184. I don't even know if I'll be able to hold on

When I led them back, I actually ran up and down in my heart, and when I ran to the corridor, I saw Lu Xudong standing at the door of the room where the body was parked, and there was no mother-in-law next to him.

My heart tightened, and I ran over at a faster speed, panting and stopping in front of him: "Why are you standing here, Mom?"

Lu Xudong was standing there leaning against the wall, he was originally lowering his head and didn't know what he was thinking, but I was stunned for a moment when I suddenly asked, and before he could speak, I heard a suppressed cry faintly coming out of the room.

So the mother-in-law is in there, she's okay?

I asked Lu Xudong with my eyes, he seemed to understand what I meant, pursed his lips and nodded at me, and then looked behind me at the doctors and nurses who were trotting behind me, then stood up straight, and said politely: "It's hard work, but my mother woke up again just now, and it seems that her blood pressure has dropped again." ”

I watched in amazement as he opened his eyes to the doctors and nurses and said nonsense, and when he fooled them away, I asked him blankly, "How do you know that I lied to them that my mother fainted?"

Lu Xudong didn't answer me, just smiled at me with the corners of his mouth raised, reached out and rubbed my hair, and then looked at the door of the room very worriedly.

We waited for about another twenty minutes before my mother-in-law opened the door and walked out. Her eyes and nose were red, but the expression on her face was very calm.

I was actually quite surprised to see my mother-in-law like this.

Lu Yanxi went to the hospital twice, and her mother-in-law fainted once and almost half fainted again, but this time her father-in-law had an accident, she behaved so calmly, even calmer than when she heard Guo Yuqing say those things at home just now, it was really surprising.

Lu Xudong obviously had the same idea as me, so when his mother-in-law asked him to call Lu Yanxi over in a hoarse voice, he cautiously asked her while agreeing, "Are you okay?" Do you want the nurse to come over and help take your blood pressure?"

"I'm fine!" The mother-in-law looked calm, and the whole person looked extremely calm: "Don't worry, if I am uncomfortable, I will definitely say it, you can call and let me sit by myself for a while." ”

Lu Xudong helped her to sit down on the chair, looked at me deeply, and then stepped aside to make a phone call.

I stood not far away from my mother-in-law, staring at her intently, for fear that she was being reckless.

The mother-in-law sat there quietly, staring at the opposite wall with a gloomy expression, and did not move again for a long time.

I really can't describe how I felt at that time, I just felt very depressed, my heart was sullen, and somehow, I suddenly thought of my mother, when my father was gone, was she also like this?

No one could have imagined that Lu Yanxi would refuse to come to the hospital to see her father for the last time.

When Lu Xudong ended the phone call and told me the news with a hesitant expression, I was so shocked that my jaw almost dropped, and I asked him with round eyes, "Why?" Is it because I didn't tell her the truth just now?

Lu Xudong pulled his lips helplessly, revealing a wry smile: "She said she is not free now!" After speaking, he glanced at his mother-in-law with a melancholy expression, and then walked towards her with heavy steps.

I'm almost speechless, my father is dead, what could be more important than coming to say his final goodbye? Not to mention this, she should be sleeping when she returns home after sending us off, right?

Thinking of the uneasiness in my heart before she left the hospital, I always had a bad premonition, but just now Lu Xudong said that she had arrived home, and after talking to her on the phone, I specially called Wu's mother to confirm, and I thought that I might be too careful.

The mother-in-law was also a little surprised after hearing Lu Xudong's relay, but she didn't seem to care too much: "Whatever she is, she's just like that ghost these days...... By the way, has the funeral home been contacted? I have to ask someone to prepare the things that need to be prepared quickly......

The mother-in-law babbled on and on many things, including what to prepare, which relatives and friends to notify after dawn, etc., and she kept explaining things intermittently until the sky was slightly bright, and then she closed her eyes and rested for a while.

As soon as the morning dawned, the funeral home came to transport the body, because Lu Xudong had arrangements and preparations overnight, so the mourning hall was quickly set up.

It didn't take long for relatives and friends who received the news to come to condole, and several relatives and friends have been surrounding her mother-in-law to say some words of condolence, she maintained her usual elegant and decent state to thank her one by one, her expression was solemn and peaceful, and she looked very calm.

Lu Xudong and I both breathed a sigh of relief, and even Wu's mother quietly sighed to me: "I didn't expect my wife to be able to hold on, I was worried from the moment I knew the news, for fear that she would not be too excited, and her blood pressure rose sharply." ”

After she said this, she sighed heavily: "It's been a ...... lately Alas!"

I know she wants to say that the Lu family has been really unlucky one after another recently, and the further down it goes, the worse it gets. I sighed with her, looked at the posthumous photo of my father-in-law hanging in the middle of the mourning hall, and recalled that I had married Lu Xudong for nearly a year, and I actually had an illusion that I was in a different world.

Lu Yanxi never appeared, and even did not attend the farewell ceremony and memorial service of the body.

Wu's mother said that after she went home that night, she went to her father-in-law's study for a long time, and then kept herself in the room, also because Lu Yanxi was at home, her mother-in-law was not at ease, and kept telling Wu's mother to guard her at home.

My mother and sister-in-law have been here a few times, and my mother looked at my mother-in-law's appearance, and privately pulled me with red eyes and choked for a long time, and then told me to comfort and accommodate my mother-in-law at this time, saying that she has no wife at this age, and her heart is bitter, and it is not easy.

At that moment, I looked at my mother, not to mention how uncomfortable it was, so I couldn't help but hug her and say "I'm sorry", and then tears welled up.

Zhang Ruiran should have gotten the news from my mother, made two condolence calls to me, and asked someone to send a wreath over, I was surprised and a little moved, and my impression of him was much better.

But what surprised me even more was that Jiang Junxiu actually asked someone to send a wreath over, but the signature prefix on the couplet was written as a nephew.

When his wreath was delivered, Lu Xudong frowned at the couplet, I almost thought he would ask someone to take it out and throw it away, but he just quietly asked people to put it in the corner.

But what surprised me the most was that Guo Yuqing actually dared to come.

When she arrived, I happened to be answering Ye Shengyin's call, she had to guard her grandmother, and she was afraid of Lu Yanxi's affairs, so she didn't dare to come over, and she didn't even dare to send wreaths or anything, so she could only call me every day and explain me.

As soon as I saw Guo Yuqing, I hurriedly told Ye Shengyin that I had something to do, and after hanging up the phone, I subconsciously turned my head to search for my mother-in-law and Lu Xudong, and walked towards Guo Yuqing, trying to drive her out before they found out.

At that time, it was very late, and most of the guests who came to mourn had already left, only a few people who were relatively close to each other remained, and I easily saw Lu Xudong who was discussing something with the people in the funeral home, and the mother-in-law next to him, only to find that the mother-in-law had also seen Guo Yuqing, she was staring at her from a distance, seemingly calm, but the resentment in her eyes was so strong that even I felt it.

I stopped Guo Yuqing and said coldly: "What are you doing here? You are not welcome here, please go out!"

"The funeral parlor is not run by your family, what qualifications do you have to drive me away?" she didn't even look at me, and slammed my outstretched arm away and walked straight to the middle of the mourning hall.

After all, there were outsiders, and I didn't dare to make too much trouble on this occasion, so I could only follow her quickly and ask her in a low voice: "What else do you want to do?"

"Can you handle it?" Guo Yuqing finally turned her head coldly and glanced at me, her eyes full of disgust and disdain.

The mother-in-law had already walked over from the place just now, she stopped in front of Guo Yuqing, and the mask of calmness that she had concealed for several days seemed to be torn apart all of a sudden, and shouted at Guo Yuqing emotionally: "What do you want to do again? Why do you still have the face? Get out of here, you are not welcome here!"

Guo Yuqing glanced at her mother-in-law with a detached expression, and then her eyes fell on the posthumous photo behind her, a look of pain flashed in her eyes, but a slightly mocking smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "What? The funeral home was bought by your family? This kind of place is supposed to be a place where everyone has the right to come and go, why did you drive me away?"

"You ......" The mother-in-law was so angry that her whole body was trembling, and she grabbed a cup on the table next to her and threw it at her.

Guo Yuqing didn't dodge either, letting the muffled sound of the cup smashing on her shoulder, and then fell to the ground and shattered.

Such a big movement naturally attracted a lot of attention, although the people present were basically close people, but such a scene was not good-looking after all, not to mention that this was just the beginning.

When I was helpless, Lu Xudong had already walked over quickly, grabbed Guo Yuqing, and pulled him outside by the arm.

My heart tightened, seeing that a few relatives had already gone over to comfort my mother-in-law, I was really worried that Lu Xudong would lose control of his emotions, so I hurriedly trotted out.

Lu Xudong pulled Guo Yuqing out of the door, then pushed hard against the wall, and said in a cold voice: "What else do you want to do? You have already killed my father, do you want to hurt my mother to make you happy, don't you? I warn you, you had better stay away from my mother, don't recruit her again, otherwise I won't let you go!" Guo Yuqing showed a strange smile at him: " You guys are really strange, they all ask me what I want to do, of course I came here to mourn my godfather, he died, shouldn't I, the goddaughter, come to give him incense?"

The tone in which she called her godfather was still as cute as ever, not to mention how ironic it sounded.

Lu Xudong was provoked by her, reached out and grabbed her neck, gritted his teeth and roared: "You still have the face to call him godfather, are you worthy?"

Because of the lack of oxygen, Guo Yuqing's face turned red, but she didn't struggle at all, she just widened her eyes and smiled hard at Lu Xudong, and squeezed out a few words from her throat with great difficulty: "Then you...... Only...... Worthy of calling him...... Father...... Dad?"

I looked at the sharp beating green tendons on Lu Xudong's forehead, for fear that he would strangle her to death by mistake when he was excited, so I hurriedly stepped forward to grab him: "You calm down, there's no need to worry about a madman......

"Don't care!" Lu Xudong waved my hand away, but finally let go of Guo Yuqing's neck, grabbed her arm instead, and pulled her to the door of the mourning hall vigorously, letting her face face the posthumous photo on the desk inside, gritting her teeth and saying: "You can see clearly, the man inside has raised you for nearly twenty years, and his favor for you even exceeds that of me and my sister, and now that he is dead, dead in your hands, are you worthy of his conscience?" Guo Yuqing, I never thought that your heart was so vicious, obviously you don't love me at all, but because I don't want to marry you, do you have a heart?"

"I only know that I'm sorry for myself, I let him die so happily! That's why you think I'm vicious, so why don't you say that I've been ruined by him for the rest of my life?" Guo Yuqing's expression was very hideous, and her eyes stared straight at Lu Xudong, probably because she was too emotional, her whole body trembled slightly.

Lu Xudong probably didn't expect her to say such a thing, and let go of her in a trance: "What do you mean?"

Guo Yuqing smiled casually, glanced at me again, and then said to him: "It seems that no one dares to tell you what happened, you don't know all along, right? The first thing I did after I went abroad was to have an abortion, and that child is very likely to be your father's!"

Lu Xudong was shocked by what she said, and looked at her in astonishment, but she suddenly burst into tears: "Yes, I don't love you, but it was you who said that if I got married, you would marry me! The person I wanted to marry the most was married, so I was completely dead and decided to go back to China to marry you, but what about you? You found such a woman to use as an excuse to prevaricate me, and in the end you even pretended to do it with her!"

"Why did you hurt me, but you can enjoy a peaceful life so peacefully?" Guo Yuqing glared at me and Lu Xudong, took a deep breath, wiped the tears on his face, glanced at the posthumous photo in the middle of the mourning hall, and said in a very hateful tone: "Do you think I want him to die? I don't want him to die at all, he should live, live to see how I destroy the country he fought little by little, and live in pain!"

After saying this, she hurriedly turned around and left, and when she went down the steps, she was in such a hurry that she almost fell.

I watched her figure gradually disappear, and then looked at Lu Xudong, who was standing motionless and silent with a gloomy face, and hesitated for a while before saying: "I knew about what she said that night, but my mother told me to hide it from you, and I don't want to make you more troubled, after all, those are just her words, so I didn't tell you, I hope you don't blame me......"

"How can I blame you?" Lu Xudong looked thoughtfully at the inside of the mourning hall, and said in a low voice for a long time: "I believe in him! Although he is arbitrary and domineering many times, he is definitely a good father, and he has such a good relationship with his mother, he can't ...... it."

He paused, frowned again, and said to himself: "It's Xiaoqing who is angry and talking nonsense, it must be like this!"

When I saw him like this, of course, I didn't dare to say anything more, but I just walked over and held his hand, and comforted him very gently: "You calm down, Mom is still inside, you also know that Guo Yuqing is like a madman now, so why should you be more serious with her words?"

"Hmm!" he smiled at me reluctantly, took a few more deep breaths, and then turned back to the mourning hall.

On the day of the cremation of the body, Lu Xudong even deliberately took the time to go back to the old house, but he still did not say that Lu Yanxi would come over to see his father-in-law on his last journey.

I saw that his face was so angry that his face turned blue, and because he didn't want to trouble his mother-in-law anymore, he always endured it, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

Fortunately, the mother-in-law seemed to have expected that Lu Yanxi would refuse to come, but she didn't do much.

It's just that when I went to the bathroom, I vaguely heard someone discussing: "Why didn't you see the eldest daughter of the Lu family?" Another voice followed up: "I heard that I got a divorce and suffered from depression, and the little girl who was fostered by the Guo family before, I heard that she also fell out with their family, otherwise there would be a fuss this time!" The voice in front of me sounded again, and he was very emotional when he listened: "It seems that the Lu family can't turn over this time...... Lu Qishan too, I have worked hard for most of my life, but I didn't expect the final ending to be so bleak, I look at Mrs. Lu like that, I really feel pitiful......"

It wasn't until their voices and footsteps faded away that I opened the door from the cubicle, and my head kept spinning around their conversations, although I wanted to comfort myself that there were many people in the world who liked to talk about other people's joys and sorrows, but my heart still couldn't help but hurt badly.

After his father-in-law's funeral, Lu Xudong rushed back to the company on the same day to continue to preside over the overall situation.

He didn't go for a few days, and I knew that he would have to be busy for a long time, so when he looked at me hesitantly, I automatically said to him: "Don't worry, I will stay in the old house to accompany my mother these days, and you should pay attention to yourself, don't worry about being busy, and mess up your body!"

"Cusser......" Lu Xudong suddenly reached out and took me into his arms, "Thank you! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know if I would have survived......

"What are you talking about?" The tip of my nose was sore, and I hurriedly held back the tears that forced my eyes, sniffed, and then sat in his arms and broke free: "Okay, hurry up, I'm going to accompany my mother, you remember to eat at night......"

The latter words stopped between Lu Xudong's sudden lips and tongue, he kissed me like a dragonfly, and then let out a long breath against my forehead, saying, "I know, don't worry!" After speaking, he let go of me and turned to get into the car.
