Shu Ying took a deep breath and adjusted her emotions. She didn't want to always show her vulnerability in front of Xie Zhiyan.
“My parents-in-law organized this matter so suddenly that we weren’t really prepared. They’ve been trying to find someone to investigate it, but so far they haven’t found the missing evidence. Tomorrow I’ll talk to my superiors about getting involved. I’ll let you know as soon as there’s any progress.”
Xie Zhiyan considered everything thoroughly. He knew that Shu Ying's biggest worry right now was the accidental death of her parents.
Anyone would find it hard to let go of this, especially since Shu Ying grew up under the care of her parents and had a very good relationship with them. Now that she has this evidence, clearing the Shu family's name has become her lifelong obsession.
Shu Ying was moved and looked at Xie Zhiyan with red eyes. She raised her head, took one arm around his neck, and leaned against him, clearly regarding him as her support.
“I originally wanted you to do this, but I was worried that your work would be too busy and this would distract you, so I was too embarrassed to say it. After Mom and Dad come back and finish dealing with my sister’s family reunion, I plan to go home for a visit. After all, no one knows the situation in Shanghai better than me.”
There was still a family photo of them hanging in the old house. Shu Ying had always wanted to go back and see it, especially since the burial was rather hasty. She only glanced at the dilapidated corpses and didn't even look at their faces. After confirming the physical characteristics, she completely fainted. When she woke up again, the two of them had already been buried, and all that remained in front of her were two grave mounds.
"When my parents were passing away, the only thing they were worried about was me, their daughter. It's my fault for not being able to keep them worrying about me until the very end. I've been in Beijing for so long and haven't been able to go back to see them often, which has made me feel very guilty. Now that the truth has come out, I can take you to their graves to comfort their spirits in heaven."
Shu Ying's eyes were filled with sadness, as if she was once again immersed in the pain of losing her parents.
She remained silent, but images of her family's harmonious days kept replaying in her mind. Her parents, who had passed away recently, kept appearing in her dreams, as if they had never left.
A tear slid down Shu Ying's face, and she began to sob softly. Xie Zhiyan gently patted her arm with a tender touch, his words carrying a hint of comfort.
"This is my fault. If I had stayed by your side, those people wouldn't have had time to harm Mom and Dad. From now on, I will never miss any of your important events."
In just a few years, Shu Ying experienced marriage and childbirth, as well as the pain of losing her parents. She was such a delicate person, yet she was so resolute in upholding the honor and disgrace of her family.
Xie Zhiyan dared not think about what she had gone through alone in Shanghai, or what she was thinking when she brought her child to Beijing.
What if they hadn't been so lucky to meet? What if he had really died on the battlefield?
