Jiang Ruo remembered that on the phone, Mingyu said that she was very satisfied. It shows that in Mingyu's plan at the beginning, this is a one-way trip without return. The reason for this phone call may be that I changed my mind at the last minute and wanted to hold on to the hope of life.

Every time he thought of this, Jiang Ruo's whole person was like falling into an ice cellar.

If it was Jiang Zhouman on the other end of the phone, she might not hesitate to say that you love to die, Jiang Zhouman is really dead, and she will not feel the slightest guilt. Because she and Jiang Zhouman have nothing but hatred and grudge.

But between Jiang Ruo and Ming Yu, it is complicated.

The innocent companions when they were young reunited as adults, and their scarred bodies and minds accumulated over time realized that it had not been easy for them all these years, so that the old friends who tended to be strangers were close to each other again.

Because of this, how heavy Jiang Ruo's losses are, how much he hates Mingyu. But the price of death was too tragic, so tragic that it blurred the boundary of hatred, even if Jiang Ruo knew that Ming Yu was dead, he would put her together.

After reading the letter in the afternoon, Jiang Ruo sat in the study for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses. She imagined a lot of possibilities, but she didn't believe that Mingyu was really dead.

In the end, she couldn't calm down, dialed the number Ming Yu called a few days ago, prompting that the phone had been turned off, and she redialed the number that Ming Yu had used in the address book, and a beep sounded in the earpiece, and Jiang Ruo held his breath.

When he was about to hang up automatically because no one answered, a voice came from the other side: "Hey." ”

It was a deep and gloomy voice that belonged to Jiang Ji, and it sounded no different from usual.

Jiang Ruo suppressed the trembling in his voice, and asked coldly, "Where is Mingyu?"

Jiang Jin sneered, as if he was laughing at her, "She will go back to her hometown tomorrow, you can go and see her." ”

Jiang Ruo breathed a sigh of relief for a moment, which meant that Ming Yu was not dead

At the moment when the big stone landed in her heart, Jiang Jin added another address: "No. 24, Changming Garden, Changming Mountain." ”

Jiang Ruo realized that it was strange, but he didn't notice that something was wrong, "Where is Changming Garden in Changming Mountain?"

There is a mountain in her hometown, which is a local outing resort, but she has never heard of Changming Garden, is it a recently renovated villa area, Jiang Ji bought her a property

This thought just flashed in his mind, and Jiang Jin replied: "It's normal not to know, the cemetery has just been built for a few years." ”

Jiang Ruo felt as if someone had punched her head-on, her eyes were hot, her brain was buzzing, the snow falling outside the window seemed to be still, and the patches of white pierced her eyes.

Jiang Ruo subconsciously asked: "How did you die?"

Even if you have guessed it from the letter.

"Jumped off the cruise ship. Jiang Ji was so calm that he seemed to be telling the death of an unrelated person.

Less than six hours after calling Jiang Ruo, the surveillance showed that the sea was very cold at 12 o'clock local time, and there was almost no one on the top deck at night except for the occasional patrol staff.

At that height, almost the moment it hits the icy sea, people will lose consciousness, and with the huge momentum, they will sink very quickly. At that time, there was already ice floe on the sea surface in the area where the cruise ship was located, and the water temperature was extremely low.

When he jumped down in the dead of night, no one found it, and the psychiatrist sent by Jiang Ji to accompany Ming Yu the next day found that Ming Yu was missing, found the staff on the cruise ship, and inquired about the monitoring, and it had been seven hours since Ming Yu jumped into the sea.

People have sunk into the sea, it is difficult to search and rescue in extremely cold weather, salvage at sea for many days without results, the sea is shaking, people are basically unable to find it, Xiao Lu accepted the facts, and finally decided to bury Mingyu in a well-dressed grave situation.

Jiang Ruo finished talking to himself, his mood and voice were very stable, but tears kept pouring out, wetting the pillow under his face.

Lu Huaishen didn't know what to say for a while, and Jiang Ruo also calmed down.

When she spoke again, her voice was hoarse, with a heavy nasal voice, and she asked Lu Huaishen: "Do you think she has a chance of surviving?"

She actually knows the answer.

Lu Huaishen touched the water stains on her face, and his fingertips were slightly dull, "Maybe for her, this is the best result." He didn't know Ming Yu himself, so he didn't want to say much, but he didn't want Jiang Ruo to be trapped in it, "You don't owe her, her death has nothing to do with you, everything is her own choice." ”

It was her own choice to attack her friends, or to die.

Lu Huaishen guessed that Ming Yu didn't get what he wanted after he cheated Jiang Ruo, and at the same time, the mother and daughter turned against each other, and they had to suffer the conscience condemnation of betraying their friends. If it shows that Yu's depression is not fabricated, then her death is expected.

I don't want to live anymore, but if she dies like this, she may feel unwilling, and leaving a letter of repentance will make Jiang Ruo remember her for the rest of her life.

Jiang Ruo is a person who knows Mingyu better than Lu Huaishen, how could he not understand. She was only caught in it for a while, after all, it was the death of a living life.

Jiang Ruo turned around and squeezed into his arms, buried his whole face in his chest, and hugged him tightly.

Lu Huaishen stroked her back.

After a long time, there was a muffled voice: "This year is too long. ”

Jiang Ruo recalled that since the beginning of the Chinese New Year, it seems that he has not lived a day of peace, and it is as long as ten years.

Lu Huai shook his hand and whispered in her ear to reassure: "It's over soon." ”

"Really"

"Really. Lu Huai couldn't bear it, and the person in his arms was like a curled cat, snuggling up to him like a life-saving straw.

She didn't speak for a moment.

After a long time, so long that Lu Huaishen thought she was asleep, she suddenly said: "Tomorrow Mingyu will be buried, and if the body is not found, I will set up a clothed grave." ”

Lu Huaishen: "Where are you buried?"

"Our hometown. ”

Lu Huaishen guessed, "You want to go back"

Jiang Ruo had that idea, but when she thought of facing Xiao Lu and possibly seeing Jiang Ji, she suddenly resisted.

She shook her head and said, "If you don't go back, the snow is heavier in my hometown, and the road is not easy to walk." ”

Jiang Ruo really didn't change his attention, and the next day Lu Huai was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable alone at home, and wanted to take her to the company, but Jiang Ruo was buried in the quilt and couldn't talk about it.

As a result, when I came back in the evening, I asked Aunt Wu what her situation was. Aunt Wu said she spent another afternoon in the study.

At this time, Aunt Wu had just finished the meal, and Lu Huaishen went up to call her, only to find that she was asleep on the sofa in the study, covered with a blanket.

Lu Huaishen woke her up, and she opened her eyes and looked at him blankly for a while.

Lu Huaishen was squatting on the sofa, with one hand on top of her head, looking at her seriously.

Jiang Ruo rubbed his eyes: "What's wrong?"

Lu Huaishen brushed away the strands of hair that stuck to her face, "Isn't it a little boring to stay at home alone?"

"It's okay, it's wet and cold outside, and there's nowhere to go. Jiang Ruo looked out the window, the snow was very small, and it didn't stop much anyway.

"I'll take your aunt over to accompany you tomorrow, what do you think?"

Jiang Ruo was stunned for a moment and sat up from the sofa, "But when she leaves, Cheng Xiao is alone at home." ”

"Take your brother too. ”

Jiang Ruo looked at him in surprise.

He said: "It's more crowded. ”

Jiang Ruo clearly remembered that Lu Huaishen was not a person who liked to be lively, even Aunt Wu used to leave at the end of the day, and he lived alone at home at night, and he didn't like to have others at home. Besides, Lu Huaishen and her family have never gotten along much at all, and it's okay to have a meal once in a while, but if you want to live under one roof, there is almost no common topic.

Jiang Ruo had just woken up, and her reaction was a little sluggish, and only then did she realize why Lu Huaishen suddenly wanted to take her aunt over.

She said: "It's too far away from Cheng Xiao's school, so it's not very convenient. ”()
