Chapter 325 Liu Ruyan Wants to Convert to Buddhism
"master……"
Liu Ruyan suddenly looked up, her face already streaked with tears.
"I……"
"I really can't forget him."
"I've been with him for seven years, seven years."
"He was so good to me, so good that I took it all for granted."
"I thought he would always be good to me, good to me for the rest of his life."
"But I..."
At this point, Liu Ruyan's voice choked with emotion, and she could no longer continue.
Seeing this scene.
Liu's mother was heartbroken and burst into tears, and quickly reached out to hug her daughter.
"Ruyan, stop talking, please stop talking..."
"Those are all in the past..."
"Your mom and dad have never blamed you..."
Liu Ruyan gently shook her head and pushed her mother's hand away.
"Mom, let me finish."
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face.
"mom……"
"actually……"
"I already noticed."
Her voice was soft and hoarse, as if she were talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
"Fuyao and Lu Chuan..."
"They should be together now."
"They are very close."
"He always brings Fuyao back."
"Whenever I can't find him, I can find him through Fuyao."
"At first I thought it was just a coincidence."
I thought Fuyao was just feeling sorry for me, her older sister, and was helping me find him.
Liu Ruyan paused, instinctively closing her eyes, but tears welled up again.
"But later I noticed the way Fuyao looked at him..."
"The same way I looked at him back then."
"That look in your eyes doesn't lie."
For an instant.
Mr. and Mrs. Liu were completely stunned.
What?
His own second daughter, and his former son-in-law...
Are they together?
How come they didn't know?
"Ruyan, you..."
"Are you telling the truth?"
Mr. Liu was utterly shocked, his voice trembling.
Liu Ruyan did not answer directly, but continued speaking.
The voice was eerily calm.
She didn't cry.
There was no commotion.
But this calmness sent a shiver down one's spine.
"Um……"
"Actually, I'm not in a position to say anything."
"I'm divorced from him, mainly because of me. I have nothing to do with Lu Chuan anymore."
"It's normal for Fuyao to be with him."
"I just..."
"It's just... I just can't accept it."
She raised her head, looking at the benevolent-looking Bodhisattva statue in the main hall, as if murmuring to herself, or perhaps trying to persuade herself once again.
"I don't blame Fuyao, nor do I blame him."
"It's all my fault for not cherishing it enough."
"It's just that Lu Chuan is really good, so good that..."
This time, his voice choked with emotion, and finally a slight tremor of emotion appeared.
"He's so good that both my sister and I like him and love him."
"I know that I can't ask for anything right now, nor do I have the right to demand anything."
"I just really don't know what to do."
"Dad, Mom, I don't know how to face them in the future, I don't know how to face the days ahead."
"Bang."
The words fell.
Liu Ruyan knelt heavily on the prayer mat again, her hands clasped together, her forehead pressed against the cold ground, her voice weak and strained.
"Please pray to Bodhisattva..."
"Help me."
Swish.
Inside the main hall.
A silence.
Only the low sobs of Liu's mother, which she could no longer suppress, and the hissing sound of the burning incense and candles could be heard.
Liu's father stood to one side.
Hearing this, his face turned ashen, but he couldn't utter a single word.
What does he want to say?
I want to say something negative about Lu Chuan.
I want to say that Fuyao is wrong.
She actually got together with her own brother-in-law?
But when he opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't say anything.
Is Lu Chuan to blame?
They're already divorced and are single.
Strange Fuyao?
That's my daughter too.
Fuyao was different from Ruyan from a young age.
She is more independent and has more ideas than Yan.
Therefore, the elderly couple felt closer to Ruyan.
Moreover, Ruyan herself said that she didn't blame her.
It's all just bad luck.
I can only blame myself for not raising my daughter well.
It's all because...
Hey.
Looking at the diverse faces of the people before him, the old monk couldn't help but put his hands together in prayer and chant a Buddhist mantra.
"Amitabha."
"My friend, letting go is not forgetting, but rather clinging to something no longer."
What you're clinging to is the beauty of the past, the regrets that can't be undone.
"But have you ever thought that those beautiful moments are in the past, and those regrets cannot be changed?"
"The only things you can change are the present and the future."
Liu Ruyan looked up again, her eyes blurry with tears.
"Master, what should I do?"
The old monk smiled slightly.
"I take refuge in the Buddha and cultivate my mind and character."
"Let go of worldly ties and seek liberation."
Liu Ruyan was stunned.
Taking refuge?
lay down?
relief?
Mr. and Mrs. Liu were also stunned, and then their expressions changed drastically.
"No!"
Liu's mother grabbed Liu Ruyan's hand, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
"Ruyan, you cannot become a nun!"
"If you become a monk, what will happen to Mom? What will happen to your dad?"
Father Liu also grew anxious and quickly said,
"Ruyan, listen to your father, come back with me now."
"Let's keep walking, let's travel all over the Federation, and you'll feel better eventually."
"How old are you?"
"You have a long road ahead of you, you can't..."
"Dad, Mom."
But Liu Ruyan suddenly interrupted them, her voice calm.
"I didn't act on impulse."
"I've been thinking a lot lately."
"I've thought about dying, but I know that would make you sad."
"I've thought about starting over, but I can't do it."
"I really can't do it."
Her tears flowed again, but her voice remained calm.
"Meeting a master now might be an arrangement by the Bodhisattva."
I want to give it a try.
"Try to let go..."
"Also try to find liberation."
"Dad, Mom, don't stop me."
Mr. and Mrs. Liu were shocked. They opened their mouths, but couldn't say a word.
Looking into her daughter's calm eyes.
They suddenly realized that they had never really understood their daughter.
She was even more delicate than Fuyao.
But one thing is exactly the same.
That means that once they've decided on something, they will definitely do it.
I will definitely do it.
Just like now.
The old monk clasped his hands together again and chanted Buddhist mantras.
"Amitabha."
"Since you are so determined, this humble monk can accept you as a disciple in name only."
"But it would be better to stay in this temple for a few days first, and if you are determined, then you can go through the ordination ceremony."
Liu Ruyan knelt on the prayer mat, clasped her hands together, and kowtowed devoutly.
"Thank you, Master."
