Chapter 344 Why Not Cherish It?
Ji Ran pursed her lips.
So it turns out they were referring to this 'etiquette'.
“That’s…that’s great. He Yanchen would be very happy to know that his son admires him so much,” Ji Ran chimed in.
Fan Yao wiped away her tears and gave a bitter smile, "Mm."
Then she saw Ji Ran standing awkwardly at the door, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed herself.
"I'm sorry, Professor Ji... I failed to entertain you properly, and I hope you'll forgive my poor hospitality."
Ji Ran was taken aback, then shook her head. "It's nothing. I don't need any special hospitality. I just came to deliver something."
Fan Yao also discovered that the professor, who was considered the most intelligent person in the eyes of the people, was actually just a child. She was not very worldly and did not know how to get along with others, but she could see that she was trying her best to consider her own feelings. She was simple-minded and very sincere.
He really is a very lovable child.
"Thank you." Fan Yao looked at Ji Ran very sincerely.
Ji Ran shrugged. "I didn't do anything."
I only made this trip because I didn't want to go home and face those complicated family relationships.
"How could you not have done anything?"
Fan Yao took a deep breath.
"If I hadn't seen these things and read this letter, I might never have been willing to come out of my self-deception."
Over the years, her husband disappeared without a word, never leaving her. How could she not resent him? How could she not feel wronged?
She had been holding back a lot of pent-up frustration, and she wanted to unleash it all on him when he returned, to vent her pain to the fullest. But instead, she received the news that he had already died long ago.
In that instant, all her pent-up frustration had no outlet; she felt as if she were being suffocated by a torrent of heavy, suffocating emotions.
She refused to accept this fact, so much so that she didn't even attend his funeral, as if the man who left without a word was still alive in some corner of the world as long as she didn't see it with her own eyes.
It wasn't until she saw these things that she felt relieved and was able to truly cry freely.
“You have no idea how much I resent him. He left right after the baby was born. My life was completely messed up then. We had no parents and no one to help us. Xiaoli was sickly as a child and was often ill. I couldn’t do my job anymore, so I had to learn to do some small business. But the management was strict back then, and I had to hide from people every day while holding my baby and carrying my goods.”
I was truly desperate then. The man who promised to love and care for me forever suddenly disappeared, without reason or explanation. I deeply resented him; why did he abandon me, abandon our vows…
Upon hearing this, Ji Ran suddenly thought of her parents. Qin Wenzhou was suddenly kidnapped, and her mother was also forced away by Fu Luanyin.
Who would willingly leave the one they love?
Fan Yao suddenly changed the subject again.
"But... if I had known... if I had known that the day Xiaoli was born would be the last time we would ever see each other... I would have cherished every second I spent with him even more, and I would have told him 'I love him' so many more times..."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but start sobbing again.
Ji Ran returned to the sofa and sat down. She took out some papers from the coffee table and handed them to Fan Yao.
Then he sighed solemnly.
Did Qin Wenzhou and his mother have such a deep relationship back then? But now they are both still alive and well in this world, so why don't they cherish it?
If Qin Wenzhou really died today, would Mom regret it? Would she cry as bitterly as Fan Yao after truly and completely losing him...?
She instinctively grabbed the man's cold hand beside her and put it into her pocket.
In any case, she will cherish him and never experience this kind of pain again.
The man understood the girl's inner unease, and he felt sorry for her. He simply tightened his grip on her fingertips to let her know that he would never let her experience such pain.
Just then, there was the sound of a key being inserted into the lock outside the door, and immediately afterward, a young man in his early twenties hurriedly broke down the door and entered.
The man was wearing a blue shirt, buttoned all the way up, impeccably dressed, and carrying a slightly wrinkled suit jacket with a Chinese badge on his collar, clearly an official.
His anxious eyes were clear and honest, exuding a youthful yet upright air.
He Li spotted his weeping mother immediately and rushed forward anxiously.
"Mom? What's wrong?"
Before Fan Yao could speak, he turned to look at Ji Ran beside him, about to question her.
"Are you..."
But the moment he saw the stunningly beautiful face opposite him, his words caught in his throat.
This girl...
"Professor Ji??"
Ji Ran was taken aback, speechless.
How come everyone knows her?
This feeling is really annoying; it makes me lose all my mystery.
“You…” He Li glanced at his mother, who was still choking back tears, then turned to look at Ji Ran. “What… what’s going on?”
I'm completely baffled.
Ji Ran pursed her lips, unsure how to explain. Her eyes caught sight of the letter on the coffee table, so she leaned forward and moved it a little closer.
"Your dad wrote it, take a look."
He Li was stunned, never expecting it to be related to his father.
He didn't dawdle; he picked it up and started reading right away.
As he read each word, even this grown man's eyes instantly welled up with tears. He didn't break down and cry, but his shoulders trembled slightly.
His gaze shifted and he saw several heavy gold bars lying in the wooden box on his mother's lap, as well as the jade pendant his mother was holding in her hand. These must be the ones his father had mentioned in the letter.
He looked up at Ji Ran in surprise, wondering why these things would be sent by an unexpected person.
"How...how did you know about my father..."
Ji Ran pursed her lips and made up another story.
"A dream message? Have you ever heard of that?"
He Li was stunned, but it was clear that he seemed to believe it more than his mother.
After all, his mother has been staying away from the internet and communication lately, and doesn't watch the news.
But he reads it every day, so he naturally knows that Ji Ran's research project, which shocked the global scientific community, is closely related to Commander Qi.
Logically speaking, the time between Commander Qi's death and her father's death should not be too long. Professor Ji was probably not even born at that time. If she could be so familiar with Commander Qi, who was virtually unknown in China, then she must also know about her father.
Could it be that she really has some special ability? Can she see people that others can't?
"Then...can you...dream of him again?" He Li managed to utter this question after a long pause.
Ji Ran was stunned, never expecting that the other party would actually believe such an absurd thing.
Why...why are you asking this?
“I…” He Li hesitated before speaking, “I also want to say a few words to my father. If you can dream of him… could you help me convey his message?”
Ji Ran was taken aback, a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes.
