Chapter 121 Fifteen Years
She wants to clean up all Xu Boyuan's belongings.
When he thought of this, Xu Jiayu's fatigue and sleepiness dissipated in an instant.
Maybe it was because he was very tired, but Lin Mochen was sleeping soundly. The fine hair on his forehead was a little messy, which gave him a bit of casualness that was rarely seen in ordinary times. He looked much younger.
Quietly, he moved Lin Mochen's arm away. Fortunately, his breathing was still steady and he did not wake up.
As soon as he walked into the study room, he saw the mottled thermos cup in the corner. An uncontrollable anger rushed up and went straight to his forehead.
Her eyes glanced back and forth in the room. She was looking for a bag and threw away the thermos cup first. When she turned around, she suddenly saw a lonely backpack leaning against the bookcase. It looked bulging because it contained a lot of things.
Lin Mochen is very considerate. As long as she holds something in her hand, she will take it consciously. He put the backpack in the study.
Xu Jiayu took out the boxes of cassettes. Unexpectedly, she brought back an old DV player.
In the era when TV shopping was on the rise, Ms. Meng, as a fashion trendsetter, was of course unwilling to be left behind. This is how this DV player came to her. In her memory, Ms. Meng seemed to have used it to shoot many interesting short videos.
After Ms. Meng passed away, her belongings were sorted by her and kept by Xu Boyuan. When she left home, she asked Xu Boyuan for Ms. Meng's mobile phone. Xu Boyuan said he was afraid that she would be sad, but she did not force it.
Now that Ms. Meng had very few things left, she took a deep breath and gently stroked the somewhat cold machine in her arms.
If the DV player can be repaired, does that mean we can still see Ms. Meng?
Xu Jiayu pressed the buttons a few times, but the DV player didn't respond. She stood up and carefully put the DV player away, preparing to take the time to send it for repair.
The originally full backpack had become light and fluffy, and I touched it a few times to make sure there was nothing missing.
notebook?
She took out the small book with burnt yellow edges and warped edges. The cover had long since disappeared, the spine was rattling and about to fall apart, and the edges were in tatters.
On it were vaguely written some phone numbers, names of vegetables, and how many kilograms they weighed.
The blue ink of the ballpoint pen has smudged out, and much of it has become tangled with the musty yellow paper.
The notebook ended up recording some numbers that looked like dates backwards.
200103,1500.
200106,3000.
200109,2300.
I quickly turned back a few pages.
200701,1100.
200703,2000.
……
After a cursory look at the numbers starting from 1994 and continuing to 2009, she really didn't know what they meant.
Throwing it into the trash bag, it was already five o'clock in the morning. Xu Jiayu got up to wash up and prepare to see Ms. Meng.
She was suddenly startled. The handwriting on the notebook clearly belonged to a woman, but the handwriting did not belong to Ms. Meng.
Could this be He Guifang's notebook?
etc!
2007, 2000……
Are these data records of Xu Boyuan’s remittances?
She looked at the storage bag on the desk in disbelief, which contained the bank remittance advice that Lin Mochen had sorted out for her.
Xu Jiayu dug out the bank remittance notices and compared them one by one with the numbers on his notebook.
All the strength in his body seemed to be dissipating little by little along with those numbers.
Looking at the row of checkmarks behind the numbers, Xu Jiayu suddenly felt that Ms. Meng was very pathetic.
The man she loved with all her heart had cheated on her for fifteen years.
A whole fifteen years! Xu Boyuan should not be engaged in archeology at all. He should be an actor. He must have achieved greater achievements than he does today.
An inexplicable sadness slowly spread from the bottom of my heart to my limbs.
She suddenly felt cold, no, it was aversion to cold.
Every nerve in her body was tense, screaming, and protesting to her.
Xu Jiayu could only press against the back of the chair and clenched his hands tightly to prevent himself from tearing up all the evidence.
When Lin Mochen found Xu Jiayu, she was sitting motionless on her chair, looking straight at the desk and biting her lip.
"Wife?"
He knocked on the door, but Xu Jiayu didn't respond. Lin Mochen stepped forward and took the woman into his arms.
Xu Jiayu's whole body froze, and fine cold sweat covered her forehead. The moment she saw him, her empty eyes regained some sparkle, and then her lower lip, which she had bitten tightly, suddenly trembled, and her lips overflowed. A suppressed sob.
"...The money Xu Boyuan remitted was all for He Guifang."
The words were full of bitterness.

After she finished saying this with difficulty, she fell weakly into his arms.
"Honey, just cry if you want to. It's only me here, no one else."
"I don't want to cry anymore, I'm tired." Xu Jiayu took a deep breath and shook his head silently.
Lin Mochen knelt down and stared at the woman in front of him with a complicated expression.
He pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Don't punish yourself with other people's mistakes, and don't expect the people who have hurt you to apologize to you. I know it's cruel, but it's a done deal. These are facts that cannot be changed. Try to accept and solve it. Maybe we can What should be done most.”
Xu Jiayu lowered his eyes and nodded silently.
Suddenly he said in a panic, "Did I disturb you? I'm sorry, what time is it now? Did you sleep well? Will it delay your work?"
Lin Mochen stroked the ends of her still red eyes with his fingertips, leaned over and kissed her lips gently, "Don't worry, I took a leave of absence from work. Aren't I going to see my mother-in-law?"
"I never said it, how do you know?"
"Last time when I got the keys back, Xu Shujie said, you know I am very sensitive to numbers, so I remembered them unintentionally."
Surgery, outpatient service, ward rounds, laboratories, rare breaks, and preparation of lessons. What can a person who is so busy all day long say "unintentional".
Xu Jiayu felt her eyes blurred again. She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down and tried to smile, "Thanks to my Mr. Lin for the hard work."

Ms. Meng’s tombstone is that of a husband and wife buried together.
When Ms. Meng passed away in 2012, Xu Boyuan personally selected it. It faces north and south, facing home. Ms. Meng’s favorite jasmine was specially planted next to the tombstone.
She remembers clearly that when choosing tombstones, the staff saw that Xu Boyuan was young and wanted to dissuade Xu Boyuan from changing the style. When it comes to writing down the names of the couple in advance, even if it is described in red letters, some people will be taboo.
Xu Boyuan bluntly said that he had no taboos, and the staff did not persuade him any further. At that time, she still felt that Xu Boyuan was the most affectionate man in the world.
Out of guilt, she agreed to bury Xu Boyuan and Ms. Meng together a few months ago.
But now she stood in front of the counter, facing the surprised expression of the staff, and nodded firmly.
"OK, I want to remove the writing on the tombstone."
"Miss, do you want to move the grave?" the staff member then asked, "Indeed, there is a newly developed cemetery on the west side of the city. I have also visited it. The environment! It is better than ours. But let's talk about the management. It’s hard to say, after all, it’s just been developed, and the price is not much cheaper than ours, right? You still have to carry your uncle there, how troublesome is that?”
