After that, Ray was put into prison. So far, Rose hadn't gotten an explanation from her father. He
neither admitted it nor denied it. He didn't even make an appeal, and accepted everything silently.
But Rose never thought that her mother would leave her forever because of this.
In Rose's eyes, her mother, Lillian, was a gentle but strong woman. She had accompanied her father
for many years and experienced a lot of ups and downs, so she would not be desperate about the
incident.
While three days after her father was put in prison, the news that her mother died by suicide came to
her.
The police found Lillian's dead body in a water bank and found a letter that had been soaked in water.
The handwriting was very vague.
According to the police and legal examiner's identification, Lillian, Rose's mother, was born alive
because she could not stand the family change of her husband's imprisonment.
Even though Rose did not want to accept it, it finally happened.
With the help of relatives, Rose held a simple funeral for her mother, and buried the cremains in the
cemetery on Dongping Mountain, the suburb of the city.
When people left, something happened to the Lin Family. Because of this major change, the group of
people who wanted to seek ties of kinship now all moved far away. They wanted to make a clean break
with Rose, not to mention help her. It was the first time for Rose to see the coldness of human heart
and the cruelty of human world.
At the same time, Rose just graduated from university and was suffering a series of big blows in her life
without social baptism. She used to live a dream life, but now she forced herself to become strong
overnight. Her father was put in jail and her mother was dead. She would never allow herself to die, as
the only one left in the Lin Family.
Thinking of that dark and gloomy time, Rose couldn't help but cry, and her heart ached fiercely.
At that time, Tina stayed by Rose's side all day long, fearing that she would take things too hard just
like Lillian did. At that time, Tina and Yang secretly got the marriage license without telling their parents.
They are too late to hold the wedding, but because of the misfortune of Rose's family, the wedding was
temporarily delayed.
Seeing that Rose cried her face every day and often sat in bed with her eyes wandering, Tina was
worried and distressed. In order to make her happy, Tina had to talk with her everyday and collected all
kinds of jokes online.
But it was also because of the company of Tina that Rose calmed down day by day and gradually
walked out of the haze of the family.
In Rose's heart, Tina was a warm family.
The door of memory was closed gently. The taxi driver threw the cigarette end out of the window after
he smoked it and rolled up the window. Still, Rose didn't respond. She leaned her head against the
window and gazed at the red banner which read, "the construction site". It had been a long time since
that happened, but this was the first time for Rose to see the project in reality. This reminded her of that
period of time when she was unwilling to look back. Since her father died, she rarely went shopping,
and even unconsciously avoided Ninth Block.
The driver turned around and found that Rose was preoccupied. Confused as he was, he didn't ask
much and just kept silent.
Having been blocked in the street for a long time, the driver impatiently honked several times, which
caused a series of chain reactions. The honks of the cars on the street began to ring, making people
feel more and more irritable.
Finally, the motionless troop started to move slowly, and the driver followed the speed of the cars in the
front slowly out of the busy street.

The phone in her bag rang at the moment when she went into Yunshang Road. Rose opened her bag
and took out her vibrating mobile phone. Looking at the name of Tina flashing on the screen, she
pressed the "answer" button.
"Hello Rose. Haven't you arrived yet? I've been here for a while. Is the name of this restaurant Jasper?
" Tina said impatiently.
"Yes, it's Jasper." Tina answered. Rose felt sorry for keeping Tina waiting for long time, because she
had been stuck in a traffic jam for a while. Wait for me in the dining room, I'll be there soon. " Rose said
apologetically. Mentioning Ninth Block's name still made her nervous.
Hearing the name of Ninth Block, Tina understood what she meant. She was worried that Rose would
be unhappy when she thought about what had happened in her family, so she deliberately avoided the
traffic jam and said, "Don't say sorry please, Do you want to break up with me? Okay, I'll wait for you.
Take care and don't worry. "
"Okay, "Rose said softly and drew back the wire. When she and Tina were still students in the past,
they also slept in the dormitory's bed for a long time every night, talking about various expectations for
their future lovers. At that time, their lives were both simple and happy. They thought that as long as
they fell in love with someone, they could be with each other forever. They had never thought that their
future life would experience so many hardships and pains. Thinking of the terrible situation of herself
and Tina, Rose was relieved and sighed deeply.
Soon, Rose arrived at the door of the restaurant. She took out her wallet, took out one hundred Yuan
and handed it to the driver, whispering, "thank you, sir. You don't need to make change for it."
The taxi driver took the money and suddenly turned around to smile at Rose before she got off the taxi.
"lady, it's better for you to smile. Don't always pull a long face. Anything unpleasant will be okay."
Hearing that, Rose was a little stunned, then a faint smile appeared on her face, "thank you and
goodbye." She got out of the car and waved goodbye to the driver. Kindness from strangers could
always make people feel particularly warm.
The driver nodded at her, rolled down the window, pressed on the gas and disappeared at the end of
the street.
"Rose, here!" As soon as Rose entered the restaurant, he saw Tina waving excitedly at her in the
customers waiting area.
"Sorry to be late. Are you hungry?" Rose walked quickly to Tina and asked apologetically.
"Yes, I am okay. But my baby doesn't agree with this." Said Tina with a smile, touching her lower
abdomen which was not obvious.
"Baby, I'm late. You must be hungry." Smiling softly, Rose reached out her hand and covered Tina's
belly.
With these thoughts in her mind, Tina took Rose's hand, put her head on Rose's shoulder, and
deliberately said in a low voice, "let's go, let's go. Aunt Rose is going to treat us a dinner. We must have
a good time today. "
Hand in hand, they chatted in a quiet box led by a waiter.
