Looking at her mother lying on the bed like withered grass, Mu Xiaoting felt a deep sense of sorrow.
Aren't I the same?
Back then, when she married Luo Hao, he wasn't bad to her. Li Fang framed her and caused her to miscarry, but the truth eventually came out and he was punished accordingly. However, she still couldn't forgive him.
She thought that Pan Jun's acceptance of her meant she had truly found happiness, but little did she know that people can change.
Since Pan Jun became the factory director, he has been frequently on business trips. He blames his inability to have children on his past miscarriages.
Even though she finally got pregnant, he was still very busy. Despite not having to work, he would still play cards until dawn.
When my child is sick, I stay up all night by myself.
Later, when her father fell ill, she frequently returned to her parents' home to support them, and each time she did, she would be criticized.
She really wondered if her initial choice was right or wrong.
Would it be better to continue living with Luo Hao than it is now?
Perhaps, this is fate!
Wenli was hospitalized, so she had to run back and forth between home and the hospital.
We hired a caregiver at the hospital to keep an eye on my mother at all times, in case she does something foolish when she's confused.
As he was leaving the hospital, he was spotted by Liu Ying, who had come to visit a friend who was ill.
After returning home, Liu Ying told Liu Zhengfeng about Wen Li's hospitalization.
"Sigh, he's a pitiful person too," Liu Zhengfeng sighed as he watered the flowers.
He now has a full head of white hair and is extremely thin. Wearing his old military uniform, he looks very overweight.
Liu Ying laughed: "Dad, stop praising others. Aren't you the same? Is Zhao Xiaolan really that great, that you still think about her so much?"
She still remembers that the last time Elaine Chao came back, he knew he was no longer good enough for her, so he deliberately acted very intimately with the nanny to make people misunderstand.
Actually, he has always had her in his heart all these years.
Besides his first wife, she was the woman he missed the most.
Hearing that Mu Chengyi regretted it, he gloated, "He gave up such a good wife as Xiaolan, now he knows he regrets it!"
"It's too late. Xiaolan already has a husband; he's a high-ranking official, they share similar interests, and he puts her first."
He was talking about Mu Chengyi, but wasn't he also mocking himself?
His only motivation to live now is the fear that Zhao Xiaolan will be left alone, and that he can go and keep her company.
......
When Mu Xiaoting returned home, she was about to get some more clothes for Wen Li when she saw that paint had been splashed on the door.
A phone number was left in the blank space on the door.
The meaning is clear: this method will get the owner of the forest to contact them.
At this point, Mu Xiaoting couldn't hold on any longer and called Lin Ye.
"Anyway, your mother is in the hospital recently, so don't go back. I understand."
Lin Ye remained unusually calm upon hearing of Mu Chengyi's death.
From the moment Mu Chengyi chose Wen Li, he would no longer be emotionally affected by her affairs.
No matter how much effort I put in or how many tears I shed in order to find him, it didn't matter.
But not in the future.
Even after he suffered a stroke, Lin Ye would only call him once a year during the Lunar New Year to say hello and send him some money.
That's only because of her younger sister, Mu Xiaoting.
After all, Mu Xiaoting and Lu Wanqing were once considered good friends.
Lu Wanqing overheard him on the phone and put her arm around him, saying:
"Since we're already here, let's take some time to go back and sweep the graves. It's almost the Ghost Festival."
"How about we don't sell that piece of land?" Lin Ye suddenly put his arm around her waist and said.
Lu Wanqing had asked him to buy that land so that he could sell it when its value increased.
Now that someone is willing to pay a high price, given Lu Wanqing's personality, there's no need for her to keep it.
“Okay. Anyway, we have so many assets now. Even if we sell those thirty acres of land for a high price, it will only bring in a few million more. Keeping it will at least give Dad a place to live.” Lu Wanqing patted his head and smiled.
Lin Ye pulled her onto his lap and kissed her neck.
Sometimes, what we use to resist heartache can be animalistic desires.
After all, he was her own father, and it would still be heartbreaking to hear that he was gone.
Before returning to his hometown to sweep the tombs, Lin Ye sent people to renovate the cemetery, using the finest white marble, and erected a new tombstone.
As soon as the news spread, the leaders of the local county government held a meeting to discuss how to welcome Lu Wanqing and her entourage.
The leadership team missed the opportunity when they visited the resort last time; they must pay attention this time.
The tomb of the richest man in the province is located in the county town. What an honor that is! If we take this opportunity to meet and talk with Lu Wanqing, the problem of attracting investment will be solved!
Before they could even get in touch with Lu Wanqing, the leadership team received an anonymous letter.
The letter angrily condemned the practice of building cemeteries in forests, arguing that this contradicts the country's advocacy of environmentally friendly cremation.
Even on one's own land, one cannot act recklessly or encourage such a trend.
The county leaders were so frightened that they held another meeting to discuss how to accommodate Lu Wanqing's trip to sweep the tombs while avoiding gossip.
"We're leading cadres, do you think we can be led by the nose by an anonymous letter?"
"Precisely because we represent the interests of the people, we cannot be criticized for the methods we use to attract investment."
The leadership team also had disagreements.
Just when things were still undecided, a new situation arose in the woods.
A garbage truck, seemingly from nowhere, dumps trash into the woods from morning till night, making the riverbank stink. Residents who usually enjoy strolling along the river are calling to complain.
This made the leader uneasy, and he immediately contacted Lu Wanqing.
Lu Wanqing's assistant replied immediately after hearing this:
"Why are you coming to us for this? You should be looking for the person who took out the trash. As the owner of the forest, Chairman Lu also expects an explanation from you."
Huang Ming intended to use this method to force the owner to show up, but unexpectedly, the sanitation department intervened and directly apprehended the person dumping the garbage.
Huang Ming's men, of course, did not implicate him; instead, they confessed their crimes and were imprisoned.
The next day, all the garbage appeared in Huang Ming's yard.
Huang Ming's desire to buy that piece of land was related to his purchase of a house in the county town, where he planned to retire.
Good heavens, now the yard is full of garbage, and the stench has permeated the entire yard. It probably won't be habitable for a year or two.
However, it was because of this that he finally learned that the husband Wenli mentioned was actually Lin Ye's father.
That piece of land belongs to Lin Ye and his wife.
For him to buy the land from Lu Wanqing is harder than climbing to heaven!
If you can't have it, then destroy it.
Didn't they want Mu Chengyi to lie down on that auspicious burial site?
Then he'll set the forest on fire and burn it down. Then, that land won't be able to be sold!
