After having lunch and taking a short nap, Xu Chenghuai prepared to go to Zhang Guoping's funeral home to express his condolences.
Mu Qian naturally wanted to go out with him, but in this case, Lu Yuan seemed a little embarrassed to stay here, so she also prepared to leave."
"You are unfamiliar with the place in Huai City, where can you go alone?" Mu Qian couldn't help but ask before going out.
"There are so many scenic spots here, and I am such a big person, are you still worried that I will get lost?" Lu Yuan said.
At this time, Rong Heng just changed his clothes and went downstairs, looking like he was ready to go out. Lin Ruosu saw it and couldn't help but laugh, "Xiao Heng is going out too, so let him take you out for a walk."
Rong Heng was stunned when he heard this. Lu Yuan was about to refuse, but Mu Qian said first: "That's fine, Rong Heng, I'll leave Yuanyuan to you! I'll come back to you later!"
Rong Heng couldn't help but wanted to reach out and grab her and tell her that he was going out to do something, but Mu Qian had already turned around and ran to Xu Chenghuai's car outside the door and quickly got into the car.
Seeing this situation, Lu Yuan said nothing more and just said to Rong Heng: "Take me out and drop me off nearby. I'll go and wander around as I please."
Rong Heng responded, took the car keys and walked out.
Lu Yuan then said goodbye to Lin Ruosu, turned around and got into Rong Heng's car.
Rong Heng's car drove out of the small courtyard and drove through two streets. In front of him was a wide avenue. The tall street trees beside the road blocked the sky and the sun. There were few vehicles and pedestrians. It was a rare quiet place in Huai City.
"Put me down here." Lu Yuan said, "I'll take a walk around here, so I won't delay you."
Rong Heng glanced at the road ahead and said calmly: "There is nothing to visit around here."
Lu Yan opened the map and said, "I can just walk around casually. I don't have to go to a crowded place."
After hearing this, Rong Heng was about to say something when his cell phone suddenly rang.
He glanced at the caller ID and answered the phone.
"Rong Heng, didn't you say you want to come over to check some information? When will you arrive?" The voice of the person on the other end of the phone came through the car's Bluetooth, "I have to take people out to investigate the case, so hurry up!
"
"I know." Rong Heng replied, "We'll be there in twenty minutes."
After hanging up the phone, Rong Heng glanced at Lu Yuan from the corner of his eye and slowly pulled the car over to a stop.
Lu Yan unbuckled his seat belt, said "thank you" to him, then opened the door and got out of the car.
Rong Heng started again and saw Lu Yuan's back to him in the rearview mirror, walking away.
Rong Heng suddenly withdrew his gaze and just stared at the road ahead with a heavy gaze.
When Lu Yuan faced him, he did have a good sense of proportion.
She knew that they took different paths, so no matter how many arrangements and coincidences there were, her attitude never changed.
He and she really shouldn't get too close.
Thinking of this, Rong Heng stopped staying and quickly drove away from here.
…
When Mu Qian followed Xu Chenghuai to Zhang Guoping's funeral, the mourning hall was solemn and solemn, and everyone who came to express condolences had sad eyes.
Naturally, a great doctor like Zhang Guoping has cured countless patients and brought out countless students. As a professor-level figure, his status is naturally high and respected.
Mu Qian's eyes swept across the mourning hall, and when they landed on Zhang Guoping's portrait with a warm smile, there was no trace of confusion in his eyes.
Just as Rong Heng said, she foresaw Zhang Guoping's death, but did not do anything. She just waited quietly for that moment to arrive.
From Rong Heng's point of view, this is something he cannot tolerate.
But Rong Heng only looked at this matter from his professional perspective.
From her perspective, this is how the matter should develop.
Even now, when the room is full of sorrow, she only feels unwilling and angry.
People who have done something wrong should pay the corresponding price, right?
Because Zhang Guoping was Xu Chenghuai's close friend and old friend, Xu Chenghuai had no reason to leave in a hurry, but Mu Qian did not intend to stay longer. After staying for a while, she made excuses to leave first.
After leaving the mourning hall, Mu Qian bought a bouquet of flowers at the door, got in the car, and headed to another cemetery in Huai City.
In this cemetery, Mu Huaian and Rong Qingzi sleep.
Mu Qian walked to the tombs of the two people, looked at the two names closely linked on the tombstones, and remained silent for a long time.
After coming back to her senses, she finally squatted down, placed the flowers in front of the tomb, picked up the fallen leaves next to the tombstone one by one, and held them in the palm of her hand, but then she stopped moving.
She squatted quietly in front of the tomb for a long time before finally calling out in a low voice: "Dad..."
She originally wanted to ask him——
Do you still want me?
She is a daughter who is not a daughter, she is the daughter who brings him the greatest misfortune...Does he still want her?
But this sentence was stuck in her throat and she couldn't say it no matter what.
She just looked at Mu Huaian's name on the tombstone quietly, and after a long time, she laughed softly.
How could he not want her?
No one knows him better and believes in him more than she does.
No matter what, he is the father who will never give up on her.
And she will also not give up on him.
Mu Qian slowly raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eyes, still looking at the two names next to each other quietly, without moving for a long time.
Until, suddenly, there was a strange yet familiar footsteps behind her.
Mu Qian suddenly turned around.
Lu Yuchuan stood behind her, also holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
The moment she saw him, Mu Qian's eyes suddenly darkened, she stood up slowly, confronted him, and asked coldly: "What are you doing here?"
Lu Yuchuan's eyes fell on her face and he slowly said, "You asked me that day whether I felt remorse or guilt for the things I did wrong. I think my answer was too selfish."
As Lu Yuchuan spoke, he walked around Mu Qian and placed the bouquet in his hand in front of the tombs of Mu Huaian and Rong Qingzi.
"No matter what, I should always think from your perspective." Lu Yuchuan said, "After all, you are the one who has lost the most."
Mu Qian laughed out loud, "It's rare that Mr. Lu has such a sentiment. Should I be grateful?"
Lu Yuchuan turned towards her, walked slowly in front of her, and then spoke again: "I made a wrong decision before, you should always give me a chance to make up for it, right?"
Mu Qian suddenly raised her eyes to look at him and said word by word: "It's not that easy."
However, Lu Yuchuan was not angry. He raised his hand to adjust his glasses and said, "It doesn't matter. I can wait slowly."
After hearing this, Mu Qian turned around and left.
However, just after taking a few steps, her feet suddenly stumbled.
Mu Qian paused, pulled up her skirt and saw that her ankles were already red and swollen.
But she just pretended not to see it, put down her skirt and continued down the mountain.
Lu Yuchuan saw her actions and stepped forward to hold her, "Your feet are swollen, are you still going?"
