This was the second time that Tang Jingyun had knelt in front of this tombstone.

She felt that it was a little funny. Reborn?

She never expected that such a person like her would be granted the second chance, to start it all over.

The regrets of her previous life had to be made up for in this life.

It was as if the heavens had played a big joke on her. She tried to force a smile, but only then did she realize that she could not laugh at all.

She rubbed the corner of her mouth, which had been stiff for more than ten years. She almost forgot how to smile.

When she was young, although her life was not very good and her character was calmer than the average children, but after all, out of a kid's nature, her smile often climbed up to the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, just like those carefree children.

But later, when she learned about the grievances, she inexplicably changed from a fatherless child to an illegitimate daughter of a rich and powerful family. Her life seemed to have been turned upside down overnight, and eventually separating her from an ordinary life.

It was easy to imagine how difficult it would be for a child, who was still pure and young, to live in a group of hungry wolves. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was difficult to even move a step.

Later, she gradually learned all kinds of smiles, including flattery, pleasing, humility, viciousness, indifference, elegance... All kinds of smiles came and went in her life. The exquisite masks played all kinds of roles in her life, which made her achieve all kinds of goals by any means.

Since when did she become unable to smile?

It was probably since she entered the Tang family and started to be in charge of this prominent family.

Perhaps because she had laughed too much before, she was tired of it. At her level, she no longer needed to smile at others for some purpose, so she stopped laughing.

She kept a straight face all day and buried herself in the company's documents. Later, when she got used to it, she would not laugh.

She remembered that at that time, she, who was in her early 30s, had a deep frown on her face, which was caused by her long-time frowning. Everyone in the company, including the people in the family, avoided her as if she were a vicious devil.

She rubbed the corner of her mouth hard again and tried hard to show a smile, but in the end, she just felt depressed. Although there was a possibility that some things could be changed with the flow of time, some things were engraved with too many marks. For example, the expression on her face could not be erased easily.

"Ha ha..."

The cold laughter seemed a little weird in this empty cemetery. The sun had gradually sunk to the west, leaving dim light in the world.

Tang Jingyun looked at the cemetery in front of her. Three tombstones were buried side by side. It looked so good from a distance, like a family. Of course, there was indeed a family buried here.

From the left to the right, were her mother, grandfather, and grandmother. The three closest relatives in her life had been buried here, leaving her alone to face the harsh and cruel reality in silence.

Her mother, Liu Ling, was the only daughter of her grandmother and grandfather. She had been raised very naive since she was a child. Although she had a beautiful face, she did not have a brain that matched hers. After she went to college, she was cheated by a sc*mbag. Not only could she not go to college, but she also went home with a suitcase and was pregnant with a baby, and she didn't even know who the father was.

Her grandfather was so angry that he got sick on the spot and forced her to get an abortion, but she refused to do so. Later, she died from labor when she was giving birth, giving her the name of Tang Jingyun.

She always felt that her mother was a silly woman, very stupid. How could a man's sweet words be easily believed? Not only did she lose her life, but she also let the child she gave birth to carry too many things since she was a child.

The grandfather was already pissed off by Liu Ling. In the end, when his only daughter died, his health collapsed. A few years later, he also passed away, leaving her grandmother alone to raise her up.

Now, her grandmother had also died, leaving Tang Jingyun alone in this world.

Speaking of which, this was the second time she knelt in front of this tomb. The first time was when her grandma died in her previous life. She put her ashes into this tomb with her own hands. Later, she never came back again. At first, she could not come back, but later, she was unwilling to come back.

She was too lazy to be entangled with the complicated feelings. She had never been willing to get her hands on those mixed feelings. After all, those feelings were so delicate that her heart ached a lot.

She kowtowed three more times respectfully to the tombstone and then struggled to stand up. Perhaps because she had been kneeling for too long, she felt a little dizzy and staggered.

She held the tombstone and rested for a long time before she regained her senses. Her face looked pale because she had not eaten for a day. She stumbled down and her footsteps were a little flustered, which made her look a little fragile.

She slowly walked down the stone steps step by step. The tombstones of the three people were buried in the mountainside. When she reached the foot of the mountain, she looked back at the three tombstones standing side by side. Under the dim light, they were a little quiet and solemn.

She rubbed her heart hard and murmured in a low voice, "Please, don't hurt anymore..."

Looking back at this place, she finally turned around and left in silence. After this farewell, she didn't know how long it would take for her to come back and see her family members who had passed away. As for those who had passed away, they didn't have to get involved in the life of those who were still alive.

As for the grudges between the rich and powerful families, she really didn't want to get involved with them anymore.

Her steps down the mountain became more and more firm, but her thin figure looked a little bleak in the dim light.

Tang Jingyun suddenly thought of the heavy snow many years ago. At that time, she was already in the Tang family. She silently piled up a snowman and looked at it for a long time. Finally, she stretched out her fingers and put a big smile on the snowman. She pursed her lips and stood beside the snowman. It was her twenty-year-old innocence.

She, who had been immersed in the past, unconsciously walked along the road. Suddenly, she frowned. When she came to her senses, she suddenly found that she had deviated from the original path and planned to leave this place in silence.

But after a pause, she couldn't help looking around. The sunset had fallen and the surroundings looked very dark. Only then did she realize that he had walked to a garbage station at the foot of the mountain. The street lights here had been out of order for a long time. Only one or two old ones were still emitting dim lights. The surrounding garbage was giving off an unpleasant smell, and the rotten things were piled up here. It seemed that no one had dealt with them for a long time.

However, these smells couldn't hide the smell of blood.

She did not know why, but it seemed that her senses were much sharper than before her rebirth, especially toward the smell of blood. If she sniffed it carefully, she could smell it in the air.

After a few seconds of silence, she finally found the source of the smell of blood along with the smell in the air.

It was a very remote corner, covered by hard chains and wooden shelves. It was difficult for ordinary people to find this place if they didn't look carefully.

As soon as she reached out her hand to lift the hard metal, she felt that her back was poked by a cold metal object.

"Don't move!"

A low and cold voice came behind her.

Tang Jingyun pursed her lips and slowly raised her hands.

"Turn around, don't play any tricks! My gun is loaded. Be careful!" The low and cold voice continued to order.

Tang Jingyun turned around and finally saw the man who was pointing at her with a gun.

Under the dim yellow light, a man of about 1.9 meters tall, his shoulders were broad and he looked very strong, he was wearing a dark vest, black trousers, and a pair of military boots. He was expressionless and holding a black pistol in his hand.

Tang Jingyun only felt a strong sense of oppression on her face. Just the movement of standing with a gun was intimidating enough.

She never put down her hand above her head. Looking straight at the man opposite her, she calmly explained, "Don't get me wrong. I just came here by mistake. I have no purpose. If you need, I can leave immediately."

The strange feeling in Jiang Ye's heart flashed away. This young and strange guest was somewhat beyond his expectation.

This was an extremely beautiful woman. She was not very old, about 1.7 meters tall. Her pair of narrow eyes were particularly outstanding. When she looked up at him, her eyes were slightly raised, showing her charm.

Logically speaking, a girl at her age could not pull off a pair of narrow eyes like those. Her face was very tender, and it could be seen at a glance that she was still a girl from college. However, her eyes were extremely deep, carrying with them the vicissitudes of life. They were like a pool of deep wells, which made people unable to see the bottom at a glance.

Later, he heard the woman's voice. It was very cold, like a stream in the mountain hitting the rocks. Her voice was very calm, as if she could not sense any panic, with maturity that did not match her young appearance.

Jiang Ye frowned slightly. "You broke in by mistake? Then why did you go straight to the place where I hid?"

Tang Jingyun explained seriously, "My sense of smell is very sensitive. I smell the blood..."

She suddenly found that the smell of blood on this man was very strong. Taking a closer look, through the dim light, she found that there was a dark stain on the front of his black vest.

Seeing that Jiang Ye's expression didn't change, he could only continue, "You can search me. I don't have anything to hide."

Jiang Ye was silent for a few seconds and said, "Sorry, you are too calm. You don't act like your age when facing a gun pointing at you. I have to keep doubts about your identity."

The corner of Tang Jingyun's mouth revealed a hint of helplessness. As the House Master of the Tang family, she had once requested to remain calm on any occasion in exchange for her own benefits. For a moment, she had forgotten that she was just a very young child.

While the two of them were confronting each other, Tang Jingyun's ears twitched. She narrowed her eyes and said, "There are people moving in this direction from two hundred meters from the northeast. The number of people is unknown."

There was a flash of surprise in Jiang Ye's eyes. Half a minute later, his ears moved and he heard a small rubbing sound. He knew that the woman in front of him was telling the truth. He whispered, "Go, head to the west!"
