74: Yu who misses

Jiang Li looked at the woman before her, who possessed an incredibly dazzling appearance, yet her temperament was gentle and soft.

It was as if she had lost her color; she seemed to be in a state of exhaustion, yet one could still see a glimmer of light in her eyes.

“Godmother, I am Lili.”

Shen Yuan looked at the person supporting her; she knew of this daughter-in-law.

However, she had been on a plane at the time, about to land in South Africa, so she hadn't returned. She just hadn't expected to run into her here.

“Godmother, are you feeling unwell anywhere?”

Shen Yuan shook her head. “No, don't worry. I just look a bit frail, it's nothing.”

“Godmother, let's go sit over there for a while. Qi Qi will be over in a moment.”

“Alright.”

On Fu Xiangqi's side, he looked at the man; seeing his eyes darting around, he knew the man had a guilty conscience.

“Meng Wenrui.”

Meng Wenrui had been nearby and was naturally drawn to the situation. Hearing President Fu call him, he immediately appeared. “President Fu.”

If he performed well, he might be able to return home and wouldn't have to keep watch here anymore.

Who could understand? He was crying on the inside. He had made a mistake and was sent here by the boss to supervise mining; his skin had even tanned lately.

He wondered if his younger brother would even recognize him when he returned.

“Take him to the police! If he's injured, go to the hospital; we aren't short on money.”

The man could also tell that Fu Xiangqi wouldn't let him off, so he immediately tried to flee. Seeing this, how could Meng Wenrui allow it?

If you run away, how can I go back home to see my beloved brother!

Fu Xiangqi trusted Meng Wenrui's skills. “Meng Wenrui, return home next month.”

“Yes, President Fu.”

Hearing this, Meng Wenrui immediately perked up.

He took the man down the mountain to the police station.

The surrounding people, seeing the matter end so quickly, dispersed.

Fu Xiangqi came to where Jiang Li and Shen Yuan were resting, only to find the two of them chatting and laughing.

“What are you two talking about? Let me hear?”

Shen Yuan truly loved this godson. After all, she and A-Yu... “Nothing much, just saying how mature you were when I first met you. Paired with that baby face, it looked hilarious no matter how you looked at it.”

Fu Xiangqi heard this and said, “Godmother, I was being 'cool,' okay! That's not the same as being mature.”

“Yes, yes, yes, whatever you say.”

In the end, the few of them had a very happy time.

They watched the sunset and then headed back.

Shen Yuan was already so tired that she fell asleep in the car.

Jiang Li felt a bit of heartache looking at the woman whose eyes were filled with wrinkles.

She had heard Qi Qi talk about Godmother Shen Yuan's past.

Godmother Shen Yuan had a lover named Zhai Yu.

Zhai Yu was a painter who loved painting. His greatest wish was to go to the most beautiful places in the world and paint the scenery.

The two had originally made a promise, but that very night, Zhai Yu's stepmother, for the sake of Father Zhai's assets, plotted to have Zhai Yu get into a car accident.

She just hadn't expected the accident to happen at a bend in the mountain road.

Zhai Yu and the car plummeted straight down the cliff.

The person paid to do it had only intended to cause an accident, not to kill anyone.

Seeing the car below already on fire, they fled in terror.

But Zhai Yu hadn't lost consciousness yet; he had managed to crawl out by sheer willpower. If someone had called the police or an ambulance, Zhai Yu would have been fine.

However, in the end, the car exploded, causing rocks to fall from the mountain, leaving that world-renowned young painter there forever.

The next day, when Shen Yuan received the call, she couldn't handle the shock and fainted immediately.

Seeing this, Father and Mother Shen immediately rushed her to the hospital.

When she woke up again, she went straight to the underground morgue barefoot.

Because Father and Mother Shen had come to this hospital, which happened to be where the ambulance had gone.

Looking at Zhai Yu's body, everyone felt it was a pity.

He had clearly escaped the car, only to be crushed by a rock and die from excessive blood loss.

Looking at the person in the morgue, Shen Yuan's tears instantly became uncontrollable.

“A-Yu, A-Yu, please don't play with me like this, okay? Please wake up. Answer me, A-Yu, I'm scared... A-Yu!”

Shen Yuan couldn't accept it and eventually cried until she fainted.

Father and Mother Shen realized their daughter was missing and immediately went to find her, eventually finding her in the morgue.

The Zhai Family was also considered a wealthy family.

Father Zhai fainted upon hearing the news, and when he woke up and saw his son's body, he suffered a heart attack.

He was rushed into the operating room.

That insane mother and son duo actually ended up killing Father Zhai.

Seeing that no one was left in the Zhai Family, all the assets fell to the two of them.

There wasn't a hint of sadness on their faces.

The two prepared to settle the funeral for the father and son as quickly and cheaply as possible.

Seeing this perfunctory funeral, Shen Yuan directly kicked the two of them out.

Father and Mother Shen, seeing their daughter's state, were also very satisfied with Zhai Yu as a son-in-law, but fate was cruel.

Seeing their daughter's grief, they followed Father Zhai's wishes and donated all the assets.

The insane mother and son returned home to find a group of people moving things out.

They immediately rushed forward. “What are you doing? This is my house!”

“Madam Zhai, according to President Zhai's will, these are all donations.”

“Impossible, how come I didn't know about any will?”

Having finished handling the funeral, Shen Yuan arrived at the Zhai residence. Hearing the words of Zhai Yu's stepmother, she sneered, “That's because you didn't know Uncle Zhai had already made a will long ago.”

“You little bitch, it's you, isn't it?”

Shen Yuan looked at her state and realized why Zhai Yu never spoke of family matters.

After reaching adulthood, he stopped taking a single cent from the family.

With her around, how could life be any good?

Uncle Zhai was a good man, but his kindness led to bad consequences.

He never expected that the person he brought in would be so malicious.

Sirens wailed as several police officers entered the door and immediately arrested the stepmother and her 'good' son.

Shen Yuan felt the air become fresh.

She went to Zhai Yu's bedroom and looked at his most treasured sketchbook. Opening it, she saw it was filled with drawings of herself.

Seeing this, Shen Yuan's tears became even more uncontrollable, falling one by one like pearls.

Realizing she was getting the drawings wet, she hurriedly used a tissue to dab them dry.

“Can't get them dirty, this is the last thing A-Yu left me, can't get them dirty, can't get them dirty.”

In the end, Shen Yuan left carrying that sketchbook.

Later, for reasons unknown, she married the Fu Family's young master at the time, Fu Youchi... At the villa shared by Jiang Li and Fu Xiangqi,

The car stopped, and Shen Yuan woke up. “We're here?”

“Yes, Godmother, we're here. Let's get out of the car!”

“Alright.”

Shen Yuan got out of the car with Jiang Li's support. Meng Wenrui had also prepared the room early on.

Coming to South Africa this month was to fulfill Zhai Yu's wish.

After all, Zhai Yu wanted to see the most beautiful sights in the world and paint them.

Shen Yuan didn't know how to paint, but she knew how to take photos. So, every time she traveled, she would take photos and upload them to her social platform.

Shen Yuan's account name: Longing for Yu

Because the photos were beautifully taken and very atmospheric, the account quickly became popular.
