Chapter 1: The Return of the King
……
The sun at the beginning of April is bright and clear, and the sun is warm on people's bodies, which makes people can't help but feel cheerful and happy.
But the people who come to the cemetery to sweep the graves will not be in a comfortable mood. Some people have gloomy faces, and some are weeping.
But there are also some people who are very sad on the surface, but they are snickering in their hearts.
Just like Qi Manjing, every time she comes to sweep the tomb to pay tribute to her deceased husband, who has been dead for three years, she will be in a particularly happy mood.
Usually, as soon as a woman passes the age of twenty-five, she begins to go downhill. But she is an exception. A good life, a variety of top skin care products moisturize her, her skin is still smooth and supple like a girl. However, compared to the youthfulness of the girl, she is like a ripe peach, exuding a sweet and attractive smell all over her body.
Rao is in this environment, most of the men who come to sweep the tomb around can't help but look at her and are reluctant to look away. A tall and delicate woman, dressed noble but not vulgar, even if it is a clear soup and noodles, she still looks delicate and charming, with a cold and faint sadness on her face, is there a stunner that makes a man's heart more excited?
Especially those successful men who feel that their careers have achieved a little and are in their thirties and forties. Although they know how to restrain their true thoughts better than young men, they still can't control it, and secretly glance at it from time to time. They all carried their families and relatives behind their backs, and they were thinking about how to get in touch with her.
It can be seen that this woman may be difficult to get started. Her age is no longer the innocent and lively ignorant girl who allows them to coax casually. What's more, according to their eyes, they can understand her restrained and low-key, but extremely luxurious outfit. Just the inconspicuous women's watch on her smooth jade wrist is almost the price of a Mercedes-Benz.
But the more this is the case, the more valuable the woman is to conquer, and in fact the mausoleum here is very expensive, so expensive that it is not something that the rich simply cannot afford. As a result, most of the people who come here are either rich or expensive.
Of course, the reason why they think that this woman can get started is also because they have seen the words on the tombstone, the spirit of the late husband. Clearly, the woman was a widow. A pretty, mature, noble widow, a grace of heaven that is hard for any man to resist.
Qi Manjing looked at the luxurious tomb, with a little melancholy and depression on her pretty and charming face. But in my heart, I kept laughing. It's been three years, and this bad old man has been dead for three years. still makes her feel a sense of freedom and pleasure every time she sees the tombstone. But years of experience have made Qi Manjing understand what forbearance is and what is low-key.
Just smiling and smiling, Qi Manjing had the urge to cry again, she had done so many things, paid so many costs, and finally achieved her current status and wealth, is it worth it?
After a long time, just as she was about to leave calmly after completing her routine without being criticized, she suddenly swept the silhouette of a man in front of the tombstone not far ahead.
She was slightly stunned, and the expression on her face instantly became surprised and happy.
It's not that the appearance of the man in the gray trench coat attracted her. In fact, after all the hardships and ups and downs that she has come to this point, she no longer uses her appearance to measure anyone when she looks at people.
It's just that when the corner of her eyes inadvertently swept past him, her heart suddenly "suddenly" and trembled slightly. The distant memories buried in the deepest part of my heart, which I couldn't bear to touch it, suddenly surged out like a tide. The innocence, shyness, and sweetness and sourness that only knew how to hide in the shadows and secretly watch someone occupied all her thoughts in an instant, making her expression that she thought she could completely control it had some subtle changes one after another.
Wang Yong! Qi Manjing dreamed, never thought that she would have the opportunity to see him again in this life. From the chat of the old classmates who only had a few remaining contacts and occasionally contacted, I inadvertently heard that Wang Yong went to the army after graduating from high school and rarely contacted his old classmates. Then, since his mother, who was a teacher, died in a car accident five years ago, he suddenly disappeared after the funeral. Even a few old classmates who occasionally talked on the phone completely cut off contact with him. It seems that he has disappeared from this world, leaving no trace.
If it weren't for the fact that the only graduation photo with Wang Yongcun is still intact, I would remind her from time to time. Qi Manjing, who has been going through so many years, seems to have experienced several lifetimes, and she can't help but wonder if she has this classmate? And Wang Yong, is he the ignorant prince charming imagined by himself?
Subconsciously, she took a step forward, and the word Wang Yong almost shouted out of her mouth. It's just that the moment of shame in her heart forcibly dragged her steps. His face was slightly pale, his breath was short, and he stepped back step by step. From afar, just like in high school, looking at his side face from afar. The intertwined hands trembled, barely bloody.
Under the tombstone, it should be his mother, right? Qi Manjing's heart gloomy slightly, and she felt a little sad for him. But his face seemed to be very calm, without the slightest sadness. His appearance has changed so much that if he were someone else, he might not even be recognizable when he walks on the street. But she was no one else, brilliant and incisive in her observations, and the memories that seemed to be engraved in the deepest part of her heart. Let her recognize him the moment she casually glanced at him.
"I'm no longer the ignorant girl I was at the beginning, I, yes, I'm Qi Manjing, I have hundreds of millions of properties, I have great confidence, I ......" Qi Manjing doesn't know how long it has been, and she hasn't felt this kind of hesitation that is like numbness and not under her control. Constantly trying to improve your self-confidence in a suggestive way. The purpose was just to go up and say hello to him calmly.
"But what would he think if he knew what I had experienced over the years? With his proud personality, he will definitely look down on me and despise me. No, no, that's not my fault, if not, if it weren't for ......" Whether it's the ruthlessness of the old man's children in the fight for the inheritance, or the domineering integration of the assets he left behind to eradicate dissidents. Or in the shopping mall, it is invincible. Qi Manjing thinks that she can be ruthless and ruthless. But at this moment, she was afraid, afraid that the vicious things she had done would be known to him. Tears that hadn't been shed for a long time suddenly covered her eyelids. I only know self-hypnosis in my heart, that's not my fault, I'm just trying to live, just to keep my mother alive......
Suddenly, Qi Manjing suddenly felt a cold current gushing out from the bottom of her heart, hitting her whole body. He turned his head, his calm and resolute face seemed to have no expression, and his eyes were flat and serene. However, her instincts told her that she was being targeted by a brutal predator, and that the slightest movement of herself would be torn to pieces.
"It's, what's wrong?" There was never a moment, like now, Qi Manjing felt her own insignificance and vulnerability, her throat seemed to be pressed by an invisible force, and she couldn't breathe. His feet and hands became weak and trembling, as if he had lost all strength. Am I going to die? Huge fear hit her heart, and Qi Manjing's eyes stared at his face. In those eyes that were still full of tears, there was some sadness and confusion, but more of it seemed to be relief.
"Huh?"
Just when Qi Manjing was frightened and panicked, her whole body was shaking. A somewhat hoarse, puzzled voice rang out.
In an instant, the feeling of being choked by the throat suddenly disappeared. After Qi Manjing stood up straight with her drowsy head, when she looked at Wang Yong again, she couldn't find his figure. In front of the tombstone, it was empty. If it weren't for the white lily still lying there quietly, Qi Manjing would probably wonder if the scene just now was her own delusion.
"Wang Yong!" Finally, Qi Manjing's bloodless lips gently called out the name. No yelling, no searching around. But the tears finally fell irrepressibly.
