Qin Zhiying didn't expect Shen Mei to suddenly ask this, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

Shen Mei asked again: "Gu Qiongyi and Gong Lingyuan broke up, is it because of you?" ”

"It's not." This time, Qin Zhiying answered very simply.

She did think about breaking up with Gu Qiongyi for Gong Lingyuan, but the things she had done to Gong Lingyuan over the years were of no use. Because Gong Lingyuan's heart has always been towards Gu Qiongyi, Gu Qiongyi doesn't know how to cherish it.

Shen Mei glanced at the time on her phone, the boarding time was getting closer and closer, and she couldn't delay any longer.

Pick up the bag on the hospital bed, get up and walk outside.

Qin Zhiying grabbed her arm, refused to give up, and said, "Mom, if you listen to me, I won't harm you." ”

"Let go of me." Shen Mei tried to pull his arm out.

Qin Zhiying hugged Shen Mei directly, but she didn't let her go.

Shen Mei was annoyed and said angrily: "Zhiying, are you angry with me?" ”

"No, Mom, don't get excited. I'm genuinely worried about you. Qin Zhiying saw that she couldn't stop her, and she was also very anxious.

I don't know what Sheng Tianche said to her mother, making her so difficult to convince.

Shen Mei saw that Qin Zhiying's eyes were a little red, and she sighed. said to Qin Zhiying: "If you are really not at ease, go back with me." ”

"I can't go back." Qin Zhiying turned her face away.

"People do wrong things in their lifetime, and the key is to know that you are doing it wrong. Apologize when you should apologize, and compensate if you can. ”

"How to compensate." Qin Zhiying thought of the money she had raised over the years, which was an astronomical amount. Even if you sell her, you can't pay it off.

"I know that a lot of things you did were for me, you go back and apologize to those people, and we will find a way to pay back the money together." Shen Mei's tone softened a little.

Qin Zhiying shook her head. She won't apologize. Besides, even if you apologize, others may not accept it.

Five years ago, when Shen Mei was first hospitalized, she went to the Qin family to beg, but no matter what she said, the Qin family was unwilling to pay a penny.

Shen Mei took out a card from her bag and handed it to Qin Zhiying.

"What is this?" Qin Zhiying took it and saw that it was a bank card.

"What Lao Sheng gave me back then, it was originally used as medical expenses, but then I lost my memory and forgot. There were 50 million of them, and I was going to go back and give it back to him. Give it to you now, and you take it and give it back to those people. Treat it as if I owe it to Lao Sheng. ”

"Fifty million." Qin Zhiying smiled helplessly. 50 million is not enough to plug your teeth. She got 200 million from Gu Qiongyi and Sheng Tianche alone.

Seeing the expression on Qin Zhiying's face, Shen Mei was a little worried, and asked, "How much money did you borrow?" ”

"The amount doesn't matter anymore." Because I can't pay it off in this life.

"How can this not be important? It's a matter of ability, whether you remember it or not, it's a matter of morality. ”

Hearing Shen Mei say this, Qin Zhiying said in her heart: She still doesn't know how she got the money?

I just thought it was borrowed.

Borrow? In today's society, who is willing to lend money to others, and with such a large amount, it is impossible to get it back after lending it.

Seeing that time passed little by little, Shen Mei could no longer say anything to Qin Zhiying.

She took Qin Zhiying's arm and said, "Originally, I was going to go back by myself, but now it seems that you have to go back with me." ”

"I'm not going." Qin Zhiying's arm broke free from Shen Mei's grasp.

"Whatever you want." Shen Mei walked out of the hospital room.

Qin Zhiying stood in the ward, a little stunned.

When she thinks about these five years, it feels like a nightmare.

originally thought that as long as her mother could be good, everything she did was worth it. But now, even her mother thinks she did something wrong.

The mobile phone rang in her pocket, but Qin Zhiying ignored it.

She stood at the window of the hospital room and looked downstairs.

I waited for a long time, but I didn't see my mother.

She thought about when she was a child, when her mother was not sick, when her father was still there.

At that time, she could also be like Gu Qiongyi, who was pampered by the people around her.

It's just that I haven't had that kind of warm feeling for too long.

All these years, she lived in fear every day and every night. At all times, he was on guard against being taken away by the police. I've been worried about whether my mother will be healthy as before.

She thought that after Shen Mei recovered her health, she would be able to free herself from the nightmare.

But it wasn't until just now that she realized that the path of darkness never ends.

The fragrance formula is still missing, and Gu Qiongyi and Sheng Tianche have ghosts for their mothers. She couldn't guess what kind of danger and harm her mother would face when she returned to Zhonghai City.

She wanted to stop, she wanted to persuade. But I really can't do anything about it.

She's so tired, so tired......

I want to sleep and never wake up again.

Qin Zhiying stood at the window, looking at the people coming and going outside the hospital. She wondered if she would be able to be completely liberated if she took a leap.

"Zhiying." Shen Mei's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Qin Zhiying turned her head to look and saw that her mother was back again.

Shen Mei walked up to Qin Zhiying with her bag and stretched out her arms to hold her in her arms.

"Zhiying, my mother was too anxious just now and said too many things that shouldn't be said. You don't mind. Shen Mei kissed Qin Zhiying's forehead, hugged her in his arms again, and said softly: "It's really not Tianche's idea to go back this time." Although I have forgotten about the fire over the years, I remember everything else. It was only after I realized that I had done something wrong five years ago that I decided to make amends. It's not to make others forgive, it's just to make one's own heart feel better. ”

Qin Zhiying lay quietly in Shen Mei's arms, only feeling a little weak.

Shen Mei let go of his embrace, gently helped Qin Zhiying comb the broken hair around his ears, and said, "I don't force you to recognize this brother." It's like I don't expect your sister-in-law to forgive me. I respect your feelings, but I also have things I have to do. It's none of anyone else's business, you know? ”

Qin Zhiying nodded.

Shen Mei said again: "I do hope that you can also see the things you have done wrong, and I hope you can face these things bravely." You're only in your twenties, and you still have a long way to go. Don't always feel like this is the way this is the case. You can admit mistakes, but you can't throw in the towel. ”

Qin Zhiying looked at Shen Mei, she had never heard her mother say such a thing.

Maybe it's because she just graduated from college five years ago and is still a little girl who has never experienced the world, so there is no need for Shen Mei to say such things. And in the past five years, Shen Mei's own mental state has not been good, so naturally he can't say such things.

At this moment, Qin Zhiying felt that Shen Mei, who was standing in front of her, was a little unfamiliar. It's not the kind of strangeness that makes people annoying, but it makes Qin Zhiying feel a sense of peace.

Shen Mei's words were very powerful, which made Qin Zhiying secretly decide in her heart that she also wanted to be such a brave person as her mother.

Qin Zhiying and Shen Mei went to the airport together, and along the way, Qin Zhiying and Shen Mei talked about the things she had done over the years, and also told Shen Mei the content of Qin Jin's phone call a few days ago.

Shen Mei didn't say a word of accusation, just thanked Qin Zhiying for her dedication over the years, and was willing to bear all the consequences with her.

For the first time, Qin Zhiying felt that she was not really helpless in this world.
