Chapter 315 Mu'er, I'm sorry
Chapter 315 Mu'er, I'm sorry
Why are you crying?
Why are you crying like this?
At the same time, Ji Ran and Qiu Lingyue also witnessed this scene, and they both stared wide-eyed as if they had seen something extraordinary.
Qin Wenzhou was seen crying louder and louder, his sobs becoming increasingly intense.
The hand wearing the Graff watch had well-defined bones and was extremely well-maintained.
But the sight of Qin Wenzhou using that hand to cover his crying face felt incredibly incongruous.
Qi Mu stood there innocently, rarely seen so helpless, and looked to Ji Ran for help.
Ji Ran was also at a loss, so she could only silently tug at Qiu Lingyue's wrist.
Upon receiving her daughter's distress signal, Qiu Lingyue straightened her expression, steeled herself, and stepped forward to slap Qin Wenzhou on the back.
"What are you up to? If you're not going to cook, get out of here and don't bother Qi Mu."
However, Qin Wenzhou seemed to be unable to hold on any longer. He turned around, hugged Qiu Lingyue tightly, and burst into tears.
Qiu Lingyue was stunned. Seeing him broken like this, she didn't dare to struggle.
For a moment, Ji Ran was also stunned. She didn't know what to do, so she awkwardly looked away and scratched her neck with her hand.
Her parents finally had a chance to warm up their relationship, shouldn't she step aside?
In a brief moment, she gave Qi Mu a look, signaling him to come out to the courtyard with her.
Qi Mu blinked in response to her, and then slipped away and walked towards her.
But after taking only two steps, as she brushed past Qin Wenzhou and Qiu Lingyue, Qin Wenzhou suddenly let go of Qiu Lingyue and instead tightly grabbed Qi Mu's arm, looking at him with teary eyes.
Looking at the boy's handsome face, vividly displayed before one's eyes, only his unusual red eyes hinted at his horrific past experiences.
Qin Wenzhou truly felt a pain as if his heart had been crushed into shards of glass.
He was just a kid in his early twenties back then, and the scene of him rushing into the dungeon alone to save himself is still vivid in my mind.
He was so brave and sincere, so resolute and courageous, so devoted to the light and filled with lofty aspirations...
But how could he have ended up like that?
Why did it have to end like that?!
For the first time, when facing someone other than Ji Ran, Qi Mu's eyes showed a hint of panic.
"you……"
What do you want to do?
Ji Ran stopped in her tracks again, wondering whether she should just go up and pull Qi Mu out.
To everyone's surprise, Qin Wenzhou took a step forward and hugged Qi Mu tightly, even more tightly than he had hugged Qiu Lingyue.
Feeling the coldness of his body, Qin Wenzhou couldn't help but burst into tears again.
Qi Mu was so shocked that he was stunned. He almost kicked him away reflexively.
But I was afraid of hurting him, afraid that Ranran would feel uneasy, so I forced myself to endure it.
Qiu Lingyue was also stunned.
What is this? A paranormal event, right? (Just kidding)
Ji Ran was also dumbfounded, her mouth agape. She could have fit a fist in her mouth. She could no longer remain calm and took a few steps forward to pry Qin Wenzhou's arm open.
"What's wrong with you?!"
She looked at Qin Wenzhou warily, and shielded Qi Mu behind her.
Qin Wenzhou wiped away a tear, looked at Qi Mu with earnest eyes, and said earnestly:
"Qi Mu... From now on, we're family... I will protect you just like I would protect my family, Ling Yue, and Xiao Ran."
The expressions on the faces of the three of them changed dramatically once again.
This person must have been really traumatized.
It even gave Ji Ran the illusion that he was about to put Qi Mu in his mouth.
She glanced back at Qi Mu, only to see that his alluring dark red eyes were also filled with astonishment and a hint of disdain.
Qiu Lingyue couldn't stand it any longer, so she stepped forward and pulled Qin Wenzhou over.
"Alright! Stop with the sentimental act and get to cooking!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Wenzhou's face instantly filled with happiness.
"Okay! I'll go!"
As he spoke, he turned around and skillfully began cooking.
Qiu Lingyue also took the opportunity to wink at Ji Ran and Qi Mu, signaling them to leave quickly.
Qi Mu looked at the fresh shrimp with some regret, but he clearly didn't want to be in the same room with Qin Wenzhou any longer, so he simply went out with Ji Ran.
Seeing that her daughter and son-in-law had finally gotten away, Qiu Lingyue looked at Qin Wenzhou's hardworking back again, feeling a strange feeling in her heart.
After hesitating for a while, she turned around, took another apron, put it on, and went forward to help.
Qin Wenzhou was somewhat flattered.
Is Lingyue feeling sorry for him?
Qiu Lingyue seemed to be able to read his mind, and said directly in an annoyed tone,
"Stop daydreaming. I just don't want your lousy cooking skills to ruin the ingredients."
Qin Wenzhou was stunned for a moment, a hint of contentment in his eyes.
Heaven has been kind to him; the people he cares about are all around him, and he has enough ability and time to love and protect them.

"...Zeng Nian's case has been preliminarily heard, and arrangements for his specific execution have begun."
If the leader has any further comments, please provide them.
Secretary Lin was respectfully reporting the trial results to Luo Yesheng, mainly emphasizing that the verdict had been finalized.
"understood."
Luo Yesheng spoke calmly; he didn't have time to watch the live stream, nor did he want to.
Even when Secretary Lin was asked to report, he was instructed to skip the interrogation process entirely.
He didn't want to know any of the filth Zeng Nian had done; he was afraid it would offend his ears.
He seemed to be listening to a report that was no different from any other, nothing special, and he didn't deserve any reaction.
"Then I'll head out now," Secretary Lin said.
"Go ahead," Luo Yesheng said without looking up.
Only after Secretary Lin left did Luo Yesheng slowly open the drawer and pull out a yellowed photograph from the bottom of a pile of envelopes.
On that table were the juniors he once admired and valued the most.
"Mu'er, I'm so sorry. I'm only now restoring your innocence and justice. How am I supposed to explain this to your grandfather..."
But what's the use of feeling sorry now? The person has been gone for a long time.
I can only wait until I'm done with this before I can personally apologize to him...
"grandfather?"
Luo Muyan pushed open the door and poked her head in.
Luo Yesheng looked up and saw his most beloved granddaughter. His solemn expression instantly softened.
"Mu Yan? What brings you here?"
Luo Muyan immediately put on a wronged look, ran to Luo Yesheng's side, and affectionately took his arm and swayed it.
"Professor Ji's project is trending again today, I really want to join it..."
Luo Yesheng sighed helplessly.
“Grandpa talked to Professor Ji last time. He wasn’t targeting you; it’s just that the project is nearing completion.”
As he spoke, he became even more forceful, poking Luo Muyan's head with a gentle tap.
"I haven't even had a chance to scold you yet, and the project is almost finished. You didn't explain things to Grandpa, and you made Grandpa lose face."
