They didn't stay by the beach for too long, so Gu Nanxi took Xin Yao to the sanatorium because of the call from the city hall, and then left.

After making an appointment, I came to pick her up later and asked Xin Yao to rest in the sanatorium. Xin Yao was idle and took a slow walk in the sanatorium. When she arrived at the inpatient building in front, she saw two familiar doctors and walked over and asked where Shi Fang was.

It seems that I haven't been here for a while, and the last few times I saw Shi Fang were outside.

When Xin Yao found Shi Fang, Shi Fang was still sitting in a wheelchair in the hospital, with two nurses accompanying her behind her, while Shi Fang sat alone beside the fish pond in the backyard, staring at the small fish inside, and not speaking for a long time.

Xin Yao said she walked over and greeted the two nurses. She didn't walk forward until the nurse left.

Sitting carefully by the marble platform that was sunburned for the whole day, but now the setting sun was still not cold at all, looking at the quiet Shi Fang: "Auntie Shi, the nurse is gone."

Shi Fang slowly turned her head, looked at her for a long time, and then looked at her belly: "I heard that something happened to you in the Gu family. I have been in a sanatorium recently, so I can't go out to see you, but I didn't expect you to come first."

Xin Yao smiled, but stared at Shi Fang for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Xin Yao looking at her like this, Shi Fang's eyes were soft: "You kid, you seem to have something to worry about."

"My worries should not be as good as those of Aunt Shi, right?" Xin Yao stared at her.

Shi Fang's face sluggishly, and then hesitated to look at her: "Did you already know something?"

"I just want to know why my mother committed suicide back then? In fact, I have never understood it for more than 20 years. For a man like Ji Qiuhang who left all the time, how could she, an open-minded woman who lived in the United States, walk into a dead corner alone and commit suicide?" Ji Xinyao's eyes looked at Shi Fang for a moment: "Aunt Shi, I have seen an old man named Jian, I don't know if you have heard of this person."

Shi Fang's original face was calm. When she heard her mention Mr. Jian, she seemed a little stunned, and her eyes began to become dazed. It took about ten seconds before she recovered and looked at Ji Xinyao again.

"That time in City Y, my mother's cemetery, what you said..." Xin Yao paused for a moment, hesitated for a while before saying, "Is it to remind me something, right? But you didn't seem to want to say it later."

Shi Fang looked at her for a while, as if she had understood it, nodded: "Okay, I have never wanted to destroy the warmth and happiness in front of you. Child, in fact, I hope that your happiness now will not be a false image. I hope that the person you marry is not Gu Nanxi, but another husband who loves you, so that I will not hesitate for so long."

Xin Yao narrowed her eyes: "Aunt Shi means that my mother committed suicide back then is really related to the Gu family?"

"It seems that you really know something." Shi Fang sighed lightly, looking at the fish pond in front of her with a distant look: "Since you came to me to ask these, do you mind listening to a very long story."

Xin Yao took a look at the time and said lightly: "Is this very long story possible in two hours? Nancy will come to pick me up. He just went to the city hall."

"You will come to me suddenly, and he must have noticed it. What's rare is that he doesn't seem to be deliberately concealing you or deliberately lying to you, just reluctant to leave. He is indeed very nice to you, but it's a pity..."

Shi Fang sighed: "I don't remember it was more than 20 years ago, or even longer. Shan Xiaoou was still a straightforward, simple and enthusiastic girl. Even though... before she was born, life gave her too many bitterness and hardships. Shan Heping's misunderstanding of her mother led to Shan Xiaoou not seeing her parents since she was born. She grew up in her adoptive mother's family and grew up in the United States, but after learning about her life, she only had rejection and hatred for Shan Heping, a father who was related to her blood. Even though she left her adoptive mother and lived a difficult life, she never thought of going to find the father who had a great family to recognize her ancestors."

"I went to China and lingered in China. That year, she was less than 20 years old. Fortunately, when she was in the United States, she met a good friend Shi Fang. The Shi family was the agent of the largest military equipment manufacturer in China at that time. At that time, it was one of the top wealthy businessmen in China. Many times when Shan Xiaoou was very difficult, Shi Fang would lend a helping hand. Shan Xiaoou's personality was very strong and he knew how to be grateful. The two women who were good sisters gradually became deeper and deeper and often remained in love. Shi Fang and Shan Xiaoou gradually became more and more like each other in their daily life habits, including makeup. At that time, the popular bright red lipstick and very bright makeup were popular. The two good sisters often looked in the mirror and drew them so that they looked like twins from a distance. This was the greatest fun and game of their lives at that time."

"Shan Xiaoou found a new job in City Y. He had a good income and was a job related to painting. It was her career and her hobby. So she packed her luggage and went to City Y. It was the first day she arrived in City Y. Unfortunately, she met a man who almost ruined everything..."

"Ji Qiuhang?" Xin Yao asked.

Shi Fang paused, then nodded, but Shi Fang looked a little tired, as if she was also in pain for Shan Xiaoou when she mentioned these things about Shan Xiaoou.

Xin Yao stopped interrupting and listened to her.

"She met the handsome young Ji Qiuhang at the station in Y City. The man was cold and decisive, and was a soldier. At that time, she didn't know that Ji Qiuhang had already achieved great success in the army. At that time, Ji Qiuhang had not yet taken the position of Chief of Staff and was not so arrogant. At that time, Ji Qiuhang was a very good person. He was a dignified man and a majestic soldier. He didn't have so many bizarre experiences, but he just fell in love with him at first sight."

"Although I fell in love at first sight, the army leader of Ji Qiuhang happened to go to Shan Xiaoou's company to ask them to draw a few military-themed paintings, which were to be hung on the wall of the dormitory of the new recruits in the army. At that time, Shan Xiaoou was still intern in that company, but the style was good. He was selected by the boss and asked her to draw a few pictures. At that time, Ji Qiuhang and Shan Xiaoou, who came to see the paintings several times, became increasingly deeper and deeper... Once Ji Qiuhang was injured in his mission, rested for a while, and left the army. Shan Xiaoou and him were already in love, so he took care of him for granted. Over time, the relationship between the two became deeper and deeper."

"After three years after they fell in love, Ji Qiuhang and Shan Xiaoou had already studied it and got married in half a year. At that time, Shan Xiaoou was pregnant for one month. She was very happy and was waiting for her happy wedding. However, she did not expect that within a month, a woman named He Manni appeared in Ji Qiuhang's world. At that time, she realized that Ji Qiuhang had been secretly dating He Manni for more than a year behind her back. Finally, because the He family was powerful and could pave the way for Ji Qiuhang's future, he chose He Manni with the last chance to choose and abandoned Shan Xiaoou who was already pregnant with his child."

"Although Shan Xiaoou was sad, she wanted to abort the child, but in the end she was still unwilling to let her go. Shi Fang came to accompany her at the same time. She accompanied Shan Xiaoou for several months in City Y. Shan Xiaoou changed jobs again, but because of pregnancy, she had many jobs that she could not do, so she helped in an orchard, which is the old man named Jian you mentioned. Mr. Jian was very good to Shan Xiaoou at that time. After months of getting along, he gradually learned some of her things, and had a crush on her love journey. He sympathized with her and took good care of her."

"To be honest, Shan Xiaoou is very grateful to Mr. Jian, and he has been..." Shi Fang suddenly paused, glanced at Ji Xinyao who was listening carefully, and then shook her head: "Forget it, let me put it simply, these processes do not seem to be necessary for you."

"At that time, the country required another batch of new types of military equipment. Although Ji Qiuhang was still not the chief of staff, he was already a big figure in the Central Military Commission. In addition, he married He Manni, and he had a relative with Gu Yuanheng of the Gu family in Y City. Those military equipment cases back then..." Shi Fang suddenly smiled: "You would never have thought that those who really embezzled those money that were Ji Qiuhang and Gu Yuanheng that year, right?"

Ji Xinyao opened her mouth in surprise: "You mean..."

Shi Fang looked at her: "If I didn't pretend to be crazy, I would have been killed by Gu Yuanheng's father, the grandfather you are talking about now."

"Those who know the truth and have the evidence from that time, die, the sick, disappear, and I have to be crazy."

Have to be crazy...

Xin Yao shrugged her shoulders and pulled down: "Will that crystal necklace left by my mother be one of the stolen goods that Ji Qiuhang got at that time?"

"You guessed it right. Although Ji Qiuhang had already married He Manni at that time, he was not so heartless about Shan Xiaoou. He remembered that Shan Xiaoou liked that kind of crystal jade thing, so he specially sent the crystal necklace from the wife of the Brazilian president to the country, then wandered among the people, and finally gave her the crystal necklace that fell on the hands of the bribers. They not only got money, but also had many rare things. However, Ji Qiuhang took a necklace to the 'old lover' he had always been obsessed with in his heart. Logically speaking, Shan Xiaoou should not accept this thing. Although she still had love for him at that time, she hated him more, but something happened before that."

"Shi Fang's father was one of the participants in the military equipment case that year. Because of the connection, someone introduced Shi Fang to Gu Yuanheng. Gu Yuanheng has never been involved in meat outside for many years, and it is because Gu Zhanzhong has been very strict with his son. He has always been thief-hearted but not brave. At that time, Shi Fang's youthful beauty and a kind of vitality attracted him. Shi Fang met many leaders of the military district at that time. Because of Gu Yuanheng's relationship, she often went to dinner with them. She felt lonely by herself, so she often took Shan Xiaoou to go with her. Shan Xiaoou often accompanied her to those dinner parties at that time. Seeing Shi Fang becoming more and more shy and charming in front of Gu Yuanheng, Shan Xiaoou was very sober at that time. She could see that Shi Fang was being used by others. In addition to bribery of money, those people also added Shi Fang's beauty to completely drag the Shi family into the water and successfully dragged Gu Yuanheng down."

"Shan Xiaoou was actually very careful at that time. When Ji Qiuhang gave her the necklace, she pretended to like it, but then put the crystal necklace away. Shi Fang was already confused by Gu Yuanheng at that time. Shi Fang was more direct than Shan Xiaoou, and she had a stronger purpose in doing things. She also had a good family background and was also abusive by the family. Even if she knew that Gu Yuanheng had a wife and children, she still fell in."

"Shan Xiaoou couldn't persuade her, so he could only look at her and hide what Ji Qiuhang gave her. Because at that time, Shan Xiaoou guessed that whether it was the Gu family or the Ji family, they would not be arrogant for long. When the superiors found out that they would have to thoroughly investigate, they would definitely destroy or sell all the obvious stolen goods. However, Shan Xiaoou guessed correctly. Within a few months, the Gu family and the Ji family had a movement and handled it neatly. However, the Gu family's old man did a decisive job. After he knew about Shi Fang's affairs, he forced Shi Fang to knock out the child he had just been pregnant. Shi Fang refused, and Gu could not tolerate her. She fled abroad. However, when she gave birth to the child safely, she thought that the rice was cooked and cooked. When she came back with the child, she realized that what had happened over the past year turned out to be a trap. When she returned home, her home had been confiscated, her father was also executed, and she..."

Shi Fang sighed: "She and Shan Xiaoou were the only two women who knew the truth behind the scenes at that time. After all, Shan Xiaoou was in City Y and did not have much relationship with the Gu family, so Mr. Gu had no reason to deal with her first. Mr. Gu just wanted to deal with Shi Fang first. At that time, Shan Xiaoou had an idea for Shi Fang. If he wanted to save his life, he had to pretend to be crazy and be crazy completely."

"So, Shi Fang went crazy."

"But Mr. Gu didn't fully believe it. After knowing that she was indeed crazy, he did not give her a way out, but he did not force her to death. He just sent her to the United States and locked her up in a sanatorium from then on, intending to make her unable to leave for the rest of her life. I think that the old man did not attack Shi Fang at that time. It should be that Gu Yuanheng had a plea. In addition, the son born by Shi Fang would also make Mr. Gu consider a lot, so he just locked Shi Fang in a sanatorium in the United States forever."

"What about that necklace?" Xin Yao was puzzled.

"That necklace has been hidden in Shan Xiaoou's hands. Ji Qiuhang handled all the evidence the same. At that time, the Ji family also thanked Mr. Gu to help him come up with ideas. After all, the Gu Ji family was on the same boat at that time. Although Mr. Gu was reluctant, he had to ignore this matter."

"Did Mr. Shan not participate in that incident? I heard that he resigned from the position of the Central Military Commission that year, and his resignation was very sudden!" Xin Yao stared at Shi Fang: "Also, since Ji Qiuhang destroyed those things, why didn't he ask my mother earlier? But he had to wait until she died before looking for it?"

Shi Fang sneered: "Do you think he hasn't found it?" Gu Xi came.

Ji Xinyao said nothing, but just looked at Shi Fang's expression silently.

She always felt that something was deliberately hidden in Shi Fang's words, including his tone... she always sounded a little strange, but she couldn't say what was strange.

"Xin Yao." Shi Fang thought for a while before saying: "I don't want to talk about those details. If you have the opportunity to see the detailed records of those cases, you can understand them yourself. You will not understand those past relationships after you tell them, but there is only one fact that you must know, and you should have told you a long time ago, but you can't bear to say them."

"What?"

"Your mother Shan Xiaoou is indeed forced to death by Mr. Gu, the Gu family you love now, and forced to commit suicide. But before she died, she deliberately left a clue, which was the crystal necklace left for you."

"You must know that Shan Xiaoou was forced to death by Gu Zhanzhong, and the Gu family and Ji family are both selfish. For their own apparent peace and prosperity, they will kill everyone. What is the difference between this and taking human life? What is the difference between this and killing your mother with your own hands?" 13acv.
