Chapter 73: Bad News

I opened the door of the hotel, Shen Man was standing at the door in her pajamas, I imagined that she was ready to rest, but she couldn't sleep peacefully.

We sat on the sofa, I smoked, Shen Man helped me massage my right arm, but the atmosphere was a little awkward in silence.

Finally, I asked Shen Man, "When are you going to go back to Nantong?" ”

"Guan Ying will go back tomorrow, I want to stay and take care of you!"

I looked at Shen Man and pondered for a long time and said: "Senior sister, there are some things that we don't want to say, but it doesn't mean that they don't exist, no matter what, you are now married to the prince, no matter what position you stand, we should also keep our distance." ”

"I can't forgive the prince." Shen Man's tone was very light, but her brows were furrowed.

I asked rhetorically, "If you don't forgive, what are you going to do, divorce?" ...... Life is for us to live, not tossed, I always believe that people will wake up one day, the prince is like this, you and I are the same...... Looking back over the years, too many contradictions and too many tragedies all stem from our inner paranoia and inability to see through. ”

Shen Man looked at me for a long time before he said: "Some things may not be able to be seen through the day of the end of life, I used to think that marriage would mean an end, but as a result, the result is that he has intensified...... Over the years, I have seen you and the prince very clearly from a woman's point of view, one of you has disappointed me and the other has made me despair, but fate has bound us together so ruthlessly that we can't break free....... Once, I wanted to live a peaceful life in Japan more than once, but I really couldn't let go...... Maybe you're right, we know too many things, but we can't see through them! ”

I nodded, I can't see through the line, but there are too many people who are lost in the line and can't get out.

"Senior sister, really don't do anything for me anymore, when none of this has happened, let go of the prince and yourself!"

Shen Man sighed: "How good would it be if you didn't divorce Qingyi...... Maybe there wouldn't be all the trouble we have now! ”

I was stunned, if Chen Qingyi is still by my side now, what kind of situation will it be, at least there is no entanglement with Anqi, at least I will not let the prince slash me under resentment, at least I have a family to rely on when I am lonely, many times Chen Qingyi is like a regulator, we have been married for a year and a half, it is true that she has covered up a lot of contradictions, but Chen Qingyi and I really have no love, we cover up the contradictions of the third party, but we can never cover up our own contradictions, and life is so helpless!

......

On the night after Shen Man left, I fell into endless thoughts again, I wanted to solve this tricky everything in front of me, but I had no good solution, and it was already morning in a trance.

It was a rainy morning, in the sound of the dripping rain, I still had no desire to sleep, my heart was inexplicably irritable, this irritability was not experienced for a long time, I tried to calm myself, but more and more anxious.

At about 7 o'clock, I received a call from my father, and his voice was low and full of grief: "Yixi, your grandfather..... Your grandfather can't eat anymore, it's a few days, come back and see you one last time! ”

My heart twitched for a while, although I had been mentally prepared countless times, but when this day really came, I was so reluctant and so sad.

My father comforted me: "Don't be too sad, your grandfather is over 80 years old, and his great-grandson has also embraced, but there are no regrets!" ”

I choked up.

Dad hesitated for a moment, and then said to me, "Yixi, see if you can ...... Let Qingyi come back and send your grandfather on his last journey, I was still talking about it a few days ago! ”

"I contacted her, I don't know if it's too late."

"Do your best." Dad sighed softly.

.......

I wiped my face with my hand, I wiped away my tears, and it took me a long time to come back to my senses in grief, I found Chen Qingyi's phone number, and then dialed it.

At this time, it was late at night in Ireland, and it took a long time for the phone to be connected, Chen Qingyi seemed to have fallen asleep, and her tone was a little hazy: "Yixi, what's wrong?" ”

I was silent for a long time before I said, "Grandpa, he can't do it, let's come back and see him for the last time if it's convenient." ”

Chen Qingyi was completely unprepared, she was silent for a long, long time.......

"Can you come back?"

"I'll book a ticket now and take the nearest flight back to ......," Chen Qingyi's voice choked.

"Thank you!" I thanked Chen Qingyi in a heavy tone.

"Zhang Yixi, don't thank you, even if we are divorced, at least I am still my grandfather's godgranddaughter, so I should see him off on this last journey!"

.......

The rain was still falling, and the traffic in the small city was not developed, so in order to hurry up, I borrowed a car from Shen Man, Guan Ying and friends from Jinan and rushed to the small city.

It was already afternoon when we arrived in the town and we didn't stop and went straight to the hospital.

Outside the hospital ward, almost all the family members of my father, mother, aunt, and uncle are there, and everyone looks very heavy.

"Dad, you're back..... Pipsqueak came running towards me from afar.

I picked him up with my left hand, and before I could feel the joy of the reunion of father and son, my emotions fell into another kind of grief.

......

I went to my grandfather's hospital room with everyone, he was on a drip, his face was pale, he was already skinny, his life had burned to the end, and it seemed so difficult to even open his eyes, and a few months ago, when I took Chen Qingyi home to visit him, we also played chess together.

"Grandpa, I'm back!"

He slowly opened his eyes, looking so blank, but when he looked at me, there was a change in his eyes, but he didn't have the strength to speak.

I grabbed his shriveled and cold hand, I was sad but not crying, I knew that my grandfather was an optimistic and cheerful person, and I didn't want to express my emotions by crying in front of him.

"Dad, Ichisai is back to see you...... Do you have anything to say to him? The little aunt choked up and said.

"Hmm..... One West..... It's good to be back...... Grandpa is leaving...... I hope you are all well..... Over ......."

"Yes, it will be fine." I endure my grief.

Grandpa closed his eyes again, but shouted indistinctly, "What about Pippi....."

I pulled Pipsqueak behind me and let Pipsqueak hold his hand, and I said, "Pipsqueak and Grandpa have a few words." ”

Pippi nodded, and he choked up with a child's voice and said, "Grandpa, Pippi doesn't want you to go, I still want to hear you tell me the story of the old Red Army...... I don't like to listen to Snow White anymore, listen to the big bad wolf, I like to listen to the old Red Army told by my grandfather, they are all tough guys, and my grandfather is also a tough guy......"

Pippi's words leave everyone immersed in the grief of parting.

Finally, my father pulled me aside, and he asked me softly, "Have you contacted Qingyi?" ”

I nodded, "I'll be there tomorrow afternoon." ”

Dad sighed and said, "I hope it's still too late, if your grandfather can't wait, he won't be able to leave!" ”
