These people do not dare to say on the surface, but behind the scenes, but the discussion is lively.

The secret eventually reached Xue Xie's ears, and after her initial shock and anger, she fell into deep concern.

She doesn't think this incident is just a simple poisoning, after all, Yu He and her brother's reaction afterwards doesn't look like they just experienced an accident, as Qingcheng Xie's sister, after she calmed down, she is most concerned about her brother's current emotional condition.

Because others had kept her in the dark before, she did not know that Qingcheng Xie had suffered such a thing, and only now, in retrospect, did she understand why Qingcheng Xie was depressed this time, and seemed even more reticent than before.

She wanted to ask Qingcheng Xie about the specific situation, but did not dare to ask, so she had to take it out on Dongheng Wei: "I said at that time that the people I met in that hotel were Yu He and my brother, you said no ...... or else, or I would have ......"

Halfway through, he bit his lip again and couldn't say anything else.

She herself knows that even if she was sure that it was Yu He and Qingcheng Xie, she didn't have the guts to go after them and ask more questions.

The more she thinks about it, the more clues start to come to her mind.

--She once saw Yu He and her brother pulling and tugging their way out of an empty classroom.

During Chinese New Year, she came home to see Yu He and her brother standing in the unlit room with broken vases on the floor.

When she saw the cab picking up passengers, Yu He naturally put his arm around Qingcheng Xie's waist ......

In the heat of the day, Xue Xie's hands and feet were cold from the thought.

Could they have been together that early?

Xue Xie, who had been tossing and turning for several nights with anxiety, finally made up her mind to go to her brother and ask him.

It was summer vacation, and Qingcheng Xie was resting at home instead of living in the janitorial dormitory.

She hesitantly appeared at the door of her house on Moyu Lane with a pile of fruit supplements and looked in the window on her tiptoes to find that Qingcheng Xie was not at home at the moment.

" Xue Xiao?"

Xue Xie looked back and saw Miaoqing Li just coming out of the next room and said, "Aunt Li, where's my brother?"

"I don't know, I think I went out." Miaoqing Li put the laundry and the plastic basin ready for drying on the stone bench next to her, wiped her wet hands on her apron, looked at Xue Xie's face and said with concern, "Come, Xue Xiao, you come here."

She took Xue Xie's hand and asked, "Why are you so haggard? You have dark circles under your eyes? Did something happen to you?"

Xue Xie had been patient for too long, and when she asked, she first cried without thinking, "Aunt Li, I, my brother, he recently-"

The words came out halfway and then reacted.

Although Aunt Li also came to the wedding banquet, but she has been with his side to help, Qingcheng Xie and Yu He's affairs and belong to the secret of the luxury family, currently only in the mouth of those people, Aunt Li may not know.

Xue Xie then stopped talking, and the words stuck in his throat.

Who knows that Aunt Li heard the first half of the sentence, and then combined with Xue Xie's state of mind at the moment, actually trembled and asked: "You ...... also know? Yu He's affair ......"

Xue Xie's eyes widened, and the two women looked at each other for a long time, neither of them picking out the rest of the words, but they both saw the answer in each other's eyes.

Xue Xie suddenly jumped into Aunt Li's arms and finally let out a loud cry.

"......"

"...... things are what they are."

After Miaoqing Li finished telling Xue Xie how she discovered the secret between Yu He and Qingcheng Xie, Xue Xie was still wiping her tears, but she was more angry than the sadness and confusion she felt when she arrived.

After all, what Miaoqing Li had seen and heard before had convinced her that Yu He was a scumbag playboy who had abandoned Qingcheng Xie, and as a result had abandoned him and felt sorry for him, he came back to pull him back, causing Qingcheng Xie to be depressed and depressed.

She talked to Xue Xie about these things, and Xue Xie then made up her mind, and it was even better...

The first thing that happened was that Yu He PUA her brother, a slap on the wrist to give a candy to eat, to seduce people to and then hurt hard, hurt and then sweet words to coax, and the result in Xuan Court made that kind of thing. The big man is now too embarrassed to simply dump Qingcheng Xie, her brother had to digest the pain of not only being cheated and abandoned by a child, but also facing a ruined reputation.

Xue Xie was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "That animal ...... he even dared to play with my brother? No ...... I can't stand it ...... I'll go find him!"

Aunt Li was more sensible and said, "Don't let your brother find out! He's so proud of himself, if he knows that we know about him, he'll feel even worse."

"Don't worry, I'm only looking for Yu He, I'd like to ask him what kind of lard he is ......!"

Xue Xie is now said to be lighter and is Yu He's teacher.

To put it more seriously, she is the wife of the third son of the Wei family, she herself is not too concerned about what status, Dongheng Wei also never take this family gentry things said things, but she went out into the store, those people have to call her a Mrs. Wei.

She is looking for Yu He, who is good enough for the stage in any capacity.

So she didn't expect that Yu He would not answer her calls.

She called seventeen or eighteen times, but Yu He finally just turned off the phone.

"Damn you! Scum!" Xue Xie dropped her phone in anger, stopped a cab and reported the address of the He residence, and the taxi drove her away.

When they arrived outside the He residence, they were greeted by a panicked butler.

The housekeeper used to not put this little Xie girl in the eyes, but now is respectful to Mrs. Wei.

"I want to see Yu He." Xue Xie said with a burst of anger, "Please talk to him and let me in."

The butler didn't dare to be slow and immediately returned to go.

But not long after, he came back trembling, his face full of unease, as if he had something to hide.

"Mrs. Wei." The housekeeper said apprehensively, " Shao He ...... Well, he is physically ill, there is really no way to receive you today, do you think we should do it some other time?"

Xue Xie, no matter how angry she is, there is no reason to break into people's homes.

She stared in exasperation at the brightly lit main building in the distance, and after a while, she noticed several medical personnel coming and going over the main building.

One of them still seems to be ......

She froze for a moment, rubbing her eyes as the somewhat familiar figure disappeared around the corner.

--That person wouldn't be a doctor, either ...... she guessed she was seeing things.

Xue Xie asked the housekeeper in a good-natured manner, "Why is he suddenly sick?"

The housekeeper only smiled sarcastically, with a helpless face that was not convenient to say more.

Xue Xie is not the type of person who would bully the servants once she gets her way. Seeing that the housekeeper was really embarrassed, she stopped asking questions and turned her gaze back to the main floor. This time, she saw the boy standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the third floor.

" Yu He --"

Yu He was talking to a nurse, and because of the distance, Xue Xie could not see the expression on his face, but he was seen with his arms clasped in a completely defensive posture, while the nurse kept her head down and seemed to be apologizing to him. He finally turned his face away from the nurse and caught a distant glimpse of Xue Xie's figure at the villa's front door.

A few moments of stillness.

Yu He suddenly raised his hand and pulled the curtain shut.

Xue Xie was furious but could not do anything about it, so she had to leave. The more she thought about it on the way, the sadder she was. She didn't know how her brother, who was so pure-minded, could be tricked by Yu He, the little brute, and now he was bullied into such an inhuman and ghostly appearance.

...... her brother has never treated Yu He badly, and has cared for him for so many years. That level of concern seems to Xue Xie to be far more than Qingcheng Xie's concern for the ordinary patient.

The first time I saw him, I knew he was unhappy in his marriage and had been lonely and cold for many years, but he still tried to seduce him and ruin him, doing things that were even more outrageous than Ruoqiu Li's cheating.

What did her brother owe him?

How could he do that?

Xue Xie wanted to go back to Moyu Lane to be with Qingcheng Xie, to talk everything out and comfort him. But she also knows that Miaoqing Li's way of handling the situation is the right one, Qingcheng Xie is not the kind of person who has a strong desire to talk, he is used to being alone with a cigarette to quietly endure and digest things.

He did not want anyone to touch his sores, even if it was to heal him.

With this in mind, Xue Xie took out a tissue from her small bag, wiped the tears from her eyes, and was about to put the rest of the tissue back when her cell phone suddenly rang.

"Hello ...... brother?" The phone call was from Qingcheng Xie, Xue Xie tried to maintain the calmness in his voice to keep him from noticing the difference.

"Did you come to Moyu Lane this afternoon?"

"Yes, yes. How do you know?"

"...... You left the fruit at your doorstep."

Xue Xie slapped herself silently on the head - she was a pig brain!

"Where are you now?" Qingcheng Xie's voice was as light as cold water, no ripples could be heard.

Xue Xie Road: "I ...... see that you are not in, I went to the nearby mall to shop ......"

Qingcheng Xie said, "Buy less unnecessary things."

After a pause, he added, "Are you coming back for dinner? Or go home?"

"Back--" Xue Xie choked.

He used to ask her if she was coming home, referring to the small house on Moyu Lane that belonged to the two siblings.

And now, when he asks if she is coming home, he is referring to her new home with Dongheng Wei. Now that she is home, he is the only one left in the cottage on Moyu Lane.

Xue Xie clutched a tissue, and her tearful reflection was blurred in the cab window.

"Hello?" Qingcheng Xie's voice was still calm and magnetic, with some thinly veiled confusion, "Why aren't you talking?"

Xue Xie held back a choking sob until the mouth of her throat became sour and astringent.

She said, "...... No, the signal was bad just now."

Another said, "I came back. Brother, I went back to both of our homes for dinner."

"Oh ...... then when will it arrive?" Qingcheng Xie's voice is still quiet, just the kind of silence that perfectly hides all emotions, but at the moment it makes Xue Xie cone of pain.

"Just another half hour." Xue Xie said softly.

"Good."

Before Qingcheng Xie hung up, she called out to him again, "Brother."

"Hmm? What's going on?"

Xue Xie smiled ugly with tears on her face: "I ...... want to eat Yangzhou fried rice made by you. No need to prepare more, just fry me a bowl of Yangzhou fried rice, OK?"

Qingcheng Xie has brought Xue Xie up since she was a little girl and knows exactly how to take care of people.

When Xue Xie came home and pushed in the door, he had just finished the Yangzhou fried rice with the peas removed and set it on the small table. When he saw Xue Xie come in, he nodded as a greeting, and then turned back to serve her soup.

As soon as the lid was removed, a pungent aroma emerged from the pot of soup.

When she was growing up, Qingcheng Xie didn't have much money, but he would simmer her beef brisket soup twice a week, using the best beef he could buy, and then he would give it all to Xue Xie and only drink a little of the tomato soup and eat a few pieces of potatoes with the soup.

Xue Xie looked at his still tall, but apparently thin figure, his heart saddened, three steps and two steps to walk behind him, reached out and hugged him.

Qingcheng Xie was slightly surprised and put down the soup spoon to look back at her, "What's wrong? Did someone bully you?"

Xue Xie shook her head in his arms and whispered, "I want to hug you."

"......"

Qingcheng Xie's body has a faint smell of tobacco, sterile water, and even some slightly bitter medicine, which is not too good smell, too cold, but Xue Xie smell, but feel at ease.

When the new bride returns to the door, some are going to appear such old-fashioned behavior.

Qingcheng Xie therefore did not think much about it, he sighed and coughed gently, letting Xue Xie hold him for a while before saying, "Let go, the rice is cold."

The siblings sat down at the table.

Qingcheng Xie is indeed a bit disoriented, and the disheveled feeling is even more pronounced now that Xue Xie is pregnant and he can't smoke in front of her at all.

But he is still very handsome, beautiful, his shirt collar is not as tightly buttoned as usual, but loose three buttons, you can see the beautiful lines below the collarbone, and a small piece of jade chest.

He did not look much at Xue Xie when he was eating, he was so preoccupied that his fingers would unconsciously tap the table, that was his habitual action of knocking on the ashes, you can see that he endured it very hard.

Xue Xie whispered, "Brother, you should eat more too."

She took several pieces of beef from the soup and put them into Qingcheng Xie's bowl.

"You've lost all your weight."

Qingcheng Xie originally wanted to ask her to take the meat back, but suddenly realized that Xue Xie was no longer the little girl who looked forward to eating that good meat every week, so she put down her chopsticks.

He collected his thoughts and finally dropped his gaze to Xue Xie's face, ready to talk to his sister for a while about her family affairs after she married.

However, with this glance, Qingcheng Xie was stunned, and suddenly his hands and feet went cold -

On Xue Xie's earlobe, a brand new earring hangs.

Pure gold bone shaped cross, a circle in the middle, set with broken diamonds, diamond color like blood, broken diamonds surrounded by three letters: R.I.P

--

Before the death of both their parents, they finally went to meet a mystery man in the Yanzhou clubhouse ...... The earrings left behind by that mystery man are this!

Exactly the same!!!

Qingcheng Xie rose with a start: " Xue Xie, this earring, where did you get it?"

The year of his parents' death, Qingcheng Xie went to Yanzhou alone to conduct an investigation and was fortunate to receive a tip from a waiter at the club who passed him a photo of the R.I.P cross earrings, saying that after his parents met with the mystery man at the club, he went into the box to clean it and picked up the earrings.

At that time, the cell phones we used were usually Nokia, and the pictures were received by MMS, and the download speed was as slow as a snail.

To this day, he still vividly remembers how the photo slowly opened bit by bit, presenting the face of the mysterious earrings in front of him.

The waiter and he agreed to meet at a hot pot restaurant and originally wanted to give him the pendant, but the hot pot restaurant caught fire and the waiter died, Qingcheng Xie himself was hit by a car and the Nokia phone with the photos was taken.

For nineteen years after this, he only saw the bizarre gold cross in his dreams.

The R.I.P on top of the earrings was like some kind of profound irony, mocking him in his nightmares -

Rest in peace, Qingcheng Xie, and don't investigate any further.

You are like a mayfly, as long as the man behind the curtain is willing, death will be close to you.

But now this earring broke out of his dream and appeared in front of him at a moment when he was completely unexpected, swaying above his newlywed sister's earlobe.

Qingcheng Xie's bones and blood were cold, and he looked at her and repeated in a shaky voice once again, "Where did you get this?"

Xue Xie was startled and touched her ear: "This? This is what my mother-in-law put on me."
