Reborn To Love

Chapter 270 Yi Qiansi's Story (4)

After the news about pandas in Country U was gone, there was a bright red caption on the bottom as the scene changed to a different setting underneath a large building.

'Wife of Yi Qinyu, Chairman of Yi Company, commits suicide by jumping off a building.'

After rereading the bright red letters too many times to count, Yi Qiansi's eyes widened as he jumped off the couch, listening intently to what the reporter was saying.

It was a little hard to hear over the loud chattering and car honking at the live sight where the accident happened:

"About an hour ago, the XX Police Department received a call from a pedestrian walking down XX Street, who said that there was a dead body on the floor, and it seemed to be a woman who jumped off a building. When the police arrived, there was a crowd around the body. As you can see, there is still a crowd behind me right now at the sight of the accident -"

The reporter moved aside and the camera moved forward, showing a large crowd of people circling around something. The camera then moved closer, and it revealed several police and medical workers enclosing the area of the accident, and there were traces of blood on the ground.

"After careful examination, the medical and police workers have identified the victim, who is the wife of Mr. Yi Qinyu, the chairman of the famous Yi Company. The police suspect that the cause of suicide might be pressure and stress after the collapse of the company and the death of her husband -"

Yi Qiansi immediately closed the television and fell back onto the couch, still in shock.

A few seconds later, there was a sudden banging sound and Yi Qiansi flinched from the sudden noise. He looked up and it took a moment until he realized that someone was knocking on the door.

Slowly, he stood up and walked over, opening the door cautiously.

When the door was opened a few inches, he peeked outside and saw several tall and grown men standing on the other side, all with grave and serious expressions.

When they saw the door open, the men all looked down and Yi Qiansi noticed the pity that flashed past their eyes when they saw him.

"Is this Mrs. Lin Wan's house?" The police at the front asked in a deep voice.

Yi Qiansi nodded his head without speaking.

"You are Mrs. Lin Wan's son?"

He nodded again.

The man standing in the front gulped before he bent down, going onto one knee so his eyes were at the same level as Yi Qiansi.

Then, he cleared his throat and said, his voice a little deeper, "I am sorry to be the one to tell you, little boy. . . But your mom passed away."

Yi Qiansi did not cry, did not scream, and there was not even a sign of surprise or sadness on his face when the police officer spoke.

The man was slightly surprised by the reaction and he frowned, "How old are you?"

"Is she at a hospital?" Yi Qiansi asked.

The police nodded his head, "Yes, we are here to take you there. We also need to ask you a few questions about where you are going to stay after today."

Yi Qiansi blinked his eyes a few times and didn't say anything as he stepped out of the room and closed the door.

The man stood up and they walked out of the cramped apartment with Yi Qiansi with them. As they walked, a few policemen couldn't help but murmur about why the little boy seemed to have no reaction to news of his mom's death.

Did he not understand? But he did. . . Did he know about it already?

They entered the police car and the man that had talked to Yi Qiansi began driving. The entire car ride was silent and Yi Qiansi sat in the middle of the backseat, his eyes staring blankly in front of him.

His mom committed suicide. . .

Even she did not want him anymore?

He was alone.

---

Once again, Yi Qiansi attended his parent's funeral. . . alone.

This time, with no one besides him, he stood in front of the silent and black grave with an emotionless expression on his face.

He had fought to be able to stay in the house he lived in right now until the end of this month, since his mom had paid for the rent until the end of this month.

However, since he was still underage, he was going to be sent to an orphanage to await whatever this horrible life still had in hold for him.

Standing in front of the two graves, one with a picture of his mother and the other of his father, Yi Qiansi did not know how to feel.

Should he hate God for making his life like this, Gu Yechen and the Gu family for making his life like this, or. . . himself?

Yi Qiansi narrowed his eyes as he clenched his fists together.

In the end, he put most of the blame onto the Gu family. How could they possibly be so merciless?!

Wasn't kicking him out of the school enough? He received the punishment for his wrong actions so why did they have to continue to drag them down?!

Why did they have to destroy his father's company? Why did they have to go around and make sure no good company would accept his father?!

WHY?!

Yi Qiansi didn't notice but his heartbeat had sped up and he was breathing unusually heavily by now. In one month, his life had changed forever.

How he wished to be able to go back to one month ago and fix everything or even just one week ago to stop his mom from jumping down that building?!

But it all wasn't possible now.

Yi Qiansi didn't know what he was going to do now with no one to rely on but himself. Should he just let fate do its job and go to the orphanage?

But he didn't want to.

He did not know for how long he had been standing in front of the grave, but he had arrived early in the morning and the noontime sunlight was shining down on him already.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of footsteps and the crunching sound of someone stepping on the leaves. Yi Qiansi narrowed his eyes and turned around to see a man wearing a red suit that seemed to be in his 50s.

The man looked straight into Yi Qiansi's eyes, and Yi Qiansi immediately knew that the man probably wasn't here to visit a dead acquaintance.

They stared at each other for a long time before the man began walking again, stopping right next to Yi Qiansi.

He looked down at the two faces on the graves and then bent down, placing the flower bouquet he was holding in his arms onto the ground in front of the graves.

Yi Qiansi frowned and finally spoke, "Who are you?"

The man stood back up and stayed silent for several seconds before he finally responded, "Yi Qiansi. . ."

That was all he said.

Yi Qiansi furrowed his eyebrows together and took a step away from the man, "That's me. I asked you who you are?"

The man turned around and looked at Yi Qiansi, narrowing his eyes as the two of them both examined each other.

The man had white hair but no wrinkles on his face, so Yi Qiansi couldn't really tell exactly how old he was. The man had a very tall nose and blueish grey eyes.

Finally, the man stretched his hand out with a smile, "I am Snow. . . I was friends with your parents."

Yi Qiansi didn't shake the man's hands and he asked, "You know my parents?"

The man pulled his hand back and nodded, "Yes, many years ago. I heard they died so I came over to visit them and. . . you."

Yi Qiansi was a very clever and attentive child, and he immediately noticed that something was wrong with this man. However, he couldn't figure out any signs that the man was lying, so he didn't know if he could trust the man or not.

"Your dad went to XX University and that is where he met your mom right," the man said with a smile.

Yi Qiansi's eyes widened slightly and he slowly nodded his head.

"I was their friend in college as well."

Yi Qiansi thought for a few seconds before he looked back up and decided to trust what the man was saying.

"Are they going to send you to an orphanage?" The man asked.

Yi Qiansi slowly nodded his head, tilting his head up to take another look at the man.

"Do you want to go?"

Yi Qiansi shook his head.

The man turned around and looked down at Yi Qiansi. Then, he bent down so he was looking up at Yi Qiansi. Then, he smiled. . . an unknown smile that Yi Qiansi couldn't read.

"Do you want to come with me?"
