155 The Last Companion

She looked at Qiu Yan in embarrassment, and Qiu Yan nodded slightly at her.

Cai Yue pursed her lips and took a deep breath. This should be Mrs. Qiu's last wish, such a situation really can't allow her to refuse, let's accept it for the time being, and then she will explain her difficulties to Qiu Guoguang.

So, she respectfully and solemnly took the bracelet with both hands, and bowed deeply to Madame Qiu.

A smile of relief and relief appeared on Mrs. Qiu's face. This smile made Cai Yue feel that she had done the right thing.

In the afternoon, Qiu Guoguang had important matters that had to be handled in person, and he was not in front of the hospital bed. After waking up from a nap, Cai Yue walked to Mrs. Qiu's bed, and found that her spirit seemed to have suddenly improved, and her face was not as yellow and dark as a few days ago.

Qiu Yan has not been resting well in the past few days, and is still resting on the sofa in the living room outside the ward.

"You sit!" Mrs. Qiu, who had been unable to speak, was able to speak, although her voice was very hoarse.

Cai Yue was so excited that she wanted to wake up Qiu Yan, but Mrs. Qiu immediately stopped her, "I have a few important words to tell you." ”

Cai Yue's mind suddenly appeared four words: Back to the light! She immediately sat down obediently.

Mrs. Qiu had two large pillows behind her, which she had rarely seen in the past few days. She spread out her palm towards Cai Yue, and Cai Yue hurriedly held Mrs. Qiu's hand.

Although Mrs. Qiu was so tormented by cancer that she had no beauty at all, the gentleness and kindness in her eyes made her face still look beautiful.

"Xiao Yan is a very thoughtful person. He likes to carry everything by himself, and he doesn't like to tell people. I can see that you are also a delicate child, and I am relieved to have you with him!"

Although Mrs. Qiu was in better spirits, it was still difficult to speak, and after talking to Caiyue for more than ten minutes, she began to wheez, and began to cough violently.

Qiu Yan slept lightly, heard a cough, and soon woke up. He immediately walked briskly from the couch into the hospital room. Seeing that his mother was sitting, he was as excited as Caiyue at first, and then soon gloomy.

Sure enough, Mrs. Qiu's good spirit only lasted less than two hours, and the heartbeat monitor suddenly issued a faint warning sound, and Cai Yue hurriedly called a doctor.

In less than a minute, doctors and nurses arrived. Qiu Yan and Caiyue were asked to wait outside the ward. This is the second time this has happened to Mrs. Qiu in the past few days.

Caiyue held Qiu Yan's hand tightly, and she felt him tremble.

In less than ten minutes, the doctor walked out of the room and said to the two men in English, "Please say a final goodbye to the patient." ”

Hearing this, Cai Yue felt Qiu Yan's hand squeeze her hand hard, as if she wanted to grasp something with all her might. Xue Yong immediately called Qiu Guoguang. Qiu Yan took Caiyue and walked into the ward again.

Madame Qiu's face looked visibly stiff and tense. She couldn't even make a "uh-huh" sound, she just watched her beloved son cry continuously.

Qiu Yan knelt in front of the hospital bed on both knees, clasped his mother's hand with both hands, pressed against his face, and wept the same, unable to say a word.

Cai Yue knelt in front of the hospital bed with Qiu Yan. She couldn't stand the last parting image, she lowered her head and covered her mouth tightly, her face twisted to the other side, and tears kept falling.

This scene lasted for a few minutes, and Caiyue heard Qiu Yan's choked voice calling her name.

She quickly turned her head and looked at Mrs. Qiu.

With the last of her strength, Mrs. Qiu grabbed one of Caiyue's hands and put it on the back of Qiu Yan's hand, looking at her with earnest prayer and tears, as if to say to her: "I handed over my favorite only son to you." Please, be sure to take care of him. ”

Caiyue made a promise to Mrs. Qiu with tears: "Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely love Qiu Yan and take care of Qiu Yan like you." ”

The corners of Madame Qiu's mouth tried to curl up for the last time, and when she was halfway there, she closed her eyes with tears.

Qiu Yan buried his face in his mother's palm, and his back trembled. At such a moment, no matter how strong and cold he was, he could no longer hold back the intense pain in his heart.

Doctors and nurses rushed over to make a final inspection, and no amount of good medical skills could be restored. The attending doctor pulled the quilt over Mrs. Qiu's face. Then, all the medical staff stood silently, reverently crossed on their chests, and said blessings in their mouths.

Qiu Guoguang hurried to hurry, but still didn't catch up to see his wife for the last time. No one knows exactly when the person they love the most will leave them.

Caiyue saw Qiu Yan, a fragile rock that she had never seen before. He couldn't say a word, just covered his face and was silent.

She had only tasted the pain of losing her mother a few months ago, and she knew what it was like. At the time when she was most vulnerable and needed someone to accompany her, it was Qiu Yan who did everything she could to be by her side.

She was very relieved that she could be by his side when he needed comfort the most, just as Qiu Yan had done to her.

On the night Mrs. Qiu left, Caiyue had insomnia. What kept flashing in front of her eyes was Mrs. Qiu's tearful eyes looking at her, and Xiao Ling's unrelenting eyes that were also looking at her when she died.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, Cai Yue felt that when he saw Qiu Guoguang the next day, he seemed to be ten years old overnight.

Mrs. Qiu's funeral was held two days later.

There is no domestic blowing, blowing and beating, and there is no crying, it is a very quiet and ** funeral. The farewell ceremony was held in the church, with the choir singing hymns and the priest reciting blessing prayers.

The cemetery is a place with beautiful scenery and elegant environment not far from Qiu's manor. It's about three acres in size, including a small mountain forest around it. This is where the Qiu family specially bought it and used it as a special cemetery for the family. Here, Qiu Yan's grandfather and grandmother have been laid to rest.

The funeral of the Qiu family was solemn.

Cai Yue roughly calculated, I am afraid that there are no less than four or five hundred people who came to the funeral, all of them are dressed in black and a black team. The cars these people drove outside the cemetery one after another, and there was no end in sight when they were discharged, and they were all kinds of luxury cars.

Many media and reporters gathered outside the cemetery, and camera flashes constantly captured the protocols present. At least five OB vans were used to broadcast the funeral live.

Although there are not many people who usually come and go, at the funeral, whether it is distant or close relatives, most of them still come.

Although Qiu Yan's bloodline is not completely pure Chinese, in Caiyue's mind, he has always been regarded as Chinese. So now, when looking at these Qiu relatives with high noses and white skin, blonde hair, brown hair, and even blue eyes, Cai Yue really couldn't react.

Fortunately, the relationship and interaction between people here is not like in China, and as soon as they meet, they have to be called by three aunts and six mothers-in-law, which saves her a lot of headaches and discomfort.

However, after the funeral, when she was idle, she checked the Internet one by one according to the funeral protocol list, and after checking it, she wiped the sweat from her head.

Among the Qiu family's large number of various blood relatives and in-laws, there are all those who open banks, engage in media, run law firms, and open hospitals, and there is also a movie star who is as popular as the sky, and is on the way to become a quasi-relative of the Qiu family. In addition, there are two ambassadors abroad, one is a former lieutenant governor and, more terrifyingly, the other is the incumbent Minister of Commerce and the incumbent governor.

Before Cai Yue, he only knew that Qiu Yan's maternal great-grandfather had been the speaker of the House of Representatives. It is no wonder that the Qiu family has only developed here for three generations, and Jury International has become a world-famous group company. It's really deep roots to be leafy!

On the evening of the funeral, Qiu Guoguang specially left a family to eat in the manor.

This is a distant in-law of the Qiu family. Father, mother, and a son and a daughter. The son is about the same age as Qiu Yan, in his early thirties. The daughter looks like she should be about twenty-five years old, and she has the same name as Hollywood star Hepburn, called Audrey.

Audrey is blonde and blue-eyed, and she is the kind of breathtaking beauty with an aristocratic atmosphere. When Cai Yue saw Wu Yinqiao before, she already thought that it was a rare beauty, but when she saw this blonde beauty, Cai Yue sighed that there is no beauty in this world, only more beautiful.

Just by looking at the family's clothes and conversation, you can see that they are a respected family in the local area. During the conversation, it was learned that the other party's finance and industry are developed at the same time, and it is indeed supported by a super strong family background.

Qiu Guoguang hinted more than once during and after the meal that he hoped that Qiu Yan could do his landlord's friendship and take the brother and sister for a walk in the manor.

Qiu Yan pulled Caiyue and took the brother and sister to visit the manor. Caiyue could feel that Audrey's gaze at Qiu Yan was strangely hot.

Born and raised in this area, Qiu still follows many Chinese traditions, but by the time Qiu Yan's generation came, he had largely embraced the culture, including his beliefs. He believed that his mother had not disappeared, but that she had just gone to another more beautiful world, which was called "Heaven".

Therefore, Qiu Yan's helplessness and pain when he just lost his mother have healed a few days later. It's just that, on every quiet night, Caiyue will hear Qiu Yan playing the violin in the room, and the repertoire will constantly change, but every day there will be the same tune, which is "The Song My Mother Taught Me" by Jenny OaksBaker.

Since coming here, she has accompanied Qiu Yan to Mrs. Qiu's hospital bed every day. It wasn't until Mrs. Qiu's death that she had the time and opportunity to visit the Qiu family's manor during the day.

The estate covers about thirty acres, which is the size of nearly twenty standard football fields. In addition to this magnificent residential building, the estate has its own horse farm, garden, vegetable patch, breeding farm, woods, etc., as well as a small artificial lake. According to Qiu Yan, there are fish in it, and when Qiu Guoguang is free, he likes to sit by the lake and fish.
