Chapter 6 Li Wei 05
I finally got on the train home alone.
Because I was worried about Li Wei.
After that chance meeting, Ji Yusheng came to me more than once to ask about Li Wei.
Li Wei hasn’t come back yet?
One week, two weeks, one month...
Weiwei was talking to me normally the whole time and was cleverly covering up her lies.
She said that she went on a tour to Tibet with a group of friends.
She said she was not at school, but she was not at home either. Tell Ji Yusheng that it was just a broken phone. I will give him a new one when I come back, and tell him not to look for me anymore.
She said, "Ai Ye, I'm fine, nothing happened, don't worry about it! We are climbing Mount Everest and we have to walk around the desert. The signal is not good during the journey, and I can't call you often. Take care of yourself. I will contact you once a week."
She said, "Hey, why don't you believe it? Have I ever lied to you in my life? I told you it's all right, why are you still imagining it?" I hung up.
I leaned back in my chair with my eyes closed, Li Wei's words on the phone echoing in my ears, and the feeling of panic in my heart became more and more intense.
If you didn't lie to me, Weiwei, why is your voice trembling? Why are you always in a hurry to hang up every time you call me? Weiwei, how long have we known each other? How could I not understand you? You have never lied to me, but I can feel your confusion as soon as you lie.
The midterm exams had just ended, and there was not much homework or things to do, except for the upcoming preliminary round of the entrepreneurship competition. Before leaving, I handed over all the information and future plans to another classmate, asking her to replace me and form a team with Cai Miao and others to participate in the competition.
Cai Miao and the others saw that I was feeling uneasy lately and didn't say anything. They just told me to go back and take a good look.
Suddenly separated from the team, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
All the hard work for so long was . However, to me, the meaning of the competition will never be as great as that of Vivi.
In fact, it was not a wasted effort. At least the information I collected and the plans I developed are all usable.
After coming out of the station, I hailed a taxi and headed to Li Wei's house.
When I finally stood at her door with my suitcase, the bleak scenery around me made me feel as if I was in another world.
It is the same mansion as I remember, but it always makes me feel like something is missing.
I rang the doorbell , and it took a long time for someone to open the door.
The person who opened the door was not the nanny I was familiar with, but Li Wei's mother.
When I saw Aunt Li standing at the door with a haggard face and looking at me in astonishment, I suddenly realized that Li Wei had indeed lied to me and that something had happened to her.
"Ai...Ai Ye! Why are you back? Are you looking for Xiaowei? Xiaowei..." Aunt Li stood at the door and couldn't continue speaking, her eyes red.
I looked at her hands busy wiping her eyes, noticed the bruises at the corners of her eyes, and the scars on her forehead from the stitches. My heart suddenly skipped a beat, and I spoke with difficulty, "Auntie, what happened? Weiwei...what happened?"
Aunt Li's tears immediately fell. She let me into the house and hurriedly wiped the tears from her face. She looked embarrassed and didn't know where to start.
"Auntie, please don't cry! What happened? Tell me, what happened to Weiwei?"
I held Aunt Li's arm with one hand and patted her back with the other hand to help her calm down.
After a long time, Aunt Li calmed down. She took me into the bedroom, sat on the sofa, tremblingly poured me a glass of water, wiped her tears, and began to talk to me with red eyes.
"It's all because of Xiaowei's heartless father! Xiaowei was harmed by him! It's ok that he was looking for a vixen behind my back, but he actually wanted to divorce me. I have been with him for most of my life, but he actually wanted to divorce me for that vixen. It turns out that the woman is pregnant with his child, and it's been six months, and it might be a boy. The woman wanted him to abandon us, mother and daughter, or she would not give birth to the child. As a result, your black-hearted uncle really came back to divorce me. I quarreled with him, and he beat me like this. Look at the wound on my face, he punched me, this man is so cruel! He beat me I was hospitalized. Later, a neighbor told Xiaowei. When Xiaowei came back and saw that I was beaten like that, she wanted to stand up for me. I couldn't stop her. You know, she has always been a hot-tempered girl. I was lying in the hospital. I don't know what Xiaowei did. Anyway, Xiaowei came to see me the next day. She was in a good mood and told me to rest and recover. But not long after, the cruel man rushed to the hospital with great momentum and took Xiaowei to the police station. Xiaowei is his biological daughter! He actually sent her to jail because Xiaowei was so angry that she beat that woman and caused her to miscarry..."
Aunt Li cried as she spoke, and I stood there in silence, listening.
I had expected that Li Wei would come back this time for family matters, but I didn't expect it to be so serious.
I know Li Wei's temper. She must be very angry when she saw Aunt Li being beaten like that, so it's not surprising that she went to cause trouble for her father's other woman.
What surprised me was that Li Wei’s father Li Guangming actually sent Li Wei to jail. It seemed that he really cared about his son who died before he was born.
"Xiaowei has been locked up for almost half a month. It's fine that he doesn't want me as his wife, but he doesn't even want our daughter. Even if Xiaowei went too far this time, he can't treat her like this! Woohoo, doesn't he just want to force me to divorce and be with that woman? Isn't it enough for me to agree? Just let him let my daughter out!" Aunt Li cried to me, stroking her chest.
I moved closer and sat next to her, patting her on the back and comforting her, "Auntie, don't worry yet. You said that Li Wei was only detained and the case has not been finalized yet! No matter how powerful Uncle Li is, he can't just put someone in jail so rashly. Besides, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Uncle Li must be very angry and wants to scare Li Wei, so he did this. Don't be too sad yet. Tell me where Li Wei is being held. I'll go there to see her and ask her what she did to that woman. After the matter is clarified, we'll discuss what to do. If you just stay at home and worry, you won't be able to release Li Wei, right?"
I don’t know how long I comforted her, but after I said everything I could, Aunt Li finally calmed down.
I poured her a glass of water, gave her a few tranquilizers to take, then I put on my bag, went out, and went to the detention center to see Li Wei according to the address she gave me.
The sky is overcast and it looks like it's going to rain.
I stood at the door of the Li family villa and looked up at the sky for a while. The dark clouds seemed to be pressing on my heart, making me feel a little depressed.
It turned out that Weiwei didn't go back to school because she was locked up.
