Inertia gentle

Chapter 44 Guilt

When Xie Chengjing came home, Grandfather Xie was sitting in front of the chess table in the living room picking up chess pieces.

"I'm back." Xie Chengjing said.

Grandfather Xie didn't look up, his face was stinky.Until Xie Cheng sat down quietly and helped him put the black and white chess pieces into their respective boxes.

"Is the company busy recently?"

Xie Chengjing said: "Some things need to be dealt with."

Grandfather Xie snorted: "I heard that you are not busy with your own business."

He chatted with his old friend on the phone just now, and then he realized that Xie Chengjing didn't come back for dinner because he took a junior from the Ye family to talk with his old friend's son.

If it's a matter of work, it's fine, and when can't talk about it, but this afternoon, I would rather work overtime to help others than come back.

Immediately felt unhappy.

When Xie Chengjing heard grandfather Xie's tough questioning, she didn't take it seriously, but just avoided the serious ones: "I have calculations in my heart."

This attitude didn't calm down Grandpa Xie, on the contrary, he was even more displeased. He frowned: "What's the fuss? I don't care what kind of tricks the Ye family is fighting, what grievances and grievances they have, what's going on with your meddling, for no reason Make people think that we are bullying others?"

Xie Chengjing didn't like others to interfere with his behavior, and said calmly after hearing the words: "You don't need to worry about this matter, I know it well, it doesn't matter what others think."

Grandfather Xie raised his eyebrows, and looked at him sharply: "Now I just say a few words to control you?"

Speaking of this, Xie Chengjing is not happy.

Grandfather Xie spoke bad words when he came in, and Xie Chengjing didn't need to think about it to know that she was hated by the other party.

Seeing that the two of them were either arguing again or breaking up, Grandfather Xie noticed that Xie Chengjing had brought a box with him and put it on the table.

"What is this?" Grandpa Xie asked.

Xie Chengjing: "Tea." Thinking of Ye Yi's words, he said again: "I heard that warm black tea is suitable for drinking in winter."

Grandpa Xie picked it up and took a look: "How can there be Jin Junmei now?"

Although I suspect that my grandson bought the tea from the previous year, it is only this sentence.

After all, it is rare to have a heart...

Grandfather Xie's face softened, he put the box in the cabinet under the case, he paused when he spoke again, he didn't bring up the topic just now, and he didn't speak with anger, he said: "Come and accompany me for a while." let's play."

The two chatted for a while while playing chess, Grandfather Xie suddenly remembered that junior from the Ye family, he knew that the other party was Xie Chengjing's friend.

"That... from the Ye family?"

"Ye Yi." Xie Chengjing said.

Grandfather Xie: "You have not been back to China, did you just meet?"

Xie Chengjing shook her head: "In college, he was my junior."

Grandfather Xie always felt that this child who was brought up by himself and had a rather cold personality seemed to be unusually gentle when he mentioned the other party.

He vaguely noticed a trace of strangeness.

Before judging what was wrong, Xie Chengjing, who was usually taciturn, spoke again, "He was worried that you would blame me for being late, and he chose this gift."

Grandfather Xie muttered when he heard the words, so he didn't want to give it away, but he had a better impression of Ye Yi.

If it is such a long time friend, it is not unreasonable to help him.

"Since you have helped, help as much as you can."

Xie Chengjing hummed.

"By the way, Aunt Zhang heard that you were coming back at night and made coconut cakes. I remember you like this."

Xie Chengjing was a little surprised. Grandfather Xie was surprisingly gentle today, but he cared about these trivial matters, which was rare in the past. Perhaps the change in the other party's attitude began when he found out that he had sent a box of tea.When he first came in, the other party still told him that his nose was not his nose and his eyes were not his eyes.

Although he loves to eat coconut cake... It should be before the age of seven.

Xie Chengjing didn't say this, but agreed.

Aunt Zhang helped bring over the coconut cakes, looked at him and smiled, "You haven't been back for a long time, the room has been tidied up this afternoon... now I'm going to help you make the bed?"

Xie Chengjing originally wanted to go back after sitting down for a while, but glanced at Grandpa Xie who had already brewed a cup of Jin Junmei and was drinking, and nodded: "It's troublesome."

Unlike Xie's family, which had a quite happy atmosphere, on the other side of the same city, Ye's house was not very peaceful today.

When Xiao Liu entered Ye's house, it was the same as his initial impression, big and gorgeous, quiet and empty.

It's just that the mourning hall, wreaths, black and white photos and people coming and going to express condolences are missing when I first saw it.

Especially the black and white photo of the Ye family hanging in the hall.

That photo made him feel ashamed, guilty and sad.

When he came to express his condolences, he felt that the two people in the photo were watching him silently, with silent condemnation, while the wind, rain, lightning and thunder outside the house seemed to be angry at his cowardice. He couldn't stand it and ran to the back door and just wanted to hide , and then saw the teenager sitting alone by the back door.

He knew that the teenager was the couple's child.

He had already lost his parents at such a young age, and the look in his eyes looking at the wind and rain outside was so lonely that it made people feel distressed. Xiao Liu couldn't imagine what he would think when he faced the mourning hall and the house full of wreaths alone after all the mourners had left, but he He didn't even have the courage to go forward to comfort him, so he left quietly.

Ye Zhili took off his suit jacket and folded up the cuffs of his shirt, "Speak upstairs."

Xiao Liu came back to his senses, followed Ye Zhili upstairs, and when he was walking towards the study, he suddenly said in a low voice: "Don't you have a bad conscience?"

Ye Zhili, who was walking in front, looked back at him blankly.

"will not."

He answered without hesitation.

Xiao Liu heard a hint of anger on his face, and raised his head before he could speak, when a series of movements came from not far away.

Ye Zhili's attention was attracted, and he walked over quickly: "What's going on?"

The housekeeper said: "The cleaner I hired before was temporarily busy, and the one who came to replace him didn't understand the rules and entered the master bedroom..."

"I'm sorry... I don't know..." The cleaner was very nervous, especially Ye Zhili's face became more and more ugly.

Ye Zhili pushed away the cleaner and walked into the master bedroom. Over the years, the furnishings here have not changed, and it still maintains the appearance when the master left before his death, only he would go in occasionally.

Everyone knows that this room is a forbidden area, and no one will enter at the risk of offending Ye Zhili, and Ye Zhili just forgot to lock the door this time, and even let a cleaner who doesn't know the rules break in. Now he carefully guards the room. Everything is ruined.

Ye Zhili took away the rag, and put the decorations that had been placed on the chairs by the cleaners back on the table that had been wiped spotless, as if he wanted to restore the original appearance, but it was in vain.

There are also some cleaning tools in the middle of the room.

He scowled and looked around.

The cleaner was startled by the other person's appearance and kept apologizing. The housekeeper sighed and said to him, "Go back and explain to your leader."

Ye Zhili yelled at him: "Let your boss wait for the court summons!"

The cleaner was frightened and stupid, knowing that he had caused a catastrophe, he almost cried.

In the end, the cleaner was persuaded away by the housekeeper, and he will probably bear heavy consequences for his unintentional behavior.

When Ye Zhili calmed down, he panted and asked the housekeeper not to touch the room until he came back.

Xiao Liu stood by and watched all this, feeling ironic.

When passing the corner, Ye Zhili accidentally knocked down the small table with the vase in the corner,

"Boom..."

The vase tumbled on the carpet, spilling water.

Ye Zhili froze at the same spot, his eyes were attracted by something, and he stared at the carpet.

Xiao Liu looked over, the water flowed out of the bottle, smudged the carpet, and after a while, it spread and soaked Ye Zhili's feet, like a tide coming ashore.

Ye Zhili took a step back in surprise.

Xiao Liu immediately understood what Ye Zhili was thinking.

It wasn't until the housekeeper discovered the situation and hurried over to deal with it that Ye Zhili came to his senses and left, not daring to look any further, and walked quickly into the study.

"I didn't expect Mr. Ye to be afraid sometimes."

As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Liu said, gloating as if venting a bad breath.

Ye Zhili took a breather: "Just because you are worthy of talking to me like this?"

Xiao Liu stopped talking and just looked at him angrily.

"If it wasn't for me, you would either be in prison now, or your family would go bankrupt and your wife and children would be separated, and you would pay off your debts for the rest of your life." Ye Zhili said.

"It's all you!" Hearing this, Xiao Liu suddenly became excited. He was always too cowardly to express his dissatisfaction easily, but now he jumped to accuse Ye Zhili: "You were the one who buried the truth back then, and you were the one who lied to me! If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be what I am now, and I wouldn't live in guilt all day long."

He said painfully: "I also made mistakes, but if you hadn't lied to me then and threatened me afterwards, I wouldn't have come to where I am now step by step."

Ye Zhili saw the other party bowing down in remorse, and his expression was very cold: "Don't forget, your car is still with me. I can help you cover it up, and I can also make the case come out again. You know that hit and run for so many years as a result of."

Xiao Liu's face turned pale: "Okay, then you can't escape either."

Ye Zhili showed a triumphant smile: "You have no evidence."

At this point, he has always been sure to do well.Back then Ye Xiuwen praised him as a very careful person...

Xiao Liu: "I've had enough."

Ye Zhili said: "Then what about your three children who are still in school?"

Xiao Liu showed a look of despair.

"Now, you have a chance to get rid of all this, don't you?" Ye Zhili said again, his voice was even gentle, as if he was thinking of him sincerely, "I will return the car to you, and you will take your family away and never come back, even I can still give you some money, and you will have a good life in the future."

Xiao Liu's face was dull, and he gave a candy with a stick. Ye Zhili knew this well before, so he wouldn't believe it at all, but he also knew that he had no choice.

"I know."

Ye Zhili was satisfied. He walked to the table and suddenly felt a little headache. This was an old problem. He supported the table and opened the drawer to take out the medicine and took two pills.

While drinking water, he said: "Don't worry, I don't want to cause trouble for myself. What happened back then is just a secret between you and me."

He lowered his voice as he spoke, looking at the water in the cup, the lake water in that night suddenly poured in from his memory, the cool, dark water, the lake surface that finally calmed down in the night.

His mind was distracted, "You ask me if I can't live with my conscience, it's enough for me to get what I want, why should I feel guilty, what's the use?"

"It's like if you ask me what medicine I take, for headaches and insomnia, I don't know? Take it out and take it."

Ye Zhili actually laughed at the end, like crazy.

Xiao Liu is also in a daze now, and doesn't pay attention to the other party's condition.

Ye Zhili laughed and said, "I almost forgot, I'll get you the key."

He opened a hidden compartment of a drawer, and then took out a long special key, his eyes stopped when he looked at a certain position on the wall, he woke up, and turned to Xiao Liu.

"You go downstairs first, and I'll give it to you after I get it."

Xiao Liu walked out, passing the long corridor in a trance, and saw that the door of the master bedroom of the Ye family was still open, and thought to himself, this is obviously Ye Yi's parents' room, and it should be Ye Yi's things, but Ye Zhili occupied it. To own it, as if it were the owner.

Suddenly, with a jolt, a certain string in Xiao Liu's mind was magically touched.What Ye Yi has should be more than these.Although he didn't know what method Ye Zhili used, he knew that the Ye couple would not leave their property to Ye Zhili, so he must have used some method.

Thinking of Ye Zhili's absent-minded behavior in the study just now, what else is hidden besides the key to lock his truck's warehouse where his eyes are looking?
