Chapter 102
Xi Mo finished delivering the flowers, but he was still reluctant to leave and looked at the tombstone from afar.
Not long after her mother gave birth to her, she passed away only a few years later. At that time, she was too young, and her impression of her mother was actually not clear, even in many cases it was ambiguous, but this did not affect her feelings for her mother.
Especially after her mother’s death, Xi Ji brought her to worship every year, at least four times a year. Over time, it has become a habit.
Counting the rest of the time in this villa, once, just go and look at the cemetery. The photos on the tombstone are already clearly engraved in my heart.
Xi Mo stood there looking for a long time, Ruan Yesheng was busy with his work, turned around, and looked at her.
Ruan Yesheng knew that Xi Mo would worship outside, but now that she was alone, she felt sour. As a daughter, if you want to pay tribute to your mother, you have to be separated by a remote barrier.
She took a few steps forward subconsciously, originally wanting Xi Mo to come in, but remembering what Xi Mo told her, she had to stop again and sighed silently.
But her movement attracted Xi Ji’s attention.
Xi Ji looked at Ruan Yesheng’s sight and also found Xi Mo outside the guardrail.
“Is it Xiao Ruan standing outside?” Xi Ji asked Ruan Yesheng.
Ruan Yesheng was startled and quickly said, “Yes, Dad.”
Xi Ji nodded and walked towards the guardrail. Ruan Yesheng quickly followed.
Xi Mo found that Xi Ji was approaching her, and she was panicked for a moment, neither walking nor walking, she had to wait for Xi Ji with a scalp.
“Little Nguyen.” Xi Ji walked to the guardrail and looked down at the white chrysanthemum on the ground. The tone was rather gentle.
Xi Mo quickly lowered his head to explain: “Uncle Xi, I’m sorry. I heard Xi Mo said on the plane yesterday that today was her mother’s day of abstinence and I thought of coming to worship. But I was too afraid to be too presumptuous. Some flowers were quietly sent outside. It was my rudeness to wander outside your villa without your permission, and please uncle Xi forgive me. “
“It’s okay.” Xi Ji said, “Xiao Ruan, you’re too polite. Since you’re here, how can you stand outside, come in and let me open the door for you.”
He took out his mobile phone, and instructed him briefly on the phone, and said: “The door will open after a while, you go first, Xiao Ruan.”
Ruan Yesheng was still a little nervous. Now that Xi Ji took the initiative to invite Xi Mo, he was relieved and said to Xi Mo: “I’ll pick you up in the past.”
“Okay.” Xi Mo looked at her and thanked Xi Ji again: “Thank you Uncle Xi.”
Carefully picked up the white chrysanthemum on the ground, Xi Mo went to the door of the villa.
Ruan Yesheng trot all the way, and when Xi Mo appeared at the gate, Ruan Yesheng had already arrived, with a slight breath.
There were surprises on her face. Seeing that there was no one else around, she leaned over to Xi Mo and said softly, “I didn’t expect that Uncle Xi let you in. Now you can stay with your mother for a while, it’s nice . “
Xi Mo looked at her and said, “I didn’t expect it. But I can see it now. My dad’s impression of you should be pretty good, otherwise he won’t invite him.”
Ruan Yesheng’s eyes lit up: “Really?”
Xi Mo nodded.
Ruan Yesheng naturally held Xi Mo’s arm, Xi Mo looked at the hand she held, and said nothing, and walked with her to the villa.
The two came to the tombstone, and Xi Mo said hello to Xi Ji: “Uncle Xi, bother.”
“Don’t disturb.” Xi Ji said: “You are a good friend of Xi Mo. Jian Qin knows you will be very happy to see her.”
Xi Mo looked at the tombstone.
In addition to the photos, the time of birth and death of her mother, Jian Yuan, is also engraved on it.
Ruan Yesheng brought her a handful of white chrysanthemums again, and Xi Mo combined the handful of white chrysanthemums with the ones he brought with him, and carefully placed them on the stage where flowers were placed in front of the tombstone.
She stood in front of her mother’s tomb, but didn’t know what to say.
When Jane died so young, she looked at her mother’s picture. The word “aunt” was really unspeakable, but she couldn’t call her mother in her current situation.
So she could only bow silently, thinking in her heart: Mom, I came to see you.
Jane’s eyebrows in the photo are delicate, and she seems to be looking at her tenderly.
The chilling autumn wind blows the flowers and trees in the backyard, and also blows the soft petals of white chrysanthemum.
The worship ended in a quiet and solemn atmosphere. After so many years, time has diminished the sadness of death. Xi Mo and her father have already accepted this reality.
There is no need to shed tears at the tombstone, let alone sorrow and sorrow, everything is calm, as if Jian Yuan is still with them.
Ruan Yesheng knew nothing about Xi Mo’s mother, Jian Yuan. If Xi Mo didn’t tell her, she wouldn’t even know the name of Jian Yuan.
Last night she stayed in the villa for one night and saw some relics of Jane, but she still knew very little.
Not only that, Ruan Yesheng looked at Xi Mo and suddenly realized that she actually did not know enough about Xi Mo.
Even though she and Xi Mo spent their college careers, read all of Xi Mo’s works, and chased her shining footprints all the way, and could capture her extremely subtle expression in various media reports, she was still not familiar enough she was.
The two stayed in a room on the second floor. Ruan Yesheng asked Xi Mo: “Can I easily know some things about your mother? Yesterday I was afraid of filling and I didn’t dare to talk to your dad. I was afraid that he would talk to me Talk about your mother ’s affairs, and I do n’t know. ”
“Yes.” Xi Mo held the photo frame of her mother’s life, looked at it, and said, “But what I know about my mother is very limited. When she left, I was very young, and my father I usually do n’t talk to me much, and I can hear from my dad about my mom ’s content very little. “
“Then you always know your mother’s occupation?” Ruan Yesheng said.
“She is a businessman like my dad.” Xi Mo’s eyes fell on an ancient rhyme vase: “But the direction of her business is different from that of my dad. My dad is a multi-party investment, my mom only specializes in one, she Only do antique auctions. “
“Antique auction?” Ruan Yesheng suddenly realized: “No wonder so many antique decorations in this villa are all your mother’s favorite, right?”
Xi Mo nodded: “My mother has a lot of channels related to auctions. In fact, I don’t know much about this. Even the place where she holds the auction is not known. Only her knowledgeable people in that circle know this. “
Xi Mo has also participated in some auctions before, but they are all charity auctions. Charity auctions such as the entertainment circle are everywhere, and most of them are used to show love or hype. The auction items are varied, from jewelry to clothing, etc., basically provided by stars.
But she knew that the kind of auction her mother held was definitely different from this kind of auction.
That is very private.
Sometimes, no one knows where the auction items come from, and the background is even more complicated.
At auctions like that, most people dare not touch them. Only those in the antiques industry who have a bad eye and high means can play.
“I don’t understand too.” Ruan Yesheng thought for a moment and said, “But Huan should be very understandable. She has also participated in many antique auctions before, which is the kind you said, and most people don’t give in.”
“Yan Tinghuan also does antiques?” Xi Mo was a little surprised.
“She doesn’t do antiques. But she knows many people in the antiques industry. She didn’t go to auctions to participate in auctions. She said she was looking for something. She didn’t say what she was looking for, but she didn’t find it for so many years.
“That’s right.” Ruan Yesheng said this, and added: “If you want to know the auction that your mother has held before, and you dare not ask your dad, then I can help you ask and listen. She knows so If you have more people in this line, if you tell her your mother ’s name, you might know it. “
Xi Mo lowered his eyelashes and said for a while: “Forget it, don’t ask, this is something that happened many years ago.”
“Okay, then don’t ask.” Ruan Yesheng looked at her in a bad mood, and her voice softened a lot.
“Do you still have questions to ask me?” Xi Mo put Jane’s picture back on the table.
“No.” Ruan Yesheng said quickly.
“Do you want to know how my mother died?” Xi Mo’s eyes deepened.
Ruan Yesheng’s lips moved, and he finally stopped talking.
Today is Jane’s death day. Ask this question, Xi Mo should be sad.
Ruan Yesheng wanted to know, but she didn’t want to really ask the exit.
Xi Mo spoke slowly: “My mother died in a car accident. Her car collided with another car, and the other car was overspeeding and hit badly. She was taken to the hospital and rescued After a day, I still couldn’t save it. “
Ruan Yesheng looked solemn.
“I didn’t see her in the end.” Xi Mo looked at the picture looking at Jian Yuan and whispered: “I was only five years old at that time, so ignorant, Uncle Ding said the family wouldn’t let me visit my mother. I was scared to scare me when I was dying. Even I did n’t know what death meant specifically. Gradually, I realized that Mom would never come back. “
Ruan Yesheng put his hand on Xi Mo’s back and patted it gently.
Xi Mo turned his head and looked at Ruan Yesheng: “My mother left, but the driver who hit her but picked up a life, was rescued and came back, and she didn’t even go to jail. It’s not fair.”
“Why?” Ruan Yesheng surprised and said: “No jail?”
“The evidence is sufficient. The driver was in the car at that time and was taken to the hospital.” Xi Mo said coldly: “But the driver kept insisting that it wasn’t him who crashed, and he was crazy behind. Finally, he made an appraisal and determined that it was really crazy. Was sent to a nursing home to be locked. “
Ruan Yesheng thinks more and more strange.
If there is sufficient evidence, with Xi Ji’s character and ability, the end of this matter should not be like this.
With Xi Ji’s contacts, it was easy to convict the driver and pay the price he deserved.
Xi Ji loves his wife Jane so much, how can he accept that the perpetrators were just being detained in a nursing home?
“Your father did not take any measures at that time?” Ruan Yesheng asked.
“It was my dad who sent the driver to the nursing home.” Xi Mo sighed: “My dad gives that nursing home a generous fee every year to let the nursing home take good care of the driver and make sure that he can always live well. These are Uncle Ding told me that when I was a kid, I didn’t understand very much. I thought my dad didn’t ask my mother for justice, and even hated him a little bit. Uncle Ding said that my dad was making the right choice. He did it all for my mom’s sake. “
“This is very strange.” Ruan Yesheng said: “I don’t think anything is right. Uncle Xi is not like someone who can do this. Does he have other reasons to do so as a last resort?”
“Later when I grow up, I thought about it like you, because it doesn’t look like my dad’s style.” Xi Mo said: “Do you remember when I was a sophomore, I did not participate in the rehearsal, I didn’t ask for leave. Teacher Wang didn’t reach me for a long time, and he was so angry? “
“Remember, remember.” Ruan Yesheng nodded. “You are the most optimistic student of Teacher Wang. That’s the first time we saw her because you are so angry that you are scared to speak.”
“I quietly went to the nursing home that day, and I lost my phone.” Xi Mo said.
