Chapter 43: Sacrifice
"Zhixin." When Huo Mian answered the phone, her tone was pampering.
"Sister, are you resting today?"
"right."
"Then let's visit Dad's grave at noon."
"Okay." Even if Zhixin didn't make this call, Huo Mian still planned to go.
It has been seven years since Uncle Jing passed away, and this day seven years ago was the day Uncle Jing had a car accident.
"I went with my mother in the morning. She was not in a good mood. I will accompany you there at noon."
"Do you have no class today?"
"No, I will go to the library to study in the afternoon."
"Okay, then wait for me, we will meet at the gate of the cemetery later."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Huo Mian's mood suddenly became dull...
I still remember that night seven years ago, when she was on her way back from cram school, a black Buick business rushed towards her, and she had no time to dodge.
At this moment, Uncle Jing who came to pick her up from school suddenly rushed out and pushed her away.
In the end, she just watched Uncle Jing die under the wheel... blood flowed like a river.
She was only slightly injured and scratched a little, but Uncle Jing took his life.
If it wasn't for her, Uncle Jing wouldn't have died...
At first, she thought it was just a traffic accident, but later when she knew that the driver who caused the accident was the Qin family's driver, she was dumbfounded.
The Qin family is so bold that they don't have to avoid suspicion by buying a murderer. Do they want to use their own driver to fight in person?
These wealthy families don't take the common people seriously, and the mother and younger brother are heartbroken.
She went to court again and again to sue the driver who caused the accident. At this time, the Qin family had already sent Qin Chu abroad.
But she alone endured the unbearable pressure of these normal people. In the end, they insisted on giving up the compensation.
The driver who caused the accident had to go to prison for the crime, but he was only sentenced to five years for drunk driving.
At that time, she also deeply felt the unfairness, the gap between the rich and the poor.
I also know that with such a background, I will never be able to blend in with a wealthy family like the Qin family.
It was also at that time that she completely gave up the idea of being with Qin Chu...
Putting away these heavy memories, Huo Mian washed her face, put on black trousers and black short sleeves, and went out wearing black sunglasses. When she passed by a flower shop, she bought another bouquet of white chrysanthemum.
Because the cemetery is in the suburbs, it takes three transfers, so it was almost noon when we arrived at the cemetery.
"Sister." Jing Zhixin waved at Huo Mian from a distance.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Huo Mian pampered Jing Zhixin's head.
"Not long, only ten minutes, sister, you seem to have lost weight recently, do you have too many night shifts?"
Facing his younger brother's concern, Huo Mian just smiled lightly, "No, I lost weight recently."
The siblings then entered the cemetery together and placed flowers in front of Uncle Jing's tombstone.
There are also fruit and flower baskets sent by my mother in the morning.
"Zhixin, these years, have you blamed me like your mother did?" Huo Mian took off her sunglasses with a sad look on her face.
Jing Zhixin glanced at the older sister beside him and reacted quite strongly, "Sister, what are you talking about? How could I? You can't blame you for what happened back then. The Qin family are bad people. If Dad doesn't die, you will die too. You all Is my dearest person."
"But if I hadn't ignored the warning and fell in love with Qin Chu, there wouldn't have been such a tragedy." Huo Mian bit her lip, deeply blaming herself.
After Jing Zhixin listened, he said something that surprised Huo Mian. She couldn't believe it was said by her nineteen-year-old brother.
