142. 142. The Last Supper
Slowly walked up to grandma, gently pulled up her old hand and held it in the palm of her hand, rubbed it, and said with a smile when her cold hand had a trace of temperature, "Grandma, the sun is blocked on all sides of this house, the light is not good, you are old, it will be safer to turn on the lights." β
As for the second half of the story, 'It doesn't matter if we young people don't turn on the lights', she didn't say it, because she didn't want to hurt her grandmother's heart, no one wanted to be old, and everyone had a heart that wanted to be young.
Grandma's usual seriousness did not change because of her concern, and she still looked straight ahead, in front of her was a gray wall, but in her eyes, there was a picture that she could not forget to this day, and it had tormented her for decades.
The deep eyes were unconsciously covered with a layer of hazy mist, if she couldn't find him, she wouldn't be blind after death, which would be the biggest regret in life.
"Grandma, what's wrong with you? Where I upset you, you say it, and I will change it. Shilan asked anxiously, she had never seen her grandmother look so sad, and her heart was anxiously pinched.
After shouting many times in a row, Grandma Mu gradually came to her senses, looked at her sadly, pursed her slightly wrinkled lips without saying a word, and then in the next second, her painful eyes suddenly became sharp, and her deep eyes glowed with a strong light, "Shilan, who do you like?" That young man is also your suitor. β
Shi Lan was speechless when she was questioned by her grandmother, why did her grandmother, who never cares about her personal affairs, change her temperament today, is it because of Brother Pu Xuan?
"This ......" she was quite embarrassed, she had been numb enough to the word 'love' in recent days.
Listening carefully with her ears straightened, but seeing that she couldn't say a reason, her deep eyes gradually narrowed, and her face showed a touch of displeasure, "Shilan, why don't you answer grandma?" β
Wang Shilan, who was questioned, flashed a trace of impatience on her face, "Grandma, don't worry about this, I will stay by your side for the rest of my life, and no one will marry." β
The sudden case made her old eyes widen, and she stared at Shi Lan in surprise, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously murmured, "Don't you like the Ming Zeen who came last time?" That kid is fine, and you can see that he likes you. β
Shi Lan was even more shocked that the second monk was at a loss, originally thought that grandma was unhappy because she didn't like Brother Pu Xuan, but unexpectedly, it was for that person?
Pursed her lips and looked at her grandmother in a daze, completely confused about the situation, grandma seemed to be in good spirits and had a clear mind, how to say it......
Grandma eased her emotions, touched Shilan's forehead lovingly, and lightly opened her lips meaningfully, "Ming Zeen, the last time I saw him, he not only looks handsome and profane, but also feels that he is kind-hearted and very good, and he naturally shows a kind of liking for you all the time, if you can be with him, grandma can rest assured when she is old." β
The corners of his mouth twitched irritably, his face full of complicated uneasiness, "Grandma, you won't be old, I want to be with you for the rest of my life." β
"It's really a good boy, everyone gets old one day, and when the time comes, you can't keep it. By the way, you haven't directly answered Grandma's question just now, do you have a good impression of him? β
Wang Shilan's heart is like pouring a five-flavor bottle with mixed flavors, and she really understands it carefully, it is really difficult to say clearly how she feels about Ming Shao, saying that she is not loving and faintly hurting, saying that she really doesn't dare to love her, and the tide that is rolling in from all directions tells her that she and him are not all the way, and she must not like him.
Pursed her lips in embarrassment, "Grandma, I... I don't like it. β
His eyes widened in surprise, and he slowly narrowed his eyes in the next second, but he didn't say a word, and he was stunned for a long time, "Then what do you think of Pu Xuan?" β
Grandma is a clear-eyed person, and she usually sees her grandson's infatuation with Shilan under the old eyes, but Shilan's right avoidance is also vivid in her mind, which is why she didn't directly ask Shilan if she liked Pu Xuan, but asked implicitly.
The sadness on Shi Lan's face was much less than when she was asked about Ming Zeen just now, and she replied gently, "Pu Xuan is like my brother, in my mind, he is my good brother. β
finally added, "Grandma, Brother Pu Xuan and myself, the three of us are a family that loves each other." β
can't be a granddaughter-in-law but can also have such a virtuous and filial granddaughter, the old man's heart is still warm, she is a person who has come over, and knows that feelings can't be forced, since Shilan and her grandson have no love relationship, it's always a good thing to have family affection, but ...... It's a pity that such a good Ming Zeen Shilan is not moved by him.
For some reason, he has an inexplicable and unspeakable affection for Zeon, just like Zene was his own grandson in his previous life.
hugged Shilan tightly in her arms, "Child, grandma has a filial granddaughter like you, which is a blessing for several lifetimes." β
"Yes, grandma." The clear water eyes couldn't help but be covered with a layer of mist, and her fiery affection for the loss of her parents was to melt the warm sun in her heart.
Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, he took out a coat from the room and draped it on his grandmother, "Grandma, don't catch a cold, I'll make something for you to eat." β
Grandma Mu nodded happily, since Shilan lived in her house, she took good care of her, and her body was obviously tougher.
&&&
After the silver-gray sedan came back from the pharmacy, it drove directly into the Ming family's mansion, Wan Yan Gurui pushed the car door and got out of the car, standing in front of this noble mansion with her legs upright, her hands trembling and tugging at the diagonal leather bag, her eyes were dark and dark.
Exhaling Rulan's mouth, she whispered, "Farewell, Ming family." β
"Miss, you're back."
The shouts of the maid behind her, Xiao Cui, broke her thoughts.
Nodding slightly, he didn't answer, and walked towards the back room with his slender thighs.
Xiao Cuihu touched her head suspiciously, Miss Gurui has always been very polite, and she treats them very well, why does she look weird today.
He pouted his mouth boredly, telling himself not to think about it, Miss Gurui was tired, so she turned her head and went about her own business.
As soon as I stepped into the living room, I saw GΓΌlen sitting gracefully on the sofa, with elegant movements and a slightly proud posture, leisurely sipping the tea in her hand, but when she saw her come back, her eyes immediately became gentle and soft.
"Lone Rui, where have you been?"
She tugged at the corners of her mouth in a panic, revealing a far-fetched smile, but it was extremely unnatural, "Aunt Lan, it's nothing, go out for a walk." β
"Oh." A knowing smile appeared on the corner of Aunt Lan's mouth, and she stretched out her hand to signal her to come over and sit with her.
However, Shi Lan's hand holding the straddle bag was still tight, and her expression suddenly became nervous, "Aunt Lan, I... I'll go upstairs first. β
She looked at her abnormality in astonishment, usually she was happy to accompany her, why did she look flustered today, and felt a little weird.
"Then you come down for dinner in half an hour, and the meal will start later." Aunt Lan instructed.
"Hmm." nodded, and walked upstairs, during which he lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Aunt Lan again, for fear of being recognized by her keenness.
When he came to the door of his room, he habitually stopped and turned his head to look at the door that was closed, Gu Rui knew very well that he was not in it at all at this time, and he went to the company early in the morning, however, he still wanted to take a few more looks, and the reluctance before parting suddenly stung her heart.
Returning to his own room, he leaned against the door and slowly slid down, tears falling without warning, soaking his clothes one by one.
The hand that tugged tightly across the bag kept trembling, she was going to leave this world tonight, and the most important thing was that she would never see Zeon again, and her heart suddenly tugged together, tearing......
In order not to become a burden to him and let him strive for his own happiness, she left quietly and willingly.
Ming Zhinan and his wife sat on the leather embossed sofa in the golden hall, waiting for Gu Rui to come down and dine together.
Aunt Lan looked up at the quartz clock hanging on the opposite wall, her eyebrows frowned slightly, she was about to start eating, why hadn't Gu Rui gone downstairs yet? Half an hour has passed.
Just as she was about to ask the maid to go upstairs to urge her, Lone Rui walked out slowly.
Aunt Lan's eyes lit up, and she smiled at Gu Rui on the stairs and shouted, "Gu Rui, I'm coming to dinner, I'm about to call you." β
She pulled out a relaxed smile, "I'm sorry, aunt and uncle, for keeping you waiting." β
Aunt Lan waved her hand, "No, no, it's just in time, let's get seated." β
Ming Zhinan also smiled slightly, saying that she didn't have to blame herself.
In Ming Zhinan's mind, Gu Rui is no longer as simple as a prospective daughter-in-law, and even like her own daughter, so she will ask the maid to scream before she and Zeen are officially married, just to express how much they like her, and the maid must not reject her because she is not surnamed Ming.
If it weren't for Gu Rui's parents, how could there be the current glory of the Ming family.
Wanyan and his wife had the courage to generously rescue each other when the Ming family was in trouble, otherwise the Ming family would be wandering on the streets today, how could they still live in such a big house, with fine clothes and food.
Thinking of the economic and financial crisis back then, the Ming couple still have palpitations.
The three of them had already sat down on the luxurious marble table, Ming Zhinan was sitting directly above the main seat, next to his wife GΓΌlen, and Gu Rui was sitting next to her, his eyes fell on the empty seat opposite, and he couldn't help but feel a little lonely in his heart.
That seat was a special seat for Ming Shao, but due to his busy work, it was often an empty seat.
It's nothing to get used to it on weekdays, but today it's particularly eye-catching, and it seems that there is no chance to have the last dinner with him.
The astute Aunt Lan saw Gu Rui's frustration, and hurriedly picked up a piece of mutton and put it in the bowl in front of her, "Gu Rui, eat some mutton in winter to warm your body, eat it while it's hot." β
Gu Rui turned his gaze to look at her, a grateful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, nodded his head, and said thank you.
