Grandpa Chen has been in good spirits since he woke up, and Lu Xingchen even had a feeling that he was slowly recovering for the better.

Seeing Lu Xingchen and Ji Jinyan coming in hand in hand, a trace of comfort flashed in the old man's eyes, and he talked to Lu Xingchen for a long time before slowly looking at Ji Jinyan and smiling: "Mr. Ji, thank you." Thank you for letting me see our little star happily in a wedding dress. ”

He paused as he spoke, then sighed again, and said, "It's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for the moment when you really get married, old man." ”

Lu Xingchen's heart suddenly soured.

"Mr. Ji, old man, I have only one request for you," Grandpa Chen raised his hand slightly, picked up Lu Xingchen's hand, and patted it gently, "Xingchen is a good girl, you have to be good to her." ”

Ji Jinyan pressed Lu Xingchen's shoulder, but his eyes looked straight at Chen Yinghuan, who was drooping on the bed, his eyes were clear and solemn: "Don't worry, I will take care of her." ”

"Good, good, good." Grandpa Chen nodded again and again, and sighed a few words of "good", "With your promise, I am relieved." ”

Lu Xingchen's eyes were hot again, and his nose was also sour, as if a sour breath rose from his chest and surged to his eyes, and then, everything in front of him seemed to be covered with a layer of white mist.

Blurry, can't see clearly.

Until a hot tear quietly slipped down his cheek.

"Silly boy, what are you crying about?" Grandpa Chen raised his hand and wiped the tears from her face, "You should be happy for the old man." ”

Lu Xingchen frowned and stared at him, as if puzzled.

Grandpa Chen said, "Your Grandma Chen has been waiting for me under the Yellow Spring for many years, I can't let her wait any longer, she's so stingy." He paused slightly, and said regretfully: "It's just that I won't be able to go to Lucky Building to listen to music and sing and eat breakfast in the future." ”

Lucky House is a Cantonese-style teahouse, and there are many elderly people there every morning to listen to music and pass the time.

When Chen Yinghuan was not hospitalized, he went there almost every day to check in.

However, after I fell ill and was hospitalized, I never had the opportunity to go.

It's just that now when he says this, there is no nostalgia for the world in his tone, but a kind of relief and open-mindedness.

But Lu Xingchen heard the sourness in his heart a little more.

"Grandpa Chen......" she shook his hand and muttered in a low voice, "Don't say such things, I can't bear you." ”

"Silly boy, what's there to be reluctant to give up here?" Chen Yinghuan said, "You have to understand one thing, no one in the world can always accompany anyone.

It's like when I got married to my wife, she said that she would always accompany me through this life, but didn't she leave before me? It's me, who has accompanied her through her life, and I have no regrets. ”

Lu Xingchen was speechless.

"That's right." The old man thought about something again, and said, "The 5% of the shares I transferred to you may bring you a lot of unnecessary trouble." I've been thinking about it these days, my original decision seems to be a bit selfish, and I will stir you into the whirlpool of our Chen family's inheritance for no reason, so after I return to the West, you can dispose of those shares as you want, but be careful of the eldest and third. ”

Lu Xingchen nodded, "Don't worry, I know everything." ”

Lu Xingchen said another sentence with him, until the old man yawned and said, "Okay, I'm also a little tired." You guys go out first, and by the way, call the doctor in, and I'll ask him some questions. ”

"Okay."

……

After coming out of the old man's room, Lu Xingchen and Ji Jinyan were not in a hurry to leave, they were always uneasy.

Nearly half an hour had passed since Nick entered the room, and no one had come out.

The uneasiness in Lu Xingchen's heart continued to amplify inch by inch.

In front of her, it was as if a black whirlpool had appeared, invading her little by little.

Until, a warm palm gently put on her shoulder, and the man's deep voice sounded in her ears: "Do you need to go back to the car and take a break?" ”

The two of them are now sitting in the small side hall of the Chen family's villa, this place was specially chosen for them by Chen Shaoting, because the living room is full of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods such as Chen Yan and Chen Lihong, and they may insinuate and say something ugly.

Therefore, in order to avoid any unnecessary contradictions at this tense juncture, Chen Shaoting had no choice but to aggrieved them to sit in the side hall first.

But although the two of them were sitting in the side hall, after all, the place they were in was the Chen family, and they couldn't really relax, Ji Jinyan saw that the girl had been in a tense state since the moment she came out of the old man's bedroom, so she proposed to go back to the car to rest.

At least, in the space that only belonged to the two of them in the car, he had a way to relax her.

But the Chen family, after all, is someone else's place, and what they do here is inappropriate.

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen pursed his lips and shook his head slightly, and put his head on his shoulder socket, "No, just lend me your shoulder to lean on." ”

Ji Jinyan said "um", raised his wrist and looked at the time, it was already past ten o'clock.

He frowned slightly and said, "Then you close your eyes, even if you can't sleep, you can nourish your spirit a little." ”

"Okay." Her mind was now blank, and she only knew to listen to his words.

Besides, she was really tired.

Tired.

……

I don't know how long it took, Nick finally came out of Grandpa Chen's hospital room, and he first arrived in the living room, his face was very heavy and grim.

Chen Shaoting saw that the doctor's face was wrong, and her whole heart suddenly sank, she took a deep breath, and was about to speak, when she heard Chen Youning ask in a mournful voice: "Doctor, my grandfather is he...... How's it going? Is he ......"

Nick nodded imperceptibly, his eyes darkened, he sighed, and took off the stethoscope hanging around his neck: "The old man's organs have all failed, his heart and brain function have completely stopped, he has ...... He died of illness and returned to the West. ”

Died of illness and returned to the West......

Died...... Dead......

These four words are like an execution before execution, and a person who still has expectations is suddenly sent to hell.

Chen Shaoting's body trembled suddenly, she couldn't say what she felt at the moment, her eyes were dry, she wanted to cry, but she couldn't cry, she only felt that her whole heart had been hollowed out, and she was cold and cold.

In the living room, I suddenly cried a lot.

Among them, the one who cried the most was Chen Youning.

Chen Shaoting glanced at her, smiled sadly, and turned around and went to the room where the old man died.

She wanted to talk to her grandfather for a while.

Because, after today...... She never had a grandfather anymore.
