Money life

Chapter 99 Fire

Everything changed on his 13th birthday.

That day, he went home early after school, hoping that his father would remember his birthday and celebrate it for him. He also thought that on this birthday, he must make a wish for that woman to die.

When he got home, his father was not at home, and the house was quiet.He thought his father had forgotten his birthday, and he was upset.

He returned to his room, finished his homework, and went downstairs.

The father still didn't come home, nor did Meng Yan's mother and daughter.

"It seems that Dad really forgot." He sat on the sofa, feeling very depressed.

He very much hopes that his father can celebrate his birthday with him like before, and buy him birthday presents.

"If my father celebrates my birthday, I will forgive him for everything he has done." He said to himself.

"Crack." The sound of the door lock opening sounded.

Meng Zeyuan stood up hurriedly when he heard the voice, and it was his father who was looking forward to coming back.

The person who came in from the outside was not the father he was expecting, but Meng Yan's mother and daughter. Meng Yan's mother was still carrying many things in her hand.

Seeing them, he sat on the sofa in despair, but his face was extremely cold.

He always believed that the people who killed his mother were Meng Yan's mother and daughter. If it weren't for them, the parents would not have divorced, and the mother would not have died if they hadn't divorced.

Meng Yan's mother came to Meng Zeyuan and said with a smile: "Zeyuan, your father is a little busy today, and I'm afraid he won't be able to go home until very late. Auntie will celebrate your birthday with you. Your father especially told me to take good care of you." Birthday. Look, I bought a lot of things you like to eat, and I even bought a birthday cake. I heard from your dad that you really like birthday cakes."

As she spoke, she shook the things in her hand.

"Brother, happy birthday." Meng Yan came to Meng Zeyuan's side, smiling very sweetly, and said in a childish voice.

He glanced at Meng Yan, wanting to play her off, but looking at her harmless little face, he hesitated.

In the past year, no matter what Meng Yan's attitude towards her was, she always called him brother and never changed his name.

"You guys play together, and I'll cook. Zeyuan, you haven't eaten my cooking, have you?" Meng Yan's mother said with a smile.

Meng Zeyuan glared at Meng Yan's mother, but said nothing.

Meng Yan's mother knew that he had a bad attitude towards her, so she didn't force him to do anything, but took the bought vegetables to the kitchen to prepare meals for him.

"It's hypocritical." He watched Meng Yan's mother leave and muttered.

Meng Yan's mother quickly cooked a large table of meals, and Meng Zeyuan looked appetizing, but he didn't want to say that she cooked well.

The three sat at the dining table, and Meng Yan's mother was busy celebrating Meng Zeyuan's birthday.

Meng Zeyuan's attitude has always been indifferent.

After dinner, he wanted to go upstairs, but Meng Yan's mother stopped him.

The three sat on the sofa in the lobby, and Meng Yan's mother poured him a glass of water.

"If it's okay, I'll go up first." Meng Zeyuan didn't hide his hostility towards her.

"Zeyuan, I think it's time to tell you something." Meng Yan's mother looked at him with gentle eyes.

He looked at her and felt warmth in her eyes.

"Your father and your mother's divorce is inevitable, don't blame me. Without me, they will also divorce." Meng Yan's mother hesitated and said.

Meng Zeyuan definitely didn't believe what she said. He thought she was hypocritical, glared at her, and said, "You are lying. You are the one who caused my parents to divorce, and you are the one who caused my mother to die."

"Is this really the case? Your parents' relationship has long been at odds, but they have not divorced because of you. Later your mother found out about my relationship with your father. Your father was even more disappointed with your mother, and the two divorced." .”

"You lied." Of course he would not believe her words. After hearing her words, he wished that the woman in front of him would die immediately.

Seeing him in such pain, Meng Yan's mother fell silent instead.

Meng Zeyuan went upstairs.

Back in the room, he locked the door, not believing what Meng Yan's mother said.

"Liar, lie, you are the one who caused my parents to divorce, and it is you who caused the death of my mother." He said sadly to himself.

"Mom, I miss you so much." He looked at the stars outside the window and thought of his mother.

Suddenly, he thought of the match girl, and he hurriedly searched around the room, trying to find a match.

However, apart from a lighter, there was no match in the room.

He took a lighter and lay on the bed.

"Crack." He flipped on the lighter.

A flame appeared from the outlet of the lighter, and he stared at the flame, hoping to see his mother from the flame.

"Mom." He seemed to really see his mother in the flames.

He rolled over and put the lighter on the bed, completely unaware that when the flame touched the sheets it would start a fire.

He saw his mother's smiling face from the flames, and he wanted to hug her very much.

A tear flowed from the corner of his eye, he missed his mother.

He closed his eyes, feeling the warmth from the flames, as if his mother was hugging him.

The flames set the sheets ablaze, and he didn't realize it.

After a while, he felt the lighter was hot, and his hands felt very hot. He turned off the lighter, turned over, and fell asleep slowly.

Speaking of this, Meng Zeyuan's eyes became deeper.

"I was stupid at the time. I didn't know that flames would cause fires. I thought the lighter could not ignite the sheets." Meng Zeyuan laughed.

Zhang Yanjiang and Liang Huan didn't speak. They did more or less stupid things when they were young. After all, they didn't understand many things back then.

Meng Zeyuan looked into the distance, and said faintly: "It was because of the fire that I understood the value of family members, and also let me see clearly what kind of people they are."

He continued to tell his story.

The flame ignited the bed sheet, which itself is flammable, and in an instant, the entire bedding on the bed was ignited.

Meng Zeyuan felt very hot in a daze. He opened his eyes and found that the bed was already covered in flames.

He was so frightened that he didn't know where the fire on the bed came from.What was even more dangerous was that the lighter in his hand had already been placed on the bed, where the flame was about to ignite the lighter.

And he was still foolishly staying on the bed motionless.

Maybe it was because the fire was burning bigger and bigger, which made him feel the heat, and he suddenly got out of bed with an "ah".

Because he got out of bed in such a hurry, he lost his footing and fell to the ground, hitting his leg.

It hurts, he cried out in pain.

"Boom." Just as he was about to stand up, there was an explosion behind him.

The lighter exploded at high temperature, but the power of the lighter explosion was not very strong, and Meng Zeyuan who was beside the bed was not injured.

But, he was taken aback.

As the lighter exploded, the fire on the bed became even bigger, and in an instant, the entire bed was ignited.

Meng Zeyuan was terrified, he stood up and ran towards the door.When he came to the door, he first turned the safety and then the doorknob, but he couldn't open the door because he was nervous or something.

"Dad." He was terrified when he saw the flames, and called his father loudly.
