Chapter 481: Unprovoked Disappearance
Seeing that she was sad and angry, Ye Ling didn't know what to say to comfort, so he could only take out a handkerchief and hand it to her.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, I'm out of shape. Vanessa wiped her red eyes, she was an independent and strong woman, and she would never shed a tear if it weren't for the mention of her beloved mother.
Ye Ling hurriedly said: "It's okay, Sister Vanessa, in fact, sometimes, you don't have to take anything sad in your heart, sometimes it will be much more comfortable to find someone to talk to!"
Vanessa sighed and said, "What you said, Cynthia was almost the same when she first met me, I'm really happy, I can still know people like you in this life, or two." β
Ye Ling said with a smile: "There are more than two, in addition to me and Captain Cynthia, those big brothers and sisters of the Storm Mercenary Group are actually very concerned about you." β
"Yes, there are always some good people on shijie, I used to be too paranoid. β
After the mood calmed down a little, Vanessa continued: "My grandfather, my grandmother is long gone, my mother is gone, I became an orphan, when I treated my mother, the family's savings were also spent, and even borrowed some debts, the creditor saw that I was still a child, and he would definitely not be able to pay back the money, so he directly blasted me out and forcibly occupied my house, so I could only wander around." β
Ye Ling sighed and said, "Sister Vanessa, I didn't expect you to have such a hard time when you were a child, compared to you, I am relatively lucky!"
"Hehe, it was really an unbearable time. Vanessa said a little bitterly: "I was only six years old at the time, and I had no ability to survive at all, and after losing my mother, I felt that there was no point in living alone on shijie, so I might as well die, and I walked for two days in a daze, zuihou I fainted from hunger." But at this moment, Cynthia appeared in my shijie, she saved me, after learning what happened to me, she was very sympathetic, and encouraged me to live strongly, never give up hope, because it was not easy for my mother to raise me, I was so self-defeating, I am sorry for the mother who gave birth to me and raised me. I was so moved by her that I gave up the idea of suicide, and she took me home, and from then on, we were very good friends. β
Ye Ling was a little surprised: "In this way, you are the sisters of your childhood sweethearts!"
"You can say that, but she's right, maybe more important than my sisters, and I wouldn't be alive without her. Vanessa's tone was full of happiness, because Cynthia was a ray of bright sunshine in her gloomy childhood: "I have lived in Cynthia's family for a long time, and gradually I know that Cynthia is from the same big family of black demon stars, I think you should also know that she is a member of the Afaria family!"
Ye Ling nodded and said, "Yes, I heard about it from Yaris. β
"Her mother, who is also a very gentle and very good woman, let me live in her house, and take care of me as if I were her own daughter, in addition to her, Cynthia also has a sister, Cynsima, who is also very warm and kind to me, I am very glad to have met these good people, and gradually we got to know each other, and learned that Cynthia They are not as happy as I imagined, her family background is strikingly similar to mine, the two sisters are illegitimate daughters, and later because of their excellent talents, they attracted the attention of the Afaria family, and their mother was able to enter the family togetherγ However, Cynthia's mother is also from a humble background and has never been recognized, the Afaria family just hopes to cultivate Cynthia and Cynthia as their tools, and they don't invest any family affection to care about them at all, they can see their father a few times a year, they are treated coldly in the family, and they are even bullied by some subordinates!"
Ye Ling touched his nose: "It seems that there are many unknown and complex relationships hidden in these big families that seem to be very enviable on the surface." β
Vanessa sighed: "Yes, in fact, children who grow up in ordinary parents will be happier." However, Cynthia's mother was luckier than my mother, because Cynthia and Cynthia were very competitive, they did not waste their talents, and they quickly grew up and became the best of their peers in the family, among which Cynthia was very rebellious, she was unwilling to become a tool of the family, and she obeyed the family arrangement in everything, so she simply ran outside to become a bounty hunter, while the docile Cynthia continued to stay in the family to take care of her mother. And then a few years later, Cynsima made a name for herself and became a well-known bounty hunter, but something unfortunate happened not long after, and I think you've heard of it, right?"
"Yes, I heard that Captain Cynthia's sister had some accident, she fell into the hands of an evil man during a mission and was tortured to death!"
Vanessa sighed: " That's right, Cynthia is a very independent, a girl with a strong sense of justice, the relationship between us is like a sister, and Cynthia and her are naturally not to mention, when she heard the bad news, she almost went crazy, and what is worse is that her mother couldn't bear this heavy blow, and also fell, and finally fell ill, Cynthia lost two relatives one after another, meek She was also extremely angry in addition to grief, she wanted to kill the guy who killed her sister, but for this matter, the attitude of the Afaria family was surprisingly indifferent, because Cyncima's rebellion, did not listen to them, in her heart, they didn't treat her as a member of the family at all. Cynthia was disheartened by this, and her mother was no longer there, so she left the family and used her talent to absorb the poison of the Black Widow, and I didn't have time to stop it, because I didn't know she would do it, and she didn't even tell me when I went to find the evil man. β
Ye Ling said in his heart, no wonder Julie felt strange, the Weishenme Afaria family was so big, but the black widow had to sacrifice herself to take revenge.
He was also infected by this sad story, and was silent for a while: "It seems that Captain Cynthia is the kind of person who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. β
"It's true, she is always very obedient and obedient on weekdays, but if she decides to do something, she is more determined than anyone else. Vanessa paused and said: "After absorbing this poison and understanding hatred, she is also destined to be completely alone in this life and unable to marry." Of course, all of a sudden, I had the idea that since she couldn't be with a man, I would be with her, care for her, take care of her, love her! So, I confessed to her. Cynthia was surprised when she first heard it, and at one point refused, but I stalked her, and eventually she nodded and agreed, and since then, we have developed a more intimate relationship than friends, until now!"
Ye Ling didn't think it was funny, on the contrary, he admired it a little: "Sister Vanessa, I have to say, you are really a brave woman!
"Under the pressure of the family," Vanessa said with a little annoyance: "Whether it is the Eight Miscellaneous Family, or Cynthia's Affalia Family, they are all very face-saving families, our matter has spread in the Black Demon Star, they can't bear it, they think that we have brought shame to the family, I don't have anything, because I don't think I am a member of the Eight Miscellaneous Family at all, and they can't control me, and Cynthia is different!"
Ye Lingqi said: "Sister Vanessa, didn't you say that Captain Cynthia's mother and sister have passed away, and she has also left the family, so she shouldn't have to be subject to any restraints, right?"
"No, the Afaria family has seized her weakness - filial piety!" Vanessa said leisurely, "Cynthia is a very filial daughter, she has never disobeyed her mother, and her mother had one of the greatest wishes before she died, that is, to stay forever in the clan cemetery of the Afaria family, because she has no grudges like my mother, and loves the man who has failed her until death." In order to fulfill her mother's wishes, Cynthia was also held hostage by the Afaria family, not to mention that she was always out to carry out bounty missions, but as long as the Afaria family needed her for something, she had to go back immediately. And the family put pressure on her to separate from me, which put Cynthia in a dilemma. I knew her embarrassment, so I reluctantly left, went to the Radiant Star, met Captain Delk and others of the Storm Mercenary Regiment, and joined the team. β
Ye Ling asked again: "Then you will come back later, Weishenme will come back and meet Captain Cynthia again?"
Vanessa's face changed slightly, hesitated, and finally said: " Because Cynthia was absorbing the poison of the black widow in her early years, something went wrong, and this problem gradually magnified, and my eight-way snake, can give her some help, so I secretly made an appointment with her again, at first we were just a private meeting, but then it was learned by the Afaria family, this time they did not pursue it, because Cynthia has been a bounty hunter all these years and is jealous and hateful, especially always for women, which has brought her a very good reputation, you should have heard of it, their team, has' Friends of Women's reputation. The face-loving Affalia family also benefited from this, and with the protests of some feminists who supported women to like the same sex, the Affalia family did not dare to go too far, as long as we did not stay together for a long time and frequently, they turned a blind eye and ignored it, so we would meet every few months. Basically, that's how it goes!"
This intricate, twisty and bizarre story made Ye Ling sigh greatly, it seems that whether on Earth or in the Star Boundary, two women have to face many difficulties and obstacles if they want to walk together. He didn't hate Lily, but he always couldn't understand how it was possible for women to love each other, but after listening to these words, he could understand a little.
Vanessa said: "Brother Ling, Xiexie, you didn't hate me because of this, I originally thought that when you knew about this, my image as a good sister in your mind would be completely ruined." β
"No, no, no!" Ye Ling hurriedly shook his head: "I only saw a brave Sister Vanessa who ignores worldly prejudices, this is no different from you I have always respected in my heart!"
Vanessa smiled: "You're really good at sycophancy, okay, no matter what, it seems that you can really accept it, and I can rest assured." β
The big stone in her heart fell, Vanessa had no burden, the two chatted happily for a while, and the beautiful shooter said: "Oh, it's not early, I have to go back, Brother Ling, you are also tired, rest early, anyway, I will stay for another three or a few days, tomorrow zaijian." β
"Okay, see you tomorrow!"
The two returned to the hotel together, each went back to his room, and the night was spent peacefully.
After each mission, the bounty hunter will habitually rest for a few days, because this profession licks blood from the knife all day long, and has to face all kinds of treacherous and insidious enemies, and the pressure is also very high, plus Vanessa's arrival, it is just a good time to let her spend more time with Cynthia.
The next morning, before dawn, Ye Ling, who was sleeping, was woken up by a quick knock on the door, and got up in a daze, wondering who opened the door at the same time as looking for him so early, and then saw Vanessa, followed by Yaris and others.
Rubbing his eyes, Ye Ling said sleepily: "Sister Vanessa, Brother Yaris, everyone ...... early"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a beautiful female shooter: "Brother Ling, have you seen Cynthia?"
Ye Ling levied: "No, isn't the captain in the same room as you?"
"Yes, but when I woke up in the morning, I found that she was gone, to be exact, she didn't come back all night!" Vanessa looked a little anxious: "I haven't seen her since I went back last night, I thought she was going out for something, and I didn't pay too much attention to it, so I fell asleep first, and I was sleepy after a few days of sailing, and I slept more deeply, so I didn't see Cynthia until I woke up in the morning!"
