Chapter 1393 My mother died because of you, right?
However, in reality, the city is still bustling and colorful.
Everything seemed to be in order, and everyone was busy and quietly passing by each other on the street.
The black car drove into Peacock Residence and stopped in front of Shen Pianpian's villa.
The girl, wrapped in a suit that was much too big for her, jumped out of the car. The street light illuminated her back as she walked towards the door without saying a word.
The car didn't move.
The man in the passenger seat turned his head to look at her, his eyes silent, filled with a chaotic despair that was almost enough to crush a person.
Until the carved black iron door slid open slowly with a ding, Shen Pianpian paused slightly when he was about to step in.
She turned her head slightly, and the light cast a cool halo over her silhouette. Even her voice seemed to be tinged with the chill of the night.
"Aren't you coming in?"
She looked at Cheng Zhiyuan in the passenger seat, half of his face was submerged in shadow, and her expression could not be seen clearly.
The two of them walked into the courtyard in silence, one in front and one behind.
The dim street lights lit up one after another, like constantly burning sparks, illuminating the rough cobblestone road all the way and casting two silent shadows on the grass.
She stopped in front of the door.
He raised his hand and pressed the fingerprint switch, but for a long time he did not push open the unlocked door.
Like a stone statue frozen in the dim shadows, she spoke slowly after a long while.
"In fact, if I don't look at the photos, I can hardly remember what my mother looks like."
The girl's voice was a little hoarse, and the tail tone was so faint in the cool breeze that it seemed like smoke that would dissipate in the blink of an eye.
"But I still remember the way she played the piano and the sound of her voice."
"My mother is a very gentle person, although she is actually very capable. Many people think she is a strong woman."
The dim street lights illuminated the man standing outside the corridor.
The beautiful lips were tightly pursed, and along with his complexion, they turned pale layer by layer as he listened to the girl's slow voice.
It was as if some invisible serious injury or poison was penetrating deep into his internal organs, making even his breathing weak and difficult.
The gentle woman in the past who was dragged to death by him was slowly emerging in his mind, like a rope wrapped around his neck, almost suffocating him with circles.
Cheng Zhiyuan swayed, but stabilized in just a second.
But the girl didn't look back.
She stood in front of the door all the time, with her head slightly lowered, as if she was slowly sorting out her long-lost memories in this dark night.
"In fact, I didn't even remember her funeral for a long time. I just know there were a lot of people there, and I remember it was at my grandfather's birthday party. But later, for some reason, that memory kept getting muddled, and I even believed the fake news that she died after being seriously injured and lingering on the bed for a long time."
Where Cheng Zhiyuan couldn't see, Shen Pianpian looked pale and dazed, with some guilt and uneasiness towards her mother.
"But actually, my mother died on the spot, right?"
The girl finally turned around, her dark eyes staring straight at Cheng Zhiyuan.
"He suffered an irreparable gunshot wound and died in the sea. When he was rescued, his body was already..."
She choked, and a sound similar to sobbing came out of her throat.
After calming down for a while, she continued slowly,
"And in that kidnapping incident, the real target was actually you. My mother was just an implicated, insignificant figure. The whole thing actually had nothing to do with her, right?"
The distance between the two people is neither far nor close.
The cool wind blew over, bringing with it the scent of grass and trees in the garden, ruffling the grass on the ground, and the shadows began to sway silently along with it.
After a long while, Cheng Zhiyuan finally spoke slowly.
"right."
