Chapter 226 A Thorn

"Since I was a child, I have always wanted my mother to hug me, but unfortunately, this wish can no longer be fulfilled." Anxi closed the photo album in her hand, and she hugged it tightly, "If the Knowing it would be like this, I would have said a few more words to her that day, if I had known it would be the last time, I would have..."

If... if...

People are always like this, they never know how to cherish it when they have it, but one day they find out that the person who thought they will always be there will never come back again, and they will be annoyed why they didn't cherish it at the time.

An Xi never understood that since she still cherishes these things so much but rejects her so much, she doesn't understand her mother's thoughts.

But at this moment, she has no chance to understand...

At this time, a mobile phone rang.

This is not the ringtone of Ke Muyang and An Xi's phone.

An Xi sobbed and looked up at Ke Muyang, thinking for a while, "This seems to be the ringtone of my mother's cell phone."

"Where is it I'll get it."

"It's in my bag." An Xi sobbed.

Ke Muyang said "En", and then went out. An Xi just wanted to follow out, but when he stood up, something fell out of the photo album with a "ding dong".

An Xi was taken aback.

"key?"

This sudden appearance of a key seems to have caught her by surprise.

She picked up the key that fell on the ground. This key seemed to be different from ordinary keys. It was silver and white with six digits on it... 7432.

"This... doesn't look like a key to a door lock, does it?" She couldn't help talking to herself.

But looking around, is this the key to some kind of cabinet?
An Xi was thinking, but is there a place where I can lock things here?

The first thing she thought of was the desk in her mother's room.

She walked over to pull a few drawers there, and the drawers were easily opened. They were not locked, and there were no signs of being pried open, but all three drawers could be opened, obviously not the keys to these drawers. .Nothing inside.

My mother didn't have much money either. There was an envelope in the middle drawer. When I opened it, there was some money in it. It was probably her living expenses before, and she didn't take it away after she left, so she stayed here.

Mother has no savings.Anxi knows this.

Because in the past, my mother's life was so chaotic. If she had money, she would gamble, and if she had no money, she would even borrow usury.

Anxi grew up in such an environment since she was a child, and lived hungry and full.

So it was the money in the drawer that surprised An Xi.

But it looks sad.

She collected herself, and then put the money back into the drawer.

But why this key is put in the photo album is definitely not accidental.

Could it be that there may be some messages left by the mother in the place where the key is opened?
The mother's relics are pitiful, and there is almost nothing else except these.

Therefore, she always hopes to find something about her mother, and she even hopes that her mother can leave her something, at least to make her feel that she still has a little value in her mother's heart, even if it is only a little bit .

Because the feeling of being completely abandoned by the mother is probably a pain that no one can face, and those who have not experienced it will not understand.

At this time, Ke Muyang came back and said, "The people from DN called just now and said that the pair of bracelets and a set of jewelry that your mother ordered before are ready and can be picked up."

"Customized bracelets and jewelry?" An Xi was at a loss.

Ke Muyang couldn't answer him either, but they should all know that DN is a luxury brand, and if it's custom-made jewelry, it's worth a lot of money.

"Maybe it was ordered by my mother before." An Xi said, but suddenly something flashed in his mind, but An Xi didn't catch it for a while, and always felt weird.

The jewelry sent by Xia Minglang and those worn by his mother during her lifetime were all very expensive, so it shouldn't be unusual to order another set.

That's what she thought.

"I'll take a look with you later." Ke Muyang said.

An Xi thought for a while and said, "Mu Yang, can you help me with something?"

"what's up?"

"Xia Minglang brought a few boxes of jewelry that day, and he said he wanted me to deal with them. I thought it would be useless for me to keep them, so I wanted to get rid of those jewels, and I wanted to exchange them for money for the orphanage. I It looks like it needs to be repaired." She was still holding the photo album tightly in her hand, she lowered her eyes, she was silent for a while, and then said: "I don't know what I can do for her."

Ke Muyang nodded, "Okay, I'll take care of it."

"Oh, that's right." An Xi thought of the key she picked up just now, "Mu Yang, what do you think this is?" She spread her hand and stretched it out in front of Ke Muyang, "This is the key to hold the key." It's in the photo album, but I don't know what kind of key it is. There's nowhere to lock things in the house, which is weird."

Ke Muyang took the key in her hand and looked at it, then frowned slightly: "This should be the key to the bank safe."

"Bank safe?" An Xi was a little puzzled, "You mean maybe my mother kept something important in the bank safe?"

Ke Muyang nodded, "It should be. But I don't know which bank this key belongs to. I need to investigate to find out. Maybe it is an overseas bank."

"Can you check for me?" Anxi looked at him and asked.

Ke Muyang looked at her and asked, "Do you believe me?"

An Xi's eyes were inexplicably red, and tears were in her eyes...

Seeing this, Ke Muyang hugged her into his arms, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, but I don't know what's in the safe. After all, it's your mother's personal belongings, so..."

"It's okay, Mu Yang, it's just that I'm afraid that you will leave me now..." Her voice choked up again as she spoke.

"No, no, no, fool, don't think about it." At this moment, she is very fragile and sensitive. Anything that she may say casually will make her feel unsafe, and it makes people feel very distressed.

Ke Muyang got the key from An Xi, but Ke Muyang seemed to have a premonition that this key might be locked with all of Xia Ni's secrets.

It's just that he may think a little more than Anxi.

In the afternoon, he accompanied An Xi to DN to pick up jewelry.

Because of Ke Muyang and Xia Ni because of Xia Minglang's relationship, the designer responsible for this jewelry also came.And there were no special procedures, An Xi quickly got the custom-made bracelet and a set of jewelry from the designer.Arrange in two flat boxes.

"I'm sorry, but we didn't know that Ms. Xia has... Ms. An, please forgive me." The designer said.

An Xi shook her head, "It doesn't matter," she paused, "Is this the jewelry that my mother ordered before she was alive?"

The designer said: "Yes. There are a pair of bracelets in total, a set of jewelry, including necklaces, earrings, bracelets and so on. Miss An, please take a look."

The jewelry is inlaid with precious rubies, especially the necklace is connected with many diamonds, which looks expensive.

Speaking of which, the designer handed the box to An Xi, "Ms. Xia said she was preparing a dowry for her daughter. I think it should be you, Miss An."

As a designer, even if they are not in the same field, they still have a certain understanding of each other. Jewelry design and fashion design belong to the fashion industry, so I still know An Xi's name.

It's just that on such occasions and at this time, it's hard for the other party to say anything.

An Xi looked at the other party in astonishment, "You said just now that this is the dowry my mother prepared for me?"

The designer said: "Yes, Ms. Xia Ni said it herself, because I am responsible for designing the style according to her wishes, and she said that her daughter will use it for her wedding. Hehe, Miss An, your mother is so kind to you, you can tell that she I love you very much, I am very willing, she said that you like simple things, but she doesn’t want it to be too simple, she said she doesn’t want you to be too ordinary, and she also said that your skin is fair, red must look good, and this is what she asked for, The necklace must be matched with diamonds and rubies. In short, she has a lot of requirements, and these have been changed three times. However, after we got in touch with her, we found that she really cares about you."

Anxi looked at the jewelry in front of her, tears poured out of her trembling lips, "It's not like this..." Anxi couldn't even accept such a result at all, she would rather believe that her mother didn't care about her at all, hated her, despised her , She also doesn't want to hear others tell her that her mother loves her very much and cares about her.He even specially prepared a dowry for her, which she never dared to think of before.

Anxi's emotions even broke down a bit, "You don't even know! How could she do this!" After speaking, she ran out crying.

"Anxi!" Seeing this, Ke Muyang immediately motioned to them and chased them out.

Ke Muyang pulled her into his arms at once, "Anxi, Anxi, calm down, calm down."

"You tell me, why is this, why! What's going on? She never let me hold her hand. She told me more than once that she hates me, hates me, and she doesn't even want to Listen to me call her mom, but why, she has to prepare so many things for me? Since she hates me and hates me, why does she still treat me so well? She doesn't even leave me a word, a word She left without even leaving, why did she do this to me! She prepared so many things for me, why did she commit suicide? She didn't leave a word. My mother will not commit suicide, Ke Muyang, Ke Muyang, I believe she won't commit suicide, she has no reason, no!" Originally, it was just the sadness of losing her mother, but at this moment, the unspeakable self-blame and deep regret almost made An Xi collapse.

This feeling is indescribable, all she knows is that her heart hurts so badly that she can't breathe.

Why did it become like this?So suddenly, so suddenly, it makes people feel so unreal.

But the fact is, the mother has already been buried.That's it, it's all over.

Yes, her life ended just like that, leaving nothing behind, but she only found out after losing her mother that her mother had always loved her very much, always.

But God made her tell her after everything was over.

What irony, what sadness!
Anxi sat on the ground, crying like a child, calling her mother one after another, like a lost child who couldn't find his way home.

Ke Muyang took a deep breath, and he held her tightly in his arms, because he didn't know what to say, everything happened so suddenly, even including Xia Ni's death.

Afterwards, Anxi fell seriously ill, and fell asleep in a daze, with a high fever that persisted. In her sleep, she didn't know what she was talking about.

Asen gently pushed open the door of the ward, and the ward was quiet as if no one was there.

The light was dim, and the thick curtains blocked the bright lights outside.

Ke Muyang saw that it was Asen, so he subconsciously glanced at An Xi who was sleeping.

Then stood up and walked out.

The sunlight outside was really good. His eyes adjusted to the light outside a little, so he asked, "How is the investigation?"

Asen nodded, he subconsciously glanced at the door of the ward behind him, Ke Muyang also glanced and said: "There is an element of sleeping in the drip, she is sleeping very deeply now, it's okay, just tell me."

"I've already found the key. It's the key to the UBS safe, and I've also checked. It's true that Annie has a safe there. And the time to rent this safe is not now or recently, but already It's been about 12 years."

Ke Muyang frowned, "So long?"

"Yes, so I think there must be a lot of important things in it." Asen said.

Ke Muyang was silent and didn't say anything, but his brows were slightly tightened.

"Sir, there is one more thing."

"what's up?"

"I found something from the police..." He paused, and deliberately lowered his voice, "Xia Ni did not commit suicide, because the wound on her wrist was not done by herself. And the forensic doctor also identified her There is no history of drug use, and the level of drugs in her system is not high enough to make a person unconscious."

"Is it so obvious?"

"Yes. And this matter was suppressed without any further investigation, and it was directly classified as a suicide." Asen said.

Ke Muyang put his hands on the window sill and looked outside. After a moment of silence, he said, "Do you think Xia Ni's death has anything to do with Xia Minglang?"

"Xia Minglang has the ability to suppress this matter, doesn't he?" Asen replied.

"No, Xia Minglang is so cautious, he won't be so stupid to kill the woman beside him, it won't do him any good." Ke Muyang folded his hands on his chest and said calmly.

"But...it doesn't make sense, why? If it wasn't Xia Minglang, who would kill Xia Ni? Xia Ni shouldn't have any enemies, right?"

"That night she mainly asked to see me, and there was nothing unusual about it. Since Xia Minglang didn't do it, it means that he didn't know about the cooperation between Xia Ni and me. If that's the case, then there must be a third party."

"Third party forces?"

Ke Muyang took a deep breath and closed his eyes: "If Xia Minglang doesn't do this, I will suppress this matter as soon as possible. If the investigation continues, people will know that Xia Ni contacted me. I I don't want Anxi to know these things."

Asen frowned, "Sir, what should we do now?"

Ke Muyang took a deep breath, "Anyway, let's do this for the time being. Now I just want An Xi not to suffer so much. Some things are better not to know than to know. This kind of thing is too cruel."

"It's just that Xia Ni's behavior is really incomprehensible." Asen said with emotion.

Ke Muyang sighed, "Perhaps it's understandable."

"Why?" Ash was puzzled.

"The colder you are, the less sad you will be when parting. Because you don't have deep feelings, you may be sad, and you may be sad for a while, but it will pass soon. It's just that if you have feelings, you will not be able to say goodbye when you part. let go."

Ke Muyang looked into the distance, he knew this feeling too well.

He has no feelings, so he has no scruples about what to do.It's just that once there is emotion, people's hearts will become weak.Maybe Xia Ni just didn't want to let herself be tied down.

Ash nodded...

"A Sen." Ke Muyang suddenly thought of something, so he said.

"Yes."

Ke Muyang looked back at him, "Go to Union Bank first to see what is in this safe. Since Xia Ni has been hiding it for more than ten years, I suddenly wonder what is there that she had to hide. got up."

"Sir, what do you mean... the formula of the Xia family perfume that Xia Minglang has been looking for?"

"Maybe, anyway, you go and see first."

"okay, I get it."

Xia family...

Xia Minglang sat on the chair in the garden and was lost in thought.

Lao Yang walked over, stood beside him for a while and said softly, "Sir."

Only now did Xia Minglang seem to have noticed something, he looked away, and said calmly, "Have you still not found it?"

"Yes, I sent someone to search the old building again while Miss Anxi was out. It seems that she was sorting out her mother's belongings and she found it first?"

"Impossible, that house is so small, there is no place to hide things at all. I have looked for it last time."

Xia Minglang's expression was very strange, as if he was hiding something, but it always showed it inadvertently, it didn't seem like he would make a mistake.

"Sir, are you okay?" Lao Yang looked at him and asked.

After being silent for a while, Xia Minglang finally sighed and said with a trace of sadness in his eyes, "She died. This time, she really won't come back."

"gentlemen……"

Xia Minglang stood up, walked a few steps towards the lake, stretched out his hand, and looked into the distance, "This garden has never changed, I have always kept this old house of the Xia family, I knew she would definitely come back , as long as she lives, she will come back to take revenge on me sooner or later. Sure enough, she really came back, I thought, she would never leave after this. I think it's worth it. But I didn't expect it to happen so suddenly, so suddenly... Hahaha, you know, until she dies, Ke Muqing is the only one in her heart, only him, only him!"

Gritting his teeth, Xia Minglang casually smashed the black jade pipe in his hand to the ground, breaking it into two pieces.

But his rage was quickly suppressed, and his former calm was restored.

He lowered his voice and asked, "What about that girl first? I deliberately asked DN to tell that girl to get the things her mother left for her. What was her reaction?"

"Miss An Xi has been ill for several days. I heard from the people at the hospital that the high fever has not subsided."

"I asked you to compare that girl's DNA, did you find any clues? I just want to know whose child she is." Xia Minglang gritted his teeth and said.

Lao Yang's expression was a bit ugly, Xia Minglang looked at him, "Why, is there any problem?"

Lao Yang sighed and said, "Sir, Madam's previous social circle is too complicated, if you want to check it, it will be really difficult..."
