She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1255: Chapter 1325: A Houseful of Madmen

“Xiao Hai holds a grudge against me! Let alone her, I even hold a grudge against myself.”

Gradually, Su Jiang started talking more and more, and eventually fell asleep leaning against the gravestone. The assistant watching from afar saw that Su Hai and Su Huai’an had both gone down the mountain, but their President hadn’t come down yet, so she hurried up to check.

The President had actually fallen asleep hugging the gravestone, with a suspicious trace of tears on his face.

After much effort, the assistant managed to send Su Jiang back to the courtyard. As soon as they entered, the place reeked of alcohol. The assistant almost staggered from the fumes. Su Hai, Su Huai’an, Chen Yingjie, and Meng Ping were all there.

The four of them were sitting on the wicker chair that Mr. Su used to love sitting on the most, drinking… how to put it! It was indescribable. The Su family’s alcohol tolerance was impressive; several empty bottles were placed in front of them, but if you said they were drunk, their eyes looked clear.

If you said they weren’t drunk, they didn’t seem sober either.

Seeing Su Jiang return, the three people barely lifted their eyelids and pretended not to see him.

The assistant awkwardly propped him up and sent Su Jiang back to his room. On the way upstairs, passing by Sheng Ning’s old room, he was startled by the person inside.

“Captain Xu, how did you get out of the hospital?” The assistant felt like he was going crazy, there were no normal people here. No wonder he saw Chen Yingjie in the courtyard just now; they really were inseparable, where one was the other was bound to be.

“Your superiors have requested that you cannot be discharged, you must rest properly. Did you get the doctor’s permission to leave?”

Xu Qigang kept his eyes closed, ignoring him for a long time.

Fine! He shouldn’t be talking to a madman, among a room full of madmen, Captain Xu was the craziest.

No one knew when, but Xu Qigang finally opened his eyes. His pitch-black pupils were fathomless, as if hiding some primordial beast within, carrying with it insanity, despair, sorrow, grief, and the power to destroy everything.

The newly restored room had been completely brought back to the way it was when they first moved in. Looking at all the familiar things in front of him, it was as if Xiao Ning was still smiling kindly at him, talking about their hopes for the future of their child.

Listening to Xiao Ning’s voice, it seemed to have a calming power.

He closed his eyes again, dreaming of her, making him never want to wake up.

“Captain.” Chen Yingjie’s voice came from outside the door.

Xu Qigang, like an agile leopard, jumped off the bed immediately. “What’s wrong?”

“Let’s head back to the unit! We need to prepare to depart tomorrow.”

“Alright.” He rubbed his forehead, got up, and picked up a notebook from the coffee table, walking outside.

“Captain, are you alright?” Chen Yingjie asked cautiously.

“I’m fine!”

Chen Yingjie was almost in tears, how could he be fine? The more he said he was fine, the more worried Chen Yingjie became! Obviously, something was wrong.

The way Xu Qigang looked now, not just Chen Yingjie, anyone would be worried. From his initial frantic search, risking his life in the seawater, if not for the second-in-command going there personally, he would’ve surely died there.

After coming back, he was hospitalized, and from then on, everyone was even more worried.

Remaining silent, sometimes not saying a word for half a day, even a glance from him would have you worried. Su Jiang blamed himself to such an extent, just imagine how much Xu Qigang blamed himself.

Normal people need to vent, to let out all those desperate, sorrowful emotions before they can start to recover. But Xu Qigang was terrifyingly calm, without a hint of loss of control.
