Chapter 52 Regret "Ling Yi, you——" Chu Qingtang asked hesitantly...
There are no secrets.
Chu Qingtang repeated it in his mind, with a hint of envy in his eyes.
Nodding, Chu Qingtang looked into Ling Siyan's eyes and asked, "Aunt Ling, you also came back from ten years later, right?"
Ling Siyan and Lu Xiao looked at each other and nodded slightly: "Yes."
"Aunt Ling, you don't seem surprised that I know this?" Chu Qingtang's eyes flashed slightly.
"Because I know that you also came back from ten years later."
This time, Chu Qingtang was really surprised: "How did you know?"
"I'm sorry, I can't answer this question for you. What I'm curious about is——"
Ling Siyan raised her eyebrows slightly: "Since we returned to City A, you should have deduced that I was reborn from the different paths of my two lives. Since you chose to pretend you didn't know before, why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"Because..." Chu Qingtang pursed her lips, "Ling Yi's white moonlight is back."
"White Moonlight?" Ling Siyan repeated.
"Yes, Aunt Ling." Chu Qingtang recalled the events of her previous life, a little absent-minded: "In his previous life, Ling Yi had a lover named Bai Yueguang, whom he could not have. She was also reborn and is in the same class with Ling Yi and me."
"Aunt Ling, you don't know how much Ling Yi loved her in his previous life and how good he was to her. He left all his savings to her, but she——"
"But she never visited Yier after he went to prison." Ling Siyan continued.
Chu Qingtang came back to his senses all of a sudden, and looked up at Ling Siyan in surprise: "Aunt Ling, how did you know? Weren't you—" dead at that time?
"After the car accident, I followed Yi'er and your Uncle Lu in the form of a soul until they committed suicide in prison. Otherwise, do you think -" Ling Siyan's lips curled slightly, "Just because Han Chengyu didn't listen to me and insisted on being with Su Ranran, I would be so resolute?"
"So that's how it is." Chu Qingtang suddenly realized, "This makes sense."
"So, you chose to confess to me because Xie Yuyao's appearance made you feel a sense of crisis, and you wanted me to stop Yier and Xie Yuyao from getting together again?" Ling Siyan asked Chu Qingtang.
"Will you do this?" Chu Qingtang asked with a smile.
"No." Ling Siyan shook her head: "After my rebirth, I swore that I would give Yi'er the greatest freedom to do whatever he wants. Whether his choice is right or wrong, his father and I will cover for him."
Chu Qingtang didn't show any disappointment, instead his smile got wider: "I'm very happy to hear Aunt Ling say this. Ling Yi had a very hard life in his last life. So in this life, I hope, like you, that he can get what he wants and have his wishes come true."
"I will fight for what I want. I came here today to tell you about Xie Yuyao's existence and because Ling Yi heard part of our conversation when Xie Yuyao came to see me today. I don't want to hide it from him and want to tell him about my rebirth. However, this will inevitably involve your rebirth, so -"
Ling Siyan's eyes flashed with surprise, and then she smiled: "If you have made up your mind, don't worry about me."
"But..." Chu Qingtang hesitated to speak.
Ling Siyan understood what she wanted to say and sighed: "I was indeed sorry to Yier in my last life. Everyone should pay the price for the mistakes they made. In my last life, plus the first 14 years of this life, I owed Yier too much."
"He has every reason to blame me and hate me for this. It's what I deserve."
This is the case for her, and also for Han Chengyu and Su Ranran.
Chu Qingtang remained silent.
She also didn't know how Ling Yi would react, including whether Ling Yi would become curious about her and fall in love with her again if he knew that the person he liked in his previous life was Xie Yuyao.
"Actually, you don't have to worry too much." Seeing this, Ling Siyan patted Xie Yuyao on the shoulder and said, "In the last life, Yi'er did like Xie Yuyao, but maybe not as much as you think."
"He doesn't care about the people he's attached to, so this world can't keep him."
Wen Ci's words echoed in her ears. Ling Siyan remembered the way Ling Yi smiled silently when Lu Xiao put the gun to Ling Yi's forehead in prison in her previous life. There was no sadness, fear or regret in his eyes, only calmness.
She whispered, "Even in a world with Xie Yuyao, he can't stay here, which means that she is not someone Yi'er can't let go of. Yi'er treats her well, not only because he likes her, but more because he is a very good person."
"Yes! He is a very good person." Chu Qingtang murmured and repeated, then raised his lips and smiled: "I understand, Aunt Ling."
"You said that I liked Xie Yuyao in my previous life?" In the room, Ling Yi held a pen in one hand and pointed at himself with the other, his eyes slightly widened.
"Yes." Chu Qingtang nodded affirmatively and asked again: "So, you believe that I was reborn?"
"Isn't it said that the end of science is metaphysics?" Ling Yi tapped the table with his pen tip. After thinking for a while, he still couldn't figure it out: "Why do I like Xie Yuyao?"
Because you lack love.
Chu Qingtang was standing beside him, complaining in his heart.
"Did I also go back to the Ling family with my mother in my previous life?" Ling Yi stopped tapping the pen on the table and asked Chu Qingtang.
It really can’t be hidden.
Chu Qingtang sighed inwardly and shook his head: "According to my research in my previous life, you left home at the age of 15 and joined Mandala. At the age of 21, you became the leader of the Qinglong Hall of Mandala."
Ling Yi was silent for a while and asked, "What happened next?"
"Later, in order to avenge Aunt Ling, you kidnapped Su Ranran and were arrested and imprisoned. At that time, the power in City A was changing and the situation was turbulent. The backers behind Mandragora could no longer protect it. As a core member of Mandragora, you were -" Chu Qingtang closed his eyes, "sentenced to death."
"Revenge..." Ling Yi's eyelashes trembled, "Mom, is she dead?"
Seeing Chu Qingtang's acquiescent expression, Ling Yi asked softly, "Was it Su Ranran who killed him?"
"In her previous life, Aunt Ling did not return to City A. Later, something happened to the Ling family and Shengyu Group went bankrupt. Aunt Ling died in a car accident on the way back to the Ling family. The driver of the other car in the accident was Su Ranran's younger brother."
"Afterwards, your eldest brother, no, it was Han Chengyu, as the family member of the person involved, issued a letter of understanding to Su Ranran's brother Su Qi."
Ling Yi's hand holding the pen suddenly tightened: "Where are my grandfather and uncle!"
"Grandpa Ling had a stroke and was hospitalized. After hearing the news of Aunt Ling's car accident, he suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and died. Uncle Ling, as the legal representative of Shengyu Group from the beginning, took on all the charges against Shengyu Group and was imprisoned."
"As for Uncle Lu, he broke into the prison where you were held, and ended up shooting himself in prison with you."
A picture appeared in Ling Yi's mind.
The man in camouflage kicked open the iron door and shouted to the young man who was sitting on the interrogation chair with his head down, "Yier."
He said, "I'm sorry I came too late and couldn't save your mother, and I can't save you either."
Said: "I'm sorry, I avenged your mother."
Finally, he said, "Don't be afraid, Yier, I will be with you."
Ling Yi suddenly covered his head with a look of pain.
"Ling Yi, Ling Yi, what's wrong with you?" Chu Qingtang asked hurriedly, "Are you okay?"
When the image in his mind faded, the headache also subsided, and Ling Yi waved his hand: "I'm fine."
After a pause, he said hesitantly, "Just now, some images suddenly appeared in my mind. They should be the images of my father going to prison in my previous life that you mentioned."
Chu Qingtang's expression was slightly tense: "Anything else?"
Ling Yi shook his head: "No more, only this."
Chu Qingtang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"So, mom was also reborn, right? When you said you needed someone's consent, were you talking about mom?"
Chu Qingtang nodded and said, "Yes. I came back a month ago. I investigated you in my previous life, so I wanted to ask my father to let you return to the Ling family in this life, but Grandpa Ling said that you and Aunt Ling would return to City A together. At that time, I suspected that Aunt Ling was reborn."
"And Aunt Ling's attitude towards Han Chengyu at the charity dinner after you returned to City A made me more certain of this. Aunt Ling said that after she died in the car accident, she followed you and Uncle Lu in the form of a soul and saw everything that happened afterwards."
Ling Yi nodded and said nothing more.
"Ling Yi, you——" Chu Qingtang asked hesitantly, "Do you hate Aunt Ling?"
Ling Yi shook his head: "I just feel sorry for her."
"She should be the saddest and most painful person."
Outside the door, Ling Siyan tightened her grip on the door handle and tears silently fell.
In her previous life, she regretted breaking up with her father for a man, regretted giving birth to Han Chengyu, regretted not going home for more than ten years, but what she regretted most was that she did not treat Ling Yi well.
The door opened silently and closed silently.
Chu Qingtang patted Ling Yi's hand and comforted him, "Don't be sad. Let's start over again. Neither Aunt Ling nor I will let what happened in the last life happen again."
Ling Yi nodded, remembering what he had just overlooked, he looked up at Chu Qingtang and asked, "You just said that you investigated me in your previous life. Why did you investigate me?"
"Because I like you and want to understand you!" Chu Qingtang answered without hesitation.
"Like me?" Ling Yi asked doubtfully, "According to what you said, I was just a gangster in Mandala in my previous life. You are the mayor's daughter, why would you like me? And Xie Yuyao, she is also the daughter of the deputy mayor, how could I like her?"
"What hoodlum?" Chu Qingtang curled his lips. "The head of the Qinglong Hall of Mandala is a man who, regardless of whether he is in the right or wrong world, 99% of the people in City A will call him 'Master' when they see him."
"As for liking you." Chu Qingtang said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Because you saved me! When I was kidnapped. And you are beautiful, it is not a matter of course to like you."
"As for Xie Yuyao, her family had fallen on hard times at that time. You were a hero who saved her. You probably took her in because she was homeless. As for why you liked her—" Chu Qingtang pouted: "How should I know!"
"If you save me first, then I will definitely be the one you like."
Ling Yi seemed to be thinking about something.
"I'm telling you, even if the person you liked in your last life was Xie Yuyao, you are not allowed to like her in this life." Chu Qingtang poked Ling Yi's arm with a pen; "Did you hear me?"
