Chapter 461 Looking at you
Following her mother's last wish, Lu Shengsheng buried her and her father together and moved them to a more scenic burial site.

On the day of the burial, Liang Hanyue, Shen Zhixing, and others came to see their aunt off on her final journey.

"Thank you all these past few days, especially Yueyue..." Lu Shengsheng's voice was hoarse, she hadn't had a proper rest, and her eyes were bloodshot. "If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would do on my own."

Liang Hanyue took her hand and said, "We don't talk about this between friends."

Lu Shengsheng nodded, then looked at Lu Wenzhou, "You've been very tired these past few days, working while also taking care of me. Go back and get some rest."

Lu Wenzhou didn't feel tired, but he felt sorry for her. "And what about you?"

"I want to go back to the courtyard for a few days. There are still many things I need to pack," Lu Shengsheng said softly. "I'll treat everyone to a meal when I have time in a few days to thank you all."

She bowed deeply to the group of people.

"Don't be shy, go back and get some rest," Shen Zhixing comforted her.

Lu Shengsheng and the others saw them all off before leaving.

Qin Yishen appeared to have left, but he only stood in one place for a while before turning back after everyone else had left.

as predicted.

Gu Ronghui placed a bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone and bowed respectfully three times.

Qin Yishen walked over and patted him on the shoulder. "You've been here for a while. Why didn't you show up earlier?"

No one else noticed, but when he got out of his car, he saw it in the parking lot.

Gu Rong replied calmly, "I don't want her to be troubled at this time."

"If only you had known this would happen, you wouldn't have done it in the first place." Qin Yishen said the words but didn't say them, not wanting to rub salt into the wound at this moment.

Gu Rong pursed her dry lips and asked, "Is she alright?"

"How can one feel better after the death of a loved one?" Qin Yishen sighed. "Let time heal all wounds."

Gu Ronghui remained silent.

Time is a good thing and a bad thing; it's afraid of...

Time heals her wounds, but it also pushes her further away from herself.

Lu Shengsheng returned to the home where her parents had lived their whole lives, and looking at everything in the house felt like a lifetime ago.

Everything is still there, but her parents are gone, and from now on she is all alone.

There was a photo of her parents on the bedside table in the bedroom, and a photo of the three of them next to it. She picked up the photo and burst into tears again, hugging it to her chest and sobbing uncontrollably.

She locked herself in her house this week, turned off her phone, and spent her time either sleeping or spacing out, looking emaciated.

until--

Lu Wenzhou came to see Lu Shengsheng because he was worried about her, but he didn't expect to see Gu Ronghui as soon as he got out of the car.

I don't know how long he's been waiting here, or how much longer he'll stay.

“You shouldn’t have come here.” Lu Wenzhou walked over, his eyes full of displeasure.

Gu Rong glanced at him with her dark, abyss-like eyes, and remained silent.

He didn't bother to speak.

Lu Wenzhou added, "Now that you have a new love, you shouldn't be bothering her anymore. You're just causing her trouble."

Gu Rong lazily lifted his eyelids and said in a cold tone, "What are you afraid of?"

Lu Wenzhou's face darkened. "I'm not afraid."

Gu Ronghui smiled sarcastically and said slowly, "Is that so?"

Lu Wenzhou felt utterly powerless, like slapping cotton. He stepped forward and grabbed Gu Rong's collar, coldly warning, "I'm not doing this for myself. Don't assume everyone is as despicable as you." Gu Rong glanced down at his hand. Without saying a word, the mockery and contempt in his eyes were enough to crush his self-esteem and pride.

Do these crippled hands also want to bring happiness to Sheng Sheng?
Overthinking.

"you……"

Just as Lu Wenzhou opened his mouth, the tightly closed courtyard gate opened, and Lu Shengsheng called out to him, "Lu Wenzhou..."

He turned around and saw her hand immediately let go. He quickly walked to her, and seeing her haggard and sallow face, he felt a pang of heartache. "How are you?"

"It's nothing." Lu Shengsheng shook her head, her gaze turning to Gu Ronghui. "What are you doing here?"

"It's up to you," Gu Rong replied.

"Now that you've seen it, you can leave." Lu Shengsheng coldly gave him the order to leave.

Gu Rong didn't say much, but took out a USB flash drive from her pocket and handed it to her, "You blocked me, so I can't send it to you. You can look at this yourself when you get back."

"What is that?" Lu Shengsheng frowned, wondering what he was up to now.

“Hospital surveillance footage,” Gu Rong replied. “Your mother’s condition deteriorated too suddenly.”

She was too grief-stricken to notice anything amiss.

When Liang Hanyue brought it up that day, he immediately had someone investigate. Actually, he had already found out before, but she wasn't feeling well, so he hadn't given it to her.

He's been coming over every day for the past few days, wanting to give her this, but she hasn't left the house, so he doesn't want to bother her by knocking on the door.

Lu Shengsheng took the USB drive, her eyelashes trembling slightly. "So, my mother's worsening condition wasn't a coincidence?"

"Take a look first, then call me when you're done," Gu Rong replied before leaving.

Lu Shengsheng gripped the USB drive tightly without saying a word, but her eyes were full of coldness.

Lu Wenzhou: "Let's go in first."

Lu Shengsheng led him into the house, saying, "Please sit wherever you like. I'll go get the computer."

Lu Wenzhou sat down on the sofa, and Lu Shengsheng quickly brought her laptop and sat down next to him, turning it on, inserting a USB drive, and opening a video...

The video is high-definition and the sound is clear. The mother is sitting in a chair, while two nurses passing by are discussing her billion-dollar divorce settlement and the rumors circulating online...

The mother's face changed visibly; she looked completely lost, as if she had lost her soul.

My mother's condition worsened because she learned about those things online, and it turned out it was all because of me...

Lu Shengsheng felt a chill rise from the soles of her feet to her heart, and she trembled uncontrollably.

Lu Wenzhou put his arm around her shoulder worriedly, "It's not your fault, it's not your fault... it's the fault of those who spread rumors about you."

Lu Shengsheng didn't say anything, and the video suddenly went black. Just when she thought it was over, the screen suddenly lit up again, this time it seemed to be a phone recording.

The scene shows two girls in nurse uniforms, and... Gu Ronghui and his bodyguard.

The two girls' faces were visibly red and swollen, and they were crying their eyes out, while Gu Ronghui sat to the side with a cold and indifferent expression.

"Why did you say those things in front of Lu Shengsheng's mother?" the bodyguard asked coldly.

They shook their heads, their eyes filled with fear. "We didn't mean to...we really didn't know her mother was having a checkup over there."

"We were just gossiping for a moment, we really didn't know it would turn out like this... Please, please let us go."

"Really no one instructed them?" the bodyguard asked.

The two shook their heads. "Really, no. We usually chat about celebrity gossip when we have nothing to do! Although we had heard before that Lu Shengsheng's mother was hospitalized in our hospital, she was in the VIP area. We really didn't expect to run into her here for a check-up."
