The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu’s Pampered Wife Chapter 1631 - Don’t Be Sad (5)

Chapter 1631: Don’t Be Sad (5)

Her smiling face caught his eye, and he could not help but feel his heart skip a beat. He suddenly thought that she was very pleasing to the eye. Her hands were crossed and her ring was glowing slightly…
He thought for a moment, and then said in a low voice, “I’ll pick you up in the afternoon and go see our mother then.”
She turned around and looked at him, then nodded happily. “You make the arrangements. I’ll go along with it.”
Qi Lei straightened his body and walked over to her. “Go back and have breakfast. I’ll send you to work later.”
She responded with a grunt and slowly stood up.
Qi Lei put one hand on her shoulder and the other hand picked up the cup by the side. The two of them then walked into the room.
After a simple breakfast, Qi Lei sent Dongfang Liuyun to work while he drove back to the Qi family’s old mansion.
It had been a long time since he had returned. The servants were still the same as before. They would often clean the house, so the house was still quite clean. Everything was the same as before he left.
Qi Lei stood quietly in the living room and looked at the luxurious and grand house. His expression was very calm. The original butler stood behind him, and his heart was filled with many emotions and sighs.
The Qi family old mansion had been so lively back then.
The Qi family’s ancestors were all in the mafia. Later on, because of the changes in the situation, Qi Qiming had no choice but to transform the Qi family’s business into Qi Kai, but now…
This place had become lifeless in the end.
Thinking back, how lively was the Qi family back then?
In the end, it could not withstand the erosion of time, and the erosion of reality. In the end, the family clan still fell into a decline. In fact, it could not be called decline. At least, the potential of the Second Master’s Tai Yu Corporation was not something that Qi Kai could compare to, perhaps it was because Qi Kai’s fate had run out.
“Second Master, there are still people cleaning this place every day. It’s just that it’s too wasteful to leave such a huge house idle. This is where you grew up, Second Master, it’s your home. Why don’t you move back here? It’s better to have some people in the house. With President Qi in the state that he’s in, this house…”
The butler stood behind him and spoke softly.
Qi Lei listened and did not say anything.
In fact, he had never thought of this place as his home. Qi Lei had never known where his home was in this vast world, and where it could be?
He turned to look at the outer courtyard that was shrouded in a hazy rain outside the window. He walked over and drew the half-closed curtains. A large expanse of beautiful purple and red entered his eyes. He stood for a moment before saying quietly, “Just keep things the way they are, in the future…”
In the future, perhaps Qi Qiming would wake up and he would come back to live here. This place was the painstaking work of several generations of the Qi family. Even if Qi Lei did not care…
“Second Master, when you get married in the future, won’t you move back here?” The butler asked.
“No.”
Qi Lei’s answer was naturally very certain. What this place brought to him were only those unpleasant memories. Why did he have to make himself suffer? Besides, he liked the Grand Lake Villa area very much now, Liuyun also said that she liked the style and layout there.
“But, this place…”
“There’s no harm in leaving it empty.”
After Qi Lei said this, he turned around and walked out—
“Second Master!”
The butler chased after him, while Qi Lei had already walked down the steps in front of the door.
“In a year or two, when the situation stabilizes, we’ll sell the house here. There are some memories that don’t need to be remembered. It’s not a good thing if something deeply rooted affects future generations. There’s nothing wrong in starting over.”
Qi Lei said in a low voice, but his footsteps did not stop—
Qi Qiming was the only one who lived here. If he does not wake up, he…
When Qi Lei said this, the butler’s expression changed drastically
“No, Second Master. This is the Qi family’s blood, sweat and tears. We can’t sell it!”
Qi Lei’s lips curled into a smile. He did not reply. His tall and upright body slowly passed through the hazy rain…
After leaving the Qi family’s old residence, it was almost noon. Qi Lei went to the South River to check on the construction situation. By the time he was done and went to pick up Dongfang Liuyun, it was already past three in the afternoon.
Outside City Z, Qingshan Cemetery.
Countless people were buried here. Wang Qin, Qi Feng and Gu Lingsha were here too.
In the end, Qi Lei still went to see Qi Feng and Gu Lingsha. They were just two tombstones that were engulfed in the wind and rain, their ashes buried underneath. They remained silent with the silence of the Pure Land[1] and would never wake up again.
This time, Qi Lei did not say anything. He just lit a cigarette and placed it on Qi Feng’s tombstone. He told him that Qi Wei’er was fine and let him rest in peace…
…
In front of Wang Qin’s tombstone.
Qi Lei and Dongfang Liuyun stood side by side like this.
It was not Dongfang Liuyun’s first time here. She remembered that the last time she came was with him.
Qi Lei bent down slightly and was about to light the incense for Wang Qin, but Dongfang Liuyun was one step ahead of him. She took a few thin sticks of incense from his hand. “Let me do it.”
As she spoke, she took the lighter in his hand and lit it up silently. Not long after, the incense was lit.
Dongfang Liuyun inserted the incense and placed the bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone. Then, she straightened up. When she turned to look at Qi Lei, she soon noticed the gloominess in his eyes. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly reached out and grabbed his large hand, her voice was a little hoarse. “Don’t be sad. I’m sure she has already ascended to the paradise.”
“Do you believe those lies that they tell children? When someone dies, don’t they just turn into a handful of ashes? There’s no such thing as ascending to paradise. It’s just a hope of the living about the dead,” Qi Lei replied in a low voice.
Dongfang Liuyun’s face lit up with warmth. “I thought you needed comfort, but I’m not that good at comforting others.”
“A person who knows how to comfort others may be even more fragile than the person who needs comfort.”
Qi Lei retracted his gaze after saying that. He looked at Wang Qin’s tombstone in front of him and wiped the photo that was slightly drizzled with rain, “It’s been a long time, mother. I miss you. I came to see you today and brought along your long-awaited daughter-in-law. I’m sure you’ll like her.”
Dongfang Liuyun was silent. Although she had never interacted with Wang Qin, she trust that Wang Qin must have been a pretty good person. Following Qi Lei, she respectfully changed her way of addressing her—
“Hello, mother. I’m Liuyun, Qi Lei’s wife. I’ll be by his side from now on. I won’t let him be too lonely. Don’t worry.”
