Ling limu flew back alone. In the evening, he, Zuo Li, and Mo Zihao were drinking at a roadside stall.
“Boss, another case of wine!”
Mo Zihao opened three bottles of wine happily and pushed one of the bottles in front of Ling Limu. “Limu, your honeymoon with xiyao has come to an end? Well, you’re so generous. You Didn’t forget to treat your brothers to a drink.”
Ling limu picked up the bottle. His wavy bangs covered his deep black eyes. He took a sip indifferently and said, “I’m Leaving Tomorrow.”
What?
Zuo Li and Mo Zihao also took a sip of wine. The two of them looked at him and said, “Leaving? Where are you going? You still want to go on a trip with junior xiyao? Enough, you guys are showing off your love endlessly.”
The two of them giggled and looked very happy.
Ling limu curled his thin lips and smiled faintly, “I’m very happy to meet you guys this year. I don’t have many friends and I’m very happy to be with you guys. In the future… I don’t know when I’ll be able to see you again. Oh right, I’ll send my Granny to the Best Welfare Institute. If you have time, go and see my granny and talk to her more.”
Zuo Li and Mo Zihao’s hands that were holding the wine glasses stiffened. They suddenly realized that something was wrong with Ling limu tonight. “Limu, what’s wrong with you? Why do you keep talking nonsense like you’re going through life and Death?”
“That’s right, limu. Where are you going? Why did you send your granny to the Welfare Institute all of a sudden? Your Granny is already so old. You should accompany her and be filial to her.”
Zuo Li and Mo Zihao had a bad premonition. Ling limu was a deep and reserved person who would arrange everything properly. Now that he said these words, it was as if he was giving orders for his funeral.
At this moment, there was a ‘ding’. A message had arrived.
Ling limu looked down at her phone. It was a message from ASA — limu, have you thought about it? We really can’t leave you. Come back quickly. From now on, you’ll Be Asa’s Big Brother.., that Little Beauty Xi Yao is our sister-in-law. We’ll definitely respect her.
Looking at this message, Ling Limu’s dark eyes didn’t have any ripples. He replied — Okay.
Putting his phone into his trouser pocket, Ling Limu took his coat and stood up. “Enjoy your meal. I’ll be leaving first.”
Ling Limu’s handsome and cold figure slowly disappeared into the cold night.
..
The Bentley stopped at the foot of the residential area. Ling Limu went upstairs and pushed open the door of the apartment.
It was already very late, but the hall of the apartment was still lit by the dim yellow light, making it look very warm.
The old woman was still awake. She put on a coat and sat on the sofa in the living room. She said lovingly, “Ah Mu, you’re back?”
Ling limu changed his shoes and walked forward. He slowly knelt down on one knee in front of the old woman. Then, he held the old woman’s hand that was full of calluses and called out softly, “Old Woman, I’m sorry. I might have to leave for a while.”
“I opened that Welfare Institute for you. There’s a charity fund under the name of the Welfare Institute and there are specialized people managing it. Therefore, everyone in there is one of us. They will treat you very, very well.”
The granny stroked Ling Limu’s head. Although Ling Limu had already grown up and was 20 years old, in the Granny’s eyes, he was still a child.
“Alright, I’ll listen to Mu. Don’t worry, Granny. I’ll eat well and sleep well. I’ll wait for you to come back.”
“No matter how long it takes, I’ll wait for you. I’ll always leave a lamp for you in the dark. You have to remember the way home.”
The Granny had always been so loving and peaceful. Although she was already old and would get older and older, not knowing how much longer she could accompany Ah Mu, as long as she was there, she would be so tenacious, brave, and warm to accompany Ah Mu.
Ling Limu’s deep black eyes were slightly red. He reached out and gently hugged the old lady.
The old lady hugged him for a very, very long time. “Ah Mu, what about Yaoyao?”
Ling limu froze.
He was silent for a very long time. Because of his silence, the apartment fell into an inexplicable silence. Then, he slowly curled his thin lips and said in a low voice, “Old lady, I’m very selfish, right?”
“Actually, from the moment I joined Asa a year ago, I knew my ending. My rationality told me over and over again to stay away from her, not to look at her, not to treat her well, and to reject all the temptations that came from her. Because, I couldn’t afford such a beautiful her.”
“But, I lost control. I couldn’t control myself at all. I got together with her and even married her.”
“I’ve been so happy during this period of time. I’ve never been so happy in my entire life. It was like a beautiful dream that I didn’t want to wake up from.”
“But now that I’ve woken up, I have my own path to walk. I have to separate from her.”
“I’ve already taken away so many beautiful things from her. How can I ask her to wait for me in the most beautiful part of her life?”
“Granny, I’ve been working hard. I’ve been working really hard. I like her so much and I want to be with her forever, but… But…”
Ling limu buried his handsome face in Granny’s arms in pain.
Granny quickly hugged him tightly. He had always been a mature young man who would shoulder everything on his own. It was only at this moment, when he was facing Fu Xiyao, that girl, that he would finally give up everything, he revealed his soft, fragile, powerless, and painful side.
“The old woman knows, the old woman knows… Yaoyao is such a beautiful girl, and we owe her…”
Ling Limu’s eyes were bloodshot, and the redness in them seeped into his pupils. He clenched his fists so tightly that his joints were turning white.
He felt a heart-wrenching pain.
Yaoyao..
His Fu Xiyao.
..
The Gu family in the capital.
The LCD TV in the living room was broadcasting a major piece of news. The host was switching between Chinese and English,
– this morning, someone submitted all the evidence regarding Asa’s crimes over the years. All of ASA’s computer databases were cracked, and all of Asa’s personnel were arrested.
– this extremely arrogant and evil organization was finally exposed under the sun today. They would be severely punished by law!
Fu Qinglun looked at this piece of news and his handsome eyebrows sank.
At this moment, Gu Yilin came to Fu Qinglun’s side with a glass of water in his hand, “Uncle Fu, Yaoyao likes this ling limu very well. I didn’t expect Asa to lose to him. However, he will be facing a legal trial soon. I don’t know how long he will be locked up for. Three years, five years, or maybe even ten years.”
“I think Yaoyao is deeply in love with this ling limu. Yaoyao will probably wait for Ling limu to come out. However, the most beautiful part of a girl’s life is no longer there.”
Fu Qinglun’s handsome brows furrowed tightly.
At this moment, a soft voice rang in his ears, “Daddy, Brother Yilin.”
