Chapter 286: A long-overdue apology
The situation was urgent, Murong Qiao didn't have time to think so much, and directly called the driver to stop the emergency park.
He opened the car door and ran towards the river, walking fast.
"Stop!" Murong Qiao shouted.
I don't know if it's too far away or what, but the sound she shouted didn't provoke any reaction.
Murong Qiao ran closer and closer, and vaguely saw that this was a woman.
But the other party seemed to be deaf, he didn't hear her call at all, and walked forward slowly but without the slightest pause, seeing that the river was past her ankles.
Is she crazy?!
Murong Qiao frowned puzzled, he was anxious to die, and he even quickened the pace under his feet, which can be said to have run over at the fastest speed in his life.
Regardless of how cold the river was at night, Murong Qiao went directly into the water, ran to the person's side, and hurriedly grabbed her wrist while the water was not submerging the other party's thighs.
"You-"
As soon as Murong Qiao wanted to speak, he met the eyes of the woman who was pulled for a while, and then forced to turn her face, and then what she wanted to say was also dumbfounded.
It was a pair of hollow, hopeless eyes.
Murong Qiao couldn't see a little light in her eyes, and at the same moment recognized that the person in front of her was Luo Wanbai, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
The other party's state looked obviously wrong, but at the moment, he couldn't care so much, Murong Qiao first pulled Luo Wanbai ashore with strong force.
But then before she could say anything first, Luo Wanbai suddenly cried uncontrollably.
She said, "I don't want to live anymoreβ"
Collapsed, helpless.
These two words were clearly written on Luo Wanbai's face, and after she was pulled ashore by Murong Qiao, she squatted down and shrunk into a ball, buried her head in her knees and cried, without any elegance at all.
The rich daughter of the past has lost her demeanor and upbringing at this moment, crying bleakly and sadly.
"......" Murong Qiao opened his mouth, and then fell silent again.
She stood beside Luo Wanbai, squatted down and kept her body at the same height as the other party, took off the coat draped on her body and gave it to Luo Wanbai, and then reached out and slowly stroked the other party's bent back, hoping that these could give her a little warmth.
The crying continued for a while, slowly turning to sobbing.
Luo Wanbai's crying sentence was a little incomplete, "I, I broke up with Cheng Jun......"
There was no need for Murong Qiao to ask, she herself cried and cried and said everything like pouring beans.
Including how she saw Cheng Jun pestering Murong Qiao, and then told herself about breaking up without hesitation, all of which made Luo Wanbai say it clearly.
Murong Qiao didn't expect that Luo Wanbai was at the scene at that time, and this kind of thing happened with Cheng Jun.
"I'm just, I just don't think there's any point in living." She cried sadly.
After Cheng Jun finished saying that he broke up, Luo Wanbai left the banquet.
She couldn't remember how she got to the river, she just felt that her mind was muddy, and her thoughts had become countless flying fragments mixed together, which made her headache and sadness, and tears couldn't stop flowing.
She didn't understand why things ended up the way they did.
Obviously, everything was good at the beginning, but now that the Luo family has fallen, and his father's current career has plummeted and is being suppressed by others, Luo Wanbai has a weak heart, so he can only watch his father's back bend day by day, and spend his days buried in wine.
She was painful and embarrassed in her heart, and Cheng Jun's proposal to break up today immediately made Luo Wanbai's eyes dark, and the whole person was filled with despair.
Luo Wanbai's words were confused, "My brain hurts so much...... As long as you die, as long as you die......"
Murong Qiao frowned, standing beside her and listening to Luo Wanbai's nonsense.
"That knocked you out?" She scoffed.
Seeing that Luo Wanbai, who was once arrogant and made things difficult for herself, suddenly became like this, and wanted to end her life in such a way, Murong Qiao only felt that she was a fool.
Luo Wanbai cried and shook his head, tears flowing uncontrollably on his cheeks.
"Woo......"
Those emotions that she thought were okay and even forgotten by herself suddenly emerged from the corners of her heart, wrapping Luo Wanbai's whole person in an impenetrable airtight manner, making it difficult for her to breathe.
"I, I'm just- hiccup."
Luo Wanbai was said by Murong Qiao, and couldn't help but open his mouth to defend himself.
She wanted to say that it wasn't like this, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she burst into tears and hiccuped and blocked back what she was about to say.
Murong Qiao stood beside him, "What are you only?" Crying so ugly, it really makes me doubt that you are still not the eldest lady of the Luo family. β
She deliberately had a thorn in her words, and she didn't think about squatting down to comfort the other party.
Showing sympathy will only make the other person cry more fiercely. And Murong Qiao felt that his relationship with Luo Wanbai was not so close.
Although she and Luo Wanbai used to deal with each other very well, Murong Qiao couldn't watch the other party give up his life like this.
"I'm the eldest lady of the Luo family." She instinctively resisted.
Hearing Murong Qiao's thorny words, the resistance that Luo Wanbai had not lost suddenly appeared.
She hurriedly said, wanting to prove something, she raised her head suddenly, but after looking at Murong Qiao's cold eyes, she stopped talking again.
That's right, she's the eldest lady of the Luo family.
Luo Wanbai reacted consciously, pursed her lips and slowly stood up from the ground, allowing herself to be at the same height as Murong Qiao.
"Okay?" Murong Qiao looked at her, "When you are sober, live well, don't have nothing to do to stimulate yourself." β
There is only one life, and Murong Qiao, as a person who has lived a new life, is deeply touched by this, and at the same time, he also cherishes that he can have the opportunity to do it again.
Therefore, when she said this, it was rare to soften her tone a little, but it was still very cold and hard in Luo Wanbai's ears.
Perhaps because of the surging emotions at this moment, Luo Wanbai was keenly aware of the awkward help hidden in Murong Qiao's words.
Although it sounded quite harsh, Murong Qiao's words did make him feel a lot better, and his mood was not as heavy as just now, and he wanted to commit suicide.
"Thank you." She wiped her tears and thanked Murong Qiao softly.
After crying for so long, Luo Wanbai's original thoughts gradually faded, and his mind became much clearer.
Her voice changed when she cried, and her voice was a little hoarse.
Seeing this, Murong Qiao took out the paper towel in his pocket and handed it to her, which was the only paper towel that survived after entering the water just now because of its height.
Luo Wanbai was not embarrassed, probably because he knew that his embarrassed appearance at this time had already made Murong Qiao see it clearly, so there was nothing to be hypocritical when wiping his tears.
The idea of suicide just now was true, but when she walked into the water and was pulled back, and found that the person who saved her was Murong Qiao, the sadness and grievances in her heart, as well as the accident, were also true.
Luo Wanbai was silent for a moment before speaking, "I'm sorry." β
She apologized simply, so that Murong Qiao, who was still thinking about whether to let Luo Wanbai go home by herself later, almost didn't keep up with the other party's train of thought.
"Huh?" Murong Qiao made a puzzled voice, as if he didn't expect Luo Wanbai to suddenly mention this.
Luo Wanbai took a deep breath, "I also had a bad attitude towards you like that before, and ...... In short, it's my fault. β
"I'm sorry, Murong Qiao."
Luo Wanbai has never been so sober.
She now remembered the things she had done to Murong Qiao, and deliberately made things difficult for the other party, etc., and now she thought about it, and she only had apologies left in her heart.
"I shouldn't have done that to you, now, now I'm to blame for all this." She bowed her head and smiled wryly admitting her previous mistakes.
Looking back on everything in the past, Luo Wanbai only felt that he had been very ridiculous to be angry with Murong Qiao or others, and it was not his own problem to fall into the current situation?
She was wrong, from the beginning.
