After the fire, the crew stopped working and took a break. It was said that the fire that day was caused by the aging of the electrical circuits, so the local government began to check out all the electrical circuits around them, such as refurbishment.
"There are still some contracts at the company that we need to look at. I just happen to have some time, you guys can go and play. I still have things to do at the company."
"You have truly betrayed my kindness."
After sending off her colleagues, Yu Meng was the only person left on the second floor of the new hotel.
She noticed that she didn't seem to be in the same group.
She directly married Tan Yubai when she grew up, and all the friends she made at work were all because of their interests, so she didn't have any sincere feelings towards him. Thinking about it, the only friend she really liked was Fang Rui.
She still felt sorry for herself.
The workaholic began to work all day, from morning to night. Yu Meng got up, stretched, stood up and looked out of the window, looking into the distance to relieve the fatigue in her eyes.
The group of tourists outside were all feeling tired as they walked towards the dining area.
Unconsciously, Yu Meng started searching for a familiar figure in the crowd.
That man. If she wasn't wrong …
Yu Meng stood there for a while, not seeing anything.
He did not appear.
Yu Meng returned to her seat and pondered for a few seconds before dialing Du Qinyi's number.
Although their relationship had eased up for a while because of Tan Yubai's funeral, they were still irreconcilable enemies after that incident.
However, Yu Meng had no choice but to make the call today.
"Hello." After making two rings, Du Qinyi picked up the phone: "Who is this?"
"Yu Meng."
"Oh?" Du Qinyi was a little shocked, "Aren't you in the Sri Lanka? Why did you think of calling me? Why, are there not enough funds for the filming? Or is she not coming back after being attacked by terrorists? "
Du Qinyi's taunts did not make Yu Meng uncomfortable. This was not the reason why she was looking for Du Qinyi in the first place.
Yu Meng went straight to the point.
"The plane Tan Yubai flew on when he was in trouble, where did it fly to?"
Du Qinyi paused, and did not directly answer Yu Meng. Instead, she asked her, "Why are you asking this?"
"If you want to tell me, then tell me. If you don't, then hang up." Yu Meng didn't want to dawdle with her at all.
"Is that the Sri Lanka?" Yu Meng asked.
"No." Du Qinyi said: "He did not go to Sri Lanka."
"Thank you for telling me, that's all."
Just as Yu Meng was about to hang up, Du Qinyi added.
"Yu Meng, we're not good friends, though. But I still want to remind you of one thing. "
Yu Meng's hand paused as she held the phone, waiting for her to finish.
"In Sri Lanka, you better be careful."
After she finished speaking, the only thing that remained was the busy beeping of the phone. Yu Meng was still considering her next words.
She was talking carefully. Was she talking carefully about the riots at any time and the terrorists who had fled from the international scene, or was she referring to something else?
Yu Meng really hoped that she was overthinking things.
Since Tan Yubai did not come to the Sri Lanka, then that man …
Was Yu Meng mistaken? Did she think that Fang Rui's story would cause her to recall the past and become sentimental, thus making her recognize the wrong person?
That's right, how could Tan Yubai still be alive? Where in the world would anyone create the joke of their own death? Moreover, it had been so long. If he was faking his death, why hadn't he made a move yet? Didn't he have a purpose?
No, Tan Yubai would not do anything without a purpose.
Thinking of this, Yu Meng couldn't help but feel disappointed.
How she wished he were still alive.
Remnant Dream could only continue to work. Only work could temporarily suppress the grief in her heart.
No matter how much time passed, the news of his departure was an eternal pain to her.
The wound would never heal, so she could only cover it with gauze to temporarily prevent blood from seeping out. Once she got used to the pain and couldn't see the blood, she would be able to live a peaceful life.
This was how Remnant Dream had adjusted her body. Now that the blood had seeped out from her wound, she was reminded of the existence of that wound. The pain grew deeper and deeper as her memories accumulated.
For the whole two hours, Yu Meng didn't finish reading the contract.
She couldn't read a word in her head.
She was so bored that she just wanted to find something to vent her feelings on.
Or maybe it was good to be able to distract her.
Yu Meng asked Fang Rui for an address.
It was in the story of Wen Lan and Mu Bai. It was a very important place, and it was Mu Bai's father's teahouse.
However, Yu Meng really wanted to take a look at it on a whim.
That place was in the northern part of Sri Lanka, and Yu Meng was a little nervous because the last time she was robbed, it was at that place.
But the more dangerous it was, the more curious she became.
She could only grit her teeth and go.
This time, Yu Mengyi was much smarter. She was deliberately dressed very raggedly, not washing her face nor combing her hair. Her face was even more plain than a virgin, and she even pointed out a few red spots and drew a few wrinkles on her face.
Yu Meng looked at herself in the mirror. Fortunately, she held back, or else she would really puke.
She set off confidently, convinced that this time no one would be interested in her.
Let alone robbing her, she would probably vomit upon seeing her face.
Yu Meng set off at night, rented a car, and shakily drove for nearly ten hours. When she arrived at her destination, it was already morning of the next day.
When she woke up, she saw the driver waiting patiently for her.
She was sorry she was so ugly and sleeping soundly in someone's car. The politeness of the driver made Yu Meng want to find a hole to hide in.
Yu Meng gave a double tip to the driver.
This area was already in ruins. The government did not manage this area, and over time, the ruins of the past accumulated into a thick history. Here, one could almost see how difficult life was for the people who lived here in the past.
Yu Meng stepped on the uneven ground. Not far in front of her was the teahouse. She could vaguely see that the fence around the teahouse was once made of exquisite white porcelain tiles. When she walked in, she could see broken pieces of jade and wood mixed with stone.
Here, it must have been exquisite and beautiful.
Yu Meng's feet were light, and she chose a relatively flat spot to walk on. She barely made a sound.
In the huge courtyard, only half a tree and half a room remained. Half of the tree was in the middle of the courtyard. There was a tree trunk that had been burnt down to a small half, as if it had been hit by a bomb. The dark bark of the tree had become the sole function of the courtyard.
Yu Meng walked over and circled behind a tree. She was surprised to find a tombstone there.
Oh, no, it's another one. These two wooden tombstones, side by side, are buried under this tree.
Yu Meng looked at the words on the tombstone.
Mu Bai, the son of the Mu Family.
Wen Lan, Mu Bai's wife.
Yu Meng was still standing, but she slowly crouched down and knelt in front of the tombstone, kowtowing to the two elders.
She saw a line of words carved under the tombstone.
"Trust is not to lose. Life and death are to be trifled with. The nymph will turn into clothes and she will fly around the mountain."
Yu Meng suddenly felt gratified.
So it turned out that they had a happy ending, that they could sleep together in death, just like the story that Mu Bai had always longed for.
Liang Zhu. They turned into butterflies and flew together.
And Mu Bai and Wen Lan would also be forever beautiful in another world.
There was a lot of dirt on the tombstone. Yu Meng took out a tissue and carefully wiped it clean. She saw that more than half of the old tree had been burned. In the middle of it, it miraculously sprouted.
Yu Meng liked this ending.
Suddenly, she saw the box on the slope behind the tombstone.
Yu Meng was curious, so she picked it up.
The box was light, almost weightless. Even though he looked just like a casket. But it was so light, it didn't feel like it was filled with anything.
A small rosewood box. Exquisite patterns were carved on the outside.
Yu Meng really wanted to open it and take a look, but she felt this was too impolite. Would it be punished to touch the things of the two dead?
While he was hesitating, a stone was thrown at his feet.
Terrified by the dream in her thoughts, she stood up with a "whoosh" and accidentally threw the box in her hand onto the ground.
Trembling, Yu Meng turned her head and saw the man.
"It's you?"
She breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Meng noticed that the man had walked out of the dilapidated room, so she looked around for a while before asking curiously.
"You … live here?"
The man walked towards Yu Meng with a light look in his eyes. His aura was very strong and he walked with the wind.
"I'm sorry." Yu Meng quickly apologized, "I don't know, you … You're here. "Master?"
Although Yu Meng didn't think it was possible, this man would appear here. If she wasn't the master, then what else could she be?
The man didn't pay any attention to Yu Meng. He walked over, walked around her, and picked up the broken box from behind her.
Yu Meng followed the man's direction and looked over. The box had been smashed into two halves and the item inside had fallen out. It was a photo.
Yu Meng took a quick glance and saw a black and white photo of a man and woman. It should be a picture of Mu Bai and Wen Lan together.
However, the woman in the photo was still unforgettable.
It was only a single glance, and she couldn't be sure. In order to prove that she had seen wrongly, Yu Meng suppressed the shock in her heart and patted the man's shoulder.
"Can I see that picture?"
The man glanced quickly at Yu Meng, placed the photo in the box, and took the box with her.
