On the day I was kicked out of my parents’ home, I had a flash marriage with the richest man.

Wu Youyou squatted on the ground and cried for a long time.

I cried until my voice became hoarse, and my eyes could no longer shed tears. They felt dry and stinging, and then I slowly stopped crying.

She curled herself up into a small ball, hugged her knees, rested her chin on them, stared at the air in front of her with red eyes, and said nothing.

Lin Fang stood aside, quietly accompanying Wu Youyou.

He had seen Wu Youyou like a little hedgehog, rude and arrogant, and he had also seen her like a little wolf cub, baring her teeth and claws, but he had never seen her so helpless and confused, as if she was a rag doll abandoned by the world, so lonely and fragile.

After being together for a few years, Lin Fang already regarded Wu Youyou as his sister. He squatted down and gently held Wu Youyou's thin shoulders.

"From now on, you still have me, Sister Tian Yue, Sister En Ning, and Brother Chi An. All of us will be your family."

Lin Fang spoke sincerely, without a trace of falsehood.

But Wu Youyou seemed to be deaf to all that was said. Her heart was filled with pain, a bloody pain.

Before my mother was alive, even though we weren't together for many years, I didn't feel anything. I even felt disgusted and hated her.

Now that my mother is gone, I understand how devastating the loneliness is when the last trace of blood and family ties in the world are severed and a person is left alone.

She doesn't have a mother anymore!

She is alone!

From then on, no one in this world bothered her anymore, which made her hate and dislike him.

She has completely become a rootless duckweed, with no place to go in this world!

Wu Youyou started crying again.

I sat on the ground exhausted, with only tears falling like beads from a broken string, without any sound.

three days later.

Wu Youyou carried Ma Rong's urn to Yuncheng and buried it together with her father Wu Liyou's ashes.

Lin Fang drove Wu Youyou there personally, and Tian Yue stayed by Wu Youyou's side the whole time.

Enning, Chu Manke, Jiang Fei, and Gu Ruoyan all went to Yuncheng together to accompany Wu Youyou to see Ma Rong off for the last time.

Pei Jiayin and Meng Zhidong also went together.

Xu Jing was discharged from the hospital, but he still felt pain between his legs. He returned home on crutches and looked at the empty and large living room. On the sofa was the blanket that Ma Rong often wore.

It was thrown messily on the sofa, as if Ma Rong had just slept on the sofa.

He looked at the crimson blanket and his eyes gradually became moist.

He opened his mouth with difficulty, and uttered difficult words in his hoarse voice.

"Godmother..."

At this time, there was a sound from upstairs.

Xu Jing was stunned and suddenly looked upstairs, staring at the stairs with hope in his eyes.

For a moment, he felt that Ma Rong was still alive and sleeping in the room. He knew he was coming back and was about to come down from the stairs.

But in the end, the person who appeared in the field of vision was Aunt Yuan, carrying a suitcase. When she saw Xu Jing downstairs, she had a stern face and said nothing.

The light in Xu Jing's eyes dimmed, and the corners of his eyes slowly drooped.

He still couldn't accept it. The person who had always been by his side suddenly died and was gone, never to appear again.

Aunt Yuan was carrying her suitcase downstairs. When she passed by Xu Jing, Xu Jing hurriedly called her.

"Aunt Yuan, what did you take?"

Aunt Yuan said coldly, "Don't worry, I didn't steal anything from your house! These are Ms. Ma's belongings. I'll help you pack them up! Send them to Yuncheng and burn them."

This is what Enning instructed.

When a person dies, except for the relics that need to be kept as a memory, the rest will basically be burned or thrown away.

Aunt Yuan looked at the blanket on the sofa. It was a crimson blanket with peony flowers on it. It was obviously a style that older ladies liked. It belonged to Ma Rong.

She walked over, picked up the blanket, folded it, and was about to put it into the suitcase when Xu Jing pulled her back.

"This... leave it to me, as a reminder!" Xu Jing lowered his head weakly, his voice choked with sobs.

Aunt Yuan glanced at Xu Jing, let go of her hand, and dragged the suitcase out.

With the door closed, the huge villa suddenly became empty, as if even breathing could be heard. It was so empty that people felt terrified, as if they were in the belly of a huge beast that would be devoured at any time.

Xu Jing suddenly felt his breathing was suppressed, like a fish out of water in the desert, suffocating and almost unable to breathe.

He limped out of the door with a crutch, breathing in the fresh air outside, gasping for breath. His body became increasingly weak, and he collapsed to his knees along the crutch.

Aunt Yuan hasn't left yet and is waiting for a car at the gate of the courtyard.

The car sent by Enning arrived. The driver was Zhou Zheng. He got out of the car, picked up the suitcase and put it in the trunk.

He was about to get in the car when Xu Jing stopped him.

He limped over and asked Zhou Zheng, "Are you going to Yuncheng? I want to go too. Can you take me with you? I want to... I want to see my godmother off for the last time."

Zhou Zheng looked at Xu Jing with disgust on his face.

"You'd better not go! Don't dirty other people's reincarnation path!"

He didn't want to give Xu Jing a ride, for fear of dirtying the car.

Zhou Zheng snorted, got in the car, slammed the door with a loud noise, and then the car drove out.

Xu Jing staggered after the car, his eyes reddening as he looked at the taillights of the car going away.

Aunt Yuan glared at Xu Jing and was about to leave when Xu Jing stopped her.

"Aunt Yuan, please help me contact a car. I...I really want to give them a ride."

Aunt Yuan looked very unhappy, but she still helped Xu Jing contact a taxi.

Given Xu Jing’s current situation, it’s impossible for him to go to the station to take a bus. It would be more convenient to take a bus directly to the destination.

Xu Jing got in the car and just as he was about to leave the imperial city, he changed his mind again.

He was a little afraid to go, afraid of meeting Enning, Chu Manke, and also afraid that Wu Youyou would blame him. No matter why Ma Rong died, he didn't want to be responsible for another life.

Not far ahead of the car was the Imperial Capital Prison.

He suddenly wanted to go see his mother.

I've always said I'd go see it, but I never have.

He resented his mother. If his mother had not been in prison, he would not have fallen to this point.

If his mother had not hurt his aunt, the relationship between him and Enning and his siblings would not have been so distant.

Thinking of Wu Youyou's heartbroken look after losing her mother, he thought of himself. If one day his mother was gone, would he also be in such pain?

Xu Jing paid the driver a large sum of money and asked him to wait outside the prison.

The mother and son finally met again after many years, but there was not much longing between them.

When Bai Yunru saw Xu Jing, the first thing she asked was, "I heard that your grandpa passed away! Did you get a share of his property? Although I haven't taken care of your grandpa in the past two years, I was the one who took care of him in the past few years!"

"Your uncle cannot negate all the hard work I put in for your grandfather just because I came in."

After Mr. Bai passed away, Bai Jin sent a letter to Bai Yunru to tell her about it, but did not mention the inheritance.

No one came to visit Bai Yunru, so she naturally didn't know what was happening in the outside world.

Xu Jing stared blankly at Bai Yunru across the glass window, holding the microphone, his voice bitter.

"I'm on crutches, why don't you ask me what's wrong? If it were a normal mother, she would be the first to pay attention to this, right?"

Bai Yunru looked at the crutches beside Xu Jing and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Xu Jing didn't want to talk anymore, so he lowered his head and asked, "Besides the inheritance, do you have anything else you want to ask?"

"So did you get your grandfather's inheritance? All my assets have been handed over. Apart from your grandfather's inheritance, I have nothing left to give you! If you don't even get your grandfather's inheritance, then all my efforts over the years have been in vain, right?"

"I'm asking this because I care about you. I'm afraid you don't have money to spend outside! Or have you found a job and can support yourself? Even if you can support yourself, you still have to take your grandfather's inheritance!"
