Fortunately

Chapter 60 Introspection
Yan Youwei never doubted that Zeng Zimu was the most capable person she had ever met.But she must also admit that sometimes there are worlds in the world that no one can control, no matter how capable they are.

On the day they flew back to City S from Dalian, the police came to their door.At that time, Yan Youwei hadn't arrived home yet, so the police just knocked on her door and sat in the living room waiting for her to come back.

When Yan Youwei entered, the atmosphere in the room was very tense.When she saw her parents' worried faces, she couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.But she couldn't tell who she was angry with.Talk to the police, it's only natural for people to enforce the law and handle cases.Be angry with Wu Chu, it seems that besides lying a little, he still can't prove that he killed himself.Are you angry with Xia Xiaoqiao? She doesn't know whether she is alive or dead, and she doesn't have the time to hate her.

So after doing it for a long time, she was the evil fire in her stomach, and felt that it was too ugly for things to turn out like this.

She didn't want to talk about this matter in front of her parents, so after handing over Yang Yang to them, she and Zeng Zimu came out with the two policemen.She then got into the police car and went straight to the police station.

After arriving at the police station, she was taken into a special interrogation room, where she was told an important discovery about Xia Xiaoqiao's case.

If she was only under suspicion before, she has almost become the number one suspect identified by the police now.Because the police found an eyewitness who confirmed that she saw her attack Xia Xiaoqiao on the day of the incident.

Yan Youwei was very surprised by this sudden witness.After the police finished the basic situation, she just opened her mouth to find out who that person was, when another policeman led a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes in.After introducing that person is the lawyer Zeng Zimu hired to fight this lawsuit for Yan Youwei.

With the presence of a lawyer, Yan Youwei was obviously much more relaxed, and every time he wanted to open his mouth, he would not look back and forth.Basically, the lawyer was talking to the police throughout the whole process, while Yan Youwei sat aside and listened to the general situation clearly.

She has been stimulated enough in the past few days, and she thought that no matter what happened again, it would not have much impact on her.But it turns out she was wrong.After hearing that it was Ma Huilan who identified her as having killed Xia Xiaoqiao, Yan Youwei suddenly felt that this world was really too illusory.

The Hera must be a cursed luxury liner.From the first time she went up to the present, she has never passed smoothly.The first time it was snowing heavily, the car couldn't drive through.The second time she got into the boat with a broken leg, she was nearly crushed to death by a horse's hoof.And the third time is the most serious this time, almost to the point of going to jail.

It seemed that everyone related to her boarded that ship overnight.Xia Xiaoqiao and his wife, Wu Chu, and now Ke Jianzhong's parents.According to the police, Ma Huilan and her husband went on a boat trip together, and they ran into Xia Xiaoqiao.Xia Xiaoqiao invited the two of them to have dinner together in the afternoon on the day of the incident, but Ma Huilan's husband, Ke Yimin, did not go because he was unwell, leaving Ma Huilan alone.

Ma Huilan went out for a long time that day, and when she came back, she was very satisfied and looked distraught.But Ke Yimin himself said that he didn't take it to heart.Because after his son's accident, his wife often has such a situation, and he has long been used to it.But when he got up the next morning, he felt that his wife's condition was very abnormal.

He thought she was suffering from depression again, so he took her to see a doctor, but she refused to go after arguing.In the next few days, they flew back to City S from Dalian. Ma Huilan's situation has been unstable.Until yesterday she suddenly opened her mouth and told some things she saw on the boat.

Ke Yimin panicked when he heard this, and hurriedly took his wife Ma Huilan to the police station to report the case and provide clues.The police immediately recorded a statement for Ma Huilan, and it was because of her statement that the police had a reason to bring Yan Youwei to the police station for questioning today.

Police officer Zhu who was in charge of the interview asked Yan Youwei, "Do you know Ma Huilan?"

"Yes, she is the mother of my second husband."

"Okay, now she is giving us the information, saying that she saw you attack Xia Xiaoqiao with her own eyes, knocked her unconscious, and even kidnapped her. We hope you can tell us the situation honestly."

Yan Youwei shook her head almost immediately and retorted: "Sorry, I have never done such a thing. And my mother-in-law has Alzheimer's disease, I don't think what she said is credible."

"Alzheimer's disease?"

"Yes, my father-in-law showed me my mother-in-law's medical certificate. She is indeed suffering from Alzheimer's disease. You can go and find out."

At this point in the questioning, it seems that some can't go on.The two interrogating policemen looked at each other, and one of them went out, probably to ask the leader for instructions.The barrister sent by Zeng Zimu took the opportunity to ask the police to take Yan Youwei away.But the policeman who left soon came in again, saying that he was getting Ma Huilan's medical records from the hospital and asked Yan Youwei to wait here.

What happened next, Yan Youwei always felt messed up, probably because he was in a messy mood, and he felt vague and confused when looking at people and things.She didn't know how long she had been waiting, but she only knew that the lawyer beside her had been comforting her in a low voice.The two policemen didn't make things difficult for her, neither fierce nor scolded her, they just kept doing ideological work for her, hoping that she would admit the crime she had committed.

Yan Youwei has never experienced such absurd things until she was 31 years old.A few days ago, she was a good citizen with an innocence and character, but a few days later she was going to be a prisoner.And there was more than one person who sent her to prison, and many people around her united to deal with her, and they were determined not to give up until they killed her.

She admits that she has never done anything to be sorry for others.She didn't kill Chen Lishan, nor did she make her belly bigger. Wu Chu hated her for no reason at all.This is especially true for Ma Huilan. She has been making unreasonable troubles for herself in the past few years, and every time she sees Ke Jianzhong's face, she bears it.She thinks she has nothing to do wrong to the Ke family, and she can't afford to find fault with her several times.

As for Xia Xiaoqiao, Yan Youwei was not sure if she was also involved, but whether she was a victim or a criminal, Yan Youwei never felt sorry for her.On the contrary, she did something sorry for herself, and begged her to forgive me hypocritically.

Are people these days so blind to right and wrong?She suddenly felt that her previous three views had deviated.Originally, she thought that as long as she was a good person, even if there was no good reward, there would be no evil reward.But it turns out that she is too naive, even if you are as good as a virgin, once other people's unsatisfactory things are related to you, you are likely to become the target of their anger.

The more Yan Youwei thought about it, the worse his mood became. Although his eyes were sore, he couldn't shed a single tear.

She just sat there thinking about her thoughts, without taking a sip of the water in front of her.Later, she was almost impatient, and the police opened the door again.As soon as the policeman saw the epaulets, he knew that the rank was higher than those two, so Yan Youwei's lawyer once again proposed to release his client on bail.

The policeman treated the lawyer politely, introduced himself as Zheng, and was currently in charge of the disappearance case.As soon as he came in, he asked Yan Youwei if he was sure that Ma Huilan had Alzheimer's.Yan Youwei nodded and said yes, and emphasized again that she had read the medical records.

Officer Zheng thought for a while and asked again: "Do you still remember which hospital issued the medical certificate?"

Yan You frowned slightly, shook her head and said, "I don't remember it. My father-in-law, Ma Huilan's husband, showed it to me at the time, and I only paid attention to the diagnosis results above. I didn't know which hospital it was."

"Miss Yan." Officer Zheng's expression suddenly became serious, "I'm sorry that we have already asked Ma Huilan's husband Ke Yimin. Ma Huilan's relevant medical records confirm that she suffers from mild depression, but does not have Alzheimer's disease. Since the testimony you gave several times does not match our investigation, we need to keep you here for further investigation."

Probably in front of the lawyer, Officer Zheng paid great attention to his wording when speaking, as if he was afraid that the other party would find a loophole and make a big fuss.He didn't mention the word "detention", but Yan Youwei knew in his heart that this was detention.The lawyer surnamed Guo wanted to help her obtain bail pending trial, but Officer Zheng flatly refused.So he went out and made a phone call, and insisted on staying with Yan Youwei when he came back.

Then a new round of interrogation began.It's just that this time Yan Youwei refused to say a word, and showed his silence from the beginning to the end.Whenever the other party asked a question, Attorney Guo would immediately answer for her and turn the police back.After an hour of questioning, the two policemen got nothing but a few words of "no comment".The four of them talked in vain for most of the day in the interrogation room, feeling very frustrated with each other.

Just when Yan Youwei was getting ready to spend the night in the detention center tonight, the police officer surnamed Zheng came in again and told Lawyer Guo that he could take Yan Youwei away.This should be the only good news of the whole day today.Although Yan Youwei believed in her innocence from beginning to end, she couldn't help sighing at this moment.

Sure enough, people can't enter this kind of place. Once they enter, their minds will change.She felt that if she was brainwashed any longer, she might really think that she kidnapped Xia Xiaoqiao while sleepwalking.

When she walked out of the interrogation room, Yan Youwei saw Zeng Zimu who was sitting there waiting for her.As soon as he saw her coming out, he immediately got up to greet her, then had a few polite words with Lawyer Guo, then greeted Police Officer Zheng, and finally left the police station with Yan Youwei.

Lawyer Guo and Zeng Zimu glanced at each other and left without saying anything.Yan Youwei looked up at the sunset glow all over the sky, and couldn't help sighing, "I thought I wouldn't be able to come out tonight."

Zeng Zimu picked up the back of her hand and kissed: "There are still many things to deal with. But you still only need to remember one sentence, that is, I am here."

That "I'm here" really gave Yan Youwei endless comfort and courage.

When she got into the car, she said "thank you" to Zeng Zimu, but the other party only rolled her eyes back.She also knows that it is meaningless to say thank you now, and no amount of thanks can compare to everything Zeng Zimu has done for her.So in the end she could only hold a smile, even though it wasn't very pretty.

Zeng Zimu touched her face and asked, "Are you hungry, do you want to eat?"

"No, find a place for me to rest. I don't want to go home."

Going home now must be uneasy.It was unimaginable in the Yan family in the past that the daughter was taken away by the police.Even if the father didn't feel ashamed, he would definitely catch her and ask her non-stop.Yan Youwei's mind is muddled at the moment, unable to cope with the siege of his parents.She would rather find a quiet place to sit down and slowly sort out her thoughts on so many things.

Zeng Zimu understood her thoughts, made his own decisions without saying anything, and drove her to the outskirts of the city.After driving for nearly an hour, he brought Yan Youwei to a villa complex near the suburbs.

When he entered the door, he explained to Yan Youwei: "This is the property under my name, you stay here for a few days first. I will explain it to my uncle and aunt. If you want Yangyang, I will pick him up for you."

"No need, Yang Yang can stay with my parents. I'll explain myself. I'll call them later. They should be in a hurry."

Yan Youwei said that he was going to get his cell phone, but Zeng Zimu held it down: "Take a shower and eat something, and I will call later. I have already called them and roughly explained the situation. They know You can rest assured that nothing will happen."

Yan Youwei withdrew her hand, obediently went upstairs to take a bath.When she came out after changing her clothes, Zeng Zimu had already brought out two bowls of noodles from the kitchen.Yan Youwei stared blankly: "You did it?"

"I ordered takeaway."

"I said, I don't think you can do it."

"Why, you don't like my cooking skills?"

"It's not that I don't like it, but I think you are too busy to study these things."

Zeng Zimu put the noodles on the table and called her over to eat: "I also feel that I have been too busy these years, so busy that I don't even know such an important thing as having a son. But whenever I have some free time, let someone ask you The situation, most of them know about Yangyang, and maybe they will really investigate. There is no need to be kept a secret for three years."

"Are you blaming me?"

"No, I'm blaming myself. Sometimes when things happen, I don't just blame others blindly, but I also have to reflect on myself and think about my own mistakes. Only in this way can I ensure that I don't make the same mistakes in the future."

The speaker has no intention and the listener has the heart, this is an ordinary sentence, but there is another interpretation in Yan Youwei's ears at this moment.She sat down and held the hot noodle bowl in a daze, "You're right, you can't just blame others when something happens, you have to reflect on yourself."

Seeing that she was not in the right mood, Zeng Zimu walked over and hugged her into his arms: "Don't think about it, I said it has nothing to do with you. The series of things that happened recently are not your fault, you don't need to reflect on them at all."

"No, I need to reflect. I used to be too self-righteous. I thought I was right in everything, and I only believed in my own judgment. Whether it was divorcing you or giving birth to Yang Yang, it was all done by me alone. Decision. I never ask for other people's opinions, and I don't listen to other people's advice. At that time, my parents kept persuading me to tell you the matter and let me have a good talk with you. But I just didn't want to. I was young and energetic I am too conceited and blame all the faults on you. Think about it carefully, I am also responsible for our marriage to such a point. But in the past three years, I have always felt that I am the victim, and I have never considered you Maybe I feel the same way towards others, which is why I incurred so much dissatisfaction. When I was in the police station today, I really hated Wu Chu and Ma Huilan. But now calm down and think about it, maybe in their eyes I It's the evil devil who ruined their lives. They have enough reasons to hate me, but I don't know it at all."

Zeng Zimu squatted down, trying to meet Yan Youwei's gaze.When he spoke, his voice was a little soft, which made people feel warm in their hearts: "Youwei, each of us makes mistakes. We are human beings, not gods. It is always easy when we blame others, but it is always easy to reflect on ourselves. It is difficult. Everyone is like this, you don’t have to blame yourself too much. Now that you have realized the weakness in your character, pay attention to it in the future, maybe you can overcome it. Now we have more important things to do. If not, don’t think about it.”

"doing what?"

Zeng Zimu stood up and sat down opposite her: "Eat noodles. Are you hungry?"

When he mentioned this, Yan Youwei was really hungry.Seeing the red soup and white noodles in the bowl, her stomach growled non-stop. She didn't talk nonsense, she scooped up the noodles and ate them. After eating, she went to see Zeng Zimu on the opposite side, and found that he was also eating noodles, although they looked good. , still handsome and compelling, but always a little more intimacy than usual, so I couldn't help laughing.

Hearing the laughter, Zeng Zimu raised his head and looked over, and couldn't help laughing too: "This should be the best smile you've had in the past few days. If you had known that I ate noodles, you would have laughed, and I should have been with you every day." Performing and eating noodles in front of you is what it is.”

The two faced each other and ate a big bowl full of noodles, and finally Yan Youwei was overwhelmed and burped when he touched his stomach and entered the bathroom, as if if he tried harder, the noodles he had just eaten would come out of his mouth.

Zeng Zimu stood at the door of the bathroom, blocking her way with his hand: "Let's talk about something first, how are we going to sleep tonight?"

"How do you sleep? In such a big house, let alone one room for one person, three rooms for one person are more than enough. You can sleep however you want."

"Then I want to sleep with you, okay?"

Yan Youwei twitched the corner of his mouth and didn't answer. When he entered the bathroom and closed the door, he stuck out his tongue at the other party: "Of course not."

But obviously Yan Youwei underestimated the thickness of Zeng Zimu's face.When she took a shower comfortably and found out in the bathroom that she had no pajamas but wrapped in a towel and walked out, she saw Zeng Zimu leaning on the big bed naturally, flipping through a document in his hand.

Just as Yan Youwei was about to speak, Zeng Zimu's phone rang, so he picked up the call with crackling noises, and when he hung up the phone, Yan Youwei sneezed because of the cold.

"Fortunately, the call was two seconds late, otherwise it will spread in the company tomorrow, saying that there is a woman hiding in the chairman's room." Zeng Zimu said while picking up a piece of clothing beside him, "Before you take a bath next time, remember Bring your clothes. Of course, I don't mind if you come out naked."

Yan Youwei snatched the nightgown, hid in the bathroom and put it on, and when she came out again, her face was full of "disgust".She went to the bed and kicked Zeng Zimu: "Go to sleep in the next room."

"Why? This is my home."

"Okay, I'll sleep next door."

"Okay, please."

Yan Youwei secretly scolded him for being childish, turned around and left the room.As a result, he had just climbed into the big bed in the next room, and hadn't slept well yet, when Zeng Zimu's brown candy came again.

"Why are you here again? Don't come up, have you taken a shower yet?"

"Do you want to smell it? You should be familiar with this smell."

Facing Zeng Zimu's suddenly bullying body, Yan Youwei retreated instinctively: "It's fine, I just know you've washed it. Didn't you sleep next door, why did you come here again?"

"This is also my home, my room, my bed, is there any problem with me sleeping?"

Yan Youwei knew that his "rogue" mode had been turned on again in such an instant.Thinking about his past achievements, Yan Youwei, who ate zero eggs, decided to save his saliva.She turned over and turned her back to Zeng Zimu, wrapped in the quilt and said muffledly: "Okay, your home is your bed, you can sleep if you want."

Zeng Zimu sat there holding the report, looking at Yan Youwei's back, he wanted to laugh.Finally, he couldn't help but reached out and patted her on the shoulder: "You're really like a child, that's all, go to sleep, don't disturb me by snoring."

"Go to sleep next door if you think it's noisy."

"Just sleep here."

"I don't know who looks like a child."

"Obviously you."

"Let it go...it's obviously you."

"Are you ready to argue with me till dawn?"

"You started the war first."

"I'm just stating the fact that you used to snore when you slept."

Yan Youwei was so angry that she turned over and sat up: "Nonsense, I never snore, don't slander me. Haven't I been slandered less these two days, and you still want to kick me?"

The apparently pleasant atmosphere suddenly became awkward.Zeng Zimu hurriedly put down the documents at hand and hugged Yan Youwei: "Okay, don't cry. I wanted to tease you to make you happy, but you are more serious. Calculate my fault, okay? I only snore when I sleep OK?"

Yan Youwei's heart has been extremely fragile these two days, being coaxed by Zeng Zimu so self-sacrificingly, and thinking of the things he did for himself, the tears that she didn't want to shed at first finally overflowed.

Zeng Zimu's head suddenly became dizzy: "Don't tell you to cry, why are you so energetic. When I was a child, I was most afraid of seeing you cry. You were obviously like a boy one moment, and you were crying like a little boy the next second. A daughter-in-law. You are so old, you have a son, and you still cry like this, should Yang Yang laugh at you later?"

Yan Youwei buried her head on Zeng Zimu's chest, wiping all her snot and tears on him.Crying and crying, she became sleepy, her eyelids kept drooping, and finally fell asleep directly on Zeng Zimu's body.

She fell asleep in the dark, and didn't wake up until ten o'clock the next day.When she woke up, she found that she was alone in the room, she put on her clothes and went out, but there was no sign of Zeng Zimu.She tried calling a few times, but no one answered her.

For a moment, she even felt quite scary. She was the only one in the huge house. If it wasn't for the daytime, she would have screamed in fright.

So she turned around and went back to her room, shutting herself in a small space.But when she walked to the dressing table, she found that Zeng Zimu had left her a note.The note was a random torn post-it note, and the handwriting on it was very scribbled. It only said that he had something to go out and would be back soon.

For some reason, seeing this hastily written note, Yan Youwei always felt that something was going to happen.
