Chapter 283 I Don't Resent It Anymore

Lu Fengqing was unaware that there were people standing on the steps behind her, and continued talking to the elders as if nothing was wrong.

First, she talked about what had happened recently and what she had done, and then she talked about Rui Rui's time at kindergarten.

She rambled on and on, until in the end Lu Fengqing herself didn't even know what she had said.

She stared blankly at the photo on Lu Yunsi's tombstone, at the face that resembled her own, for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Do you resent him?"

After a while, she said again, "There should be no resentment."

If he harbored resentment, he wouldn't have insisted on giving birth to her, nor would he have kept anything related to him.

Not long after Old Master Lu passed away, Dou Meijuan took out the box containing Lu Yunsi's belongings and handed it to Lu Fengqing.

The box contained paintings Lu Yunsi had created during her lifetime, her diary, and a photo album.

Her paintings mostly depict flowers, trees, and cute little animals. The flowers aren't famous ones; they're just common wildflowers that she seems to enjoy painting.

Dou Meijuan also told Lu Fengqing that Lu Yinghui and Lu Yingliang had previously held art exhibitions with Lu Yunsi's paintings. The prices weren't high, not comparable to the priceless masterpieces of those great artists, but they still sold out. Many people liked Lu Yunsi's paintings because they conveyed a clean, warm, and cozy atmosphere.

A person who can paint such pictures must have a peaceful and beautiful heart; it is not easy to make such a person feel resentment.

And that was indeed the case. In her diary, she never complained about anyone; she only ever felt that she hadn't done enough and that she had made mistakes.

Just like Xie Chaoyin's situation, she was clearly not wrong. She could have blamed Xie Chaoyin for lying to her, but she didn't have any such thoughts. She always felt that it was because she wasn't firm enough and became a so-called "third party" that Xie Chaoyin betrayed his "fiancée" and hurt his fiancée.

Lu Yunsi had considered aborting the child, but how could someone who wouldn't even step on an ant bear to abort the child in her womb?

In the end, she couldn't bear to part with it.

This reluctance to part with Xie Chaoyin and Tang Ya made her feel even more guilty. She felt selfish, unable to make amends, and could only try her best to hide it, even going so far as to force and beg Gu Zhenjun to help her conceal it. But when Gu Zhenjun actually agreed, she felt sorry for him.

That's how all the knots in her heart came about.

She never imagined that what she perceived as "harm" and "betrayal" was all a lie told by Tang Ya alone.

And there was that photo album. In that album, Lu Fengqing saw Lu Yunsi smiling radiantly and Xie Chaoyin in her youth. Dou Meijuan said that Lu Yunsi was afraid of being photographed; she had never seen Lu Yunsi smile so beautifully in front of the camera.

The love was real, the guilt was real, and she was indeed selfish. It's just a pity that Lu Yunsi's personality was too indecisive, and she couldn't be selfish to the end.

Lu Fengqing thought for a moment and said, "I don't complain anymore."

I resented it when I was a child, and I resented it when my grandfather passed away, but I don't resent it now.

Rui Rui can forgive her for being unable to control her own situation and for having no other choice; she can also forgive his lack of knowledge and all the unfortunate coincidences.

It's all in the past now.

However, she couldn't accept him in a short time.

She had grown accustomed to life without a father. She didn't know how to get along with a stranger who was her father.

Lu Fengqing took one last look at the photo, and felt a little dizzy when she stood up because she had been squatting for too long.

One hand wrapped around her waist, and her back rested against a broad chest.

A familiar scent wafted over, and Lu Fengqing turned around in a daze. "When did you arrive?"

Gu Suixing: "When you said you wanted to get Rui Rui a new dad."

Lu Fengqing: "..."

“Rui Rui can change her dad, but you can forget about changing your man in this lifetime.”

After greeting the three elders and exchanging a few words, Gu Suixing arranged a time to bring Rui Rui to visit them before leaving with Lu Fengqing in his arms.

"How did you know I was here?" Lu Fengqing asked.

Gu Suixing: "There's something called GPS positioning."

The Brabus that Lu Fengqing is driving today is his car.

Lu Fengqing nodded, "I understand, I'll put a jammer in the car next time."

Gu Suixing thought that she seemed to like putting trackers in her jewelry, so she said, "Don't put it in a jammer, put a real-time monitor in mine."

Lu Fengqing looked at him, "What are you pretending for?"

"Put it on a belt buckle. How about that?" Gu Suixing imagined it for a moment, "The kind that automatically sounds an alarm ten minutes after the buckle is undone."

Not good. Lu Fengqing coldly and ruthlessly told him to get lost.

Who the hell wants to monitor your belt buckle in real time?

If you dare to do anything to betray her, castrate him on the spot!

Huo Huaisui, who was waiting in the car, was idly scrolling through Weibo when he suddenly received a message from Xie Qinglan.

[Thanks, liar: Have you had lunch yet?]

Upon seeing him, Huo Huai Sui was furious. Without even typing a word, he sent a voice message directly.

"You bastard Xie Qinglan! I trusted you so much, and you lied to me again! Didn't you say your parents wouldn't go there for a hundred or two hundred years? Who did I see at noon? You bastard, if I ever trust you again, I'll take your surname Xie!"

[Thank you, liar: My parents went to see you?]

Huo Huaisui: What do you think?

[Thank you, liar: It's my fault, I didn't expect them to come back.]

Huo Huai Sui snorted.

It was his fault to begin with.

Admitting his mistake is useless; she won't believe him anymore!

[Xie the Scammer: Did they give you a hard time?]

Huo Huaisui: "No, not at all."

He was just being overly enthusiastic, acting as if he wanted her and that liar Xie to get married on the spot.

[Xie the Liar: Where are you now?]

[Year After Year: Cemetery]

[Xie the Liar: What are you doing in the cemetery?]

[Sui Sui: I'll choose a grave for you.]

[Sui Sui: Are you scared?]

[Thanks, liar: Pick a more spacious one, otherwise there won't be enough room for both of us to lie down.]

[SuiSui: Get lost!]

Xie Qinglan smiled.

A classmate standing nearby saw Xie Qinglan smiling while holding her phone and was both surprised and curious. She tentatively asked, "Qinglan, are you in a relationship?"

They've been busy since morning and only now have time for lunch. They're sitting together eating takeout that's long since gone cold.

Xie Qinglan hummed in agreement.

The classmate gasped, "Then, so-and-so, didn't they have no chance?"

Xie Qinglan was too lazy to think about who "that person" was, so she put down her phone and said, "Brothers, keep up the good work, I'll treat you to a big meal when I get out of prison."

"A Michelin-starred meal?"

"Or a five-star dinner on the rooftop of the Crescent Bay Hotel would be fine too, brothers, we're not picky."

Xie Qinglan nodded, "Okay."

"Okay. I'll work overtime again tonight. I'll give it my all for this Michelin-starred meal!"

After dismissing the gossipy classmates, Xie Qinglan thought for a moment and then sent another message to his mother.

[Xie Qinglan: If it weren't for proposing marriage, you two shouldn't have gone looking for her.]
