Ruan Mo's voice fell, and Mo Zhan, standing in front of the tombstone, felt a chill on his back, which felt very strange.

He didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but at that moment, it seemed as if a pair of ghost hands had caressed him.

What a surprise!

Mo Zhan looked up, but there was nothing around, only the cold wind blowing around.

The mobile phone in his pocket rang. Mo Zhan saw that it was the old house's phone, but he didn't answer it. Last night, the nanny called him and said that the old lady was not in good health recently and coughed badly and didn't go to the hospital.

Originally, he seldom went back to his old house. Since Ruan Mo left, he went back less.

He was estranged from the old lady because he married Ruan Mo at the beginning. Even if he divorced Ruan mo later, this situation did not ease.

Now Ruan Mo is gone, and Mo Zhan doesn't know what to say to the old lady, so he goes back occasionally. The grandparents and grandchildren are more silent, and Mo Zhan can't help thinking of Ruan Mo's time.

In the past, Ruan Mo was his wife. Every time they went back to the old house, they didn't need Mo Zhan to do anything. He just needed to sit and read the newspaper or play with his mobile phone. Ruan Mo always made the old lady talk and laugh.

In the past, he always felt that he hated that kind of happiness, but now he found that the laughter he thought he hated had become the beauty he most expected but could not touch.

"Cough, cough"

When Mo Zhan stopped the car and went to the villa, he listened to the old lady's cough from time to time before he went in. It made people feel out of breath.

"You cough so badly, why don't you go to the hospital?" Mo Zhan entered the room and looked at the old lady with a heavy cough. He couldn't help asking her.

The old lady coughed for a long time before she stopped coughing. Her face became ugly because of the severe cough. The nanny on one side brought water. The old lady took a sip gently and pressed down the dryness of her throat. "It's an old problem. I got a little cold a few days ago and coughed for a few days. Besides, I suffer when I live at this age. I die early and get rid of it."

These words are very sad, and even have a taste of willing to give up.

This kind of her not only surprised Mo Zhan, but also choked his heart.

The old lady was so strong in her life that she didn't believe in life, so after the old man died early and Mo Zhan's father gave up halfway, she propped up Mo by herself until she handed it over to Mo Zhan.

Although she is not as outstanding as Ruan Mo and has developed Mo's family into a leader, without the painstaking management of the old lady, Mo Zhan can not grow rapidly after taking over.

Now that his mother is seriously ill and treated abroad, Ruan Mo also leaves him. His only close relative is the old lady in front of him. If one day she leaves, he will be completely alone.

"I'll have you taken to the hospital!" Mo Zhan said that he had taken out the phone, contacted the hospital and hung up. He told the nanny on one side: "the hospital will pick up people and pack up things later."

The old lady knew his stubbornness and didn't say anything more. Instead, she looked at his eyes that were not as tight and clear as before and asked, "how is your mother recently?"

"Not bad. I can almost go home in two!" This is a message sent by Mochi to him, and it was sent on his own initiative. He has never contacted Mochi.

"That's good, that's good. It's not easy for her in her life. Although she didn't raise you in person, it's also her helplessness," the old lady reminded again as if she was afraid that Mo Zhan would have a prejudice against her mother.

Yes, in this case, the old lady has said it many times.

Mo Zhan is silent. Every time the old lady says this, he is silent.

He understood that his mother and father were separated and could only take one away, but why did his mother leave him and take away the ink pool?

He's always resenting this!

"I heard that you go to see that girl every month?" The old lady asked again.

Mo Zhan gave a sound and then replied, "I just came back from there."

The old lady sighed, "Xiao Zhan, the past is over, and those who have left can't come back. The days have to look forward."

At this point, the old lady coughed again, "ah Zhan, do you still hate grandma now?"

"What do you hate?" Mo Zhan looked up. In fact, he knew it.

He knows what the old lady means. She hates her for forcing him to marry Ruan Mo and for forcing Guan meiyang away.

Looking at his dark eyes, the old lady was in a trance. "Xiaozhan, the past, right and wrong can't be changed. Grandma doesn't want to say anything anymore. Now I don't have a living head for a few days. Grandma doesn't interfere with you. If you really want to marry that girl, come back!"

Mo Zhan slightly screwed off his eyebrows and opened his thin lips, "who will you marry?"

"Guan meiyang, haven't you always wanted to marry her?" The old lady returned to him.

Mo Zhan coldly hooked the corner of his mouth and then stood up. "The doctor will come and take you to the hospital in a minute. Get ready. Don't worry so much when you're old."

With that, he lifted his legs and left. The old lady looked at his lonely back and closed her eyes in pain and remorse.

In fact, she knew that Guan meiyang went abroad five months ago, and he sent him away in person.

Mo Zhan left his old house and went directly to Ruan. Next week is the celebration of Ruan's 20th anniversary. There are some things he needs to decide.

"How's the celebration going?" After Yi Ming reported his work, Mo Zhan asked him.

At present, Ruan's affairs are basically handled by Yi Ming as when Ruan Mo was there. Mo Zhan will come forward unless something particularly important.

"Everything is ready, only the promotional video needs your review and decision," said Yi Ming, handing a USB flash drive.

"OK, I'll see now. I'll find you if there's a problem," said Mo Zhan. Yi Ming withdrew from his office.

This office belongs to Ruan Mo, and everything keeps her original appearance. Originally, Yi Ming wanted to clean up an office for him alone, but Mo Zhan refused.

There is her shadow in this office. He likes to sit here.

Mo Zhan put the USB flash drive into the computer, and the short film began to play Ruan's 20-year development process. The first ten years were the work of her parents, and Ruan's growth in these ten years.

The short film is neither complicated nor fancy. It is an epitome of each year, and the epitome of this decade also records Ruan Mo's growth from the age of 12 to 22.

This was the first time Mo Zhan saw her when she was young. She was smart and beautiful. No wonder she would never forget seeing her once.

If he had met her then, he would have liked her too.

Unfortunately, he was not lucky enough, just as he was not lucky enough to be taken away by his mother.

"There's no problem with the short film, but there's no better picture of her in the last few years?" Mo Zhan always feels that Ruan Mo's photo expression in the last few years of the short film is too solemn, serious and warm.

Yi Ming was embarrassed. "President Ruan has rarely taken photos in recent years. This is the best one I can find out of all her photos."

It is said that even if she had no parents in the past, she could still smile as bright and sunny. Even her smile in recent years is no longer bright, as if covered with a false veil.

It is said that a woman's face is the mirror of her life, and in recent years he has given her only pain, so she can no longer smile from her heart?

Thinking of this, Mo Zhan was worried again. He waved, "that's it!"

"Mr. Mo," Yi Ming called him, "why don't you take a look at President Ruan's drawer? I remember she seems to have some private photos. Can you see if there's something better to use?"

Hearing the sound, Mo Zhan nodded and then opened the drawer. Many interesting gadgets came into view. They looked very childish, but she put them in the drawer, which showed how precious they were to her.

At this moment, Mo Zhan knew that behind Ruan Mo's seemingly indestructible, there was such a child's side and a childlike innocence.

Mo Zhan turned over and didn't see any better photos. He was about to close the drawer. Suddenly, he saw an envelope in the crack in the innermost layer of the drawer. He stretched out his hand to open it. Several photos fell down and a piece of paper.

He picked up the picture and turned a little white when he saw the person above and saw the content on the piece of pape
