Chapter 286 A long-overdue apology
The situation was urgent, and Murong Qiao didn't have time to think about it, so he called the driver to make an emergency stop.
I opened the car door and ran towards the river, walking fast.
"Stop!" Murong Qiao shouted.
I don't know if it's too far away or what, the sound she yelled didn't arouse any reaction.
Murong Qiao ran closer and closer, and vaguely saw that it was a woman.
But the other party seemed to be deaf, and didn't hear her call at all, and walked forward slowly without any pause, seeing that the river water had passed her ankles.
Is she crazy? !
Murong Qiao frowned in confusion, feeling anxious to death, even quickened the pace under his feet, running over at the fastest speed in his life.
Regardless of how cold the river was at night, Murong Qiao dived directly into the water, ran to the man, and grabbed her wrist before the water submerged the man's thigh.
"you-"
Just as Murong Qiao wanted to speak, he met the eyes of the woman who was pulled and forced to turn her face away, and then fell silent when she wanted to say something.
Those were a pair of empty, hopeless eyes.
Murong Qiao couldn't see a little light in her eyes, and at the same time, she recognized that the person in front of her was Luo Wanbai, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
The other party's condition seemed obviously wrong, but right now he didn't care too much, Murong Qiao first pulled Luo Wan Bai ashore with force.
But before she could say anything, Luo Wan Bai suddenly burst into tears.
She said, "I don't want to live—"
Crashed, helpless.
These two words were clearly written on Luo Wanbai's face. After she was pulled ashore by Murong Qiao, she squatted down and huddled into a ball, buried her head in her knees and burst into tears, without any elegance at all.
The wealthy daughter of the past has lost her demeanor and upbringing at this moment, crying bleakly and sadly.
"..." Murong Qiao opened his mouth, and then fell silent again.
She stood beside Luo Wanbai, squatted down and kept at the same height as the other person, took off the coat she was wearing and gave it to Luo Wanbai, then reached out and slowly stroked the other person's bent back, hoping that these would give her some warmth.
The crying lasted for a while, and then slowly turned into sobbing.
Luo Wanbai cried incompletely, "I, Cheng Juan and I broke up..."
Murong Qiao didn't need to ask, she cried and said everything like beans.
Including how she saw Cheng Juan pestering Murong Qiao, and then broke up with herself without hesitation, Luo Wanbai made it clear.
Murong Qiao didn't expect Luo Wanbai to be there at the time, and this kind of thing happened with Cheng Juan.
"I just, just feel that life is meaningless." She cried sadly.
After Cheng Juan finished breaking up, Luo Wanbai left the banquet.
She couldn't remember how she got to the river, she just felt that her mind was muddled, and her thoughts were mixed together with countless flying fragments, which made her headache and sad, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.
She didn't understand why things ended up the way they were.
Obviously everything was fine in the beginning, but now that the Luo family has collapsed, his father's career has plummeted and he is being suppressed by others, Luo Wanbai has no choice but to watch his father's back gradually bend, buried in wine all day long day.
She felt pain and embarrassment in her heart, and Luo Wanbai's eyes were darkened as soon as Cheng Juan proposed to break up today, and her whole body was filled with despair.
Luo Wanbai's words were confused, "My brain hurts...as long as I die, as long as I die..."
Murong Qiao frowned, standing beside her listening to Luo Wanbai's nonsense.
"It knocked you down?" She snorted.
Luo Wanbai cried and shook his head, tears couldn't stop flowing down his cheeks.
"Woo..."
Those emotions that she thought were indifferent and even forgotten by her suddenly emerged from the deep corners of her heart, wrapping Luo Wanbai's entire body tightly, making it difficult for her to breathe.
"I, I just—hiccup."
After hearing what Murong Qiao said, Luo Wanbai couldn't help but defend himself.
She wanted to say that was not the case, but just as soon as she opened her mouth to cry, she hiccupped and blocked what she wanted to say.
Murong Qiao stood beside her, "What are you? You are crying so ugly, it really makes me wonder if you are still the eldest lady of the Luo family."
She intentionally spoke with thorns, and never thought of squatting down to comfort the other party,
Showing sympathy will only make the other person cry harder. Moreover, Murong Qiao felt that his relationship with Luo Wan Bai was not that close.
Although she and Luo Wanbai didn't get along well, Murong Qiao couldn't just watch the other party give up his life just like that.
"I am the eldest daughter of the Luo family." She resisted instinctively.
Hearing Murong Qiao's thorny words, Luo Wanbai's unlost resistance suddenly emerged.
She said in a hurry, thinking she wanted to prove something, she raised her head suddenly, but after meeting Murong Qiao's cold eyes, she stopped talking again.
Yes, she is the eldest lady of the Luo family.
Luo Wanbai reacted belatedly, pursed his lips and slowly stood up from the ground, making himself equal to Murong Qiao at the same height.
"Okay?" Murong Qiao looked at her, "Just live well when you're awake, don't find stimulation for yourself."
Life is only once, Murong Qiao, as a person who has lived a new life, deeply feels this, and at the same time cherishes the opportunity to have another one.
Therefore, when she said these words, it was rare for her to soften her tone a little bit, but Luo Wanbai's ears were still very cold and hard.
Perhaps because of the intense emotional turmoil at this moment, Luo Wanbai was keenly aware of the awkward help hidden in Murong Qiao's words.
Although it sounded harsh, Murong Qiao's words really made me feel better, and my mood was not as heavy as before, and I wanted to commit suicide.
"Thank you." She wiped away her tears, and thanked Murong Qiao softly.
After crying for such a long time, Luo Wanbai's original thoughts gradually subsided, and his mind became much clearer.
Her crying voice changed, and her speaking voice was a little hoarse.
Seeing this, Murong Qiao took out the tissue in his pocket and handed it to her. This was the only tissue that survived the water just now due to the height.
Luo Wanbai wasn't embarrassed either, he probably knew that Murong Qiao had already seen his embarrassment at the moment, so there was nothing to be pretentious about when he wiped his tears.
The idea of committing suicide just now was true, but when she walked into the water and was dragged back, and found out that the person who saved her was Murong Qiao, the sadness and grievance in her heart, and the accident were also true.
Luo Wanbai was silent for a moment before speaking, "I'm sorry."
She apologized so simply that Murong Qiao, who was still thinking about whether to let Luo Wanbai go home later, almost lost track of the other party's train of thought.
"Huh?" Murong Qiao made a puzzled voice, as if he didn't expect Luo Wan Bai to mention this suddenly.
Luo Wanbai took a deep breath, "I treated you like that before, and my attitude was also very bad, and... Anyway, it's my fault."
"Sorry, Murong Qiao."
Luo Wanbai has never been so sober.
Now that she thinks of what she did to Murong Qiao, and deliberately made things difficult for him, etc., now that she thinks about it, there is only regret in her heart.
"I shouldn't have treated you that way, now, now I'm to blame for all of this." She lowered her head and admitted her previous mistakes with a wry smile.
Reviewing everything in the past, Luo Wanbai only felt that it was ridiculous for him to vent his anger on Murong Qiao or others, but why is it not his fault that he has fallen into this situation?
She was wrong, from the beginning.
