The memorial service ended in the afternoon.
After seeing off the last person, Ye Li rushed back to the hall, where she saw her mother holding her father's black and white portrait in her arms, cherishing it like a precious treasure, and thanking Fu Yanci repeatedly.
"Mom, are you alright?"
Ye Li stepped forward and asked with concern in her eyes.
When Li Xueqing insisted on being discharged from the hospital to recuperate at home, the doctor repeatedly emphasized that she should remember to keep her emotions calm and take good care of herself.
Ye Li had been anxiously waiting for her father, who had been secretly enduring great joy and sorrow during this time, and who had cried for so long in front of her father's tombstone that morning.
Surprisingly, nothing happened.
No tears were shed.
There was no sadness or despair.
Throughout the entire event, Li Xueqing remained calm and composed, gently thanking everyone who came to the memorial service, and maintaining her upright posture until the very last moment.
Li Xueqing smiled and nodded, "Ali, Mom is fine, don't worry!"
Looking back on that time, Li Xueqing felt somewhat ashamed.
Having lived most of my life, when it comes down to it, I'm not even as good as a child like Ali!
Fortunately, it's all over now.
Shen Ge is gone. She has to take good care of herself and live well, just like they promised each other.
Someday, they will meet again!
"Let's go home!"
After patting Ye Li's hand, Li Xueqing walked straight out carrying the portrait.
I arrived in Fu Yanci's car.
But when they went back, Li Xueqing insisted on riding in the Ye family's Mercedes.
He even pushed Ye Li towards Fu Yanci, saying, "Ah Li, you go with Yanci!"
She was about to say that she wanted to be with her mother when she saw Li Xueqing winking at her.
After a moment of surprise, Ye Li immediately understood.
Fu Yanci might not care, but Li Xueqing did.
Even though Ye Mushen was his father-in-law, he was already gone, so it was best not to put things like that in his car.
It's bad luck.
Feeling both heartache and helplessness, Ye Li turned back to look at Fu Yanci before getting into the car with him.
Just as they had arrived, Maybach led the way, followed by the rest of the team.
As the car drove out of the funeral home, a winding mountain road came into view.
On one side of the road are cliffs, and on the other side, in the distance, are gray forests and the clouds in the distance.
The clouds drifted and changed freely in the blue sky, creating a beautiful scene, but Ye Li had no mood to appreciate it at all.
When the car suddenly accelerated, Ye Li sensed something was wrong almost immediately.
"Fu Yanci, slow down..."
Before she could finish speaking, seeing the man's unprecedentedly solemn expression, Ye Li's heart raced. "Fu Yanci?"
“Ah Li…”
Fu Yanci said in a deep voice, "Call your mother and tell her that I have to leave first and we'll be back later."
“Fu Yanci, I…”
"Ah Li!"
Ye Li was interrupted by Fu Yanci before she could finish speaking.
They've been together since morning, and Fu Yanci hasn't even answered a phone call. Even when someone comes looking for her, she's always there for them.
Ye Li knew better than anyone whether he was alright.
Ye Li's intuition told her that something was wrong.
"mom……"
With trembling hands, Ye Li dialed Li Xueqing's number. Forcing herself to remain calm, she said, "Fu Yan and I are going to take care of some things. We'll be home later! ...Okay, I'll tell him to drive slowly. Mom, I'm hanging up now!"
The call ended, and Ye Li gripped the seatbelt tightly, watching the car speeding ahead, clearly exceeding its speed limit. Her voice trembled, "Fu Yanci...we, are we...?"
The question "Are we going to die?" was on the tip of Ye Li's tongue when she suddenly changed it, "We'll definitely be alright, right?"
“Ah Li…”
A glint of light flashed in Fu Yanci's unfathomable eyes as he stared intently at the series of sharp bends ahead, a hint of laughter in his voice, "What if we really are going to die?"
Ye Li's pupils contracted sharply, and her eyes widened in shock.
