Today, Leng Mu wore a classic cheongsam, a light blue one with classic horizontal stripes, which suited her age quite well.
Mother Leng smiled faintly, "Long time no see, how are you?" They had received news that Su Bing'er from back then had risen from the ashes, and they were somewhat shocked and disbelieving at the time.
I attended Miss Nangong's birthday party today, and I never expected to see it with my own eyes.
It has been many years. Eight years have passed since their son passed away, and they have not seen each other for six years now.
To be precise, it should also be eight years.
The last time they met was at her funeral hall. Two years ago, the white-haired man had sent off the black-haired man. Now, two years later, they had personally seen off the woman who almost became their daughter-in-law.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a trick of fate.
Seeing old acquaintances again brought no joy of reunion, only endless sorrow.
The only man who ever lived in her heart died in a car accident many years ago, taking away their beautiful memories and longings.
Shen Shiyi greeted him with a somber tone, "Uncle and Aunt, it's been a long time. How are you?"
She was asking how many people could remember Qianqian Yeye, who had been without Leng Qianhan's company all these years, now in middle age and suffering the pain of losing her son.
Leng's mother smiled and said, "It's fine. I rarely dream about him anymore. It's just that my body is still a bit injured and it's not recovering well." She chatted as if they were just having a casual conversation.
Sadness and regret are forever left to those who are still alive; they can only slowly come to understand them on their own.
She used to hate, but what wrong had she done? It was just that they were destined to be apart.
"That's good. Take care of yourself. I heard there's a miracle doctor in the suburbs who specializes in treating difficult and complicated diseases. You can go and see him if you need to." Since they've done this, she also bears some responsibility.
"I know I'm going to be an old man soon. I heard you're a career soldier now." I never expected you to participate, and even changed your name.
Shen Shiyi said softly, "Yes, I've been in the army for five years." They weren't surprised that they knew about her.
The father, who had a low profile, said, "I didn't expect that, but it's good. Everyone has their own ambitions. We are pleased that you didn't give up on yourself and serve the country. That's good."
However, this profession is ultimately somewhat dangerous; one wrong move and you could lose your life.
Shen Shiyi was surprised that Leng's father could chat as calmly as Leng's mother, saying, "You're right."
"I heard about your child..." She hesitated, as if to say something but then stopped. "Why don't they have that kind of luck? The Li family is truly ungrateful; they had such a good daughter-in-law, yet they forced her to her death."
"Sigh, if those terrible things hadn't happened, we might be a family now. We'd probably have a house full of children and grandchildren by now. That's fate."
Hearing this, the father frowned and interrupted coldly, "Why bring up those old things again? Women are just too sentimental, what a nuisance."
After scolding his wife, the father said calmly, "Let's go over first. Come over to our house sometime." He then helped his wife turn around to chat with his friend.
"Are you alright?" Qin Ziming's strong, slightly concerned voice came from behind.
"It's alright. Why does everyone keep asking me if I'm okay today? You guys aren't tired of asking, but I'm getting tired of answering." It was rare for her to be humorous for a moment.
Qin Ziming chuckled, "That's rare. By the way, aren't they the chairman and his wife of the Leng Group? How do you know them?" She hadn't realized that she knew so many important people.
Shen Shiyi knew he hadn't meant it by asking, and answered with a touch of sadness. "They are his parents"—the "him" of course referred to Leng Qianhan.
I also know some things about Shen Shiyi and Su Bing'er's past.
The sadness in her tone did not escape his ears. "It's all in the past, people should look forward." Shiyi, your past has so many people and things. Really, sometimes you are like a mystery to me, making me completely unsure how to get close to you.
As Leng Mu walked away, she turned her head and took a deep look.
Was that refined and elegant man her husband?
It doesn't seem like it.
Could he be a suitor?
Qianhan, she is doing well. You can rest in peace.
"Oh, so this is where you are. We've been looking for you for ages," Ruan Tiancheng said pitifully in a low voice.
This precious time together was ruined by this clueless person, and I couldn't be happier. "Tch, what? If not here, where am I supposed to be? To the Western Paradise?"
"Hey, you want to go? There aren't any seats available for you yet." Has this guy gotten himself into a rage today?
"Hey bro, you don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense?" He then touched Qin Ziming's forehead, which amused the others.
Suddenly, I was attacked from behind. "I'm telling you, you're all height and no brains. I seriously suspect your IQ is only 0." You have no sense at all. How have you survived to this day?
He gets angry as soon as you say that: "Tomboy, you dead woman, how dare you doubt my intelligence? You don't want to live anymore!" Damn it, I get itchy if I don't insult him every day.
Seeing that the two were about to fight, Ruan Tiancheng was full of murderous intent, but Shen Shiyi quickly stopped them, saying, "Alright, aren't you two ashamed? This is the commander's house."
How dare they provoke the Grand Duke Jupiter? They're asking for trouble.
"Yeah, you two, just stop arguing. We're getting tired of hearing it," a comrade said, trying to calm them down.
"Hey bro, let's go get some drinks."
Before leaving, his eyes never left Xia Yiran, glaring at him coldly and resentfully.
Seeing this, Xia Yiran glared back defiantly.
Shen Shiyi pulled her aside and advised, "Alright, everyone's gone. It's said that enemies are destined to meet."
"Shiyi, you look beautiful today." But Xintian's genuine praise for Shen Shiyi left Shen Shiyi somewhat puzzled.
