Mu Qian thought many times about what would happen to Rong Qingzi after she knew the truth.
After talking to Rong Qingzi yesterday, the whole night she sat in her room, she thought about Rong Qingzi most of the time.
She thought that Rong Qingzi could finally let go of the knots she had held in her heart for so many years. She would no longer hate her father, and would no longer deliberately indulge and torture herself.
Maybe she will marry Jiang Taihe, and the two of them will be together happily from now on;
Or she will break up with Jiang Taihe peacefully and live a stable and happy life with her father's expectations for her.
But she never expected this ending——
Rong Qingzi is dead.
She dressed herself up in her most beautiful appearance and returned to Huai City, where she had lived with her favorite man for more than ten years.
She sat in front of Mu Huaian's tomb and fell asleep leaning against his tombstone.
She was sitting there, as beautiful as a painting.
Maybe people coming and going in the cemetery saw her, but no one knew that this woman who fell asleep with a smile on her face had swallowed a whole bottle of sleeping pills.
She ended her life in front of the man she loved most.
…
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Mu Qian boarded the plane to Huai City accompanied by Rong Heng.
At the same time, Huo Jinxi also boarded a plane to Huai City in a neighboring city.
However, due to flight delays, when Huo Jinxi arrived in Huai City, Mu Qian had already completed the corpse identification procedures and returned to the hotel accompanied by Rong Heng.
When Huo Jinxi arrived at the hotel, Rong Heng was waiting for him in the hotel lobby.
As soon as he saw Huo Jinxi entering the door, Rong Heng immediately came forward and said, "Second brother."
Huo Jin's western brows were stern, his eyes were deep, and his whole body had a cold aura that kept people away from thousands of miles away.
Rong Heng knew what kind of position Mu Qian held in his heart, and naturally also knew what Huo Jinxi's mentality was at this moment, but no matter what, he still had to tell him the current situation.
"I accompanied her to identify the body, and she was calm throughout the whole process. She didn't cry or shed any tears." Rong Heng said, "When we got back to the hotel, she even had something to eat with me."
"What now?" Huo Jinxi asked.
"She said she wanted to do some exercise." Rong Heng said, "I don't dare to stay with her all the time. She seems to just want to be alone."
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi walked directly towards the elevator.
The hotel's gym was on the 25th floor. Huo Jinxi went upstairs and walked around the gym, but did not see Mu Qian.
When he walked to the swimming pool, he saw a familiar figure in the water.
At this time, there were very few people in the swimming pool, and there were only three or five people in the water and on the shore. She was the only one who swam seriously in the water, going back and forth from one end to the other.
It wasn't until she clearly felt tired that Mu Qian finally surfaced from the water and lay on the shore to calm her breathing.
Suddenly, a pair of black leather shoes appeared in front of me. They were familiar Italian handicrafts. The leather was dull, low-key and noble.
Mu Qian slowly raised her eyes and saw Huo Jinxi who had taken off his coat and tie and was only wearing a white shirt.
He squatted on the shore, holding a bath towel and looking at her, "Have you swam enough?"
Mu Qian looked at him quietly for a moment, and then only said two words: "No."
After saying that, she slowly sank into the water, kicked off her legs and swam to the opposite side.
Huo Jinxi didn't stop her. Seeing that she refused to go ashore, he took two steps back, sat on a chair on the shore, and watched her swim quietly.
It wasn't until Mu Qian was completely exhausted and stopped moving after soaking in the water that Huo Jinxi stepped forward again and extended his hand to Mu Qian.
Mu Qian stared blankly at his hand in the water for a long time, then finally stretched out her hand to hold him and stepped ashore.
As soon as she landed, Huo Jinxi wrapped her in a soft and thick bath towel.
Mu Qian had been soaked in the water for a long time, and her whole body was cold. Wrapping it in a bath towel should have been very comfortable, but she didn't notice it. She just looked at Huo Jinxi's clothes and said, "I've made you wet."
"It's okay." Huo Jinxi did his best to wipe the water stains on her head without even looking at the wet areas on his body.
Mu Qian took a corner of the towel and gently wiped the wet areas on his body.
When Huo Jinxi finished wiping the water stains on her head and lowered his head, Mu Qian was still wiping the area on his shirt.
It was obvious that no matter how hard she wiped it, it would be impossible to dry it, but she just kept on wiping it stubbornly.
Huo Jinxi put down his hand and held her hand.
Mu Qian seemed to suddenly come to her senses and retracted her hand, "It's done."
She turned around to leave, but Huo Jinxi wrapped a towel around her to prevent her from leaving.
Mu Qian knew what he was thinking. After a moment of silence, she looked up at him and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Over the years, people around me have left one after another. I have long been used to it. I know what to do."
Adjust your emotions. I won't be sad for long. Give me a day or a night and I will get better. You don't have to worry about me."
Huo Jinxi looked at her quietly for a moment and then said slowly: "You don't need me, do you?"
His eyes were dark, which showed that this question was extremely serious.
Mu Qian brushed her hair and then said: "I won't sleep well at night, and I don't want to affect you..."
Huo Jinxi didn't seem to hear her answer, and just said, "If I say you will never lose me, do you want me?"
Mu Qian's thoughts were a little confused. When she heard this sentence, she suddenly chuckled, "I've already lost you once, haven't I?"
Huo Jinxi's hand movements paused for a moment.
Mu Qian suddenly realized what she had said, raised her eyes to look at him again, then stood up on tiptoes and hugged him, "That's not what I meant. I just want to be alone for a while. It's none of your business. This is
My own business..."
She hugged him hastily, took her hand back, and turned around again to leave.
This time, Huo Jinxi didn't stop her.
Mu Qian hurriedly took a few steps and suddenly heard Huo Jinxi's voice again——
"She wrote you a letter."
Mu Qian suddenly stopped and turned around stiffly.
…
Holding the letter from Rong Qingzi, Mu Qian returned to the room under Huo Jinxi's gaze.
At first she was able to remain calm, but the moment the door closed, she leaned against the door and opened the letter with trembling hands.
As soon as she saw the first sentence, Mu Qian's tears suddenly fell without any warning.
"Qianqian:
sorry.
After so many years, I finally apologize to you in this way.
Although this apology cannot make up for the pain I have caused you.
I have done too many wrong things in my life, many of which are irreparable, but I can still get your forgiveness. I am very lucky and ashamed.
I am not a good wife or a good mother, but you are the best daughter.
I remember when your father passed away, he told me to take good care of our daughter. He told you to stay with your mother.
I forgot his instructions, but you always remembered them.
Over the past ten years, I have given you nothing, but you have never given up on me.
Qianqian, your father will be proud of you.
And I keep letting him down.
Qianqian, I'm sorry. I wanted to hug you and say I'm sorry to you in person, but I couldn't do it.
I have been walking on the wrong road for too long. Now, I just want to go back to your father immediately.
Although I have done many wrong things, maybe he will be very angry, maybe he will not want to see me, but I know that he will eventually forgive me.
