Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1029: Chapter 1029: Wishing You a Lifetime Together

Shen Qingqing has a very deep memory of Xu Mei’s cherished Twist Bracelet. No matter how many years passed, seeing this bracelet made Shen Qingqing recognize it instantly as Xu Mei’s.

"You recognize this, right?" Gu Hang brought the Twist Bracelet closer and placed it before Shen Qingqing. From Shen Qingqing’s expression, Gu Hang already knew she recognized it.

Gu Hang picked up the Twist Bracelet and said, "You want to ask, why is it in my hands?"

Shen Qingqing was cornered on the sofa, unable to retreat any further. In front of her was the enlarged Twist Bracelet. Because it had been so long, it looked somewhat old. Xu Mei’s image in her mind gradually became clear.

Xu Mei, her appearance and name were completely different. She was graceful and generous, and when she smiled, it was sweet, giving people a sunny and positive feeling, totally unlike the word "Mei."

Sometimes Shen Qingqing would also be jealous of Xu Mei; she lived too freely. Even though life didn’t give Xu Mei a good background, didn’t let Xu Mei be born with a silver spoon like her, she still lived freely.

"Your Lian Family is rich, huh? A human life, compensated with fifty thousand." Gu Hang’s seemingly mocking words made Shen Qingqing interrupt, saying, "No, Gu Hang, Xu Mei died in a car accident, it had nothing to do with me."

"Heh."

Gu Hang sneered, questioning, "Lian Qingqing, if it weren’t for your unreasonable behavior, would Xu Mei have been pushed away by you and died in a car accident?"

"You were angry and pushed Xu Mei away, yet at the critical moment, Xu Mei still pushed you away." Thinking of the situation at that time, Gu Hang wished he could punch himself. He should have categorically refused when he broke up with Lian Qingqing, not think about Lian Qingqing’s feelings, not think about those short yet beautiful days.

In doing so, he wouldn’t have let Lian Qingqing keep coming to him again and again, and wouldn’t have caused Xu Mei to intervene in their fight and then be pushed onto the road by Lian Qingqing.

Xu Mei, how kind she was, even at the moment of danger, she still pushed Lian Qingqing away.

"I, I wasn’t unreasonable, I, I didn’t deliberately kill her, it was all because of that driver."

Shen Qingqing closed her eyes. Her voice was loud, but the louder her voice, the more it masked her guilty conscience.

It’s because she was discontented, because of jealousy, that she felt Gu Hang broke up with her because of Xu Mei. No matter how Xu Mei explained, no matter how Gu Hang explained, she wouldn’t listen.

Even though she knew deep down that Xu Mei wasn’t someone who would steal a friend’s boyfriend, jealousy had already eroded her rationality; Shen Qingqing felt that by arguing like this, it seemed like she could bring people back.

Unfortunately, Gu Hang didn’t come back, instead, it cost Xu Mei’s life.

She pushed Xu Mei during a quarrel and didn’t notice the car coming beside them. Originally, she and Xu Mei should have both been hit by the car, but at the critical moment, Xu Mei pushed her away.

Xu Mei’s life just vanished like that.

This matter hit her hard, so after the college entrance exam, she chose to go abroad.

"Ask yourself, does Xu Mei’s death have nothing to do with you? Do you not feel guilty?" Gu Hang sternly questioned.

Shen Qingqing’s face was pale as paper, her lips trembling as she said, "Gu Hang, you insist on bringing this up on my wedding day, what do you want? It’s been so long, do you still want me to pay with my life?"

Xu Mei’s death, she was partially responsible, her family compensated with fifty thousand, why does Gu Hang still cling to this matter?

"Haha." Gu Hang’s deep gaze looked at Lian Qingqing, and in her eyes, there wasn’t a trace of remorse or guilt. Gu Hang took a deep breath, put the bracelet away, and said, "Money can’t buy back life, nor peace of mind."

Upon saying that, Gu Hang turned and left, the tightly closed door opened, and Fan Ming was standing at the entrance.

Shen Qingqing hadn’t recovered from Gu Hang’s words yet, and seeing Fan Ming, she instinctively felt guilty. Her eyes flickered, and before she could speak, she heard Gu Hang say, "Mr. Fan, I wish you and Miss Lian Qingqing a long and happy life together."

The words "long and happy life" were spoken by Gu Hang while looking at Shen Qingqing, but there wasn’t any genuine blessing in his words.

After speaking, Gu Hang left.

Fan Ming and Shen Qingqing were left in the lounge. Shen Qingqing’s eyes shifted around, not knowing what to say, nor did she know how much Fan Ming had heard. She stammered to explain, "He is a classmate from high school, didn’t expect to meet him here."

Shen Qingqing didn’t know what to say.

Fan Ming walked forward, his expression unchanged, wrapped his arm around Shen Qingqing’s shoulder, and gently said, "Qingqing, since it’s a high school classmate, why not let him stay for the wedding banquet? What’s wrong, are you feeling unwell?"

"Brother Ming, he has things to do, not staying." Shen Qingqing thought anxiously, maybe Fan Ming hadn’t heard anything.

Afterward, Fan Ming, attentive and considerate, together completed the wedding ceremony flawlessly, allowing Shen Qingqing’s anxious heart to gradually settle down.

At night, Shen Qingqing was pregnant, naturally, there wasn’t a traditional wedding night, but Fan Ming was very considerate, stayed with her talking for a long while, and even gave her all the wedding gifts. It was a large sum of gifts, enough to instantly make an ordinary person a little rich.

After Shen Qingqing fell asleep, Fan Ming woke up. Seeing she was sound asleep, he called someone over and said, "Go, investigate Madam’s high school affairs, and someone named Gu Hang."

"Yes."

The person received the orders and retreated. Fan Ming lit a cigarette, thinking about the day’s events, gradually falling into deep thought.

"Dad, this wine is good, but you must drink less."

Lian Qingyang watched Lian He drink cup after cup of medicinal wine, although Tang Yue’s homemade wine was beneficial and healthy, but still, moderation is necessary.

"Xiao Yang, this was specially made by your sister for me." Lian He’s face was slightly flushed, looking very pleased.

Lian Qingyang: "..."

Seriously, just a bit of wine, and dad is this pleased?

To know all these years, it’s been his sister making clothes for him by hand, yet he’s never been as pleased as dad?

"You’re not young anymore, don’t let your sister worry about your lifelong matters. If you don’t care yourself, do you expect me to randomly set you up?" Lian He glanced at him, asking, "Your mom has also been concerned about your marriage; shouldn’t you consider it?"

Lian He was not anxious, but Tang Yue often talked about this issue, so Lian He also began to worry.

"Dad, your son is so outstanding, what’s there to worry about in lifelong matters?" Lian Qingyang couldn’t help but tug at his ear.

’Slap.’

Zhang Hualian walked up, and a light slap landed on Lian Qingyang’s head, saying, "Xiao Yang, mom wants to be a grandmother; you’re twenty-seven, why can’t you worry about lifelong matters?"
