Every bit of information, handwriting, and experience that Father Du had had made Du Ruqing feel incomparably grateful and guilty.
Tears fell like a broken string. His originally calm state of mind became extremely chaotic at this moment.
"Dad!" There were many words that he wanted to say to Father Du, but when he opened his mouth, there was nothing he could say. He could only mutter one word.
Her words choked in her throat as she tightly frowned. She helplessly laid her head on the table and buried her head in her arms.
He didn't know how long he cried until his tears dried up. Other than the sounds of his gulping, there was no other sound.
The lawyer sitting across from him seemed to be in his soul and didn't pay much attention to him. He also didn't pay much attention to him, as if he was doing a task together.
When Dean raised his head, her swollen eyes were unaccustomed to the glare of the sun. She reached out her hand to block the sun.
"Better?" When Du Yun's green eyes got used to it, he put down his hand and saw the lawyer holding out a glass of water in front of her, asking with a gentle tone.
"Thank you!" Du Liqing didn't take the water the lawyer passed to her. Instead, she stood up and bowed 90 degrees to show her gratitude.
The lawyer looked at him and nodded. The corner of his mouth curled up into a gentle smile, as if he was saying words that had nothing to do with him.
Du Liqing took all the things that her father Du had left for her from the table and tightly held onto them, afraid that the things would disappear in front of her eyes.
Inside the Burial Ground, Qu Yan Shi and Yuan Wei had been anxious to call the police. Just as they took a step forward, they saw Du Liqing's figure.
"Du Liqing, where did you go? Do you know that we are worried about you? " Qu Yan Yan rushed forward, grabbed Du Liqing's ear and bellowed with eyes filled with worry.
"Sorry to make you worry." Feeling the pain, Du Liqing didn't struggle at all and only tightly held the thing in his hand. Seeing the look of guilt on Qu Yan Yan's face, he apologized.
After prying open Qu Yan's hand, she walked over to the staff member who had just called for her, and leisurely said: "Everything is as simple as it sounds. My father doesn't like to put on airs."
There was no sign of panic on his face, only calmness. There weren't even any tears on his face. He only held on tighter to the object in his hands.
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements." The staff member agreed. He looked at Du Ruqing's expression as she gazed into the distance. Without asking any questions, he turned around and began to prepare the things that needed to be prepared.
Qu Yan Shi and Yuan Wei, who were standing not too far away, looked at each other. They knew that Du Yun Qing's mood wasn't right, but they didn't know how to console him.
Perhaps it was normal for her not to cry.
The two of them used this excuse to cover their unease as they thought back to the peaceful sleeping appearance of Father Du. In the end, Qu Yan Yan Yao's eyes reddened and Yuan Wei's heart was filled with grief.
A few days later, the staff brought Du Lianqing, Qu Yanzhi, Yuan Wei and the lawyer to the grave where Father Du's wife was buried. After choosing the auspicious hour, he began to dig, nail the coffin, bury the corpse, and place the tombstone. All of his actions were carried out in an orderly manner.
"Alright, the four of you can begin your worship now." When the staff finished their work, they dusted themselves off and turned to Du and the others to remind them that there was not much dust left.
With that, he turned around and left the place. After all, there wasn't just one person who died every day, and naturally, there wasn't just one person who wanted to enter the tomb.
"Dad, mom, the two of you are finally going to meet again. We have to live a good life from now on." Du Ruqing knelt in front of the two elders' tombstones and kowtowed three times to them.
When he looked up again, Dean's forehead was already red. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she stubbornly refused to let them slide.
Naturally, Qu Yan Shi and Yuan Wei, who were behind him, did the same. However, they were not as sad as Du Liqing. She accompanied Du Liqing every day, afraid that she would leave without a second thought.
As for the lawyers' association, it had also been arranged by Lu Juyan. As a subordinate of Lu Juyan, he'd naturally been ordered to accompany Du Liqing.
At this moment, due to his temporary blindness, Lu Juyan was still receiving treatment behind her back. As a result, he didn't appear by Du Liqing's side, but kept on reporting about her situation.
"Young master, Miss Du has been kneeling in the cemetery for almost six hours."
Lu Juyan, who was sitting next to the hospital receiving treatment, had his eyes covered by gauze. He was completely unable to see what had been sent over. Western Australia helplessly walked forward to report on the situation, while enduring the urge to retort.
This caused Lu Juyan's body to stiffen. There was no change in his expression, but he had the urge to find someone else. Sensing that he could not see anything, he gave up on that thought and waited for the herbal medicine in his eyes to evaporate.
"Qifeng, let's go home?" Nightfall quietly arrived. A cold wind blew at the four people standing there. Qu Yan Shi walked up to comfort Du Liqing, who had been kneeling down all this time, hoping that she could go home and rest properly before continuing to cheer up.
For several days, no one had had the chance to rest in comfort. Every day when Qu Yan saw the dark circles under Du Ruqing's eyes and the bloodshot lines in them, she couldn't help but feel heartache.
"Alright." Du Ruqing's green mouth was already incomparably dry. These light syllables actually made her feel pain, and it was extremely uncomfortable.
He stubbornly used both his hands to support himself on the floor and climbed up without borrowing anyone's strength. Her legs, which were already numb from kneeling, suddenly became unsteady. If it weren't for Qu Yan who was quick with his eyes and hands, she would have fallen to the ground long ago.
Du Ruqing's father's death was the final straw that broke the camel's back. It caused her to lose control of her emotions and also caused her to subconsciously start to cheat herself.
"Many thanks for your arrival. It's getting late, and the condolences for the day are over. Please go back." Qu Yan Shi and Yuan Wei looked at each other and immediately understood what each other was thinking. Yuan Wei walked to the center of the main hall and sat down in the basic etiquette for those who came to offer their condolences.
After everyone had dispersed, Qu Yanzhi and Yuan Wei had originally wanted to send Du Liqing back, but she rejected them without hesitation. Walking back to Lu Juyan's house alone, she didn't notice in the slightest the person following her.
It was already late in the night when he returned to Lu Juyan's home. After showering, she laid on the bed alone with her eyes closed, ready to fall asleep. However, she was too excited to fall asleep, and the dryness in her throat made her subconsciously want to go downstairs and pour herself a glass of water.
When he went downstairs and poured water from the kettle, he accidentally spilled the water. The water splashed onto his back and tears started streaming down his face. He was crying hysterically.
