Chapter 29 He Knows Who Did It Back then

"Ah—" She arched her back and shouted hoarsely, the pain that had been suppressed in her heart for many years was released with this cry.

Then, she started to walk into the sea, lost her mind and lost her soul, ignoring people's calls, and went firmly into the cold sea.

Once, her undesired child was soaked in such cold water, he must be very cold, very cold, he must want to break free, but he couldn't cry out, he was just wrapped in the bitingly cold sea water, wrapped Sent to a faraway place without roots...

She didn't protect him well to let him suffer like this...

"Madam! Madam!" Luo He rushed into the water, grabbed Mu Li's arm, and dragged her to the beach with great effort.

Mu Li sat paralyzed, tears streaming down his face.

Not far behind him, Lin Jinqian was sitting in a wheelchair, watching her dark eyes like stars in the dark night, slowly closing them tiredly, he turned the beads, opened and closed his thin lips, and the pain between his brows gradually dissipated.

Lin Xi was discharged from the hospital, and after waking up for examination, she was fine. The little girl didn't like the smell of the hospital, so she wanted Lin Jinqian to take her home, saying that she missed peanuts and her mother, and that she heard her mother talking to her while she was asleep.

"Father, isn't mom at home? Why didn't I see her?" Lin Xi asked nonchalantly, holding the teddy bear she just bought in her arms.

Lin Jinqian rubbed the top of the little girl's head, and said dotingly, "You go to rest first, and when you rest, mother will appear."

"But I've already rested, and I just miss my mother." The little girl acted coquettishly and cute, and rubbed her eyes to Lin Jinqian, "Dad, I miss my mother."

Lin Jinqian smiled slightly and stroked her hair. Just as he was about to say something, Mu Li came back.

She walked in in a daze, her feet staggering, and her clothes soaked in seawater dripped into the water.

"Mom!" Lin Xi ran forward excitedly when she saw her come back.

Mu Li was stunned, woke up with a start, looked at the little girl with her head up, her face full of expectation, her eyes suddenly moistened, she raised her hand, then suddenly retracted it, as if she hadn't seen anything, she hurried upstairs.

"Mom! Mom! Mom..."

Lin Xi hugged the teddy bear, and chased after her with short legs, but she couldn't get Mu Li to turn around with her shouts, so she stood there dumbly, looking at her leaving back, with big black eyes Full of tears.

Lin Jinqian watched the panicked figure escape from sight, pulled Lin Xi into his arms, pinched her little face bulging from holding back tears, "Xiao Xi, go to rest, you don't want to rest , Mom doesn’t care about you anymore.”

Lin Xi wiped her eyes, tears were shining weakly, "Then I rest, will mom accompany me?"

"Of course."

"Then I'll go now."

Lin Xi came out of his arms, held the teddy bear's hand, and quickly climbed up the stairs with her short legs.

How much the child longed for his mother's company!
As soon as Mu Li returned to the room, she went straight to the bathroom. She stood under the shower, hot water poured down from the top of her head, and the scorching breath spread in the bathroom, warming her nerves frozen by the bitter cold.

She began to wake up a little bit, telling herself, this is the last indulgence, the last time to remember!

After Mu Li changed into neat clothes, she tidied herself up to at least look energetic, and then she went to the courtyard to find Lin Jinqian.

"Mr. Lin, let's talk."

Lin Jinqian put down the freshly cooked melon slices, looked up at her coldly, and nodded after a while.

That was the first time Mu Li went to Lin Jinqian's study. She had been married for six years, and she had never stepped into his private territory.I still remember when she was first married, she ran to the door of the study curiously, and was stopped by Lin Jinqian as soon as she touched the doorknob.

The study room is very big, as big as two bedrooms. The side next to the wall is almost full of bookcases, full of books. The tatami mat in front of the bay window is covered with a layer of fur, clean and tidy.

Lin Jinqian signaled Mu Li to sit down on the tatami, and then began to make tea, "What do you want to talk about?"

Mu Li withdrew his probing eyes, summoned up the courage to face Lin Jinqian squarely, and said calmly, "Mr. Lin, I really wanted to find out what happened five years ago when I came back this time, so I went to the psychological studio of the Hou family. .

"The suspect told me before he died that the incident back then was instigated by someone, and the target was the Lin family. You already knew there was someone behind it, didn't you?"

Lin Jinqian didn't answer, as if he didn't hear what she said, he just concentrated on making tea, making tea was not as important as the sky falling.

Time passed by every minute, the tea was gurgling and rolling, and the deadly silence made Mu Li a little restless.

These five years of lonely life in a foreign country have smoothed her edges and corners, and her temperament has also worn down to indifference or even coldness, but when she met Lin Jinqian, she still couldn't stand it.

She had already told the whole story of what she had done while staying in Rongcheng, showing the greatest sincerity, but he turned a deaf ear to it.

"Mr. Lin—"

"Who did you tell about it?" Lin Jinqian finally spoke, his voice was low and hoarse in the silent study room.

Mu Li paused, and after a few seconds, he understood what he meant, "I didn't say anything to anyone."

"Don't the police ask?"

Mu Li shook his head, "I asked, but I didn't say anything." There was some anticipation in his heart, it seemed that he was going to tell her.

Lin Jinqian lowered his eyes, his thick long eyelashes covered all the emotions in his eyes, and began to pour tea with an indifferent expression.

The atmosphere fell into dead silence again, only the gurgling sound of tea dripping into the cup could be heard.

Lin Jinqian handed her a cup of tea, and Mu Li took it, warming it in his palm, "Thank you."

"I know, it will be a long time later." Lin Jinqian took a sip of tea and said slowly.

However, Mu Li seemed to grasp the last straw, and asked tensely, "Who is he?"

"I don't know is a blessing, you should cherish it, instead of just pestering it, it will be harmful to everyone." Lin Jinqian said flatly, "It's better to treat it as a nightmare. When you wake up, forget it."

nightmare?What nightmare can destroy a man?

Mu Li bit his lip, unconsciously clenched the purple sand teacup, and said bitterly: "He came for your Lin family. I just carried the title of 'Mrs. Lin' and became a scapegoat. If it didn't happen, can I put this account on you?"

Lin Jinqian breathed out leisurely, "Have you insisted on investigating, have you considered the consequences? If you find him, would you dare to face such cruel facts?"

Mu Li was stiff and trembling uncontrollably.

She never thought about whether she dared to face it, but these years alone in London, trying to fill the empty shell through learning, the more time passed, the seemingly calmer life was actually full of dark tides, and she felt more and more that life is alive, just a few decades In the end, he died unexplainably, and never came to the world for a while.

Just like her mother, her mother's death gave her a boost, and she made up her mind to come back to find out, and finish that forgotten, neglected, unfinished thing.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lin Jinqian couldn't bear it, and said compassionately: "Don't think about it, let the past go, and continue to study, it will only destroy yourself."

"I've been almost destroyed." Mu Li hoarsely raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes trembling in pain, "If I don't understand, I won't rest in peace until I die."

Lin Jinqian shook his head, quite disappointed, "Then have you ever thought about why there was no follow-up action if it was aimed at the Lin family?"

Mu Li spent a lot of time thinking about this question, but couldn't find the answer, but just a few seconds ago, when Lin Jinqian admitted that there was something behind the scenes, she suddenly figured it out.

After knowing the existence of that person, she stopped the revenge in time, so these years, she was left to suffer alone, enduring all the suffering, and ignored him.

"You are simply setting yourself on fire." Lin Jinqian put down his teacup and turned the prayer beads, "Even if you and I are destined to be married, because of our past relationship, some things are kept from you for your own good. Now The most important thing you should do is to leave Rongcheng and never come back."

"It's impossible for me to leave." Mu Li said extremely firmly, paused, and added, "I must figure it out!"

"Have you thought about the consequences?"

"It doesn't matter." There is nothing left, no matter how bad...does it make a difference?
Lin Jinqian stopped talking, closed his eyes and turned the prayer beads in his hand.

Mu Li looked at his tall nose, and sighed secretly. He was sitting quietly like this, unfathomable, and he didn't know what he was thinking. She had studied psychology for many years and had actual combat experience, but facing Lin Jinqian, she was There is no way to start.

After a long silence, Lin Jinqian suddenly said, "If you want to know, it's not that I can't tell you, but before that, there are some things you need to do, and I'll tell you when the time is right."

"whats the matter?"

"Nature will tell you when you need to do it."

"Why should I believe you?"

Lin Jinqian finally opened his eyes, the pupils were as black as ink, he raised the corners of his lips, flashing a flash of certainty, but it was fleeting, and Mu Li didn't see it.

"You can also choose not to believe it, I don't force it."

He was so casual, without any intention of bargaining!
"Let's go, come to me after you think about it." He took another sip of tea, with a cold tone, and impatiently chased away the guests.

Mu Li put down a sip of his undrinked tea, left the study, and went straight to the outside of the villa, but saw Luo He leading Peanut to the door, and she silently followed behind.

After leaving the villa, Luo He turned around, and Peanut also stopped.

"Is Madam planning to go against Eldest Young Master's will again?" Luo He asked, his tone still respectful.

Mu Li stepped forward and said lightly: "Did you send my child away like this back then?"

Luo He was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

"That's all." Mu Li waved his hand, "Does Xiaoxi agree?"

"Miss doesn't know yet."

Sure enough, it was Lin Jinqian's style, he could just make his own decision and not ask for other people's opinions.

"Give it to me." Mu Li stretched out his hand to pick up the rope, Rohe hesitated to give it, but Peanut thought that Mu Li wanted to shake hands with it, so he raised his front paw proactively.

"Look at it being so obedient, even if it accidentally hurt Xiaoxi, it won't be abandoned." She knelt down and touched Peanut's head, "When Xiaoxi wakes up and can't find it, she will be sad."

"No, the young master has already decided to find another little playmate for the little miss."

Mu Li raised his eyes and looked at Luo He in disbelief. He was calm and calm, without the slightest emotion. He really stayed by Lin Jinqian's side for a long time, and he was exactly the same indifferent as him.

Mistakes, worthless, boring...all thrown away without nostalgia.

Mu Li stood up and looked at the grinning golden retriever. It was unaware of its fate of being abandoned. She avoided its friendly gaze, stood sideways, and saw a car approaching uphill.

Ling Shu.

As far as Lihuaxi is concerned, her car is a frequent visitor, so that a parking space is specially set up for her, which is enough to show that it is special.

What Lin Jinqian wanted her to do, wouldn't it be to give up the status of "Mrs. Lin" to Ling Shu?
But if he lets it go, can he keep his promise?
