Looking back now, I realize that my father was never a materialistic person. He was so opposed to her and Qin Lang back then, so she should have talked to him calmly instead of making a scene and throwing a tantrum.
I imagine that her father was quite disappointed in her from that time on.
Mu Wenya felt a lump in her throat, and the food she was chewing tasted bland; she didn't know what she had eaten.
"Wenya, don't be sad, I will always be by your side."
"Sigh, if Dad doesn't wake up, Nanxun will be consumed by guilt. He hasn't been to the company for days, and the group must be in complete chaos right now. Is the Mu family going to fall apart?"
Mu Wenya was filled with deep worry.

That night, the entire Maple Riverside gradually fell into silence.
In one of the bedrooms, the old man lay quietly on the bed, his eyes closed, breathing evenly.
Just then, the door to the room slowly opened from the outside, and a figure quietly walked in, stopping right in front of the old man's bed.
The surroundings were quiet, with only the sound of two people breathing.
"We can finally talk to each other calmly for a while."
After a long while, the man looked at the old man lying on the bed and slowly spoke.
"Remember how you used to never let me finish speaking, always dismissing me from the very beginning? You said I was a wicked person, that Wenya wouldn't have a good outcome with me. To prove you wrong, I didn't hesitate to go out and do business with my friends to make money. And then..."
At this point, the man paused, a look of pain appearing in his eyes, as if he had remembered something that saddened him.
“This departure not only ruined myself, but also Wenya. My friend and I had an accident at sea, and the ship capsized... I was the only survivor, but living... was worse than being dead. My whole body, including my face, was bitten by crocodiles. If it weren't for God's blessing, I would have died countless times.”
Looking back on everything he had experienced over the past few years, he was filled with hatred.
He resented the old man for being so unreasonable and for not agreeing to his relationship with Mu Wenya.
He hated his friend, because it was his friend who suggested he go out and do business.
I hate that accident, I hate everything...
“You have no idea what I went through to barely survive. Every day of the past has been like purgatory for me. I thought about ending it all countless times, but I held back and endured it. If I died, who would remember me? Who would avenge me? So, I risked everything to come back here, back to this place that completely changed the course of my life!”
"You made me lose the woman I loved, fine, I'll let you taste what it's like to lose a loved one. If Mu Nanxun were dead, I'm sure you'd be devastated. But he's lucky, I tried to kill him several times but failed. And you, you just tripped and fell and ended up lying comfortably in bed."
“You said if you had fallen to your death, it would have been the end of it all. But what about you, half-dead from the fall? Well, maybe this is God giving me a chance to end your life, and to get justice for the suffering I’ve endured all these years.”
"Don't worry, once you're dead, you won't be able to object to me being with Wenya anymore. But I will still treat her well. You'll know from the afterlife how wrong you were to look down on me back then."
