Chapter 430: He Won’t Come Back
Wang Yuan and Liu Xin were both very nervous and I looked at them, taking in all their expressions as I said, “Nothing.”
I didn’t tell them about suddenly remembering Yao Mubai.
The two seemed relieved, and after paying their respects, Liu Xin found a place where the three of them sat down to eat.
Since coming out of the cemetery, both of them looked preoccupied and spoke cautiously, giving me a feeling that they were hiding something from me.
After the food was served, I asked, “Wang Yuan, where is Yao Mubai, where is he now?”
“Old, boss ah, he’s in Tibet.”
“He’s in the north.”
Liu Xin and Wang Yuan opened their mouths at the same time, but they were talking about two different places.
The two looked at each other and Liu Xin said, “Before, Boss was in Tibet, the next stop I heard was the north, we just talked on the phone two days ago.”
Hearing that Liu Xin had talked to Yao Mubai on the phone, I said, “What’s his current phone number, I want to call him once to find out where he is.”
I hadn’t heard from Yao Mubai since the hasty glance at the entrance of THE Hill family.
Liu Xin said, “I don’t know, the boss was using a public phone to call me, now call back people are also definitely not in that place, every time he contacted me, we want to contact him impossible, Yao family suffered such a big change, the boss wants to go out to take a break, we also understand, he is such a high and proud person, but ended up with nothing, stay in the north city is also being Those people laugh at him, it’s good for Boss to leave this place of wrongdoing.”
Wang Yuan also chimed in, “Yes, every time, only Boss contacted me, we can’t even contact him, Alva, if you have something you want to say to Boss, then tell us first, and when Boss looks for us next time, we’ll relay it for you.”
I looked at the two of them and smiled to myself, “Why would he contact you guys but never me? Is he blaming me? I’m a broomstick, I go wherever I go, and anyone who gets close to me doesn’t have a good end.”
“Blah, blah, blah, blah, how can that be.” Wang Yuan even spat a few mouthfuls of saliva and said, “Alva, don’t think too much, the boss must not dare to face you, you also know that he is a good face, how much he likes you, but all of a sudden scribbled down, his self-esteem is so strong, how can he stand it, you also understand to understand him, maybe wait for a few years and he will come back after thinking it through, and he can still get his act together.”
A few years, I’m afraid I can’t wait for that day.
After knowing Yao Mubai for so long, I also know his temperament, if he doesn’t contact me, he won’t be able to find him.
I tugged at the corner of my mouth and barely raised a smile, “If he looks for you guys next time, please help me tell him that he must take care of himself when he’s out there alone.”
This was the only sentence I left for Yao Mubai.
Wang Yuan and Liu Xin both agreed in the same voice.
When we parted at the entrance of the restaurant after eating, Wang Yuan hugged me with a desire to speak, her eyes were red as she said, “Alva, take good care of yourself too.”
“Good.”
I promised her with a smile.
Wang Yuan added, “Live well, this is the only expectation of the Boss when he left, you are the person he couldn’t let go of the most in this world, you must be good and live well.”
“Good.” I still smiled and agreed.
I hadn’t even bothered to scrutinize what Wang Yuan meant by that phrase ‘when he was leaving’ at that time, I thought she was talking about when Yao Mubai left North City, but I didn’t know that she meant it in another layer.
I promised her to live, but only superficially promised, I don’t want her to worry, and I never told Wang Yuan that my days are numbered.
Probably to leave, for this city I have lived for more than twenty years, carrying too many of my memories, I actually a little reluctant to let go, my sweet and sour stay in this city, my favorite people, the people who love me most, are here, but I have to choose to drift in a foreign land, die in a foreign land.
I stood at the bus stop, waiting for the next bus.
Bus 520 arrived.
I took out two dollars of change and threw it in, probably because the Chinese New Year was coming, the bus wasn’t crowded anymore, lots of empty seats, I chose a window seat and sat down.
The bus goes through a total of eighty-one stops, circling around the third ring of the northern city.
Life has seven pains, old age, sickness and death, love and separation, hate, can not let go.
Take this 520 bus, after nine hundred and ninety-one stops, my life will come to an end.
Eighty-one stops, the trip nearly five hours.
I looked out the window of the car flashed one by one the scenery, this is the first time I so carefully looked at the city I have lived in, the heart is never had a calm.
At the end of the ride, I was the only one left.
At the eightieth stop, a familiar figure outside the window caught my eye, and I immediately said to the driver, “I want to get off.”
I immediately got off the bus, and when the red light jumped to green, I immediately ran over, “Auntie and Uncle.”
What I saw just now was none other than Cai Caiqin and Yao Bin.
Yao Bin has already awakened, sitting in a wheelchair, Cai Caiqin pushed him.
Yao family closed down, Yao Murong had an accident, and Yao Mubai left for a faraway place, leaving behind only two old men, as if they had aged a lot overnight, with gray hairs on their temples.
Cai Caiqin looked at me when the bottom of the eyes crossed a very complex emotions, Yao Bin stared at me, seems to have a lot to say, but only moved the corners of the mouth, said nothing.
Looking at the two people’s strange expressions, I was a bit puzzled: “Auntie and Uncle, are you guys okay now? Where are you guys staying? I’ll give you guys a ride.”
Looking at the two old men who had suffered a drastic change, I felt a pang of sourness in my heart.
There were vegetables placed under the wheelchair, the two should be living in this neighborhood.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Yao Bin smiled at me, “Thank you.”
Cai Caiqin didn’t say anything from start to finish.
I sent them back, only to know that they live in the Fancy Fairy District, rented a suite of one house, very small, but forty square feet, in the past, the Yao family a room is more than this big, before living in a few thousand square feet of mansion, but now they are renting a forty square feet of rented room, looking at this, my eyes can’t help but heat up.
If Yao Mubai saw all this, his heart would also be very difficult, right?
He and Yao Bin father and son do not get along, but with his mother good feelings, but why he let the two old people live here, he himself do not care to run to a distant place?
At that time I was very puzzled.
I help Cai Caiqin cooking, Yao Bin in the living room to watch TV, narrow kitchen, I washed the dishes turned back, I saw Cai Caiqin crying, I handed paper towels: “Auntie, do you have Yao Mubai’s contact information, I’ll call him, I told him to come back.”
At that time, I only thought that Cai Caiqin was crying because Yao Mubai had traveled far away and disregarded the two of them, I thought of calling Yao Mubai back for her, but when I opened my mouth to mention Yao Mubai, Cai Caiqin cried even harder.
“Auntie, what’s wrong with you?”
“Mubai he, he …” Cai Caiqin’s voice choked, “He won’t be coming back.”
