"Can't you be more obedient?" Li He was annoyed. He liked his daughter's liveliness but if she didn't control herself, it would be annoying.
"Do you not like me anymore?" Li Yi asked, feeling wronged.
"Yes, I like you so much! Be quiet and let me sleep. "Li He pulled her down from the sofa and stopped her from messing around.
He Fang said, "If you really can't do it, you can go in and sleep."
"You should control her too." Li He had no choice but to get up and go back to the house. To be safe, he even locked the door from the inside.
When he woke up, he saw Li Kuo and Li Yan sitting in the living room. He greeted them and asked Li Kuo, "Have you chosen the location?"
Li Kuo said, "It's on Fuchengmen Street. The renovations are almost done and we'll open soon."
Li He hugged the teapot and sat down. He encouraged her, "Then work hard and keep your temper in check. When you get back, your dad will ask you about it. I'll tell him that you're doing well and that they'll come over when they're free. You should show them some results and don't let them worry."
"My dad is coming?" Li Yan said in surprise, "I called them yesterday but I didn't hear them say anything."
Li He said, "He probably won't come this month but he'll definitely come next month. He said that he's going to meet his in-laws."
He looked up and asked Li Kuo, "What did father-in-law say when you met him?"
Li Kuo said, "Although he doesn't like me, he didn't object. He just wants us to be together."
Li He smiled and asked, "What do you mean by 'you don't like me'?"
Li Yan smiled and said, "Who would be happy if their cabbage was eaten by a pig?"
"Who's the pig?" Li Kuo said proudly, "I'm a potential stock after all."
Li Yan said impatiently, "Stop panting and do your best. I'm helping you so much. Don't let me down."
"Brother, don't worry. I'll definitely work hard," Li Kuo patted his chest and said to Li He, "If I don't do well, I'll embarrass you."
Li He said, "What are you promising me? It's your own business whether you do well or badly. You just have to be responsible for yourself."
That was all he had to say.
In the middle of the night, the phone at home rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Meng Jianguo. He was curious about what urgent matter Meng Jianguo could have in the middle of the night to make a call at this time. However, after he heard Meng Jianguo's words, he was so shocked that the phone fell from his hand.
"What happened?" He Fang noticed Li He's abnormality.
Li He picked up the phone and said, "Elder Meng, I got it. I'll get the visa tomorrow. Let's go together."
After hanging up, he said to He Fang, "Old Mu committed suicide."
"Your colleague? Mu Yan or something? "
"It's him." Li He closed his eyes in pain. He had never expected that Mu Yan would commit suicide.
"I remember he seems to have emigrated, right?"
"I immigrated to Australia two years ago. How did this happen?" Li He felt a pang in his heart. "Sigh, he actually made such a mistake."
He couldn't fall asleep at all. He went downstairs to find a pack of cigarettes and smoked in silence.
In the morning, He Fang saw that she was not in good spirits, so she didn't ask her to send the children to school. Instead, she drove them herself.
On the other side, Li He waited for Qi Hua to get the visa. On the third day, he boarded the plane to Canberra.
Whether it was in his previous life or this life, it was his first time in Australia. He was not in the mood to see the scenery or the architecture. As soon as he arrived in Canberra, he took a flight to Sydney, where Mu Yan lived.
"Xiao Li, you're here. I'm sorry to trouble you to come all the way here." It was Yang Ling who opened the door. Her eyes were sunken, and she looked very haggard.
There were a few other people in the room, including foreigners and Chinese. When they saw Li He and Meng Jianguo, they nodded as a greeting.
"Are you alright?" Li He regretted asking this question. He felt that it was too stupid.
"Have a seat." Yang Ling tried her best to control her emotions and poured a cup of tea for Li He and the others.
"Hello, I'm Mu Yan's old colleague." Li He reached out his hand to a middle-aged man sitting on his left. "My name is Li He."
"Hello, you can call me Nicole. I'm his old classmate. I encouraged him to come to Australia, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this. It's very sudden, too sudden. " The middle-aged man who called herself Nicole put down his hand and said, "He took an overdose of sleeping pills. He couldn't be saved when he was sent to the hospital."
"Were there any signs before he committed suicide?" Meng Jianguo asked.
Nicole spread out her hands. "No. The day before he committed suicide, we went to the beach together for a barbecue. We were talking and laughing. There was nothing unusual."
Li He guessed that he wouldn't be able to get any information from him. However, seeing Yang Ling like this, he didn't want to press her.
That night, the group stayed in a hotel. The next morning, they took a bus to the church where the funeral was held.
Mu Yan's funeral was held according to Australia's local customs. It was held in the church first, and the pastor would host the memorial service before they went to the cemetery together.
Li He wanted to cry, but he couldn't. He would never have thought that Mu Yan would end his life in a foreign country.
Mu Yan's house was bought. It was a three-story building, which was considered a commoner's house. Li He was bored. He walked around the house. It was too depressing.
"Eat something, even if it's just porridge." Meng Jianguo comforted Yang Ling.
"Thank you, I'm fine." Yang Ling forced a smile.
Li He said, "You have to be strong for your child."
Mu Yan's son was already in his teens. Yang Ling didn't eat anything, so he didn't eat much either.
"How could he be so cruel?" Yang Ling couldn't help crying again. "I told you that he became stupid from studying too much."
She went into the study room and took out a diary from the drawer. "Take a look."
Li He took it and flipped through two pages. His eyes were fixed on the last page.
He has been suffering from depression for the past two years. If he can't take it anymore, he will die. There is no important reason. Don't mind me leaving.
Li He's tears flowed down when he saw this line.
He didn't know that Mu Yan had depression.
He flipped through the diary from the beginning to the end. It was about Mu Yan's mental journey for the past two years. He realized that Mu Yan was really suffering.
He finally understood why Mu Yan came to Australia when his career was at its peak. It turned out that he was running away.
He passed the diary to Meng Jianguo and asked Yang Ling, "Do you have any plans? Are you going back to China or staying here? Don't worry. No matter what you choose, I will arrange it for you. Mu Yan still has shares in the company. You and your child have the right to inherit the company. Don't worry about your life. "
Yang Ling said, "I was only willing to come with him because he came. Now that he's gone, it's meaningless for me to stay here alone. I don't even understand what he's saying. "
