Chapter 89
Yue Zhi easily not come to Russia, a variety of business talks will be too much to stop, a whole day did not show up.
At noon he sent a message to Qing Li, asked her if she wanted to go over and eat lunch with him.
Qing Li lightly glanced at the phone, immediately rejected, [No, I’m waiting for Dr. Cronin, and then have to go to the sanatorium again, Xiji will be with me, you don’t have to care about me.
Yue Zhi left Xiji behind to monitor Qingli in the name of protection, so he didn’t say anything more.
At three o’clock in the afternoon, Cronin arrived on time, wearing a gray suit, his silver-white hair was meticulously cleaned, “I came to see Miss Qingli.”
“She seems to still be sleeping ……,” said Saiji.
“I’m awake.” Aonashi said as she came out of her room and stood in front of the railing,looking down from above.
West pole looked up, feel some strange, although the green pear is still that expressionless cold arrogant look, but he always feel what is not the same, before she gave people the harsh arrogance, mostly because of her looks born with, but the eyes are always quiet and bright, but today, even the eyes seem very cold.
“You did not go out of the room for a day, is not which is not comfortable, jet lag has not been inverted?” Xiji asked.
Qing Li shook her head and walked down the circular staircase, “Mr. Cronin, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to talk to me about my father.”
She looked at Xiji again, “Can I talk to Mr. Cronin alone?”
Xiji frowned and did not say anything.
Qing Li understood that Yue Zhi had asked him to spy on her, so she didn’t say anything else.
Cronin sat across from Qing Li and didn’t hold back from looking at her face, “You and Valentine look really similar, especially those eyes, obviously a mixed blood, the genetics are quite good, so many of their family’s offspring haven’t inherited those gray eyes.”
The aura and feeling he gave off was very similar to Qing Li, detached and cold, and there was no offense when he said this, it was just a flat statement.
“Yeah.” Aonashi didn’t know what to say, where to start asking, rubbing his hands together.
It was Cronin who spoke first, “How much do you know about your father’s family?”
Qing Li thought for a moment, “It is a close relative of the Russian Romanov dynasty czar, survived the coup d’état’s extermination and cleansing of Nicholas II and his bloodline, the family’s capital has been preserved and developed, on the surface, they call themselves republican citizens, but in reality, they attach great importance to their lineage, and the objects of their marriages for generations have all been the descendants of Europe’s inferior royals or aristocrats.”
These were also what Yue Zhi had told her.
Cronin nodded, “Not wrong, this is all true, is there more?”
“In the 1970s, there was a son in their family who wanted to marry a South American woman who went to study in Russia even though he had to break with the family, as a result, in the end, that woman was killed by the head of the family with a dozen or so gunshots, and the son was unfortunately injured and left with a lifelong disability, and the head of the family was taken in to stay for a few days, and finally spent money to settle the matter.”
Cronin froze, or rather his eyes completely emptied, as if recalling something from the past, half a day without speaking.
“Mr. Cronin?” Aonashi called to him softly.
“There are just so many fallacies in this matter.” Cronin said, “The matter you are talking about actually happened in 1986, that son is actually Valentin’s elder brother, and that woman is not his lover, it was just a South American immigrant who was working as a helper in his house at that time, and was implicated in it, and was hit by the old Yegor four times, and was not rescued.”
This kind of family secret who is taboo, time and characters on the discrepancy is very normal, Qing Li surprised at the main character is actually his own eldest uncle, “Then he …… my father’s brother’s lover who is, he is now okay?”
“It’s me.” Cronin looked at Qing Li and calmly said, “Old Yeager, even if he said to the public that his son was abducted by a whore . Woman abducted, he wouldn’t admit that his son fell in love with a person of the same sex, so this rumor is kind of all in his face.”
“Ava …… August he, passed away in zero two years, before he died, he explained that he wanted me to make sure to take care of your father, that’s why I’ve been his attending physician.” Speaking of his lover, Cronin’s icy expression became much softer, he unconsciously rubbed the ring on his ring finger, and his tone eased a lot.
Qing Li couldn’t say anything, she hadn’t been exposed to this, but didn’t feel that this kind of love was foreign, she just lamented Cronin’s deep love, accompanying and caring for her lover for more than ten years after her lover’s disability, and caring for her lover’s younger brother after her lover’s death, in the end, how much love can one selflessly give to such a point.
“You can call me uncle, I’ve been wanting to meet you since twenty years ago, finally, you’re very similar to what Valentin has been chanting about, a beautiful little girl.” Cronin changed his stance, “Let me start with you at the beginning or you’ll get confused.”
Aonashi nodded.
“August was born in 19□□, a full ten years older than your father Valentin, who is only forty-nine this year, and in eighty-six August was going back to England with me, and was stopped at our rented house, and old Yeager was about to shoot me dead on the spot, and my housemaid, the South American woman of the rumor mill, stopped the bullets for me, and two more rounds hit August, up his spine, and he was paralyzed in the lower part of his body.”
Because of this, old Yeager was imprisoned for a few days and released again, but did not feel that he was wrong in any way, and even said that it was Cronin’s fault that August would be paralyzed, and that it was his punishment for violating human decency and falling in love with a man.
But never minded their business after that.
“Your father was only twelve years old when the accident happened, he and his brother were very close, and this incident affected him a lot, so when he first came to August to say that he had fallen in love with an Asian woman, he was so helpless that he cried, he was afraid that your mother would be hurt.”
Aonashi couldn’t help but sit up straight and listen carefully to every word, doing her best to recreate her parents’ past.
“The four years from when he met your mother in ninety-nine to when you were three years old in zero-three, he basically stayed in Southeast Asia, going for a few months at a time, coming back halfway through to stay for no more than a few days before he had to leave again, and in the middle of all this, August died again, and he was only thirty-eight years old when he did so, and this was all because of Old Yegor, and Valentine came back to participate in the funeral, and his fear of his own father went up to a higher level, and he even dreamt of you and your mother were killed by Old Yeager.” Cronin said.
“Valentin is not a coward, he is just too gentle, to be honest, those years if it wasn’t because he mediated and conciliated from him, the Yeager family would have fallen apart, after August was disabled, old Yeager put all the family’s hopes on him, and early on gave him a good lookout for a marriage, the other party was also a nobleman’s descendant, which made Valentin even more panicked, and even more afraid to mention the matter of your mother and daughter.”
Qing Li lowered her eyes, thinking about Valiant King’s appearance yesterday, suddenly somewhat relieved, “It’s not that he doesn’t want us, right?”
Cronin’s expression became serious, “Only this point you can’t doubt, if it wasn’t for the fact that he always remembered you and your mother, he wouldn’t have been driven mad alive.”
“Driven …… crazy? What do you mean by being driven mad?”
“In the year zero three, old Yeager still knew about the existence of your mother and daughter, then he was restricted from leaving the country, there was no way to visit you anymore, in order to let his father let down his guard, he concentrated on his work and secretly transferred money to that man called Hansa in Indonesia as a way of obtaining news of you, photos and videos and so forth, and also asked him to treat you and your mother well. ”
“It lasted like that for three years, during which time he wasn’t even able to make a single phone call to your mother, and it lasted like that until zero-six, when old Yeager brought your mother’s ashes.” Cronin lowered his eyes, looking a little more vaguely pained, so eager to remember the painful scene.
“My mother’s ashes? Is she here, is she buried here?” Qing Li almost jumped up and grabbed Cronin and asked, she never knew where her mother was buried, even Qing Sudi didn’t help her find out, so it was here?
“It’s still in the church, I can take you there afterward.” Cronin said. “Old Yeager said your mother committed suicide and told him to break it off, get married and take care of the family.”
“No, my mother didn’t commit suicide, she was beaten to death, by the woman named Vito, Hansa Tsing’s third wife, who had been waiting for my father.” Aonashi said.
“True enough.” Cronin grunted, “I felt something was wrong at that time, a few months before your mother’s ashes were brought in, by then your father’s anxiety and depression had gotten so bad that he said he wanted to go to Indonesia anyways, and I couldn’t get out of Russia until now because I was helping him, and he and I were already on a plane, but in the end, we were stopped. ”
At that time Cronin had a bad feeling when he looked at Old Yegor’s harsh expression, a few weeks after that he happened to learn that Old Yegor had sent a man to Indonesia, and it wasn’t long before Aonashi’s mother died.
Qing Li’s entire body stiffened, ”Are you saying that he sent someone to Indonesia to conspire with Hansa Qing to kill my mother in order to cut off my father’s thoughts? No, Hansa Qing was still counting on asking my father for money through my mother all the time, and tried his best to save her for a long time in the back, he should not know about this matter …… was cooperating with Vito?”
She thought it was strange, Han Sa Qing is not a very impressive person, but also a little bit of ability, how can be in Vito’s body to fall, property rights were transferred not to mention, but also under the chronic poison, and finally died a tragic death, Vito a former human trafficking camp, no background and no background, no background, no background, no background, no background, no background, no background, no background, no background, no background, no background, no background, no background. Vito a former human trafficking camp, no background no financial strength of the woman, just rely on a nephew has been Hansa Qing suppressed, how can do this degree.
It turns out that there are even more powerful forces behind it, so it turns out, so everything makes sense.
“That’s right, seeking the Qing family’s fortune is one aspect, that woman called Vito likes your father a lot, it’s normal to be cynical about your mother, you may not know, she once chased after Valentin to come to Russia once, but she was driven back, the old Yegor must not be able to see her as well, but it should be because she feels that this woman can be utilized, which is why she will take the initiative to find her later on. ”
Cronin spoke, his emotions basically calm, after all these years, the Yeager family didn’t recognize his existence, but he, whether as August’s lover or as Valentin’s attending physician, had long been so deeply associated with the family he hated so much, that there was basically nothing he didn’t know already.
Aonashi sat quietly, digesting the truth.
Cronin had stood up, “It’s good that you father and daughter recognize each other, Valenkyo’s desire to heal and survive is very low, you can be said to be the last thing he has on this earth, I hope you can visit him more often, it will be beneficial to his condition.”
“I will.” Qing Li followed and stood up, sending her out, “Cronin …… uncle, I still have a request.”
Saiji stood in the doorway of the room and watched Aonashi and Cronin talk in the courtyard before Cronin finally handed Aonashi a piece of paper or something and left in the car.
“What is it?” Saiji asked.
“Old Mr. Yeager’s address, he’s my grandfather anyways, so it should be okay if I go see him.” Aonashi said going upstairs to change, “You want to come with me?”
“Of course, it’s not too much to say that old man is your enemy, how can I let you go alone.” Xiji said.
“Then I’ll come down and we’ll go.” Qing Li closed the door and started to change her clothes.
A few minutes later she walked out, “Let’s go, hurry up.”
Saiji looked at her dumbfounded, “That’s a gun in the box gin case behind you isn’t it, what are you doing?”
Qing Li walked down slowly, “You either come with me or stay and don’t ask too many questions.”
“I have to report this to Yue Zhi.” Xiji said as he took out his cell phone, but stopped moving when he looked at the barrel of the gun on his chest, “What are you doing? You think you can beat me?”
Qing Li slowly moved his thumb to open the safety of the gun, “I can’t beat you, and I don’t want to fight you, but if you dare to reveal a little bit, I’ll send the evidence of the information Liang Jin and Li Chaoke exchanged to Yue Zhi.”
“What?!” Xiji instantly exploded, “Do you know what you’re saying!”
Qing Li looked at him, her gaze cool, “Want to try?”
Xiji took a few sharp breaths and grumpily put down his cell phone, “Let’s go.”
