The air was filled with the smell of summer, but it was daytime, yet the cemetery was so gloomy.
Du Anran's heart immediately became heavy. She held the bouquet of flowers and followed behind her mother.
There was no one in the entire cemetery, and it was gloomy. If she came at night, Du Anran would definitely be afraid, but it was daytime now, and her mother was with her, so she emboldened herself a little.
Every step they took would alert the birds on the trees. With a shake of the branches, the birds flew into the sky one after another.
Sadness flashed through Du Anran's heart. There was nothing to say in a thousand miles of lonely graves.
When they reached a spot, Bai Ruyun stopped. She lowered her head and quietly looked at the photo on the tombstone.
Du Anran also stopped. She saw the name of Xin Zimo's father, Xin Yonghang. There were some flowers and fruits in front of the tombstone. It seemed that someone had come.
Du anran placed the flowers in front of the tombstone and bowed respectfully.
She heard her mother say "I'm sorry" , and her heart was filled with bitterness.
"Mr. Xin, I'm sorry. It was Shihe who failed to supervise the project and caused the accident. " Bai Ruyun's voice was filled with guilt. She sincerely said "I'm sorry" .
Du Anran quietly stood to the side. She was just an ignorant little girl back then. She did not know anything. Later on, she paid a countless price. At this moment, her heart was unusually complicated.
She thought that the enmity between the two families should be over, but she did not expect that when mother Xin brought it up again, it would cause her mother to sink into endless self-blame.
The wind blew at Du Anran's hair, and she felt endless desolation.
"Mr. Xin, I hope that you can forgive the DU family. The Du family has paid a heavy price for their carelessness in the past. "ANRAN's father died a long time ago, and her uncle committed suicide last year. We have already borne too much of the burden. "perhaps it's too extravagant to beg for forgiveness, but I really hope that Anran can be happy in the future. "If you can forgive the DU family, please bless Anran to always be well, okay? "
Bai Ruyun's voice was very soft, but in this quiet place where there was no noise at all, du Anran clearly heard every word her mother said.
"Mom, it's no use saying this now. Mr. Xin won't hear it. It's the DU family's fault, we shouldn't have avoided it, " Du Anran said.
"But how can I get rid of the guilt in my heart? I'm not afraid of death, nor of revenge. I only hope that you can always be well, anran. You didn't do anything wrong. You were still a child at that time, you shouldn't have been involved. "
"Mom, I'm a part of the DU family. I'm inextricably linked to the world. I can't get away from it! " Du Anran said, "mom, it's okay. Mr. Xin won't blame us. Twenty years have passed. "
Du Anran knew that this was the only way she could comfort her mother. The guilt in her mother's heart could not be dispelled.
She knew that her mother had tried to forget about this matter, but with the arrival of Mother Xin today, it was obvious that it had triggered the guilt in her mother's heart.
"My father won't blame the DU family. "
A quiet voice suddenly came from the bushes behind her, low and slightly hoarse.
Du Anran was shocked, but she reacted a few seconds later. It was XIN ZIMO's voice!
Sure enough, he slowly walked out of the bushes and put out the cigarette in his hand. He walked to the front of Du Anran and Bai Ruyun. There was a complicated look in his eyes, but his gaze was very clear.
He was dressed in black, and in such an atmosphere, he gave off an increasingly depressing feeling.
For the first time ever, Du Anran did not talk back to him, nor did she take her words. She just lowered her head.
In the past, he always said that the Du family owed the Xin family, and it was only right for him to take away the peace of the world. He also deserved to destroy the DU family.
Now, when she and her mother came over, he simply said that his father would not blame the DU family.
Shouldn't he have roared at them and told them to get lost?
He must have completely let it go... ...
"Zimo, what a coincidence, you're here too. " Bai Ruyun felt a little awkward and said.
"Yes, I've been here since this morning and haven't left, " Xin Zimo said.
Du Anran smelled the faint smell of tobacco on his clothes. She knew that he must have been feeling bad. At that time, Xin Zimo was just a child, but he had to grow up quickly after experiencing all the blows.
"thank you for forgiving us, " Bai Ruyun said.
"What's the point of being persistent? If a person doesn't look forward, he will always drown in the past. He won't be happy. "
Xin Zimo kept looking at Du Anran as he spoke. He wanted to see something in Du Anran's eyes, but he didn't see anything.
In fact, what he meant was that if he had been wallowing in the past, how would he have discovered Du Anran's good side? How would he have fallen in love with her without hesitation.
He fell in love with her. It was a blessing from God. However, there were thousands of mountains and rivers between them. When he crossed them, would she still be waiting for him?
"Zimo, it's best that you think of it this way, " Bai Ruyun said.
The atmosphere around them was a little awkward. Bai Ruyun also knew about the relationship between Xin Zimo and Du Anran. The two of them had already broken up. It would be awkward to talk about this when they met again.
"Mom, Shaonan is still in the hospital. Let's go and see him again! " Du Anran suddenly said.
As soon as she spoke, Xin Zimo stared at her, which made du Anran's hair stand on end. Ever since they separated, she could no longer guess his thoughts. She did not even know what kind of life he had been living recently.
"Yes, I should go and visit Shaonan. " Bai Ruyun understood what Du Anran meant, so she continued.
Therefore, Du Anran and Bai Ruyun bowed to each other and planned to leave the cemetery. Du Anran also felt a little cold, afraid that staying here would not be good for the child.
Unexpectedly, Xin Zimo did not stop them. He only glanced at them and said, "I plan to go back too. Take my car? "
"No need to trouble yourself, Zimo. " Bai Ruyun spoke first. She knew that it would be difficult for Du Anran to speak. "there are many taxis at the entrance of the cemetery. "
"I'm afraid there aren't many at this hour! " Xin Zimo said lightly.
"Then we'll wait for the car to arrive, " Du Anran said.
"As you wish! " Xin Zimo was annoyed. He left these two words behind and walked straight to his car without looking back.
She was unwilling to accept his good intentions, both professionally and privately. He really couldn't stand it anymore. He was in such a hurry to cut all ties with him!
Xin Zimo drove his car and left the cemetery. A gust of dust drifted past, and Du Anran and her mother were still standing in place.
Du Anran had long known that the only characteristic of this man was that he was stingy. Sure enough, this problem was acting up again. Wasn't it just a simple rejection? was there a need to go to such lengths?
However, they had also experienced what it meant to not be able to hail a taxi. They stood outside for an hour without seeing a car.
Du Anran could not hold on any longer and was about to collapse onto the ground when a car came.
She brought her mother to the hospital to visit Jin Shaonan. Shaonan had already woken up, but it was inconvenient for him to move. He just lay on the bed and looked at them, unable to say much.
Du Anran's eyes became hot. Back when she was in the hospital, he had always thought of ways to accompany her, tell her jokes, and make her happy.
At that time, Jin Shaonan was so high-spirited, but now he had become like this. Du Anran could not help but feel sad.
But in front of Jin Shaonan, she still managed to squeeze out a smile. She wanted to be happy, and she would stay by his side every day until he was discharged from the hospital in good health.
"Anran, don't feel bad. I'm fine, right? It's just a minor surgery. I can get out of bed tomorrow! "
Jin Shaonan also saw the sadness in Du Anran's eyes. Instead, he smiled slightly.
That smile was still as bright as usual, like the spring breeze in March, always brushing away the haze in his heart.
"Why are you comforting me instead? " Du Anran was amused by his expression and couldn't help but laugh. "You'll definitely be fine. Anyway, I have a lot of free time. I'll definitely come over to accompany you every day for the next few days. Can I tell you a joke too? "
"Sure, you must make me laugh. " Jin Shaonan laughed. "But, if you come to accompany me every day, I'm afraid CHENJIN WILL BE UNHAPPY! "
"How would he dare to be unhappy? I'll get him to serve US tea and water! " Du Anran laughed.
Jin Shaonan only found out after he returned to the country that Du Anran and Xie Chenjin had gotten together. He felt that it was quite good as long as she was happy.
He had finally figured it out. No matter who she would stay by her side in the future, as long as she could live a happy life, he would be satisfied.
Because, no matter who she followed, it would be better than following him.
"You're using young master Xie as a servant girl. Be careful that he doesn't take revenge on you! "
"He wouldn't dare. " Du Anran smiled.
They chatted for the whole afternoon. Most of the time, du Anran was the one talking while Jin Shaonan was listening. Jin Shaonan would sometimes close his eyes. He felt very relieved listening to her voice.
At night, Bai Ruyun made Jin Shaonan a light porridge. She also knew that the Jin family had been disbanded, and there was no one to take care of Jin Shaonan anymore.
She felt sorry for this child, but why was it that good people were not rewarded well... ...
Thinking back to the time when Mayor Jin took care of them, the scenes of the past seemed to still be in front of them. In the blink of an eye, they had become what they were now.
Du Anran did not know whether it was because she was too tired or because she had suffered from the cold. The next morning, before dawn, du Anran's stomach suddenly began to hurt.
She held her stomach and struggled to turn on the wall lamp by the bedside.
She had wanted to endure it for a while, but she did not expect that the pain would get worse after she sat up and endured it for a while.
She was in so much pain that her head was covered in sweat. She gritted her teeth but did not dare to call her mother over. She grabbed the quilt and was in so much pain that her entire body arched.
These days, she was too irresponsible to this child. She ran around and went to all sorts of places that she should not have gone to. Coupled with lack of sleep, exhausted, she did not do a mother's due responsibility.
