"He must be planning to live with that vixen," Liu Xiuzhen continued to speak indiscriminately on the phone.
Hearing Liu Xiuzhen once again bring Bai Cuifen into the conversation for no reason, Qinglan could not take it anymore and hurriedly interrupted, "Mother, how does this have anything to do with the Empress? Father is going to Shenzhen to see my brother; how could it be to live with her?"
"You don't know, Lanlan. I heard that Shaw Min has been promoted again in Shenzhen, and the company’s boss likes her. She plans to bring that vixen to Shenzhen to live with her. You tell me, your father wanting to go to Shenzhen at this time—what else could it be but to be with her? Going to find Ah Wei is just an excuse," Liu Xiuzhen huffed.
When Shaw Min was mentioned, Qinglan suddenly remembered that she hadn't focused on any news about An Shaojie for a long time. He seemed to have distanced himself from everyone; previously, there were rumors about him pursuing a girl in another college, but there had been no news lately.
Had their relationship been confirmed and stabilized? Or had they broken up? Usually, only these two outcomes would calm the love stories in a university campus.
In the world of love, the pursuit is always more noteworthy than the outcome; the process is always passionate, while the result is often mundane!
"Lanlan, please come back for a while," Liu Xiuzhen suddenly pleaded helplessly. "If your father really goes to Shenzhen, even if he doesn't divorce, what am I supposed to do alone at home? With your grandfather's health like this, he could leave at any time, and your grandma is so old now. How can I take care of everything by myself? You know that all the family matters were handled by your father; I’ve never interfered with farming issues. If he leaves, I won’t be able to manage. What if he really ends up living with that vixen in Shenzhen? What will I do? What will you do? What will your brother do?"
Qinglan listened quietly to Liu Xiuzhen's words.
"Come back and talk some sense into your father; he loves you the most and listens to you. Now that you're studying at university in Beijing, he'll pay more attention to your opinions," Liu Xiuzhen pleaded.
Qinglan was deep in thought.
"Okay, I'll ask for leave from my advisor and come back," Qinglan finally said after a moment of silence.
"Oh, that's great! Mother didn't raise you for nothing," Liu Xiuzhen expressed her surprise on the other end of the line.
Setting aside what Liu Xiuzhen said, Qinglan felt it was reasonable for her to return home. Her father was choosing to drift away from his hometown at such an old age; even if it wasn't for the reasons Liu Xiuzhen mentioned, as his beloved daughter, she should go home and talk to him as a friend. She wanted to ask him what sorrowful reasons led him to choose leaving home and abandoning his family at this stage of life when he should be caring for two elderly people who needed him most.
Even if his reasons were indeed as Liu Xiuzhen said, she should still go home and see him off.
Who doesn't have love in their heart? Love knows no age, status, or position. No one's love is heavier or deeper than anyone else's.
Qinglan has gradually come to understand the true essence of love. She realizes that even though her Father is a farmer, his love is not as brilliant and flamboyant as that of college students and young people, he still has the right and qualification to possess something he can comprehend, called **love**.
People may be humble, but love is never humble.
Qinglan wants to go home and listen to her Father’s thoughts; perhaps she can understand him.
For so many years, she has been hearing the Villagers gossip about the relationship between Qing Shusheng and Bai Cuifen. No matter how the stories are told, Qinglan has never asked her Father about his true feelings, whether he really thinks what the Villagers say he thinks.
Although Qinglan believes her Father would not act as the Villagers claim, has he ever had such thoughts?
In the past, Qinglan did not dare to ask and never thought to inquire.
But now she has grown up and encountered love herself, a love that leaves her feeling helpless and troubled.
So she wants to listen, or rather, she wants to try to grow up more and embrace all forms of love.
Perhaps this could lead her to a door for her own love, whether that door is an exit or an entrance.
After asking for leave from her counselor, the next day Qinglan hurriedly went to the train station to buy a ticket home. It was Xu Wen who took Qinglan to the train station.
Before going home, Qinglan sought out An Shaojie. This was after a long time without direct contact with him. To be precise, after hearing that An Shaojie was pursuing a girl, Qinglan had rarely interacted with him directly. This was her first time reaching out to An Shaojie directly.
When she received a call from Liu Xiuzhen, it was dinner time, so after hanging up, Qinglan went straight to An Shaojie’s dormitory to find him.
She could have called his dormitory to reach him, but Qinglan felt that talking on the phone with An Shaojie felt strange. She had never thought about it before—was it odd? Could she really talk on the phone with him? Would his voice be gentler over the phone? Or colder?
These were not the reasons.
However, Qinglan had already grown accustomed to all the original patterns between them, including face-to-face conversations. Looking at his indifferent face, even though her heart ached, she had become used to this pain.
She sought him out just to tell him one thing: she was going home for a while.
As she expected, he glanced at her coldly, said nothing, and turned to leave.
Perhaps he found her boring, or maybe he thought she was just making excuses to see him.
But Qinglan only wanted to tell him about home, that place where both her family and his were located, nestled in the mountains where she cherished her most nostalgic memories.
Upon returning home, Qing Shusheng had indeed already bought tickets to Shenzhen and had even packed his luggage.
Not only had Qing Shusheng truly decided to go to Shenzhen, but he also told Liu Xiuzhen that he wanted a divorce.
Liu Dezhou seemed unaware of this; he still lay upstairs and rarely came down.
As for Grandma, although she was happy to see Qinglan return, she could never manage to wear the same bright smile as before when she came home.
Her mood seemed heavy and suppressed. During their conversation, she often sighed or shook her head.
"Ah, there isn't anyone who puts one's mind at ease, except for our Lanlan," Grandma said kindly as she looked at Qinglan and smiled. "Oh, Grandma, why did Father suddenly decide to go to Shenzhen?" Qinglan asked while sitting in the yard with Grandma, helping her pick vegetables. Before coming home, Qinglan had planned to ask Qing Shusheng all the questions that weighed on her mind. However, upon returning home, she found that Father had changed a lot this time. No matter what happened in the family before, he never showed her any negative emotions; he was always loving and gentle towards her. He could endure a lot in front of her; even if he was unhappy inside, he would immediately hide away all his unhappiness upon seeing her. In fact, it wasn't just hiding it away; after seeing her, all his unhappiness would vanish completely.
