Chapter 145: The Greatest Comfort
The city finally ushered in the first light snow after winter, the white snowflakes fell to the ground and melted instantly, after a morning's work, the ground became wet, Gao Muchen finally found Zhou Yunying in the canteen of L University, Zhou Yunying knew that she couldn't hide, so she simply sat down at the table and ate as usual.
"Won't you give me one?" Gao Muchen sat across from her, "I haven't eaten yet." β
Not wanting to look up, Zhou Yunying bit her chopsticks, "It's rude to visit the door during meal time, don't you know?" β
"The point is that the guests came in the morning and couldn't find the host."
Zhou Yunying was still reluctant to let him starve, stood up and gave him a meal, the two of them didn't speak and just ate with their heads bored, but Gao Muchen's heart was not as calm as it seemed to be, and when he walked out of the cafeteria after eating, he grabbed Zhou Yunying, "Do you have classes in the afternoon?" Let's have a good chat. β
"We don't have much to talk about, so be it, you said you wouldn't look for me even if I left, so keep your original intention." Zhou Yunying don't overdo it, her heart, which has finally calmed down, can no longer sway from side to side.
Hearing this, Gao Muchen was stunned, "When did I say such a thing?" β
"Why have you forgotten, too, a genius like you never forgets to read a book, and a fool like me never forgets to hear people speak." To put it bluntly, it is in the nature of women to hold grudges.
Gao Muchen is speechless, women are also a scholar, his current Cheng dΓΉ is just getting started, God was fair to him, knowing that he was weak in this aspect, he gave him a fool, but he didn't cherish it, now, the fool has actually upgraded, "Okay, let's put our affairs aside for the time being, my mother and Mu Xi, it's Qiu Feng who begged you to do them a favor, do you have time tomorrow?" β
Zhou Yunying also stopped, "What can I help?" β
"They want to meet your mother, and they want to talk about it in person, and they want you to take them with them." Li Xiyi also has a lot to say to Zhou Yunying, but she has been waiting for an opportunity.
"I ......" How could Zhou Yunying refuse, no matter how sad her heart was, would it be more painful than more than ten years of separation between mother and son? Okay, I'll go. β
The meeting was scheduled for the next morning, Li Xiyi led Gao Muxi to wait in the detention center early, and Zhou Yunying brought them to Qiu Meizhen with complicated feelings.
Dozens of days seem like decades, Qiu Meizhen's former demeanor is long gone, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes reveal her sleepless predicament, the moment she saw Zhou Yunying, her eyes flashed with tears, and when she saw Li Xiyi's mother and son again, she suddenly panicked, "No, no, I want to go back." β
"Mom, don't go," Zhou Yunying grabbed Qiu Meizhen, who was about to get up, "Please, you owe their mother and son an apology." β
Without the courage to raise her head, Qiu Meizhen lay on the table and sobbed, how could her life become like this, how could she commit such a crime, Gao Muxi walked to her side and gently stroked her back, "Don't be sad." β
Qiu Meizhen heard Gao Muxi's voice and raised her head, "Feng'er...... My ......"
Li Xiyi sat down opposite her and took out a tissue, "Wipe your tears." β
"I ...... There is no face to face you. Qiu Meizhen took the tissue, "I never thought of harming others, it was my selfishness and weakness that hurt you and myself." She shouldn't have obeyed Wu Furong's words, she will eventually become a pawn of others in this life.
Li Xiyi nodded, "I don't know much about your world, I have been able to worship the Buddha for many years by chance, and I can also see this kind of unforgivable sin, every qiΔ is fate, but the only thing that makes me happy is that you are okay to Mu Xi, that is, your Qiu Feng, he has always been very worried about you, and is willing to testify for you in court and reduce the time to serve your sentence." β
"Thank you, thank you for forgiving me." Qiu Meizhen, who has been complaining all her life, finally woke up, there is a cause and effect, people walk this way in the world, they don't think so much about the beginning, every moment is the beginning of the next moment, the only thing she can do is to use the second half of her life to repay the sins of the past.
Walking out of the detention center, Zhou Yunying was completely relieved in her heart, Qiu Meizhen was finally able to face up to the harm she had brought to the Gao family, this is the greatest comfort to the victims, and the days ahead are still very long, isn't it?
"Yingying, come and sit at my house, it's almost noon, you have to eat," Li Xiyi suddenly grabbed Zhou Yunying's hand, and found that her little hands were cold, "Silly boy, why are you wearing so little?" β
"I ...... I'm not going, thank you, Auntie. Zhou Yunying hurriedly shirked.
Gao Muxi walked around and grabbed Zhou Yunying's other hand, "Sister, please, go to my house for lunch." "He loved this sister and she had been his pillar of support during those days of being alone.
Along the way, Zhou Yunying didn't find a chance to resist, and when she arrived at Gao's house, as soon as she opened the door, the hot meal was already in the restaurant, and Gao Yuan and Gao Muchen stood in front of the door, as if they had been waiting for her arrival. This kind of scene is beyond Zhou Yunying's expectations, if the Gao family coldly reprimands her, she thinks she can handle it, but how should she respond to such enthusiasm?
Li Xiyi seemed to see the hesitation in Zhou Yunying's heart, "Child, you don't have to think about anything, just have a simple meal, come in." β
How familiar this dining room is, once upon a time, Zhou Yunying was happy because she could walk into Gao Muchen's world, in just a few months, she finally tasted the pain of things and people, the rice was delivered to her mouth, but she couldn't swallow anything, she wanted to control it, but the tears still fell on the dining table, Gao Muchen took a tissue to help her wipe her tears, Gao Yuan sighed softly, put down the chopsticks, "Yingying, uncle, I, although I am the head of the family, but I won't say anything, we all know, You don't feel good these days, but our Gao family never thinks that you have done anything wrong, on the contrary, we all thank you, if there is really a noble person in this world, you are a noble person in my family. β
Li Xiyi held Zhou Yunying's cold hand, "The child's father is right, don't take everything on yourself, you are a good child, if you are like this again, how sad our hearts should be." β
"I'm sorry, aunt and uncle, I ...... I just feel ......" Zhou Yunying choked up and couldn't speak, she felt so wronged, this qiΔ really has nothing to do with her, she is also a victim, but why is she so sad in her heart, "I think you are all so miserable, I ...... It's been a hard time. "What can she say about this qiΔ miserable person who is suffering now?
Gao Muchen gently hugged her into his arms, "Then take all these sadness and pain over, and live happily every day in the future, let's work together, okay?" β
"Mu Chen, you go and take her to the bedroom to rest for a while," Seeing Zhou Yunying crying too sadly, Li Xiyi gently tapped her on the back, "Don't eat it yet, Auntie will put the rice in the pot in a while, and go smoothly first." β
Zhou Yunying scowled and lay down on the bed in the bedroom, Gao Muchen was sitting on the side to wipe her tears, Li Xiyi gently closed the door, turned to Gao Yuan and Gao Muxi and said, "You two hurry up and eat, go to work early, Muxi will accompany me to the supermarket." β
"Didn't you just go there last night?" Gao Muxi blinked, "Is there anything you are in a hurry to buy?" β
"There's nothing in the hurry, buy some toilet paper." Li Xiyi hurriedly took a few bites of rice.
"Oh......" Gao Muxi looked at the toilet paper stacked in the corner that was one meter high, "It's time to buy it, in case everyone has diarrhea, I'm afraid the stock is not enough." β
"This kid ......" Li Xiyi patted his youngest son's head lightly, and looked at the bedroom door with a worried face, hoping that Zhou Yunying could open his heart knot as soon as possible, the eldest son has lost too much weight recently......
