The beloved one of the rich brother

Rong Pei could no longer suppress his inner grief. His body involuntarily slipped off the wheelchair and he fell in front of the grave, crying bitterly.

"Mom... don't do this..." Wen Yiyu choked up and tried to help her mother up, but to no avail.

Murong Tai also hurriedly came to Rong Pei and said, "Pei Xuan..."

Before he finished speaking, Rong Pei supported himself on the ground with trembling hands, and slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with pain and sorrow.

She said in a dull but firm tone, "I want to be alone for a while."

Wen Yiyou was about to shake her head to refuse, but Murong Tai looked at her and shook his head, interrupting her, "Okay, Yiyi, be obedient, you go down with your brothers first. It's enough to have your uncle here to accompany you!"

The three Muronghe brothers nodded in agreement, while Huo Chengluo gently hugged Wen Yiyu and left the cemetery together in silence.

The tears on Rong Pei's face flowed freely like a dam breaking, and she stared at the photo of her parents on the tombstone without blinking.

Murong Tai remained silent and knelt quietly behind Rong Pei.

Time passed by minute by minute, as if it had stood still.

No one knew how long it had been, but finally, Rong Pei's hoarse and weak voice broke the silence.

"Brother, how did father and mother pass away?"

Hearing the voice, Murong Tai raised his head slightly and tried hard to hold back the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes.

He clenched his teeth, his voice trembling slightly, "Peixuan, mom and dad, it's because we missed you too much and became sick with sadness, and finally..."

At this point, Murong Tai was already choking up and unable to continue speaking, but Rong Pei already understood everything.

She suddenly lost control of her emotions, burst into tears, and kowtowed to the ground desperately. Blood even seeped from her forehead, as if she wanted to vent all her regret and self-blame.

Seeing this, Murong Tai became very anxious, and hurriedly crawled forward on his knees, hugging Rong Pei tightly in his arms, fearing that she would do more extreme self-harming behavior.

"Pexuan, don't be like this. Mom and Dad have been worried about you for so many years. You can't hurt yourself like this anymore!"

Rong Pei was crying so hard at this time, and she collapsed in Murong Tai's arms.

She kept murmuring, "I'm sorry, Mom and Dad. I'm sorry, Mom and Dad..."

That look was so moving that everyone was moved.

Murong Tai finally couldn't help but ask, "Peixuan, why didn't you come back for so many years? We have been looking for you."

His voice was filled with pain and confusion.

Even if she was dissatisfied with her parents' arrangement and didn't want to marry him, this was her home after all!

How could she bear not to go home and see her parents for so many years?

Rong Pei slowly raised her head, her face full of tears. She looked at Murong Tai, her eyes full of guilt and regret.

"Brother, my willfulness hurt you, and my self-righteous choice was such a failure. How can I have the face to go home?"

"I feel like I have no right to return to this home, and I don't have the face to face my parents..."

After saying that, she burst into tears again.

Murong Tai understood immediately. After all, they grew up together and were very familiar with each other.

He knew her personality traits very well: she seemed gentle, kind and virtuous on the outside, but in her heart she had a very noble character and a strong sense of self-esteem. She would never easily admit defeat to others on the path she had chosen.

Even though she was betrayed by her lover and left alone with her daughter, her strong self-esteem would never allow her to admit her mistakes.

"Silly, this will always be your home!"

Rong Pei regretted his decision and could only murmur in sorrow, "I'm sorry, brother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

The brother and sister knelt in front of their parents' grave, hugging each other, and refused to leave for a long time.

----

Rong Pei sat quietly in a wheelchair, his eyes calm and distant, gazing at the entire magnificent Nanyi Palace.

Every tree, flower and grass within sight is the one I loved and was familiar with when I was young.

Everything seems to be the same, but in fact everything has changed.

All the people who loved her the most have left.

After a few days of rest and inner adjustment, her body gradually recovered and her emotions gradually stabilized.

Her eyes traveled through time and space, as if returning to the glorious moment that once belonged to her.

At that time, she was still the much-watched eldest daughter of the Murong family, enjoying endless love and care.

Her parents treated her like the apple of their eye, her brother loved her very much, and her parents early on trained their adopted son Murong Tai to be her future husband.

Her life seemed destined to be filled with happiness and success, and everything seemed so beautiful.

However, her willfulness deeply hurt her loving parents and also let down her elder brother who had been silently protecting her.

Looking back on the past now, it only proves how much of a failure I was in choosing the man and the path I chose against my parents' wishes.

"Mother……"

"Aunt Pei..."

Suddenly, two familiar and friendly voices called from behind.

Rong Pei slowly turned the wheelchair and saw Huo Chengluo and Wen Yiyu standing in front of her holding hands.

The two people walking together, the man is tall, calm and reserved, the woman is pretty, bright and youthful, both of their faces are filled with happy smiles, just like a perfect couple.

It was as if she was once with... Wen Jintai. Unfortunately, the facts only proved how ignorant her choice was.

Wen Yiyu gently broke free from Huo Chengluo's hand, squatted down, slowly squatted down, and gently put her little face on her mother's knees.

Rong Pei lowered his head and looked at his daughter, his eyes filled with endless tenderness and love.

She slowly reached out her hand and gently stroked her daughter's soft and smooth hair, enjoying this brief moment of tranquility.

Wen Yiyou raised her head and looked at her mother with expectant eyes, "Mom, can brother Chengluo and I push you down for a walk?"

However, Rong Pei did not respond to her, but turned his gaze to Huo Chengluo.

That calm and deep gaze seemed to contain a sense of scrutiny.

Wen Yiyou's heart tightened when she saw this. She stood up, hugged Huo Chengluo's arm, and spoke nicely with a nervous look on her face.

"Mom, Brother Chengluo has been with me on Nanyi Island all this time! He is also worried about you!"
