Just as Ah Li was about to help Min Chuan up, Miao Lele arrived. She immediately hugged Min Chuan's waist and said, "Honey, you're drunk. Let me take you to rest."
This woman harbored great hostility towards her, which she thought she had hidden well, but Ahri still sensed it.
So, after the emcee finished speaking and the banquet began, Ah Li took a few bites and then went outside to the balcony to get some fresh air.
Miao Lele acted as if she had just seen Ali, and said apologetically, "Sister, Achuan is drunk, let me help him back first."
Ahri responded gently, "Okay."
“Sister.” Min Chuan didn’t notice anything amiss; he still wanted to talk to Ah Li.
Miao Lele, however, linked arms with Min Chuan and said, "By the way, sister, I'm pregnant, it's A-Chuan's."
Min Chuan's eyes widened instantly. He stared at Miao Lele in disbelief. "You're pregnant?!"
Miao Lele nestled shyly in Min Chuan's arms and said, "Yes, I was going to tell you secretly, but my sister isn't an outsider. When the baby in my belly is born, I'll have to call her aunt."
Min Chuan's expression was off; it was hard to tell if he was too happy or something else. He took several breaths to calm himself before saying, "You were drinking just now, and you were wearing high heels?"
"Fine, I just told you I'm pregnant, and you're already interfering with me again." Miao Lele raised her hand and lightly patted Min Chuan, then glanced at Ali as if casually.
Ahri looked back expressionlessly and said, "We should indeed be more careful."
"See, my sister said so too. Come on, let me help you back first. You've been standing all day, aren't you tired?"
As Min Chuan was speaking, he half-supported Miao Lele and was about to leave, but just as he was about to turn around, he said to Ali, "Sister, let me know when you're leaving."
“Okay.” Ah Li nodded, watching Min Chuan help Miao Lele leave together.
The distant clamor gradually subsided, and Min Chuan's mother, Madam Min, with her beautiful hair tied up, walked over gracefully and said, "Min Chuan's engagement to that person is largely thanks to you."
Ah Li smiled and replied, "Min Chuan is a good person. No one would be willing to give up happiness that is within their grasp, as well as the wealth of the Min family."
Miao Lele wants to enjoy being pursued in love because she feels loved and enjoys being chased in such a relationship. She is fearless because she has something to rely on.
In terms of family background, she wasn't Cinderella; in terms of appearance, she was quite beautiful; and in terms of intelligence, she was also quite capable.
However, Min Chuan has an Ah Li by his side.
Madam Min reached out and took Ah Li's hand. "I've always thought that if you could be with Ah Chuan..."
Ah Li shook her head, placed one hand on Madam Min's hand, interrupting her before she finished speaking, and said in a low voice: "To me, Min Chuan is a younger brother. I will protect him and help him. But if this feeling changes, I don't know how I will deal with myself."
"Alas," Madam Min sighed with some regret.
"Actually, you are not related by blood. If you want to be together, it's not impossible."
"aunt."
Ah Li whispered, "Regardless of blood relation, my identity will always be Min Chuan's sister. That will never change. Besides, Min Chuan's wife is pregnant now. Let's forget what we've said today and not bring it up again."
"Lele is pregnant?" Madam Min seemed to have just found out, then smiled and said, "It seems that she's just so-so in Min Chuan's heart."
Ah Li didn't laugh along; wasn't what Madam Min had just said a test?
At this moment, Madam Min turned to look at Ah Li and said, "It is a sad thing for a woman to try to tie a man down with a piece of flesh inside her belly."
Sometimes, children are completely unimportant to some people.
Madam Min is someone who has been through it all.
She was foolish at first, thinking that having Minchuan meant she could live a happy life with that man. But in the end, they still went their separate ways. Minchuan had always been with Ali since childhood, which is why he always liked Ali.
She had seen some things, and she knew that Ah Li also had feelings for Min Chuan, but she couldn't tell how much.
Similarly, she didn't want her son to follow in her footsteps and go mad for a hopeless love.
...
The following time felt like it was being fast-forwarded.
Min Chuan and Miao Lele's life, from engagement, childbirth, marriage, to their gray hair and the end of their lives.
Ahri witnessed them all and was never absent.
However, at the end of his life, Min Chuan let everyone leave, leaving only Ah Li behind.
"elder sister."
"Yes, I'm here."
Ah Li sat on the edge of Min Chuan's bed, holding Min Chuan's half-raised hand in one hand.
“I’m so happy that I’m going first. Sister, after I die, if you need anything, just call the younger generation. I’ve already told them everything. I know you like living a free and independent life, but I still worry about you, about whether you’re doing well out there.”
Min Chuan murmured softly, and finally his hand slowly fell to his sides.
Ahri reached out and grasped the ball of light that flew out from Min Chuan's forehead, then stood up and walked towards the door.
The younger generation rushed in, and soon a burst of crying could be heard.
Min Chuan left, he departed.
Miao Lele rushed to Ali, her eyes red from crying, and cried out, "Even at the very end, he only thought of you, Ali. Do you even have a heart? All these years, you didn't marry him, and he's still taking care of you. Don't you understand his heart?"
Ah Li didn't answer; how could she not understand?
Soon, Miao Lele was pulled away and started crying sadly.
Finally, Ahri personally carried Min Chuan's ashes and saw him off on his final journey.
Min Chuan said, "I've spent my whole life working hard to earn money so that my sister can live without worries and be free to go wherever she wants. So after I die, scatter my ashes in the sea, because my sister loves to look at the sea, and I love to look at my sister."
As Ali scattered Min Chuan's ashes into the sea, Miao Lele suddenly laughed, saying somewhat manicly, "Ali, actually I won, didn't I? I became Mrs. Min Chuan, I had children with him, and I even have his grandson. But you, you have nothing, you're all alone!"
Ah Li let Miao Lele cry and laugh as she shouted, ignoring the gazes of the younger generation.
From beginning to end, Ah Li never thought of competing with Miao Lele.
Min Chuan is gone, and his mission in this world is complete.
Holding the ball of light she had obtained from Min Chuan, Ah Li turned and returned to the thick fog in the dead of night.
The little dumpling had been waiting patiently, leaning hesitantly against the thick fog, sensing that Master Ali was unhappy.
After an unknown amount of time, the thick fog began to move.
Ahri reached out and caught a falling peach petal, asking, "Has the High God awakened?"
