Chapter 9 Chapter nine

It took a month for Xing Le to leave work and go home to see his mother.He longs to see Bo Young again, whom he hasn't seen in two years.The reason for asking for leave was my mother's sudden illness, so the company had to reluctantly grant me a two-month leave.The voyage just to live here will take nearly a month. An accident happened, which added a lot of trouble to him before leaving.He wasn't quite in the holiday mood. One day at three o'clock, Weisheng called and said he wanted to see him. Wu Aili is dead. What? suicidal.I got the news from the agency.can i see you now

Xing Le said, probably not, but he will come to see him as soon as work is over.I'll wait for you downstairs at five o'clock, Wei Sheng said.The evening news will come out. Xing Le was quite shocked.He had seen her three weeks ago.He thought of her voice, her smile. Wei Sheng was already waiting for him at the door of the office.As soon as the two met, his friend looked up at him keenly. Did you see this?Wei Sheng pointed to an evening newspaper in his hand and said. Xing Le took the newspaper.Seeing the title, the eyebrows were deeply locked.The big characters read: The rich daughter commits suicide.Frustrated in love.

He shivered, his lips felt dry.No details were published in the newspaper.She died from taking a lot of sleeping pills.Because she often got up very late, the maid didn't find her body until eleven o'clock.She did not leave a suicide note, and Mrs. Wu refused to meet reporters. The Wu family was a prominent family in the social world, and this kind of news became the first page news.Xing Le's name was not mentioned in the article.Citing an unverified source, they said she was in a bad mood and locked herself in her room for several days.The motive for her suicide is mostly guessed by the public who likes romantic stories.There is no doubt that she has many boyfriends who walk around her house, or drive her out with her.Xing Leke never asked her out.

Never before had he encountered such a connected tragedy. how?Wei Sheng asked. I don't know.I haven't seen her for almost a month. They stood on the covered porch. bring it on.Let's find a place to sit.We need to have a good talk.They walked south two streets.Walk through the narrow alleys to the broad avenues.It had just rained heavily for an hour, and the hot sidewalk was emitting light smoke, mixed with the smell of gasoline and the salty sea water. They enter a cafe on the left.The rattan mat shutters were half drawn, and the room was dark.Looking out from the small hole in the rattan mat, you can see the whitened sea, the ships heading for the Indonesian islands, and the tugboats shuttling in the harbor.

The two of them occupied a window seat, and the red fake leather seat cover was tattered, which showed that it had been used for a long time.A ceiling fan whined overhead. Wei Sheng ordered two guests of whiskey. also good.I need a big drink. Xing Le was downcast and sat on a chair against the wall.Wei Sheng turned his back to the window, scratched his hair with his fingers, and stared at Xing Le's face in the soft light. Might be more detailed tomorrow.This must be a good material for chatting after dinner in Singapore.You must confess to me.she loves you.It can't be for another man, I don't believe it.I might be able to cover it up for you.

no need.Frankly, I didn't do much at all.My uncle won't talk much.I know he will be disappointed.Allie is a good girl.I think she was never happy with that mother and that father.She must want to escape.She is different from her mother.She knew that she was mediocre and shy.I mean, she's not a snob, just a plain-minded, plain-living girl.Money wasn't everything to a girl like Ellie.You know, she said to me one day: I wish I could go to a small island and marry a fisherman, and of course he'd be nice to me, kind, considerate.Never see my mom's diamond-encrusted dentures again.

How pitiful, Wei Sheng said: That's what I can't figure out.A bad bamboo will produce good shoots, but a good bamboo will produce bad shoots.When was the last time you saw her? Can't remember.About three weeks ago.She called me last week and said her mother was out and she would love to see me. and after? I did not go.I turned it off.You know, I don't want to give her encouragement. that is it? that is it. Xing Le took a taxi home, feeling guilty.He didn't kill her, but he knew he was the indirect cause of her death. If he is willing to fall in love with her, she will not commit suicide.

If the mother-in-law and her status were not in the way, he would probably like her and even marry her. Confucius once said that it is better to be a rough person than a snob.The fisherman in Ai Li's eyes is a rough man, but not a threat. The thing he hates most in the world, and his father hates the most, no, it's impossible.He wouldn't marry someone from her circle. Along the way, these thoughts lingered in his mind.Before I knew it, the taxi had arrived at the door of the house. Uncle sat on the verandah with a glass of sherry on the bamboo table beside him.Xing Le was halfway upstairs when he called him, Xing Le, come here.

He seemed to be in a bad mood. Wu Aili is dead!Uncle didn't even lift his head. I saw it in the newspaper. He turned to look at him, his voice sharp and serious. What the hell is going on with you two? Huh, no wow. The old gentleman pointed to a small evening newspaper.Xing Le took a hasty glance.His name was mentioned in the papers.Guess rumors say reliable sources revealed Xing Le flicked the newspaper down. It's a tabloid.You can't stop everyone from guessing and believing, just hear the rumors.that is it.There is nothing we can do. What have you done? no wow.In recent weeks, I haven't seen her at all.

No quarrel? I didn't see her, so where did the fight start? I walked for a month, nothing happened? ﹒ Absolutely not. Then why did she commit suicide? I have no idea. The uncle didn't speak again, Xing Le turned and walked away, and saw on his uncle's face a fisherman letting go of a big fish, resenting himself. Xingle wants to find a chance to talk to Juna. Uncle didn't mention that again, but he looked very sad and melancholy during the meal.After dinner, he asked the driver to prepare the car and said he was going out to see some friends. Juna and Xingle are sitting on the edge of the balcony.The weather was so hot that it rained heavily in the afternoon, but the grass was dry.A round of bright moon hung on the top of the coconut tree, several women and children bathed in the moonlight, small shells and clams on the sand bank, when the tide went out, the sand bar was exposed.

I don't understand how Elle could commit suicide. Juna didn't answer.She squinted at him. What a pity, she said slowly: such a young girl!As I said, she would be heartbroken if you left her.I didn't expect her to commit suicide.You don't have to beat yourself up either. Xing Le stared at the figure on the beach. Before you got home, your uncle asked if you were with Ellie.He is afraid that you will get her pregnant, or something else.I told him the truth, that during the month he was away, you visited her house at most once or twice.Now that things have come to this, he seems to be relieved a lot.when was the last time you saw her About three weeks ago.I remember it was Sunday.We played doubles with two other boys.The next Sunday, she called me again, but I said I couldn't go.Haven't heard from her since.Ally died this morning.Today is Wednesday.You can figure it out.It's been ten days since she last called. She took his hand on the table, as if she had a thousand words to say.Finally, she finally said, Xingle, remember you want my help, right?You and Han Xing decided to get married. That's my plan. You say you can't marry Ellie. Yes. Then you don't have to beat yourself up.I did nothing wrong. What do you mean by that? I must speak up.Only you and I need to know.Ellie called you last Saturday night and you happened to be out.I answered the phone.She asks who you go out with.I said with a girlfriend.She insisted on knowing the girl's name, to see if she knew her. Did you tell her? No.She became very angry, saying that she had always regarded me as a friend and insisted on knowing the truth.It occurred to me that she could no longer deceive herself.I just said, you must know that it doesn't matter, he is already secretly engaged to that girl.I can't hear her words clearly, she stutters and has a big tongue, I can't hear clearly.Maybe she burst into tears I don't know.There was dead silence on that end anyway, so I hung up.I didn't expect this to happen Did she call again? No.Just that once.No one wants to evolve to this point.I'm telling you because I'm gonna cause you're not mad at me now we're so close, right? No.Someone should tell her.It's just that I really hope she can hold out. I'm glad you understand that and hope we can always understand each other.That's why I'm telling you.i was trying to help you Juna, I'm glad you're telling the truth.Life is complicated, right? Let's go in.Newspapers want to gossip, so let them go!The young woman stood up and said. right. The day of the trip was approaching, and Xingle sent a telegram to his sister, announcing the confirmed date.He went to see Aunt Xiuying, and managed to meet Han Xing, saying that he would be back in about two months, and he would write to her from time to time.Wait for him to come back.He brought up the engagement with his uncle. He went out to find a living.Ask him to visit Han Xing occasionally to see if she needs help.There are no secrets between them.The afternoon before departure, they sat in a coffee shop. Are you really hot? Yes.We are like an engaged unmarried couple.It's wonderful to know that a woman loves you deeply When did you get married? I am not married. That's because you haven't met the right woman yet. You haven't told your uncle yet. No.Only Juna and you know.I have been to her house to meet her mother. You don't care about marrying a woman's daughter? Why should you care?I know I love her very much.This is the most important thing, right? Wei Sheng scratched the tip of his nose with his index finger.Then I won't talk about it. Say it, say something. She and Liu Nuo had a child together.How long I've been his concubine, I don't know. I know.She told me. You know, that's fine. I'll tell you.We had a fight once.One evening I entered the dairy.There were only two or three customers in the shop.She was sitting at a table with Jimmy, an English teenager whom I had met a few times, and I said hey to her, and then went back to talking to Jimmy.I do not care.That's nothing, I know she only loves me.I went over to chat with Nina, who was standing idly behind the counter.I forgot what we talked about.It seems to be a joke.She laughed, and I laughed too, and she laughed until tears flowed.Suddenly Han Xing walked over and said to Nina in a sharp voice: mind your own business.He is my man.She grabbed me and walked away.Nina scowled and didn't reply.When I looked back, the Englishman had already left. Later we went out together, and I said to her: You are jealous. Of course, she said.I don't allow anyone to take you away. I feel very happy, so I said: I saw you talking and laughing with Jimmy.I don't have a right to be jealous, you do, don't you?She said: It's not like you and Nina.I saw her clap your hand.We reconciled as before and kissed passionately.I shouldn't be surprised.I know she only loves me. Wei Sheng looked at him with half-closed eyes, his head was thrown back, a wet cigarette was on his lips. Of course, this is true, Xingle continued: jealousy makes people blind.Feel this love!It was a great experience to want to possess her completely. You will see Bo Ying soon. Don't confuse Bo Young with that.That's something else?You will not understand. oh! I bet you haven't been in love. real? Don't look at me like that. I wish I could be as naive as you, but unfortunately I can't.Ah well!See you tomorrow.I will come to your house early to help.Will Han Xing come to see you off? She said she would go to the pier. The boat was ready to sail, and Weisheng, Uncle, Juna, and Aunt Xiuying were all present.Han Xing also stood there, waving with everyone. Finally the boat moved slowly away.Next to the two or three railings, there is a turbulent crowd as usual, with the same smiles, shouts and waving goodbyes. Han Xing was wearing lovely green clothes and a red scarf. who is she?said uncle. She is your niece's favorite girl.let me introduce.Juna said. This is Xingle's uncle.This is Miss Han Xing, our friend of Xingle.She has been to our house. The uncle just let out an ah, looked her over from beginning to end, and then walked away slowly.
