Chapter 1118

Late at night.

Yanjing.

Su Shoudao returned to his home with difficulty.

At this very moment, his mood was very complicated.

Just this evening, Su Ruoli's biological mother, He Yingxiu, came to see him at the Su Group.

As soon as the two met, He Yingxiu asked him about Su Ruoli's whereabouts anxiously.

However, Su Shoudao didn't know how to answer at all.

Because he also didn't know where Su Ruoli had gone.

She, the whole person, was just like evaporating into thin air, leaving no clues.

He Yingxiu, who had lost one arm, knelt down to Su Shoudao, crying, hoping that he would think of every possible way to find her whereabouts for the sake of Su Ruoli being his own daughter.

Su Shoudao agreed.

Su Ruoli is his own daughter, this point is supported by DNA results, and He Yingxiu saved his life back then. The reason why He Yingxiu lost one arm was entirely to save him.

Therefore, whether it was for the sake of his own daughter or for the sake of his savior, Su Shoudao could not refuse.

However, his heart was blocked.

Because, this was the first time he had encountered such a thing.

The first time he had no clues about someone's whereabouts.

After all, the Su family has eyes and ears all over the world. From the past, as long as they want to check someone, there is no clue they can't find.

But this time, the Su family couldn't find any clues.

Therefore, Su Shoudao was also very worried about Su Ruoli's current situation.

What he was afraid of was not that he couldn't find Su Ruoli, but that Su Ruoli might no longer be in this world.

Therefore, his mood had been very heavy since he returned home.

Yes. The moment Su Shoudao pushed open the bedroom door, a beautiful and moving middle-aged woman walked out of the bedroom bathroom.

This woman had just removed her makeup and taken a bath, her long hair wrapped in a dry hair cap. Although she had removed her makeup, her skin was still smooth and flawless. She looked like a noblewoman who was naturally beautiful and had very proper maintenance.

This woman was Su Shoudao's lifelong love, his wife, Du Haiqing.

The Du family's strength in Yanjing was very strong. Although their assets might be a cut below the Su family, in terms of background, status, connections, and comprehensive strength, they were actually not much worse than the Su family.

On some special levels, they were even stronger than the Su family.

After all, in any place in the world, money is not the only standard for measuring strength.

Du Haiqing was the most admired socialite in Yanjing back then, none other.

Her family background made her almost the dream lover of all the rich second generation in Yanjing back then.

Su Shoudao was one of them.

Now Du Haiqing, although she is over fifty and has raised two children, she is still as charming and moving as a young woman in her thirties.

Seeing Su Shoudao come back, Du Haiqing said with some heartache: "Why did you come back so late today? Are you tired?"

Su Shoudao smiled reluctantly and said: "It's okay, I'm not tired. There have been extra things these past two days."

Du Haiqing nodded. Since she married Su Shoudao, she had never cared about Su Shoudao's work.

Because she felt that she didn't need to intervene in men's affairs.

Therefore, she never asked about the details of Su Shoudao's work.

Seeing Su Shoudao's exhausted expression, she said: "You go change your clothes first, I'll put some water for you, you take a good bath, turn off your phone when you sleep at night, and don't get up until you wake up naturally tomorrow."

Su Shoudao was moved in his heart and said hurriedly: "Wife, don't worry about me, I'll put the water myself."

Du Haiqing said: "The water in the bathtub is what I just used, and it will take a long time to drain and change the water. You go change your clothes and rest for a while."

Su Shoudao smiled and said: "It's okay, I'll just soak in the water you used for a while."

Du Haiqing said somewhat shyly: "How can that be! The water you soaked in is not clean, wait, I'll put a new tub of water."

"No need, no need." Su Shoudao chuckled, hurriedly drilled into the bathroom, and said while taking off his clothes: "How can my wife's bathwater be unclean! Don't worry about it, I'll go in and soak for a while!"

Seeing him take off all his clothes, Du Haiqing shook her head helplessly and said: "Alright, you soak for a while, if the water gets cold, put some hot water in, I'll go to bed and read a book."

Su Shoudao hurriedly smiled: "Alright! You go quickly!"

Du Haiqing left the bathroom, closed the door, and then lay on the comfortable and luxurious big bed, then she took a book titled "Anna Karenina" from the bedside.

This is a literary masterpiece by Russian writer Leo Tolstoy, about the tragedy of Anna Karenina's pursuit of love.

Du Haiqing has read this book countless times, and she can recite many paragraphs word for word, but she still picks it up to read and read every few days.

Sometimes, she feels that she is somewhat like the heroine of this book. Although she is from a noble family, although she is an elegant and charming eldest lady in the eyes of others, she has never harvested the love she truly wants.

Her husband, like Anna's husband, is devoted to his career. Although he loves her deeply, his excessive rigidity makes her feel a sense of frustration that is boring.

She can only find comfort in life from her children.

Subtly, Anna encountered her true love in a boring marriage life.

And she is just the opposite.

She walked into the life of marriage with Su Shoudao after encountering true love but being unable to get it.

Anna finally died of suicide. Although Du Haiqing has never had any thoughts of committing suicide, she knew that the love in her life had died since the day she married Su Shoudao.

After flipping through a few pages, Du Haiqing's mind couldn't help but emerge the figure of that man again.

For more than twenty years, that man's figure has never left her thoughts.

Almost every night, she falls asleep thinking of that man's figure.

And that man is her lifelong love, Ye Changying.

Thinking of Ye Changying, she couldn't help but reach out and pick up her mobile phone.

After unlocking the phone, she opened the browser on the phone and entered a very complex URL in the address bar.

This URL is actually an online photo album.

After she logged in with her account and password, she clicked confirm and entered her own private photo album.

This private photo album was registered by Du Haiqing herself more than ten years ago. She converted all the group photos of her and Ye Changying, as well as all the photos of Ye Changying she could find, into electronic versions and uploaded them to this photo album.

Only she knows the account and password. As long as there is a chance, she will open this photo album to look at it for a while every day, and then exit silently and delete all access records.

At this moment, she opened the photo album. When Ye Changying's handsome face appeared on the mobile phone screen, Du Haiqing's two lines of hot tears couldn't help but burst out.

She looked at Ye Changying's photo, while gently stroking his face with her fingertips, while whispering: "Changying, you have been gone for so many years, why can I still not forget you..."
