People who came to pay their respects descended the mountain one after another.

Shen Jiarui knelt before Shen Shuyuan's tombstone, lost in thought.

The deep black enveloped him in a cold hue, a stark contrast to his previous passionate and flamboyant style.

He stared at Shen Shuyuan's photo on the tombstone, his heart filled with complex emotions.

He wondered if, on the day Shen Shuyuan came to him in a humble and subservient manner, he had provided her with a way out, would she have been driven to desperation and chosen to self-destruct?

But what if we could do it all over again?

He would still urge her to submit to the law.

Even though he favored her, he still had his bottom line as a human being.

When Luo Wuyan, who had come to pay respects to Lu Zhiwei's maternal grandmother, came down the mountain, she passed by that cemetery and saw Shen Jiarui with red eyes and a white gauze wrapped around his head, secretly shedding tears.

Luo Wuyan glanced at Shen Jiarui and shook her head dismissively.

He cried like this for a woman who deserved to die.

It's both laughable and pathetic.

Luo Wuyan had just left.

Then the Ruan family arrived. Zhou Zhengting brought Ruan Qin, and Zhou Yan and Zhou Shuang, a family of four, came together.

Get out of the limousine.

They first went to Lu Zhiwei's maternal grandmother's grave to pay their respects.

Lu Zhiwei stood beside the grave, grateful for the arrival of the Zhou family.

My maternal grandmother was an unknown person, yet she was able to gather the entire renowned Zhou family, which shows how much the Zhou family valued and respected her.

"Please accept my condolences, Weiwei." After paying her respects, Ruan Qin held Lu Zhiwei's small hand and comforted her, "Don't be too sad. You're pregnant."

"Okay." Lu Zhiwei smiled.

Afterwards, Zhou Zhengting took Ruan Qin to see the old lady of the Shen family and said some words of comfort to her.

Zhou Shuang didn't go with them, which made Lu Zhiwei curious: "Shuang'er, why aren't you going?"

“I’m not familiar with Shen Shuyuan. Besides, didn’t she do a lot of bad things to bully my sister-in-law? I would never worship someone like her; it’s bad luck.”

Zhou Shuang is a straightforward person and the most beloved little princess of the Zhou family.

The difference between her and Shen Shuyuan is that...

She doesn't need to work hard to gain anyone's attention or affection; these things are within her grasp with a snap of her fingers.

That's how I developed such a cheerful and generous yet not spoiled temperament.

Ruan Jizhou, who was standing nearby, spoke up: "I didn't go either. Why don't you ask me why I didn't go?"

“You’re on my side, so naturally you won’t go,” Lu Zhiwei said firmly.

In the distance, Shen Jingmo, who was preparing to go down the mountain, watched as Lu Zhiwei and the Zhou family became completely acquainted.

It seems that Lu Zhiwei has truly found the happiness she desired.

He sat down in the car dejectedly, leaned back in his seat, and slowly closed his eyes.

The sun sets in the west.

The cemetery was deserted.

On the way back, Ruan Jizhou personally drove to pick up Lu Zhiwei and take her down the mountain for dinner. She hadn't eaten all day while standing on the mountain, so he had booked a restaurant for her.

Lu Zhiwei helped Jiang Zhan into the car.

Although Jiang Zhan was recuperating in the hospital, upon hearing that Lu Zhiwei's maternal grandmother was being buried in the cemetery today, he immediately came to pay his respects, dressed in black mourning clothes.

After shoving Jiang Zhan into the back seat, Lu Zhiwei was about to get in when she noticed Zhou Shuang was also sitting there.

Jiang Zhan's tall figure settled into the car, and his handsome face immediately caught Zhou Shuang's attention.

There are such handsome boys in this world.

She didn't find anyone she liked while studying abroad.

Jiang Zhan had no idea there was another girl on the bus.

To make room for his sister, he felt his way to the back of the seat and moved it in.

His tall body pressed down on Zhou Shuang.

The little girl cried out in pain, "Ouch—"

Jiang Zhan then realized he had stepped on someone and hurriedly moved away, saying, "I'm sorry. I didn't know there was someone in the back seat."

"It's okay, I won't hold it against you because you're handsome." Zhou Shuang waved her hand with a smile, then said to Lu Zhiwei outside the car door, "Sister-in-law, why don't you sit in my brother's passenger seat? There's no room in the back."

Lu Zhiwei saw through Zhou Shuang's thoughts in an instant: "Is it that you can't fit in the seat, or that you don't want me to sit down?"

"Hehe." Zhou Shuang laughed without any attempt to hide it.

The car drove towards the restaurant.

Ruan Jizhou and Lu Zhiwei didn't chat much. Lu Zhiwei was on her phone dealing with work, while Ruan Jizhou focused on driving.

Zhou Shuang is a talkative person, and since she is about the same age as Jiang Zhan, there is no generation gap between them.

She knew he was Lu Zhiwei's younger brother, but she had only heard of him before and had never met him.

Now that I see it, I like it very much.

Young people like to play straightforwardly.

Once you've set your sights on a prey, you won't let it get away.

She took out her phone, showed the WeChat QR code, and handed it to Jiang Zhan. "Jiang Zhan, I'm Zhou Shuang, Ruan Jizhou's real younger sister. Can we add each other on WeChat?"

Jiang Zhan shook his head: "I don't use WeChat anymore."

He wants to play, but he can't.

"Would you like to leave your phone number?"

"I didn't bring my phone." For him, who is now blind, a phone is nothing more than a brick, completely useless.

"This is the first time someone has rejected me so bluntly." Zhou Shuang reluctantly put away her phone, her face showing displeasure.

Lu Zhiwei could tell that Jiang Zhan was deliberately avoiding the girl's advances.

It's probably because of his hands and eyes.

Lu Zhiwei picked up her phone and sent another message: 【How's that miracle doctor I asked you to find doing?】

She urges him every day.

This legendary doctor is arguably the world's top neurology expert, and his craniotomy surgeries have a 100% success rate.

Jiang Zhan needs to regain his sight, so he must have surgery to remove the blood clots and ensure that his retinal nerves can return to normal.
