Rebirth of the Superpower Queen

Chapter 171 The Grudges and Hatred of the Previous Generation

While Meng Zhiling was speaking, she kept looking at the woman with a bright and cheerful smile on the tombstone. She had the same big eyes and shallow dimples as Mingzhu, but the temperaments of the two mother and daughter were different. The grandmother was obviously more lively and cheerful than the mother, and more sunny.

Maybe my mother was like that before, but later she experienced the departure of too many relatives and too many joys and sorrows, so she gradually became too quiet and silent.

"You're right. No matter what, I've let your grandmother down. Even if I die, I won't be able to see her again or ask for her forgiveness. But I'm not here today to let you hear my confession, nor am I here to put on a show. I just want to tell you one thing: how your grandmother died."

Ming Shunde said lightly, his eyes and heart filled with the smiling woman in the photo. For decades, he had dreamed of her every day. He dreamed of her smiling at him, acting coquettishly to him, quarreling with him, and even dreamed of her walking away from him.

Every night was torture for him, but he never expected that he would endure it until he was halfway through his life.

"Didn't he die of anger because of you? Wasn't he killed by your current Mrs. Ming?" Meng Zhiling looked at Ming Shunde. She was not sure of Ming Shunde's purpose, so she could only use these words to stimulate him and see his emotional fluctuations to determine the truthfulness of what he said.

"Yes, indeed, she was mad at me to death. But this incident really has nothing to do with Yumei. When your grandmother died, I only met Yumei once."

"Back then, your grandmother became a little depressed because her family fell into poverty. Pregnancy is prone to overthinking, and she always thought I was seeing someone else. One day, she accidentally saw me and Wang Yumei sitting together in a coffee shop and thought I was with her. But I swear to God, I was just discussing a partnership with Wang Yumei at the time. After that, the relationship between your grandmother and I kept getting worse. She wouldn't listen to anything I said. I thought she would get better after giving birth to your mother, but she got even worse. Add to that the Wang family's appreciation for me at the time, and someone else's instigation, and that was the last straw that broke the camel's back. By the time I got home that evening, your grandmother had already committed suicide by taking pills."

Ming Shunde seemed to be telling a very long story, a story he had never told anyone before, nor had he ever seriously recalled the scene at that time.

"Haha, the story is indeed wonderful, but it's not very touching. Are you trying to shirk responsibility for your mistakes and Wang Yumei's mistakes? I don't want to know whether you loved her at that time. I just want to know, were you instigating discord behind her? You knew that your wife had depression?" Meng Zhiling looked at Ming Shunde sharply, her eyes seemed trying to penetrate his thick flesh and see directly into his heart.

"But only after she passed away did I discover that her depression wasn't caused by her family's decline, but rather by the fact that she had been diagnosed with advanced leukemia while pregnant. Ultimately, she hid the truth from the world. Later, I spoke with the doctor who treated her, and he said he had recommended an abortion out of fear of a recessive genetic risk. She refused, saying that as long as the genetic risk wasn't 100%, she would risk her own life to save the child."

Ming Shunde choked up when he said this. He didn't want to say anything more, but since he had already started talking, there was no turning back.

He looked at the gray sky, paused, and then continued, "Luckily, Mingzhu was born healthy, but her condition worsened day by day. I think she quarreled with me every day at that time. I guess she wanted to drive me away from her. She just used such a stupid method. Her purpose was to leave in the worst condition so that I would not miss her anymore and would not feel guilty about her death so that I could move on with my life."

Meng Zhiling followed the final truth and looked at the woman with a bright smile. She was almost moved to tears by what Ming Shunde said.

She didn't say anything, but squatted down silently and wiped her spotless photo, "Why are you so stupid?"

"Yeah, that's so stupid. There's another thing. The last time Mingzhu disappeared, I was also investigating, but I found out that she came here to pay tribute to your grandmother on the day she disappeared, and then she never came back."

"Really? But why, when my people came to investigate the matter, did your Ming family say that Mingzhu had not left the house the entire day?" Meng Zhiling questioned, but Ming Shunde could not answer. It could be seen that perhaps he was also investigating this strange matter.

After saying that, she went down the mountain. She didn't know whether what Ming Shunde said was true or not, but she didn't have the heart to ask him to find out the whole story. She was afraid that what Ming Shunde said was true, and that the truth that she and Mingzhu had been pursuing for so long turned out to be such a touching story.

She doesn't need a touching side to her life.

This time, she did not go back to Ming's house directly, but returned to her own apartment. She had not been back for a long time, and it seemed that even here was filled with sadness.

"Ah..." Meng Zhiling just opened the bathroom door and heard a girl's scream, which seemed a little familiar. Otherwise, she would have shot a cold light in the direction of the scream, hoping to destroy her.

"Zhiling, are you back?" A delicate voice came from the bathroom. After hearing that voice so often, Meng Zhiling would suspect that her ears were pregnant.

"Who?" Meng Zhiling asked cautiously. Although she felt that the voice was very familiar, she couldn't match it with anyone she knew.

He seemed to hear Meng Zhiling's voice from inside, and he let out a long sigh, feeling relieved.

"Wait for me, I'll be out soon." Immediately afterwards, she heard the sound of flushing coming from the inner room. Meng Zhiling frowned, and sure enough, he came to the living room, sat quietly on the sofa, waiting for her.

Hearing footsteps, Meng Zhiling turned around and saw a woman who was even smaller than herself, with a small nose, big almond eyes, and a small cherry mouth. She looked particularly cute and antique, especially her lively eyes. Meng Zhiling always felt that she was very familiar.

Although she is not tall, the light green cheongsam she wears adds a lot to her height and figure. Her hair is tied up high, which makes people feel that such a woman should not belong to this world. Her tranquil temperament and classical appearance are always incompatible with today's fast-paced society.

"What? Don't you recognize me?" The woman giggled, and her seemingly calm temperament was immediately broken. As soon as the voice came out, she seemed to be the same classical little beauty.

Meng Zhiling looked at her with a frown. Indeed, she had no impression of her at all. If she was a former friend of this body, there was no reason why she could find her way here and enter the apartment without damaging any doors or windows.

"Who are you?" Because of the above thoughts, Meng Zhiling asked vigilantly. Besides, she was already worried when she came back and didn't see Qiao Surong. In addition, there was such a mysterious person in the house. According to Meng Zhiling's temper, she didn't start killing right away. It was completely out of that inexplicable sense of familiarity, and she was giving her face.

"Alas, it seems that you really don't care about me that much. You can't even recognize me." After the woman finished speaking, she immediately waved her hands, and a ball of gold powder flew out from around her body as if with special effects. She looked as beautiful as a fairy in the sky.

"Are you the goldfinch?" Meng Zhiling looked at the flapping of its hands, and somehow, she suddenly thought of the goldfinch's lively eyes and the way it flapped its wings, and asked in surprise.

His mouth was open and didn't close for a long time.

"Ahem, my real name isn't Gold Sparrow. Come, let me formally introduce myself. My name is Feiyu, Hou Feiyu. Due to some unexpected circumstances, I was trapped in that place. Now that the curse is over and I've regained my human form, I'm going back to my original name." The woman blinked. She looked very elegant, but her voice was very lively. But strangely, these two contradictory temperaments seemed to complement each other so well.

"Hou Feiyu, excuse me for asking, how old are you this year? By the way, let me remind you, it is the year 20XX!" Meng Zhiling still had her eyes wide open, shocked by the diversity of this world.

What's the point of my little ability? There are so many truly shocking things!

Fei Yu really thought about it seriously, but finally shook her head helplessly, "My math is not good, and I really forgot what year I was born. But look at how old I am now, I should be only seventeen or eighteen years old."

Hou Feiyu scratched the back of his head. His silly look was particularly adorable, especially the shallow dimples on his face when he smiled, which was even more captivating.

"Where's your face? Where's your face?" Meng Zhiling said contemptuously, not believing her nonsense at all.

"Look, isn't it right here? Such a beautiful face, and you can't see it, are you blind?" Hou Feiyu smiled, not angry at all. Anyway, the two of them were used to this way of getting along. It would be awkward if they didn't quarrel with each other when they were together.

"Shameless!" Meng Zhiling rolled her eyes and went straight into the bathroom.

"There are nuts on the table. Do you know how to turn on the TV? If you don't know, don't turn it on. Don't break it." Meng Zhiling's voice could only be heard from the distant bathroom. Hou Feiyu pouted and turned on the TV very skillfully. Did he really think she was an antique? Did she not know how to do these things?

"Nuts? Do you still think I'm a bird? Humph." Hou Feiyu muttered to himself as he chose his favorite hazelnuts from the plate. In the end, he found that during these years as a goldfinch, he really liked all kinds of nuts.

There is no way. Habit is a very scary thing. It will swallow up all your thoughts that are not suitable for the current situation, but the only thing it cannot swallow up is the longing for someone.
