Chapter 88 Yunlan, I'm here to see you
"Hehe..." Du Ruomei was amused by him. Jiang Yunhe was not young anymore, and so was she, always being urged to get married by her parents and family.
If she could resolve her personal problems, she could also focus on her medical career.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
With her statement, Jiang Yunhe was extremely happy and wished he could take Du Ruomei home to meet his parents tomorrow.

In the next few days, Lu Zhenyu came again and brought a lot of food and clothes for Su Luo. He just wanted to make it up to his daughter in any way he could think of.
However, he was not in a hurry to recognize each other. He could wait and get to know his daughter better first.
The National Day holiday is almost over, Su Luo has to go back to school, and Qin Zhan has to return to the team.
Although the couple are reluctant to part with each other, they still have to separate for a while.
On the day Qin Zhan sent Su Luo back to the county school, Lu Zhenyu happened to come over and join them. He planned to go to Jiangjiaba and also wanted to spend more time with his daughter.
Everyone set off together and sat in the same car. Along the way, Su Luo didn't say much. It was Qin Zhan and Lu Zhenyu who were chatting.
The two of them asked and answered each other, hoping that Su Luo would know more about him as her father.
When the car arrived in Weinan County, Su Luo was first taken to the home of her second uncle Jiang Pengcheng, and Lu Zhenyu also stopped by to visit.
Jiang Pengcheng had met Lu Zhenyu at the wedding, but he was shocked to see such a high-ranking leader visiting his home.
When they learned from the conversation that he was Su Luo's biological father, Jiang Pengcheng and Wang Yulian were shocked. I'm afraid anyone who heard about it would be surprised!
When talking about Yunlan's death, Jiang Pengcheng felt resentful towards Lu Zhenyu. He told him what happened that year. Lu Zhenyu felt guilty and bowed his head to admit his mistake.
"I should have kicked you out, but now, everything is over, so I won't talk about it anymore. Since you are here, you should go and see Yunlan!" Jiang Pengcheng said.
"I know. I plan to visit Yunlan first."
After sitting for a while at Jiang Pengcheng's house, Lu Zhenyu suggested going to the county cemetery to pay tribute to Jiang Yunlan.
Su Luo, her second uncle and Qin Zhan all accompanied her.
Jiang Yunlan's grave was in front of him. The last ten or so meters Lu Zhenyu walked seemed longer than centuries.
The scenes of meeting Jiang Yunlan after being injured in Dacang Mountain kept replaying in my mind like a movie.
In this era, transportation is slow, letters are far away, and a lifetime is only enough time to love one person. This is indeed true.
He and Jiang Yunlan had fallen in love in that cave. At that time, he was just an unknown soldier.
Now, he has been promoted to the supreme commander of the navy, but the person he cared about is gone forever.
When he arrived in front of the tombstone, Lu Zhenyu saw the woman in the black and white photo. She was the same as he remembered her, without any change.
The smile is as bright as a flower and as beautiful as fire.
Pure, kind, beautiful and indifferent.
He gently placed the flowers in his hand in front of the grave, then reached out to brush away the fallen leaves on the tombstone, carefully, as if he was carefully combing his lover's hair.
"Yunlan, I'm here to see you. I'm sorry I'm late..."
With a deep confession, Lu Zhenyu fell to his knees in front of the grave, his whole body immersed in sorrow.
Su Luo's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and she said to her mother in her heart.
Mom, that person is coming!
He came to see you, did you see it?
Su Luo and Qin Zhan paid their respects to Jiang Yunlan. As the sun set, Jiang Pengcheng patted Lu Zhenyu on the shoulder and said, "Old Lu, why don't we all go back?"
"You all should go, I want to be alone with her for a while."
Lu Zhenyu did not leave. He wanted to stay here and spend more time with Jiang Yunlan.
Everyone could only respect him and leave the cemetery first.
Lu Zhenyu stayed in the cemetery for a long time, from bright day to starry sky, he told Jiang Yunlan all his life experiences over the years.
He could even feel that Jiang Yunlan seemed to be still alive, sitting next to him, listening to him quietly.
When Jiang Pengcheng came to see him again, it was already very late. He could still see Lu Zhenyu sitting next to the tombstone, smoking and talking to Jiang Yunlan.
"Old Lu, it's too late. We should go home. Let's go. You can come anytime you want in the future."
After Jiang Pengcheng's persuasion, Lu Zhenyu reluctantly stood up, but his legs were already numb.
Before leaving, he seemed to make a promise to Jiang Yunlan, "Yunlan, wait for me. I will come to meet you in a hundred years."
This is not just empty talk, but Lu Zhenyu's practical plan.
He wanted to be buried with Jiang Yunlan after his death to make up for the regrets in their lives.
Jiang Pengcheng took Lu Zhenyu away. Lu Zhenyu didn't even have dinner and went straight to the guesthouse to stay.
The next morning, Lu Zhenyu went to Jiangjiaba, and Jiang Pengcheng personally accompanied him back.
Qin Zhan stayed at Jiang Pengcheng's house with Su Luo, waiting for the bus to come back and then return to the provincial capital.
The two were about to separate, and Qin Zhan was reluctant to let her go. He sat in Su Luo's small room, staring at her again and again.
"Is there something on my face?" Su Luo asked.
"Nothing, I just wanted to take a look. I missed you before I left."
Qin Zhan pulled Su Luo back into his arms, kissed her lips, kissed her for a moment, and said, "I won't be able to see you until the New Year, which is still several months away. What if I miss you?"
“Look at my pictures!”
Su Luo found a photo she had taken in the county town from the book and gave it to him. "Keep it well. Look at it when you miss me."
"Mmm, my wife is so pretty."
Qin Zhan stuffed the photo into his pocket and placed it close to his heart.
The other side.
Jiang Pengcheng brought Lu Zhenyu to Jiangjiaba.
When Lu Zhenyu saw the familiar village, he could still remember the scene when he came here before.
But now, everything has changed!
When they arrived at the Jiang family's yard, Jiang Pengcheng went into the yard and called his parents. The two elders heard the voice and came out of the house to see that their second son was walking towards them with a middle-aged man with a dignified temperament.
The two elders were a little surprised. Jiang Pengcheng introduced, "Mom, this is Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Lu Zhenyu. He came here specially to visit you today."
"Are you Lu Zhenyu? The guy who harmed my daughter? What are you doing here?"
Jiang Houde saw Lu Zhenyu was as excited as if he had seen a murderer, so he grabbed the man's collar and shouted at him.
"Uncle Jiang, I'm sorry..."
Lu Zhenyu felt guilty and could only let the old man drag him. His adjutant and guards wanted to step forward to help, but were stopped by Jiang Pengcheng.
Jiang Houde was filled with resentment and pushed Lu Zhenyu away fiercely, "Get out! Get out!"
Yao Guixiang brought a basin of water and poured it directly on him, saying angrily, "Yunlan is already dead, what are you still doing here?"
Lu Zhenyu was soaking wet, his eyes red, and he said guiltily, "I'm sorry, I know I'm guilty. You hit me and scolded me, I deserve it. I'm sorry..."
Jiang Jiaan also picked up a shovel next to the door and was about to hit him, "How dare you come to my door! I'll beat you to death, you bastard!"
Jiang Pengcheng was afraid of something happening, so he stepped forward to stop him, "Old Four, don't be impulsive!"
"Second brother, have you forgotten what happened to Yunlan? For so many years, our family has been implicated. What do the villagers and neighbors say about her and our family? Isn't all his fault?" Jiang Jiaan said angrily.
"I know, I know, but it's already happened. If he wants to repent and apologize, he should be given a chance to atone for his sins. He is guilty, and Yunlan herself is also responsible. The one who killed Yunlan, Su Qingshou, is the one who deserves to be cut into pieces!" Jiang Pengcheng tried to stop the fight and finally calmed down the angry Fourth Brother.
"I'm sorry! It's all my fault..."
Lu Zhenyu bent his knees and knelt in front of the two elders, crying bitterly and deeply repenting, "It's all my fault... You can scold me and beat me..."
"What's the point of beating and scolding you? Can you bring Yunlan back to life?"
The two elders burst into tears, and the brothers Jiang Jiaan and Jiang Pengcheng also felt bad.
After a long time, the two elders were persuaded to go back into the house, and Lu Zhenyu was also invited in. The guards helped to deliver the gifts they brought into the house.
"Uncle Jiang, Auntie!"
After sitting down, Lu Zhenyu talked about his experience that year and expressed his deep gratitude. He also said, "It's all my fault. I should have come home at that time and shouldn't have let Yunlan wait for me. If I had come home at that time, perhaps everything would have been different. I also regret not coming home and looking for Yunlan later, which led to her such a tragic end. Uncle Jiang, Aunt, please forgive me!"
With red eyes, Lu Zhenyu knelt in front of the two elders again, begging for forgiveness.
Jiang Houde and Yao Guixiang both sighed to the sky. Finally, Yao Guixiang said, "Yunlan is gone. It was that beast named Su who killed her. We shouldn't have taken our anger out on you, but the most fundamental reason is you. We blame you because we only had one daughter, Yunlan, and she died in a foreign land. We are heartbroken!"
"I know, I understand. I'm sorry, auntie."
"Alas, it's too late to say anything now. We don't expect you to do anything to Yunlan, but you can't just ignore the daughter Yunlan gave birth to for you!"
"I know. I will take care of it. I will treat Luoluo well." Lu Zhenyu promised.
In the end, it was Yao Guixiang who made the decision, "Alright, the past is in the past, let's not talk about it anymore. Just let him get up!"
Jiang Houde and Jiang Jiaan didn't say anything. Yao Guixiang personally helped Lu Zhenyu up. Lu Zhenyu felt grateful and sad.
What makes him sad is that he still cannot forgive himself, but he is grateful that Yao Guixiang and others are willing to put aside their past grudges and give him a chance.
Yao Guixiang wiped her tears and said, "It's also Yunlan's own fault. If she had explained it to us clearly at the time, maybe we would have let her stay home and wait for you. But that girl acted on her own. Alas..."
No matter what, both Lu Zhenyu and Jiang Yunlan are responsible. If they take a wrong step, there is no turning back.
Lu Zhenyu was deeply moved and said in public, "Even if Yunlan is gone, I will still be your Jiang family's son-in-law in the future. I hope you two elders can treat me as half a son. I will be filial to you on Yunlan's behalf."
Lu Zhenyu's attitude was so sincere that the Jiang family couldn't say anything.
The two elders finally chose to reconcile, also because of the other party's sincerity. Yao Guixiang asked again, "You and Luoluo have met, and we have no objection to you recognizing your daughter. How is Luoluo now? Has she accepted you?"
