The Pianist And The Lady[Republic Of China Gl] Chapter 74

Chapter 74

After saying those words, Lan Yuan was silent for a long time. She explained her original decision and was prepared to be criticized by Lisa.

“Your words completely stand from your standpoint. It seems great and sacrificial, but in fact it is heartless and selfish.”

Lisa continued to scold——

“You still don’t understand Ann well enough. Ann loved you back then. As long as she stays with you, she is willing to suffer no matter how hard it is. You two are each other’s lovers. You will both prosper and suffer. How can we talk about being a drag?”

“Your parents, brother and sister-in-law are important, so Ann is not important? Does she deserve to be abandoned by you? Why do you take it for granted that she will have a better life without you!”

“She almost died in the sea in winter, and you almost never saw her again in your life!”

Lisa talked about the emotional part and couldn’t help crying. She continued to tell Lan Yuan about Shen Xian’s seven years in England——

On December 15, 1929, Shen Xian took a boat back to London and lived with his parents.

When Joe saw Ann return to England with a skinny face and a sallow complexion, he knew something bad had happened. She didn’t dare to ask Shen Xian what happened, but she knew it had something to do with Lan Yuan.

Seeing Ann immersed in sadness, Joe did not dare to tell Ann about his father’s mental condition.

In fact, Shen Xian’s father Robert has been living in struggle all these years. He has been repenting for the crimes he committed, but he did not expect that his crimes would be discovered by his beloved daughter.

Robert felt even more guilty after knowing that Ann had traveled far away from home because of his sins and had trouble sleeping and eating.

Every day since Ann left the UK, Robert wanted to die to apologize and die, so that he would be freed and Ann would let go of the pain in her heart.Especially when looking at his daughter’s photos, this idea became even stronger in his mind.

But on that foggy day in London, Robert opened the door and saw Ann coming back. He thought that Ann had forgiven him for his evil deeds, so he chose to return to England. This was the first time that he had the courage to live.

But Robert found that whenever he talked to Ann, Ann would either be in a daze or ignore him, so he had the idea that his daughter hated him again, and thought about dying.

In the blink of an eye, it has been ten days since I returned home, and Christmas is here——

Shen Xian specially changed into beautiful clothes and planned to spend the day with her family. She planned to say goodbye to the past after this Christmas!

From last year’s Christmas with Blue Kite, to the end of this Christmas, everything is completely over!

Shen Xian also plans to have a good communication with his father after the festival and face his father’s past.

She didn’t dare to face it before, but now after experiencing some things, she has gained the courage to lead her father out of pain and sin.

The evil deeds my father committed passively should not be punished with indifference, nor should all of them be blamed on his father alone. Everyone is just a dust of the times!

Moreover, Shen Xian believes that a loving and kind father will definitely repent on his own initiative. Everyone should be given a chance to forgive!

Joe made hazelnut cake and apple pie, Robert made black tea, and the three of them gathered around the fireplace to talk.

Robert kept telling his love story with Joe and Shen Xian’s growth story, dancing and dancing as if he wanted to finish telling his whole life in one night.

Joe and Ann couldn’t get a word in, so they listened carefully to Robert’s story and acted like loyal listeners.

Ann looked at her father’s relaxed and cheerful look, and recalled the happy days of their family.That night, she suddenly felt that she had been cured!This night she no longer felt sad for Lan Yuan.

Joe looked at Ann’s dress and smile, and Robert’s carefree look, and felt that everything was slowly getting better. He felt that after this Christmas, everything would slowly get better, and the family would be revitalized!

After eating the last piece of apple pie, the clock struck midnight, and the three of them went back to their room to rest.

Ann and Joe are both looking forward to tomorrow.

Robert secretly came to the study while his wife was sleeping, wrote his last words, opened the drawer, took out the pistol that he had polished countless times, and loaded a bullet into it.

The hour hand pointed to six o’clock in the morning. Robert struggled for four hours from two o’clock in the morning, and finally pulled the trigger and shot himself.

Shen Xian was the first to rush to the study. She saw her father’s head with bloody flesh, collapsed on the ground, and screamed at the sky!

Joe heard the noise and rushed over. He was so disbelieving that he fainted on the spot.

After dealing with his father’s funeral, Shen Xian learned from his mother that his father had been in a bad mental state and was on the verge of death. His own neglect of his father when he returned home accelerated his death.

For a time, all the guilt and debt were blocked in Shen Xian’s chest. She felt that she was the murderer of her father!

The sea water in winter was freezing cold, and Shen Xian stood on the shore listening to the sound of the waves. Every sound was swallowing up her desire to survive.

Lan Yuan abandoned her and forced her father to death. She didn’t want to continue her dying life!

This sea area where she once picked up seashells to make beautiful wind chimes will soon be her burial place.

She closed her eyes and walked towards the sea step by step, letting the sea water reach her head and letting her body sink. She no longer struggled or hesitated!

Lisa had already noticed something was wrong with Shen Xian and had been following her silently. Watching Shen Xian commit suicide, she immediately swam into the biting sea water and tried her best to pull the person up.

“Please cherish your life for Aunt Joe. If you are gone, she will only die! A wife who has lost her husband cannot lose her child again!”

After Lisa’s persuasion, Shen Xian was reluctant to survive, but depression and anorexia have surrounded her all the time for seven years, leaving her frail and skinny.

From January 1930 to the end of August 1930, Shen Xian accompanied her mother through the pain of losing her husband. She was also haunted by nightmares every night. When she dreamed back at midnight, she always saw her father’s bloody state!

In September 1930, Shen Xian returned to school and still lived at home. She tried her best to appear happy in front of her mother!

In July 1931, she graduated successfully. Joe gave her flowers and blessings, and Lisa took a beautiful graduation photo for her.

In 1932, Shen Xian and Lisa began to perform charity performances to raise funds to build homes for children displaced by the war. However, in April of that year, she was accidentally shot. The bullet passed through her hair and almost penetrated her head.

In May 1932, Shen Xian bought a boat ticket back to China, transferred to Shanghai and drifted for a month back to Yangzhou.

Because the moment the bullet flew over, Shen Xian found that the person flashing in his mind was still Lan Yuan!

It’s been nearly three years since they broke up, but she still hides Lan Yuan’s photo under her pillow and in her pocket, and she never fails to love that person!

Because I love the person with my life, I don’t want to die without even seeing him!

In Yangzhou, Shen Xian found out that Lan Yuan had moved to Nanjing, and rushed to Yangzhou without stopping. He took a look at Lan Yuan from a distance on the bank of the Qinhuai River. At that time, Lan Yuan was boating on the lake with Zhao Wencheng and Zhao Jing.

A family of three, enjoying themselves happily.

Shen Xian felt that the weather was particularly good that day, just like the day she and Lan Yuan went boating many years ago, but they could change people on the boat.

Seeing Lan Yuan’s happy look, Shen Xian subconsciously smiled slightly and waved as a greeting to Lan Yuan.

It’s a pity that Lan Yuan didn’t see it at all and only focused on hugging Zhao Jing!

After watching Lan Yuan, Shen Xian went to visit Hunter. Hunter told her that Lan Yuan would come over occasionally, so Shen Xian gave her graduation photos to Hunter because she wanted Lan Yuan to see her beautiful appearance.

Shen Xian hopes that the way he looks in Lan Yuan’s eyes is not the way he slit his wrists unreasonably that day, but the way he looks bright and bright in his bachelor’s uniform!

After bidding farewell to Hunter, Shen Xian returned to the UK!

Because he had already met Lan Yuan, Shen Xian felt that there were fewer regrets left in his life, his depression was a little better, and he was now willing to take the initiative to talk to people occasionally.

After talking about Shen Xian’s past three years, Lisa was already crying!

Lan Yuan opened the drawer and took out the ship ticket and repeatedly confirmed that the date was July 15, 1929. However, according to Lisa’s story just now, Shen Xian only arrived in the UK on December 15, 1929, which meant that Shen Xian did not board the ship at all.

Why didn’t Shen Xian get on the ship? What happened to Shen Xian from July to November 1929?

Lan Yuan’s heart became more and more confused, but the closer she got to the truth, Lan Yuan also knew how much harm she had brought to Shen Xian, and she also knew that Shen Xian loved her more deeply than she imagined!

“Ann would cry when she was in a daze during those years. Her tears would fall uncontrollably. She didn’t dare to touch red things and didn’t eat meat. She suffered much more than you think!”

“Because she ate a lot of cold food and didn’t have enough nutrition, her liver has been getting sick intermittently for the past seven years, and her stomach has also been in trouble!”

Lisa adjusted her mood and continued.

“I didn’t know she would go through this, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” Lan Yuan held the ticket and burst into tears. She didn’t know it would hurt Shen Xian so badly.

“I’m not telling you this just to hear you say I’m sorry.” Lisa comforted, patting Lan Yuan on the shoulder, “Many things are unpredictable for us, and I don’t blame you or Ann.”

“But it’s all irreversible, all this tragedy has happened, and I’m only sorry.” Lan Yuan cried.

“Do you know? Ann has always loved you, and she has never doubted that you love her. All she has always said is that you abandoned her, and what she hates most is that you abandoned her.”

Lisa couldn’t help but said it because she knew the only person who could make Ann get better was Blue Kite——

“Her love for you is the only belief that has sustained her through these seven years, so please be kind to her this time.”
