

Thinking of the child, Zeng Zimu went to visit the child's mother again.

The lighting in the living room is warm and soft, and all the furniture is covered with a thin layer of soft light.The floor is covered with a thick woolen carpet, and Yangyang's toy car is still babbling and singing, which is very childlike.

When Zeng Zimu went to look at the car, he inevitably saw Yan Youwei's feet.She didn't wear shoes, she didn't even wear socks, she just stepped on the carpet with bare feet.Those feet are white and moist, illuminated by the dim light, they look like jade carvings.Zeng Zimu's throat couldn't help but move slightly.

He looked up again.It was still a bit chilly at the end of April, Yan Youwei was wearing a pair of tight leggings, and a loose long sweater that barely reached the length of her thighs.This attire was both casual and feminine, and it was fatally attractive to Zeng Zimu, a man who hadn't eaten meat for several years.

He took a step forward involuntarily.

Yan Youwei was still thinking about how to refute what he just said, completely unaware that Mr. Zeng's goal had already shifted from the child to her.She looked down at a series of toys spread out on the carpet, and couldn't help complaining to Zeng Zimu: "Look at how many toys this kid has. I bought them for him after he got on the boat, enough to fill a small display case." Yes. In our house with three bedrooms and one living room, his toys can at least fill the entire room. My dad asked me to wrap up the balcony to pile his stuff, but that’s not enough. You can buy it for him, and you will come back ..."

Yan Youwei chatted on and on for a long time, but suddenly stopped talking.Because she found that at some point Zeng Zimu had floated in front of her like a ghost, looking down at her.His eyes were dark and bright, and there was a deep meaning in them.Yan Youwei wanted to see clearly but didn't dare to take a closer look, so he could only turn his head to the side to hide his embarrassment.

Zeng Zimu let out a chuckle from his throat: "You look like a wife complaining about the child to her husband who just came back from a business trip."

"No, no, don't think about it."

"Am I thinking wrong, or are you thinking wrong?"

"I can think of anything wrong."

"Really not?"

Zeng Zimu took another step closer while speaking, and his whole body was almost attached to Yan Youwei's body.His light breath diffused slightly in the air, with a hint of mint fragrance, which smelled very nice.

Yan Youwei suddenly smelled the danger in it, and her heart beat faster involuntarily: "I, I didn't think about anything, you, don't get me wrong."

"What do you think I should have misunderstood? Misunderstood that you missed me a lot this day?"

I really miss him a little bit, but I can't admit it: "Who misses you, I have a good life with Yangyang."

"Really? Then how did you get the injury on your hand?" Zeng Zimu pinched her wrist and held it up to the lamp for a closer look.He noticed it when he just entered the door, but he never found a chance to ask.

When Yan Youwei saw the injury, he remembered that Xia Xiaoqiao was missing, and immediately became depressed: "It's nothing, I ran into an old friend yesterday."

"Meet an old friend? Seems like a strong man."

"No, it's a woman. You've seen it before, the girl you made someone get sprayed with wine at the school celebration last time."

"Which woman? I have no impression at all." Last time, he just wanted to teach the woman who was rude to Yan Youwei, and he didn't pay attention to who she sprayed the wine on.

"Forget it, don't think about it if you can't remember it, it doesn't matter anyway."

"Okay, let's not talk about that woman. Let's talk about this injury. How much hatred does a woman have against you to make you like this?"

"This...don't worry about it, it's already been resolved."

"Really?" Zeng Zimu went to look at those wounds as he said, and stretched out his fingers to touch them lightly.

Yan Youwei's wrist was pinched for such a long time, the skin was full of warmth and touch from Zeng Zimu's fingertips.The two were so close, and his movements were so gentle, the room was full of ambiguous and provocative feelings, which made her heart itch.

I always feel that if Zeng Zimu is allowed to do whatever he wants, something will really happen tonight.

Thinking of this, Yan Youwei broke free from his hand, stepped back and said, "Don't look at a little injury, you are tired from the plane, do you want to take a shower first?"

She spoke a little fast, which completely exposed the panic in her heart.Because of the panic, when she retreated, her steps were a little messy, and she accidentally stepped on a Lego block of Yangyang.Then she twisted her ankle and shook her body, and after a soft cry, she fell backwards.

Zeng Zimu still had a calm face, and just stretched out his hand to "catch" Yan Youwei up by the waist, and put her into his arms by the way: "I'm not tired, I won't be tired at all just holding you .”

These words were too blatant, and Yan Youwei's whole body was instantly on fire.Now even she has the feeling of a wife welcoming her husband back home.This man obviously divorced her, but why is he still so ambiguous in his words and deeds, and the ambiguity is quite natural.

And she didn't dislike his actions at all, instead she had a warm feeling.At the moment when she fell into Zeng Zimu's arms, Yan Youwei felt that there seemed to be a strong support behind her.

She has been a single mother for a long time, and she is used to doing everything by herself.I don't think there is anything to work hard for.But when someone was willing to give her a hand behind her back, she realized that there was actually a fragile side in her heart.Most of the time, it's not that she doesn't want someone to rely on, but she can't find such a person at all.

Now Zeng Zimu is voluntarily signaling that he wants to rebuild the old relationship with her, okay?If that's the case, should she say yes?

Yan Youwei's mind was in a mess for a moment, and those unsightly photos appeared in front of his eyes again.Thinking of that incident, she felt unable to swallow her breath.But think about it, if she can even forgive Ke Jianzhong, why can't she forgive Zeng Zimu?Perhaps this page should have been revealed long ago. Is it meaningless for her to be too entangled in the past?
Zeng Zimu's embrace was warm and strong, it was so comfortable to lean against him, so comfortable that Yan Youwei didn't even want to come out.

But just as she was thinking about it, she heard someone knocking on the door.

Yan Youwei couldn't help sighing, lamenting that maybe she and Zeng Zimu really lacked some fate.Every time I want to take a step forward, someone will always jump out and "smash the field".

She felt Zeng Zimu's body stiffen, and she was obviously displeased.But he still sensibly let go of his hand and turned to open the door.Yan Youwei lowered her head to look for her own slippers, and just as she put on one, she heard Zeng Zimu calling her: "Youwei, come here."

Yan Youwei hurriedly put on the other slipper, and went to the door to meet someone.There were two young men in uniform standing outside the door, and upon closer inspection they looked like marshals on a ship.She couldn't help but froze, and immediately thought of Xia Xiaoqiao.

So she asked: "Excuse me, what's the matter, is it related to Miss Xia?"

The two marshals didn't expect her to say that, and nodded after a moment of stupefaction: "Yes, Miss Yan, we are here for Ms. Xia Xiaoqiao's affairs. I want to ask you for some information."

"Then come in and talk." Yan Youwei took two steps back and let him into the living room.

The two marshals stood still in the living room and looked at each other, and one of the more experienced officers apologized to Zeng Zimu: "I'm sorry, Chairman, because there was a suspected wounding case on board, we must find the relevant parties to understand the situation. Please forgive me."

"It's okay, you can ask, do you need me to avoid it?"

"Not yet."

When Zeng Zimu spoke and listened to the sound, he immediately realized that things were not simple.As the owner of the ship, if there is an injury case on the ship, he will naturally have to deal with it.But now these two people are obviously not here for him, but for Yan Youwei.Yan Youwei was involved in a suspected injury case, and based on what they said, they might doubt whether Yan Youwei was suspected, so the matter became complicated.

He knows better than anyone whether Yan Youwei will hurt others.If a person who can't kill anyone is suspected, there are many possibilities.Zeng Zimu didn't want to think about those possibilities yet, but his eyes subconsciously fell on Yan Youwei's wrist.

His intuition told him that there might be some connection between these injuries and the arrival of these two marshals.

Yan Youwei, who was on the side, changed his expression greatly after hearing about the suspected wounding case, and immediately asked, "Did something happen to Xia Xiaoqiao?"

The policeman who talked to Zeng Zimu just now introduced himself as Qian, and he briefly told Yan Youwei what happened: "This morning, we received a report from Nie Kun, the husband of Ms. Xia Xiaoqiao, saying that his wife hadn't come home all night. So we launched a search operation on the ship. Ms. Xia has not been found so far. But two hours ago, we received a report from a passenger that a large pool of blood was found in a lounge, and there were scattered Items and the like. We rushed over to check and called Ms. Xia’s husband, Nie Kun, to identify them. There is no conclusion yet about who the blood belongs to, but Mr. Nie has identified the items scattered at the scene and confirmed that one of them is his wife. The earrings and high-heeled shoes she wore yesterday also match the size of her wife's shoes. We initially suspect that Ms. Xia Xiaoqiao was attacked in that lounge, so I would like to ask you to cooperate with us and answer a few questions. "

That police officer Qian spoke very politely and cautiously in front of Zeng Zimu, but Yan Youwei could tell right away that the police officer obviously regarded her as a suspect.

Thinking about it, it's true that many people must have seen the scene where she and Xia Xiaoqiao had a big row in the restaurant yesterday. Even if the crowd didn't say it, Nie Kun would definitely say it.It's understandable for them to think that way.

So she nodded and said, "Okay, you can ask anything you want, and I will answer truthfully."

Officer Qian then took out the paper and pen, and turned on the recorder, ready to take notes for Yan Youwei.

At this moment, the cell phone of another policeman rang. He stepped aside and answered it for about half a minute. When he hung up the phone and came back, he broke the latest news: "Miss Yan, we have just been received from the ship's hospital. The phone number, after the doctor's examination, the pool of blood was confirmed to belong to the missing person Xia Xiaoqiao."
