Chapter 395 Bringing Huo Yanmo to the Cemetery
Shi Nian looked at Lu Xinyi, whose face was contorted.
"These are the only things you can use to make fun of me," Shi Nian said.
"The loss of the Shi family has indeed made my path more difficult than before, but what my father left me is something you may never understand, and never will."
"Just like right now, standing here, your situation and mine are different, that's the difference."
Shi Nian was not angered by Lu Xinyi, and she spoke these words very calmly.
But Lu Xinyi felt that everything Shi Nian said was mocking her.
She said, "Shi Nian! You only won this time by luck, and you're already getting cocky."
Shi Nian smiled.
"Is that so?" Shi Nian said softly.
"Yes!" Lu Xinyi replied firmly.
“Okay, it was luck.” Shi Nian’s face was still smiling. “Then let’s see if I will have the same good luck next time.”
Lu Xinyi gritted her teeth and remained silent.
The two of them just stared at each other like that.
Finally, Lu Xinyi's phone rang; she had been out for quite some time.
Shi Nian glanced at Lu Xinyi's phone and said, "I'm leaving too."
She walked past Lu Xinyi toward the bathroom exit. Before leaving, she turned her back to Lu Xinyi and said, "Lu Xinyi, I've said before, there's no fundamental conflict between us. I'm not your enemy."
"It's just that you treat me as your enemy."
Shi Nian walked out into the corridor, leaving behind a final sentence: "Study some emotional management. When you calm down and look back at everything that has happened recently, you may have a different understanding."
After saying that, Shi Nian left, leaving behind Lu Xinyi's angry roars.
Lu Xinyi was absolutely furious.
Who does she think she is, daring to point fingers at her like that!
It was just a lucky win!
She refused to believe that Shi Nian could be so lucky every time!
Lu Xinyi gripped her phone tightly. This was City A, where the Lu family was the leader of the three major corporations, and when it came to technology, the Lu family was undoubtedly the best.
What's so special about Yu Yan!
Yi Shi was nothing at all!
Even though Gu Qian had already rejected her invitation, as long as the Lu family exerted pressure and set up obstacles, Yu Yan would still have to obediently listen.
Lu Xinyi thought that all anyone knew right now was the losses incurred by Lu Yanzhi's forced retreat; they knew nothing else.
Moreover, that was Lu Yanzhi's order, not Lu Xinyi's! And not many people knew that.
As long as she quietly sells some of her overseas assets and keeps it a secret, no one will know.
She hasn't lost yet!
Meanwhile, Shi Nian had already returned to the private room.
"Sorry, I was a little late," Shi Nian said to Li Tongruo. "I ran into Lu Xinyi in the restroom."
"Did she give you any trouble?" Li Tongruo asked.
Shi Nian shook her head.
“She’s in a bad mood,” Shi Nian said.
Li Tongruo glanced at Shi Nian with annoyance: "How could she be in a good mood if she saw you?"
Shi Nian was also amused.
“That’s true,” Shi Nian said with a smile.
The two chatted about other things, and soon the meal ended, with both preparing to leave.
When she was leaving, Huo Yanmo came to pick up Shi Nian.
The two of them sat together in the back seat and went back.
Shi Nian leaned back in her seat, watching the street scene rushing past outside, and she thought of her father again.
She recalled everything her father had taught her when he was still alive.
She learned less than a tenth of what her father had, yet it influenced her entire life.
She was still young then.
Both she and her father thought there was still a very, very long time to go.
But reality dealt them a heavy blow.
"Yanmo, I'd like to go to the cemetery," Shi Nian said.
"Okay." Huo Yanmo told the driver to turn around and drive towards the cemetery.
It was already dark.
Shi Nian went up first, while Huo Yanmo lagged behind. He knew that Shi Nian needed some time and space, so he went to buy the sacrificial items and stayed behind.
Shi Nian arrived at her father's grave.
She reached out and swept away the fallen leaves, her eyes slightly reddening as she looked at Shi Yichen's photo on the tombstone.
She has been here many times over the years.
Whenever she misses him, she always comes to visit.
Looking at her father's smiling face in the photo, it was as if he were smiling at her.
"Dad, if you were still here, I wonder what the situation would be like now," Shi Nian said softly.
"I've been thinking about a lot of things from the past lately," Shi Nian said with a smile, gently wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes. "Back then, I was still young and always felt that the workload you gave me was too heavy, but now..."
“I recently founded Yishi, and I want to revitalize the Shi family. Dad, you will protect me as before, right?”
The wind blew gently, ruffling Shi Nian's hair, just like Shi Yichen was gently stroking her head.
Shi Nian talked for a long time. Huo Yanmo had already bought the sacrificial items, but he didn't go up; he just waited on the side.
When he felt it was about time, Shi Nian also stood up, and then he came over with his things.
He handed the things in his hand to Shi Nian.
Without needing to say more, Shi Nian understood Huo Yanmo's meaning.
"Smack!"
Shi Nian lit the lighter and burned something for her father.
"By the way, Dad, as I told you before, Lu Yanzhi and I are divorced, and I have a new boyfriend now."
Shi Nian threw everything into the fire, stood up, and held Huo Yanmo's hand.
She looked at Shi Yichen's black and white photo and said, "This is Yan Mo, the one you know, Huo Yan Mo. Dad, we're getting married."
Huo Yanmo squeezed Shi Nian's hand back, looked at the tombstone and said, "Uncle, I will take good care of Shi Nian and find out the truth of what happened back then. Don't worry."
The two stood there, watching the flames slowly die down, before turning and walking in another direction.
They arrived at the graves of the two children Shi Nian had written for.
There are signs that someone has been here.
Shi Nian lowered her eyes slightly; she knew who it was.
She ignored him and took the paper money and various paper effigies that children would like from Huo Yanmo's hands, burning them together for the two children.
“This is Uncle Yanmo,” Shi Nian said softly.
Huo Yanmo also burned things.
"My name is Huo Yanmo. It's nice to meet you. Please take care of me," Huo Yanmo said softly.
They waited until the fire went out before they stood up.
Shi Nian gently stroked the two tombstones.
After a long while, she said to Huo Yanmo, "Let's go back."
Huo Yanmo nodded, took Shi Nian's hand, and the two left together.
Only after the two men left in their car did another car emerge from the shadows.
Lu Yanzhi sat in the back seat, watching the two leave, his eyes completely dark.
Zhou Zhiyu looked quietly at Lu Yanzhi in the back seat and sighed deeply.
The night was deep, and the wind rustled the leaves of the trees on both sides of the road.
The car was moving forward, and everyone was walking forward.
