Song Qingrong and Lin Qingxue still wore faint smiles on their faces. Even though the Xu family had arrived, they showed no fear. Song Qingrong continued into the microphone, "Are you feeling guilty?"

Someone in the audience shouted after hearing this, "Let her continue!"

Then, a chorus of applause rose and fell.

Exaggeration is not uncommon in the business world.

So I wasn't surprised to see this.

At this point, I didn't feel much turmoil or worry. Things had come to this point, and there was no need to dwell on it anymore. Besides, Song Qingrong and Lin Qingxue were clearly intelligent.

They threw the documents at everyone present, including prominent figures from Binhai and Xu's rivals. Under such circumstances, Xu's family had no time to deal with them afterwards, and dared not do anything, because if they did, it would be Xu's family who did it.

In this situation, the two of them are actually safe.

However, Song Qingrong continued, "This is only the first gift."

"The second gift..."

"I want to ask Young Master Xu."

Do you know Xu Ruo?

"Miss Gu's ex-husband."

"It was you who killed him, wasn't it?"

Xu Yan's face turned cold. "I don't know such a person at all."

Lin Qingxue smiled and said, "Really?"

“Then I’d like to ask Young Master Xu a question as well.”

"No... I want to ask everyone in the Xu family a question."

"Is this young master Xu Yan really a son of your Xu family?"

I was taken aback when I heard that.

I instinctively looked at Xu's father.

But I noticed his eyes were darting away.

I suddenly remembered that Gu Nianci took my ashes to the Xu family before, and at that time he said he wanted to find out my information...

But……

How is that possible?

When Xu Yan returned to China, it was already confirmed that I was no longer a member of the Xu family.

Why would Lin Qingxue ask this question?

However, Xu's father remained silent, Xu's mother and Xu Yao's expressions kept changing, and even Xu Yan's expression turned sinister at this moment.

"I am the young master of the Xu family."

"Who in the entire coastal area doesn't know this?"

Seeing this, Lin Qingxue did not answer Xu Yan, but laughed and said, "I was just trying to ask, but seeing your reactions, I think... I guessed right."

"You are so cruel."

"They killed their own son and then had a fake son marry their own son's wife."

"Is this the Xu family?"

"Is this what it means to live a life of luxury?"

At this point, Lin Qingxue looked at Gu Nianci again, "Miss Gu, do you think this matter has anything to do with you?"

Gu Nianci fell silent.

She didn't know.

How could she possibly know?

But after a while, a look of pain appeared on her face, and then she smiled sadly, "I will go to his grave to see him."

...

This farce started suddenly and ended just as quickly.

Song Qingrong and Lin Qingxue's words were like two bombs, completely ruining the wedding. Even though the Xu family could try to refute the rumors in various ways, they were still in a terrible predicament.

In particular, Gu Nianci's last words were undoubtedly a message to everyone.

The Xu family has a son named Xu Ruo.

He was murdered by the Xu family.

Gu Nianci, Xu Ruo's former wife, is about to marry a fake young master who is not from the Xu family.

All of this was completely unexpected.

Because I never expected that, after all the twists and turns, the Xu family seemed to be telling me through their silence that I really am the young master of the Xu family.

But why is that?

I don't understand why Gu Nianci doesn't deny it.

She could have denied it...

Until I followed them to my grave.

This world seems so absurd. Everything that happens seems to have a result, just like the so-called law of cause and effect: if there is a cause, there must be an effect.

At the wedding.

They all remembered me.

I'm not sure if it's just some prank in my head, but that doesn't matter anymore. All I know is that this time I really seem to be disappearing forever.

Because when they came to my grave, I heard that guy whispering in my head.

It says: Do you like this gift? Say goodbye to the present and prepare to embrace your past...

I don't understand what that sentence means.

But I know.

They came here, and they said goodbye to me.

That will be a true separation.

At this moment, in front of my grave, Gu Nianci, who should have been high above and proud, seemed to have reverted to the way she was when she first forgot me, looking at my tombstone with tears streaming down her face.

"I remember everything."

"But...it seems like it's all too late."

"Xu Ruo, if I had known sooner that I had unknowingly fallen in love with you, if I had understood sooner that I had grown accustomed to your feelings, if I had realized sooner that so-called interests were not important, would you... not have left?"

Upon hearing this, I paused for a moment, then shook my head slightly and said, "There are no ifs."

There aren't that many "what ifs" in the world.

Lin Qingxue, her eyes red, also looked at my tombstone, her face full of guilt and sadness.

"Xu Ruo, if I had told you I loved you sooner, would things be different today?"

"If I could, I would never lie to you."

"sorry."

Looking at Lin Qingxue, I smiled.

"It doesn't matter."

I stopped blaming Lin Qingxue a long time ago. Even though she was extreme in the past, so what? Loving someone is inherently extreme; it's just that I never fell in love with her.

Thinking of this, I looked at Song Qingrong again. She had been silent the whole time, but I knew that Song Qingrong must be the one who was the saddest. She just stared at my tombstone, and after a long while, she took out a photo from her body.

That's a photo of me and her.

She knelt in front of my tombstone and set the photo on fire.

She didn't speak until the photograph had completely turned to ashes.

"Xu Ruo".

"goodbye."

After a long pause, I smiled and replied, "Goodbye."

Saying goodbye is a simple word, but actually saying it is very difficult.

Just like now.

Even though I keep saying I want to disappear from this world as soon as possible, when the time actually comes, all I feel is reluctance.

I fell in love with Song Qingrong.

Even if it's just a soul, I actually want to stay by her side forever.

But that's ultimately unrealistic.

Just as Song Qingrong said 'goodbye,' that guy's voice appeared again.

Are you ready to face the past?

I ignored it, just looked at Song Qingrong, and added, "Live well."

After I finished speaking, darkness began to fall before my eyes.

Exhaustion robbed me of my last vestige of the ability to think.

But in the end, I couldn't help but ask, "Why the past?"

Do you have a future?

Yes, I didn't.

But do I still have a past?
