Chapter 3015: Bitterness has ended, sweetness lies ahead

Hearing An Anxi's sigh, Sun Jie couldn't help but ask with a smile: "And what about Xiao Churan from the Xiao family? What do you think of her?"
"Xiao Churan..." An Chengxi fell silent for a moment, then said seriously, "To some extent, she has been kind to Chen'er. But after four years of marriage, Chen'er and she have not conceived or given birth to any children. Therefore, I speculate that their marriage is superficial and lacks substance. Judging from what Chen'er has done for her, Chen'er should have been completely devoted to her. In such a situation, if their marriage is still superficial, then the problem should lie with Xiao Churan."
Saying that, An Chengxi also said, "She must have her reasons, and I shouldn't make baseless speculations. But does this also indicate from another perspective that she doesn't love Chen'er as much, or perhaps, she doesn't love Chen'er as much as Chen'er loves her?"
Sunjie nodded: "Madam is right, I also think so. If Young Master Chen divorces with Xiaochuran in the future, it should be very good for him regardless of whether he chooses Miss Gu or Miss Ito. It's evident that both these girls love him."
An Chengxi slightly nodded, sighing with a hint of emotion. She said, "Whether he leaves or stays, it's all Cheng'er's own choice. In the past twenty years, I have not fulfilled the duties and obligations of a mother, and now I have no right to meddle in his choice of a partner. I'm merely answering your question, that's all."
Sun nodded in agreement, saying with emotion, "Actually, both Su's Zhiyu and Song's Wanting are exceptional girls, and the Nordic Helena doesn't have any flaws to pick on either. Young Master Chen's popularity with the opposite sex is indeed much better than the average person."
An Chengxi sighed lightly and said, "These girls are indeed rare and good young ladies. I just wonder if the appearance of Chen'er will delay their happiness."
After speaking, An Chengxi continued, "It is said that in 'The Return of the Condor Heroes', Guo Xiang's life was changed when she met Yang Guo at Fengling Ferry. But when I think about it carefully, it's not just Guo Xiang who was affected by Yang Guo. Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang also ended up lonely in their old age. Aren't they also affected by Yang Guo? And there's Gong Sunlü'e who was born and died in the Valley of Absolute Devotion, suffering a miserable death in front of Yang Guo. Although Wan Yanping eventually married someone else and found a home, can we really say that she was happy throughout her life?"
Speaking of this, An Chengxiexi sighed and asked, "By the way, Sister Sun, do you still remember Du Haiqing?"
Sister Sun quickly bowed and said, "Madam, of course I remember. Miss Du from the Du family was infatuated with Lord Changying in the past. In the social circle of Yanjing, it can be said that everyone knows about it..."
An Chengxi's expression was full of regret and sighed: "Thirty years ago, she resembled Guo Xiang. After I married Changying, she married someone else like Wan Yanping. And now, she is living in seclusion in the old house where Changying used to live, just like Cheng Ying. Her life has not been easy, and far from ideal. Fortunately, earlier in the Jinling Forbidden Mountain Tunnel, it was Chen Er who saved her and her daughter. Otherwise, her life would have been too bitter."
Miss Du from the Du family has indeed had a difficult life, as Madam You mentioned," Sun sighed.
However, she seems to have turned the tide and finally found happiness now."
An Chengxi shook his head, his eyes slightly red with a hint of shine, and softly said, "If one deeply loves someone but can never be with them, then in life, there is only the end of suffering, without the arrival of sweetness. The day she bought the old mansion where I and Changying once lived during the auction, should have been the moment when her suffering ended, but even though the suffering has ended, the sweetness never came."
"When Chener sold the old house at the auction, I was also happy for her for a long time. If there is a chance in the future, I even want to visit her in person, shake hands, make peace, and have a long conversation with her..."
Speaking of this, An Chengxi paused for a moment and continued speaking: "I want to tell her that at some point before Chang Yin met me, he was also moved by her years of persistence and infatuation, and once thought about walking through life with her."
"Just as Changyan was about to make a decision, fate made him encounter me. As a result, all his years of effort were thwarted, but she had no idea that she had come so close to the outcome she desired the most."
Sister Sun asked her, "Madam, if that day really comes, would Du Haiqing misunderstand your intentions and think that you are showing off to her or something else?" "I don't think so," An Chengqi said. "I believe she would be relieved and then reconcile with her past self and the Ye Changying who was once indifferent and heartless towards her in her memories. Perhaps we can become good friends, and I can find a courtyard in Jinling to visit her and reminisce as old bosom buddies when I have the leisure."

After speaking, An Chengqi quickly waved his hand and changed the subject, asking, "Has Jingqing arrived?"
Sun Jie hurriedly replied, "He is still on the helicopter, almost there."
During the conversation, the roaring sound of the helicopter engine and the whirring of the rotor could already be heard in the valley.
Sun Jie said, "Madam, Jingqing has arrived."
"Good," An Chengqi nodded, "Tell him to come directly here to see me."
A few minutes later, a helicopter landed in the open space outside the courtyard, and a monk wearing a robe and a kasaya walked towards the entrance of the courtyard.
At that moment, the gate opened, and Sun Jie smiled and said, "Jingqing, Madam has been waiting for you."
This monk is none other than the famous monk Jingqing in recent years.
Ven. Jingqing is not yet fifty years old and has been officially ordained for less than twenty years. However, due to his profound understanding and unique insights into Buddhism, he has already become a highly respected and revered enlightened monk today.
Over the years, he has been spreading the principles of Buddhism everywhere, not seeking any personal gain but hoping to teach people to approach the ups and downs of life with optimism.
He has always paid attention to the group of people suffering from depression, and has made every effort to preach Buddhism to those with depression or tendencies across the country, in exchange for their attachment to the world. Invisibly, he has saved countless lost souls from desperate situations and is truly a great benefactor.
And the reason why he is able to make great progress in Buddhist teachings, apart from his own understanding, is also due to an extremely important reason: to some extent, he can be considered a practitioner.
He can perceive spiritual energy, and can also refine and deepen spiritual energy through the circulation and cultivation of spiritual energy within his own body. However, his talent is lacking. After his enlightenment, all the spiritual energy is within the sea of knowledge, so he does not possess the terrifying strength and exaggerated supernatural powers like Ye Chen. His sea of knowledge has greatly expanded and improved, allowing him to have a deeper understanding and perception when studying Buddhism.
At this moment, the monk Jingqing, with his hands pressed together in front of Sister Sun, said "Amitabha Buddha," and then quickly walked into another courtyard and arrived in front of An Chengxi.
Upon seeing An Chengxi, Monk Jingqing pressed his hands together and bowed respectfully, saying, "Jingqing greets Madam."
An Chengxi earnestly said, "Jingqing, you are now an accomplished monk. There's no need to be so formal and polite in front of me."
Master Jingqing firmly replied, "Madam, Jingqing's profound realization today is all thanks to your guidance back then. Without you, there wouldn't be Jingqing's present state. No matter when, you are second only to the Buddha in Jingqing's heart."
With a smile, An Chengxi nodded and said, "You have your own ideas and persistence, and I won't force you too much."
Speaking again, An Chengxi continued, "Let's get to the point. I invited you here in haste because I heard that you have been preaching Buddhism at Lingyin Temple recently, which happens to be not far from here. So I asked you to come and guide a young girl for me, to help her start her enlightenment."
Monk Jingqing was slightly surprised and subconsciously asked, "Madam, when you mention 'opening enlightenment,' are you referring to the kind of enlightenment you helped Jingqing with back then?"
"Yes!" An Chengxi nodded, "She, like you back then, has the potential to achieve enlightenment through the opening of her sea of consciousness. I want you to tell her everything that I told you back then, without any changes, and help her achieve enlightenment."
Monk Jingqing respectfully replied without hesitation, "Yes, Madam. Jingqing will comply!"
