Chapter 709 - Shi Mengwan’s Ending (1/2)

Sitting in the car, Shi Mengwan only saw that it was a mountain. The mountain wasn’t high, and the car drove directly up the mountain. They were now at the mountainside.

She got off the car with Zhan Haoze. He held her hand and walked to a small road on the side.

Shi Mengwan had a faint premonition in her heart. She knew why he brought her here and what he wanted to do.

Sure enough, after going around a small hill, she saw a very magnificent cemetery.

Someone behind Zhan Haoze handed him three bunches of chrysanthemums.

“Wanwan, this is my mom.”

Shi Mengwan looked at the cemetery. She realized that the cemetery wasn’t just for one person.

It was for three people. On both sides were two larger tombstones, and the one on the right was for a woman. The woman in the black-and-white photo had a bright smile on her face, and there was a slight resemblance between her and Zhan Haoze.

On the tombstone was written grave of the mother, Qiao Ruoliu. Zhan Haoze stood there weeping.

This was Zhan Haoze’s mother?

She looked at Zhan Haoze and then at the other two graves.

The larger one on the right was written grave of the father, Zhan Lie. It was also made by Zhan Haoze.

The Zhan Lie on the tombstone looked 70% similar to Zhan Haoze. He could be considered a combination of Zhan Lie and Qiao Ruoliu.

That word ‘Qiao’ made Shi Mengwan look at Zhan Haoze once again. Qiao? Qiao Ze?

However, what attracted Shi Mengwan’s attention the most was the smaller tombstone in the middle.

Sister, Zhan Jiao’s tomb.

These simple words made Shi Mengwan’s eyes widen. She looked at Zhan Haoze in disbelief.

According to the time on these three tombstones. Zhan Haoze lost all his family members in almost a day. Parents, sister.

Zhan Haoze placed the flowers in front of the three tombstones, then squatted down in front of the tombstones. He reached out and touched the tombstone in the middle. His gaze was painful and distant.

“Actually, I don’t know if it’s a sister or a brother. I just hope that she’s a sister.”

Zhan Kun valued sons over daughters. He had many illegitimate children, but usually, he wouldn’t acknowledge them if they were girls.

It was impossible for him to have a good relationship with those girls from the Zhan family.

He hoped to have a sister, and he thought he would have a sister too, if there wasn’t that shot.

No, not just one shot, but many shots.

Shi Mengwan didn’t quite understand the first sentence, but she reacted to the second sentence. She stared at Zhan Haoze with her eyes wide open. Her lips moved, but she couldn’t say a word.

Zhan Haoze pressed his forehead against the tombstone. Actually, he knew that there was nothing there.

Whether it was his sister’s grave or his parents’, the insides was empty. Seriously speaking, these could only be considered empty graves.

Because whether it was Qiao Ruoliu or Zhan Lie, their bodies weren’t here.

Shi Mengwan looked at the three tombstones and her lips moved. She remembered that Zhan Haoze said that his mother was dead, but he didn’t say that his father was also gone.

“Dad, Mom, I’m here to see you guys.”

Zhan Haoze took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the tombstones.

“Dad, Mom, I brought Wanwan to see you guys. Wanwan is the girl I mentioned to you guys. I’ve already proposed to her.”

Zhan Haoze thought of something and placed his forehead in front of the tombstones. His gaze was deep.

He once had a very happy family. His mother was an extremely ordinary primary school teacher, but she was very gentle. She liked children and also liked to laugh.

She was born in an ordinary family, but she unexpectedly met Zhan Lie, the eldest Young Master of the Zhan family who was prominent in Qing City.

She didn’t know Zhan Lie’s identity at the beginning. Zhan Lie was head over heels in love with Qiao Ruoliu. After knowing that his father wouldn’t agree to it, he eloped with Qiao Ruoliu.

Qiao Ruoliu’s mother was from Lin City, so the two of them settled down in Lin City.

Qiao Ruoliu taught while Zhan Lie found a job as an ordinary employee. The two of them didn’t have much money, but they were very happy.

Especially after having Zhan Haoze, the happiness became shared among three people.

As a primary school teacher, Qiao Ruoliu liked children very much, especially her own son. She would hold him in her arms and read to him.

When he was growing up, she would teach him to play the piano and sing.

And Zhan Lie, after getting rid of the controlling Zhan Kun, became an ordinary father.

He would take Zhan Haoze to the park and carry his son on his shoulders. He would take Zhan Haoze to play basketball and football.

That childhood was the happiest time in Zhan Haoze’s life.

He had a very happy family. This happiness lasted until he was nine years old.

When he was nine years old, Qiao Ruoliu became pregnant again. This was very happy news for the Zhan family.

At that time, she was only two months pregnant and her pregnancy still wasn’t obvious. However, Zhan Lie and Zhan Haoze already knew about it. They were looking forward to it and were very happy.

A new life had arrived. When Qiao Ruoliu asked the father and son whether they liked a son or a daughter, the two of them unanimously said that they wanted a girl.

“I’m going to be an older brother.”

Zhan Haoze was very happy at that time. This kind of happiness made him and Zhan Lie plan every day how they would dote on her if he had a younger sister.

He had many plans, how he would take care of this sister, how he would be a good brother.

Zhan Haoze would never forget what happened on the day of the accident. Because that day was Qiao Ruoliu’s birthday. Zhan Haoze wanted to give Qiao Ruoliu a birthday present.

That day happened to be Saturday. Zhan Haoze, thinking of hiding it to give Qiao Ruoliu a surprise, had prepared the present on the first day.

He thought about it, but didn’t know where to hide it. In the end, he chose to hide it in a cabinet in the living room.

That cabinet was very big. The day before, Qiao Ruoliu had just cleaned it out and said that she wanted to put something in it. Zhan Haoze was still small at that time, so he could just hide in it.

He hid well. He planned to wait for his mother and father to enter the door. When they entered the door, he would push open the cabinet door and jump out to give Qiao Ruoliu a surprise.

However, he didn’t expect that Qiao Ruoliu and Zhan Lie wouldn’t come back. Instead, Zhan Kun came first.

Zhan Kun brought Uncle Chi, and many people in black clothes broke into his house. He saw it through the crack of the cabinet door. He had never seen such a scene and was so scared that he didn’t dare to make a sound.

Zhan Kun had people search around the house, but he didn’t know what they were searching for. When a man in black walked over to open the cabinet he was in, he was terrified.

It was just then that Zhan Lie and Qiao Ruoliu came back.

Qiao Ruoliu was pregnant. Zhan Lie was worried about her going shopping alone, so he accompanied her.

It was her birthday today, so when they went out, they even went to buy a cake.

Seeing Zhan Kun enter the house, both of them were shocked, and the things in their hands almost fell to the ground. Zhan Lie was a little more steady. He let Qiao Ruoliu carry the things into the kitchen, while he faced Zhan Kun himself.

Zhan Kun wanted him to go back to the Zhan family with him, but Zhan Lie refused. Zhan Kun threatened him with Qiao Ruoliu.

Zhan Lie knew that his father had always been a man of his word, but he never thought that he would have the intention to kill Qiao Ruoliu.

In the past, he had spent every day training to take over the Zhan family’s business. Everything he did was carried out according to Zhan Kun’s will.

As time passed, he had almost forgotten what he was originally like. Zhan Lie didn’t want to live that kind of life. He begged Zhan Kun to let him go. He didn’t want to go back to the Zhan family.

If he had to go back to the Zhan family, he had to bring Qiao Ruoliu back too.

Zhan Kun was angered by his son, but his face didn’t show a hint of emotion.

He opened his mouth again and asked Zhan Lie if he wanted to go back with him. When he received a negative answer, he vented all his anger on Qiao Ruoliu.

It was this woman, it was her, it was she who seduced his son. It was she who caused his son to become like this.

Zhan Kun didn’t expect that the son that he had spent so much effort to raise would one day be out of his control, so without thinking, he shot Qiao Ruoliu.

When Zhan Haoze saw the scene in front of him, his heart was torn apart. But before he could react, Zhan Lie had already rushed forward and blocked in front of Qiao Ruoliu.

That shot was right in the heart.

Zhan Lie died at the hands of his father just like that.

Zhan Kun didn’t expect that his shot would actually kill his son. His anger turned into shock.

But after the shock, it condensed into an even greater anger.

It was all that b*tch’s fault. It was her. She was the one who caused his son to sacrifice his life for her.

Zhan Kun was furious. Looking at Qiao Ruoliu, who had pounced on Zhan Lie while bawling her heart out, he couldn’t help but feel angry.

He held the gun and sending Qiao Ruoliu to her death, he fired twice.

Qiao Ruoliu fell on Zhan Lie’s body and died just like that.

Zhan Haoze was completely dumbfounded. He had even forgotten what he wanted to do and what he could do.

He looked at Zhan Kun, who was looking at the two corpses in front of him and coldly ordering his subordinates to dispose of them. At this moment, Zhan Haoze finally had a reaction.

He rushed out of the cupboard and pounced on his parents. He kept calling their names. But there was no reaction.

In the end, Zhan Haoze rushed up and randomly hit Zhan Kun, but his body was soon held up by others.

Zhan Kun wanted to eradicate the root of the problem and kill Zhan Haoze, but before he could kill Zhan Haoze, Uncle Chi’s phone rang first.

In the early years, Zhan Kun married the daughter of the Liu family for the sake of power. After his wife died, the Liu family took good care of Zhan Lie, this grandson of theirs.

Previously, he didn’t look for Zhan Lie because Zhan Lie was under the protection of the Liu family. Recently, the Liu family had gotten into some small trouble. Zhan Kun could finally teach Zhan Lie a lesson.

Who knew that this lesson would lose its propriety. Zhan Lie was dead.

However, at this time, Uncle Chi received the news Zhan Lie’s maternal grandfather had actually been re-elected.
