Chapter 644 All his reasons became pale and weak.
Qi Yue frowned and glanced at him sideways, "Don't make such pointless jokes."
He opened the driver's side door. "Let's go, I'll take you home."
Fu Nian'an chuckled lightly, not thinking much of it, and opened the back door to get in the car.
The car door closed, and Fu Nian'an looked at Qi Yue in the driver's seat. "Xiao Qi, let's drive."
Qi Yue: "..."
Childish devil!
...
Back at the Lijiang Villa, Qi Yue and Fu Nian'an entered the house one after the other.
In the living room on the first floor, Fu Siyan was sitting on the sofa.
Upon seeing them return, he invited them to sit down and personally brewed tea.
"Is everything taken care of?"
Qi Yue: "Everything has been taken care of. The funeral will proceed smoothly tomorrow."
Fu Siyan nodded, pursed his lips, and sighed.
"Where's my sister?" Fu Nian'an asked.
"In the room." Fu Siyan's expression was solemn, and his tone was full of heartache. "She kept waking up from nightmares last night, and she would cry as soon as she woke up. Your mother was with her."
Upon hearing this, Fu Nian'an and Qi Yue's expressions also turned grave.
“I’m afraid she won’t be able to let go of this matter anytime soon,” Fu Nian’an said. “Dad, isn’t it inappropriate for her to go to school in Beijing alone in this state?”
"Your mother and I discussed it privately yesterday, and we've decided to go to Beijing to stay with her for a while."
Upon hearing this, Fu Nian'an nodded, "That's the best way. You can rest assured that Nian'er has me and Aunt Yun at home."
“Yes, Niannian told me this morning before she left home that she hoped we could go to Beijing to be with Anning. She’s a sensible and good child.”
Qi Yue listened to their conversation without saying a word.
He kept his head down, didn't speak, and looked preoccupied.
Fu Nian'an noticed it.
But he didn't press the matter in front of Fu Siyan.
...
Qi Yue sat for a while, then said he had to leave because of company business.
Fu Nian'an saw him out.
In the courtyard, Fu Nian'an looked at Qi Yue with sharp eyes, "Qi Yue, are you hiding something from us?"
Qi Yue's eyelashes fluttered, but his expression remained calm. "Why would you ask that?"
“You’ve been spacing out all day,” Fu Nian’an said, looking at him. “And you didn’t even glance at An Ning before leaving.”
"Something came up at the company," Qi Yue said calmly. "I'm relieved that you're all here with her."
"Who was it that said family and boyfriends are ultimately different, and now they've changed their tune?"
Qi Yue raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, his tone slightly tired, "My company really has something going on. Please take care of Ningning."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and opened the car door.
He closed the car door, turned the car around, and drove away.
Fu Nian'an narrowed her eyes as she watched the car drive away.
...
The next day, Shen Anning attended You Jingqiao's funeral accompanied by her family.
The funeral was well-organized because Fu Nian'an and Qi Yue had made arrangements in advance.
Yu Jingqiao's high school classmates and teachers all came to the funeral, which was arranged by Qi Yue.
The funeral was filled with weeping.
You Jingqiao's father and mother looked as if they had lost their beloved daughter, which made everyone feel sorry for the couple.
Outside the funeral home, Qi Yue, dressed in black, did not go in.
He stood outside the door, smoked a cigarette by himself, and then turned and left.
Strictly speaking, You Jingqiao's death was indirectly caused by him.
But he didn't have the courage to confess this secret.
He was afraid that Shen Anning would blame him if she found out.
With You Jingqiao dead, all his reasons became meaningless.
...
Three days after You Jingqiao's funeral.
You's mother made a phone call to Shen Anning.
On the phone, You's mother stammered that she had to take care of her youngest son and didn't have time to go to Beijing to sort through You Jingqiao's belongings.
You Jingqiao's death made Shen Anning see You's mother's true colors.
In her heart, she probably already considered You Jingqiao a nuisance.
Even after someone dies, she can't bear to take a moment to go to the capital to sort through their belongings.
It seems you don't think it's worth enough?
But You Jingqiao's compensation is over a million yuan!
Shen Anning felt indignant for You Jingqiao, and at the same time, she felt extremely tired.
You Jingqiao is gone, so what's the point of her worrying about these things?
Shen Anning casually said that she would bring it back for her during the winter break, and then hung up the phone.
A few minutes after the phone call ended, You's mother sent a message.
Miss Shen, I know I've wronged Qiaoqiao, and I know you genuinely cared for her, but she's dead. I still have my family, my youngest son, and I have to keep living my life. I hope Miss Shen can understand me.
Shen Anning didn't reply, deleted the message, and blacklisted You's mother's number.
...
Shen Anning has returned to the capital.
Qi Yue is away on a business trip abroad and cannot accompany you.
This time, Fu Siyan and Shen Qingshu accompanied her to the capital.
Although Shen Anning repeatedly said that she was fine, how could her parents be at ease?
Shen Anning knew that her parents were worried about her and that they would always be concerned about her, so she agreed.
Fearing that Chen Anning would be reminded of her past, Fu Siyan directly bought a villa in a new residential area on the street next to Peking University. It was fully furnished and ready to move in.
We hired a driver and a live-in nanny.
Shen Anning felt as if she had returned to her high school days in an instant.
I leave early and return late every day, and I can see my parents as soon as I get home.
Fu Siyan personally cooks soup for Shen Anning every day, and Shen Qingshu accompanies Shen Anning to sleep every night.
With her parents' attentive care, Shen Anning gradually recovered.
The dead cannot be brought back to life, and Shen Anning understood this. She was also very strong and did not let herself sink into despair.
Qi Yue was abroad for a relatively long time this time and seemed to be very busy, so the frequency of phone calls and video chats was not as frequent as before.
Shen Anning understood, and besides, her parents were by her side, so she wasn't that dependent on Qi Yue.
Days passed, and the snow continued to fall in Beijing, covering the city in white. Shen Anning was about to welcome her first winter break in her university life.
The rent for the apartment that Shen Anning shared with You Jingqiao hadn't expired yet, but Shen Anning hadn't gone back.
It wasn't until the day before she was to return home with her parents for winter break that Shen Anning finally mustered the courage to go back to that house.
She remembered that You Jingqiao had left quite a few things in the room.
There were some things she needed to pack up and take back to her mother.
There are also some keepsakes belonging to the sisters, such as that photo frame, which she wants to take and keep.
Shen Anning did not tell her parents about returning to her rented apartment.
She will be 20 years old after the New Year, and there are some things she needs to learn to face independently.
She pushed open the door to You Jingqiao's room.
Tears still fall uncontrollably.
Shen Anning walked to the bedside and sat down, sitting quietly by herself.
She sat for a long time, and since the room wasn't heated beforehand, she felt a bit stiff and cold. Only then did she come to her senses, get up, and start packing her things.
Shen Anning found a cardboard box, put the photo frame inside, and also put in some small items that You Jingqiao liked.
Each of the sisters owns one of these little items, which symbolize their friendship.
After packing up these small items, Shen Anning brought out another suitcase.
She opened the wardrobe and began to sort through the clothes and personal belongings that You Jingqiao had left behind, packing them into her suitcase.
After tidying up the wardrobe, Shen Anning began tidying up the drawers.
When she opened the second drawer, Shen Anning saw a diary.
The diary was coded.
However, the combination lock was not locked, it seems that You Jingqiao forgot to take it with her when she left in a hurry.
Shen Anning initially wanted to put the diary in her suitcase, but then she thought that You Jingqiao probably wouldn't like her mother knowing her secret.
Because she always felt that her mother treated her younger brother better than she treated her.
Shen Anning couldn't help but open her diary.
Start from the first page.
That was something You Jingqiao started writing in high school. Seeing familiar little things would make her smile.
She was the person he mentioned most often in his diary.
In her diary, You Jingqiao regarded Shen Anning as her only salvation.
However, since the summer vacation before her senior year of high school, You Jingqiao has kept very few records.
Shen Anning thought that when she started working, she was probably too busy to write in her diary every day.
After they arrived at Peking University, You Jingqiao had to attend classes and work part-time, so she kept a diary even less, only about once a week.
The last entry was written the day before You Jingqiao left the country.
This morning, Mr. Qi approached me and said he hoped I would go abroad. I was surprised and asked him why. What he said next confirmed my long-held worries!
I know that President Qi is very outstanding and a good match for An Ning, but I have always felt that he is a bit domineering and possessive. However, An Ning likes him very much, so even though I have such concerns, I have never dared to say a bad word about President Qi in front of An Ning.
I never expected that President Qi would become jealous of Anning and me because we were close. He's really terrifying. Anning and I are just good friends. Isn't it normal for a girl to have a few close friends? He actually asked me to go abroad just because Anning and I live together and he saw that we got along well.
I don't want to go abroad, but Ms. Qi is threatening me. She says that if I don't go abroad, she'll make it impossible for me to make a living in China. She even threatened my family. I'm really scared...
Anning, I'm sorry, it's my fault, but I really can't stand up to President Qi.
I also thought about telling Anning, but on one side is my best friend, and on the other is my beloved boyfriend. Anning would definitely feel very conflicted. She is such a kind and good girl. She helped me so much in high school. She has done so much for me. I can't always let her worry about me.
Looking at it from another perspective, it's really just four years abroad. Consider it a learning experience. I'll come back after graduation, and by then, I hope Mr. Qi will have learned to respect An Ning...
The diary fell to the ground, and Shen Anning collapsed to the floor, feeling as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
