The man who loves and chases the murderer lives next door

Chapter 152 The Past, Ji Qian and Xiaobai
Ji Qian directly contacted Xiaolou to book her a direct flight to G City at 16:21 in the afternoon. Because Xiaolou had to check in the luggage for the two little guys, she could only catch the flight at [-]:[-] in the evening.

And because Ji Qian had to go to Luchuan Film and Television City to audition the next day, he could only refund Ji Qian's flight ticket from Kyoto to Luchuan and buy it again.

The schedule was very tight, but Ji Qian had to go back to G city once.

Qiao Xia had an accident, the news was too sudden and caught her off guard.

There was a constant humming sound in the cabin, even though Ji Qian was wearing earplugs, she still couldn't block the invasion of this headache sound.

Covering her face with her hands and pressing her temples with her index finger, she only felt that her whole head was buzzing.

Unable to think, a little numb.

Until I got off the plane, the sound was still in my ears, and I even felt a little top-heavy.

Taking out the phone, turning it on, a message from Xiaolou immediately popped up on the phone.

"Sister Qian, it's already been arranged. Go down the first elevator on the right hand side of the exit, and the car with the tail number 893 will take you there directly."

Ji Qian just asked Xiaolou to find out where Qiao Xia's funeral would be held, but this boy helped her arrange everything.

When was this kid so thoughtful?

This style of behavior seems to be Chen Zhu's handwriting. As for who Chen Zhu took orders from, it is not clear.

Anyway, it's not her brother, it's her mother.

Ji Qian reached out to help her sunglasses, and then followed Xiaolou's prompt to find the elevator.

No matter who it is, this is the best arrangement at the moment, and she doesn't have to make things difficult for herself.

Two minutes later, she got into the special car, which took her all the way to Tingshan funeral home.

Knowing that the destination was Tingshan Funeral Home, Ji Qian was actually quite surprised.

When Ji Xuan asked her where she was going, she replied "Attend the funeral", she just thought about seeing Qiao Xia no matter what, and seeing her off for the last time, but she never thought about going to the funeral, after all Qiao Xia died so suddenly and the scene was so chaotic, the police must intervene, how could it be sent to the funeral home so quickly?
Unexpectedly, when Ji Qian came to the funeral home, there would be news that surprised her even more.

Compared with the lively scenes of relatives and friends sending off other people's families, Qiao Xia's doorway was extremely deserted.

Except for the coffin parked in the middle, only her mother was burning paper in front of the coffin.

There were no tears, only a blank look on his face.

The paper money in the paper basin was ignited at one point, and the tongue of fire was licking, and the jumping fire light reflected on the woman's vicissitudes and numb face, making her look like a lifeless paper figure.

Seeing this scene, to be honest, Ji Qian felt a little horrified.

Especially now that it's almost eight o'clock, the sky will be dark, but it's not completely black, it's between gray and black, everything seems to be foggy, making it hard to see clearly.

It's like being in an illusion rather than the real world.

Ji Qian couldn't help shivering, walked in the door, and then saw the existence of another person.

It was a gentle man, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He was sitting at the resting table next to him with a tea cup in front of him, sipping small sips, as if this was not a funeral parlor, but a tea room.

Ji Qian frowned, feeling a little strange.

Who is this person and why did he appear at Qiao Xia's funeral?
And why is it so deserted here, forget about relatives and friends, why is there not even a media?This is seriously out of the ordinary.

Suppressing her doubts, Ji Qian knelt down, took a stack of paper money as well, tore them open one by one, and then threw them into the brazier.

The fire was covered, and Qiao Xia's mother raised her head, a little puzzled, and then reacted at the moment when the flames leaped again and the light increased sharply, a little surprised, "Xiao...Xiaoqian?"

Hearing this familiar address, Ji Qian's heart stirred. She took off her sunglasses and revealed her face, "Auntie, it's me."

Time seems to go back to the time when she and Qiao Xia just entered the industry.

At that time, she and Qiao Xia were good friends who talked about everything.

Qiao Xia is a single-parent family. Her mother is a simple and conservative rural woman who raised Qiao Xia independently.

However, Qiao Xia has a heart that is unwilling to be mediocre. After being discovered by scouts, she embarked on the road of the entertainment industry without hesitation.

When Ji Qian first met Qiao Xia, Qiao Xia was like the "wild lily in the mountains" sung in the lyrics, pure, beautiful, clean and beautiful.

But she underestimated the ambitions and desires of this wild lily, and in the end, the two parted ways.

Ji Qian still remembers the first time she saw Qiao Xia's mother.

It was the first time Qiao Xia's mother came to visit the class. She dragged Qiao Xia away with shock, anger and distress on her face.

Ji Qian chased after her, and it was only at that time that she realized that Qiao Xia had been hiding from her mother from the beginning to the end. She lied that she was studying in college, and her tuition was paid through work-study programs, but in fact she dropped out of high school and signed a contract with a family. The third-rate media company started to work hard.

Later, it was Qiao Xia who used Ji Qian as a shield, saying that such an excellent person as Ji Qian was also in the entertainment industry, and at the same time used her income to frighten Qiao's mother, so Qiao's mother gave up.

Because of this incident, Qiao's mother paid special attention to and began to like Ji Qian, so that when Ji Qian and Qiao Xia broke up, Qiao's mother went to Ji Qian to apologize to her for her daughter...

In a flash, so many years have passed.

"I didn't expect, I didn't expect that you were the only one who came to see Xiao Xia..." Qiao's mother finally couldn't hold back her tears.

"Auntie..." Ji Qian didn't know what to say, so she just lowered her head and looked for tissues in her bag.

Before she could find it, Qiao's mother wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, "Even Xiao Xia's assistant and manager wouldn't want to come, if it wasn't for You Li..."

She immediately fell silent, because the man sitting by the table knocked the teacup on the table, making a crisp sound.

It seems to be a warning or a reminder.

Li?

Is it you or Lee?
Because Qiao's mother's accent is very strong, and she can't tell L from N, Ji Qian is confused for a moment, not sure what she wants to express.

An apology appeared on Qiao's mother's face, and then she took Ji Qian's hand, "Good boy, thank you for coming to see Xiao Xia, I'll say sorry for Xiao Xia, I'm sorry... thank you!"

For the past betrayal, but also for the recent injury.

After the exposure of Ji Qian's "black material" was reversed, the "Yu Yu" also released photos. Photos of Qiao Xia sneaking in the corridor and taking pictures at the cabin door were uploaded, so the photos of Ji Qian and Yan You were It's clear who released it.

Although Qiao's mother doesn't know how to go online, she can hear other people's comments, and she also knows that her daughter has hurt Ji Qian again.

But who would have expected that in the last journey of her daughter's life, she was the only one who came?
"Auntie, the past is over, I... can you stop crying? Actually, this matter..."

Ji Qian originally wanted to say that the pile of black material that came out after Qiao Xia framed her was from her mother, but she still held back.

Well, she is her own mother after all.

She could only hold Qiao's mother's hand to comfort her with one hand, and wipe her tears with a tissue in the other.

All words are so pale.

What Qiao's mother cried was not only those apologies and guilt, but also the pain of losing her daughter.

Finally found someone, so her tears flowed like a floodgate opened.

Perhaps it was because the cry was too mournful, the man next to him finally raised his leg and walked out.

After crying for a while, Mother Qiao stopped and wiped her tears, "By the way, Xiaoqian, are you going to see Xiaoxia?"

Ji Qian nodded. She was grabbed by Qiao's mother as soon as she came, and she never had a chance to see Qiao Xia. She originally wanted to see her off, so how could she not.

Because of squatting for too long, Qiao's mother almost lost her footing when she got up, but fortunately Ji Qian held her up.

"excuse me, I……"

"It's okay, auntie."

Ji Qian originally wanted to say that she had to take care of her body even more when Qiao Xia was gone, but when she thought of such a widow, only her daughter was her life, and her daughter was her life, so how could she not be sad alone, and smiled survive?
Thinking of this, she couldn't say anything.

And when she saw Qiao Xia lying in the ice coffin with her hands clasped and her face peaceful, she was even more shocked.

Such a young, youthful, and fresh life will end here, and even after that, it will be cremated into a pile of ashes...

Ji Qian couldn't imagine.

The image of her and Qiao Xia confronting each other on the deck appeared in her mind. It was vaguely yesterday, how could it be...

In an instant, the past emerges.

The past that was thought to have been dusty or forgotten, at this moment, is extremely clear.

Ji Qian stretched out her hands to cover her mouth and nose, but she still couldn't stop the bitterness in her nose. At the same time, the bitterness in her heart spread to her limbs.

Finally, she couldn't hold back the tears and fell down.

Qiao Xia, who closed her eyes and slept peacefully, was just like when she first met, cute and clean, pure as a fairy.

The beautician of the funeral home seems to have a pair of sharp eyes, which can restore the most real and beautiful appearance of a person.

Seeing this face that had shed its ambition and desire and returned to its original innocence, Ji Qian's heart was filled with certain emotions for an instant.

"Qiao Xia, I was waiting for you to ask about Xiaobai, how could it be, how could it be..." In an instant, she let go of all the grievances and hatreds in the past, only the sadness and regret filled her chest.

"It's true that Xiaobai and I are childhood sweethearts, but the person he likes is you, it's you. He came to me that day because he wanted to confess his love to you and come to me for advice. But because my mother told him Those unpleasant things between the two of us, so I quarreled with them, and then...it's not what you think, Xiaobai never liked me from the beginning to the end, and I don't like him, you misunderstood Well, we're just very good friends."

Although she knew that Qiao Xia would never be able to hear again, Ji Qian still couldn't help but want to speak out.

Once she was stabbed in the back by Qiao Xia, and because Sheng Peibai strongly asked her not to speak out when she was dying, she chose to keep silent, but today, she no longer has the meaning of keeping secrets.

"Xiaobai knew he was going to die, so I swore to hide it. He just couldn't accept your change for a while, so he got drunk and caused a driving accident, but until the moment he died, he still thought about you. He said he I have never regretted liking you, and said that girls must be ambitious so that they will not be bullied. Ask me to forgive you, let alone tell the truth. Because he is afraid that he will hold you back, he just wants to see You live the life you want, that silly little white, he... I know you can't hear me, but I..."

Ji Qian shook her head, she was even thinking, if she hadn't followed Xiao Bai's last wish and told all the truth, would Qiao Xia have come to where she is today?

The scene of Qiao Xia's death was so rotten, her clothes were completely stripped, and her body was covered with pinch marks and an ambiguous bluish-purple.

Die so without dignity!
She couldn't imagine what Qiao Xia had gone through!
If Qiao Xia hadn't been allowed to continue to misunderstand her and Xiaobai before, would Qiao Xia be able to maintain the clarity and friendliness in her heart, maintain that expectation for love, so as not to fall into the mud, and get more and more happy? Go further and further?
Ji Qian didn't know, she could only cry uselessly.

After crying for a long time, she managed to hold it back, but her chest seemed to be blocked, making her a little out of breath.

"Xiaoqian, it's all over. It's because I didn't like Xiaoxia at this point. Desire can swallow a person. I should have stopped her a long time ago, I should have stopped her a long time ago..." Qiao's mother muttered, her face Her face was full of remorse, "When she did those things to you, I shouldn't have let her continue to stay in the entertainment industry. It was I who failed to stop her, and it was I who harmed her..."

Ji Qian didn't expect that Qiao's mother would take all the faults on herself.

Seeing her beating her chest hard, Ji Qian quickly grabbed her hand.

"Auntie, don't do this."

"No, Xiaoqian, do you know? It's all my fault. If it wasn't for me, Xiaoxia would work so hard and come out to earn money at a young age; if it wasn't for my lack of money, how could she be easily caught by the outsiders?" The world is lost? It's all my fault for being a worthless mother, so the child can't stand the temptation and does those shameless things!"

shameless?
Finally, Ji Qian couldn't help asking out her doubts, "Auntie, do you know Qiao Xia, how did she die?"
