Originally, she thought that after what they said on the phone that day, Lin Shu would not come to see her again for the time being.

But I didn't expect to see Lin Shu at the door of the dance troupe on Thursday.

When I got closer, I realized that she looked much more haggard.

The dark circles under his eyes make his eye sockets look deep and sunken, and he no longer looks as radiant as before when he was recuperating at home.

The two men met without saying a word, and Lin Zhujin could probably guess what was going on.

Just as he was about to speak, Lin Shu said something first.

"Your grandmother passed away on Monday, and the funeral will be held in two days. As her granddaughter, you should at least come to pay your respects in front of the coffin."

Lin Zhujin looked normal. People said not to bother with the dead, but she insisted on making a fuss about it. She couldn't do something like offering sacrifices in front of the coffin.

"I won't go. It's enough for you to be filial to her."

Lin Shu was already immersed in the pain of losing his mother.

It's clear that Zhu Jin has been well-behaved and obedient since he was young, so how come he has become so cold-blooded and heartless now?

Lin Zhujin was just about to pass by, but before she could take a step, the wind beside her ear made a buzzing sound, stopping her in her tracks. Her eyes were dull and she raised her head slightly, with a hint of disbelief in them.

Before she could react to the pain on her cheek, she heard bursts of tinnitus in her ears.

She pulled her lips and only then felt the burning pain on her cheek.

She swallowed, the words going over in her mind again and again.

When he lowered his eyes to look, Lin Shu's hands were still shaking.

But the other party raised his voice to question her, and his words were ruthless and indifferent.

"Your grandma was still thinking about you when she passed away. Are you so heartless?"

"How could I have a daughter like you? Are you still human?"

"Who taught you to be so cold-blooded these years?"

Heartless and cold-blooded.

These adjectives are really suitable to describe him.

Lin Zhujin suddenly laughed, as if he was laughing at himself, at his own stupidity.

"Yes, I am ruthless, but this is all your fault, isn't it? You said she missed me before she left. Was she missing me or was she missing the benefits I could bring to you?"

After saying this, the expression on Lin Shu's face froze.

You see, she knows her so well that just one sentence can make her hesitate for so long.

Lin Shu's words got stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them. After a long while, he managed to utter: "But..."

"No buts, Lin Shu. This slap today has completely wiped out the little mother-daughter relationship we have. You haven't experienced my life, so you have no right to comment on it."

After saying that, she took out a bright yellow peace and blessing from her bag and put it directly in her hand without even caring whether she was holding it firmly.

"This is the only thing you asked me for, and now, I'm giving it back to you."

After saying this, she turned around swiftly, and the moment she turned around, the peace and blessing fell silently to the ground.

Lin Shu looked at the peace blessing. She even remembered that she was smiling when she gave it to Lin Zhujin that day.

She regretted it when that slap just now.

But he still acted on impulse.

When I looked up again and saw the direction where Lin Zhujin was walking away, her shadow was gone.

-

Lin Zhujin asked for leave from his leader on the subway. If he had gone there with such a face, there would probably have been controversy again.

Lin Shu used all his strength, and when he got home, Lin Zhujin already felt unbearable pain on his face.

Fortunately, I always have ice packs and other things at home.

Just as I put the ice pack on my face, Li Xiangfu's video call came in as if she had predicted the future.

She answered it directly. She had nothing to hide from Li Xiangfu.

Li Xiangfu is currently trying new cocktails in the bar newly opened by his brother Li Youting. Although the bar is dimly lit, Li Xiangfu's eyesight is not blurry.

She clearly saw an ice pack on Lin Zhujin's left cheek.

"What's wrong with your face?"

The left side of her face was obviously red and swollen, and the emotions that Li Xiangfu originally wanted to share with her were immediately suppressed.

It's obvious from his face that he's been beaten.

Lin Zhujin held the ice pack in one hand and applied it to his face.

"Being beaten, my mother."

She said it lightly, neither light nor heavy.

"Your mother? No, your mother is sick?"

Li Xiangfu's voice was a little loud, attracting the attention of people around her. Li Youting also heard it, and seeing the anger on her face that was about to be uncontrollable, he planned to go over and ask what was going on.

On the other end of the video, Lin Zhujin sneered: "She has always been sick."

I thought she was better, but now it seems she hasn't been better in all these years.

Li Xiangfu felt pain just watching the video, and said hurriedly: "Wait, I'll be there right now."

After speaking, I hung up.

She was getting up from her seat when Li Youting came over.

"What's the matter? You're in a hurry."

"I won't talk to you anymore, brother. Jinjin got beaten up and I have to go check it out right away."

Li Youting originally had no impression of Lin Zhujin, but when he saw Wen Yunsheng being so special to her when they met in the villa last time, he couldn't help but ask one more question.

"Who was beaten?"

Li Xiangfu was in a hurry and didn't explain much.

"It's Lin Zhujin, my best friend. Why are you asking so many questions?"

Li Youting frowned slightly, and Li Xiangfu broke free from his hand and walked out.

He hesitated for a while and finally took out his cell phone and called Wen Yunsheng.

-

When Li Xiangfu arrived, the redness and swelling on Lin Zhujin's face had subsided a lot, but the marks left were still clearly visible.

It’s probably because the video has its own skin smoothing.

Only when you see it with your own eyes do you realize how much effort the other person has put in.

This is her own daughter. I have never seen a mother like this.

Li Xiangfu has grown up in an environment where her father loves her mother and she cannot understand Lin Shu's behavior.

Li Xiangfu was not clear about what happened to Lin Zhujin in the past, but Lin Zhujin still told her a few things.

When Lin Zhujin was born, his mother was actually pregnant with twins. However, because she insisted on natural delivery, the first one, Lin Zhujin, survived, but the other one died due to suffocation.

At first, she kept it a secret from Lin's mother, but her mother found out when she was two years old.

He became ill after that and often said he saw his dead son.

During that period, there were some problems in the relationship between Lin's father and mother, so in the end it was decided that Lin's father would take Lin's mother abroad for treatment.

Lin Zhujin, who was only four years old, had to be raised at her grandmother's home.

After that, he was brought back when he was fifteen, and met Li Xiangfu in high school.

Although she didn't know the whole story, Li Xiangfu still believed in Lin Zhujin. She had always been weak in character and never tried to stand out in anything.

Such a person must have suffered a lot in the past.

Li Xiangfu did not eat lunch at Lin Zhujin's house. The two chatted for a few words, and when he saw that she fell asleep, he covered her with a blanket and left.

When she came down from upstairs, she saw a luxury car parked at the door. The license plate seemed to have been seen somewhere before, but she had something else to do, so she left without looking at it any further.

Lin Zhujin woke up at five in the afternoon. He was a little hungry as he hadn't eaten yet.

I checked in the bathroom and found that the redness and swelling had subsided a lot and the marks were not as obvious. It should heal faster if I apply some medicine.

After checking the temperature outside, she casually put on some home clothes and went out.

When winter comes, Lin Zhujin likes these furry things, such as long furry home clothes and hats, which make him feel like he is wrapped in clothes.

It is said that people who wake up at 5 pm are the loneliest.

Lin Zhujin felt the same way. He had just sorted and thrown away the garbage he had brought with him. When he turned around, he saw Wen Yunsheng leaning against the car door.

It was a chilly winter day, and he just stood there. When he looked up, the snow had melted.

Lin Zhujin thought of the short sentences she had copied down when reading in the library in college. There was a sentence she once liked very much, but at that time she thought she would never have that feeling, but now, she felt it.

[If you look at me, I will melt away in the warmth, like snow in a volcano.] - "Jesusalem"
