Qin Wan subconsciously stopped and his eyes fell on the figure slowly walking towards him not far away. An inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.
When the figure slowly approached from afar, Qin Wan didn't pay attention at first, but as the distance got closer, her eyes gradually focused on the face, and then she showed a look of astonishment.
Because she never imagined that the person walking towards her would be Liu Juhua! The woman who almost became her mother-in-law!
The Liu Juhua standing in front of Qin Wan at this moment was completely different from the one she remembered.
Looking back to those days, Liu Juhua had skin as white as snow and bright eyes, like the twinkling stars in the night sky.
Her every smile and frown carries a unique charm that seems to be able to captivate people. Although she is already in her forties, she looks like a young girl in her early thirties, full of vitality and charm.
At that time, Liu Juhua could be said to be the unattainable "white moonlight" in the hearts of many celebrities in the entire county!
However, at this moment, the ruthless years were like a sharp carving knife, deeply engraving indelible marks on her originally beautiful face.
Her once beautiful black hair had turned mottled and gray, covering it like the frost and snow of late autumn; her originally firm and smooth skin had gradually become loose, losing its former elasticity and luster; even her eyes that had once sparkled with shrewdness were now dull, revealing more of the fatigue and helplessness after experiencing vicissitudes of life.
Qin Wan stared at Liu Juhua in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Time flies like a white horse passing by, fleeting in a flash; things in the world are unpredictable and difficult to grasp.
Looking back to the past, this woman who was considered graceful and charming by everyone now seems to have entered her twilight years.
But if you calculate carefully, she is actually only forty-eight or forty-nine years old!
Looking at Liu Juhua in this state, Qin Wan felt mixed emotions.
She felt endless emotion about the things that happened in the past, but she could not muster the slightest sympathy for Liu Juhua herself.
Because deep in Qin Wan's memory, there are clear and unbearable past events:
At the beginning, Zhang Shengli deliberately set a trap to make Qin become his fiancée without her knowing it; Qin's mother secretly signed up for her to go to the countryside to work in the fields without telling her; even the later plot to get her job, Liu Juhua was involved in it!
Although she and Lu Yu now live a sweet and beautiful life, and have given birth to four smart, well-behaved and innocent children together, all this cannot be an excuse for her to forgive Liu Juhua.
Liu Juhua hurriedly trotted over to Qin Wan. She was out of breath from running so fast. She gasped and said,
"Qin Wan, oh my, it's been such a long time since we last met!"
Liu Juhua's originally clear and pleasant voice now sounded a little hoarse, but one could still detect a hint of intimacy and deliberate flattery in her words.
Qin Wan was as cold as ice at this moment. Her narrow eyes drooped slightly, and she nodded gently at the other person with an expressionless face. Her movements were elegant but with a subtle sense of alienation.
Then, from her cherry-like red lips, she slowly uttered an extremely cold word:
"Aunt Liu, it's you. It's been a long time since we last met, so long that I almost forgot how you schemed and plotted to frame me."
After hearing this, Liu Juhua, who was standing opposite, suddenly froze the smile she had been trying to maintain, looking extremely embarrassed. The corners of her mouth twitched a few times, and she gave a dry laugh and said:
"Wanwan, let the past be the past, don't bring up those old things anymore!
My old bones are getting weaker day by day, and I feel like I don't have much time left to live. Whenever I think back to the mistakes I made in the past few years, I feel so regretful that I want to cry out loud.
I really don't know what went wrong with me back then, to do something so unjust and unjust. Look at me now, where is the charm I once had?
You also know that I, your aunt, have always loved beauty, but God is so cruel and gave me such a severe punishment. I guess this is what I deserve.
Especially in the past two years, I have been looking forward to meeting you by chance all the time, so that I can apologize to you in person and beg for your forgiveness..."
But you, you look healthy and have given birth to four children. Seeing you like this, I feel relieved.
I heard from your mother that you were leaving in the next few days, so I've been blocking you here every day.
I'm so glad to have run into you today. I'm going to apologize to you and it's a wish of mine. This way, I can go peacefully."
Qin Wan felt a sense of peace in her heart. Although Liu Juhua had repented, she could not utter the words of forgiveness. Moreover, Liu Juhua's actions had already killed the original owner. How could she forgive him just by saying so?
"Since Ms. Liu has realized her mistake, she should be a good person in the future." Qin Wan said lightly.
Liu Juhua slowly blinked her cloudy eyes, and with difficulty shifted her gaze to Qin Wan, and asked with a hint of doubt and uneasiness:
"Wanwan, could it be that... could it be that you mean you won't forgive me, your aunt?"
Qin Wan's face was expressionless, her eyes were so cold that they seemed to freeze. She snorted coldly and said:
"If someone lost their life because of what you did, and you come to apologize to them now, do you think they will forgive you?"
Hearing this, Liu Juhua couldn't help but shudder, and an inexplicable fear surged in her heart. She stared at Qin Wan with wide eyes and stammered:
"Wanwan, you...what on earth do you mean by this? Why...why are you suddenly saying such scary things about life and death! Look, aren't you still standing right in front of me, your aunt?"
Although Liu Juhua didn't think she was stupid, she couldn't understand the deep meaning of Qin Wan's words at all. For some reason, after hearing these words, she felt a chill on her back, a chill running up her spine.
However, Qin Wan did not give her more opportunities to explain, but just said lightly:
"Nothing special. Just assume I was already dead when you guys planned to send me to the countryside."
Before she finished speaking, she turned her head without hesitation and walked away in big strides.
Looking at Qin Wan's back as she walked away, Liu Juhua stood there in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.
It was not until Qin Wan's figure completely disappeared that Liu Juhua remembered the conversation with Qin Wan just now. Looking at her current poor appearance, she felt mixed emotions.
In fact, Qin Wan had already learned about the current situation of Liu Juhua's family through his eldest brother Qin Jing. So he came here today just to confirm it with his own eyes.
