Chapter: 2398
Su Zhiyu said somewhat reluctantly: "Mom! How can we not confront that woman who seduced someone else's husband? She's just too extreme!"
"Don't worry about it." Du Haiqing said calmly: "She's also a pitiful person; I have nothing to blame her for. You two shouldn't go confront her either; emotional things are all personal choices, and there's no right or wrong."
Su Zhiyu asked somewhat reluctantly: "Mom, what are you planning to do next?"
Du Haiqing smiled and said: "I don't have any plans, I'll just wait until your dad figures things out then quickly get a divorce; if he can figure it out soon, I'll get divorced and go out to clear my mind; but if he takes his time figuring it out, I won't waste my time waiting for him, first I'll go out for a spin."
Su Zhiyu hurriedly asked: "Mom, where are you going to clear your mind?"
Du Haiqing smiled slightly and said two words: "Jinling!"
The idea of Du Haiqing wanting to go to Jinling had been buried in her heart for nearly 20 years.
After Yè Chángyǐ's passing, she had always wanted to go to Jinling to take a look; after all, that was where Yè Chángyǐ's life came to an end.
As a woman who loved him half her lifetime, she particularly hoped to be able to go to Jinling and walk around, looking and living for a while, trying to find any remaining traces of Yè Chángyǐ's existence.
However, as a married woman, her moral principles had always reminded her not to go to Jinling because it would indeed be unfair to her husband.
Du Haiqing quietly went to Yè's ancestral tomb to pay respects to Yè Chángyǐ, which had been something she felt guilty about in her heart for Du Haiqing's sake. However, now that she was no longer bound by moral principles.
Since Su Shou Dao's physical health had deteriorated beforehand and had already broken the gentleman's agreement between herself and Su Shou Dao, she no longer felt bound by any reasons to restrain herself; it was time to realize her desire to go to Jinling to take a look.
When Su Zhīyu heard his mom say they were going to Jinling, he immediately got excited and said, "Mom! My brother and I are just about to head to Jinling! Why don't we go together?"
Du Haiqing curiously asked, "What will you do in Jinling? Why haven't you mentioned it?"
Su Zhīyu hurriedly replied, "Mom, I'm going to Jinling on business, coincidentally. If you're also going, I'll arrange the flight and hotel for us!"
Du Haiqing laughed, saying, "There's no need to book a hotel; your grandfather has an old house in Jinling that's been well-maintained these years. We can stay there when we go."
Su Zhīyu was startled and asked, "Mom, Grandfather still has a house in Jinling? How come I've never heard of it before?"
Du Haiqing smiled, saying, "Your dad avoids talking about Jinling, so you naturally didn't know about the house either. We haven't been to Jinling for many years."
As she spoke, Du Haiqing introduced, "The old house your grandfather has in Jinling is truly impressive; it's right next to the presidential residence. That house has been around since the Ming dynasty, and throughout the Qing and Republican eras, it was always home to prominent figures. Your grandfather only bought it in the 1970s with a hefty sum of money; he and your grandmother occasionally spend some time there."
Su Zhini felt a sudden urge to recall past events as soon as he heard his dad avoided talking about Jinling. He was familiar with some things that had happened back then and knew his mom had always been fond of Ye Changqing, who unfortunately passed away in Jinling. So, his heart was suddenly filled with tangled emotions.
Just then, Su Zhiyu spoke up without hesitation: "Mom, why don't you come home to grandma's place tonight and take a good rest? We'll leave early tomorrow morning for Jinling!"
Du Haiqing said: "Okay, the two of you shouldn't discuss my things with your dad either. That's just between us; it won't affect our relationships or yours."
Su Zhini and Su Zhiyu chimed in together: "Understood, Mom."
Du Haiqing finally looked satisfied: "Alright then, I'll head to grandma's place now, and don't worry about me for the time being."
Su Zhiyu rushed out: "Mom, make sure you get a good rest tonight, and I'll call you in the morning!" JrNovels.com
