Chapter 1426: Chapter 1426: Punishment?

The details of the matter, Zhuang Yi was not very clear either, so he could only tell Mu Yan what he knew.

He sighed and said, "Jiaojiao has always had a strong sense of self-esteem. Being discovered to be taking drugs, having to detox and go to jail, she couldn’t take it for a moment and chose to end her life. Second uncle feels very guilty about it."

Mu Yan sneered at these words, "What is he guilty for? It’s not like he made Zhuang Chujiao take drugs? He’s always like that."

"Nuannuan, Jiaojiao’s father died for second uncle, and the second uncle has always felt guilty towards Jiaojiao. Now that Jiaojiao is also dead, he feels even more guilty towards his old friend," Zhuang Yi advised.

Mu Yan chuckled softly, "I haven’t forbidden him from feeling guilty toward his old friend, what does this have to do with me."

Seeing her indifferent expression, Zhuang Yi knew that saying more was pointless, so he stayed for a while and then left.

When he was exiting the hotel room, he happened to meet Ms. Kong coming to deliver fruit to Mu Yan.

Seeing Ms. Kong, Zhuang Yi immediately said, "Thank you, Ms. Kong, for taking care of Nuannuan."

"You’re welcome." Ms. Kong smiled faintly, "Are you leaving now?"

"Yes, I have some other matters to handle," Zhuang Yi replied.

Ms. Kong nodded, "Then go ahead, I won’t keep you."

"Then I must continue to trouble you to take care of Nuannuan. When she is willing to return to Beijing, I will come to pick her up," Zhuang Yi said.

"Alright."

Zhuang Yi nodded toward her and walked forward.

After a few steps, he turned around and looked at the vacant doorway, his brow slightly furrowed, always feeling that he seemed to have seen this Ms. Kong somewhere before.

Moreover, she was just a stranger he had met once or twice, why was he so at ease with her?

In the hospital room, on the bed, Zhuang Chujiao lay quietly with her eyes closed, her complexion pale, her body stiff, evidently no longer breathing.

Zhuang Shaoyang stood by, looking at Zhuang Chujiao’s face, and saying he wasn’t sad was a lie.

Even if Zhuang Chujiao was not sensible, she was still Chu Xing’s child.

Chu Xing died for him, and now his daughter is dead too, their family was truly ending.

Ultimately, it is he who did not take good care of her, did not educate her well, he feels guilty towards them.

Liang Rong sat crying by the bedside, her face shattered, her eyes bloodshot.

"Jiaojiao, what are you asking Mom to do from now on?" Liang Rong sobbed, grasping Zhuang Chujiao’s hand.

"Didn’t Mom tell you? It’s just a stint in the detox center, it will soon be over, why couldn’t you see past it."

"I’m sorry, Jiaojiao, it’s Mom’s fault, Mom regrets not teaching you well, my poor child."

...

After crying for Zhuang Chujiao, she began to cry for Chu Xing.

"Chu Xing, it’s I who didn’t take good care of our daughter, I really have no face to meet you."

"Why wasn’t it me who died?"

"Chu Xing, how could you bear to take our daughter away?"

...

Whenever she mentioned Chu Xing, Zhuang Shaoyang felt uneasy.

Seeing Liang Rong’s sad appearance, he couldn’t help but comfort her saying, "The dead cannot come back to life, don’t be too sad, otherwise Jiaojiao and Chu Xing won’t rest in peace in the afterlife."

Liang Rong looked at him, tears pouring down, "Shao Yang, I know I’m not a good woman, not a good mom, making everyone I love leave me, is this Heaven’s punishment for me?"

Zhuang Shaoyang was momentarily speechless, maybe, just like him, he made one mistake, and then it’s a lifetime, redemption is no longer possible.

Rather than saying Liang Rong is hateful, isn’t he too?

Liang Rong looked at Zhuang Chujiao, and suddenly a ruthless glint flashed in her eyes amidst the sorrow and anger, "Jiaojiao, you abandoned Mom, what should Mom do from now on? You might as well take Mom with you, Mom will soon accompany you."

As she spoke, she grabbed the fruit knife on the table and stabbed it into herself.
