Chapter 2390 The Unbridled Rose
We drove two cars when we came so that the driver would have a car on the return trip.
At this time, the two drivers had already driven away one car, leaving behind a black SUV.
Gu Changhai got in the off-road vehicle and headed towards the mountain where Wanqing's tomb was located.
The journey was not far and he drove fast, so he arrived at the foot of the mountain in ten minutes.
He hadn't been here for many years, but he remembered this road very clearly. There was only one way up the mountain, so after parking the car, he walked straight up the mountain.
The mountain road was not easy to walk on, and the slopes were very steep in some places, but Gu Changhai did not feel very tired.
Thinking back to the year Wanqing passed away, I was only in my thirties, and I still felt a little tired when climbing this mountain. Unexpectedly, now that I am middle-aged, my physical strength is even better than before.
Maybe it was because he had been working hard, had a bad relationship, and suffered the pain of losing his wife. He hadn't slept for several days and was very weak.
It is also possible that after Wanqing's death, he had no way to vent his pain, so he tortured himself through high-intensity exercise, but ended up ruining his health.
Anyway, in terms of physical fitness, among people of the same age, apart from Shi Guangyuan, I can't think of anyone else who can compare with him.
Thinking of this, Gu Changhai was very satisfied with his condition and his steps became lighter.
I wanted to call Lin Ke, but since there was only one way up and down the mountain, I just went straight to find her.
As for the Taoist temple, if you want to go there, you have to go to the top of the mountain first, and then take an aerial cable bridge to the other top of the mountain. The Taoist temple is built on the top of that mountain.
This is also the road to go down the mountain from the Taoist temple.
Since he didn't see Lin Ke coming down the mountain along the way, Gu Changhai knew that she was either still paying homage at her sister's grave or at the Taoist temple.
Not long after, Gu Changhai reached the top of the mountain, took a deep breath, and walked towards Wanqing's grave. He soon saw the grave and Xiao Ke kneeling in front of the tombstone.
Because he was far away and the trees were blocking his view, he could only see half of Lin Ke's profile. She was still so thin.
Thinking back to the two months before he married Wanqing, he often went to Wanqing's house, either to send her home or to pick her up for a date, and naturally he often met Lin Ke.
At that time, he was twenty-three years old and Lin Ke was only fifteen.
The little girl hasn't grown up yet. She has a thin body and a thin face, which makes her eyes look especially big.
I especially remember the first time I met her on the stairs. She was wearing her school uniform and was hurriedly coming down the stairs with her ponytail swinging. It seemed that she was about to be late.
The two of them met head-on. Lin Ke stood on the stairs, looking at him with her eyes wide open, like a frightened little animal, ready to run away at any time.
He greeted the little girl gently and introduced himself.
As if she knew he had no hostility, she nodded hurriedly, then turned away her panicked gaze and went downstairs...
Gu Changhai walked forward again and saw her complete back.
No wonder she is being pursued by a young man in his twenties... Just look at Xiao Ke's back, and some people would believe her if she said she was in her twenties.
However, Gu Changhai believed that if only her appearance was a plus, it might not be enough to attract the young man. The personality and temperament of the little sister of the Lin family were very special and very likable.
Her sister has a temperament like orchid, a little cold, and although she is also rebellious, she is still traditional after all.
Lin Ke is like a wall of roses blooming freely, unrestrained and uninhibited.
So when he heard that she got married while pregnant, took a year off from school, and completed her studies after giving birth, Gu Changhai was not surprised at all.
She is indeed the kind of girl who dares to challenge the secular rules.
I just don't know what kind of man she met that year was, who could make a girl like her afraid to fall in love...
Gu Changhai thought so and walked forward.
Lin Ke seemed not to have heard his voice. He was afraid that he would scare her if he walked over suddenly. Just as he was about to shout, he heard her say, "Sister, Chen Xiaofeng is dead. My brother-in-law said that Xiao Chongyang killed her..."
Gu Changhai stopped and decided not to disturb her for the time being, letting her and her sister finish their conversation.
Anyway, Gu Changhai also wanted to tell Wanqing about Chen Xiaofeng's fate, and the same thing went for Lin Ke.
Lin Ke must have been crying, her shoulders were shaking slightly and her voice was nasal.
She continued, "When I left Haicheng, did I protect you or harm you..."
Gu Changhai frowned, what does this mean.
Lin Ke left Haicheng after graduating from university, before Wanqing passed away.
But why was Lin Ke's departure a protection for Wanqing, and how could it harm Wanqing?
Lin Ke wiped her tears and continued to confide in her sister, or rather, to confess her regrets...
"If I testify on my brother-in-law's behalf and tell you that nothing happened between him and Chen Xiaofeng that night, he wouldn't be deceived by that woman, and you wouldn't be sad, let alone killed by that woman... But I don't dare say it. I don't know if that would make you feel better or even more sad..."
As she spoke, she began to sob, leaned forward, and knelt, almost lying in front of her sister's tombstone.
Gu Changhai stood there in a daze, sorting out what he had just heard over and over in his mind.
Why can Lin Ke testify, and why doesn't he dare to testify.
If Lin Ke told the truth, why would Wanqing be even more sad...
He suddenly remembered the inexplicable bloodstains left on the bed sheet that night...
My thoughts are becoming clearer, but my mind is becoming more confused.
That guess made him want to escape for a moment. He didn't dare to face it, nor did he want to face it.
He felt ashamed and incredibly angry, and wanted to slap himself twice.
But seeing Lin Ke lying in front of the tombstone, blaming herself in agony, her shoulders shaking with tears, I thought of her years of forbearance and her lost youth. And what Han Ye's grandmother had just said: How many twenty years can a person have in their life...
There was only one emotion left in Gu Changhai's heart: guilt, deep guilt.
If that was the case, he couldn't even think of what he could do to make amends. Because it was unforgivable.
Then he shook his head and said to himself, maybe he was wrong.
Maybe that night, Lin Ke happened to see Chen Xiaofeng being kicked out of the hotel room by him, but Lin Ke didn't dare to tell her sister because she was also in the hotel.
What is she doing? Maybe she is dating that man, and their relationship cannot be known to others. Maybe he is a married man, or a criminal.
If she told her sister, her sister would know that she was dating that man and would be disappointed in her.
Yes, this possibility is very high, so don’t jump to conclusions yet.
Gu Changhai waited for two minutes, took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, called out "Lin Ke", and then walked towards her.
When Lin Ke heard the sound, she turned around abruptly and looked at him with her big eyes, just like the look she had when they first met, like a frightened little animal, ready to run away at any time.
Her look made Gu Changhai very painful and even unable to face it.
The disgust towards myself that I had just suppressed surged up again.
But first, let me ask...
