The Little Brat’s Sweet And Sassy Chapter 1184: Dylan

Beep, and the other side picks up.

"Ali?"

Gu Tinglan's voice is smiling,

"Why do you suddenly remember to call me?"

It's rare for her to take the initiative to call.

Shen Li said:

"Little uncle, I accompanied my grandmother to Dutian Villa this morning to see the bright moon."

Gu Tinglan was startled.

He knew that Shen Li had returned to Hong Kong City in the past two days, but the specific itinerary was unclear.

It turned out to be...

"Really? So—how does it feel?"

"It's pretty good." Shen Li said, "It's just a little sticky, it took a long time to appease it before leaving."

Gu Tinglan was silent for a moment, then laughed and sighed:

"Clingy?"

Apart from the fourth sister, it was the first time he heard someone describe Jiaoyue like this from someone else's mouth.

It's been good these years. No one could touch Jiaoyue's violent temper earlier.

Especially after the fourth sister left, Jiaoyue fell into a long period of depression, and after that...

"It probably knows that it's sticking to you."

He sighed.

Shen Li paused, then asked carefully:

"Little uncle, back then... how did the fire start?"

The voice fell, and Gu Tinglan on the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent, as if even breathing was annihilated.

The air freezes, freezes.

After a while, Gu Tinglan said with difficulty:

"Why do I suddenly think of asking this?"

This is a pain that both Gu Jia and Shen Zhijin will never forget.

For nearly two decades, they have been extremely tacit and seldom mentioned.

Because it hurts to the bone marrow when touched.

After recognizing Shen Li, they rarely mentioned it in front of her.

Even, Shen Li accidentally heard from Xu Yin and Yu Pingchuan about many things in those days.

Gu Tinglan never expected that she would take the initiative to ask.

Shen Li was quiet for a moment, then whispered:

"I... see the bright moon today and miss her very much."

No.

She wanted Gu Tingyin, the one who held her child tightly in her arms until she died, the one who originally belonged to her, but she couldn't even call "Mama".

She misses her more than today.

Gu Tinglan's chest hurts, and her heart seems to be run over by something.

They never mentioned the incident to Shen Li, and Shen Li never said such a thing to them.

——She really wants Gu Tingyin.

Everyone knows there's a scar there.

Don't touch anyone, pretend it doesn't exist, as if that would reduce some of the pain.

But how is that possible?

That wound has not healed for many years.

It hurts so much, how can you not feel it?

In fact, she should have asked Shen Zhijin about this matter.

But she can't.

She can't.

So after thinking about it, she could only ask Gu Tinglan.

"I remember when my uncle went to Lincheng before, as if he was investigating this matter?"

Gu Tinglan was quiet for a long time before she said:

"Yes."

He sorted out the tumultuous thoughts in his head.

"I mentioned to you before that the fire actually started from the house downstairs. The man forgot to turn off the valve after cooking in the morning, which caused the natural gas leak. When the water heater was on, it exploded. The kitchen and bathroom are next to each other, so...

At that time, your mother was upstairs with... and the child. The fire started very fast. Your mother had just given birth and was still relatively weak. She had to protect the child, so... could not run out. "

Gu Tinglan closed his eyes.

"In the end... suffocation."

Shen Li didn't speak for a long time.

Gu Tinglan took a deep breath and said:

"Ali, in fact, your mother's due date was July 10, and the family originally said that it would pass when the day was approaching, but I didn't expect you to be born half a month earlier. After receiving the news , the family immediately rushed to Lincheng. However, you also know that it will take a while to get to Lincheng from the port city.

Your mother arrived at the hospital in the morning, and the delivery went well, but... that child has a very serious congenital heart disease, and the hospital in Lincheng couldn't see it. The family discussed transferring it to Yunzhou. At that time, your father... went to contact the hospital in Yunzhou, and it took a lot of preparation to take them to Yunzhou, so he left for a while, really for a while..."

Gu Tinglan's voice choked.

"...when he got everything in order, when he went back..."

No one could have imagined that the fire started at that time.

Shen Li sat on the chair, her eyes slightly lowered, her shoulders straight, but her fingers trembled slightly.

"So all these years your dad couldn't forgive himself."

Even if it really wasn't his fault.

Who could have predicted what would happen next?

If there were not so many people blocking the scene, Shen Zhijin would have died inside.

In the end, he knelt down outside the fire in despair, watching his life also burn, and eventually turned into a black ash of nothingness.

Disappears.

From now on, there is no difference between living and dead.

Shen Li listened without moving.

She suddenly remembered that the night of the paternity test, she persuaded Shen Zhijin, saying that it was too cold and his injury had not healed, so he should go back first.

He said he wasn't qualified to ask her for anything, but he should have been waiting for that night's qualifications.

I didn't know it at the time, but now that I think about it, I realize how much unspeakable pain is hidden under those words.

——He didn't even have a chance to come back, he could only suffer day and night.

Endure, suffer, be silent, day and night.

She lowered her head slightly, her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and a small dark trace was smeared on her jeans.

She closed her eyes, trying to keep her voice as calm as possible.

"It was in the morning, why did that person suddenly go to take a shower?"

Gu Tinglan condensed:

"We have always been suspicious of this. But there was no evidence of death, and the police didn't find anything. In the end, we had to let it go and decide that it was an accident. It was not until a few years ago that we accidentally discovered that, The group of kidnappers who tried to kidnap your mother before had a secret relationship with a person with a title for a period of time. This person may have also participated in the kidnapping, and may even be the mastermind behind the scenes. It is a pity that the dialogue between them The content has been erased, and only a foreign number can be found, and that number corresponds to a non-existent person.”

The clue is interrupted at this point, and the other party is obviously hiding his identity.

Shen Li remembers this person.

"My uncle said that when the fire broke out, that person had returned to China?"

"Yes. Because at that time, on a flight from abroad to China, that person used that fake passport again~IndoMTL.com~ Gu Tinglan shook his head, "Unfortunately, when we found out about this, It has been more than ten years since the incident, and the investigative methods were limited back then, and the person should have been disguised when he entered the country. So although he knew that he had returned to China, he was sinking into the sea, and he couldn't find any more news. "

"In the following years, the fake passport was never used again, and we had no way to start. But the kidnapping and the fire, both of which have his shadow, so..."

So, have to wonder.

Shen Li thought for a while, then suddenly asked:

"Is my uncle and Shi Yang familiar?"

－－－－－－off topic－－－－－－

Okay, I admit, I said before that Shen Zhijin didn't feel sorry for himself, it was all my self-comfort and self-deception.

My eyes are swollen from crying for him.

The swollen-eyed February sent a good night.
