It was almost evening, and a large amount of sunset light shone through the gaps of the tall buildings, rendering this scene into a warm scene that only appeared in movies.

After settling down her grandparents, Song Guo’s despondent mood, which had lasted for a day and a night, was almost driven away.

She began to apply for passports, identity cards, and other documents, and then began to plan where to take her grandparents for a trip to the sea.

Completely out of Song Qishan’s control and threat, she began to smile, and began to look forward to every minute and second of her future life.

She was no longer so easily pessimistic. Of course, she was also no longer so easily resigned to her fate.

Time slipped through her fingers like this. Soon, more than half a month had passed. During this half a month, Song Guo brought her elderly grandparents to visit many places It could also be considered as making up for the many regrets left behind by her busy work over the past few years.

On this morning, Los Angeles had the biggest rain since late autumn. It was as if it was going to drown the entire city. It was so big that the shape of the building on the opposite side could barely be seen.

It was also on this morning that her grandfather’s illness suddenly worsened. The old man who was holding her hand the night before and telling her funny stories about her childhood suddenly fainted.

The Connections Song Guo had accumulated in the United States had become a thing of the past after she sold the company.

She had been busy working all these years, trying to make things better for herself and her grandparents. She rarely took the initiative to make friends, or to be more precise, she did not have the energy to make friends.

Therefore, when she was in need of help in a foreign country, she was particularly isolated and helpless, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.

And it was also on this morning that Lin Nancheng, a wealthy Chinese businessman, completed an epic acquisition feat. The media in Los Angeles began to cover the sky with news about him And he naturally became the top business genius in the Chinese Business World.

His grandmother had followed his grandfather through thick and thin all her life.

In his grandmother’s words, she had endured his grandfather for a lifetime, let him live his life, and also loved him for a lifetime.

Perhaps it was because their relationship had gone through more than half a century, but at this moment of separation, his grandmother looked particularly calm and composed.

At least, that was how it looked from the outside.

Song Guo first checked her grandfather’s breathing and pulse, then quickly dialed 119.

After a lot of work, Song Guo was in a hurry to pack up the things she needed to go to the hospital.

Grandma sat by the bed the whole time, staring at her Pale grandpa without moving. Her expression gradually became dull, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

Song Guo knew that with her GRANDPA’s physical condition, it was already a miracle that he could survive until now. However, when it came to letting go, no one could be indifferent, let alone grandma.

Song Guo could understand her grandma’s mood and mood. Before she could say anything to comfort her, she heard her grandma say something gently “Guo Guo, your grandfather has been sick for all these years. It’s all thanks to your hard work outside day and night that you’ve been able to survive until today. I know in my heart that sooner or later, he will leave this world before me. In the past, your grandfather and I were afraid that we would put some pressure on you and make you unhappy. ”

At this point, her grandmother suddenly raised her head and looked at Song Guo, who was standing by the bedside. Her hands and feet were already cold. “But now, now… your grandfather may be in danger. I… I’m old again. I don’t know how long I can last… ”

“GRANDMA… ”

Song Guo didn’t want to hear grandma say these depressing words. Her grandfather’s breathing and pulse were still there. He would be fine. She would definitely do her best to save him and let him accompany her more. Even if he had to accompany her for another month, it would still be good for her to do her best.

Grandma’s breathing became a little uneven. She raised her hand to cover her lips and coughed a few times before continuing, “child, let me finish. ”

Song Guo’s eyes instantly turned red. Her tears suddenly flowed out of her eyes like a kite with a broken string.

Grandma took a deep breath. “Your grandfather and I are blessed. Your mother is our only daughter, but she passed away very early and left you to us. ”

“Your grandfather and I are very old now. It can be said that we don’t want anything else. We just want to see you find a good man, get married, and have a shoulder to lean on for the rest of your life. That way… “that way, we’ll be satisfied and can close our eyes even if we die. ”

Song Guo heard her grandmother’s words and quickly interrupted her with a trembling voice, “grandma… ”

All these years, she had been using her work to numb herself. In order to take into account her feelings, her grandparents had never mentioned this issue. Even if they didn’t mention it, she was happy to be at ease.

However, her lifelong happiness had become a thorn in her grandparents’hearts, and they would not rest until they were dead.

Perhaps only when they saw that she was truly happy would they remove this thorn from the bottom of their hearts, and they would… … Leave without any regrets …

She looked at her grandfather on the bed with teary eyes. Every minute and second, she really felt that she was unfilial.

For so many years, she had always been concerned about her own feelings and had never calmed down. She had put herself in the shoes of the two elders and even boasted that she was a particularly filial person. However, in reality.. She had never done a filial thing right.

For example, she had found a reliable man to let them meet. For example, when they were in good health, she had married a good man, and so on and so forth… …

There were too many, too many.

“I know that young people nowadays don’t like to get married early, and we don’t expect you to get married and start a family right away, but you have to at least bring one back for us to see and know that you still have such thoughts… ”

At this point, grandma suddenly burst into tears. “Your grandfather… your grandfather has been talking about this to me, but he doesn’t allow me to mention it to you. ”

Grandma raised her hand and hit her chest hard. “It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault. If I had forced you earlier, would he… would he have no regrets? ”

Song Guo saw that grandma’s emotions were getting more and more agitated. She quickly went forward and grabbed her hands that were pounding on her chest. When she spoke again, her voice trembled uncontrollably “Grandma, don’t be like this. I promise you that I will bring him over to meet you as soon as possible… ”

When grandma heard Song Guo’s words, she was stunned for two seconds. Then, she asked excitedly, “you already have someone you like? ”

Song Guo nodded. “Yes. ”

Grandma seemed to have grabbed onto the last straw in the stormy sea. She rushed to GRANDPA’s side and whispered in his ear over and over again “Old man, did you hear that? Guoguo said that she has someone she likes. You can be at ease now. ”

Such comforting words did not bring GRANDPA back to life.

At 11:43 am, GRANDPA still left her and grandma behind and passed away.

The rain outside was very heavy. In addition to the incessant thunder and lightning, Song Guo was extremely scared. It was the first time in her life that she was so helpless in the face of life.

The road was wet and slippery on a rainy day. Lin Nancheng’s car broke down on the way back from a business meeting and crashed heavily into the car next to him.

The driver in the driver’s seat and Lin Nancheng in the backseat both suffered minor injuries of varying degrees. After contacting the Insurance Company and Road Rescue, they entered the hospital with the ambulance.

After getting off the ambulance, Lin Nancheng saw a familiar figure in the distance. Her back was facing the direction of the crowd in the emergency department, and she was holding a cell phone in her hand. It was unknown who she was talking to.

Although she was far away, he could still clearly see the tear stains on her face and exhaustion.

Just as he was about to walk over, he was blocked by the medical team that suddenly passed by. By the time the medical team walked over and he was about to chase after her, the woman had already disappeared from the position he had just been in.

When the driver saw his big boss standing there and not moving, he did not dare to leave either. He did not even dare to breathe loudly, afraid that his boss would blame him for the car breaking down just now.

Lin Nancheng stood where he was and stared at him for a few seconds. Then, he waved his hand and said, “you go to the emergency department first. I saw an acquaintance. Go over and say hello. ”

When the driver heard his words, he let out a long sigh of relief. “okay, chief Lin. ”

After Lin Nancheng separated from the driver, he looked in the direction where the woman might have disappeared. After countless times of futile efforts, he finally found her in the ICU on the top floor.

He saw that she had changed into a black dress, and there was a mourning cloth hanging on her arm.

When he saw the mourning cloth, Lin Nancheng’s eyebrows twitched violently.

He couldn’t care less about being rude. With a few strides, he chased after her. He saw Song Guo and her grandmother in an advanced ward dressing the old man on the bed.

The old man was none other than Song Guo’s grandfather, Xiao Su.

Xiao Su lay there motionless. His face was Pale, and his body didn’t seem to be completely stiff. It seemed that he had just left not long ago.

He stood there and took a few glances before walking towards Song Guo.

Song Guo and her grandmother heard the sound of footsteps coming from the door and looked over at the same time. When they saw that the person at the door was Lin Nancheng, Song Guo’s tears fell unconsciously, as if she suddenly had a weakness and weakness.

Lin Nancheng’s dark black suit was covered with large stains left by the rain mixed with the blood. He walked over to Song Guo with his long legs and said in an unbelievably gentle voice, “sorry, I’m late. ”

Guan Mei was a little confused when she saw such an elegant man suddenly appear in the ward. She asked Song Guo with her eyes, “Guo Guo, this is… ”

Lin Nancheng saw that she only knew how to cry, so he pulled her into his arms without thinking. “Hello, grandma. I’m Song Guo’s boyfriend. My name is Lin Nancheng. ”

After hearing Lin Nancheng’s name, his grandma muttered his name in a low voice, as if she was trying to find out everything about this name in her mind. “Lin Nancheng… ”

It took her more than ten seconds to find out everything about him.

She had only heard his name before, but she had never seen him up close. This was the first time she had seen him, and he was indeed the same as the legends said.

He was handsome and had a handsome appearance.

But why did this name seem to be the same as the man who violated Guo Guo that year… …

When she thought of this, she stopped thinking about it. Instead, she looked at the handsome man and beautiful woman in front of her lovingly interacting with each other.

Song Guo sniffled and randomly reached out to wipe the tears off her face. In a low and hoarse voice, she asked him, “you… why are you here? ”

This was the first time Lin Nancheng had taken the initiative to visit her family. Of course, it might be the only time.

After all, her grandfather had left, and there would be one less person to support her in the future.

In addition to his current status and status, how could he lower himself and accommodate her time and time again?

Right now, she only had one thought in her mind, which was to let her grandfather leave with dignity.

But this was America. No matter how long her hand stretched out, it could not reach this place. She could only rely on the man next to her.

And she was very clear-headed. Now was not the time to be emotional. If he was still willing to see her, then she really had no reason to refuse.

Moreover, it was at a time when she needed him to see her so much.

Song Guo’s tears were like a sea that had burst its banks. They did not stop flowing out of her eyes. When the man saw that her face was full of tears, he frowned his extremely beautiful straight brows. “Don’t cry. Birth, old age, illness, and death are the common things in the world. You have to think more about the people who are still alive, HMM? ”

Lin Nancheng, Lin Nancheng… …

Guan Mei pondered for a moment and finally recalled all the memories of this man from her mind.

Song Guo had been working very hard to be a good child with excellent grades since she was young. So much so that when she was given as a gift by Song Qishan to a man who was old enough to be his grandfather, she accidentally slept with Lin Nancheng for one night That was when the earth-shattering scandal happened.

From then on, the words ‘love’ and ‘marriage’ had never appeared in the mouths of the three of them again.

Later on, she used this incident to exchange for Song Qishan’s slight sympathy and successfully went abroad to study. However, one month after she went abroad to study, she found out that she was pregnant.

However, she did not tell anyone, not even her classmates. She secretly gave birth to this child and passed it on to Qiao Man and Meng Dongxing to raise.

As a result, up until now, she and the old man had not even met Xin Qiao once, let alone had the chance to enjoy the so-called happiness of family.

Putting aside these past events, they had forgotten that the other culprit of that incident was Lin Nancheng.

They blamed all their resentment on Song Qishan, but they forgot that Lin Nancheng had gone with the flow. Guan Mei frowned, and before Song Guo and Lin Nancheng could react, she rushed over and pointed at the door She told Lin Nancheng to get lost.

Song Guo was shocked by her grandmother’s sudden excitement, and she quickly stood in the middle, afraid that her grandmother would do something even more outrageous. “Grandma, everything’s fine… what’s wrong with you? ”

“Guo Guo, all these years, you’ve never been willing to bring your partner back. Is it because this scumbag is instigating you? He even deprived you of your freedom, so that you don’t dare to have a boyfriend anymore? Is that right? ”

Back then, Song Guo had that incident, and she had attempted suicide twice.

And these two times, her grandparents happened to find out about it in time and found a psychiatrist to resolve it in time.

Therefore, from then on, Xiao Su and Guan Mei only knew that Song Guo had a passionate relationship, but they did not know who the male lead in that passionate relationship was.

All these years, they had never mentioned what had happened back then, so they had no way of knowing. Now that he was willing to take the initiative to appear on the surface of the water, she really had no reason to be polite.

Song Guo knew that her grandmother had misunderstood Lin Nancheng as Mu Yuanqiao. She thought that she loved him very much back then, but he took advantage of the fact that she had drunk the wine that had been poisoned and did something that was worse than a beast to her, so she tried her best to explain “Grandma, you’ve misunderstood. He’s not… ”

“Guoguo, it’s already so late. You don’t have to defend him anymore. He’s a grown man, so he must be doing well these years. But what about you? You can’t even find a decent man. ”

Guan Mei raised her head and glared at the tall and straight Lin Nancheng. She didn’t hold back anymore. “Please get out of here. I don’t need your hypocritical charity and pity. Get Out, GET OUT NOW! ”

Song Guo stopped her emotional grandmother and turned to glance at Lin Nancheng. She said loudly, “grandma, it’s not him. I didn’t like him back then. ”

“Back then… we were in the same hotel, and he happened to drink the wine with the ingredients. I went to the wrong room, and everything went according to plan… ”

“So, rather than saying that I was taken advantage of by him, it was more like a consensual transaction. ”

After listening to Song Guo’s explanation, Guan Mei slightly restrained her raging emotions. “really? Are you sure you didn’t say this to defend him? ”

“Grandma, what’s there to defend? Besides, do I look like someone who would compromise myself because of this kind of thing? ”

Guan Mei didn’t want to flare up at this time, so she endured it. “alright then, drive him away yourself. Tell him that we don’t need outsiders to worry about our family’s matters. ”

Song Guo forced a smile and then pushed Lin Nancheng out. “I’m sorry, my grandmother’s emotions aren’t stable enough. You should leave first! ”

“It’s alright. I didn’t expect her to like me. ”

As he said that, he was about to walk in again, but Song Guo pulled him back. However, this time, she pulled on his wound from the car accident. When Song Guo heard his muffled Groan, she frowned and asked “How did you get injured? And you’re in such a sorry state? ”

“The road was slippery on a rainy day. The car broke down and crashed into other cars. There was a car accident… ”

“A car accident? ”

Song Guo did not hear him finish speaking and walked over to check his body anxiously. However, his big hands directly held her small hands that were searching up and down. “I’m fine. But you… are you okay? ”

Song Guo was stunned for half a second before she smiled mechanically. “I’m fine. What could be wrong with me? ”

As she spoke, she was about to pull back the hands that were held tightly in his hands, but he used even more strength to hold her. “Song Guo, why didn’t you contact me when such a big thing happened? ”

“You’re so busy… ”

She raised her head to look at him. Her voice was clearly gentle, but there was no emotion in it. “Besides, aren’t we no longer related? ”

She had thought of contacting him, but when she saw that the news was all about him, she once again felt the difference between heaven and earth. The courage that she had mustered up had also turned into nothingness at that moment.

There was no sorrow that could not be solved with time. There was no problem that could not be faced.

She had faced so many things alone over the years, and it did not seem like she would miss this opportunity.

Of course… … She would also want to have a broad shoulder to lean on at some point in time, to bear her sorrow and tears …

But after that moment of impulse, she clearly knew that it was just that moment of impulse.

The man smiled coldly. “Song Guo, is this how you define our relationship? ”

Song Guo lowered her head and did not look at him again. “I’m sorry, you can go. I really don’t need your help. ”

Lin Nancheng frowned and then swung his fist at the side of her head. She clearly heard the sound of his fist hitting the wall and was shocked. She almost instinctively looked up at the tall man in front of her. “Lin Nancheng, are you crazy? ”

“I am crazy. I am crazy for you. ”

Lin Nancheng approached her bit by bit. “Song Guo, do you think that you can make me happy and make you happy by forcefully pushing me out of your world in this way? ”

“No, you won’t be happy, and I won’t be happy either. ”

He suddenly lowered his posture, and even his voice was unbelievably gentle. “Guo Guo, don’t push me away at this time, okay? ”

They both knew that if they didn’t need each other at this time, their future would be bleak.

“Lin Nancheng… ”

“I love you, Guo Guo. ”

Song Guo widened her eyes and stared at him. “What… did you say? ”

“I said I love you. ”

He kissed her Red Lips gently. “I love you, Song Guo! ”

Song Guo suspected that she was hearing things. She kept hitting her face and head to wake herself up. However, Lin Nancheng’s big hands held her in the palm of his hand. He moved closer to his thin lips and kissed her gently “Guo Guo, you didn’t hear wrong. I said I love you. ”

He compromised with her He actually compromised with her?

The marriage she wanted must have love. If there was no love, she would rather not have it.

But what he wanted was the peace of mind of his family, a wife who could stay by his side, a wife who could spend her life with him without true love.

She had never thought that one day he would compromise with her, or even lie in order to compromise with her.

“Lin Nancheng, you don’t have to do this… ”

Lin Nancheng frowned. “Guoguo, what are you not satisfied with about me? I’ll change it, okay? ”

“No, I’m not dissatisfied. I just… I just don’t want you to be wronged for me. ”

She didn’t want him to feel wronged, especially when he didn’t deserve to feel wronged.

Lin Nancheng kissed the back of her hand again, and his voice was so low that it seemed to fade into the dust. “I don’t feel wronged. Instead, I feel very happy. ”

He paused for a moment and said calmly, “Song Guo, I don’t want to see your tears, and I don’t want to see you sad. From today onwards, we’ll be together and live a good life, HMM? ”
