Unprepared for attacking wife

Chapter 94 An Unusual Year

The old lady Xi glanced at Cheng Xiang, and she knew that this woman would not stop, and the bigger the trouble, the happier she was.But once, the old lady Xi didn't stop her, on the contrary, she played in her hands.

"It's nothing, I'm just talking about Miss Shang's father."

Xi Zhenghan immediately frowned, "Why mention that person? What a bad luck!"

Kapok's years of forbearance collapsed in his shameless tone.

She wanted to ask this father's best buddy, did he feel any guilt about that incident back then?

"Mr. Xi," Mu Mian finally said, "Can you tell me what you did to my father back then?"

Xi Zhenghan froze, as if he didn't expect her to ask this question when she opened her mouth, and her face immediately sank, "Do I need to tell you? You deserve to know?"

The disdain in his words caused Xi Yuanqian to turn his eyes away. He stared at his father with unfamiliar and hateful eyes, sneered, and said, "I want to know too."

His attitude angered Xi Zhenghan, "Want to know? Okay, I'll tell you!"

The fig leaf covered in his heart was violently exposed, and he became irritable, paranoid, and hysterical, "Back then, he was jealous of me! Jealous that I did a better job than him! He went bankrupt, and instead of reflecting on himself, he blamed me for not helping him. ?! This lunatic ruined my family, he should go to hell!"

Xi Zhenghan's words were extremely resentful, and his face also completely irritated Kapok.

"Lie!" she screamed, "You're lying—who made him bankrupt? Who lied to him?"

Xi Zhenghan gritted his teeth and stared at his eyes, and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? What does his bankruptcy have to do with me?"

Xi Yuanqian resisted the urge to hug Kapok, and slowly turned his cold eyes to his father bit by bit, narrowed his black eyes, and said word by word very slowly: "In [-], how did you escape that A financial crisis?"

Xi Zhenghan's cheeks changed slightly...

Xi Zhenghan was also unwilling to face that year, and Xi Yuanqian's breathing also began to become short, and his heart beat even harder.

Memories are riddled with holes and cannot be erased.

1997 was destined to be an unusual year. Hong Kong returned to China, Princess Diana died in a car accident, and the first human died of bird flu...

In 1997, the Asian financial crisis broke out.

In 1997, Xi Yuanqian was 5 years old.

“继23日香港恒生指数大跌1211。47点，昨日持续下跌1 621。80点，跌破9 000点大关……”

"The Hang Seng Index fell by more than 3 points within 3000 days...The government made decisive decisions and entered the market to protect the market...Short-term lending rates were raised by 30%...Property transaction prices hit new lows..."

"The housing market crashed and housing prices plummeted...owners concentrated on selling properties...the real estate bubble burst..."

In the dark room, the news came intermittently from the old radio on the table.

"Snapped"

The flames jumping from the lighter illuminated the man's face covered with blue stubble.

After lighting a cigarette, he threw away the lighter, and slowly moved the cigarette between his fingers to between his chapped lips, taking a deep puff.His eyes, like a pool of stagnant water, were opened blankly, staring straight at the shivering little boy opposite.

Beside him was a body that had been dead for 3 days.

A cigarette finally ignited, he stood up and walked over, squatted down and tilted his head to look at him, with a hoarse voice, "He said our chance has come, he said that every inch of land in Hong Kong will always be rich... I think he is Brother, I believed it, and bought more than half of the unsalable properties from him! But the result? I was called for debts, and I dared not go back to my home, but he took my money to start a company in the mainland!!"

At the end, he almost roared until his throat became hoarse and his eyes were bloodshot.

The little boy curled up his small body, kept leaning towards the corpse on the ground, and pulled with a trembling little hand, "Mom...Mom..."

The man suddenly calmed down, "Your mother is dead, and I will send you to see her soon. Don't blame me, it's all your father's fault...If you want to blame, just blame him."

Out of nowhere, the little boy yelled, "Daddy will come and save us!"

"Your father?" The man laughed dumbfoundedly, "He is enjoying himself in the mainland with his mistress now, how can he remember you? In his eyes, you mother and son are not worth even a mere 100 million!"

He stood up, the little boy cried out in fright, and shook his mother desperately with his little hands, "Mom, mom...get up...I want to go home...Mom, I'm scared...take me home..."

The man grabbed him with cold hands, lifted him up and held him under his armpits, walked towards the door, climbed up to the roof, and coaxed him numbly: "Don't be afraid, it will be over soon. Uncle will accompany you. Are you Do you like playing with your uncle the most?"

"Mom! I want Mom!"

Accompanied by the heart-piercing cries of the little boy, the cheerful singing of "Jingle Bells" came faintly from afar.

He looked up, only then remembered that Christmas was coming soon, but he hadn't had time to prepare a present for his daughter.

Thinking of his daughter, the man lowered his head, tears welled up from his dry eyes.

Kapok, his little kapok...

Standing on a 16-story building, the downstairs is full of people, with the police behind them.

The man slowly raised his head and glanced at the quiet night sky. He hadn't seen so many beautiful stars for a long time, and the biggest and brightest North Star must be showing his way home.

go home……

The man smiled, and the Christmas carols in his ears were gradually replaced by the melodious sound of the cello. Following the sound of the cello, he saw the open door of the house.

The Christmas decorations all over the house were arranged by the wife and children.It was as if nothing had happened, everything was back to the original place, and the fire in the fireplace illuminated my daughter's cute little face...

The man closed his eyes and smiled contentedly.

It's time to go home.

Come back home.

High in the sky, the cold wind was howling, and the man stretched out his left foot forward...

"Ah—" There were exclamations everywhere.

The little boy calmed down at this moment, looking at him with big moist eyes, looking extremely tired, and plunged into the man's arms again, closing his eyes, crying in a hoarse voice, "Uncle , I am so tired and sleepy...I miss my mother...will you take me home to find my mother?"

The man lowered his head, his eyes glazed over.

"Mom...I miss mom..." The little boy was about to fall asleep, pulling his clothes, thinking only of his mother.

After a long time, the man said: "Okay, I will take you to find your mother."

He closed his eyes peacefully, and finally walked towards the long-awaited peace.

"what!"

After a piercing scream sounded, everything became silent again.

The eyes of astonishment were still focused on the roof.

A fireman grabbed one of his arms firmly, "Grab it!" Others reacted, and quickly stepped forward to grab him, "Don't let go!"

One of the man's hands was caught, and the other instinctively hugged the child in his arms. The peace in his vision was disrupted by the unexpected situation in front of him, and he was a little dazed.

"Catch it!" The firefighter's expression was so painful that the veins on his neck were about to burst, and his wide eyes turned blood red.

Most of his body was dragged down, but he was still struggling to hold on.

"Don't let go..." He said with difficulty, "Don't let go..."

The man's eyes finally had some focus.

The child in his arms seemed to be asleep, and was very clean.

However, the little hand that was holding onto the hem of his shirt was even tighter, and his little body was shaking unbearably.

"Hurry up!" The firefighter seemed to have exhausted all his strength, his cheeks were flushed, and sweat mixed with tears dripped down.Gritting his teeth, he said, "Please...don't let go...don't give up..."

No matter how vicious or not, it is his duty to save people.

The man's eyes were exhausted, and there was a trace of looseness.

For someone like him, living will only drag others down, so why save him?
The firefighter's body was torn off in half, and the colleagues behind him grabbed his feet tightly, "Hurry up! Get the rope!"

"Catch it! Don't let go!"

"Be careful kids!"

There was a lot of hustle and bustle overhead.

"Ah!" The fireman yelled in pain.

His arm was dislocated.

The man's brows trembled slightly. Seeing that the young man was about to be dragged down by himself, he suddenly shouted: "Pull the child up first!"

After finishing speaking, he gritted his teeth and cooperated, and only used his other hand to hug the little boy with difficulty.

Someone above has already made preparations, quickly caught the child, and successfully rescued it!
The crowd downstairs burst into applause.

The little boy huddled tightly in the arms of other people, and then slowly opened his eyes, looking at the person who was still hanging in the air under his feet, his dark eyes gradually changed.Then slowly, he closed his eyes again. .

On this day, he, who was not strong enough, lost the two most important things in his life.

Seeing the child being rescued, a gratified smile gradually appeared on the man's stiff face.

The firefighter who had been tugging on him had sensed something, and had already lost the strength to speak at this moment, so he could only bear the pain and shook his head.

With a final smile on his face, the man let go of his hand.

The young fireman watched helplessly as his hand slipped down little by little until it left his fingertips...

This scene became Kapok's taboo and his nightmare.

Xi Yuanqian slowly calmed down the pain in his chest, opened his eyes wide, and looked directly at Xi Zhenghan. When he said all these things mercilessly, the expression on the latter's face was always changing.

"You're slandering me! Don't forget, I'm your father! I'm the one who raised you up!"

"Hehe..." He laughed, "That's right, but you are also the one who killed my mother!"

Xi Yuanqian didn't hate Kapok's father, for so many years, he had never hated, but he hated his own father.It was his selfishness that hurt his mother, kapok, him, and everyone!

"Say it again! Believe it or not, I'll kill you!"
