But the man turned his head directly and denied it as he walked out, "No, no, you recognized the wrong person."

Xiao Meng wanted to chase her again, but she had already pushed the door open, slipped into the crowd and disappeared.

Xiaomeng couldn't help but sigh as he watched her disappear into the sea of ​​people.

She and Xiangxiu have not seen each other for many years. The last time I heard from her was when she was kicked out of the house by her stepmother Wang Yun after the scandal spread with Wang Tianlai, and she took the train south to explore the world by herself.

In the following years, Xiang Xiuer just disappeared from the world. She never returned to Ivory Mountain, and people no longer heard from her.

But I didn't expect that today, she would bump into her here.

Although Xiangxiu strongly denied it, Xiao Meng was sure it was her.

She really couldn't imagine what Xiangxiu had suffered in the past few years, and she was so damaged that she was like this. It was really sad and pitiful.

In fact, if she had been more reserved and not interacted with Li Daguo, at least she would still be the daughter-in-law of the Wang family. The Wang family's billions of property would ensure her a comfortable life. Why would she have to apply for a job as a waiter now that she is so old?

…

Xiao Meng then told Xiang Nan the news.

After Xiang Nan heard this, he felt a little sad. He didn't expect that the village belle of Ivory Mountain would be reduced to this state. It was really touching.

But having said that, there is no way for good or bad luck to come, it is all brought about by oneself.

If Xiangxiu had lived a good life with Wang Musheng after getting married and not messed around with Li Daguo, how could she have fallen to this point?

If she repented after divorcing Wang Musheng, with her beauty, it would not be difficult to find someone to take over. By then, it would be impossible to become rich and powerful, and she would still be able to live a smooth life.

However, she got involved with Wang Tianlai. As a result, everything was lost, and even her father was implicated by her. What a pitiful person, there must be something hateful about her.

Now that she has fallen to this point, Wang Changgui went out to work and hasn't returned to Ivory Mountain for several years. Now he doesn't even know whether he is dead or alive. This father and daughter really have the same problem.

"Yongqiang, do you think we should look for her?" Mother Xiaomeng said with a heart attack.

She felt that Xiangxiu was also quite pitiful. Since they were from the same village and grew up together, and it was so difficult to see her, she should reach out and give her a hand.

"Forget it. She doesn't even want to admit that she is Xiangxiu. Obviously she doesn't want to accept our help." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said, "Besides, how can we help her? Ask her to be our waiter? Or?

What about giving her a sum of money? It’s not appropriate, so let’s forget it.”

If they were ordinary villagers, it would be okay to be invited to work. But Xiangxiu's identity was too embarrassing. Not only was she their classmate, friend, and even a blind date with Xiang Nan at one time, it was not easy to treat her like an ordinary villager.

Treating her badly is like adding insult to injury; treating her too well is like having other agendas. It's hard to grasp the right balance.

Furthermore, who knows what Xiangxiu has experienced and what changes she has undergone in the past few years. If she gets better and corrects all her previous problems, that would be better. What if she contracts new problems?

, the restaurants that are mixed up will not be able to live in peace, which will be troublesome.

So Xiang Nan doesn't advocate helping her. She did everything by herself, and he really can't afford to pay for her.

Xiaomeng thought for a while, nodded, and didn't mention the matter again.

…

Xiao Meng's restaurant is doing well, making a lot of money every day. Xiang Nan is also making a lot of money, and the popularity of IP has gradually increased in the past two years.

Xiang Nan successively sold the film and television adaptation rights, comic adaptation rights, audio novel adaptation rights, game adaptation rights, etc. of the novel "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and made a lot of money by taking advantage of the IP boom.

…

Two more years later, the Ivory Mountain Restaurant became even more prosperous and very popular with customers. Every day, there were a huge number of people queuing up.

At the busiest time, you have to wait an hour or two for a seat.

After thinking about it, Xiaomeng wanted to open a new branch to entertain more customers. After she discussed it with Xiang Nan, Xiang Nan was naturally willing to do it.

However, he also reminded Xiaomeng not to let himself get too tired. After all, you can’t make enough money, but your body is yours.

At this moment, news also came from Ivory Mountain Village.

Changgui, who had been missing for several years, finally came back, but he was completely changed beyond recognition.

It turned out that he went to the city to work, first in construction. Within two years of working, his body collapsed from exhaustion, and he encountered several wage arrears. He was tired and had no money.

After that, he could no longer do heavy work. He worked as a security guard and looked after people's doors. He also worked as a courier, ran a sales department, and set up a street stall... He worked at least half of the 360 ​​jobs.

However, after so many years of hard work, I haven’t made much money. On the contrary, my health is getting worse day by day. Since half a year ago, I have been coughing non-stop, even though I quit smoking.

Later, I really couldn't hold on any longer, so I went to the hospital for a check-up and found out that I had advanced lung cancer and I would be alive in a few days.

Changgui didn't want to die outside, so he returned to Ivory Mountain Village.

When the old and young men in the village heard that he had this disease, some were distressed and some were gloating about his misfortune.

Liu Neng felt very distressed and even gave him five thousand yuan to buy some supplements and take good care of his body.

However, Zhao Si felt that Chang Gui was to blame.

The head of the water conservancy station did a good job at the time, but he got involved with that Su Yuhong. As a result, his reputation was ruined, his job was lost, and his wife was gone.

…

Changgui died shortly after returning to the village.

Because Xiangxiu didn't come back, the young and old men in the village couldn't contact her, so the village committee took the lead in organizing the funeral for Changgui.

On the day of the funeral, although no notice was given, Xie Dajiao, Wang Dana, Wang Yun, Qi Santai, Su Yuhong and others all arrived.

After death, the debts are wiped out, and all the previous grudges and grudges are buried in the ground, leaving only a sigh.

…

Five years later, Xie Guangkun also died. The cause of death was cerebral hemorrhage.

After entering the city, he opened a mountain goods store, so he no longer had to run around as before. In addition, he ate well and lived well, so he suffered from excessive nutrition and developed high blood pressure.

When I fell asleep that night, I felt numbness in my hands and feet, so I quickly called Zhao Jinfeng. By the time Zhao Jinfeng frantically called 120 and called an ambulance to take him to the hospital, it was already too late and he was already unconscious.

After Xiang Nan and Xiaomeng received the news, they rushed back by plane with Xie Wangsun.

I saw him for the last time in the hospital.

"You are my... eldest granddaughter, I can see... a real person~" Xie Guangkun took Xie Wangsun's hand and said.

Over the years, he had only seen his granddaughter in photos and WeChat videos. Now, before he died, he saw her in person.

I haven’t seen him for more than ten years, but my granddaughter has grown so big that she looks taller than him. She is also quite handsome, with eyes and nose like his father, and her forehead and mouth like her mother.

"Call grandpa and listen~" he requested.

"Grandpa~" Xie Wangsun shouted sensibly.

"Hey." Xie Guangkun grinned. After hearing this, grandpa, he was willing to die.

"Yongqiang, you kid... is so cruel. After all these years... if you say you won't come back... you really won't come back." Xie Guangkun looked at Xiang Nan again.

Xiang Nan responded in silence. To be honest, he was indeed a bit too much towards Xie Guangkun.

But having said that, if he didn't do this, Xie Guangkun's character would definitely make the family unhappy.
