Mr. Su's Love Investigation Report
Chapter 195 The Girl is Here?

Chapter 195: Chapter 195 The Girl is Here?

Behind him was a shroud of darkness.

She stared at him blankly, noticing the bloodshot eyes.

He suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her along, running.

She barely had time to put on shoes, forgetting she was barefoot, sprinting to keep up with his pace as Shu Hui shouted from behind, "Little Sha! Where are you going?"

However, turning a corner and going downstairs, they left Shu Hui’s voice far behind in an instant.

They ran all the way to the school gate.

Deep in the night, the school gate was closed. Tu Hengsha knocked on the gatehouse door, and only then did he notice she was barefoot.

The door opened, and the guard asked why she was going out at this hour. She made a hasty explanation, and the guard stepped aside to let her pass.

From the guard’s words, she gathered that he hadn’t let Su Ronggui in earlier, which puzzled her about how he got into the school. He sped past her, bent over slightly, grabbed her hand, and lifted her onto his back.

"You..." On his back, she saw his car parked on the roadside by the school gate.

"Hurry up!" he urged sternly, running with her on his back, covering the steps in strides and throwing her into the car.

In the courtyard of the alley, every room’s light was on, bright as day, but in contrast to the lively lights, the place was silent, so quiet that even the wind seemed still, and the shadows of the trees motionless.

Grandma Xu’s room had two people—Grandma Xu lying in bed and Sister Qian sitting beside her, yet it was utterly silent, making the room seem more like an ancient painting than a real scene.

Grandma Xu was covered with a quilt, half of her face from brow to jaw was bloodied and bruised, swollen, with a layer of skin broken and crusted with blood.

Grandma Xu’s eyes were closed, half-conscious and muddled. One moment she was back to childhood, seeing her young parents; the next, she wore pigtails meeting that young man in a Sun Yat-sen suit, with short black hair and spirited eyes; another moment, she wore a white shirt and black pants, taking wedding photos with the man named Xu beside her...

Pingzhang’s birth, Pingzhang going to school, Pingzhang bringing a girl home for the first time...

Big events of a lifetime, flashing by like a carousel, each scene emerging one by one.

The scene paused at the quiet courtyard, a car stopped at the gate as a woman got out, full of anger and boldness, "Mother! Get in the car! Come with me to a place!"

The car turned on the mountain road, finally stopping. The woman led her up steps again.

The steps, oh how familiar. Climbing to the top she could see the old man and Pingzhang. Only blaming herself for being old and useless, in these years every Tomb-Sweeping Day, Gugu would support her, carrying her up, taking breaks as they went. Climbing this one stretch left her seeing black...

She leaned on Pingzhang’s tombstone, panting, dizzy.

Yet the woman pulled and pushed her, pressing her to the ground, "Come here, in front of your son’s tomb! Repent well! Are you worthy of being a mother?"

Unable to stand still, she fell to the ground, clutching Pingzhang’s tombstone.

The woman kept shouting furiously, "Good! Kneel well! Kneel and ask your son! Who killed him all those years ago! Now you’re pushing your grandson to date and marry! A murderer’s daughter! The daughter of the one who killed her own father being brought into the family as a daughter-in-law! Old Mrs. Xu! Are you senile? Forgetful with old age? Ronggui is just a child who doesn’t understand, but you, half buried in the ground, still don’t understand? Or are you doing this on purpose? Competing with me for Ronggui without principles? Old woman, you always surprise me! Selling goodness as a saint in front of Ronggui to highlight how vicious and unreasonable I am? This way, Ronggui will stay with you and not want to come home, right? Old woman, why don’t you just die? You should’ve died long ago! Cause so much trouble for me! Today, I’m here to tell you, in front of your husband, in front of your son, remember this: blood feud never ending, and if you push Ronggui to be with that woman again, beware, your son, your husband will come for you at night as ghosts!"

She was an elder, an old-fashioned person, believing in karma retribution and cause and effect of good and evil. She had to make it clear to the old man and Pingzhang that things of Pingzhang’s generation were resolved, murderers had been legally punished, the girl was a good girl, not as Qingmei said...

Silently she recited in her heart, the old man was so kind, so compassionate as to bandage wounded sparrows with her once, surely he could understand Gugu’s choice, and as for Pingzhang, surely Pingzhang would understand too, after all, she was Pingzhang’s mother...

She needed to speak clearly about this to her former daughter-in-law, supporting herself on the gravestone, tremblingly standing up. But her old bones, after this ordeal, once upright, saw nothing but blackness, head spinning and legs weak.

Shang Qingmei was in a frenzy, shaking her forcefully, "Speak! Say it in front of your son! Ronggui must not associate with the murderer’s lowly daughter! Swear it!"

This shake made her unable to hold onto the tombstone. When Shang Qingmei let go, her legs gave out, the world spun, and even though she tried to reach the tombstone, her grasp missed, sending her tumbling backward.

Two meters high on the platform, she fell, then rolled all the way down the mountain slope...

Rolling, rolling...

"Grandma Xu! Grandma Xu!" Sister Qian saw her breathing suddenly heavy, urgently called out.

Grandma Xu slowly opened her eyes, "Don’t rush, don’t rush, I’m okay, I’m fine...fine...the girl hasn’t come...I can’t...I’m waiting for the girl..."

Just as the words fell, there was a loud "bang" as the courtyard gate was thrown open.

Grandma Xu was invigorated, "She is here."

She was here.

At the courtyard gate, Su Ronggui carried Tu Hengsha, racing all the way to the door of Grandma’s room, setting her down, and threw her a pair of slippers, "Put them on."

Tu Hengsha hurriedly slipped them on and knocked on the door.

"Go open the door..." Grandma Xu gently told Sister Qian.

"Oh!" The door opened, Sister Qian wiped the corner of her eyes, stepped out, leaving the room to them.

Staring at the bed in the room and the person laying on it, Tu Hengsha’s chest tightened abruptly.

"Go in." His hard voice came from behind.

She clutched her chest, walked in, and upon seeing Grandma’s appearance at the bed, collapsed instantly, tears streaming down as she reached tremblingly to the swollen, bruised purple-red face but dared not touch.

"The girl is here..." Grandma Xu murmured, "Isn’t Grandma scary now?"

Tu Hengsha vehemently shook her head, tears falling, "No! No!"

"If not, then don’t cry...just talk with Grandma, okay?"

Tu Hengsha nodded vigorously through her sobs, "Yes! Okay! Okay!"

Grandma Xu looked to Su Ronggui behind her, "Gugu, you go out first."
