Chapter 241: But I Don’t Have Tomorrow
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the evening, the senior executives who had been left in the sewers for a day finally returned home, exhausted and smelly. At this moment, the few of them could no longer care about their face or the thoughts of others plotting against them, because they were rejoicing that they had survived the disaster and that they were still alive.
That night, they wrote a resignation letter of a few thousand words, expressing their apology to AFF’s team and consumers. The next morning, they sent the resignation letter to Lin Wanli’s desk.
When Lin Wanli entered the office, she bumped into Huo Yu’an, who was wearing a sequined short skirt and sitting on her desk. She was holding the resignation letters of the executives in her hands.
“I didn’t expect you to be so good at forcing people.” Huo Yu’an had a small frame, so her face was the size of a palm. Although she was covered by heavy makeup, her facial features should be very delicate.
Her eyes were very big, and her pupils were dark and bright. The nose was small and exquisite, but it was very straight. If she didn’t have such a pretense, she would have been a beautiful woman.
“I didn’t force anyone.” Lin Wanli invited her down from her desk. “Don’t blame everything on me.”
“If you force these people away, I’ll invite them all back in the future.”
“It doesn’t matter. As long as you can explain it to the headquarters, it’s fine.
You don’t have to tell me snecifically. You can’t anger me.” Lin Wanli smiled
and said, “This will only make you look very unprofessional and extremely childish. You really don’t have to think of me as an imaginary enemy. I’m just an amateur.”
“I don’t care either. As long as you’re unhappy, I’m very happy.” Huo Yutan raised her eyebrows.
“Whatever.”
This person was here to make things difficult for her, although Lin Wanli did not know how she had offended her. Both of them were testing each other’s bottom line. However, Huo Yu’an probably didn’t know that Lin Wanli’s endurance was very well-known.
“I heard that you fought your own father to death. You are indeed capable, but I think that as a woman, you are too vicious. Do you agree with me?”
Lin Wanli looked at the registration form that the store had handed over while she was dealing with the documents. Finally, she glanced at Huo Yu’an and said, “You’re too noisy.”
“Then you’ll have to get used to it. Before the AFF matter is resolved, I’ll be in your office. Besides, I don’t like to speak nicely. You have to bear with me. I really hate you. You have to understand how hard it is for me.”
At this moment, Lin Wanli’s phone rang. It was a call from Zhou Tingyang.
Lin Wanli hung up. He called again. Lin Wanli understood the importance of the matter. She picked up the phone in front of Huo Yu’an and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Ke’er is gone. I’ve been watching over her for the past two days. I was too tired yesterday, so I fell asleep on the sofa. When I woke up again, she was already gone. She’s just a patient. Where can she go?”
“There’s no need to look for her. Since she has chosen to leave, she wants to accept her death quietly.” Lin Wanli said coldly, “Aren’t you prepared to pay the price?”
“Wanli, if you have any news of her, please let me know. This is my last prayer.” After saying that, Zhou Tingyang hung up.
Xiao Qinke had left without a sound and did not leave behind a single word. Now that he thought about it, her hatred for him should not have decreased in the slightest.
Zhou Tingyang packed his things and went to the hotel to pay the bill. Then, he returned to his apartment and saw his tense mother.
“Tingyang, you’re finally back, you’re finally back!”
However, after Zhou Tingyang returned to his room, he only went to pack his things as if he were preparing for a long journey.
Mother Zhou seemed to be frightened. She quickly grabbed his luggage and said, “You just came back. Where are you going? Tingyang, don’t scare Mom. I can’t lose you.”
Zhou Tingyang let Mother Zhou hold him and did not resist. After she had cried enough, he said seriously, “Mother, the only thing on my mind right now is atonement. I feel like I’ve sinned. I’ve taken three lives. I can’t just pretend that nothing happened for the rest of my life and continue living my life. Do you understand how I feel?”
“You didn’t cause their car accident. You didn’t want Xiao Qinke to have cancer either. How is it your fault?” Mother Zhou hugged Zhou Tingyang’s luggage and refused to let him leave.
“Mom, you think too highly of me. Actually, I’m not your entire life. You really don’t have to put all your burdens on me.”
After saying that, Zhou Tingyang decided not to take his luggage.
He only took out her marriage certificate with Xiao Qinke from the drawer and prepared to leave the house completely.
“I’ll leave my house, car, and savings to you. It should be enough for you to enjoy your old age. Mom, I’m sorry. Forgive me for being unfilial, but I really can’t stay by your side anymore.”
“Don’t… No! I don’t want these.” Mother Zhou shook her head frantically and said. “I just want von to come back Son. come hack to me.”
Zhou Tingyang stood at the door and shook his head. “Mom, don’t tie me down anymore. Unless you want me to die.”
Hearing the word ‘die’, Mother Zhou took a few steps back in fear.
“Son, don’t… Son!”
However, Zhou Tingyang didn’t turn back. He left the apartment without any worries, leaving Mother Zhou alone to guard the empty apartment.
Zhou Tingyang didn’t know where Xiao Qjnke had gone, but at this moment, he knew very well where his future lay.
He went to the cemetery where the Xiao family’s parents were buried, wanting to ask for a job as a sweeper.
However, in the kitchen of the cemetery, he saw his father busy.
Both father and son understood why the other party was there.
They pretended not to know each other and planned to bury themselves in this large stone monument to atone for their sins…
This might be the best place for the father and son, and also the best ending for them.
Xiao Qinke went to another cemetery where her grandparents were buried. She missed her family too much. When she leaned against the tree, she seemed to see her grandmother patting her head lovingly.
Her entire body was in too much pain. She just wanted to be free as soon as possible.
Before she died, she sent a message to Lin Wanli.
“Thank you, Wanli. You are the only friend who helped me during my most difficult time. That is the last bit of warmth I have for the rest of my life.”
“I’m leaving. I’m leaving this world forever with my blessings for you. Please don’t feel sorry for me.”
“Actually, I really can’t bear to part with this world, but… I have no choice. Please cherish your healthy body and help me see this beautiful world. Every day is precious…”
“But, I don’t have a tomorrow….”
