Chapter 145 Regret

In the next few days, Wen Ruoci didn't go out much, but a lot of things happened.

After Mu Qingjiu moved his household registration out of the Mu family, he got engaged to Mu Qingci.

The engagement of an adopted son and daughter is relatively rare among wealthy families.

Although rare, it is not too strange.

After all, these two people grew up in the Mu family. If they really get married, then for the Mu family, the core power does not need to be moved out.

Whether he wanted to cultivate Mu Qingci or Mu Qingjiu, the core power was still firmly in the hands of the Mu family.

But the only thing that everyone felt strange was.

When Tang Ning and Mu Tianen got married, they were still very young. Why did they only adopt a son and a daughter but not have another child of their own?

Could it be that one of them is infertile?
Or are these two people infertile?

Wen Ruoci was thinking about something.

Mu Qingjiu and Mu Qingci are engaged, so does that mean that Quan Qingjiu is one step closer to being a core member of the group?

Wouldn’t that mean we’re one step closer to getting the things?
In addition to the Mu family, something also happened in the Quan family.

A small part of the ancestral hall in the Quan family's old house was burned.

No one knows what happened yet.

Those present included Quan Shijin, Lin Miao and Yi Youwei.

When asked what happened to these three people, they all said it was an accident.

The old lady's blood pressure rose due to anger. She fell ill on the spot and was sent to the hospital.

Before going to the hospital, Quan Shijin was made to kneel in the ancestral hall and was not allowed to come out without her permission.

When Wen Ruoci heard about this, she also found it strange.

Quan Shijin told her that he asked Lin Miao to pretend to be his girlfriend in order to temporarily confuse the old lady, because he didn't want the old lady to interfere in the affairs of Yunding Group.

But what does it mean when an ancestral hall is burned down?
Could it be that he was trying to test the old lady's bottom line?

A few days passed.

Wen Ruoci received a message telling her that the items had been placed in the storage cabinet in the mall as agreed.

After waiting for such a long time and preparing for so many years, Mu Qingjiu finally got the detailed accounts of Yunding Group.

It would be impossible to say that there was no ripple in her heart.

She packed up simply and couldn't wait to go out.

Seeing that she was about to go out, Wen Yanyou asked casually, "Sister, are you going out? Take me with you?"

Wen Ruoci refused, "Sorry, I have something to do and I don't have time today. I'll take you with me next time."

Wen Yanyou was a little disappointed, but he didn't really chase after her and follow her.

"OK then."

She drove to the shopping mall where they had agreed to meet. There was a row of storage cabinets in front of the door. She glanced at the key in her hand, found the corresponding cabinet door and opened it.

There is an envelope inside.

There was a USB flash drive inside the envelope.

She put the USB drive into her bag and wanted to leave immediately, but she didn't expect to meet He Ci in this place.

He Ci looked at the familiar face that appeared in front of him and murmured, "I didn't expect to see you here."

Wen Ruoci paused for a moment, "He Ci?!"

He Ci put one hand in his pocket and said indifferently, "I thought that after you divorced me, you would completely forget about me and rush to your happy life." "Did you come here to mock me just because you saw me?"

He Ci readily admitted, "Of course, the more miserable your life is, the happier I am, and the more I can laugh at you?"

She knew that nothing good could come out of He Ci's mouth.

But today she was in a hurry to go back and check the accounts, and she was in no mood to stand here and argue with him.

"If this makes you feel better, then laugh at it. I have other things to do, so I'll leave first."

After that, he was ready to leave.

But before she could take a step, He Ci's voice exploded in her ears.

"Wen Ruoci!"

She had to stop and look back at him, "Anything else?"

He Ci looked at her unchanged face and suddenly laughed, "Can't I come to you if there's nothing else?"

"Well, tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Wen Ruoci looked like she was waiting for him to speak.

She also didn't want to get into a fight with He Ci.

He Ci looked at her quietly, and suddenly said, "I regret it."

Suddenly, Wen Ruoci didn't react yet, "What?"

"I said I regret divorcing you."

Wen Ruoci looked at him, "Will there be a different ending if we don't get divorced? Some things happened and they are done. Can you treat everything that happened in the past as if it never existed? You can't do that, right?"

He Ci looked at her, "What if I can do it?"

Wen Ruoci looked at him in shock. "What are you talking about? You said you don't mind that your father died on the spot because of a cerebral hemorrhage? You said you don't mind that your mother is still lying in the sanatorium and is still unconscious because of the shock? You said you want to forget the most painful three years you spent when He Huai became a vegetable?"

He Ci looked at her deeply and said, "I can do it."

After divorcing her, he indulged himself for a while. Anyway, his brother was awake now and he didn't have to worry about the group's affairs.

He played a lot of extreme sports, but he just felt that he had no interest in anything.

I even feel as if living has become boring.

From the very beginning, he knew that he would be reluctant to divorce Wen Ruoci, but he never expected that he would be so at a loss.

Without a goal, I don’t know how to live.

He felt like he really didn't know how to live anymore.

Wen Ruoci took a few steps back.

"You can't do it. Even if you say you can do it now, you will only bury all the pain deeply, but it will still exist. Maybe one day, it will suddenly break out of the ground. At that time, you will find that those thoughts that were originally buried very deeply have occupied your entire brain, making you restless day and night."

At this point, he paused, "Besides, Quan Shijin and I have been together for such a long time, how do you know what we have done? You can't accept it, so let's just be the most familiar strangers, this is good for both of us."

He Ci looked at her deeply and said, "I told you, I don't care about any of that."

Wen Ruoci thought He Ci was joking, "How could you not care? If you really didn't care, how could you have misunderstood that I slept with Pei Yan and didn't even give me an explanation? Not to mention that now I really..."

Before she could finish her words, He Ci covered her mouth.

"You don't have to say it. There are some things that I can always pretend I don't know as long as you don't tell me."

Wen Ruoci shook off his hand and looked at him coldly, "You are deceiving yourself! Besides, we are already divorced. Since we are divorced, it means that there is no relationship between us anymore."

"And I really have something else to do. I have to go."

But before she could finish her words, she felt a palm strike coming down and He Ci knocked her unconscious.
