Murong Qingyi had been immersed in dealing with matters related to Ye Zhihong for days. The continuous official duties overwhelmed him and he had no time to breathe. He actually completely forgot about the wedding dress fitting day that he had agreed with Fang Mulan.When he finally got away and rushed to the tailor shop, Fang Mulan was waiting in front of a room full of silks and her fingertips were cold. However, he rolled his eyes and deliberately pretended to be reluctant to be dragged. He also muttered that he was just going through the motions for his brother. However, the eyes hidden behind his lowered eyelashes were as bright as soaked in honey - there was no trace of reluctance, and the joy in his heart was already overflowing.
The moment his fingertips touched the satin of the wedding dress, the gauze curtain behind him was gently opened, and Ren Susu walked slowly in an ivory white wedding dress.Fine pearls were embellished on the skirt, and as she walked, soft light spread out. Murong Qingyi's eyes were instantly glued to her, and even the whispers of the tailors around him became the background sound, and he was mesmerized by the sight.Ignoring the gazes of everyone in the room, he walked straight forward, with an imperceptible tremor in his fingertips, and personally arranged the diamond necklace that had slipped from the neck of this nominal sister-in-law.He turned around and told the tailor that the size of the wedding dress was not suitable and needed to be readjusted. After saying this, he personally took the tape measure and measured Ren Susu's shoulder and waist size in front of everyone. His movements were so natural and unavoidable that everyone in the room lowered their eyes and did not dare to look at her, and they did not even dare to breathe.
At the same time, the sound of Yeats's lectures was floating in the woods on the outskirts. She was standing next to a real aircraft and was dismantling aviation theory for the students sitting around. The wind blew the corners of her clothes, adding a bit of life to the formulas she spoke.Murong Qingyu suddenly came from behind the tree, holding a neatly folded paper airplane in his hand, and followed her explanation to add practical details of aerodynamics. The two sang in harmony, and even the moment their eyes met, there was a tacit understanding that no one else could interfere with. Murong Qingyu looked at Ye Zhihong's side face, and the love surging in his eyes could hardly be hidden.But Ren Susu had already seen all this clearly. She knew that Murong Qingyu and Ye Zhihong were in love with each other, but she also knew that for the intertwined family interests of Murong and Ren, no one could escape the marriage between her and Murong Qingyu that existed in name only.
When the night came, Murong Qingyu drove Ye Zhihong home. The car parked under the sycamore tree at the entrance of the alley. The two stood side by side under the dim street lights. The words came to their lips countless times, but in the end there was only silence.She has a blue-sky ideal that she wants to pursue, and he has a family mission that cannot be offloaded from his shoulders. The gap that spans between the two has destined them to separate from the beginning.
The next day, Li Bai personally visited the Huo family and said that his biological father Li Rongzhang had returned and wanted Murong Qingyi to go back to the Li family to get together.After hearing this, Murong Qingyi clenched his fingertips suddenly and felt inexplicably upset in his heart - Li Bai grew up in Murong's family, but he had always been in close contact with his biological father, Li Rongzhang, and had always been loved. However, this father's love never belonged to him.Fang Mulan wanted to break into the core club of the Li family and immediately prepared a generous gift to accompany him. However, Murong Qingyi's face suddenly darkened. He would never let Fang Mulan see the insults engraved into the bones of the Li family and coldly rejected her.
As soon as he stepped into the Li family's yard, the old mulberry tree came into view. Murong Qingyi's temples jumped sharply, and the memory of being pinned under the tree and beaten by Li Rongzhang when he was a child suddenly came back to him.When Li Rongzhang saw him, he didn't say a single word of warmth. He opened his mouth with accusations, but when he turned to face Li Baize beside him, his tone softened instantly. The completely different attitude made people's eyes hurt.The reason for calling him back this time was because he was worried about the arms in the hands of the Huo family and urged him to marry Huo Minxian quickly. After saying this, he motioned to his servants to bring a plate of raw meat with bloodshot eyes - it was the meal that Li Rongzhang forced him to eat when he was raised as a wild dog when he was a child.
Murong Qingyi's face was as white as paper, and as soon as his fingertips touched the edge of the plate of raw meat, Fang Mulan suddenly rushed in from the door, swept the plate away, and said in a cold voice that Li Rongzhang, as a high-ranking commander, should not humiliate a junior like this. As a sister-in-law, she should take care of Qingyi.Li Bai on the side was completely stunned. He always thought that his father loved him and cared about the relationship between father and son for Murong Qingyi. He never thought that the truth could be so unbearable.
Murong Qingyi was then taken alone by Li Rongzhang to his deceased mother's memorial tablet in the backyard, and the dust-laden memories exploded: Back then, Li Rongzhang suspected that his wife was stealing someone else, and the Qingyi he gave birth to was not a bastard like him, so he locked the mother and son together in a dark room, and finally the adoptive mother died of depression.Li Rongzhang's insult pierced his heart like a needle, and the two started to fight during the dispute. The movement attracted Li Baize and Ren Susu who rushed over.Before Murong Qingyi left, he quietly put his adoptive mother's old photos into his arms. Li Rongzhang stared at the hand he had shown during the argument and found something was wrong with the old injury, so he immediately ordered his subordinates to thoroughly investigate the origin of his hand injury.
