Jiang City seemed to take special care of her today. It was already the time of heavy traffic in the evening, but the sky was still bright.
The horizon was still faintly suffused with the light red color of fish belly.
The road in the city center was very congested, but the road Jiang Yansheng drove to the suburbs was relatively smooth.
After saying goodbye to the security guard in the cemetery, she went straight into the park and found her mother's tombstone.
In the year her mother died, she thought that everything was because of her, so she didn't even dare to go to the day of the cremation and didn't attend the funeral.
She didn't dare to look at the smiling black-and-white photo of her mother hanging in the middle.
She was ashamed and blamed herself.
But more than that, she regretted it.
But now it seemed that all the negative emotions at that time were simply ridiculous. She didn't know that she was fooled by others. She was simply the stupidest person in the world!
Her fingertips gently stroked the red words on the tombstone.
She had asked someone to draw the words "Fang Manhan" many times.
Every time the dust fell, she would draw it again. She was afraid that one day when the words were smooth, her mother's soul in heaven would never come to see her again.
"Mom, I'm here to see you." Jiang Yansheng knelt down in front of the tombstone. The coldness of the marble penetrated through her knees, and the piercing pain was not as painful as the scar in her heart. She wiped her face with the back of her hand and tried to show a pale smile. "Today is not a special day."
"I just suddenly missed you."
Her eyes were a little dazed as she looked at the tombstone that was half the height of a person.
People were so complicated and simple.
A small palm-sized photo on the tombstone and the words engraved on the tombstone summed up a person's life.
Jiang Yansheng's eyelashes fluttered and tears slid down her cheeks like pearls from a broken necklace. With reddened eyes, she said, "Mom, I really thought I was the one who killed you, but now I've found out that it wasn't me … I didn't attend your funeral that year and I didn't accompany you at the beginning. Please don't blame me, I'm blaming myself … I didn't dare to come see you … I was afraid every day. I didn't even dare to dream, afraid that you would blame me in your dreams …"
She laughed at herself. "But you didn't even give me a dream …"
She missed her mother every day after she left.
But she felt that she had no right to miss him.
Day after day of struggle.
Deep in the mire.
Her fingertips caressed the cold stone tablet over and over again as she murmured softly, "I know why you don't want to see me anymore. Do you think I was too stupid back then? I've found the person who deserves to die, and I know who the culprit is. "
"All the grudges of the past, including your share, I will slowly repay them."
Jiang Yansheng was the only one kneeling in the empty park. The air was filled with white mist, and it didn't take long for a storm to begin.
The pitter-patter of the rain fell on his body, but Jiang Yansheng's heart didn't feel it at all. It was throbbing in pain.
No one responded to her, but she became more and more sad. She cried until she was out of breath, and her voice was trembling. "If I had known earlier, if I could have found the chronic poison earlier, if we weren't hospitalized in Renze, would you not have left me?"
"All these years, it's been really hard for me …" Jiang Yansheng cried quietly. Her eyes were a little swollen, so she simply closed her eyes and let the overwhelming rain pour down from the top of her head. It was as if crying loudly in such a rain would not be seen by others.
"I don't know if every step I take is right or wrong, and I don't know everyone I meet. I miss the afternoon when you opened your arms and hugged me. It seemed that I didn't have to worry about anything because I had you by my side … "Jiang Yansheng's hair was wet and stuck to her forehead. She smiled with difficulty." This is also good. I finally have a reason to see you in the future. "
Previously, every time they visited the grave, they would sneakily come to send flowers. Everyone in the family believed that she killed her mother. They pointed at her behind her back and said dirty words, but they never said it in front of her.
After five years, she finally hugged her mother again.
Only this time, she hugged the tombstone.
But in the photo, her mother's smile was still bright and warm.
Jiang Yansheng muttered incoherently, "I found the answer. I also know who it is. Will you come to my dream again …"
"Even if it's just once …"
…
When she walked out of the park with her body wet, the guard at the door who was eating melon seeds and watching TV with his legs crossed was shocked.
Because it was a working day and there were very few people in the park, he had a deep impression of Jiang Yansheng.
"Little girl, why did you come out so late? I thought you left! "The guard stood up." Why are you so wet? Didn't you bring an umbrella? "
"I have one here. Take it quickly and go home to take a hot shower." The guard's warm words brought Jiang Yansheng back to reality.
She wanted to refuse. "It's okay. I don't need it."
The heavy rain came in time. She couldn't hide and didn't want to. She could think a lot of things through being drenched.
"Why don't you need it?" Baowei was a warm-hearted person. Seeing Jiang Yansheng's expression, he thought he had just lost a family member and couldn't help but take things too hard. He even comforted him earnestly, "Although they're no longer around, you still have to take care of your health. Only when you live well will the deceased be comforted in heaven. Don't you agree?"
"The deceased are gone. You must live a good life."
He pushed the umbrella into Jiang Yansheng's arms. "At least don't let yourself catch a cold."
Jiang Yansheng was stunned. She grabbed the black umbrella in her hand and said, "Thank you."
…
The location of the park was very remote. She drove for a long time before returning to the city center.
She didn't want to go home, and she didn't want Yu Zhouzhou to see her in such a mess.
Yu Zhouzhou had been frustrated in love before and had been depressed for a long time like her. He had almost been unable to recover from the setback. These two days, he had finally become a little more cheerful. He would definitely nag at her when he went back.
The steering wheel seemed to have a mind of its own.
When Jiang Yansheng came to her senses, she had inexplicably driven to the bottom of the Gu clan's building.
She had only heard of the prosperity of the Gu clan before and knew the address of the Gu clan, but she had never been here alone.
The building towered into the clouds and was decorated with high-end decorations. At a glance, even the security guards in the hall stood straight.
Jiang Yansheng didn't stop the car at the entrance. After waiting for a while, she slowly got out of the car. She took the black umbrella given by the security guards, but she didn't open it.
In fact, even she didn't know why she drove here.
Maybe in her heart, she had subconsciously ranked Gu Yan as the second most important person after her mother.
The second person she could rely on.
Jiang Yansheng self-mockingly touched the position of her heart, where it was beating vigorously again and again.
It turned out that Gu Yan's sweet words were really effective.
This person said to her that he loved her, liked her, and would never leave her.
She thought that she had gone far away, but she would still come back to find the person who had given up the promise.
She lowered her head and swiped Gu Yan's phone. The raindrops fell on the screen. Before she had time to press the button, the phone shook and directly dialed.
It only rang once, and the other end answered.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Yansheng pressed the earphones hard against her ears, so that the voice was closer to her.
She looked up and struggled to look at the top floor of the Gu clan's building. If she guessed correctly, Gu Yan should be there.
Her throat seemed to be blocked by a ball of dry cotton. Jiang Yansheng gently pinched it and said in a hoarse voice, "Are you at the company? I'm downstairs. "
"Why are you here?" Gu Yan was obviously a little surprised. He heard that Jiang Yansheng's voice was a little bad, so he quickly asked, "Do you have a cold? Did the security downstairs stop you from coming in? Just stand there and don't move. I'll come to you right away. "
In fact, she didn't even go into the hall, nor did she expect that Gu Yan's call would go through. She also didn't expect that Gu Yan would directly come down to look for her after she said that she was already there.
Jiang Yansheng's fingers that were holding the phone were cold. She looked down at her toes and smiled.
"Okay."
She didn't move and just stood there waiting for Gu Yan.
Subconsciously, she still didn't want Gu Yan to see her in such a sorry state.
Her eyes were swollen like walnuts, her makeup was ruined, and her clothes and hair were all wet. Those who didn't know better would think that she had just been fished out of the water.
Men liked pretty faces.
People like her were not likeable.
The rain lessened a little and fell gently on her body. Jiang Yansheng looked at the clean hall full of security guards, wanting to see Gu Yan come out.
However, her head was getting dizzier. She felt as if she was stepping on cotton candy, and she couldn't help but fall backward.
She squinted her eyes slightly and held the hood of the car behind her with one hand. It took her a lot of effort to stabilize her swaying body.
She looked at the entrance again. It was still clean and there was no one coming in or out.
It had only been a few minutes, but it felt like a hundred years.
Jiang Yansheng cursed in her heart. Weren't Gu Yan's legs very long? Why did it take so long to walk down a few dozen floors?
She looked at the ground and the door as if she was playing a game with herself. When she looked up again, her vision was a little blurry, and she saw a familiar figure at the door.
The man saw her. He was holding an umbrella, and his expression was a little dark.
Jiang Yansheng smiled slightly. She wanted to take a step in the man's direction, but her legs were as heavy as lead.
His foot missed, and his entire body fell forward.
There was a small puddle of water on the ground.
Jiang Yansheng subconsciously reached out to stabilize herself, but her limbs were weak and she couldn't exert any strength. Her mind was also blank. She simply closed her eyes and collapsed in despair.
She heard the pitter-patter of the rain.
Amidst the sound of the rain, there was a crisp sound of an umbrella hitting the ground.
Then, she completely fell into a warm embrace.
The man's helpless voice was fatal.
