The kind where the heroine is sober and determined

"On our anniversary, I worked late into the night at the company.

Open the mobile phone, just to see my husband and female net celebrity live diving on the beach in the Maldives, bullet screen of "beauty and talent, knock me to death".

I turned off my phone and went back to work.

The next morning, an international phone call woke me up: "Ms. Lin, I'm sorry to inform you that your husband died unexpectedly while diving in the Maldives, please come and take care of his affairs."

1

Two days later, I arrived in the Maldives by plane, just off the plane, people at the airport, I opened Zhihu, anonymously answered such a question: "How do you feel when your husband is dead?"

My answer is one word: "Cool."

The company was waiting for me at the airport with a big sign. When they saw me, they wept like dead mothers. The female net red Jiang Yingying is crying, tearful, do not know the estimate will think is her dead husband.

Jiang Yingying said to me in tears, "Sister-in-law, Brother Lu... he Just gone..."

I ignored her.

Or the assistant Zhang on the side saw a little, said: "Sister-in-law, you are sorry for your loss." We've booked a hotel for you. You'll have a night's rest."

I said, "No, just go to the funeral home."

Zhang assistant drove me to the funeral home, Jiang Yingying also wanted to follow, was stopped by others.

In the car, Assistant Zhang told me the specific experience of Luyang's accident.

It was more negligence and stupidity than accident.

In last night's live broadcast, Lu Yang was scheduled to dive at the Maldives' famous Banana Reef, where the water depth is 20 to 30 meters, which should have been a piece of cake for the veteran diver.

It would have been, if he hadn't carelessly forgotten to check his oxygen tank.

The oxygen tank is the life of every diver, and the first lesson for all people learning to dive is to carefully check their oxygen tank before entering the water to ensure that the oxygen content is sufficient and the gas supply works normally. But Lu Yang just forgot to check last night.

To make matters worse, he had a habit of leaving his used oxygen bottles lying around.

Last night, he just picked up a used oxygen cylinder, didn't check it, and went straight into the water.

In fact, even if there is a sudden lack of oxygen underwater, as long as he can remain calm and slowly rise, there is still hope.

But he panicked.

When people are alarmed, oxygen consumption increases dramatically.

In the case of lack of oxygen, people will fall into a coma for about 5 minutes, and then death is inevitable.

The underwater camera Lu Yang carried with him recorded the last moments of his life, from panicking and scrambling to gradually becoming still and no longer moving.

The video also became the final proof that Lu Yang's death was indeed an accident.

I looked at the video sent by my assistant on my mobile phone: deep and quiet underwater, the land and the ocean floating unaware, a group of beautiful fish slowly swam past him...

My heart is like this sea, no waves.

At the funeral home, Assistant Zhang went to negotiate with the staff, and I entered the morgue alone to see Lu Yang for the last time.

He lay on the cold iron bed, looking as if he were asleep, still strong and handsome.

Death smoothed all love and hate, and gave him the peace he had never had in life.

I bowed my head and kissed him on the forehead, one last time, to say goodbye.

I knew him for seven years, married him for four, and I never thought it would end like this.

I cn't help but think of Lu Yang when I first met, the man I once fell in love with regardless of everything. For a moment, tears were streaming down my face.

Assistant Zhang came over with a stack of papers, saw my tears, and silently handed me a tissue.

I wiped away my tears and asked him, "Can you just cremate here?"

Assistant Zhang nodded: "I just asked, you can arrange for the body to be shipped back to China directly, you can also cremate here first and then transport back."

I said quietly, "No need to ship it back. Lu Yang loved the sea most, so let's sprinkle his ashes into the sea."

At that moment, Assistant Zhang looked at me in the eyes, flashed a strange.

I met his gaze calmly, unmoved.

I took the thick stack of papers in his hand, one after the other, and signed his name without expression.

I then approached the funeral home staff, worked out the details of the cremation and sea burial, and paid in advance.

Everything was arranged, and Assistant Zhang drove me to the hotel to have a rest. When I left, he told me to get some rest and go to the embassy the next day to get a death certificate.

I nodded and watched him go.

Tht night, I was in a hotel in a foreign land, covered with a quilt and laughed loudly, laughing out of tears.

Lu Yag and I got to know each other in college.

At that time, Lu Yang was not only handsome in appearance, but also sincere, warm, gentle and considerate. He was like a little sun, shining brightly, spreading his light and warmth wherever he went.

It seemed natural that I would be attracted to him.

At that time, we were both members of the student council. His family was poor, and he had to work and study to afford school fees, often without money to eat. I often buy a lot of snacks, the excuse can not finish to give him.

One by one, we were together.

After graduation, Lu Yang proposed to me. Even though he had nothing, I married him in spite of the opposition of my family.

After marriage, the two of us decided to start a business together. At that time, new media was on the rise, and Lu Yang loved to travel, so the two of us created a travel blog featuring travel stories from around the world. Luyang was on camera, and I was in charge of photography and post editing.

Three years passed, and our blog gradually accumulated a large number of loyal fans, although the income is not much, but it is enough for both of us to live and eat.

Until last year, because of a live dive, Luyang accidentally exploded in the red.

Lu Yang became a popular travel expert on the Internet after his face topped the list of trending searches on various platforms. All of a sudden, we got a lot of advertising orders and made a lot of money.

Following this momentum, we registered the company and I moved completely behind the scenes. We have launched a new program: Luyang's Ocean Journey, which features Luyang diving in famous dive sites around the world.

The new show is very successful, we earn more and more money, but unconsciously, I and Lu Yang also gradually estranged. He has a full schedule, either recording videos, broadcasting live or attending events. And I have to plan the content of the show, prepare props, review the sample, and even pull advertisements everywhere to sign contracts, which is also busy.

Sometimes, we can hardly speak a word a week.

There are signs of infidelity: an empty chat log, the smell of an unfamiliar perfume on your coat, the altered passenger seat, a midnight phone call...

So many little things piled up, like evidence in a detective story, pointing to the inevitable truth.

And even though I'm blind, I can't ignore it.

A month ago, I finally had a big fight with Lu Yang, I dropped his phone, and he threw me a divorce agreement.

It seems that he was prepared for it.

From that day on, he moved out.

And I'm no longer filming for the company.

He pressed me to sign the divorce papers, and I called him ungrateful.

We never saw each other again.

When I saw you again, it was at the funeral home.

The next morning, Assistant Zhang came to the hotel to pick me up.

We first went to the embassy and waited for a long time before meeting the ambassador and receiving Lu Yang's death certificate.

Then I booked a private hotel room and had a meeting with the entire crew.

The main content of the meeting was the company's future plans.

I made a long story short: "Lu Yang is gone, the show will not continue to shoot." I will edit the finished part of this episode and make a special program in memory of Lu Yang.

"I don't have the energy or the mood to plan a new show. I'm sorry this is where we all end up. In addition to the legal compensation, the company will compensate you with an additional month's salary. Official notice will be given when you get back, but you can start sending out your resumes now.

"Thank you very much for your support of the company. The mountains are high and the waters are long. We will see each other again."

With these words I sat down in silence.

Most of the staff were very sensible, comforted me with a few words like "I'm sorry for my loss", and then stopped saying anything.

But there are also unreasoning, such as Jiang Yingying.

She said: "Sister-in-law, Brother Lu is gone, everyone is very sad, but the show is Brother Lu's painstaking effort, you can not say no to stop shooting ah."

I looked at her coldly, without saying a word, until she was restless and nervous.

Then, I said calmly, "I don't care about the luxury goods Lu Yang gave you, such as bags, jewelry and clothes." But please leave this place now, and do not appear before me again."

Jiang Yingying was shocked: "Sister-in-law, I am not... You misunderstand, I and Brother Lu have not......"

I asked, "What did I misunderstand about you? You sent those intimate photos with Lu Yang in the circle of friends, isn't it just for me to see? You called him in the middle of the night and put lipstick in his coat pocket for me to see, didn't you want to tell me?"

Jiang Yingying was asked by me pale, cowardly, unable to speak.

I said: "Lu and Yang are gone, what do you want?"

In other people's contemptuous eyes and pointed comments, Jiang Yingying fled.

I slowly rearranged my clothes and said, "Today's order has been bought, you all eat, as a farewell party." I'll just go."

In the afternoon, Assistant Zhang accompanied me to the funeral home to pick up the ashes and took the boat out of the sea.

The boat was out on the open water, with an endless blue sky overhead and an equally endless deep blue sea beneath. The scene was as beautiful as a dream.

I took out the urn, opened it, and dumped it into the sea.

Underwater, a large group of silvery fish, attracted by the ashes, circled around.

Look, Lu Yang this person is no matter how slag and bad, the fish always do not dislike him.

Assistant Zhang stared at me for a long time, he wanted to say something several times, but always wanted to speak, at this time, he finally made up his mind.

He said, "Actually, Brother Lu doesn't like the sea. He told me that he found the sea so wide and vast that it made him feel ridiculously small. He said he would prefer to live in the city all the time, far from the sea."

I smiled. "I know. He told me that too."

As he looked shocked, I continued, "But I love the sea."

The next day, Assistant Zhang went home with the other employees.

And I stayed in the Maldives for less than half a month, and after playing enough, I took a plane back to the country.

I was packing my bags when Chen Fengjuan came to me.

The apartment I am living in now is a spacious big house, which I rent with Lu Yang. Now that I live there, it's too empty. I've already agreed with the landlord to cancel the rent, and I've chosen a two-bedroom. Now it's time to pack.

There are a lot of things at home, I packed a bag, intend to donate to charity.

When Chen Fengjuan saw me packing my luggage, a strange look flashed across her face, not surprised, but like pride.

I ignored her and waited quietly for her to speak.

Chen Fengjuan said: "Where is Lu Yang recently? Why don't you answer your phone?"

I said, "Dead."

Chen Fengjuan was not angry, and laughed mockingly: "I have always disliked you and Yangyang." You might as well get a divorce now. You are still young, so let's go quickly, and we won't delay you, so let's go together."

I understand. Lu Yang must have shown her the divorce agreement.

I rummaged in my bag and didn't answer.

hen Fengjuan leisurely sighed: "Xiao Lin, it's really not me to say you, you said that you are hot and furious all day, running around, how do you have a wife." You're not gentle and caring, and it's not my fault my son doesn't like you."

I finally found the death certificate and handed it to her.

I said: "Lu Yang is really dead, do not believe you see."

Chen Fengjuan's face is very ugly: "Xiao Lin, I know you have resentment in your heart, but you shouldn't curse my family so Yangyang."

I sighed and turned on the TV in the living room.

I said, "If you don't believe me, see for yourself."

I connected my phone to the TV screen and showed a video to Chen Fengjuan.

It is a "memorial program" edited from the video I shot before Lu Yang's death. This is a video I haven't released yet, so this is a good time.

Chen Fengjuan looked at the TV screen, her face changed rapidly.

Soon, the video was broadcast to Lu Yang and Jiang Yingying live on the boat, the two of them sitting together warm and cuddly, Jiang Yingying smiling broadly to introduce the Maldives coral reef to the audience, Lu Yang while making jokes. He quickly put on his wetsuit, hoisted his oxygen tank on his back and, without looking, blew a kiss to the camera and then flipped into the water.

In the next shot, Lu Yang floats motionless in the clear blue water.

Chen Fengjuan turned to look at me, her face fierce, her eyes staring big.

"Is it you?" she asked. Did you kill my family?"

I said, "I didn't go to the Maldives at all. As you can see, Jiang Yingying was with Lu Yang when he had an accident. Besides, I accompanied Lu Yang on so many dives and never had any accidents."

On the TV screen, we've got the employee interview. Jiang Yingying cried to the camera to miss the advantages of Luyang.

Chen Fengjuan pointed to the screen Jiang Yingying that delicate and pitiful face, gritted her teeth and asked: "She is Jiang Yingying?"

I nodded.

Chan Fengjuan turned her head and strode away.

Chen Fengjuan nature is not let go of Jiang Yingying.

I heard that she kept at the door of Jiang Yingying's home for several days, asking why she wanted to murder Lu Yang, the Jiang Yingying scared.

Jiang Yingying hid for a few days, but finally can not hide. Wherever she went, Chen Fengjuan followed her, chasing her like a devil. Jiang Yingying really can not bear, simply quit the apartment, went back home.

Shortly after this, I received a text message: Chen Fengjuan wanted to talk to me.

It is not good to come.

I made an appointment with a lawyer, and we went to Chen Fengjuan's home.

Chen Fengjuan lives in a new apartment in the center of the city, which she bought only six months ago. The house has three bedrooms and two living rooms, and the down payment alone is several million. The house is in the name of Chen Fengjuan, but the loan has always been Lu Yang in return.

Now that Lu Yang is gone, of course she has to worry.

I knocked on the door, and in addition to Chen Fengjuan, there was a strange woman and a small baby I had never seen before.

The woman introduced herself and said that her name was Yang Li, Lu Yang's ex-girlfriend, and the child was her and Lu Yang's, called Lu Lele.

I was unmoved, but the lawyer beside me was visibly nervous.

I didn't pay him good money to watch it happen.

Sure enough, the lawyer said, "Hello, I am Ms. Lin's lawyer, Zhang Wei." Ms. Lin has entrusted me with full authority to act for her in the settlement of Mr. Lu Yang's estate."

The lawyer very professionally took out a thick pile of documents from his bag: "Mr. Lu Yang's estate has been liquidated, because he did not make a will, according to the inheritance law, the estate should be shared by his mother Ms. Chen and his wife Ms. Lin, half of each."

Chen Fengjuan immediately interrupted him: "Lele is Lu Yang's own son, the inheritance should be left to him!"

The lawyer spoke in a businesslike tone: "Since you claim so, there must be a paternity test certificate as the basis?"

Chen Fengjuan froze. Yang Li took the initiative to open her mouth: "I am willing to take Lele to do a paternity test, but Lu Yang he..."

The lawyer said: "So, there is no."

Yang Li was anxious: "Lele can do it!"

I have been silent finally said: "can't do."

Chen Fengjuan glared at me: "What do you mean?"

I coldly said: "Lu Yang has been cremated, the ashes are thrown into the sea to feed the fish, I have never heard of fish paternity test."

Chen Fengjuan's face was very ugly, but in front of the lawyer, she did not say anything harsh.

Yang Li said: "Lele and mother can do paternity test, if it proves that Lele is mother's grandson, then naturally Lu Yang's son."

Lawyer: "I'm sorry, the method you said is not legally recognized."

Finally, Chen Fengjuan could not resist Shouting: "Lin Wan! You lost star! You killed my son, and now you want to take his money!"

The lawyer smiled: "Ms. Chen, Ms. Lin is Mr. Lu's wife, according to the law, the inheritance should be divided equally between her and you."

Chen Fengjuan scolded: "Lu Yang has long wanted to divorce you!" You're putting it off! It's your bitch's fault!"

I did not say a word, but the lawyer spoke again: "Ms. Chen, we have drawn up a document of estate distribution." If you are willing to sign and accept, we can give you 50% of your inheritance right now."

Chen Fengjuan stared at both of us viciously and said nothing for a long time.

I said, "Your mortgage on this house is more than 20,000 yuan a month?" Luyang paid it for you in the past. Now don't forget to pay it yourself, or the bank will take the house back."

Chen Fengjuan's face was a little more ugly.

I said, "I'm here today with the money, you sign now, you get the money." Otherwise, go to court and Sue me!"

I turned to the lawyer and said, "You wait here for another ten minutes, or they'll sign."

With that, I got up and left.

I waited downstairs at Chen Fengjuan's house for less than five minutes when the lawyer came down. He told me that Chen Fengjuan signed it.

The lawyer said, "Miss Lin, let me buy you a cup of coffee."

I thought for a moment and replied, "OK."

At the cafe, I ordered a cappuccino with double the sugar and double the milk, and it was cloyingly sweet.

Zhang Wei, a lawyer, sat across the table and ordered a cup of black coffee.

I said, "If you want to ask me anything, ask me."

He nodded and said, "You didn't seem surprised when you saw Yang Li and Lele. Did you already know they existed?"

I looked at him, neither confirming nor denying it.

He continued: "You seem to have expected them to come and fight over the legacy. Therefore, after Mr. Lu Yang died in the Maldives, you directly cremated him and buried him at sea, without bringing his body back to China, cutting off Yang Li's opportunity to conduct a paternity test."

I asked, "What are you trying to say?"

"I want to say, Ms. Lin, you are too calm, not sad at all, not like a widow who has just lost her husband," he said.

I said, "There are many forms of grief, Mr. Zhang."

He looked at me steadily and asked, "Are you sad, Ms. Lin?"

I said, "Of course."

He said, "I don't believe you."

I laughed. I said, "What is a widow who has lost her husband? Have you seen it?"

He froze. After a long time, he spoke again: "Mr. Lu's death, is it really an accident?"

I said, "He's in the Maldives and I'm in China, so if it wasn't an accident, what was it?"

He stopped talking.

By the end of the day, I had settled my legal fees and had no further contact with him.

About a year ago, Lu Yang and I recorded the diving program.

It was Luyang's first dive, and I practiced with him for several days before the show was officially recorded. I've always loved the sea, so I got my diver's certificate during my freshman vacation. I taught Lu Yang to dive hand in hand, and also told him to check his oxygen tank before going into the water.

He smiled and said, "You checked everything!"

When that episode aired, the initial response was not overwhelming. I still remember that the show suddenly exploded in the night of the third day after the broadcast, I just boarded the account, and was shocked by countless forwarding comments, and the video was suddenly pushed to the platform's home page, and the fans increased by tens of thousands.

I was so excited that my hands were shaking, and I quickly called Lu Yang to come and see, and no one should answer for a few times, and I called him again, and the line was busy.

His coat's still on the hanger. I don't think he got far.

I excitedly looked for him everywhere, only to find him on the phone in the stairwell.

"I also want to see the baby, really, this is not Lin Wan staring, can not go away." 'he said.

My hand to push open the door stopped.

"What about Yang Li? You tell her not to worry, when I make money, I will divorce Lin Wan and marry her."

"Where do I have money now? It's not that I don't want to give you money, Mom, that's all I make, and Lin Wan is holding it in his hands."

"All right, I'll go see the baby in a couple of days."

Seeing that his call was finished and he was about to come out, I turned and ran. I ran to the bathroom, locked the door and covered my mouth.

Later, I bought a GPS online, secretly put it in the car, and found Yang Li's address.

One weekend, I sneaked into the neighborhood wearing a wig and a mask. I hid in the gazebo in the courtyard, and it wasn't long before I saw Chen Fengjuan walking with a baby stroller, accompanied by a young woman.

Duomohe and Mei Mei a family of three.

In the past few years of marriage, I have not mentioned to Lu Yang about having a child.

He always said that there was no time, he always said that the most important thing for us now is to make money, and only when we earn money can we consider having children.

At that moment, I finally had an Epiphany.

Luyang and I were together, from the beginning to the end, for the money.

10

Soon after that, I proposed to Lu Yang to do a diving show.

After all, it was his diving videos that made him famous, so there's nothing wrong with continuing to do diving shows.

Lu Yang did not like the sea, but for the money, he agreed.

Since then, we've traveled to famous dive sites around the world, and at each one, I've prepared his wetsuit and oxygen tank. I do all the work, and he doesn't have to worry about anything, he doesn't have to do anything, he just suits up and gets in the water.

We made a lot of money, and he offered to buy his mother a house in the city for her retirement, and I agreed.

I even encouraged him to buy a bigger one, since the loan would be repaid later.

I deliberately arranged a lot of work for myself, and every time Lu Yang asked me, I would excuse myself for being busy. Sure enough, he soon grew colder and colder towards me.

I deliberately recruited Jiang Yingying into the company.

I waited in silence like a patient fisherman.

Until the day the fish bite.

Lu Yang took Jiang Yingying and other company employees to the Maldives, and I did not follow.

I didn't get him a wet suit or an oxygen tank.

He forgot to check it, because he never checked it himself.

He is such a careless person, and who can blame him?

11

Later, I moved to the beach.

I started a new company that offers diving Tours and also teaches diving to students.

I've always loved the sea.

The sea will always be there, whether you love it or hate it, it doesn't care.
