Chapter 9
Evidence showed that, no matter how much time had passed, the pain of losing a child never eased.
“Miss Song, are you okay?”
When I came to, I realized Zhou Chenming had already helped me outside.
Perhaps he noticed my pale face and near fainting, that was why he took me outside.
“Sorry, I am really not in good shape today!”
“It’s understandable. Places where people have died always have a heavy aura. Many people can’t cope with it.”
I gave a bitter smile.
It’s not that I couldn’t cope, but rather, this place is my hell.
I asked Zhou Chenming for a cigarette.
After smoking it, I mustered up some energy and went back in again.
Minutes later, I ran out as if I was escaping.
Only then did I understand Zhou Chenming’s words, this case is a tough battle!
Because, the scene didn’t reveal any flaws.
There were no signs of damage on the doors or windows.
The fire started in the kitchen. All the kitchen appliances had safety valves, no explosions occurred, nothing was damaged…
All evidence suggested, this was a man-made disaster.
When we were leaving, a man was at the entrance, negotiating with the security guard, trying to get in, but the guard refused.
I peeked from the car window, it was Ding Yinuo.
What was he doing here?
He stood beside the car, he stared at me with cold eyes, a smirk on his face.
After leaving Zhou Chenming, I squatted at the side of the road, crying like a fool.
That kind of heartache, people who haven’t experienced it would never understand.
After I finished crying, I stood up again, wiped my tears, and continued walking onward.
My phone rang, it was a text message from Wenya.
“The photos in your phone’s album have been recovered. Come and have a look, meet at the usual place.”
Wenya originally planned to meet at nine o’clock because she had a class on Wednesday night.
I was already there waiting at half past eight, she came back after nine.
“Sorry, I’m late!”
Wenya was sweating profusely, in her usual rush, nothing had changed.
“It’s fine, it’s late anyway!”
I ordered a cold drink for Wenya.
Only then did she take her phone out from her bag,
“Oh boy, this guy, Jiang Jing’s friend’s husband, sure knows how to boast. He claimed that he used to be a technical director at a well-known cell phone company!”
I took Wenya’s phone and flipped through the stolen shots in her album.
There were quite a few photos, around ten.
But none of them showed the woman’s face.
However, it was clear that he was indeed the one who drove this woman to a hotel.
The woman wore a white trench coat and red high heels, she was a voluptuous mature woman.
As Wenya flipped through the photos, she couldn’t help cursing.
“Gu Yuanzhou, that scumbag! If it weren’t for the Song Family who took a liking to him, would he be where he is today? He’s forgotten his roots! Just by looking, you can tell that woman is a cheap slut…”
I stared at the photo in a daze.
“So, do you recognize her?”
I shook my head,
“It’s not Ye Mengyan!”
“Ye what Yan?”
I roughly told her about my recent encounters with Ye Mengyan.
After listening, Wenya’s first reaction was,
“Hmm, does it mean the lovers can only be one? Look at that gambler king, he married nine wives. Let me tell you, men these days, none of them are good! It’s quite normal for them to have several women…”
Actually, no matter who it was, it proved Gu Yuanzhou betrayed me. I was determined to look into it.
Just somehow, if it wasn’t Ye Mengyan, I felt it would be a little bit easier to bear.
“Ayun, don’t be too hard on yourself. Leave that jerk behind and move on. Open your eyes wider in this lifetime and find a good man to marry.”
“Yes! I must have been blind in my last lifetime.”
“Come on, let’s drink together!”
I indeed needed alcohol to numb myself.
These days, I have been putting on a brave face, but the pain inside is unimaginable.
With the company of my close friends, I drank until I was drunk as a lord. 𝖋𝖗𝖊𝖊𝔴𝖊𝖇𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑.𝖈𝖔𝖒
Grabbing the microphone, I screamed, venting out all my sadness.
In my daze, I had a dream.
In the dream, I was still a happy mother, holding my two treasures in my arms.
Until a light stung my eyes.
I raised my hand to shield my eyes, then slowly let go. Only then I found myself back in the rental room.
There was a figure busy in the kitchen, humming a song.
The room was a living room connected to a dining room, in fact, the dining room was just a small part of the living room next to the window.
The dining table used to be cluttered with miscellaneous items, but today it was neatly cleared and a few dishes were set on it.
Mapo Tofu, Steamed Pork Ribs…
“You’re awake?”
Ye Mengyan came out of the kitchen and put the last plate of stir-fried pork with green peppers on the table.
“Um, how did I get back?”
“Well, last night I was passing by Nanhang Road with a classmate, you got out of the taxi and were vomiting at the side of the road. The taxi driver left you there and ran, so I asked you where you live and you gave me this address, I brought you back. I was worried something might happen to you, so I stayed with you till today.”
Reminded by Ye Mengyan, I remember that I drank too much last night, but Wenya was even more drunk than me. After I grabbed a taxi for her, I managed to get one for myself.
“Thanks!”
“Why so formal, we’re friends… anyway, you should go brush your teeth and have some food! You have to go to work later, right?”
“Okay!”
When I came out after brushing my teeth, Ye Mengyan had already served my rice.
Looking at the time, it was already eleven in the afternoon, I had been sleeping for a very long time.
“Did you buy these dishes?”
“Yes, it’s quite convenient to buy groceries here, as there’s a market just in the next lane.”
“Really, you shouldn’t have!”
“It’s nothing, I just got paid yesterday. Just think of it as a meal together, something a bit special. Homemade, it’s economical and much cheaper than eating out.”
“What did you get paid for?”
“Oh, work-study! I’m a fashion design major, and one of the main courses is drawing. I teach drawing to a group of kindergarten kids, a hundred dollars per lesson.”
“That’s great, being self-reliant!”
“Yes! I also participated in this scholarship program…”
Ye Mengyan opened her phone, on some app she could specifically donate to impoverished students.
I saw that she was donating to a child every month.
“You really have a heart for charity, don’t you?”
“I want to pass on Sis Song’s goodwill!”
Looking at Ye Mengyan’s sincere smile, I was slightly lost in thought, then lowered my head, picked up a chopstick-full of food and put it in my mouth.
The taste was so familiar.
A taste I had for so many years, I could tell as soon as I tasted it.
It tasted like the food that maid Wu Jun cooked, she had a distinctive way of cooking, that is, not adding ginger,
I took another close look at these dishes, all of them had one thing in common, that is, they didn’t have ginger.
With a familiar taste and similar cooking methods, I couldn’t help but have doubts.
Curiously, I asked,
“Mengyan, why didn’t you add ginger slices?”
“Oh, ginger is too spicy, it’s not good to eat too much… why, it’s not good?”
“It’s delicious, but I didn’t expect you to have such good cooking skills! Where did you learn this from?”
After this compliment from me, Ye Mengyan was in a good mood and smiled,
“I learned it from my mom! She used to own a restaurant and was a chef when she was young!”
