In the end, He Cairong was caught. The police came to deal with the accident, but they were unable to convict He Cairong.
Because she was scared out of her mind.
Si Qingqing's death stimulated her. When she was imprisoned in a mental hospital, she was still trembling and said, "It's not me."
Mu Ning felt sad and regretful.
The tragedy is that in the end, He Cairong did not care about Si Qingqing's death, but whether he had killed anyone.
Her daughter is dead, shouldn't it be her daughter's name that she calls out?
But she never looked at her daughter, and she still wanted to shirk responsibility!
He Cairong is greedy for life, afraid of death, and selfish. She is not worthy of being a mother.
At the same time, Mu Ning was also feeling sorry for Si Qingqing's death.
Although Si Qingqing had evil thoughts about Gu Zhiyin, her crime would not lead to death.
She remembers her grandfather's kindness to her and wants to protect her grandfather at all costs.
She is a girl with a good nature, but in such a harsh environment, she developed a submissive and cowardly character.
Being accused, humiliated, beaten and scolded by his parents... If it were Mu Ning, he would have been driven crazy!
However, until the end, Si Qingqing was still calling He Cairong "Mom" and begging He Cairong to let her grandfather go.
This was probably the only time she mustered up the courage to resist her mother.
Mu Ning scattered Si Qingqing's ashes in the Spring River.
I hope she can be as free as the river in her next life.
…
The next day, when Gu Zhiyin woke up, Mu Ning told him these things.
Gu Zhiyin was silent for a long time after listening.
Mu Ning sat beside the hospital bed and peeled an apple, and found that he was very quiet, "Why don't you speak?"
Gu Zhiyin came back to his senses and looked at her hand holding the knife, "Isn't the story already finished?"
Oh, he just thought he was listening to a story.
"When you listen to my story, at least express your opinion, right?"
Gu Zhiyin was worried that she might get it on her hands, so he brought a knife and an apple to help her peel it, "This story has an ending. Even if I have personal thoughts, it doesn't make much sense if I speak them out."
Mu Ning looked at his fair and clean hand holding the knife, turning it against the apple skin, cutting it quickly and well.
She said: "But if I had given money at that time, would these three lives of the Si family not have died? Then would the result today be different?"
Mu Ning still felt sad and confused when he thought about it.
Gu Zhiyin raised his head and glanced at her, "Everyone has their own ending, Ning Ning, don't imagine what if."
"But...three million is really nothing to me..."
Mu Ning muttered to himself, "Why didn't I give it to you then?"
The next second, a piece of apple was stuffed into her mouth.
"Well."
Mu Ning stared blankly at the dissatisfied man.
"Don't think about it, Ning Ning. When you are by my side, you are not allowed to think about anything else except me."
It's not her fault, Gu Zhiyin doesn't want to see her fall into self-blame.
Mu Ning chewed the apple and swallowed it, "Gu Zhiyin, why are you so domineering..."
Just as she was about to speak, another piece was stuffed in her mouth.
"Eat your food and don't talk."
Mu Ning's eyes widened and his cheeks bulged, "Gu Zhiyin, this is cut for you to eat... ugh!"
Mu Ning's chin was clasped by a big hand, and the man's overly handsome face came over and bit her lips.
Licking her lips, then reaching inside. She still had an apple in her mouth and he licked it.
Mu Ning's face turned red when he kissed her, and her breath was so uneven that she wanted to choke.
Gu Zhiyin let go of her slightly and looked at her red cheeks, wondering why he still blushed after kissing her so many times.
He pinched Mu Ning's baby-fat cheek.
"If Apple can't silence you, I'll have to find something else."
After saying that, he continued to kiss her lips.
…
Xia Tian's body was prone to decay and had to be buried immediately. Mu Ning contacted the funeral team and held a grand burial ceremony for his grandfather so that he could go away with dignity.
At the funeral, Mu Ning held her grandfather’s favorite platycodon flowers and stared at the black-and-white photo of her grandfather in silence.
Her eyes were sore, but she couldn't cry. The deep sadness was stuck in her heart.
She finally found a relative who loved her, but it only took a short moment for her to leave her forever.
But the past few days she spent with her grandfather were vivid in her mind.
Grandpa's eyes were full of love and kindness when he looked at her; his palms when he touched her head were generous and warm; every word that grandpa said to her was for her own good.
She never imagined that that look in the hospital would mean goodbye forever.
Grandpa said angrily that he wanted to sleep, and he actually fell asleep.
Why does fate play tricks on people like this? It took so long for her to feel the happiness of having a family, but she tore it to pieces before she could hold it in her hands.
Can't you...let her enjoy it for a little longer?
She tasted the feeling of gaining and losing, it was bitter and despairing.
"Ning Ning, it's time for us to leave." Gu Zhiyin gathered her wind-tossed hair and looked at the dim sky in the distance.
Mu Ning took a deep breath, placed the platycodon flower in front of the tombstone, and bowed to his grandfather, "Grandpa, I buried you and grandma together. With grandma by your side, you will no longer be alone. I hope you will Continue to be a loving couple underground."
This is my hometown in the countryside, with mountains, rivers, and endless fields. My grandparents are buried here together, quietly and without being disturbed.
Gu Zhiyin held Mu Ning's hand and looked at the old man's photo on the tombstone, "Grandpa, you can go in peace. I will bring Ning Ning back to see you when I have time."
Mu Ning looked up at Gu Zhiyin, his side face shrouded in the warm orange light of the setting sun.
Some feelings suddenly welled up in her heart, so she turned around and hugged his waist, gently snuggling into his arms.
Gu Zhiyin was startled and looked down at the little woman in his arms, "What's wrong?"
"No, I just want to hug you for a while."
Mu Ning was attached to his breath and couldn't help but hug him tighter, but suddenly heard the sound of inhalation.
"What's wrong?"
She immediately raised her head and saw that his face was pale, "Did I rub against your injury?"
Sensing that she was about to let go, Gu Zhiyin immediately held her back and whispered, "No."
Mu Ning knew that he was being harsh, and he must have been injured just now.
She circled her hands and touched them, keeping them far away from his wounds.
They cuddled up against each other quietly, with a few poplar trees nearby rustling in the dusk wind.
Dusk gradually fell.
Gu Zhiyin took her and walked along the country path to the road.
Suddenly a group of people appeared and intercepted them halfway.
Mu Ning frowned and looked at the handsome man, "Luther, what do you want to do?"
Luther walked out of several bodyguards and said, "Come home with me, Nicole. The people from the Killer Alliance have discovered your existence, and they will definitely send people to hunt you down."
"Will they stop killing me if I go back with you?" Mu Ning said coldly, "As far as I know, the people who want my life are in your family!"
"Smart." Luther smiled gracefully, "Edging is not an option. Nicole, you can only be safe if you come home with me, inherit everything your father has, and eradicate that person's influence completely."
Mu Ning was silent for a moment, "Mr. Luther, I think what you said makes sense."
