The Young Man Who Cultivated the Truth Returned to the City

Chapter 251

As she thought about it, Lan Shuangning felt as if a stone was pressing on her chest, and she couldn't breathe. An extreme sadness and heartache surged into her brain.

She held back her tears, afraid that her mother would see her when she came in, and continued to hold the fragments in her hands and piece them together.

After a while, Xianhui came in with a bowl of cold noodles. Seeing Lan Shuangning still holding the fragments in her hands and piecing them together, her heart ached again.

Since Ji Mo's death, her daughter seemed to have changed. She didn't want to eat or drink. She only ate a little bit every day. Whenever she had time, she would go to Ji Mo's grave. Every night, she would go to the garbage dump to find the fragments of photos that had been thrown away, and then glue them together in her room for an hour.

"Ning'er, eat, and glue them together later." Zhang Hui put the cold noodles on the desk and persuaded.

"Okay."

Lan Shuangning stopped what she was doing and planned to eat. After all, Ji Mo was still alive. Although her heart was very painful, she was still more comfortable than before.

"Click!"

Suddenly, the door downstairs was opened by someone, and Zhang Hui walked out, only to see Lan Shuangning's father Lan Ling coming up from downstairs.

"Why did you come back so early today? Isn't the company going to start a new project recently?" Zhang Hui saw Lan Ling coming, and immediately greeted him and asked, "Take a break first, I'll go cook."

"Don't be busy yet. I left the company's affairs and came back early today. I wanted to tell Shuangning a piece of news. I don't know if this news is good or bad." Lan Ling said to Zhang Hui with a tangled face.

"What kind of news can be good and bad? Ning'er is like this now, don't put any more pressure on her." Xianhui frowned and said.

"This news was told to me by my father. He said that when he was playing chess at Xiao Bo's house, Mr. Zhao suddenly went to the Xiao family, and he also wanted to arrange the marriage between Mo'er and the daughter of the Zhao family."

"Ah? Is Mr. Zhao confused? Mo'er is already gone, and she is still engaged to Shiyao. Isn't that making her a widow?" Zhang Hui said in a daze.

"Mr. Zhao is certainly not confused. He did this because Mo'er is still alive, and he has already seen Mo'er." Lan Ling said.

"What! Mo'er is still alive! Isn't that good news? Go tell Ning'er, she will be happy!" Zhang Hui said excitedly.

"Of course we have to tell her, but think about it, even if Mo'er is still alive, he will no longer have anything to do with Shuang Ning. Have you forgotten the oath he made at the wedding that day?" Lan Ling frowned and said.

"This..." Zhang Hui's eyebrows also frowned instantly. Yes, even if Ji Mo is alive, he will no longer have any relationship with his daughter. After all, his daughter agreed to the oath that day.

"Click."

Suddenly, the door of Lan Shuang Ning's room was opened, and she walked out of the room. There was no strange expression on her face, and she still had some faint sadness.

"Dad, Mom, don't say it, he is actually still alive. I knew it a long time ago." Lan Shuang Ning said.

"Ning'er..." Zhang Hui was a little surprised. She didn't expect her daughter to know about this a long time ago.

"Actually... it doesn't matter if we don't have a relationship in the future. As long as he is happy, I think it's fine." Lan Shuangning said.

She said it calmly, but it sounded so sad to Lan Ling and Zhang Hui. As parents, they knew better than anyone how much their daughter loved Ji Mo.

Lan Ling stepped forward, patted his daughter's shoulder, and sighed: "Ning'er, actually, I told you that Mo'er is still alive, this is not the purpose. You know, your grandfather was at the Xiao family today. The Zhao family was going to get engaged to the Xiao family, but your grandfather stopped it. He just thought that as long as Mo'er was not engaged, you still had a chance."

"Dad, no, a broken mirror can't be reunited." Lan Shuangning was moved when she heard her grandfather fight for a chance for her, but she still knew that she had no hope.

"Ning'er, this is not like your character. How can you give up easily? If you give up, your life will be gone." Zhang Hui also walked over to persuade.

"Mom, Sister Shiyao already has his child, can you let them break up? Even if I can make Ji Mo like me again, how can I bear to let Sister Shiyao be alone with his child?" Lan Shuangning said bitterly.

"But Ning'er, what will you do?" Zhang Hui said distressedly.

"I don't care, I'll find someone to date in the future, and I'll marry him if I think he's good." Lan Shuangning said it without hesitation.

She has figured it out, it's time to let go, she and him are not destined to be together, even if they have been childhood sweethearts, they still can't be together in the end.

Since not letting go will torture the three people, it's better to make him and Shiyao happy, and bear the emotional scars of the past by herself.

"Okay, mom, dad, I'm fine, you can do whatever you need to do."

After that, Lan Shuangning turned around and went into her room.

Lan Ling and Zhang Hui outside the door looked at each other, sighed helplessly, and left.

At this time, five people were sitting at a big table in the Zhao family. To be precise, there were four people and one demon, namely Zhao Shiyao, Ji Mo, Mi Lin, Zhao Ming, and Zhao Yongan.

Because the people in the Zhao family were busy with work and were in other urban areas, it was difficult for them to go home. Only Zhao Yongan, Zhao Shiyao, and Zhao Ming were at home.

"Mo'er, you must have experienced a lot to survive this disaster." Zhao Yongan smiled.

"Grandpa Zhao, it's true. To be honest, I don't know how I survived. If I talk about my experiences, there are too many to describe in a few words." Ji Mo also smiled.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now." Zhao Yongan was in a good mood. He took out a bottle of wine and was about to drink with Ji Mo, saying, "Come on, drink first, Ah Ming should drink too."

"Grandpa, how could you bear to let me drink?" Zhao Ming was instantly happy when he heard that his grandfather asked him to drink.

"Isn't this to celebrate your brother-in-law's return after surviving a disaster?" Zhao Yongan said.

"Brother-in-law..." Zhao Ming was stunned at first, and then he realized that he was talking about Ji Mo.

When it comes to Ji Mo, Zhao Ming has long admired this brother-in-law. He destroyed the entire Green Snake Hall by himself, and was able to beat the extremely powerful Green Snake Hall Master to his original form. That shocking scene was deeply imprinted in his mind.

"Yes, yes, yes, to celebrate the return of my brother-in-law!" Zhao Ming immediately smiled at Ji Mo and said, "Brother-in-law, today is thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I guess my grandfather would not let me touch alcohol at all."

"What brother-in-law! We haven't even got married yet!"

When Zhao Shiyao heard this, she blushed and stood up and scolded on the spot.

"Oh, sister, you are almost a mother, but you still blush when you mention your husband." Zhao Ming said with a smile.

"Say it again!"

"Okay, okay, I won't say it. I finally got a drink, I can't be beaten."

With that, Zhao Ming sat down with a cowardly look on his face.

Ji Mo looked at this family and felt indescribably warm in his heart. He hadn't eaten like this in the secular world for a long time.
