Night Wanderer

Chapter 29 Sheng Qingrang disappeared like the world had evaporated

Zong Ying looked away from the book, raised his head, and saw the relics in the cabinet.

Yan Man passed away suddenly that year. They found a large number of antidepressant prescriptions in her office. Combined with her unhappy performance during that time, they all believed that she might have been influenced by drugs and made an unwise choice.

The scene of the incident was Xinxi's newly built office building. At that time, even the fence on the circular corridor of the building had not been installed in time. Naturally, there was no office in the building, so there was no witness at the time of the incident.

During that time, Yan Man's marriage was also in jeopardy, and her life seemed to be besieged by all kinds of complex energy. In addition, the inspection results at the scene of the accident did not show signs of homicide, so the speculation about the truth in the report was more inclined to commit suicide.

Zong Ying closed the book and put it back in its place.

More than ten years have passed, and the traces of the past have been washed away in the long years. It is difficult to go back to find the truth, but there is one thing Zong Ying can be sure that Yan Man's departure should not be suicide.

She has always been tenacious and hard-working, responsible for academics, work, and children, and will not leave the world without a word for no reason.

Those accusations of "suicide and irresponsibility" against her back then, those meaningless pity and hypocritical sympathy, and those fighting over her inheritance after her death were clearly branded in Zong Ying's youth.

At that time, Zong Ying felt depressed and disgusted, but was unable to leave.

Her grandmother suffered a severe blow and fell ill, so she was picked up by her uncle to go abroad to recuperate, and Zong Ying could only stay here, spending day after day alone. She lives up to now with a straight face and few words. Zong Ying can't even remember her childhood smile.

Her face was lightly imprinted on the glass cabinet door—a dull, lifeless face.

She tried to hold up the corners of her lips to express a smile, but she was unskilled and stiff, and finally gave up.

Zong Ying tried her best to calm the turbulent waves in her heart and searched for a thin address book for her grandmother among the things her mother left behind.

Grandma was born in the ancient city of Chun'an. Her brothers and sisters went their separate ways to make a living. After many years of separation, it was difficult to see each other again. It was hard to find out about one or two. The phone numbers left at that time may have already changed hands. In fact, even if they find the address book, they may not be able to find the person.

But when people are in a foreign country at the end of the day, thinking about their hometown is the last attachment. Anyhow, they still have to try.

Zong Ying almost rummaged through the bookcase, and finally found it in a pile of notebooks.

The thin paper is slightly brittle, and the ink is only slightly smudged, which does not hinder identification.

Zong Ying raised her hand to close the cabinet, and all kinds of emotions seemed to be blocked at the moment when the cabinet door was closed.

The grandmother's return also provided Zong Ying with an excellent excuse.

Xue Xuanqing went to her again at night and asked her the reason for her vacation. She simply replied: "Grandma has returned to China, and I want to accompany her to find relatives."
