Chapter 92

Then let's go out and talk.

Zihan told Cheng Li, really dragging him out to chat.

Yu Ke was at a loss for words.

When the wedding began, Mrs. Chu and Mr. Chu had also changed their clothes; Mr. Chu wore a suit, and Mrs. Chu wore an elegant long dress.

They both looked quite young.

Yu Ke was also pleased; they still regarded her marriage as a matter.

As Yu Ke was escorted by Mrs. Chu and Mr. Chu down the red carpet, Bai Xu approached from the opposite side alone.

Zihan felt uncomfortable seeing that Bai Xu had no one with him, but as friends they couldn't walk with him.

There weren't many guests at the wedding; on Bai Xu's side there were only these few friends of theirs.

Yu Ke's side still had some relatives, as well as friends of Mrs. Chu and Mr. Chu.

Liuli was attending her first wedding; she felt that watching Yu Ke made her even more nervous than Yu Ke herself.

Yu Ke hadn't even started crying when Mrs. Chu and Mr. Chu began to cry.

At the moment they handed Yu Ke over to Bai Xu, Mrs. Chu and Mr. Chu broke down.

They felt that once they gave their daughter to someone else, she would never return, as if they would never see her again.

Seeing them cry, Yu Ke instead mocked them; although she had been feeling a bit upset, as soon as she saw them crying she inexplicably wanted to laugh.

Especially seeing Mrs. Chu cry, she just wanted to laugh at her—her usual haughty demeanor could also break into tears, which Yu Ke found hilarious.

It was funny, but she also understood that although they bickered, they ultimately cared for each other and couldn't bear to part.

They just didn't know how to express it.

Gu Die previously had no desire for marriage, nor had he ever imagined wanting to hold a wedding.

But after meeting Liuli, he wanted to hold a wedding, simply wanting to give her one.

If not for what happened last time, this wish of his would already have been fulfilled.

Zihan watched Yu Ke's wedding, also daydreaming about what his own future marriage would be like.

Now all that's left is for Cheng Li to propose to her; it's fine even if he doesn't, as long as he lets her marry him, she will.

The wedding ended in a flurry of activity; only at the end did Yu Ke start to cry.

Her tear points, and the timing of her tears, were different from others'.

When Mrs. Chu and Mr. Chu cried, she didn't want to cry; she felt like laughing.

After they finished crying, she started crying again.

"Yu Ke, why are you crying now? You were fine just a moment ago."

Zihan couldn't help but ask.

"I feel awful…"

"Don't cry; if you keep crying, your parents will feel awful again."

Zihan and Liuli pulled Yu Ke to sit down.

Yu Ke was crying so miserably she paid no attention to what they were saying.

She glanced at Mrs. Chu and Mr. Chu, then continued crying.

"Honey, don't cry."

Bai Xu wiped Yu Ke's tears.

"If you keep crying your makeup will run, you crybaby."

Zihan said.

"I'm not a crybaby…"

"Okay, you're not; stop crying, later we can still eat something good—we can go have hot pot, you like hot pot, don't you?"

"You're treating?"

"I'm treating, will you go?"

"But there are still guests who haven't left."

Yu Ke was still sober, not being coaxed by Zihan; Zihan was just trying to distract her from crying.

"Then we can go tonight instead; that works too."

"We agreed—tonight you have to treat."

"I'll treat; it's no big deal—you're getting married today, I'm happy!"

Zihan laughed.

Cheng Li didn't understand why Yu Ke was happy about her marriage; if she ever got married herself, would she also be happy?

"Okay, then I'll save it for tonight to eat."

Yu Ke replied.

Bai Xu barely exchanged a few words with Yu Ke today, just chatting with Zihan, which left Bai Xu in a foul mood.

Today is his wedding to Yu Ke, yet she keeps chatting with others.

"Ze Yan, when you have time bring that girl over; I want to see her again."

Mrs. Chu said to Ze Yan; Ze Yan wasn't busy today, so he went to the Chu family to see Mrs. Chu and Mr. Chu.

He's always been idle, but he wants to keep himself busy; when he's busy he won't think about so many things.

Mrs. Chu was happy to see Ze Yan come, but she also wanted to see Liuli.

She always felt that seeing Liuli was like seeing Si Yun.

Very familiar, very familiar.

But Chu Feng had investigated Liuli, although there were many coincidences.

For example, Liuli was adopted by her grandmother when she was six, and Siyun got lost also at age six.

If Siyun were still around, she would be the same age as Liuli.

But Siyun and Liuli are quite unlike each other, just as Ze Yan thought.

Siyun isn't afraid of the dark, rain, or thunder—these are the opposite of Liuli.

Moreover, if Liuli were Siyun, she would also remember them.

She was six when she got lost, so she should remember everything; besides, Siyun has been smart since childhood, so it's impossible for her not to find them and return home.

They never even waited for Siyun's phone call.

Even if Liuli were Siyun, the only possibility would be that Liuli has amnesia and doesn't remember the past.

But how could she have amnesia? This is rare, and there are too many doubts that can't be resolved.

Gu Qing had visited the Chu family while he was alive; he knew his time was short, and the matter of Siyun was a wish he hadn't been able to fulfill before his death.

But he still owed an apology; he just never lowered his head to offer one.

Over the years he has felt regret and guilt, yet he never apologized.

He knows full well that even an apology to the Chu family might be useless, and he knows his mistake—how could a single apology possibly make up for it?

He also fears that the Chu family might not accept his apology; the main reason lies here.

He doesn't know when—maybe someday, maybe the next minute, the next second—he might pass away.

He wants, while he still has breath, to come to the Chu family to apologize, even if they don't accept it.

Mrs. Chu and Mr. Chu have waited all these years, but they never received Gu Qing's apology.

Only Gu Die has apologized many times.

But each time he was driven out by the Chu family; back then, nobody wanted to see anyone from the Gu family.

In the Chu household, nobody dared mention the Gu family.

Mrs. Chu and Mr. Chu clearly know that Gu Die has nothing to do with this, so if they hate anyone, it can only be Gu Qing.

They can only blame themselves; the Gu family is powerful and influential, and they have no way to seek justice for Siyun.

If one day they become stronger than the Gu family, the first thing they would do is seek justice for Siyun.

Let Gu Qing apologize to Siyun and to their Chu family.

Mr. and Mrs. Chu thought they would never see Siyun again, nor would they ever get an apology from Gu Qing.

But, to those present, when Gu Qing came to the Chu family, they thought it impossible.

Moreover, Gu Qing actually apologized.

For so many years Gu Qing never came; this time, when he did, Mrs. Chu and Mr. Chu didn't drive him away—instead they wanted to see what he was up to.

But they never imagined that Gu Qing had come to apologize to them.

Gu Qing bowed deeply several times, his apology sincere.

This was completely unlike the Gu Qing they had seen before.

Gu Qing said, "I am sorry to Siyun and to the Chu family."

Because of his actions, they lost their daughter.

He also said that for all these years he has owed them an apology.

Mrs. Chu and Mr. Chu don't understand why he suddenly came to apologize.

They asked Gu Qing, and he answered truthfully, saying his body could no longer hold up, and he didn't know which day he would pass.

Apologizing to them is something he has always wanted to do.

But he fears they won't accept it; now, as a dying man, this is his only wish.

He is not afraid of being rejected or scolded or driven away by the Chu family; he must go apologize.

Otherwise he might never get another chance; although his knot isn't untied, at least he can loosen it a little.

Although the Chu family didn't accept his apology, he thinks that's normal—an apology is useless and can't make up for anything.

But he also wants to say that over these years, it's not just them looking for Siyun; Gu Die has been looking for Siyun too, and he himself has been searching for Siyun's whereabouts.

He doesn't ask the Chu family to forgive him; he only hopes Siyun will return safe and sound.

His greatest wish is for Siyun to be alive.

At Gu Qing's funeral, Mr. and Mrs. Chu came, but they merely stood in the doorway, took a glance, and left.

No one knew they had come; if anyone had known, it would have caused an uproar.

The two families are known throughout Luo Hai City as mortal enemies.

"Yes, this child—I feel fond of her the moment I see her."

Mr. Chu also said.

"When she has time, I'll bring her over."

Ze Yan knows Gu Qing has passed away, and also knows Liuli went today to attend Yu Ke's wedding.

So he didn't invite her out; the important thing is, he doesn't know what pretext to use to invite her out.

"Alright, stay here a while longer today, then go back tonight—you're not busy, right?"

Mrs. Chu asked.

"Not busy."

Ze Yan laughed, saying that every time he comes, Mrs. Chu and Mr. Chu always keep him, he feels this place is like his own home.

Ze Yan's parents and Siyun's parents are close friends; the two families have long been intertwined and get along very well.

Whenever Mr. and Mrs. Shen have time, they both come to visit He Yun and Chu Feng.

Ze Yan times his visits for when they aren't there, or when they are keeping Mrs. Chu and Mr. Chu company, so he doesn't have to worry.

"If you're not busy, then go back tonight."

Chu Feng also said to Ze Yan.

"Okay, then I'll go back later."

"Okay, let's have a proper meal and keep us two company chatting."

"Hmm." Ze Yan agreed.

"Did you guys go to Gu Qing's funeral?" He knew He Yun and Chu Feng had gone to Gu Qing's funeral, but he still couldn't help asking why.

"He previously came to apologize."

【126 apologize."

Mr. Chu replied.

"Him? How could he come to apologize?"

Ze Yan didn't think that someone like Gu Qing, who had done wrong and felt no regret, would come to apologize.

"Maybe he knew his time was short, so he came to apologize."
