"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 t her at the market; that day, I went to buy groceries, and she was fiercely arguing over a few cents with soone. But I didn’t pay much attention at the ti, as there were many people living frugally, and saving a di was a di saved."
"Who would have thought that the vegetable seller, for so 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 t a few more tis. She was kind-hearted, always thinking that because I helped her, she ought to repay . So she bought a lot of good food and said she wanted to invite for a al."
"It was during that al that we talked a lot, and I asked about her family. She told 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 , 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 rember her na, or did she herself choose to be called Wang Hao later on?"
"This was the na her parents gave her. She said her na was Wang Hao and her sister’s na was Wang i."
"Did she ever ntion where she was from?"
"She never ntioned that, only said she had never returned ho. 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 ho 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 eting her sister.
Thinking about this, Chen Xiao glanced at Xu Fu and then at his wife, continuing:
"At that ti, 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 soone 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 an 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 , then hit her belly, cursing herself for being shaless. I could only comfort her, and only after she was calm did I leave."
"But within a few days, she called 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 tis.
"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 soone broke her family.
It was because soone 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 , but had endured so much more hardship than . 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 blad myself a little for my body not being strong. But now, you’ve truly disappointed 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 soone who, when he’s with a person, can ensure he’s wholeheartedly good to her during that ti.
Making the person feel as if living in a sweet jar of honey.
But when it cos 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 extrely good at disguising his inner self!
Over ti, 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 i might have actually t 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" erged in his mind!
Chen Xiao looked again at Xu Fu.
However, he did not ask if Wang Hao had ntioned anything about her parents’ death at the train station, but asked another question:
"She must have left sothing behind, right?"
Chen Xiao asked, and Xu Fu nodded in surprise, "Yes, during our last phone call, she asked to help her buy the house she was living in. It was cheap at the ti, and I felt guilty, so I secretly used so 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 imdiately grabbed Xu Fu:
"You might as well take us there directly!"
