Chapter 344 -225
“Also, I met Uncle Xu Jie. From him, I learned some of the stories between you back in the day. That might not be the whole picture, but it sounded like there were quite a few regrets between you two.”
“I don’t know if you ever blamed him for leaving without a word, but he was actually on a secret mission all those years. The letter you wrote to him after Wenyan was born was sent to his house.”
“Unfortunately, he had a good-for-nothing friend who was blinded by greed. That scumbag saw the money you sent and secretly opened the letter, never giving it back to him. It wasn’t until a few days ago that this old incident came to light again.”
“Also, during his mission, he was severely injured in an explosion. But luckily, the police caught the bad guys, and he was successfully rescued.”
“The regrettable part is, his face was disfigured. He has changed beyond recognition. If I hadn’t seen the photo of the two of you he kept treasured in his watch, I wouldn’t have known how much Wenyan resembles him. He was so handsome when he was young, Auntie, you had such good taste. If only you hadn’t left so early. No, I should say, if only you two hadn’t separated.”
“However, time can’t be turned back, these are all things that have happened. Today, besides coming to see you, I actually have another thing I’m uncertain about. That is, I don’t know how to deal with the relationship between him and me. What would Wenyan do?”
At this point, Wenyan took a deep breath: “When I first came to this world, I tried deliberately to separate myself from the original Wenyan. But later I realized that I am now her; the her of the past is also a part of the me now.”
“Well, after saying so much it seems I still don’t know what to do. Auntie, no, I should call you Mom Wen. Mom Wen, if you have found Wenyan over there, if you are willing to guide me on this matter, would you please send me a dream?”
“I will come to see you again when I have time. Oh right, I promised Uncle Xu that if I found your resting place, I would tell him the address, so he might come to see you soon. I’m leaving now.”
Wenyan took a wet wipe from her bag, carefully cleaned the dust off the tombstone, and then stood up.
When she turned around, she saw Shen Jingxiu at the bottom of the stairs.
Shen Jingxiu was also looking at her.
His gaze was profound and resolute, as if he had been standing there motionless.
If Wenyan had been slightly hesitant and wavering just before, she suddenly found a sense of security now.
She waved to Shen Jingxiu down the stairs, her face breaking into a smile again.
As she descended the stairs, Wenyan moved quickly, with Shen Jingxiu stretching out his hand from several steps away.
“Take it slow, watch your step, don’t rush.”
Wenyan shrank her neck: “It’s too cold, I want to get back to the car quickly.”
“Then wait here for me, I’ll bring the car over.”
“No need for that, I can still walk this little distance by myself. I’m just cold, not frozen stiff, big brother.”
Shen Jingxiu chuckled softly, but quickened his pace imperceptibly.
The car was still running, and as soon as Wenyan got in, she immediately came back to life.
“It’s so warm, and I’m hungry. Are you hungry? Let’s find a place to eat first.”
Shen Jingxiu lifted his wrist to check the time on his watch; it was already past three in the afternoon.
The cemetery was located in the suburbs; by the time they’d reach an area with restaurants, it would probably be past four, just in time for an early dinner.
“Okay. Let’s eat first, and then I’ll have the driver come and take you home.”
“Have the driver take me home? What about you?” Wenyan was puzzled, looking curiously at Shen Jingxiu, “Aren’t you coming back with me after dinner? Isn’t it the weekend, do you have other matters to attend to?”
Seeing Wenyan pressing for an answer, Shen Jingxiu responded truthfully.
“While I was waiting for you just now, I got a phone call, I have to go to the police station. It’s about Xu Jie.”
“Then I want to go too! Is it because of the background check you asked someone to do on him, has there been a result?”
“Yes, the other party told me it’s not clear over the phone, so they asked me to go over when I have time.”
“Then I’m going too.”
Shen Jingxiu gave Wenyan a look: “Is it convenient for you with your identity?”
“Convenient, if what you’re referring to is my so-called celebrity status, then it’s actually not inconvenient at all. The police won’t be gossiping like some reporters. And if I don’t want to be recognized, I can just wear a mask and a hat.”
