He thought dejectedly, and the heart that had been beating wildly just now fell back to where it was. It hurt, but it was no longer beating vividly, like a pool of stagnant water.
He called Lin Zhiqian and asked: "Tinglan has returned to Senzhou, have you come to see you?" He just wanted to know how she was doing.
During the years he was abroad, he always thought that she lived and worked in Senzhou, leading a step-by-step life every day. She had a leader, Director Xiao, who carefully cultivated her, and a best friend Lin Zhiqian who was good to her. Without him, there would be no Zhuo family.
Excuse me, she can live a good life. Her home is in Senzhou, and I never thought that she would leave Senzhou.
Lin Zhiqian: "She returned to Senzhou?"
"Yeah!" Listening to her tone, Tinglan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed that he hadn't gone to find her either.
Lin Zhiqian immediately changed his clothes and went out to look for Shu Tinglan. But Senzhou was so big, where could he look for it?
Like Zhuo Yu'an, she stood on the street, looking around blankly, and felt a piece of her heart missing. She called Cheng Chen and asked Cheng Chen
: "Has Tinglan been looking for you?"
Cheng Chen was in Qining at this time and came back to visit the graves. It is the custom in Qining to visit the graves of deceased relatives on the Ghost Festival. This year is the tenth year since her grandmother passed away, so her mother told her to come back.
I was already in a very low mood, and I hadn't contacted Lin Zhiqian for a long time. Suddenly I heard her question and couldn't help but get angry.
: "Why did she contact me when she asked me what I was doing!" Cheng Chen has not been successful in starting a business in the past few years. He has worked hard to keep the company from going bankrupt and has a bad temper.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhiqian felt even more depressed. She knew that Lin Zhiqian had always blamed her for not taking good care of Tinglan and losing Tinglan. In the past few years, every time she recalled the last time she saw Tinglan, it was when she picked up her mother from the hospital.
Back home, she was busy with work and did not help her take care of her mother. In the last phone call, she divorced and said that she would take her mother out to relax so that she didn’t have to worry. She really didn’t contact her. When she contacted her again, she had already contacted her.
Not available.
Even a group of them felt guilty towards Tinglan, and they were too embarrassed to approach her, let alone say that they were her best friends. Over time, this guilt turned into timidity and lack of courage. So every time, she mentioned it to Lin Zhiqian.
Ting Lan always complained about each other and then broke up unhappy and never contacted each other again.
The next day, at the urging of her mother, she bought flowers and sweets that her grandmother liked to eat, and went up the mountain to sweep the grave. This cemetery is the best in Qining, with mountains and rivers, beautiful scenery, and well-managed.
very good.
She used to accompany her mother every year during the Ghost Festival, but in the past few years, she has not come back because she started a business in Senzhou. This year is the tenth anniversary of her grandmother's death, and her mother told her that she must come back.
Following her mother's instructions, she presented flowers step by step, arranged snacks, and chatted with her grandmother for a few words about the current situation. Then she sat aside and waited for her mother to finish.
On the other side of her grandmother's cemetery, a new cemetery was added. Because the shape was very unique, like a lotus, she couldn't help but take a second look.
Just this extra look made her get goosebumps all over her body, and then she got cold.
That lotus-shaped cemetery, the photo in the center, who could it be if it wasn't Shu Tinglan's mother? She ran over quickly, and at a close distance, she repeatedly confirmed that it was Tinglan's mother.
The photos and names all match.
"Why are you going?" Her mother called her from the side.
She couldn't hear anything. She only saw her daughter Shu Tinglan written on the tombstone and the date of her death. It was more than three years ago, after the last phone call she made.
Cheng Chen rarely cried. Even during the three years when she went to Senzhou to start a business, she found reasons to grit her teeth and persevered when she failed. Even after she confessed her love to Lu Kuo and was rejected by Lu Kuo, she did not shed a single tear. But at this time
, she couldn't help crying because she felt so sorry for Tinglan.
