Just as Catherine and Li Zhili were looking at each other, Huo Shaoting appeared behind them and asked, "What's wrong?"
When Huo Shaoting's voice came out, Catherine was the first to look up at Huo Shaoting.
Huo Shaoting noticed her look and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Her face was so sharp, but her face was so pale.
Huo Shaoting has always been a sensitive person. When he noticed something was wrong with Catherine, he lowered his eyes slightly and asked, "What happened?"
Li Zhili was particularly panicked. He immediately stood in front of Huo Shaoting and said, "Shao Ting, nothing's wrong. I was just chatting with Qi Qi about something."
When Huo Shaoting heard this, his eyes fell on Catherine and did not move away.
Catherine's whole face was as quiet as a ghost. Huo Shaoting's eyes were always on her body and face, waiting for her reaction.
But soon, Catherine said: "It's nothing."
With just such a brief sentence, she stepped on high heels and left in front of Li Zhili.
Li Zhili watched her leave, wanting to chase her but not daring to.
Huo Shaoting then glanced towards the room and saw Mrs. Li's appearance inside, but he only heard her shouting one name: "Luo Zhilian."
…
After Catherine came out of Li's house, her whole body was tense and trembling. She sat in the car with her face lowered the whole time.
But in my mind are all the past, the mother who suddenly couldn't afford it, the mother who suddenly lingered on the sickbed.
In that short year, she lost her mother, she lost her grandmother, and she became an orphan.
At every stage and every node, there is Mrs. Li.
Suddenly, with her head lowered, she began to straighten up little by little and sat up, looking forward.
Huo Shaoting stood in the lobby of the Li family, looking at the people who had sat in the car. As long as she sat there, he stood in the lobby of the Li family.
Catherine turned her head from the car window with a cold look and glanced at him. After just one glance, she looked away and told the driver: "Let's go."
The taxi drove out from the main gate of Li's house.
Not long after the taxi left, Catherine received a call. She did not look at the call reminder on her phone, but answered it directly.
What came from inside was Yu Ming's voice: "Are you free?"
Catherine asked, "Is something wrong?"
Yu Ming said: "I have something to ask you."
She doesn't want to have any contact with him now, and she's not in the mood for the time being.
"It's about your stepmother."
When Catherine heard this, she frowned slightly, only for two or three seconds. Then, she stretched her eyebrows and said, "Say a place."
"good."
Yu Ming hung up the phone.
After hearing the hang-up sound, Catherine took the phone away from her ear. At this moment, her phone rang, and it was an address.
Catherine glanced at the address and told the driver to change the route.
After almost half an hour, the taxi drove to a very private club in the city. After Catherine appeared in the club, Yu Mingren was sitting inside waiting for her.
Catherine stood in the doorway watching him.
He was looking at her too.
"Yesterday was your sister Rina's death anniversary, right?"
Catherine did not expect the anniversary of Li Nai's death. He also knew that many people seemed to be paying special attention to this day.
She walked directly in and asked, "Well, what's wrong? Do you have anything to say about her nostalgia?"
Yu Ming was not familiar with her sister at all. Even before he dated Catherine, he had only seen her sister occasionally.
Despite being a stranger, Yu Ming didn't have any good impressions of her yet.
This was his impression of Lina.
"Remembering this kind of thing might be suitable for Huo Shaoting, right?"
He thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Yes, it is suitable for your stepmother and your father."
Catherine directly threw the bag in her hand on the sofa: "Speak directly, you know I don't like to beat around the bush."
"In order to save your sister, you sacrificed yourself, became your sister's childbirth machine, and gave birth to the child Huo Yi with Huo Shaoting. Do you regret your actions that moved God now?"
Yu Ming's words were undoubtedly sarcastic.
Catherine looked at him and stood there without moving.
Yu Ming sat on the sofa, his hands on the armrests of the sofa, his face relaxed and comfortable: "I have been investigating the Li family over the years, and I was thinking about what kind of family would allow a daughter who is in her prime and still in school. , are you going to sell your body to save my sister?"
Yu Mingxiao: "It was later discovered that it was a man who raped an unmarried woman but was already a father and a husband, and a hypocritical and vicious woman who was already a wife. The two teamed up to handle the rape case, and the wife took care of it for her husband. Holding onto his mess."
Catherine listened carefully to every word Yu Ming said.
"Later, the raped woman gave birth to a daughter. Eventually, her daughter was taken back to a so-called home by the couple, and the daughter was also controlled by the couple and became a mobile blood bank. A machine that keeps their daughter alive, do they love her?”
"Who would love a baby born as a result of rape? All love is just a means to control her."
"That girl ended up losing her studies, losing her boyfriend, and gave birth to a child with a man early, ruining her life."
Every word and sentence from Yu Ming made Catherine's heart tremble.
And in the next second, Yu Ming picked up something from the sofa, and then he put it on the table.
That is a file, a file exclusive to the police station.
Catherine reached out and picked up the dossier from the table. Her face was calm, but her eyes were looking down at the dossier, word by word.
It was a rape case about a drunk man who raped a tea-picking girl, and then the raped man's wife sued the tea-picking girl for seduction.
Among them, the other party's lawyer used extremely dirty methods in court, exploiting all kinds of legal loopholes to defend the man.
In the end, the court concluded the case and the man was acquitted.
The moment Catherine saw the acquittal, she put down the stack of files.
"It seems you've investigated a lot of things I don't know about."
"I've been thinking that I should tell you about this."
He reminded her: "There is a point you may not know. In the year when the girl was taken back to that home, her half-sister was diagnosed with a rare leukemia. , and the pathology results were obtained before the girl was taken back to that home."
Who is this girl?
In fact, everything is very clear and no special explanation is needed at all.
What would it have been like for Catherine a few years ago to hear this? Will it collapse? The entire worldview will collapse.
There was definitely no way she could survive in this world.
But what about Catherine now?
She was calm, unusually calm, and listened to all this calmly.
It's like listening to everything from an unrelated person.
