Chapter 374: The Train Station!
Chapter 374: The Train Station!
"What did she tell you about her childhood?"
Chen Xiao pressed on.
Only then did Xu Fu finally realize and glance at his wife.
The boss lady clenched her fist tightly, "I’m not going to hit you, just be honest with the police officer about what they ask you!"
"I met her at the market; that day, I went to buy groceries, and she was fiercely arguing over a few cents with someone. But I didn’t pay much attention at the time, as there were many people living frugally, and saving a dime was a dime saved."
"Who would have thought that the vegetable seller, for some reason, suddenly rushed toward her to hit her. I’m a good-hearted person, so I protected her then."
"Maybe it was this gesture that created a bond between us. Later, we met a few more times. She was kind-hearted, always thinking that because I helped her, she ought to repay me. So she bought a lot of good food and said she wanted to invite me for a meal."
"It was during that meal that we talked a lot, and I asked about her family. She told me that she and her younger sister were abducted by traffickers when they were very little. Later on, her sister was adopted, and she raised herself alone."
Hearing this, Chen Xiao couldn’t help but interrupt, "Did she ever say who adopted her sister?"
"I asked about that too, but she didn’t tell me, only said her sister was doing well. I also asked her how she managed to support herself being so young."
"She didn’t care much, just laughed it off saying she muddled through and grew up. I also asked her why she didn’t report to the police to catch the trafficker who took the sisters away. She said that after she and her sister escaped, they never saw that trafficker again."
Chen Xiao paused and asked again, "Did she always remember her name, or did she herself choose to be called Wang Hao later on?"
"This was the name her parents gave her. She said her name was Wang Hao and her sister’s name was Wang Mei."
"Did she ever mention where she was from?"
"She never mentioned that, only said she had never returned home. I asked her why she didn’t go back, and she said her parents were long gone. That year, her parents got into an accident at the train station, and during the commotion, the trafficker snatched the sisters away."
Hearing this, Chen Xiao suddenly realized why Qiu Tingfang made such a big commotion about returning home to find her family.
Her purpose might not have been to find her parents, but because she knew she had an older sister.
Only by causing a big stir would she have a chance of meeting her sister.
Thinking about this, Chen Xiao glanced at Xu Fu and then at his wife, continuing:
"At that time, we really considered each other good friends. I pitied her misfortune, and she was grateful I helped her. But later, the situation changed. I think maybe she was too loveless, so she wanted to find someone to rely on."
"I always longed to have a son, so we ended up being together. But she never knew all along that I had a family, not until her pregnancy progressed did she realize my true circumstances."
"I always suspected that she ended the pregnancy herself. When I say ’ended,’ I don’t mean she went to the hospital; she might have forcefully ended it herself!"
At this point, a complex expression passed over Xu Fu’s eyes, with even a hint of regret.
"After she found out I had a family, she slapped herself hard in front of me, then hit her belly, cursing herself for being shameless. I could only comfort her, and only after she was calm did I leave."
"But within a few days, she called me saying the child was gone. I rushed to see her, but she said if I dared to face her, she would jump off the hospital building. After that, I never..."
Xu Fu didn’t finish his words.
His wife raised her hand and slapped him hard on the face several times.
"Xu Fu, you are truly despicable! I’ve shared a bed with you for so many years, and never felt you could be this evil!"
The boss lady gritted her teeth.
Chen Xiao could tell that her gritted teeth weren’t because someone broke her family.
It was because someone near her had such an unbearable side.
Xu Fu had no face to argue, lowered his head, and said, "I have indeed wronged her; she’s the only girl I ever deceived. She was much younger than me, but had endured so much more hardship than me. But wife, I know I only had that one thought. After that, all my encounters were clear, just spending money without being emotionally involved."
The boss lady looked at him indifferently, "When I learned about your dirty deeds last night, I even blamed myself a little for my body not being strong. But now, you’ve truly disappointed me too much! You’re too fake, so fake that even I can’t see through you!"
Xu Fu was indeed very fake.
And a typical example of a hypocrite.
What is a hypocrite?
It’s someone who, when he’s with a person, can ensure he’s wholeheartedly good to her during that time.
Making the person feel as if living in a sweet jar of honey.
But when it comes to making a choice, he won’t hesitate, definitely cutting off all ties ruthlessly.
And in everyday life, such a person rarely shows his true inner world.
He’s extremely good at disguising his inner self!
Over time, he might not even tell if he’s truly sincere or just playing a part.
But precisely what kind of person Xu Fu was, Chen Xiao didn’t care to concern himself with.
He just wanted to know what Wang Hao—oh wait...Wang Hao had revealed to Xu Fu.
He also suspected that Wang Hao and Wang Mei might have actually met before the incident happened.
And the person who bought candy for the little girl that day was likely not sister Qiu Tingfang, but sister Wang Hao!
As for why Qiu Tingfang didn’t announce she had already found her sister, the reason might be tied to their deaths.
But what exactly was the reason?
When Chen Xiao pondered this question, the word "train station" emerged in his mind!
Chen Xiao looked again at Xu Fu.
However, he did not ask if Wang Hao had mentioned anything about her parents’ death at the train station, but asked another question:
"She must have left something behind, right?"
Chen Xiao asked, and Xu Fu nodded in surprise, "Yes, during our last phone call, she asked me to help her buy the house she was living in. It was cheap at the time, and I felt guilty, so I secretly used some money to buy the house."
"Later, I stayed there for a while, thinking she was still living there. But after asking around, I found out she had kept the house empty, never living there again."
"Where is that house located?" Chen Xiao asked urgently, then he immediately grabbed Xu Fu:
"You might as well take us there directly!"
