In the afternoon of this day, Nangong Li received a call from Uncle Chen, "Young Master Li, come to the Nansheng General Hospital." ”

"What's going on?"

"The old man is critically ill."

"We'll be !! right away"

Nangong Li didn't have time to think about it, so he hung up the phone and immediately took Mrs. Li, Nangong Chen and Nangong Ji to the Nansheng General Hospital. Uncle Chen thought about it and hesitated, and finally dialed the phone number he had given.

As soon as the phone was connected, Uncle Chen said directly, "I'm Uncle Chen, the old man is critically ill, and he is in the Nansheng General Hospital, come over now, maybe he can see the old man for the last time." ”

Without waiting for the other party to reply, Uncle Chen had already hung up the phone, and stayed by the old man's side every step of the way, waiting for Nangong Li and them to come over.

Nangong Li rushed to the Nansheng General Hospital in the shortest time, and the four of them went straight to the ward where the old man was.

When Uncle Chen saw them, he immediately got up and gave up his seat, "Young Master Li, Mrs. Li, Young Master Chen, Xiao Nangong." ”

The four of them nodded in response to Uncle Chen, and looked at the sleeping old man with a worried expression.

Nangong Li sat beside the bed, held the old man's hand, and asked, "Uncle Chen, what the hell is going on?" Hasn't Dad's body been good all the time? ”

"Young Master Li, the old man's physical condition has actually been hiding it from me, and the old man is not going on a business trip this time."

"Not on a business trip?!"

"Yes, the old man went to Shanghai to find the shadow."

"Shadow?! Is that him? ”

"That's right, it's Young Master Shadow."

Hearing this person's name, Nangong Li and Nangong Chen were really father and son, their eyes darkened at the same time, and the expressions on their faces were exactly the same.

Nangong Ji also knew in his heart what his grandfather was going to find the shadow for, if it wasn't for his dark snake, if it wasn't for the fat man in the dark snake...... Light, he won't ...... Now, is even her grandfather, who loves her the most, going to hurt?

Did she do something wrong?! What did you do wrong?!!

"This time, the old man insisted on going to talk to him in person, no matter what conditions he wanted, he agreed, as long as he didn't hurt his Xiao Nangong again." Saying that, Uncle Chen choked up, and continued with great guilt: "The old man couldn't hold it a moment before he got on the plane...... Fell. ”

"Did you notify him to come?" Nangong Li's question, everyone present was surprised.

"I'm sorry, Young Master Li, I took it upon myself to inform him to come over."

"Uncle Chen, you didn't do anything wrong in this matter, he is a son, his father is seriously ill, he should come over!"

"Young Master Li's ......", Uncle Chen knows that Nangong Li's nature has always been tolerant, but if it were him, there would be absolutely no way to forgive.

"When will he arrive?"

"If he's going to come, he'll probably be there tomorrow morning."

Nangong Li no longer answered, and stayed silently by the old man's side.

After the whole night, the old man did not wake up until noon the next day, when he came, and the old man woke up.

After the old man found out, he ordered Uncle Chen to take Nangong Chen and Nangong Ji to go out first, and then arrange for the shadow to wait in the ward next door, and don't let him come out without his order.

Only Nangong Li and Mrs. Li were left in the ward, and the old man smiled and said to them: "Xiao Li, Li'er ......"

Nangong Li and Mrs. Li each held the old man's hand, endured their sadness, and called him with a smile, "Dad......"

The old man said weakly: "Xiao Li, Li'er, you have been wronged all these years, and you have suffered unbearable pain from ordinary parents; Fortunately, now that Xiao Nangong has come back safely, the only thing I feel luckiest in my life is to be able to see Xiao Nangong again. ”

Why don't the couple feel this way, for this matter, except for the ultimate regret and extreme luck, there is no language to accurately describe their feelings over the years.

Nangong Li: "Dad......"

Mrs. Li: "Dad......"

"Xiaoli, Li'er, Dad has something he wants to ask you."

Nangong Li: "Dad, you say." ”

"Don't become a burden to Xiao Chen and Xiao Nangong because of this incident, cherish the current time, and live happily and peacefully with the children, okay?"

The meaning of the old man's words, they understood; It's just that this matter is not so easy to say that you can let go, eighteen years of time!

But...... Nangong Li's eyes were red, and he replied for a long time: "Okay, we promise you." Dad, as long as you're okay. ”

The old man's pale and feeble face finally had a smile, turned his head to look at the door, and said, "Let Xiao Chen and Xiao Nangong come in, I miss them." ”

"Alright, alright, Dad, I'll call them in." Mrs. Li immediately got up and went outside the door to bring Nangong Chen and Nangong Ji in.

The Shadow had been pacing back and forth in the next room, waiting impatiently; Just now he heard the sound of movement outside the door, so he knocked frantically......

Uncle Chen was afraid of disturbing the old man, so he went in alone and said, "The old man's condition is not good, if you still have his father in your heart, then it is better to be quiet." ”

The shadow glared at Uncle Chen with irritable eyes and said, "Uncle Chen, do you think you, and the bodyguards outside the door, can stop me?" ”

"I can't stop it." Uncle Chen said bluntly: "Since you don't listen to persuasion, then do whatever you want!" ”

"If you let me come, why haven't you let me see him until now!?"

"The old man knows that you are coming, and it is also the old man's intention to arrange you next door, he said, when the time comes, I will come and take you over, you ...... Let's be calm. After Uncle Chen finished speaking, he turned around and went out, closing the door again.

"You're ......!" The shadow kicked the door that Uncle Chen had closed fiercely, as a way to vent the anger in his heart, but other than that, he didn't make any moves, after all, he was thinking of the old man or his father's affection.

In fact, the old man and others heard the movements here clearly, but the old man did not give an order, and everyone could only ignore them.

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Nangong, come ......" The old man stretched out his trembling hands to hold Nangong Chen and Nangong Yi's hands.

The brother and sister shouted obediently: "Grandpa......"

When the old man saw them, he had a smile on his face, which did not match the hospital gown he was wearing at all.

The old man sighed meaningfully and said, "Xiao Chen, because of the special nature of our Nangong family, you have lived a different life from others since you were a child, and other people's childhoods were happy, but you took on a responsibility that you should not bear at that age; You've always been sensible, and although I've never heard you complain, Grandpa knows it. Blame grandpa, it's all grandpa who is not good, and he has wronged you. ”

"Grandpa, no, I'm having a great time, really."

"Silly boy, grandpa has lived a long time, he hasn't seen anything, and he still wants to lie to grandpa?" The old man held Nangong Chen's hand and Nangong Xuan's hand in his own hands, and said: "Grandpa feels that the luckiest thing in his life is that he can still see Xiao Nangong, Xiao Nangong, grandpa knows that you have suffered a lot over the years, you are a good boy who is sensible and strong, like your brother, you are used to carrying everything you encounter." But Xiao Nangong, now, you have the entire Nangong family behind you, don't grieve yourself, you have to remember that you are the treasure of our Nangong family in the palm of your hand! You know? ”

Nangong Jian still couldn't hold back, tears fell straight down, and said: "I know, grandpa, grandpa loves Xiao Nangong the most, grandpa wants to get better quickly, Xiao Nangong won't go anywhere this time, just stay by grandpa's side......"

Mrs. Li walked to Nangong Jiong's side, hugged her, comforted her and secretly shed tears at the same time.

The old man nodded and said, "Good, good." Xiao Chen, Xiao Nangong, grandpa wants to ask you for one thing. ”

Nangong Chen: "Grandpa, you say." ”

"I just told your parents about this, grandpa hopes you can let go of the past in our family, and don't dig into it. Those who have hurt Xiao Nangong, grandpa will punish them; Grandpa hopes that you can be safe, happy and happy by your parents' side, and cherish the time of family reunion. All right? ”

Nangong Chen was still angry in his heart, and he hesitated and didn't answer.

Nangong Li put his hand on his shoulder, patted him heavily, and said comfortingly: "Xiao Chen, listen to grandpa." ”

Nangong Chen agreed, "Okay, grandpa, I promise you." ”

"Okay, Xiao Nangong, what about you, can you promise grandpa to put it down?"

This topic made her think of Qingyang again, and it was difficult to control her emotions for a while, but she still cried and nodded in agreement.

The old man knows that it is too difficult for them not to pursue this matter again, but instead of knowing the truth and persisting in punishment, it is better to let them let go, live happily, and cherish this hard-won reunion time.

"Okay, I'm scaring you all with this illness, go back and rest, don't worry."

Nangong Li turned his head and explained to Nangong Chen, "Xiao Chen, you take Xiao Nangong back first." ”

Nangong Chen nodded and said, "Okay, grandpa, then let's go back first." ”

"Wait, Xiaochen, grandpa forgot to tell you, our Nangong family is not a feudal family, you just have to do what you want, as long as he is the person you like in your heart, you don't have to think too much."

Nangong Chen was stunned for a moment, only then did he understand what his grandfather meant, and then nodded to him seriously.

The old man looked at Nangong Ji again, smiled kindly, and said, "Xiao Nangong is also oh." ”

Nangong Yi also nodded in response: "Hmm." I will, Grandpa. ”

After Nangong Chen and Nangong Ji went out, the old man called Uncle Chen, "Uncle Chen, did I bring your things?" ”

Uncle Chen nodded, took out a small wooden box from the cabinet, and said, "Old man, here." ”

"Okay, give it to Xiao Li and Li'er."

Uncle Chen opened the small wooden box, there were three wooden boxes inside, took out two of them, and handed them to Nangong Li and Mrs. Li respectively.

Old man: "I divided the ownership of the family into three equal parts, Xiao Li, what you have is what I left for you and Li'er, and what I left for Li'er is what I left for Xiao Chen and Xiao Nangong." ”

"Dad, what do you mean by that? What do you do? ”

"Xiao Li, I know my body, and these will be handed over to you sooner or later. It's the same one day earlier and one day late. The old man looked at the wooden box in the small wooden box and said, "That share was originally reserved for him, Xiao Li, you are in charge." ”

Nangong Li was silent, this silence was full of anger; After he took the wooden box handed by Uncle Chen, he vented all the anger in his hand on this box.

Mrs. Li understood his hatred for that man, and she hated him even more!! However, Dad is right, when will the grievances be retribution......

She took Nangong Li's hand and nodded at him.

The old man added: "Xiao Li, if he is still unrepentant in the future, and he makes mistakes again and again, he doesn't need to think about his feelings, he can deal with it as he wants!" ”

"Dad......"

"Okay, Xiaoli, Li'er, Dad is tired, you can go back and rest, don't worry, come back tomorrow, go back quickly, ah."

"Okay, Dad, you have a good rest first, and we'll come back tomorrow."

The old man nodded at them and watched them go out, his eyes full of guilt and reluctance...... The remaining strength is also being lost little by little......

"Uncle Chen, don't look at Xiao Chen's calm appearance, in fact, his temperament is the same as his father Xiao Li, he is secretly anxious, in the future, I will trouble Uncle Chen to help Xiao Chen more."

"Don't worry, old man, Young Master Chen is a sensible child."

"And ...... Also, take care of Xiao Nangong for me, our Nangong family owes her too much, Uncle Chen, you must take care of Xiao ...... Xiao Nangong ......"

"Don't worry! My Uncle Chen will definitely take care of them in his lifetime, don't worry! ”

"Okay, then...... I...... I'll just ...... Rest assured! ”

After saying the last sentence intermittently in the last breath, the old man slowly closed his weather-beaten eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

"Old man! Old man! Old man!! ”

This night, the Nangong family was brightly lit all night, and no one wanted to sleep......

Before the shadow knew, Uncle Chen followed Nangong Li's instructions to arrange for the shadow to return to the city of Paris and temporarily stay in a hotel near the city.

Three days later, the Nangong family announced the news, and several family relatives and friends came to the cemetery to mourn in a low-key manner after learning the news.

On this day, it was a time of snow in winter, and the temperature was just right.

"Dad, I promised Aunt Light before that I wouldn't see them again. So, I want to go see Grandpa early, before they all come, okay? ”

Nangong Li hugged Nangong Ji with a distressed look on his face and said, "Okay, our family will go early." ”

Nangong Li hugged Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li led Nangong Ji, Nangong Chen followed Nangong Jiong, and just like that, the family of four dressed in heavy black clothes went to the cemetery.

Uncle Chen looked at the backs of the four people, sighed deeply, and then turned around and waited for everyone outside the hall.

"Dad, brother, you go and greet relatives and friends first, I want to stay with grandpa for a while."

"Okay, then let Mom stay with you."

Nangong Wei nodded, tears rolling in her eyes.

After Nangong Li and Nangong Chen walked away, she whispered to herself: "Grandpa, I'm sorry, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have left us like this." ”

When Mrs. Li heard this, her heart ached, and she hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her: "Silly child, it has nothing to do with you, don't think like this." ”

Nangong Yi cried, trembling and said: "In the past, they all said that I was a curse, and whoever came close to me would be unlucky, and I hated them for saying this at that time." Now, now I understand, they are not wrong, I am indeed a disaster, not only harming Qingyang, harming Leng Yan, but also harming grandpa! I really shouldn't be alive! ”

"No, no, Mom won't let you say that, no matter what people say about you before, it doesn't matter, because it's not what they say. Now you just need to remember that you are the baby of our Nangong family, grandfather, father, mother and brother, we love you very much! You are not a curse, you are our life, do you know how desperate we have been in the eighteen years since you disappeared! How happy we are when you come back to us! Xiao Nangong, grandpa loves you the most, you have to live well, healthy and happy, don't think about anything stupid!! Promise Mom, Xiao Nangong, Promise Mom. ”

In this passage, Mrs. Li held back her tears in her heart and spoke it to Xiao Nangong with great power. She knew that this time had hit her one after another, so she, as a mother, had to give her strength to accompany her through this sad time.

"Mom." Nangong Yi collapsed, hugged Mrs. Li tightly, and cried: "I miss my grandfather, I miss my grandfather, I miss my grandfather......"

Countless "I miss grandpa" can't turn back time.

Mrs. Li held back her tears and gently comforted her daughter Xiao Nangong.

After a long time, Nangong Ji reluctantly stopped his emotions and left the cemetery with Mrs. Li.

It was such a coincidence that they passed by the Qing couple and Xuan Jing, the Leng couple and Qi Xue, the Sun family and other relatives and friends, just separated by a few rows of towering trees. Between the branches and shadows, the Qing couple, the Leng family, and Qi Xue all saw them faintly.

Seeing Nangong Wei's haggard back, although the eyes of the Qing couple were full of pity, they also passed by in a hurry.

And Mrs. Leng whispered to Qi Xue: "Why is she here too, isn't the lady next to Nangong Li?"

Before Qi Xue could reply, Mr. Leng interrupted in a low voice, "Okay, let's talk less about other people's affairs, let's settle down on today's occasion." ”

The things that happened before, their relationship between the Leng family and the Nangong family is not what it used to be, if the two families break up, it will only be a lose-lose situation. Thanks to the old man's magnanimity, he didn't pursue it again after a few words of verbal awakening.

This is a fact, and Mrs. Leng doesn't say much anymore.

However, at that time, neither the Leng couple could understand that a Qin Jixue actually asked the old man Nangong to come forward to speak for her in person.

But today, they finally got it.

After the condolence ceremony, the Qing couple left first, and Mrs. Leng and Qi Xue were about to leave when they accidentally discovered her identity.

Nangong Ji hasn't left yet, she wants to find a chance to meet Xuan Jing.

"Uncle Chen, can you let Xuan Jing come and see me?"

"Xiao Nangong, Jing Shao has already gone back with the Qing family, but do you want me to stop you?"

"No, no need, Uncle Chen."

"Okay, then Xiao Nangong wants to go back with Mrs. Li now?"

"Dad and brother, are they still busy?"

"Young Master Li still has some follow-up treatment, Young Master Sun Hao took Young Master Chen out."

"Okay, then my mother and I will go back first."

"Then I'll let the driver wait at the door."

"Well, hard work Uncle Chen."

After Uncle Chen left, Mrs. Leng and Qi Xue walked out, and Mrs. Leng asked her with a surprised face: "Are you Xiao Nangong?!" ”

Mrs. Li saw Mrs. Leng and Qi Xue surrounding Nangong Ji from a distance, thinking that they were bullying her again, so she rushed over angrily, protected Nangong Ji, and said coldly, "What do you want to do?" "Mrs. Li knows how this Mrs. Leng in front of her bullied Xiao Nangong before, no matter how good her temper is, if anyone bullies her daughter, she will never give this person a good look.

Qi Xue explained with a guilty and apologetic expression: "Auntie, you misunderstood, we just came over to say hello." ”

Mrs. Li looked at Qi Xue, her face was full of dislike, and she didn't reply, she turned around and led Nangong Yi away, but Nangong Yi didn't move, and said, "Mom, wait, I want to ask a few words." ”

Mrs. Li compromised and responded, "Okay." But his hand was still holding Nangong Yan's hand tightly.

Mrs. Leng asked her again in a rare good tone: "You are Xiao Nangong?!" ”

Mrs. Li frowned, and took the lead in responding: "What, Mrs. Leng, do you still want to bully her?" ”

Qi Xue explained again: "Auntie, you misunderstood......"

Mrs. Li said repeatedly: "Misunderstanding! I know exactly what you did to my daughter before, don't think that if our Nangong family doesn't pursue it, you can get an inch! ”

"Mom ......", Nangong Ji gently took Mrs. Lali's hand, and then said to Mrs. Leng: "I just want to know...... Leng Yan, how is he now? ”

"He's still like that, he hasn't woken up yet."

"Gazy ......"

Nangong Chen came over and blocked Nangong Ji and Mrs. Li behind him, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Brother, it's okay, let's go."

When Nangong Xuan pulled Mrs. Li and Nangong Chen to turn around and leave, Qi Xue wanted to call her and say everything she wanted to say to her, but when the words came to her mouth, she didn't have enough courage to say it.
