So Lonely
This place was chosen by Old Master Qin himself. It was said that the Fengshui location was excellent. It was said that it could protect his children and that the dead could be blessed in their next life. This was the last compensation Old Master Qin gave to his poor daughter-in-law. After all, Old Master Qin really let his daughter-in-law down, as well as everyone in the Zhu Family. Therefore, from then on, Old Master Qin no longer had any contact with the Zhu Family.
Old Master Qin was definitely an expert in this aspect. After all, he had personally selected the burial grounds and ancestral tombs of some important figures. He had also personally checked the location of some special places. It was precisely because of these abilities that Old Master Qin had accumulated a lot of resources for the Qin Family.
Old Master Qin chose this place not only for his daughter-in-law but also for his son, Qin Changan. If the Qin Family was willing, their ancestral graves could be placed here in the future.
At that time, this place was very desolate. After all, it was in the 1990s, when Beijing was not so prosperous. Old Master Qin used his savings to buy this mountain. Now this place had been developed. The price of this mountain was amazing. However, no one could buy it from the Qin Family, because the Qin Family was not short of money.
After Qin Changan stopped at the door, he said this without any warning. Maybe he said it because of his feelings, or he already had a bad premonition. Of course, this was the worst result. If that was really the case, he would definitely not be able to see his beloved wife for a period of time. This period of time might be three to five years, or it might be ten to twenty years. Qin Changan was already so old, and he might not be able to hold on until then.
However, Qin Changan did not think it was a big deal. After all, he would also be buried here in the future. At that time, he would be able to accompany his beloved wife, and she would not be so lonely anymore. And he could also make up for the lost time in these years, and he would not only see her in photos but also in dreams every time.
In life, there were gains and losses. You would never know what kind of magnificent world a person's heart was on earth. In the eyes of outsiders, it could be said that Qin Changan had reached the peak of his life. He was so rich that he could wave his check and buy things all over the world crazily. He could even become a distinguished guest of many heads of state.
However, he would never be able to see the woman he had loved for so many years again. Everything he had could not be exchanged for her life. If God could give him a choice, he would be willing to give up all the property he had accumulated over the years in exchange for her life. He only wanted to see her again.
Therefore, no one knew whether Qin Changan had been happy or not these years. What they saw was only the Qin Changan they wanted to see. Who knew the real Qin Changan?
The bodyguards of the Qin Family had already entered the cemetery to check the surroundings. After confirming that there was no problem, they signaled to Qin Changan that he could continue to walk. Today, Zhuang Zhou and Nangong were not here. They both had their own things to do.
Qin Changan and Gongsun walked in the front, while Qin Ran and Qin Jing walked behind them. They were holding flowers, fruits, and other offerings in their hands. The cemetery was lush and green, and there were all kinds of flowers blooming everywhere. These flowers were all selected by Qin Changan from all over the world. There was a special team that would regularly renew the flowers here and maintain the environment here. This was the benefit of being rich.
At first, people who did not know about this place would think that it was a holiday villa. Later, they found out that it was the burial place of a big shot's wife. Because all kinds of luxurious cars could be seen coming to pay their respects, and many times the surroundings were directly under curfew.
Walking in the cemetery, people felt like they had entered a huge botanical garden. With all kinds of birds chirping, it was more like a paradise. And Qin Changan was more familiar with the bluestone road up the mountain than anyone else. He had personally helped to pave it.
Along the way, people stopped talking. Lao Guo, who was guarding the mausoleum, stood at the foot of the mountain and watched the people of the Qin Family go up. In fact, the mountain was not very high. It was just a big mound of earth.
After a while, Qin Changan led the people to the grave of his beloved wife. Gongsun helped Qin Ran and Qin Jing to place the offerings. Standing there, Qin Changan looked at his beloved wife in the photo with mixed feelings. It was like this every time, and every time it was different.
The process of paying respects was simple and not complicated. Qin Changan just stood there and let others do whatever they wanted. Qin Ran and Qin Jing kowtowed and knelt. Qin Ran could not help but say, "Mom, Ran Ran is here to see you. Do you miss Ran Ran?"
Qin Jing's eyes were red. Although she did not have any contact with her stepmother, they seemed to be familiar with each other. Last time when she accompanied her mother to pay respects, Qin Jing could not help but cry. Maybe her mother's words were too sad at that time.
This time, hearing her sister's words, Qin Jing could not help but secretly wipe her tears. She felt sorry for her sister. She had a mother, but her sister had been separated from her mother since she was a child. She had never felt a mother's love. This kind of feeling was only clear in their hearts. It was just like she had never felt a father's love.
After paying respects, Qin Changan was obviously not in a hurry to leave. This time, he wanted to stay a little longer. He said to Qin Ran, "Ran Ran, take Yaya around first. I will chat with your mother for a while."
Qin Ran nodded sensibly and left in front of her mother's grave with Qin Jing. Although she also wanted to talk with her mother, she still gave some time to the old man.
After Qin Ran and Qin Jing left, Qin Changan said to Gongsun, "You can leave too. I will stay alone for a while."
Gongsun nodded thoughtfully. He immediately arranged for the bodyguards of the Qin Family to leave. However, they still protected Qin Changan within a reasonable range.
After everyone left, Qin Changan sat directly in front of his beloved wife's tombstone with his legs crossed. He looked at the photo with a smile. She was still so beautiful in the photo. It seemed that she had never aged over these years and had always lived at that age.
As for him, he was really old.
The sunlight shone on Qin Changan through the gaps of the leaves. The flowers and grass around him made people feel like they were in a fairyland. Qin Changan showed everyone an old back. His white hair was so dazzling. He looked at his wife who had passed away for many years in silence. In the end, he could not help but touch her photo with trembling hands.
At this moment, Qin Changan was so lonely.
After a long time, Qin Changan finally sat on the ground again. He smiled and said, "Qinghuan, this may really be the last time I come to see you. Don't blame me in the future. But Ran Ran and Sheng 'er are here. They can come to see you for me in the future. This is the last thing I can do."
"The thing that I am most proud of in my life is not that I am a descendant of the Qin Family, nor is it that I have worked hard to build this family business, nor is it my status and wealth. It is that I have met you, which is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me. But the person I owe the most is also you. You married me when I had achieved nothing. You gave birth to Ran Ran and Sheng 'er for me. You gave your life to me, but I have no chance to repay you. "Qin Changan said somewhat sadly. He could not repay her, and he had no chance to do so. This was his biggest regret.
Qin Changan looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh. It was hard for him to vent the pressure during this period. However, it seemed that only when he was with his wife could he calm down a little bit.
"Alas, I don't owe many people in my life. The one I owe the most is you. Fortunately, I raised Ran Ran, and now Sheng 'er is back. Otherwise, I would be too ashamed to see you." It was rare for Qin Changan to have so much to say. He continued to complain like an old man, "There is one more thing. Don't blame me. I may not be able to fulfill my responsibility as a father in the future. They can only depend on each other in the future. I may not see the day when Ran Ran gets married, and I may not see the day when Sheng' er gets married. This will be my regret in the end. I know it is also your regret. We are sorry for these two children."
"I don't want to talk about Ran Ran. She is just a girl. She only needs to live happily in this life. After all, your family will take care of her. Sheng 'er is different. He is a man and also a descendant of the Qin Family. He must be strong so that he can protect the people who should be protected. He may be very tired, suffer a lot, and suffer a lot of grievances, but this is also his responsibility. So I hope you don't blame me for the arrangement I made for Sheng' er. "Qin Changan said meaningfully. In fact, this had become the biggest barrier between him and the Zhu Family. After all, he already knew Qin Sheng's choice.
Qin Changan continued to nag like this, as if he had endless things to say. It seemed that he wanted to say all the things in the future today. Time passed bit by bit, but Qin Changan did not feel it at all.
Qin Ran took Qin Jing to wander in the cemetery casually. After all, the environment here was really beautiful, and there were many precious flowers and plants. Qin Jing had not seen them when she came here last time.
However, Qin Jing's mind was not here. She frowned and said, "Sister, when will my brother come back? I miss him."
Qin Jing did not miss her mother. After all, she would video chat with her mother every day. But she missed her brother. She often sent messages and called him, but could not find him. She did not know how busy he was. This was also her biggest dissatisfaction with her brother. She would scold him the next time he came back.
Qin Ran said casually, "He'll be back when he's done with the business in Shanghai. If you miss him, you can go to Shanghai to see him on the weekend." Ever since this girl came back, she had been sticking to them. Previously, when they were not at home, this girl had been calling her a lot.
Qin Jing nodded silently. She had made up her mind to secretly go to Shanghai to see her brother. Then she said, "Sister, I feel that Uncle is very tired. I saw him dozing off on the sofa several times. What do you think we can do to make him happy?"
"Little girl, you don't need to think about these things. As long as we are with him, he will be very happy." Qin Ran touched Yaya's head and said with a smile. She did not want Yaya to get involved in those things. She wanted her to grow up carefreely. She and Qin Sheng would be in front of her.
After about an hour, Qin Changan came down from the mountain. Qin Ran and Qin Jing were already waiting at the gate, chatting with Lao Guo.
After Qin Changan came down, he said, "Sorry to keep you waiting. We can go back now."
After that, Qin Changan said to Lao Guo, "Lao Guo, let's go. Take care of yourself. If you can't bear it, tell Gongsun. Don't be too tired."
"It's okay. I'm fine." Lao Guo replied with a smile.
They followed Qin Changan to get in the car. Soon, the three cars left the cemetery and went directly to the siheyuan of the Qin Family.
Two hours later, when Qin Changan returned to the siheyuan of the Qin Family, he found that there were guests at home. It seemed that Nangong had brought them back. He could not help frowning.
