You are like the warm sun

Chapter 261 Xu Xiaoqin - Extra 3
Since she could no longer hide it, Mother Xu told the whole story.

After listening to this, Xu Xiaoqin didn't speak for a long time. She held the phone tightly in both hands, her fingertips were white and cold.

"Xiaoqin, what happened back then is in the past. Your father is dead, and the murderer is in jail. There's no point in talking about it now."

"If I hadn't found this phone, would you never have told me?" Xu Xiaoqin looked up at her mother with sad eyes.

Mother Xu pursed her lips, turned her eyes away with mixed feelings, and did not answer.

But her reaction said it all.

Xu Xiaoqin knew that she had no right to blame her mother. She just wanted to protect her daughter.

She closed her eyes, feeling weak all over: "Mom, I want to calm down alone..."

All along, when facing Shao Zhouci, Xu Xiaoqin always put herself in the position of the victim's family, regarded him as the son of his father's murderer, spoke ill of him with a clear conscience, and hated his indifference and inaction.

She once called him Shao Wei's accomplice, so now, what is she?

She was also her father's accomplice.

It was she who pulled the young and pretty boy into their home, and it was she who ignorantly pestered him, wanting to be his friend.

Every step she took was pulling him into the abyss.

One man's meat may be another's poison.

It turned out that she had become so disgusting in his heart without realizing it, and she was still unaware of it.

Xu Xiaoqin remembered that just two days ago, she had jokingly asked Shao Zhouci, "If that incident hadn't happened, and my dad hadn't died, and we had grown up together as neighbors, and gone to the same high school after graduating from junior high, and spent every day together... would you have fallen in love with me?"

His answer was: "No."

Yeah, how could he like her?
Never.

They can't even be friends.

……

Xu Xiaoqin completely disappeared from Shao Zhouci's world.

The past hurt could not be repaired, all she could do was to stay quiet and not disturb him anymore.

After graduating from her senior year, she returned to Pingxi.

While sitting in a taxi, she caught a glimpse of a hotel on the side of the road and hurriedly asked the driver to stop.

After getting off the car, Xu Xiaoqin went straight to the hotel entrance and looked at the sign at the door.

It was a wedding photo of a young couple.

The bride and groom are a perfect match.

There was also a message on the sign: [Wishing Mr. Shao Zhouci and Ms. Tang Wan a long and happy marriage!]

Seeing that she had been standing still for a long time, the receptionist at the door politely approached and asked, "Hello, are you a guest attending the wedding?"

Xu Xiaoqin came back to her senses and shook her head lightly: "No."

After answering, she turned and left.

This hotel is a famous wedding venue in Pingxi. Behind it is a large lawn and park. She walked along the openwork iron fence and, sure enough, she spotted the wedding scene in the distance, though the fence and greenery obscured its visibility. The beautiful and romantic wedding attracted several passersby to stop and take photos.

The focal length of the lens is much better than that of the human eye. Xu Xiaoqin smiled and took two photos as well. After taking them, she took a look and deleted them.

After staying for a while, she was about to leave, but at this moment she ran into an old friend whom she hadn't seen for many years, which surprised her.

The other person also saw her and his expression froze.

Xu Xiaoqin called her calmly, "Aunt Qin Lan."

The middle-aged woman in front of him, wearing a long skirt and still full of charm, is Shao Zhouci's biological mother.

The other party showed an awkward smile: "Are you... Xiaoqin?"

Xu Xiaoqin nodded, "Auntie, if you're here for the wedding, the gate is over there."

She pointed in a direction.

"I'm just passing by, taking a look and leaving..."

Xu Xiaoqin understood and smiled at her, "Me too."

Meeting Shao Zhouci's mother outside the hotel was just a small episode.

After that, Xu Xiaoqin never saw her again.

I heard that she moved to Haicheng with her second husband and completely cut off all ties with her first failed marriage. She is very decisive, but also very cruel.

Compared to her, Xu Xiaoqin pays more attention to Shao Wei.

On the day Shao Wei was released from prison, she stood outside the prison and watched him from afar.

This man, who bore a passing resemblance to Shao Zhouci, had spent eighteen years in prison, his violent aura having long since been smoothed away. Now, he was just a decadent middle-aged man with an ugly scar on his forehead, in his fifties, with gray hair at the temples.

When he walked out, his eyes were calm, until he saw Xu Xiaoqin, then some ripples appeared in his eyes.

She watched his reaction with satisfaction.

Seeing that he was not doing well, she felt much better.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Shao Wei quickly stopped her, "Do you know where my son is?"

Xu Xiaoqin sneered: "How dare you ask me about him? Why, you want him to take care of you in your old age? Shao Wei, before you go to him, I advise you to think carefully. He is no longer the child you used to be."

He looked embarrassed.

She ignored him and turned away.

She didn't know whether Shao Wei went to find Shao Zhouci afterwards, nor did she pay much attention to it.

But a year later, she learned from others that he died in a car accident.

The cause of the accident was that Shao Wei tried to scam a private car, but the car failed to brake and he died on the spot.

Do not live by committing sins.
