Gu Ziyi picked up her phone and showed the payment code to Zheng Xingtang.
Zheng Xingtang tore off the receipt from Luo Lian just now, and Luo Lian left without asking for the receipt. And without waiting for him to scan the payment code, Luo Lian directly scanned the WeChat payment code posted on the desktop and transferred it.
Zheng Xingtang looked at the income on his mobile phone. Then he looked up at Gu Ziyi: "Miss Gu, there's no need to pay, I've received it."
"Ah?" Gu Ziyi was confused by Zheng Xingtang's words and didn't understand what Zheng Xingtang meant at all.
Zheng Xingtang laughed softly: "Mr. Luo has already paid."
Gu Ziyi's expression at that moment was very exciting. She moved her lips but didn't say what she wanted to say. Finally, she swallowed her words silently, "Thank you." She took her bunch of lisianthus and succulents, turned around and left immediately, walking quickly.
Zheng Xingtang speculated that she probably went after Luo Lian.
As Zheng Xingtang expected, Gu Ziyi walked out of the flower shop quickly and looked around for Luo Lian. But Luo Lian left long ago and was nowhere to be seen. Gu Ziyi, who somehow owed money, felt very uncomfortable.
She finally cursed in a low voice: "Fuck!" Then turned and walked to the parking lot to pick up her car.
The main reason why Luo Lian didn't talk to Gu Ziyi today was because he had other things to do. He drove the car to the cemetery.
Today is the festival day of Bailangyue.
There was a bouquet of carnations placed in the passenger seat.
When he was halfway through the drive, a call came in on his cell phone. It was from Qian Wenshi.
Luo Lian ignored him.
Not long after the call was hung up, another call came in. The caller ID was Li Shuyuan.
Luo Lian frowned.
Still no answer.
Then another call came, again from Qian Wenshi.
Luo Lian continued to hang up.
Just as the call was hung up, Li Shuyuan called again. Luo Lian chose to answer the call and turned on the speakerphone.
"Hello?"
"Mr. Luo, where are you now?" Li Shuyuan's voice was a little urgent.
Luo Lian did not answer: "What's the matter?"
"The chairman suffered sudden heart failure and is currently undergoing emergency treatment." Li Shuyuan spoke faster. Li Shuyuan didn't hear Luo Lian's voice, "Mr. Luo? Mr. Luo?"
"Qian Wenshi is here." Luo Lian knew why Qian Wenshi called him.
Li Shuyuan replied: "In the hospital."
"I can't make it right now. If you need anything, call me."
Li Shuyuan suspected that Luo Lian was just trying to evade, "Mr. Luo!" His voice became more urgent, "He is your biological father after all. Why don't you come to the hospital at this time?!"
Luo Lian felt like a cold-blooded animal at this moment, "I told you, I can't get there now." His eyes were very, very cold. Then he raised his hand to hang up the phone and turned it off.
The words Li Shuyuan said echoed in his head over and over again: "He is your father after all."
Luo Lian twitched her lips. In fact, if he had asked him to refute, he would have said, "She is your wife after all."
Bai Langyue was very... very lonely when she died.
How lonely is it
At that time, Bai Langyue said she wanted to drink hot water, and Luo Lian went to get hot water. When he returned with the thermos cup, there were many panicked people at the door. He saw doctors in white coats performing cardiac resuscitation on Bai Langyue. But the electrocardiograph is already... a straight line.
Luo Lian has always felt that his mother was a very pitiful woman.
She didn't even live for herself, her life was terrible. I was tortured by my marriage for half my life, and the rest... that meager and pitiful time was also tortured by illness.
Luo Lian actually didn't know exactly what Bai Langyue was thinking. Sometimes he couldn't tell whether Bai Langyue loved or hated Luo Mingsheng. Maybe it's both. It was sweet back then, but later it was doomed.
When Bai Langyue died, Luo Lian was the only one around him.
Luo Mingsheng did not come.
During the entire period when Bai Langyue was ill, Luo Mingsheng never came to see her.
Luo Lian really couldn't treat Luo Mingsheng as his father. He won't be able to control the disgusting feeling inside. Luo Mingsheng is a typical example of scum, and Luo Lian feels that he can be nailed to the pillar of shame.
Luo Lian glanced sideways at the bouquet of carnations on the passenger seat.
He did not turn around and had no intention of going to the hospital.
After a long time, he arrived at the cemetery and got out of the car with carnations.
He is very familiar with this place, having been here not long ago. He walked to Bai Langyue's tombstone and stood there quietly, squatting down and looking straight at Bai Langyue's photo on the tombstone.
"Mom, I came to see you." He placed the carnations in front of the grave, "I brought you a bouquet of flowers. I think you will like it."
"I may have to be busy for a few more days and won't be able to see you. But after I'm busy for a while, I will have plenty of time. I will come to see you when I'm free and talk to you more." Luo Lian When he smiles, his facial lines soften.
Luo Lian would not mention Luo Mingsheng's matter in front of Bai Langyue's grave, and he was not willing to waste his time. They talked about some of his recent life, and they were all well-chosen, and the bad ones were lightly brushed over.
In front of Bai Langyue's tomb, he will feel very calm.
This is a spiritual sustenance. Even if he knew in his heart that there were no ghosts and gods in this world, there might not be souls either.
It can be regarded as an outpouring of his emotions.
He stayed in the cemetery for a long time until it got dark. He just left the cemetery and returned to the car. He looked at the mobile phone he had thrown aside and turned it on again.
Text messages came in one after another, from Qian Wenshi, from Li Shuyuan...
Li Shuyuan's content was relatively restrained and did not accuse Luo Lian more. The text message only informed Luo Lian that Luo Mingsheng had been rescued and his life was no longer in danger. Then he sent him the address of the hospital.
Instead, it was Qian Wenshi who posted three messages in a row.
—I know you have a bad relationship with your father, but he is your father after all. Are you really not going to show up at this time? !
—Can a person really be so cold-blooded? ! You clearly know that your biological father is currently lying in the hospital being treated for emergency treatment! Are you so cold-blooded? !
—Luo Lian, you really don’t deserve to be a human being!
Luo Lian stared at these words for a while and let out a sneer. I felt...very ridiculous.
He leaned back on his seat and stared blankly at the sky.
It was already sunset, and the clouds were all stained red with blood. It was an extremely magnificent scene.
He stared at the scene in the sky for a while.
Then he started the car and started walking back.
No matter how others criticized him, Luo Lian just thought it was a mad dog barking. He didn't think he was doing the right thing, and he knew what he was doing was not a good thing. But... he feels that others are actually... not qualified to judge him.
It would be extremely ridiculous to talk about his future without knowing his past.
