However, half a day and an entire night had passed. When Lu Shijia looked at Ruan Qingwan, he felt that Ruan Qingwan had lost a lot of weight in an instant. Furthermore, he saw that Ruan Qingwan had grown quite a few strands of white hair on her head.
Lu Shijia was even a little worried that Ruan Qingwan would fall anytime.
Frowning, Lu Shijia subconsciously took light steps forward, walked up to Ruan Qingwan and whispered: "Mom, are you okay? Is there something wrong? I'll call the doctor. "
Just that, before the number in Lu Shijia's hand could be dialed out, he heard a voice calling out to him. Ruan Qingwan spoke out and interrupted it: "No need to call for a doctor, I'm fine."
As Ruan Qingwan spoke, her unfocused gaze finally moved away from the tea table in front of her and recovered some of her focus before landing on Lu Shijia.
Although Lu Shijia was still a little worried, but seeing that Ruan Qingwan was so persistent, she kept her phone and said: "Alright, then I will not call a doctor."
After crying for an entire night, Ruan Qingwan's voice was already completely hoarse, and it was difficult for her to even utter a single word.
When Lu Shijia heard Ruan Qingwan's hoarse and coarse voice, her slightly knit eyebrows immediately furrowed even deeper. She felt sorry for herself and hurriedly called out, "Nanny Wang?"
Just as Lu Shijia spoke out, Ruan Qingwan's hoarse voice interrupted her speech: "Nanny Wang didn't sleep last night, I gave her a day of leave, and let her go back to her own house to rest."
When Ruan Qingwan went out this morning, she saw Nanny Wang standing guard outside her room. She knew that Lu Shijia and the others were worried about her, so she made sure that she stayed there to recuperate.
Only after hearing what Ruan Qingwan said, did Lu Shijia remember. She then said to Ruan Qingwan: "Mom, sit here for a while."
Lu Shijia said as he quickly entered the kitchen. Five minutes later, Lu Shijia came out with a cup of hot milk.
After passing the warm milk that he had cooked himself in front of Ruan Qingwan, Lu Shijia said: "Mom, you didn't eat anything yesterday. First, drink a cup of milk to warm your stomach, I've already let the kitchen boil the chicken porridge that you like.
Ruan Qingwan took the warm milk and drank a few mouthfuls. Then, she placed it on the tea table in front of her and turned her gaze back to Lu Shijia.
Their eyes met.
The mother and son looked at each other in silence like that for nearly a minute. Only then did Lu Shijia hear Ruan Qingwan's hoarse voice break the silence, and she said slowly, word by word: "Shijia, I've been thinking so much for this entire day and night."
When Lu Shijia heard Ruan Qingwan's words, his heart instantly jumped into his throat. He was a little worried that Ruan Qingwan would continue to be stubborn after thinking about the conclusion he came to after an entire day and night.
Without waiting for Lu Shijia to think further, Ruan Qingwan continued: "Shi Jia, what you said is correct. We cannot take out any evidence right now, so continuing like this has no meaning at all, and will only make ourselves more miserable."
As he spoke, Ruan Qingwan paused for a moment. A hint of pain flashed across her deathly pale face, and then, in the next second, she continued. "I've been thinking of catching the killer earlier, but I ignored your dad. It's been half a month and your dad is still lying inside the freezer. He must be cold, and he'll definitely blame me."
With that said, Ruan Qingwan's ten fingers tightened into a fist, and her eyes uncontrollably flushed red again.
Other than closing the case, there was no other way to let Lu Yaozong rest in peace.
This was the decision that Ruan Qingwan made after thinking for an entire day and night. On one side, it was to let the people she loved rest in the grave as soon as possible, and on the other, it was to temporarily let go of her hatred towards her enemy, An Xingchen. Other than Ruan Qingwan herself, probably no one knew how much pain she had felt when she made this decision in this short period of one day and one night.
After hearing Ruan Qingwan's words, Lu Shijia reached out with a pained heart to hold Ruan Qingwan's hand. "Mom, you don't have to blame yourself so much.
With that, Lu Shijia took out a tissue and helped Ruan Qingwan to wipe the tears off her face.
In the next second, Ruan Qingwan suddenly tightened her grip on Lu Shijia's hand, her red eyes staring straight at Lu Shijia, her lips trembling as she spoke each word: "Shijie, but I have another request! I want you to promise me that your father's case will be closed now, but you can't just drop the investigation like this! We must send people to continue investigating in secret. "
Ruan Qingwan still did not believe the result she saw. In her heart, she still hated An Xingchen, and believed that An Xingchen was the murderer, and this Li Yi who suddenly appeared was merely a person Gong Lingqian found to help An Xingchen make a conviction.
The reason why she compromised now was only because she wanted Lu Yaozong to bury him sooner so that he could rest in peace.
Hearing Ruan Qingwan's words, Lu Shijia solemnly nodded her head, "Mother, I promise you, I will continue to secretly investigate this matter regarding father."
Hearing Lu Shijia's response, Ruan Qingwan's eyes became red, and she nodded again and again: "Good, very good, then I am relieved."
"Mom, I will take care of father's matter, you need to take care of your own body, if not Yuan Yuan and I will worry about you."
Ruan Qingwan nodded at Lu Shijia with bloodshot eyes: "Don't worry, I know."
The uproar finally subsided.
Ruan Qingwan no longer pursued this case stubbornly. After eating breakfast with Lu Shijia and that day, she went to the police station to bring Lu Yaozong's corpse out to the funeral home.
Lu Yaozong's corpse was cremated on the same day, Lu Shijia originally wanted to prepare the funeral, but Ruan Qingwan refused.
She only wanted Lu Yaozong to leave in peace, and did not want anyone or anything to disturb Lu Yaozong.
Lu Shijia respected Ruan Qingwan's decision and dispelled the matter of holding a funeral, and followed Ruan Qingwan to choose a grave to bury her.
An Qingruo did not expect Ruan Qingwan to choose to compromise so quickly. Originally, she thought that Ruan Qingwan would continue messing things up, but she was afraid that Ruan Qingwan would forget about the matter and bury Lu Yaozong well, taking advantage of Lu Shijia going back to his company to busy with his work. When only she and Ruan Qingwan were at home, she held onto Ruan Qingwan's hand and calmly probed: "Mom, that An Xingchen …"
In the end, before An Qingruo could even finish speaking, Ruan Qingwan's expression changed, her voice became louder by a few decibels, and she interrupted An Qingruo: "Yuan Yuan! "Don't mention this person's name in front of me!"
An Qingruo had been staring at the expression on Ruan Qingwan's face without batting an eyelid, and clearly saw a deep hatred flash across her eyes when Ruan Qingwan said those words.
An Qingruo was relieved, as long as Ruan Qingwan still hates her.
