Chapter 156 This life... will always be like this...
Song Wan stammered, unable to utter a single word for a long time, as if someone were choking her.
She's completely speechless now, and really doesn't know how to explain herself...
The atmosphere became tense for a moment, with everyone secretly glancing at Liu Wei, as if waiting for her to make a statement.
After a moment, Liu Wei slowly spoke and asked:
"Since that's the case, as the parent who is most qualified to discipline Xiao Ran right now, I want to ask, is it okay for Xiao Ran to be with my son? Although my son's grades aren't very good yet, he's definitely genuinely good to Xiao Ran. Please give him a chance, okay?"
"Sure! Of course! I can see it too... Your son is outstanding, handsome, and has an extraordinary bearing. He's sure to have a bright future..."
Song Wan nodded repeatedly in agreement; how could she dare to say "no" now?
Liu Wei spoke politely on the surface, but she could tell that there was a threat in her words!
Although it wasn't very obvious, she could still tell from it...
If you refuse, you'll be met with much less polite words...
Hearing these words of praise, Zhou Heng's lips twitched. He thought to himself, "This person really changes his tune quickly."
Just now, when he heard that he was Yin Mengran's boyfriend, her eyes practically stabbed him...
At this moment, Liu Wei suddenly changed the subject and continued, "Then you just said... you wanted to take Xiao Ran abroad? Excuse me, is abroad really that good? Can you guarantee it's as good as China?"
"Well...I..."
"You mean... Xiao Ran can receive a better education abroad than she can in China? And enjoy a better life? Eat better and dress warmly? I don't think so. Tell me, what's the difference in living abroad?"
Liu Wei's words pressed on relentlessly, seemingly giving Song Wan no chance to breathe...
However, Song Wan wasn't someone who couldn't solve everything; she explained:
"No...you misunderstood. I didn't mean that at all. I just thought she was all alone here, with no one to take care of her. As her family, of course my first thought was to bring her with me and take care of her. I didn't think she would be better off abroad; it's just that I could take care of her..."
Song Wan's words drew scorn from both Zhou Heng and Tang Zhi.
Just now, the way she tried to take Yin Mengran away made it seem as if Yin Mengran had stepped into some filthy place.
People who hold this view generally also believe that things are better abroad than in China. Few people think this kind of thinking is actually quite pathetic.
Perhaps it's because she spends almost all her time abroad.
Liu Wei gave a soft snort, it was unclear whether she believed it or not, then she nodded and continued to ask:
"Since that's the case, you should have seen it by now, right? I'm taking good care of Yin Mengran now, and she's not worse off than before. So you don't need to take her abroad, do you?"
"Of course! You're right! With such a wonderful godmother like you... I can rest assured that Xiao Ran will be doing well..."
Song Wan quickly echoed, "How could she dare to take Yin Mengran abroad?"
She even wanted Yin Mengran to take her in and let her stay in the country!
Hearing this, Liu Wei finally relaxed her brows and nodded gently.
"Ah That's good."
As she spoke, she slowly raised her hand, her fingers holding the business card Song Wan had given her before she entered.
She only showed it briefly before withdrawing her hand and putting it in her pocket.
Seeing this, Song Wan felt a huge weight lifted from her heart and breathed a sigh of relief.
This should mean that their performance was not bad and that they will have more opportunities in the future.
If I hadn't performed well, I might have ended up tearing up the business card.
She really couldn't say what would happen then...
"Okay, let's eat."
Under Liu Wei's influence, everyone ate the meal together in a particularly harmonious manner.
There was no arguing, just normal conversation...
After finishing their meal, the group prepared to pay respects to Yin Mengran's parents, buying paper money and other offerings...
In the afternoon, guided by Yin Mengran, the group arrived at her parents' graves...
It was a hill far from the city, covered with many tombstones. Some of the graves were overgrown with weeds, suggesting that no one had visited in a long time.
Liu Wei and Song Wan followed behind Yin Mengran, their expressions grave...
Burying them here is really not a good idea...
However, they knew that even with Yin Mengran's abilities, she couldn't arrange a decent burial for her parents.
"Xiao Ran, I'll move your parents to a better cemetery, so that at least they can... be more comfortable."
Liu Wei spoke softly, watching Yin Mengran's retreating figure, her voice growing heavier with each step she took.
Yin Mengran didn't turn around, but replied softly:
"Thank you... but no, it's alright. Let them rest well, don't disturb them..."
The group arrived at two graves, the tombstones inscribed with names. These were the remains of Yin Mengran's parents.
At that moment, Song Wan was the first to shed tears.
He went straight up, knelt before a grave, and burst into tears:
"Sis... I'm late..."
Seeing this, Yin Mengran couldn't hold back either. Although she managed to lift her head in time, tears still streamed down her face uncontrollably...
She kept swallowing, trying not to make a sobbing sound.
"throat--"
Tears streamed down his face, and his throat bobbed incessantly; he looked deeply grieved...
Zhou Heng and Tang Zhi bit their lips and frowned. Seeing Yin Mengran like this, they really didn't know how to comfort her...
The pain of losing both parents is so intense that they can't even say goodbye to them.
They might have been having normal conversations and enjoying a happy family time before going to school in the morning.
But when they met again... they were already separated by death...
They could vaguely sense how desperate Yin Mengran must have felt at that moment.
Liu Wei stepped forward, hugged Yin Mengran, and whispered in her ear:
"Okay, baby, have a good talk with Mom and Dad. They must miss you a lot."
"Um..."
Yin Mengran nodded, then slowly knelt down, pursing her lips and trying to hold back her tears.
"Dad...Mom...I've come to see you...You...don't worry about me, I'm doing very well now. I have...a godmother who treats me like her own daughter, good friends who always think of me, and...the person I love most in this life..."
Zhou Heng lowered his head slightly, his face filled with sadness. Seeing Yin Mengran like this pained him deeply.
It was as if I could empathize with Yin Mengran at that moment.
At this moment, Liu Wei turned around and glanced at Zhou Heng, then patted his shoulder...
Zhou Heng glanced at his mother, then paused,
After a few seconds of eye contact, they nodded in understanding.
Then he slowly walked forward and knelt down next to his mother and Yin Mengran.
"Auntie... Uncle, hello, my name is Zhou Heng, I'm... Yin Mengran's boyfriend. Please don't worry... I will definitely treat her well, and for your sake too, for the rest of my life... it will always be like this..."
