Chapter 163 It turns out
Ji Fengfan picked up the record and pointed at the photo on the cover. It was the owner of the record, Shen Jiangyue, a female star in film, television and music who was very popular at the time.
Xia Qingqian looked at Ji Fengfan who was trying to hold back his anger and swallowed unconsciously, "What do you want to do..."
Ji Fengfan realized that his anger frightened her, took a deep breath, handed the record in his hand to Xia Qingqian, and asked, "Do you know each other~"
Xia Qingqian took the record blankly, "Know...someone..." She still didn't understand what Ji Fengfan meant. They were just talking about Shen Shuyi...liking him...
"It's good that I know her. She is my mother." Ji Fengfan nodded and said directly.
"......What?" Xia Qingqian still held the record in her hand, feeling as if she was hallucinating. She asked blankly, looking at Ji Fengfan with a pair of confused eyes, forgetting to react.
Ji Fengfan took a step forward, standing half a foot away from her, with his hands on his waist. He seemed to be very angry and repeated, "I said, Shen Jiangyue is my mother. Did you hear me clearly this time?"
After saying this, with a smile on his lips, he stared at Xia Qingqian, waiting to see her reaction.
Xia Qingqian felt as if her brain had short-circuited. It took her two full minutes to react to what Ji Fengfan said. She repeated in disbelief, "Shen Jiangyue is your mother?"
Ji Fengfan nodded, "Uh-huh." He put his hands down, then leaned lightly on the desk, crossed his long legs, and finally looked relaxed.
Xia Qingqian just wanted to scream at this moment, Shen Jiangyue was actually Ji Fengfan's mother!
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't connect these two people, let alone the mother-son relationship!
"Biological child?" Xia Qingqian blurted out.
Ji Fengfan was so angry that he wanted to hit her on the head and open it to see what was inside.
Xia Qingqian's mind was working quickly at this moment. No wonder Ji Fengfan had such a face that would bring disaster to the country and the people. It turned out that he looked like his mother.
"Looking at it this way... they really do look a bit alike..." Xia Qingqian took the record and looked carefully at the photo on it, then looked at Ji Fengfan and muttered to herself.
Ji Fengfan snatched the record from her hand and said unhappily, "I look half like my dad and half like my mom." After all, his dad wasn't bad looking either.
Xia Qingqian stood on tiptoe anxiously to snatch the record back, and said flatteringly, "I know you must have a lot of signed records, can you give me this one?"
Ji Fengfan raised his eyelids and glanced at her, "...Okay..."
Xia Qingqian held the record to her chest like a treasure, turned her head and asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier!" They had clearly watched Shen Jiangyue's movie together before, and she had said that she liked Shen Jiangyue very much, but he didn't even mention it!
The smile on Ji Fengfan's face froze, he stood up and walked out, saying lightly, "The person is dead, what's there to mention."
Xia Qingqian held the record with a frozen smile on her face. She watched Ji Fengfan walk out of the study room with a dejected and lonely back. Her whole body exuded a deep sadness, and she seemed to be surrounded by that suffocating sadness.
Xia Qingqian came to her senses, put the record down, and hurriedly chased after him.
Ji Fengfan was not in the living room, so she rushed to the kitchen, but there was no one there. There was also no one in the bathroom. Finally, she found a figure in the bedroom.
Xia Qingqian pushed open the bedroom door and saw Ji Fengfan standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. With his current status, he is always surrounded by people wherever he goes, but the sadness that she felt just now seems to be even stronger at this moment.
He seemed to be immersed in his own sadness and loneliness, and this seemed to be the real him.
Xia Qingqian walked gently behind him, put her arms around his waist from behind, leaned against his broad back, and whispered, "I'm sorry..."
Ji Fengfan actually knew she was coming in when she opened the door, but he didn't expect that she would take the initiative to hug him...
He raised his hand and took hers, "I'm fine~ It's been a long time."
Xia Qingqian seemed to be able to sense his sadness and did not say "it's okay" like he said.
"Can you tell me? How did your mother... die?" Xia Qingqian said. She remembered that the news online said that an accident had occurred.
She thought, maybe it would be better to just speak it out. It would be better to have someone listen than to keep it all in her heart.
There was a long silence. Just when Xia Qingqian thought Ji Fengfan would not say anything, he spoke softly.
"I was 13 years old when they had the accident. That morning, my dad was on a day off and said he would take us out to play. My parents have a very good relationship. As long as my dad has time, the whole family will go out to travel because my mom likes it." Ji Fengfan said slowly with a calm expression on his face.
"As soon as we drove to a small road in the suburbs, our car was stopped by a van. Four or five masked men got out of the van and kidnapped my family of three. When I woke up, I found that we were locked up in an abandoned factory. Those people were seeking money. After being kidnapped, they kept us locked up but did not kill us for the time being."
Ji Fengfan seemed very sad and his mood was much lower. Xia Qingqian didn't expect the truth to be like this. Her heart was in her throat. She knew that what happened next must be related to the death of his parents.
Ji Fengfan took a deep breath and continued, "Later, on the third day after being kidnapped, the kidnappers seemed to have something important to do and went out together. My parents saw the opportunity and the three of us untied each other's ropes and prepared to escape. Just as we went out, someone came back at the door. My parents sent me out through the window and told me to run and call the police."
When he said this, Ji Fengfan's body began to tremble a little. Xia Qingqian hugged him tightly, wanting to comfort her.
"I jumped out of the window, remembering what my parents said, and ran desperately towards the main road. I finally got to the main road, stopped a tricycle, and just as I jumped on it, the abandoned factory exploded right in front of my eyes..."
"Uncle and aunt are..." Xia Qingqian couldn't bear to say it out loud.
Ji Fengfan turned around and nodded, "Yes, they died in the explosion."
"Why did the explosion happen? What did the police say in the end? Where are the kidnappers?" Xia Qingqian asked anxiously.
"The explosion must have been an accident. The abandoned factory was a chemical plant with a lot of flammable and explosive liquids. Maybe the kidnappers found out I had escaped and had an argument with my parents, and accidentally detonated the cans of liquid." Ji Fengfan explained, "The kidnappers also died in the explosion. Since there was no body left, their identities could not be found, so the case was left unresolved and could only be ruled an accident."
Xia Qingqian felt so distressed after hearing this, her eyes turned red.
What a cruel scene it was, a 13-year-old child witnessed the death of his parents.
