His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 1822: Chapter 519: Angry

”Miss, this is...”

”I wonder if my mom is still willing to see him!”

Qin Mu mumbled these words, barely audible, so the aunt couldn’t hear clearly, but she had a sense of foreboding.

——

After answering Mr. Wang’s call, Qin Mingzhu was in a daze, thinking of calling Qin Mu, but before she could, her husband Wang Huanyu received a call first.

”Your father, he’s gone!”

Wang Huanyu returned to the bedroom, gently stroking her arm repeatedly, before finally managing to say these few words.

”Where did he go? Was he transferred somewhere else?”

Qin Mingzhu looked at him in confusion, asking him, feeling a vague discomfort in her heart, but it wasn’t clear.

Her voice, unusually soft, as Wang Huanyu slowly embraced her: ”Mingzhu, he went to find Mother!”

Wang Huanyu’s voice was very low as well, only able to hold her gently to comfort her.

Qin Mingzhu suddenly couldn’t find her voice, just blankly staying in his arms, like a child.

They soon set off, heading to Rongcheng.

Meanwhile, in Rongcheng, though all was silent, it felt stiflingly oppressive.

By evening, Qin Mu was still at the Qin Family’s place and hadn’t left; Mu Yichen returned home briefly before going to the Qin Family’s place.

Uncle Wang and the aunt left after Mu Yichen arrived; Qin Mu was holding Qin Haiming’s urn, not as tightly as during the day, but still not letting go.

Mu Yichen walked over, sat beside her, and raised his arm to embrace her.

”Don’t touch me!”

Qin Mu’s voice was as cold as ice.

Mu Yichen’s eyes showed a flicker of confusion for a second or two, but moments later, he stood up again.

She blamed him for not protecting her father-in-law.

His people had been by Qin Haiming’s side, but they missed something crucial.

He knew Qin Haiming shouldn’t have left just like that, but gone was gone.

Qin Mu looked down at the small box, unable to hold back a tear or two spilling down, her eyes burning hot.

Five years ago, she returned home, and now, having just barely entered his life, after only a few short years, they’re parted again.

And this time, it’s forever.

Qin Mu suddenly clutched that little box tightly, lowering her forehead onto it, and started sobbing uncontrollably.

Later, when Qin Mingzhu and Wang Huanyu came back, Qin Mu finally set the box down. Qin Mingzhu had already cried herself to swollen eyes, and upon seeing Qin Mu at the door, she rushed over and hugged her, immediately bursting into tears.

Qin Mu, usually the composed one, in Qin Mingzhu’s presence, couldn’t help but hug her back, tightly restrained, yet unable to suppress the tears from flowing.

After Qin Mu and Qin Mingzhu went back to their room, Wang Huanyu and Mu Yichen smoked outside. To them, Qin Haiming’s sudden passing was a heavy blow as well.

Strangers at first, they became family because of the two women.

Mu Yichen recalled that throughout his life, the most Qin Haiming said to him was to be good to Qin Mu, to be responsible for Qin Mu. When Mu Yichen thought one day Qin Mu and Qin Haiming would be a harmonious father-daughter pair, Qin Haiming’s car suddenly exploded on the road.

Wang Huanyu also pondered on the way how could such a thing happen.

That night was destined to be peaceful; as the two sisters slept in one room, Mu Yichen and Wang Huanyu slept on the sofa.

In the morning, Mu Yichen prepared breakfast in the kitchen while Wang Huanyu was on the phone outside. The two sisters, both wearing black dresses, came downstairs with red-rimmed eyes, though their spirits were somewhat better.

However, Qin Mingzhu never let go of Qin Mu’s arm, sticking close to her side.

Wang Huanyu, finishing his call and looking up, saw them coming down the stairs, and only exchanged a silent glance with Qin Mu as a greeting. Qin Mingzhu didn’t even look at him; they were still a loving couple just yesterday, but now, he stood there like an outsider, Qin Mingzhu’s eyes always lowered, clinging to Qin Mu’s side.

The four of them had breakfast together in silence, then took a car to the cemetery, with the Mu Family arriving shortly after with the kids. Others like Qiao Yi and Yang Bo, Jing Qing and Helian Hao, Jiang Zhiyuan and his wife, Zhao Huai and his wife, and several others around Qin Mu’s and Mu Yichen’s age came too.

The area near the cemetery was filled with various luxury cars, all coordinated in black this time.

Everyone dressed neatly and stood solemnly to bid farewell to Qin Haiming.
