In the silent night, only the ticking of clocks echoed in the air.
The empty to lonely living room is filled with a strong smell of wine and choking tobacco.
Bottles of red wine and beer are scattered all over the living room, and a thick layer of soot has been accumulated in the ashtray on the tea table.
Huo Tingdong fell on the sofa and fell asleep with a frown.
His heavy breathing and undulating chest showed that he slept quite restlessly.
Suddenly, the wall clock on the wall sounded a "bell" to tell the time. The man suddenly woke up, half stood up, clattered from the nearby desk, picked up several bottles of medicine, poured it into the palm of his hand, and swallowed it in his mouth.
After eating, he immediately closed his eyes and forced himself into the unstable sleep.
Even if it's a nightmare, it's better than sitting alone with empty eyes and missing her.
*********************************
I don't know who has no eyesight to see her son. The news of Ye Jinxin falling into the Sea reached Huo Mu's ears. As soon as the old lady heard that Huo Tingdong shot Ye Jinxin, she accidentally fell into the sea. Immediately, the raging anger temporarily suppressed the heartache.
The old lady bought a plane ticket overnight and killed Huo's house.
The old lady has made a decision all her life, but she is still tough when she is old. She is Ye Jinxin's grandmother and the girl's only relative. Huo Tingdong hurt her without conscience, so she should avenge her!
When Huo's mother arrived, it was more than six o'clock in the morning. She didn't inform anyone, not even Huo Tingdong.
Because she had the key to Huo's house in her hand, she opened it directly and went into Huo Tingdong's bedroom to catch people.
As soon as she entered the room, she choked. There was an indelible smell of tobacco and wine everywhere in the room.
I didn't say anything when I wanted to meet. I gave him a stick first.
But when she saw the man who seemed to have lost his soul lying on the bed, her anger suddenly turned into unspeakable heartache.
Huo Tingdong was lying in bed with his upper body naked. He may have drunk too much. The lower part of the corners of his eyes was blue, the blood loss of his lips was very white, and the stubble on his chin made him look decadent and embarrassed.
All the words of Huo Mu choked on her throat. She could only stand beside him with tears in her eyes, shook her head and muttered, "what a sin, what a sin!"
It may be an instinctive sense of prevention. Huo Tingdong soon realized that there was someone in the room. He was sleeping, so he slowly opened his eyes.
When he raised his arm and saw that it was Huo mu, he said faintly, "Mom, why are you here?"
Huo's mother knocked on the floor with her mahogany walking stick. "Why do you think I'm here? I'm taking revenge for that hard-working girl."
Huo Tingdong's eyes flashed sharp pain, but he soon recovered his expressionless face. He got up from the bed with his upper body naked, took out a shirt in the wardrobe and said, "Mom, you sit here first and I'll take a shower."
Then he picked up his clothes and went into the bathroom.
Huo Mu shook her head and sat down in the next chair.
Within ten minutes, Huo Tingdong came out of the bathroom.
It's like a different person.
His beard was clean, his clothes were neat and straight, and his tall and straight posture was dignified and heroic by the well trimmed Italian suit.
In addition to a little purple on the bottom of his eyes, the resolute face is still Huo Tingdong, President of Huo's company.
"Mom." Huo Tingdong stamped the floor with his shiny leather shoes and said casually, "I may not be able to accompany you today. The Shanghai Branch of the company has some problems in real estate development. I'll go and have a look. If you feel bored, I can call Zhou Hao and let him drive around with you."
Huo Mu shook her head and hesitated for a while. She still couldn't help but say, "can you stand it so much?"
People are bright in front of them, while people are drunk and dream of death.
This kind of self repression and self deception is an absolute psychological destruction.
Huo Tingdong was stunned, sneered and whispered, "I'm not holding on, I'm... I can only live like this."
Huo Mu sighed heavily. "I know there is a famous psychologist in Songcheng. Let me make an appointment for you today."
"Say more." Huo Tingdong lowered his head and adjusted his shirt cuffs. "You'll come to clean up later. If you feel uncomfortable, you can go upstairs... You can rest at any place except Jinxin's room."
"Tingdong." Huo Mu said solemnly, "that girl... That girl has been away for so long. Why didn't you hold a decent farewell ceremony for her."
As he spoke, the old man couldn't help sobbing and continued in a hoarse voice, "our Jinxin is still so young. She works so hard when she lives, so she should walk in the wind and scenery! She is our Huo family. She should let her enter our Huo family's mausoleum. You don't have to worry. I'll inform you later..."
"Mom." Huo Tingdong interrupted her. "Don't prepare any farewell ceremony. Ye Jinxin didn't die."
Huo's mother suddenly felt a pain in her heart, sighed and said, "why bother you, if the girl is in the sky..."
"Stop talking!" Huo Tingdong suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "I said, she's not dead! She's just temporarily missing now. Soon, soon, I can find her!"
Huo Mu looked at the pain and struggle in his eyes and said helplessly, "OK, OK, I won't mention entering the clan mausoleum first. It all depends on your own arrangement, Tingdong. I just hope you can come out quickly. I'm old and can't stand any storm."
Seeing the white hair on Huo's mother's head, Huo Tingdong's eyes were hot and choked his voice and said, "Mom, what happened to Jinxin......"
"OK." Huo Mu interrupted him. "You go to work first. I'm in a hurry. I'm a little tired now. I'll go upstairs and have a rest."
Huo Tingdong gave a deep sound and turned to go out.
After sitting on the sofa for a while, Huo Mu went to the table again.
There is also the dinner that Huo Tingdong didn't clean up last night.
Two chairs, two sets of tableware.
There is also a bowl of neatly placed rice piled with all kinds of meat.
That's the food Huo Tingdong brought to Ye Jinxin. It's all she likes to eat.
