Chapter 1295
The room fell into a dead silence for half a minute before Fu Shen Yan’s voice rang out again in a low tone, “She is the sister of a deceased friend of mine, I treated her as my own sister in consideration of old feelings, but she hurt your mother three times and touched the bottom line, we have already severed our enmity.”
The four seasons still did not speak, but it was clear from her expression that the words had been taken in.
Fu Shen Yan lifted his lips, his tone intriguing, “You don’t believe me?”
The four seasons finally shook their heads, “I believe.”
After a pause, she looked up at us again and added, “I will make her pay for what happened today.”
“Hmm.” Fu Shen Yan nodded slightly, then remembered something else and said carelessly, “Have your assistant transfer your schedule and accompany us on a trip to Jiangcheng tomorrow.”
“Okay.” Four Seasons blurted out, but after thinking about it, she felt it was not right and said with some concern, “But the clubhouse has just had such a big incident, and I’ve been away for so long, will I be ……”
Fu Shen Yan wiggled his index finger, “Their purpose has been achieved, there will be no more big moves for now, just go ahead and make arrangements.”
“Understood, I’m on my way.” Four Seasons finished, bent her upper body and closed the door to exit.
Only when the footsteps were far away did I nudge Fu Shen Yan’s arm and ask, “What are you doing back in Jiangcheng?”
Fu Shen Yan’s eyes were smiling and he played sloppy, “What do you think?”
The four seasons hadn’t lived in Jiangcheng for very long, and they didn’t remember anything yet, so they didn’t have much affection for things, so there was only one possibility left.
Muzi.
“It’s time to go and see her.” The heart seemed to be suddenly pressed with a huge stone, stifled, lowering his eyes and muttering to himself, “And grandpa, An Xin and the others have not even offered incense to grandpa yet.”
The people left behind in that part of Jiangcheng are all people who are important in my life.
When I think of these, I feel that the power of life is too small, the more I want to desperately grasp something, but instead it is like grasping a handful of sand, the harder I push, the faster I lose it.
The moment emotions come up, they are all written on his face.
Fu Shenyan reached out and swept me into his arms, his broad palms squeezing my shoulders soothingly twice, “They will only be happy if we are well.”
Although I knew he intended to enlighten me, I still couldn’t help but feel sentimental and pressed myself against his chest, sighing, “If I could, I would like to go back to the old days when everyone was fine, when we loved each other less, but they were safe and healthy, instead of just skimming through our lives in a hurry, leaving a light touch that scattered when the wind blew.”
Fu Shen Yan took a deep breath at his words, his chest heaving violently, “Then it seems you can only blame me.”
I got up from his arms and tilted my head to look at his bearded and green hidden chin, “Talking nonsense again, saying that it was agreed that everything caused by Murong Nanchuan would never be mentioned again, and you want to blame yourself and take it all on yourself again?”
“I’m not talking about that.” Fu Shen Yan lost his smile, his big hand pressed against the back of my head, pressing me back into his chest, his warm palm rubbing my hair with a single stroke, “It’s because I couldn’t love you any less.”
“But any less would not be what it is today.”
My heart suddenly calmed down, like a breeze blowing through, and many of the waves were smoothed out.
Perhaps he was right, there is a set destiny for life and death, for the human condition, and a little less, perhaps we wouldn’t be where we are today, still able to feel each other’s warmth and heartbeat in peace.
Chapter 1296
It was only after paying respects to the elders of the Fu family and her grandmother that we came to Muzi’s cemetery.
The black and white photograph on the tombstone, which had not been damaged in the slightest by several degrees of cold and heat, was of her at her best age.
Memories came flooding back, and I walked up, put down the flowers in my hand, squatted down smoothly, and reached out to touch the tombstone, as if that way, I could feel Muzi’s warmth.
“You must be blaming me in your heart for not visiting you for so long?” I looked at the photo and muttered uncontrollably to myself, “You ah, be good over there, don’t worry about me anymore, Fu Shen Yan was very good to me, we later had twins, very cute, you will love it when you see ……”
Speaking of children, only then did he look up at Four Seasons, “Four Seasons is also very good, she’s a maths genius, now she’s even starting her own business, she’ll definitely be a younger bar owner than you look in the future.”
I sucked in my nose to suppress my sobs and beckoned Four Seasons to come forward, “Come on Four Seasons, come forward a bit, let your Aunty Muzi have a good look at you, remember, I brought you here when you were little?”
“Remember.” Four Seasons nodded before walking across to me again and slowly putting down the white lily in her hand.
A rare gentle smile, faint but natural, appeared as he raised his eyes to the picture of Four Seasons, “Never forgot.”
It must have been comforting for Kimiko to hear this, even if she couldn’t live in Four Seasons’ memory as her mother, yet she was always held in her heart.
Perhaps it was a telepathic link between mother and daughter. After two seconds, Four Seasons unconsciously touched Muzi’s photo with her fingertips and said, somewhat lost in thought, “Mommy, don’t I look a lot like Auntie Muzi?”
“Resembles.” I blurted out, “It’s practically carved out of the same mould, when you were born, Auntie Muzi liked it so much that she even adopted you as her goddaughter, you have a destiny, it’s not even too much to call you mama.”
Muzi had that right and deserved to hear that name.
Of course, it was all up to Four Seasons’ wishes, I couldn’t try to force it, let alone sting it with memories; that past was too heavy for her tiny shoulders to bear.
Unexpectedly, Shiki did not resist, but accepted it with equanimity.
She looked at Muzi’s face, the smile on her face lingering for a long time, her voice gentle with a hint of caution, “Mummy, are you happy that Four Seasons has come to see you?”
She was answered by a long silence, but the image was heartwarming, mother and daughter repeating, and how fortunate it was that she was well.
Under the nine springs, Muzi’s soul could rest in peace.
At this moment, Fu Shen Yan, who had been standing next to her and had not spoken, suddenly spoke in a low voice.
“You’ve grown up and will soon be on your own, keeping the teacher who taught you around will be ridiculed as a child who can’t be weaned, I’ll do it for you, I’ve already dismissed Mr. Chen, the flight this afternoon, flying to Europe to settle down and won’t be back.”
Before I could react, Four Seasons suddenly stood up excitedly, looking flustered and torn in place.
When the accident at the clubhouse happened, she was able to keep her face unchanged, but now she had a deep furrow between her brows, her emotions all exposed from her face in a flash.
The situation lasted for several seconds before Four Seasons realised that Fu Shen Yan had been staring at her. The moment her eyes met, she was like a child caught in a prank, a moment of shock flashed in her eyes before she subconsciously and clumsily controlled her emotions.
