Chapter 110 I'm Not That Bad
Chapter 110 I'm Not That Bad
Qin Yuhuan finally revealed her panicked side. She expressed her emotions illogically, and often the previous sentence did not match the next one, as if she said whatever she thought of.
Until my voice became hoarse, until I didn't want to say anything, I just cried on the phone.
All the way to Taicheng, Ziyi took Qin Yuhuan to her car. As for the studio driver, it would be too conspicuous to drive a nanny car, so she asked him to return to the crew from here.
Ziyi had told the driver early on that after passing Taicheng, he should not stop at any service station unless he needed to refuel, and should drive to Changping as fast as possible.
The rear seat guard was pulled down.
When she didn't see anyone, Qin Yuhuan couldn't stop crying, but when she saw people, her tears seemed to have dried up. She just put her arms around Ziyi and leaned on her shoulders. Her eyes were a little dull, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Or maybe, I didn't think about anything.
After a long while, Qin Yuhuan asked in a daze: "Am I dreaming? When I wake up, my father is still here."
Ziyi couldn't answer.
The real answer is too cruel, and Qin Yuhuan...
She knows the answer.
"My dad isn't a good man, but I'm not that bad either, Ziyi."
Probably thinking of things at home, Qin Yuhuan covered her face in pain, "I'm not so bad as to wish them all dead. If possible, I hope they are all alive. I don't want anything at home, I just want them to be alive. Is this request... too much?"
"Not too much." As an outsider, Ziyi could feel the suffocation emanating from such a native family. Even she, an outsider, was forced to the point of being unable to breathe, let alone Qin Yuhuan who was at the center of the vortex. "Not too much at all."
"I thought about calling him because it was Saturday."
The flame that had finally gathered in my heart seemed to dissipate the moment I learned of Qin Changping's death, without even a wisp of smoke left.
The person she had been in love with for many years was right beside her. When Qin Yuhuan thought she could take a step forward, reality forced her to stay where she was. She instinctively moved closer to him, trying to draw warmth from the burning flames.
Shu Baizhu once said that Ziyi was too scorching, and that if one got too close, one would be afraid of being burned all over. However, Qin Yuhuan didn't care about that. She had already been desolate for a long time. She needed and longed for warmth, even if Ziyi's temperature was so hot that it could burn people.
It was a more than twenty-hour drive, with Ziyi and the driver taking turns driving.
When it was not her turn, she hugged Qin Yuhuan, who was just staring blankly and motionless.
There was food in the car, but Qin Yuhuan could only drink a little water at a time.
It was almost noon the next day when they entered Changping County. Qin Yuhuan didn't know the way, so he called his cousin at home. The cousin was told to go buy some groceries first.
Posture:?
"They said they wanted to discuss the funeral, and they would have to go to my uncle's house to eat and drink, and we have to prepare our own food." Qin Yuhuan said with all her might, "I have a brother who will come over later and take us there."
Ziyi thought for a moment and asked the driver to get off the car. "Find a hotel and report the ticket to me. I'll call you if there's anything."
The driver nodded in agreement, and Qin Yuhuan moved to the passenger seat. They followed the navigation to find the place their cousin mentioned.
The sun was shining brightly, and the two waited in the car for nearly an hour before cousin Wu Wenbin arrived. As soon as they met, he asked Ziyi's car to follow behind his. Ziyi said okay and got back into the car.
"This is my eldest aunt's child. He is my third cousin and a relative on my father's side..." Qin Yuhuan seemed to have difficulty organizing his words. He was silent for a while before continuing, "They can calculate more clearly, which is completely different from the relatives on my mother's side. This is my family's business. They will help, but they can only provide manpower."
Ziyi understood that they only provided manpower but not money, so even the food and drinks for the "meeting" to discuss funeral arrangements had to wait until Qin Yuhuan came back and nodded before they could start.
Different places have different customs, which is understandable.
"My dad is the youngest. He has two uncles and three aunts. My eldest uncle passed away years ago, and his wife remarried. Now there is only one second uncle. I told them that you are my friend and I can't do it myself. You came to accompany me. Is that okay?"
Qin Yuhuan sought Ziyi's opinion, "They don't know that I'm in the entertainment industry, they only know that I work in Jincheng, so... you might want to..."
"I know. I won't let it slip." Ziyi had been to many places, and she knew that Qin Yuhuan didn't lie on purpose, but...
She is too obscure. Qin Yuhuan in the past could be said to have achieved nothing, and there is nothing good to say about her as an artist.
And her relatives couldn't understand it either. The entertainment industry was too far away from them. In small places, especially in villages, there were always a lot of rumors.
Wu Wenbin and Ziyi parked the car at the vegetable market. A plump aunt got out of the car. Ziyi guessed that she must be Qin Yuhuan's aunt.
"Aunt." Qin Yuhuan hugged her aunt with red eyes. At this moment, everyone present except Ziyi and Wu Wenbin had tears in their eyes.
There was a short uncle-like man next to the eldest aunt, and Ziyi couldn't guess what the relationship between him and Qin Yuhuan was.
"Good boy, stop crying." Qin Changling patted Qin Yuhuan on the back, "Your father's affairs are still waiting for you to take charge."
"Yu Huan, is there any news from your brother?" Wu Wenbin took out his cell phone. "I sent him a message but he didn't reply."
Qin Yuhuan shook his head. "No, he didn't reply when I sent him a message. But I told him about my dad on WeChat. If he still cares about me, he should come back."
Sun Chenglin suddenly looked at Ziyi, "What is this...?"
"Uncle, this is my friend, Ziyi." Qin Yuhuan took Ziyi's arm, "She is worried about me, so she came to accompany me."
She greeted politely: "Aunt, uncle, brother."
"Okay, you're a good kid too, let's go in and buy some groceries."
Qin Changling raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and walked in a row with Ziyi and the other two. "Your other two aunts and I go to see your father every week. Yesterday, we went, but he was not there. Wenbin, Wenhua and I were with him. They even looked through the window and saw that your father was not at home, so we left."
"Later, your aunt called us, and we went back immediately. When we got there, the person had already been taken away by the police."
Qin Changling didn't speak Mandarin very well, so Wu Wenbin occasionally helped translate and explain. Only then did Qin Yuhuan and Ziyi guess the details.
"My uncle must have been gone for a day or two," Wu Wenbin explained. "He was found in the toilet. Wenhua and I didn't see him because it was a blind spot. But neighbors passing by always smelled something and thought he hadn't been there for several days, so they called the police."
The weather in Changping County was very hot a few days ago, and Wu Wenbin's use of the word "flavorful" was already subtle and euphemistic.
