Jiang Zhi knew that he would never reply to her again.
She put down her mobile phone and sat up from the bed. She couldn't sleep so she had to go to the balcony to enjoy the air.
The neighbor across the door has put on new Spring Festival couplets and hung new lanterns in front of the door.
Jiang Zhi decided to go out tomorrow to buy some things for the New Year, including window stickers and couplets.
She didn't go to bed until it was almost dawn. She slept late but woke up very early.
In his rare free time, Jiang Zhi went to a nearby market and bought some couplets for window grilles. He made paste made from glutinous rice and pasted them on the doors and windows, adding a bit of red and making him look really happy.
Today is New Year's Eve, and Jiang Zhi went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients, as well as her favorite sweet glutinous rice balls.
Even if I celebrate the New Year alone, I don’t want to look too miserable.
She came back from the supermarket and took a taxi to the cemetery.
My grandparents’ cemetery is in a secluded place on the outskirts of the city.
In recent years, she has not come often.
When I was studying, I could only come back to visit my grave during the winter and summer vacations.
Jiang Zhi bought some of her grandparents' favorite foods and placed them in front of the tombstone. She raised her hand and couldn't help but touch the black and white photo on it. Apart from her mother, her grandparents were the people who loved her the most.
Her eyes were moist and she was crying.
It would be great if they were all still alive.
It would be better if there was no such person as Jiang Beishan.
She would rather she had never been born than to have her family who had loved her since she was a child suffer such a catastrophe.
After sweeping the tomb, Jiang Zhi's eyes were a little swollen from crying. She wiped away her tears and turned around to see an unexpected person.
Lawyer Li stood not far away holding two bouquets of flowers.
It was an accident that Li He met her here. He didn't expect that she would come back.
Jiang Zhi saw him holding flowers, and suddenly felt less uncomfortable than before. She was not the only one in the world who remembered them.
And the students they have sponsored.
Doing good deeds in this world will be rewarded.
"Lawyer Li."
"Miss Jiang."
Li He is no longer the poor student he was back then. He no longer blushes when facing the eldest lady he once needed to look up to. He has been able to deal with it with ease these years.
Jiang Zhi pursed his lips: "Are you here to see my grandparents?"
Li He nodded: "Yeah."
Jiang Zhi said thank you to him from the bottom of his heart.
Li He only said that this was what he should do and it was his job.
After coming out of the cemetery, Li He offered to take her home. The place was remote and it was difficult to take a taxi. Jiang Zhi agreed.
But when she saw Li He again, she still had lingering fears.
She might not be able to bear the anger that Shen Luyan had last time if it happened again.
Most of the time, Jiang Zhi couldn't understand Shen Luyan's possessiveness towards her that was far beyond ordinary people's. It could be said that it was already a bit morbid, as he didn't treat her as an independent person, but as something that belonged to him alone.
Jiang Zhi took a chance that since they were not in Nancheng this time, Shen Luyan would not know.
Li He chatted with her on the way: "Where is your husband?"
Jiang Zhi was a little nervous when he heard him mention Shen Luyan, "He is in Beicheng."
It's not convenient for Li He to ask more questions, so he'll just stop there.
He walked her to the alley. Jiang Zhi got out of the car, bent down and waved to the person in the car window, "Thank you, Lawyer Li."
Li He hoped that she would not be polite to him, but after repeated attempts to no avail, he stopped forcing her, "If you need my help, please feel free to ask."
Jiang Zhi felt warm in his heart and could only say thank you.
She was grateful, but she really didn't want to trouble others now.
Not long after Jiang Zhi arrived home, he received a call from Mrs. Shen.
The voice on the other end was a little cautious, sounding very concerned about her mood, "Azhi, why don't you come back to celebrate the New Year this year?"
Jiang Zhi thought about it for a moment, "I want to go home and spend time with my family."
Mrs. Shen didn't know the situation at her home, "You can bring your family over, don't worry."
Jiang Zhi really didn't know how to repay Mrs. Shen's kindness. Mrs. Shen seemed to be worried about her and was silent for a while, "Azhi, are you still blaming him?"
Jiang Zhi was stunned for two seconds.
Mrs. Shen then said coldly: "To be honest, he was really hated for what he did! You should never have been sent to the hospital... I have scolded him many times."
Although her son is an incorrigible person.
No one listens to what they say.
I have been independent since I was a child.
Mrs. Shen felt sorry for her and felt guilty in her heart. During this period of time, she did not dare to contact her. Mrs. Shen really regarded her as her daughter and was afraid that she would not forgive her. "He was confused this time and will regret it in the future." of."
Jiang Zhi listened silently.
Mrs. Shen still doesn't know her son well enough.
Shen Luyan will never regret.
There are very few things in this world that can break his heart, and very few people that can change his mind.
Jiang Zhi would not be so naive as to believe the story in the novel. He did not expect that one day he would regret the surgery and be in agony.
Jiang Zhi said: "Mom, I don't blame him."
She lowered her eyelashes and spoke softly: "We had discussed it at that time."
It's not wrong to say it's a discussion.
It was just a discussion with a somewhat coercive nature.
With all the pros and cons laid out in front of her, she had to face reality.
Jiang Zhi managed a smile and said, "I will come to see you after celebrating the New Year with my family."
After hearing her words, Mrs. Shen felt even more sorry for her. Where could she find such a kind and sensible girl? It was Shen Luyan, the bastard, who didn't cherish her.
If anything goes wrong in the future, he won't even have time to cry.
A soft-hearted person is the most decisive when it comes to seeking a break.
"You come back early, I will ask Shen Luyan to pick you up then."
"good."
Mrs. Shen gave many more instructions and scolded Shen Lvyan.
Jiang Zhi couldn't help but laugh. After hanging up the phone, he went to the kitchen to prepare his New Year's Eve dinner.
She spends the Spring Festival alone every year.
The New Year has not yet arrived, and there are sounds of fireworks outside the house.
Streams of gorgeous light exploded in the sky with ultimate splendor, lighting up the silent sky.
Jiang Zhi also set off a bunch of fireworks at the entrance of the yard to pray for peace and success in the coming year.
She was so lonely that she turned on the TV while eating dinner and watched boring sketches, unable to laugh.
While she was eating, her eyes became sore inexplicably.
The phone dinged, and she picked it up and looked at it.
Shen Luyan sent her a New Year's red envelope. Jiang Zhi's eyes were blurred and he accepted his red envelope with wet eyes.
She hated her temperament for being easily moved by the slightest good thing.
She wiped her tears and suddenly wanted to hear Shen Luyan's voice.
Jiang Zhi plucked up the courage and dialed his phone.
The bell beeped several times, and soon the other party hung up.
