Chapter 89: LighthouseWu Zifei’s funeral did not end until the afternoon, and it began to rain heavily in the gloomy sky.

The autumn rain was cold, and Wu Chenjin put his coat on Song Nuanyi.

They were not in a hurry to go home. Instead, they went to a lighthouse.

The Capital city happened to be on the edge of the North Sea. There were always a lot of busy sailors and cargo carriers in the bay here. The lighthouse was their starting point, and it was also the mark for the harbor.

The heavy rain poured down from the sky like a waterfall. The rain fell on the car window, making a fierce sound. The dense flow of water blurred their vision.

Wu Chenjin looked at the lighthouse in the distance silently. The white light of the lighthouse would turn once every minute, so every minute, the white light would pass through the rain and sweep across his face.

After a long time, he turned to look at Song Nuanyi. His voice was very hoarse, and there was obvious fatigue in it. “Nuanyi, do you know why I brought you here?”

Song Nuanyi saw the red veins in his eyes and felt her heart ache. She asked in a low voice, “Is it because of Zifei?”

Wu Chenjin nodded. “Yes.”

He looked at the lighthouse again, and he said, “Zifei said that she wanted to like this lighthouse because she felt that this light had watched her grow up. Every time she was unhappy, she would come here to count the number of times the lighthouse turned.”

At this point, Wu Chenjin’s eyes began to show sadness, like the storm outside. It was so cold that he could not breathe. He choked, and his Adam’s apple moved with difficulty.

He said, “Zifei told me that the most she counted was 380 times.”

Wu Chenjin lowered his eyelids. His thick eyelashes covered his sorrowful eyes, leaving only his weak voice.

“That time, I told her to leave this place. She cried for a long time. She didn’t want to leave the house. Even though there was no place for us in that house, she still didn’t want to leave.”

He buried his face in his palm. Song Nuanyi could not see his expression. She could only hear his sobs amidst the mixed sounds of the rain.

“That was the only time I lost my temper with her. In order to take her away, I said a lot of harsh words. She came alone to the lighthouse to count the light turning. She, she alone, counted for the whole night.”

Song Nuanyi saw that his shoulders were trembling slightly, and his voice had turned into a sobbing tone. She hugged Wu Chenjin with heartache. When she thought about how Wu Zifei had gone abroad in her previous life and did not die unexpectedly, she could not help but feel a deep sense of guilt.

She thought about it countless times. Was it because of her rebirth that changed the lives of these people? If it was not for her, would Wu Zifei not have to die?

There were not so many ifs in this world. Rebirth seemed to be a chance given to her by God, but it also meant that she had to pay the price.

She could not help but open her mouth and say sincerely, “I’m sorry.”

Wu Chenjin did not say anything, nor did he move.

He did not know that Song Nuanyi’s apology was a real apology. He just thought that Song Nuanyi did not know how to comfort him, so she said she was sorry.

The dark night in the storm was like black ink that could not be washed away. She stayed in the car with Wu Chenjin the whole night until the rain stopped in the middle of the night and the sun rose in the morning.

Song Nuanyi sent Wu Chenjin home and returned to her home. She changed her clothes and went straight to the company.

She saw the message from Assistant Chen in the morning.

Assistant Chen was waiting for her in the president’s office. There was still the information he had researched on the table, but Song Nuanyi found it strange after reading it.

Why did this man look so familiar? It was not until she flipped to the last page and saw the man’s father that she remembered.

This man’s father had been Wu Chenjin’s driver in his previous life, and this man had appeared not long after Wu Zifei had left the country.

Could it be…

Wu Zifei had also died in her previous life? The Wu Family had deliberately said that she had left the country to cover their tracks? After all, after Wu Zifei left the country, Song Nuanyi did not see her again.

This man’s son killed Wu Chenjin’s sister and became his chauffeur in the end. Thinking of this, Song Nuanyi felt disgusted.
