Chapter 474 - 474: The Truth Ten Years Ago
Just as he turned to leave, Xu Wenping couldn’t hold it in anymore. He finally said those words. At that time, Li Xiaobo just stood up. Then, his body trembled and he slowly turned around.
“You, who are you?”
“I can tell you that my name is Xu Wenping. I believe you should know who I am.”
“You, you are, you are her younger brother?”
“That’s right. That person should be my sister. I’m very clear. At that time, I almost shouted it out. Moreover, it feels as if I’m an unfamiliar existence in front of her?”
“I’m sorry, I’m afraid you’ve really got the wrong person. Also, 1 don’t know anything about the Yuying Primary School you mentioned. I think you should go to another place to look for it.”
It seemed that he was very stubborn. Moreover, he did not intend to describe everything so quickly.
“Do you really think that you can cover it up like this? Do you believe that I can call the police right now and pull her out for a DNA test? In that case, our relationship as siblings will soon surface. If you want to alert the police, then we’ll do it.”
Now, Xu Wenping could only rely on this to oppress him. Moreover, he believed that, after all, he had done some illegal things, so under such circumstances, he should still be very afraid of these things.
“You, what do you want?”
“Let me ask you, what happened ten years ago? Also, I found Yang Yang from Zhuyang Real Estate and he told me everything that happened back then. If it’s really my sister now and she’s already married to you, then I can let bygones be bygones. However, there’s one more thing that I need to find out. If you’re willing to tell me, we can sit down and have a good talk.”
At this point, Li Xiaobo lowered his head. It was obvious that he was having a fierce struggle in his heart.
However, the more he acted like this, the more Xu Wenping could capture the subtle changes in his heart. After 10 years of the truth being buried, he believed the truth would gradually surface.
“There’s a teahouse up ahead. It’s quieter there. I’m friends with the owner. Let’s find a private room and have a good chat.”
Finally, he spoke. Xu Wenping felt very excited. He nodded gently and followed the man into the quiet teahouse.
After finding a private room, everyone had left. Now, only Xu Wenping and Li Xiaobo, who knew the truth, were left.
“Speak. Since I’ve already found this place, 1 can tell you that 1 will definitely investigate this matter. Tell me, what exactly was the situation?”
“I never thought that her family would come looking for me. To be honest, for the past ten years, I felt like I was woken up by this nightmare every day.”
“I heard from Yang Yang that you were going to take my sister to a nearby hospital for a checkup and then send her home. Why didn’t you do that? You didn’t send her home, so where did you take her? I understand now. You brought her here because you were afraid that she would tell the truth about what happened back then, right?”
“No, back then, I did bring her to the hospital for a check-up. However, after the doctor’s examination, he found that her brain had been hit, causing damage to her hippocampi. So, when she woke up and saw me, she couldn’t recognize anything.”
“What did you say? You say she really lost her memory?”
“At that time, she had indeed lost her memory. Logically speaking, I was really very happy when 1 saw that. Because I felt that since she had lost her memory, no one would ever know what happened to her. I originally wanted to leave her at the hospital and then leave. However, I didn’t expect that she would always follow me closely.”
“Follow you? I understand now. When a person loses their memory, they probably won’t know anyone else, but they can remember the first person they saw when they opened their eyes because that person can make them feel a strong sense of dependence. Is that what you mean?”
“That’s right, that’s what I meant. So, I couldn’t bear it at that time. I felt that it was too unfair for her. So, I gritted my teeth and stomped my feet, bringing her directly to our hometown. That way, 1 felt that no one would find out from a thousand miles away.”
“Don’t you know that everyone was looking for her? Have you seen the news or not?”
“I only found out about this after 1 left the county. However, I didn’t have the courage to bring her back. How could 1 say that I r*ped the girl and beat her until she lost her memory? Should I turn myself in? I didn’t have the courage. Really, I couldn’t do it. At that time, she was more dependent on me. Coincidentally, 1 liked her more. Gradually, the two of us had feelings for each other. After returning to our hometown, we held a wedding half a year later. From then on, we lived a normal life.”
“Did she really not mention anything about her memories?”
“She never mentioned it, but she often had dreams at night. She remembered that she seemed to be living in a very dilapidated building. Moreover, she had a younger brother and a father and mother at home, but she couldn’t remember who they were.”
“Well, she still knows everything subconsciously, right?”
“I could feel that her subconscious mind knew. If 1 could bring her back to her old place, or let her family stand in front of her, I believed that she would be able to recall. In the past two years, I noticed that she had been intermittently thinking about some things.”
“Then what do you plan to do next?”
“I just feel that if I really can’t hide everything, then I’ll tell her everything. It’s just that I don’t have the courage yet, and 1 don’t have the chance to tell her. Also, our child is already eight years old now. Really, we’re living a very happy life.. I hope, I hope you can let me go, okay?”
