Chapter 998: As Long As He Is Alive

Ling Sheng made a face at her and let out a snort before turning her head away, refusing to look at her.

Until the car left the cemetery, Ling Sheng finally asked, “Second Uncle, did the eldest daughter of the Dongfang Family really die from lovesickness?”

Yan Yuanfei shook his head and sighed ruefully. “How can a person pass away so easily because of lovesickness? Your Second Aunt said that her body has been weak since she was young. She could even be bedridden for half a month due to a cold.”

There was no hint of resentment within her words. There was only her restrained admiration for that man. She was not a sentimental person, so how could she possibly take to her bed so easily over this?

“Oh!” Ling Sheng nodded. So she was a Little Sister Lin[1] type of beauty. She had not died entirely because of love.

This incident had been the author’s setting from the start to the end, to get the Dongfang Family to hate Second Uncle and Auntie Ruoshui and force people to use morality to oppress them.

“When are you planning to go over? I’ll get Jiang Pei to take you there after I get out of the car.”

“Okay.”

“Did Ah Yan tell you when he’ll be back?”

“Probably tomorrow morning!”

After saying that, Ling Sheng suddenly remembered that before she went to bed, he had even said he would pick her up the next day and take her to the audition. This big fat liar. He had called her again in the morning and said that he had something urgent to attend to and had flown overseas.

“Second Uncle, why are you looking for him?”

“Nothing much actually.”

“Second Uncle, are you really not coming with me? You can wait in the car and watch from afar. You don’t have to get close.”

“No, I won’t go. She’ll discover me.”

After Yan Yuanfei got out of the car, Jiang Pei took Ling Sheng straight to Water Moon Convent.

After Wen Ruoshui finished reading the contents of the diary, she did not speak for a long time. She only stared at the line of words on the last page in a daze, her eyes frighteningly red.

Ling Sheng was very quiet as she simply accompanied her by the side. Since the person beside her wasn’t speaking, she did not dare to speak either.

It was a spring afternoon, and the sun was shining brightly. There was a gentle breeze, but the surrounding atmosphere was so heavy that it was a little difficult to breathe.

Until…

“Did he ask you to deliver it?” Wen Ruoshui lifted her head to look at Ling Sheng.

Ling Sheng nodded. “It’s not convenient for Second Miss Dongfang to come, so she asked me to come. Auntie Ruoshui, if you have anything to say, I can convey it on your behalf.”

Dongfang Meng must be too embarrassed to come over. After all, she had done plenty of excessive things in the past. But it turned out that she had misunderstood the person. This hatred had lasted for more than 20 years. In the end, the two of them had gotten together because of her sister’s approval and the latter even played matchmaker.

“Sheng Sheng.” Wen Ruoshui’s expression was unprecedentedly somber. Her lips curled up in a self-deprecating smile. “You know it. I’m not talking about her. I’m talking about him.”

Ling Sheng’s heart suddenly skipped a beat as she played dumb. “Who? Who are you talking about?”
