Chapter 259 Please, let me be kind once
At ten o'clock in the evening, An Zhengming had returned home from socializing.
He had just finished taking a shower when he received a strange phone call.
He answered the answer button and said politely: "Hello, who are you?"
Under the guidance of Ji Yue and Brother Fang, he knew that those in his line of work must pay attention to his words and deeds, and not allow others to catch him with any evidence or negative information, so even if he just answered a strange phone call, he would still speak politely.
A soft and capable woman's voice sounded out in a low voice: "Zhengming, I am Lu Xiaoxiao."
He frowned slightly.
Before he could speak, Lu Xiaoxiao said quickly and clearly: "I know you remember me but don't want to see me, and I don't have the face to see you. I called you just to tell you the truth about that year."
Her voice was slightly choked: "I'm not defending myself. I will pay the price for my actions, but you have the right to know the truth."
After An Zhengming listened in silence, he said calmly: "You tell me."
Lu Xiaoxiao told a sad story in a slightly sad tone.
"My father is a domestic violence man. He beats my mother every time she drinks too much. Every time my mother wants to divorce, my father says he will beat her to death if she dares to divorce."
"When my mother was desperate, she asked her parents for help, but her mother and her father divorced and there was no news. Her father, brother and younger brother didn't help her. They blamed her for not knowing how to serve her husband. She is a useless waste. .”
"The reason why she married my dad was because she was deceived and abandoned by her first love when she was a student. After graduation, her family lied to her that my dad was a good, honest man and she would not suffer any loss if she married him, so she believed him. "
"My mother hated men because of these things."
"She taught me not to believe in men or love, so that my life would not be ruined by men."
"It wasn't until I was in junior high school that my father drank too much and fell from a building. As a result, his legs were disabled and he could no longer hit my mother. My mother was able to get a divorce and took me to rent a house outside. She worked alone to raise me. .”
At this point, she paused slightly and her breathing became a little disordered, as if she was trying to calm down the emotions in her heart.
An Zhengming still listened calmly without saying a word.
Lu Xiaoxiao even suspected that he was not listening, but these words had been buried in her heart for a long time, and she must say them out.
"During the summer vacation before my second year of high school, I was pestered by Zhao Cheng, and my grades plummeted. My mother was very angry."
"Shortly after school started, my mother found my diary in my pillow. The diary was filled with my admiration and yearning for Boy A."
"He is handsome but not aware of it, excellent but not arrogant."
"He doesn't like to talk, but he is the most proactive, serious and responsible person in the class."
"During physical education class, if a classmate is injured or feels uncomfortable, he will take the initiative to tell the teacher and send the classmate to the medical clinic."
"There is garbage on the ground in the classroom. He always cleans or picks it up silently and takes it downstairs to throw it away without saying a word."
"When a classmate asks for leave or is sick, he will make copies of his notes and give them to the classmate, and he will also help the classmate make up classes."
"He often helps the teacher clean the blackboard, turn on the water, and get homework for the teacher."
"In short, no matter how thick my diary is, I can't write all the good things about him."
Lu Xiaoxiao laughed while talking.
Laughing and crying at the same time.
"My mother believes that A and I fell in love prematurely, and it was A that caused my grades to decline."
"She burned the diary in front of me and asked me who A was, but I didn't tell her."
"After that incident happened, my mother confirmed that you were the A in the diary, and she even hated you."
"Later, the Zhao Cheng family sent someone to contact my mother and said that as long as I changed my story, the four of them would pay our family a huge amount of compensation..."
She told the story of how the Zhao family and four other families bribed her mother.
Then she sobbed softly: "My mother said that if I don't agree, she will die."
"She's not trying to scare me. When she was abused by my father, she cut her wrists, climbed over the roof of the building, and let off the gas. I was very afraid that she would really die."
"She asked me to choose between her and you..."
"She also said that she has been despised and betrayed by the people closest to her all her life, including her mother, father, brother, younger brother, husband, including me..."
"I couldn't bear the pressure and obeyed her..."
At this point, she was in tears.
An Zhengming still didn't respond.
Lu Xiaoxiao didn't cry for long and quickly regained her composure: "This is the whole truth."
"A mistake is a mistake. No matter how much you say it, it is still a mistake. I will not ask you to forgive me."
"If my mother comes to trouble you again, you can disclose everything I just said. This will clear your name."
When An Zhengming heard this, he calmly said: "I didn't record it, so what you said will not become evidence."
"But my lawyers are already gathering evidence and looking for witnesses, and I just want a fair and impartial trial."
Lu Xiaoxiao was shocked again.
After a long while, she smiled with tears in her eyes and said: "An Zhengming, you are the most upright and reliable man I have ever met. If possible, I really want to give you the diary I wrote in high school so that you can see what I did back then." I look up to you and adore you so much.”
An Zhengming remained calm: "That's it, goodbye."
He hung up the phone.
In the darkness, Lu Xiaoxiao was huddled in the corner of the living room with her bare feet, holding her knees in one hand and her mobile phone in the other, letting her tears fall on the floor.
I do not know how long it has been.
"Click".
The door opened.
A man walked in and flipped the chandelier switch.
The light stung Lu Xiaoxiao's red and swollen eyes, causing her to close them subconsciously.
"Xiaoxiao?" Gong Yuxia was surprised to see her when she came in, "Why don't you turn on the lights at home? Also, why are you sitting on the floor with your hair disheveled? Get up quickly. Mom brought your favorite cake. And crawfish.”
Lu Xiaoxiao slowly opened her eyes, looking straight at Gong Yuxia through her black hair.
"Mom..." Her voice was hoarse, "I saw this evening's road show on my phone. Why did you go to An Zhengming?"
"He didn't do anything wrong, and it's been so many years, why can't you let him go?"
Gong Yuxia's smiling face instantly turned cold.
She stood next to the shoe cabinet, holding a bulging grocery bag in one hand. Her voice was as cold as a high-power air conditioner: "Are you accusing me of being a bad person?"
"I worked hard to raise you and put all my efforts into you. Now that you have become a famous announcer and host, you start to accuse me of not being a good person?"
"That's not what I meant!" Lu Xiaoxiao shook her head with tears in her eyes, "I just said that we have received so many benefits from him and are living well now, so let's not go looking for him again, okay?"
"He really doesn't owe us anything..."
"Of course he owes us!" Gong Yuxia roared, holding up the late-night snack she bought for her daughter, hitting her hard on her body, and almost roaring, "It's been so many years, and you still miss him, and you still miss him. I want to tell you what happened back then! Do you know that telling those things will ruin your future? "
"I can't hurt you or beat or scold you. Of course I can only accuse him and drive him out of your life completely!"
"I'm not obsessed with him." Lu Xiaoxiao didn't react to the things that hit her and cried, "I promised you that I will never have anything to do with him again in this life, why are you still holding on to him? Don’t want to let go?”
"Because you lied to me!" Gong Yuxia rushed over with her shoes on, grabbed her daughter's mobile phone on the coffee table, and smashed it on her body. "You think you blocked me in Moments, so I can't see what you posted in Moments. Photo?"
Her memory is not very good, but she can clearly remember that line of text and read it out in an extremely mean voice: "Today, I finally met him. He is still so upright and handsome. I believe that this must be a gift from God to me." A chance to make amends!”
She was like a tiger with its tail cut off, her whole body trembling with anger: "I worked so hard to raise you, and this is how you lied to me?"
Lu Xiaoxiao looked at her in shock: "You, you peeked into my circle of friends?"
"You promised me you would never check my phone again..."
"That's because you deceived me first!" Gong Yuxia didn't feel she was wrong at all, and said in a very loud voice, "If you don't have anything shameful to do, why don't you dare to let me see your phone?"
"Why are you blocking me again?"
Tears blurred Lu Xiaoxiao's vision.
On a summer night in early July, she felt as if she was on a cold December night, with chills all over her body.
Her white lips kept trembling, but she couldn't say a word.
She knew too well that nothing she said would be of any use...
It used to be so.
This is the case now.
This will remain the case in the future.
Finally, she fell forward on her knees, knelt in front of Gong Yuxia, and murmured: "Mom, you are not wrong."
"It was me who was wrong."
"It's because I'm useless, it's because I'm worthless, it's because I took the initiative to fall in love with An Zhengming."
"I killed him."
"So, I beg you, please let me be kind once, take responsibility for the mistakes I made back then, and put An Zhengming's life back on track."
