The old man’s eyes were red and swollen from crying, his whole body collapsed on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. Anyone could feel the sadness and despair of the person in the photo. It was just a simple photo, yet the overwhelming despair emanating from it was suffocating.
Li Qiyun stared at the photo, her beautiful, heroic jawline taut as she tried to divert her gaze, not to care.
But she couldn’t.
Her gaze was like it was nailed to that photo, no matter what she did, she couldn’t tear her eyes away from it.
Her chest felt as if it was being crushed by a large stone, making it difficult to breathe...
Suddenly.
The mobile phone vibrated.
This ti it wasn’t a Text ssage coming through, but Li Nantian’s phone call.
Li Qiyun hesitated briefly, then placed the mobile phone to her ear, her Red Lips parted slightly, "Hello..."
The sound of static crackled from the other end of the mobile phone, each crack reverberating against her heart, causing her to involuntarily tighten her grip on the mobile phone, her Heartbeat skipping two beats.
"Hello, Dad?" Li Qiyun felt unusually unsettled, calling out again.
This ti, the person on the other end finally spoke, "Where are you now?"
It was Li Nantian’s voice!
Li Qiyun didn’t know why he was asking this, but replied, "I’m in Ryukyu."
"When do you plan to co back?"
Li Qiyun furrowed her eyebrows in confusion, asking him, "What’s happened, Dad?"
Why was he suddenly concerned about when she would return?
The person on the other end was silent for a long ti before slowly speaking, his voice filled with fatigue, "Do you know about Ryan’s situation this ti?"
Ryan’s situation this ti!
Li Qiyun felt as if her chest was heavily slamd by a Sledge Hamr!
Holding her breath, she pretended to be ignorant, "What about Ryan?"
"You don’t know?"
Li Qiyun responded quickly, "I don’t know. I’m still on vacation in Ryukyu, how could I know about Ryan’s situation? Dad, what happened to Ryan?"
"..."
Silence fell once again, a suffocating silence.
Every second of silence was torture to her heart, finally, just as she was about to explain herself again, the person on the other end spoke, "Qiyun, how much more disappointnt are you going to make feel before it’s enough?"
How much more disappointnt are you going to make feel before it’s enough?
A simple sentence, like a fierce Slap across her Face.
Li Qiyun gritted her teeth and said, "I don’t understand what you an, what did I do again?"
"What do you think? You know better than anyone what you’ve done, right? You said you didn’t know about Ryan’s situation, do you really not know? Considering your concern for Beijue, would you really not know about such a major accident with Ryan? Yet you just told you don’t know because you’re on vacation. Even a Child three years old wouldn’t believe what you said, and yet you’re telling this!"
If she had openly admitted that she knew, he might not have been so disappointed.
Li Qiyun instinctively distanced herself, thereby admitting her involvent in the matter.
"I’ve had soone bring you the jewelry your mother left for your wedding because I wanted you to sober up and not be so obsessed anymore. But in the end, you’re still lost in it, even more crazily than before. Qiyun, think about what you’ve done. Before you did these things, did you not think an accident might happen? Or did you consider from the beginning that an accident might occur, but you didn’t care at all? You wish for so accident to happen, so it would blow up even more?"
