In A City's Dongshan Cemetery, Shen Huaijun and Shi Jie were dressed in black and sunglasses. They stood in front of a tombstone carved with Shen Jue's grave. Shi Jie presented a bouquet of Shen Jue's favorite white lilies.
"Jun Er, wait for me in the car. I'll talk to your father for a while.”
"Alright." Shen Huaijun looked at his mother's frail body and felt very upset, but there was nothing he could do.
After Shen Huaijun had walked far away, Shi Jie's strong facade was finally gone. She fell to the side of Shen Jue's tombstone, tears streaming down uncontrollably. She touched Shen Jue's name as if he was still by her side.
"Brother Jue, I'm back. Your Jie 'er is back. Are you alright over there? You must blame me for leaving you alone in this cold place. I haven't come to see you for so many years. I miss you every moment of my life in Greece. I really want to come back, to a place where you are. But I'm more afraid of coming back. I'm afraid that I won't be able to see you, touch you, or hear your voice like this. So I can only escape to a place where you're not there and force myself to forget you. But do you know? The more I wanted to forget, the clearer your figure became. Brother Jue, why did you leave me alone, making me miss you so much, Brother Jue!”
Shi Jie cried out all the thoughts that she had been suppressing in her heart for the past few years in front of Shen Jue's tombstone. Shen Huaijun did not go far. He had always thought that his mother was a very strong person who had raised him alone. He did not expect his mother to be so fragile. Thinking about it, he did not care about his mother's inner thoughts for the past few years. He did not know if his choice back then was right to let her go to the distant Greece alone to recuperate.
"Brother Jue, our Jun 'er is managing the company very well. You can rest assured. He's also very handsome, just like you when you were young. However, I haven't fulfilled my responsibility as a mother. Until now, I haven't found a wife for him. This is also the only thing that I'm still worried about. You have to help our son find a girl he likes as soon as possible so that the Shen family can have a successor. Brother Jue, did you see our youngest son over there? What did he look like now? Was he as handsome as Jun 'er? You must take good care of him. We weren't by his side when he was born. I've been dreaming about him recently. He said that he was very lonely.”
With a heavy heart, Shen Huaijun returned to the car to wait for Shi Jie. Their family seemed to be from a wealthy family, but only they knew the bitterness of it. After sending Shi Jie home, Shen Huaijun went to the place that he frequented every week. He arrived at a highway in the suburbs of A City and drove up the mountain from a hidden path. The mountain road was very rugged. After turning a few corners, a villa appeared in front of him. Shen Huaijun drove straight in and got out of the car. He turned into the backyard of the villa in a very familiar manner. As soon as he stepped into the backyard, he heard an old voice."You're here?"
Shen Huaijun adjusted his mood and walked towards a person sitting in a wheelchair. He was Shen Huaijun's father, Shen Jue. Fifteen years ago, he was paralyzed from head to toe due to a car accident. He did not want Shi Jie to take care of him for the rest of his life, nor did he want others to laugh at him. Thus, he had Shen Huaijun announce to the public that he had died in the car accident while he hid in this villa deep in the mountains. He had been hiding for fifteen years.
"Dad, how have you been these past few days?”
"I'm already dead. There's nothing good about it. I'm just waiting for death here.”
Shen Huaijun's heart twitched. Every time he came to visit his father, there was an invisible pressure that made him unable to breathe.
"Um, Mommy is back." Shen Jue's originally expressionless face was also shocked at this moment. Shen Huaijun did not notice the change in his expression.
"Mom misses you very much. She even went to your grave today and said a lot to you. Dad, can't you tell Mom that you're still alive?”
"Get lost! I said I don't want to see anyone, have you forgotten? Or do you not want to hear my words?" Shen Jue shouted furiously at Shen Huaijun.
"Yes, you don't want to see anyone. Mom is your wife. You're clearly still alive. Why did you make you and Mom so miserable and make you suffer from lovesickness? This is unfair to you and even more unfair to Mom.”This was the first time Shen Huaijun had spoken so loudly to his father.
"Fair? What is fairness? From the moment I was knocked into this state, there was no such thing as fairness in my life. I'm just a dead man now, nothing else.”
"Dad!"
"You can go. I want to rest."
Chen Huaijun could only look at Chen Jue's sorrowful and determined eyes as he left the lonely villa dejectedly. It wasn't that he didn't understand his father's inner struggle, but seeing his father clearly miss his mother so much, yet he couldn't tell her that he was still alive. Why couldn't a loving family be together? Chen Huaijun felt an inexplicable sense of frustration. He stepped on the accelerator and sped away.
At night, Yin Zimo suddenly received a call from Shen Huaijun. He sounded like he was in a bad mood and was drinking alone at the bar. Mu Xiaomin wanted to go and see what was wrong with him, but a bar was not suitable for a pregnant woman like her. She could only stay at home and let Yin Zimo go alone.
The chauffeur sent Yin Zimo to the bar where Chen Huaijun was. When Yin Zimo pushed his wheelchair into the bar, Chen Huaijun was drinking alone in a corner of the bar. Yin Zimo rarely saw Chen Huaijun like this. It seemed that something unhappy must have happened to him today.
"Huaijun, drink less."
"Oh, it's Zimo. I'm sorry to call you out when it's inconvenient for you.”
"Don't be polite to me. What's the matter? Drinking alone here?"
"It's nothing. I just wanted to drink with you. Come, drink up.”Chen Huaijun raised the glass and handed it to Yin Zimo. Yin Zimo took the glass and did not drink it, but put it aside. He was undergoing rehabilitation treatment every day, so he could not drink. Moreover, Mu Xiaomin was especially sensitive to alcohol after she was pregnant. He did not want to go back and sleep on the sofa.
"Hey, how could I forget that you shouldn't drink now? Come, I'll help you drink.”Yin Zimo was about to stop him, but Chen Huaijun had already finished his drink.
"Zimo, if Little Min wasn't pregnant back then, would you really have abandoned her?”
Yin Zimo did not expect Chen Huaijun to suddenly ask this question." I don't know. At that time, I only had one thought. I was already a cripple and I didn't want to burden Little Min for the rest of her life.”
"So you have the same thoughts as that person. You two are really similar.”
"Who is that person? Is there anyone else who can't walk like me?”
Chen Huaijun did not admit or deny it. He picked up a glass of wine and poured it all into his mouth. Yin Zimo guessed that Chen Huaijun was unhappy tonight because of the " that person " he was talking about.
"Huaijun, if Little Min wasn't pregnant and didn't come to the hospital, would you really take her away?”
"Yes, I definitely will. Even if I know that she only has you in her heart, I will still take her away. Even if you don't want her now, I will still take her away.”
If any other man dared to say that he was taking his wife away, Yin Zimo would definitely beat him up. However, he was not angry at all when he heard it from Chen Huaijun. Instead, he felt very gratified.
"Since that's the case, why did you quit in the beginning? Why didn't he take her with him when he was in Italy?”
"Do you think I want to compete with you? Let me tell you, I've been dreaming about it, but there's always a voice reminding me that Mu Xiaomin is your woman and she's my brother's woman. Can I snatch my brother's woman? No, I can't!"
Yin Zimo did not expect Chen Huaijun to value him so much. For him, he was willing to give up his own happiness. Chen Huaijun, why are you so good to me, your enemy? How am I supposed to take revenge on you in the future?
"Okay, I understand. I'll treat her twice as well. I'll give her your share of kindness.”
"Yes, this is my good brother. If only that person could think like you.”Then came Shen Huaijun's sigh. Tonight, the two of them were destined to be annoyed to death by their own troubles!
