She believed in Shu Minghai so firmly, thinking that after the burial was completed and Tinglan was sent off to college, she would definitely find out the truth and regain Shu Minghai's innocence.
Tinglan was always huddled in a corner, instinctively keeping her eyes open and looking at her mother, hoping that her mother would tell her that it was all just a dream.
Her cell phone rang many times from morning to afternoon. Her ears seemed to be deaf and she couldn't hear the ringing of the phone until the phone ran out of battery and automatically shut down.
That was a call from Zhuo Yuan.
That morning, he fell asleep unknowingly after staying up all night, and actually fell asleep. When he woke up, Tinglan beside him had disappeared.
That day, he called her countless times, but she didn't answer the phone. He had nothing to say to her, so he could only edit it into a long text message and send it to her.
In the text message, it was his sincerity, and he was sending it to her with a hot heart in his hands.
After sending that message, he stayed up all night, tense and waiting for her response. However, the phone was silent, and there was not even an advertising message.
Over the past two nights, his heart had gone up and down, from being full of expectations to feeling uneasy, and now it was getting colder. He thought, maybe this was her answer. She had never seen him in the past three years.
But unwilling to give up, he still insisted on calling her on the second and third days. Sometimes no one answered, sometimes the phone was turned off, but she always ignored him.
Zhuo Yu'an was also stubborn and would not give up until he heard her refusal in person. So he kept calling until the third day when she finally accepted.
Suddenly hearing her voice, he felt trembling in his heart and felt a little bitter. He forced himself to calm down and said hello.
: "Tinglan, I am Zhuo Yu'an."
He simply said hello on the phone and was even prepared to be rejected. But he didn't expect that Tinglan on the other side of the phone would scold him and say so many unpleasant things.
He is such a proud person. He has been the pride of heaven since he was a child. He has been praised and coaxed by others. How has he ever been scolded like this? He is still the person he puts at the top of his heart. At that moment, he,
It's not just self-doubt, not just frustration, it's an unspeakable pain. It's the heartbreak of a fiery heart being stepped on the ground hard. He can even hear the sound of his body breaking into pieces.
.
He hung up the phone with a deathly expression, locked himself in the room for two days and did not come out. The nanny was frightened and had to find someone to pry open the door before going in. The boy's cheeks were sunken and his eyes were full of red bloodshot eyes.
At that time, the atmosphere in the Zhuo family was also dull for a time. The person involved in Zhuo Hong's investigation committed suicide out of fear of guilt. Everything in the investigation came to an abrupt end at the source, and the old man became furious in Beijing.
Except for the nanny, no one in the family noticed anything was wrong with Zhuo Yu'an. He did not wait for the college entrance examination results in Qining, and returned to Beijing without even saying hello to anyone. By the time his family found out, he had already applied for a foreign university and had returned to Beijing.
I left China before school started.
Even if he accidentally recalled that phone call many years later in a foreign country, he would still feel cold all over.
But he didn't know that Tinglan's phone call was not directed at him. It was just that he happened to call her at the darkest moment in her life.
At that moment, Tinglan just knew that he and his mother had lived in such a lie for 18 years. At that moment, his mother was hysterical and flushed his father's ashes into the toilet.
At that moment, when she could not find an outlet to vent her emotions, Zhuo Yuan called. Tinglan thought of him and Wen Jian standing together and thought of him as her father. The faces of the three of them were in her eyes.
As they criss-crossed each other before her eyes, she scolded him with all her strength and all the curse words she could use in her life.
In fact, she just found an outlet to vent. She was unconscious and didn't know what unpleasant words she had cursed. But after she finished cursing and hung up the phone, she finally burst into tears, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.
