Chapter 162 Lu Qingqing x Meng Yaozhu: You and I will never meet again in this life.
The deer gently woke up, and from the initial inability to accept it, to breaking down in tears, to the despair that nothing could be undone, she stopped eating and drinking.
No matter how much people around her tried to persuade her, she seemed to have lost her soul, lying in bed crying her eyes out, until gradually even her crying became unrecognizable.
Shi Yang saw it all and felt a pang of pain in his heart. Several times he wanted to arrest her and make her cheer up.
In her eyes, Lu Qingqing had always been a little sun, full of energy and vitality, a completely different person from now.
Ji Peiheng stopped her: "She needs space to calm down on her own. Let's give her some more time."
During this time, Meng Yaozhu tried to see Lu Qingqing several times, but Shi Yang stopped him each time.
Knowing he would never see anyone, he stopped speaking. He would come to the hospital every day, stand quietly at the stairwell, and gaze into the distance towards the wards, day after day.
When Wen Wanwan came out of the ward, she whispered in Shi Yang's ear, "That guy is here again, so annoying!"
Shi Yang looked over and saw that he was standing in the shadows, blending into the darkness.
In just a few days, he lost a lot of weight, his beard became unshaven, his eyes were dark and swollen, and he looked haggard. What remained unchanged was his focused and stubborn gaze as he stared at the ward.
Several days later, Lu Qingqing suddenly started eating again, stopped lying in bed all the time, started getting out of bed and walking around, and stopped crying silently.
Sometimes, listening to Wen Wanwan and Shi Yang teasing each other, a smile would appear on my lips.
It was fleeting, brief, like the ephemeral bloom of a night-blooming cereus in the dead of night.
When Shi Yang left that night, Lu whispered, "Yang Yang, I'll be alright."
One sentence is like a reassuring pill.
Shi Yang nodded; she knew.
Lu Qingqing is like a tenacious little grass. She might wither after being battered by wind and rain, but given time, she can recover and stand tall and proud in the direction of the sun.
Seeing her getting better day by day, Shi Yang was finally able to close his eyes after staying up for several days.
Adding to her fatigue was her pregnancy, and she went straight to sleep when she got home.
While she was sound asleep, she heard the sound of the person next to her getting up.
With difficulty, she opened her eyes: "What's wrong?"
...
Ms. Jiang has passed away.
He fell ill at 10:30 p.m. and passed away despite all efforts to save him.
Lu Qingqing stood in front of the woman whose whole body was covered with a white sheet, and gently lifted the corner of the white sheet with her fingers.
He placed a kiss on Ms. Jiang's forehead and said, "Goodnight, Ms. Jiang!"
To everyone's surprise, Lu Qingqing remained calm.
Shi Yang was afraid that she couldn't withstand the series of blows and was just putting on a brave face, and that the string she was holding on to would snap at any moment.
However, she did not make a big fuss or cry loudly, and handled Ms. Jiang's funeral arrangements in an orderly manner.
Even when Shi Yang was following her closely, she forced her to go home and rest: "You are pregnant now and have been working so hard for me. You should have your husband Ji Peiheng take you home to rest."
At her insistence, Shi Yang was taken home to rest.
At the funeral, some relatives and friends came, and everyone would come up to her and say their condolences.
The deer knelt gently on the cushion, silently burning paper money, and nodded in response.
She was a bit taller than Shi Yang and had a more resilient physique, which she had developed through years of traveling all over the country.
Dressed in black, he knelt quietly, bending over to burn paper money. His lips were pale and bloodless, making him appear thin and weak.
She seemed like a gust of wind could blow her over, yet her eyes were calm and resolute, possessing a calming power that made her a force to be reckoned with.
When the guests left, Lu gently stood up. Her legs were numb from kneeling for so long, her vision blurred, and she staggered.
"careful."
A strong, thin hand supported her waist.
Meng Yaozhu looked at the pale-faced man in front of her, her lips moved, but she didn't speak.
Their eyes met, and although it had only been a little over half a month since they last saw each other, it felt as if there were many invisible things between them. They were so close, yet the distance between their hearts stretched infinitely far away, and their hearts drifted in completely different directions.
The deer gently twisted its wrist, freeing itself from his palm.
Fearing he might hurt her, Meng Yaozhu quickly loosened his grip.
Even after she had told herself countless times to accept reality, when she saw her again, her heart was not as calm as she appeared on the surface.
The barely concealed hatred surging in his eyes was about to tear through the surface of the calm he maintained.
Meng Yaozhu's eyes were deeply stung by that hatred.
"I……"
Lu spoke softly before he could, "Come with me."
She didn't want him to disturb Ms. Jiang's peace.
The two walked into the back garden one after the other.
The deer stopped gently and turned around: "What are you doing here?"
Are you feeling better?
Her back was so slender that Meng Yaozhu suppressed the urge to pull her into his arms.
"I'll be fine without you bothering me."
Meng Yaozhu looked at her with disappointment.
Lu Qingqing's gaze drifted aimlessly into the distance.
His voice was utterly dejected: "The person who took you away that day wasn't my mother. She was in a car accident long before your accident. Even without knowing who the child's father was, I was prepared to treat him as my own. So there's no way I would ever hurt you and your child."
Children were a forbidden zone for Lu Qingqing, and she made no attempt to hide her hatred: "You won't, but what about your Meng family? Your mother insulted and ridiculed me when she saw me, and I can ignore that. But what about Qiao Qingshu? I have no grudge against her, yet she set up a series of schemes to harm me like this. Isn't it because of you? Do you dare to say that all of this has nothing to do with you?"
Her words were filled with anguish.
Meng Yaozhu felt as if her throat was blocked with cotton.
Lu Qingqing wasn't stupid. At first, she was too excited to think things through carefully. During the days she rested, the details of the events came together and she was able to understand what was going on.
The person behind this simply wants her and Meng Yaozhu to break up and reach the point of no return.
Undoubtedly, this plan was very successful.
The sacrifice for this scheme was her child, who never had the chance to be born and see the world.
Even if it has nothing to do with him, even if he is innocent, ultimately, it's all because of him.
How could she not hate him?
She hated not only him, she even hated herself!
"Meng Yaozhu, I truly regret meeting you!"
Meng Yaozhu's tall figure trembled, and he looked at her sadly: "I'm sorry, I'm the one who's wronged you. Please give me a chance to make it up to you."
The deer simply shook its head.
She truly hated herself; if she hadn't been so blinded by greed, none of this would have happened.
The taste of reaping what you sow is too bitter.
This must be her punishment.
At this moment, Meng Yaozhu clearly realized that he was really going to lose her, and he could no longer control himself and hugged her: "Qingqing, please don't leave me, okay? Let's start over, okay?"
He spoke in a trembling voice, his grip on her quivering slightly.
Lu Qingqing didn't resist and was simply held in her arms.
His words were clear and decisive: "You and I will never meet again in this life."
