Lin Qingrou smiled encouragingly to the little girl, and the two happily pulled the hook and made an agreement. After saying goodbye to the little girl and the old grandmother, Lin Qingrou and her party walked through the village and followed Zhou Yi's guidance to a hill on the island.

Halfway up the mountainside, there is a Mazu temple that has lasted for more than 100 years. Mazu is the protector of the sea believed by coastal residents, and they set up temples to beg Mazu Niangniang for safety, solve difficulties, and protect fishermen from going to sea.

Zhou Yi said that among the many Mazu temples in Xiushan, the most effective on this island is the one. In the past, incense was also at its peak here, and it was difficult to find incense. Although in recent years, as the residents of the island have moved away, the Mazu Temple has become much deserted, there are still many people who believe in the aura here, and there are not a few people who come from thousands of miles to pray for blessings.

"Sincerity is spirituality, and sometimes in people's hearts, isn't it just a peace of mind?" Zhou Yi sighed.

"It's all here, let's go in and put incense on it." A colleague suggested.

Lin Qingrou followed them into the main hall and knelt down in front of the statue of Mazu.

"If you have any wishes, you can tell Mazu Niangniang, it will definitely come true."

Lin Qingrou closed her eyes, and Zhou Yi's voice sounded in her ears.

Wish? I hope that Linlin can continue to grow up healthy and happy, and if I can, I also hope to be able to speak one day, and no longer be discriminated against and indifferent by others. Lin Qingrou reverently said her wish in her heart, she hoped that all this could come true.

Lin Qingrou, who came back from the island, received a text message from Song Miao. In the text message, Song Miao said that she had completely broken up with Jiang He, and her loss and sadness could be seen in her words.

Lin Qingrou was also very anxious when she learned about this situation, she felt that Song Miao and Jiang He would not come to this point at all, so she patiently persuaded Song Miao for a long time, hoping that she would not easily give up this hard-won relationship, and wait for time to slowly dilute the sharp contradictions, and then the two would calm down and deal with the relationship problem.

Song Miao's mood improved a little after Lin Qingrou's patient guidance, but she still lost confidence in the relationship between herself and Jiang He. Lin Qingrou didn't want to see such a pair of affectionate lovers break up, she felt that Jiang He might have something unspeakable, otherwise with his usual personality, he would not have completely fallen out with Song Miao because of the child's affairs.

Just when Lin Qingrou was worried about the matter between Song Miao and Jiang He, her mobile phone rang again, and this time the voice on the other end of the phone made her nervous. She hurriedly put on her coat and walked out of the office, where a black limousine was parked at the door.

Du Liangde suddenly came to Xiushan, and was sitting in the car at the moment looking tired. When Lin Qingrou also sat in the car as he requested, Du Liangde told the driver, Lao Zhao, to drive to the company building of Whitby Global Group in Xiushan.

Du Liangde opened his mouth and said: "I must see Du Hongming today, I hope you can help me." ”

There was a hint of pleading in his tone, and Lin Qingrou felt that this was probably the first time that Du Liangde had spoken to him in such a posture.

She understood that Du Liangde had to come to Du Hongming, because now for their father and son, there must be someone who put down his body and took the initiative to take the first step, since Du Hongming was unwilling to seek reconciliation from beginning to end, then this first step of concession could only be taken by Du Liangde.

Lin Qingrou's office was not far from the office building of Whitby Global, and the car slowly stopped at the gate.

Du Liangde said, "Please ask him out." ”

Lin Qingrou was naturally reluctant to participate in the rights and wrongs of their father and son, but she looked at Du Liangde and suddenly felt that the old man with a cold face in front of her was just an ordinary father.

What father in the world would not want to resolve grievances and hatreds with his son, not to mention that he seems to have already looked down on life and death, so why bother to worry about who is right and who is wrong, and who will take the initiative to show goodwill.

Lin Qingrou sent a text message to Du Hongming as she said, and after the transmission was successful, she used her mobile phone to call a message to show Du Liangde.

"It's almost time for the end of the day, but I can't guarantee if he'll have time to come out or if he's in the building right now."

After waiting in the car for fifteen minutes, Lin Qingrou's mobile phone text message finally sounded. Lin Qingrou opened the text message and handed it to Du Liangde directly. On the text message, Du Hongming said that he had already taken care of the company's affairs and could come down to her immediately. Lin Qingrou did not directly explain that she was with Du Liangde, because once she said so, Du Hongming would definitely not agree to the appointment.

Lin Qingrou still hopes that the father and son can talk face-to-face, so she also intends to do her best to facilitate this father-son meeting after nearly ten years.

Du Zeming is still wearing an elegant and crisp black suit and navy blue tweed coat, which is almost his favorite match. Lin Qingrou remembered the expensive coat that Du Hongming had destroyed by red paint last time, and blamed herself for how she could easily forget about it, but she had to compensate Du Hongming for one such dress. At this time, Du Hongming had already walked in the direction where the car was parked, and Lin Qingrou opened the car door to greet him.

"What's wrong? What's the important thing about rushing to find me, right? Du Hongming still had his signature smile on his face.

After Lin Qingrou saw Du Hongming, she immediately felt a burst of guilt, after all, she had brought someone he never wanted to see without permission. Lin Qingrou was about to open her mouth to explain to Du Hongming, but she had already heard the sound of reaching out and Du Liangde lifting his cane and hitting the ground.

After that, she saw Du Hongming's dilated pupils and heard Du Liangde's violent cough. When Du Hongming moved his surprised gaze from Du Liangde to Lin Qingrou, he already had a plan to leave immediately.

But Lin Qingrou looked at Du Hongming with pleading eyes, and told him in sign language that he hoped that the father and son could give each other a chance, at least Du Liangde took the initiative to come to the door this time, not to quarrel with his son. Du Hongming reluctantly held back his temperament and looked at Du Liangde with a very indifferent expression.

"Since you've been back home for so long, can't you go home?" Du Liangde spoke, and his tone sounded like a strict father's admonition to his son.

Du Hongming naturally didn't give Du Liangde a good look, he immediately replied: "Do I still have a home?" ”

"Bastard! Your surname is Du, you are the son of my Du Liangde, and this will never change! Du Liangde scolded suddenly.

Before Du Liangde came, he made up his mind to settle his suspicions with Du Hongming, but the two still didn't give each other a good look when they met after many years, and Du Liangde's fiery temper was also quickly ignited by Du Hongming's indifferent attitude, so that there was no restraint in his words at the beginning.

Lin Qingrou saw that the situation was not as optimistic as expected, the father and son were simply on the same footing, and they were-for-tat as soon as they met.

So, she reluctantly acted as a mediator, trying her best to dissuade them from being an occasion for conversation, hoping that they could find a suitable place to sit down and talk.

Du Hongming naturally resisted any contact with Du Liangde, but he also valued Lin Qingrou's opinion. Seeing that Lin Qingrou wanted to help their father and son meet very hard, Du Hongming couldn't refuse directly.

At this time, Du Liangde said: "I came to talk to you about something very important, and this matter is related to the vital interests of the Du family, Hongming Group, and you and me. ”

Du Hongming looked at Du Liangde's very serious expression, and noticed his face full of vicissitudes and aging, and suddenly had some hesitation in his heart, and in the end he had to acquiesce. After the three of them came to Du Hongming's office, Lin Qingrou signaled that she was not suitable for being present and wanted to leave.

Du Liangde said: "What I promised you before, I believe that Du Zeming has already started to handle it now, please rest assured." ”

Lin Qingrou knew that what Du Liangde was talking about was the promise that the Du family would finally let her go free, and it seemed that Du Liangde had not yet learned that Du Zeming had put the divorce agreement in front of her early this morning.

Thinking of the divorce agreement, Lin Qingrou's mind resurfaced Du Zeming's depressed and haggard face, she wanted to know what was going on, but she didn't know where to start.

When Lin Qingrou turned around and went out to close the door, her eyes saw the scene of the father and son sitting in a precarious position. And Du Hongming was casting an affirmative look at her, as if telling her not to worry too much, he would take care of it.

For this point, Lin Qingrou fully believes in Du Hongming. Although Du Hongming and Du Zeming are two brothers, their personalities and tempers are very different. One is as gentle as jade, like a humble gentleman living in a fairy tale, while the other has an extreme temperament, domineering and sharp in everything, like a volcano that can erupt at any moment.

Lin Qingrou was fed up with living around this volcano that erupted frequently, and suffered those unjustified disasters for no reason. She thought that it was time to completely escape from the upper life circle that made her feel desperate and lonely, once she dissolved her marriage with Du Zeming, she would be free, she could roam freely in the vast world, and she no longer had to worry about the constraints and shackles of others.

Then she has to take Du Lin back to her side at the right time. She can leave Du Lin in the Du family for a moment of helplessness, but she has no way to lose him for a long time, even if it is not a pity for Du Lin to lose his rich life in the Du family.

Because she believes that Du Lin will always understand her and understand her mother's inseparable feelings for her son, not to mention that when Lin Qingrou asked Du Lin how to choose between herself and Du Zeming, Du Lin finally chose his mother.
