卯shang sky-high wife

Chapter 38
That is definitely a kind of extreme enjoyment in life.

At 03:30 in the afternoon of this day, two elegant women, one old and one young, sat here, refilled tea, and sipped lightly.

The old lady caressed the teacup, her eyes were full of dreamy memories, her lips were lined elegantly, and said:

"In the eyes of all, it is dazzling and sparkling.

"Of course, a handsome appearance is a unique asset in itself, but a strong ability and a bright mind are an incomparable wealth.

"I saw such an entertainment survey on the Internet before, and the editor said jokingly there: When you see a high-end man like Qi Da, what is the first thing you think of?
"There are many options, and I can probably remember a few of them: 1, the unclear number 0 on the bank card, you don't have to worry about it in this life, but you have to be prepared to share it with others; 2, the beautiful Like a manor in a fairyland; 3, a personable and handsome man, pleasing to the eye, and can give birth to a genius baby... Others, I don't remember. Among these options, the first option is the most popular.

"What can this explain? It shows that in the eyes of many people, it represents wealth and is a model of success.

"But many people have seen his success, but they rarely pay attention to the efforts behind the success, and no one can really understand his mentality.

"On the surface, he is exuberant, but in fact, the more successful he is, the more lonely and unhappy he is.

"Followed by an unhappy childhood..."

Ugh!
When she said this, the old lady suddenly sighed softly, took a sip of tea, and leaned there, the sun shone on her, illuminating the regret in her eyes.

Shi Tan listened, accompanied by the warm and charitable voice of the old man, and vaguely remembered his own childhood. Fortunately, and even more unfortunately, it occupied the time when he started to have memories...

She didn't interrupt.

The old lady went on:

"My eldest son, your father-in-law Qi Jian, was forced by me when he married his step-mother Lan Fang."

Shi Tan's movement of drinking tea was paused slightly because of this sentence, and he looked sideways and asked softly:

"The reason?"

"Because I like it!"

"You like Lanfang... Ms.?"

Shi Tan hesitated for a while, and finally didn't call the woman he had never met "Mom".

The old lady didn't care, she nodded:

"Yes, I like Lanfang."

I used to like it so much, but now every time I mention this name, my heart hurts.

"Lan Fang is my student. She is a very well-behaved and good child. She is from a poor family and was adopted. However, she is born with exquisite silk, has a demure temperament, and has a very high talent for painting. I like it very much. Like an ancient lady, she has a kind of elegant beauty. So, I took her home several times.

"At that time, I had a wish, thinking about the possibility of matching her with my son. If I could marry a daughter-in-law who shared my interests, I would be very happy.

"I have three sons who are three, two and one year older than Lan Fang.

"In the beginning, Lan Fang was closer to my second child, and I was happy to see her success. I thought she and my second child were a good match. But later on, I didn't know what happened between them. Lan Fang was pregnant, but the child was the eldest. , and the boss still refuses to take responsibility. The second child even had a fight with the boss. I was very angry when I heard about it, and I tried to persuade the boss to marry Lan Fang. Run away from home, did not attend the wedding of the boss.

"One month later, Lan Fang successfully became my eldest daughter-in-law, and my Qi family's descendants were conceived in her belly. I thought that all the merits and virtues had been fulfilled, but it turned out to be a big mistake."

The old lady sighed again, and her fair forehead was also covered with ripples representing the years of sadness because of memories, which carried unspeakable bitterness, probably because the memories were bitter to her heart, she was silent for a while, and then spoke again , but the tone became more and more astringent:

"After getting married, the boss didn't treat Lan Fang kindly. He didn't go home all year round, didn't enter his wife's room, and went out to mess around without restraint. When his wife gave birth, he was far away abroad. The child's name was given by his grandfather. Then Afterwards, what the old man meant was: the Qi family is the only successor."

Shi Tan also frowned, this kind of marriage is really sad.

If you don't love each other, why do you have to be together?
In the kingdom of marriage, there really shouldn’t be any force.

In this matter, what the old lady did was wrong, and she shouldn't even keep the child.

Thinking of this, Xiaobai's cute face suddenly flashed in her mind: Well, well, every mother who chooses to have a child has a reason why she must do that, and she shouldn't have such radical ideas.

In the ear, the old lady's narration continued, she pulled back her lost thoughts and listened carefully:

"...It was only later that I found out that the boss had a woman outside. Not only did he have one, but that woman also gave birth to a son for her. The child was three months younger than Qi Ji. The boss's heart has always been on that woman.

"The marriage between him and Lan Fang lasted in name only for two years, Lan Fang couldn't bear it, and finally filed for divorce.

"She said she didn't want to continue in this ridiculous marriage.

"Although I tried to persuade them to stay, in the end, their relationship as a husband and wife is too weak. They have a good family, and they just torn it down like that.

"Because of this incident, I fell into a serious illness. I was angry. Fortunately, Lanfang didn't ask to take the child away. After they divorced, I took the child with me, and this washed away the incident to me. The pain left behind.

"Not long after that, the boss brought another child in his arms, which meant he wanted to right him. I did not agree with my life and death. I said that if he dared to marry, he would automatically give up his right of inheritance. All properties under the Qi family, he will have no right to inherit.

"The boss is very career-oriented, and he dare not confront our husband and wife on this matter. In this way, he has not remarried, and has been single in legal name. Although in fact, he and that woman have been living together. But That's something I can't control anymore. Anyway, I just don't want that woman's household registration to be added to our Qi family's family tree. In this matter, I am stubborn. No matter what the outside world thinks, in short, my Thoughts, no one can shake them."

It is indeed stubborn.

This kind of stubbornness should also contain the old lady's guilt towards her ex-daughter-in-law.

Parents' marriage is so tragic, as their children, how can life be easier?
Suddenly, she felt more sympathy for Qi Ji.

Just thinking about it, the old lady started to talk again, this time talking about Qi Ji.

"Twenty weeks later, less than two years old, there is no mother around me, and this child was brought up by me.

"Tan Tan, you don't know that when you were young, you were so beautiful, with a pair of eyes that looked very special, a face that was fleshy, pink and tender, and a small mouth that was very sweet. The important thing is that no one can match his intelligence, his memory is amazing, and his thinking ability is incredible."

These words made Shi Tan think of Xiaobai, that excellent genes are completely inherited from him - she can completely imagine.

Because of Qi Ji, the old lady had another faint smile on her face, which contained some kind of comfort and love:
"Following reading is reading by skipping grades. He is in kindergarten, and he is already in fourth grade; he is in third grade, and he has finished junior high school...he is the most beautiful child I have ever seen. smart one.

"The so-called genius, I haven't seen it before, but I didn't expect our Qi family to have such a child with a high IQ. His grandfather kept saying that this child could take on the burden of the Qi family in the future. But who knows what happened in the middle?" Something happened."

The sudden change in tone also made Shi Tan's heart tighten.

"Following that, when I was ten years old, I had a serious illness. It was so severe that it was almost life-threatening. Because of my illness, his grandfather was too busy to take care of him. So we discussed it and let His father took him to live with them.

"At that time, his father and that woman had been living together for ten years, and they had already made that place their home, and then became a redundant one.

"I didn't get my father's attention since I was a child. If I went there, I'm afraid I would be rejected. But his grandfather felt that the relationship between father and son couldn't be so rigid all the time. Relationships can only be established through contact. So, he still went to that house.

"At that time, I sent someone to take care of Jizhi, someone supervised him, and the woman didn't dare to treat Jizhi badly. It's just that he disappeared on the way to the library after school within a few months..."

Shi Tan also knew about this matter, the case had caused a sensation all over the country.

"At the same time as Jizhi disappeared, Lan Fang also disappeared.

"At first, many people thought that Lan Fang was missing his son and ran away with him.

"But I don't agree with this point of view. Lan Fang is a child who understands the general situation. She knows that keeping Jizhi in the Qi family is good for the child and not harmful. Jizhi is also filial. It is absolutely impossible for him to leave without saying a word.

"I said, it must be a banger, those people are very bad, they intentionally beat up their mother and child together, so as to draw our attention to another perspective.

"But if it's a gang fight, why didn't those people make blackmail calls? It's too strange to see people alive or dead. Are you right..."

It is indeed very strange!
Based on Shi Tan's professional knowledge and years of experience in solving crimes, this is definitely not a simple fight.

Maybe someone wanted to kill their mother and child!

But who would be so vicious?

She didn't answer, just listen to the following.

The old lady recounted slowly while recalling:

"The police have helped us investigate for more than a month, but there are no particularly useful clues. His grandfather and I don't believe in evil, and continue to send people to search and search. How could such a smart child say that there is only half a person? We can't find him! We have been looking for him for four years, and when we found him again, we could hardly recognize him: he was dark, thin and tall, with scars all over his face and body."

Finally, Shi Tan couldn't help but interjected: "Where did he go in those years? How did he get into such a mess? Was he imprisoned?"

The old lady showed a helpless smile:
"He didn't say."

"Didn't say?"

Shi Tan was surprised.

"Yes, I didn't say anything. What happened to him during the four years of his disappearance? To this day, he still refuses to give us a clear explanation. The only thing we know is that he witnessed his mother die unexpectedly. Then Not long after we brought her back, she led us to a private cemetery and brought back my mother's ashes. Only then did we know that Lan Fang was gone."

At this point, the old lady sighed softly, her eyes filled with distress.

"Then what happens later..."

Not wanting the old man to indulge in sadness, Shi Tan asked softly, trying to break up the somewhat heavy and sad atmosphere.

Only then did the old lady put away her sadness, and continued to say:
"Later on, he skipped a grade and finished college. At the age of 16, he applied for military training in Special Area A, where he honed himself for four years. He said that a real man should be in That’s the kind of place where you grow up, rather than figuring out how to make money all day long.”
