49: Life and Death

Life and Death

I turned around angrily. When I saw that Lu Xuan had nothing to do with it, I was immersed in my own thoughts. I restrained myself and took two steps towards him.

"Lu Xuan, don't lie to me. Tell me Grandma's condition completely."

His eyes flashed and he seemed to have regained his senses. His black eyes looked at me for a while, as if a silent confrontation had finally failed. His warm palms rubbed against my hair a few times.

"It's not the time to worry about this. Taking good care of Grandma is the most important thing."

My eyebrows were locked as I raised my head to stare at him. I didn't refute him, but I was still stubborn. Actually, I could guess that even if he did n' t say anything, Grandma would probably...

I didn't worry too much about being good. It was because I was too clear in my heart that I could n' t hold back the thought that Grandma would be gone if she didn't take it seriously. I' ve always had memories coming back. I wanted to turn back time and freeze it forever.

Seeing that my head was still red, as if I was about to cry again in an instant, Lu Xuan palm moved down to my face and pinched and touched.

"Why didn't I realize that you still have such a crying side?"

I couldn't cry when he interrupted me with a smile. I sniffed at his nose and glared at him. Without saying anything, I turned around and walked into the ward. Lu Xuan followed behind me.

The hospital nurse had already taken good care of Grandma. She had taken off the respirator, and her face was still pale. However, she looked rather energetic.

When Grandma saw us coming in, she shouted that she was going to sit up. I quickly stepped forward and placed a pillow on her back. Then, I tucked the blanket in to relax. After everything was fine, the nurse left the room.

Grandma smiled kindly and looked at Lu Xuan behind me." Xiao Xuan're here." "Come, come over to Grandma's place."

Lu Xuan accepted Grandma's request and walked to her right hand. She naturally held her hand.

"Grandma, take care of your illness. Lu Yan and I will accompany you."

Grandma laughed heartily, but she pretended to scold him," What is there to accompany my old wife? What should you do? Don't delay."

I couldn't be happy at all. With a bitter face, I pulled her hand." Grandma, what are you talking about? Are n' t you going to let us accompany you when you're sick?"

"Don't worry, I wo n' t delay anything." In comparison Lu Xuan it was a lot easier to talk. Grandma grabbed my nose and smiled helplessly at Lu Xuan.

"Xiao Jiu, this girl is a brainless girl. A child's temperament is too strong. Xiao Xuan, you have to take care of her more. You are more sensible than her. If you do n' t have anything to do, you should mention her."

Lu Xuan looked at me and smiled happily, but he didn't exaggerate." Well, taking care of her is what I want to do the most."

Although these words were said with a smile, they also contained an element that made Grandma feel at ease. But through his serious eyes, he didn't have a smile. I knew that he was telling the truth and that his face was warming without warning. I did n' t dare to look him in the eye because of what I had done.

Grandma was even happier when she heard that. She smiled and said," Looks like I'm not wrong. You guys!" "A good couple!" I laughed too much and coughed violently for a while. I stood up and gave her a hand. After stopping, I took a few sips before I could recover.

"Alright, alright. I'm fine. Do n' t be nervous." Grandma stopped my hands, which I didn't know what to do and had nowhere to put them. She placed them in her palm and gently patted them. The other hand went to pull Lu Xuan. She was too thin and weak, so Lu Xuan and I looked quite at odds with each other.

"Since you've chosen to be together, you must cherish the other party well in the future. If you encounter any ups and downs, you' ll want to spend it together instead of alone. "Grandmother won't be able to help you in the future. I just hope that you can make a good grasp of it. Grandmother hopes that you can stay together until the day you cultivate the fruit, okay?"

The more I heard the last words, the more upset I felt. I wanted to pull my hand out, but it was tightly held by the Lu Xuan on my hand. Because I didn't dare to use too much force, I could only let him hold it.

When he saw that I was honest, he smiled and continued talking to Grandma.

"Grandma is right. As long as I'm here, I wo n' t let her be alone. You should get well and witness our cultivation."

This is the first time I've discovered that Lu Xuan's ability to be obedient isn't small. I' m actually speechless when I say so in a few words... Well, I think he's so cute...

Grandma was tired as she chatted. She closed her eyes to recuperate. She looked a little worse than before.

The attending doctor came over to check. I didn't like this doctor. As soon as he came in, I retreated to the side and told Lu Xuan to tell him. He was n' t satisfied with this. Before he left, he went over to my side and took a look. His sharp eyes appeared again.

"It's really hard to come by. Today, the ward is quiet."

His voice wasn't loud enough to alert Grandma and make everyone in the room hear him clearly. The Lu Xuan and nurse on the other side smiled. I gritted my teeth and wanted to slap him in the face.

Hu——He was calm and collected. He didn' t lower himself to a lowly person. Even so, he couldn' t help but greet his ancestors' relatives in his heart.

I went out to dinner with Lu Xuan and booked a room at a hotel near the hospital. When I returned to the hospital, I found someone coming.

I first saw Lu Chenjun and greeted him before I saw Dad sitting next to Grandma. I was stunned for a moment before I walked over.

"Dad, you're here." I rarely saw my father take the initiative to care about Grandma. It seemed that Mom and Grandma didn't have a good relationship, so they did n' t even mention it.

His father nodded slightly and looked at Grandma with a hurt look in his eyes.

"Did your grandma wake up?"

"After waking up for a while, I got tired and fell asleep again." I answered truthfully.

He nodded again. He could vaguely hear his sigh, but he couldn't see it clearly. He did n' t know if I heard wrong. Although the room was quiet, Grandma's breathing could be heard clearly. Perhaps it was just Grandma's breathing.

I shook my head. Why did I have to worry about such a boring question?

"Yan Yan, talk to me. I have something to say to you." His father stood up and was dressed in a straight suit. After a long time in the mall, he had a mature aura unique to the middle-aged man.

However, I was a little confused. What could I talk about? I didn't make a fuss about it. Even though I had lived with them for so many years, my father and I could count every time we talked.

He didn't show any concern for me or any other feelings. The only time he showed any concern for me was probably the last time my mother and I quarreled. He did n' t seem to show any obvious preference for me. Most of the time, I greeted him and answered him lightly. Most of the time, he was busy with business and I didn't have much time to see him.

Therefore, I said that he was more like a stranger to me. He didn't interfere in my life, so he could n' t feel anything else.

Even so, I agreed to leave the room with him, leaving Lu Chenjun and Lu Xuan to guard Grandma.

He took me to a coffee shop and took the initiative to order some warm milk for me. I looked at the snow-white liquid and curled my lips in disgust. He really didn't know me at all. As soon as he thought about it, he heard him say

"Coffee is not good for your health. Drink less."

When Xiaoxin was seen through, I immediately felt a little embarrassed. So it wasn't that he did n' t understand. He was just showing that a father should be concerned about his daughter. Although he looked a little deliberate, he was good at all. For this reason, I picked up the cup of milk and took a sip. As expected, it was that I didn't like to drink. Forget it.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" I put down the blanket and sat upright to look at him.

"The most important reason I'm here is to see your grandma, but she's asleep now. I'm sure she wo n' t want to see me even if she wakes up."

I was at a loss. Which mother didn't want to see her child? Oh! That's right, was n' t that the case with my mother? Thinking of me, she sneered.

"You've only been sitting up for a few minutes, so Grandma naturally wo n' t wake up so quickly. If you can't even wait this little time..."

"No, it's not..." He interrupted me, clearly feeling my displeasure, although I did n' t deliberately hide it.

"Do you think I've been unfilial with your grandma for so many years?"

I didn't answer, but my eyes were positive.

"Actually, it's your grandma who does n' t want to see me. Hai..." He wanted to say something but stopped. I frowned and didn't say anything. Did something happen between Grandma and her parents?

"Grandma, why didn't she want to see you?"

"She's blaming me and wo n' t forgive me. If it weren't for me and your mother, your grandfather would n' t have left so early..."

I wasn't surprised. I could n' t think of anyone else besides my grandfather who could make Grandma so ruthless.

His father told the story in a low voice, filled with remorse and regret.

When his father decided to marry his mother, his grandfather and grandmother weren't very satisfied with the marriage. Perhaps it was because his mother was an orphan and a self-reliant girl. However, the first thing they saw was that his mother was an ambitious and strong woman. His father was a Confucian, and they believed that his father could n' t control such a woman. 2

Grandfather and Grandma refused to agree. In order to show their determination to their mother, their father separated from their family and fought with their mother outside. Mom really couldn't be confused with those women who disliked being poor and loved being rich. That was because those few years had been the worst time for her father, and she had spent the entire time with him. As a matter of fact, her father almost believed that her mother was that person.

It was because of this that the grandfather and grandmother who were watching from afar shook their morale. They were determined to accept their mother. When their father heard that, he was so happy that he brought his mother to see them again.

In fact, his grandfather was also selfish. At that time, his grandfather's health was already very bad. The major shareholders of the company were restless. In order to stabilize the situation, he decided to hide his illness and did n' t even tell Grandma. Most importantly, the company's development had encountered a bottleneck. He could n' t handle many problems together.

His grandfather wanted his father to inherit the family business as soon as possible, and he also proposed the idea of merging his parents' existing company into the family business. This was how the conflict arose.

Mother definitely wouldn't hand over the company that she had created with great difficulty. She understood that her grandfather just wanted to use this to restrict her. He was n' t really thinking about the company's development.

The two sides were in a stalemate like this. Both Mom and Grandfather were arguing. Father was stuck in the middle and had no choice. Grandma didn't expect her old man to be so stubborn in this matter. She could n' t persuade both of them.

Her mother's determination was also reflected at that time. When she saw that her father had n' t made a decision yet, she prepared to go back to the company after she packed up her things. When her father saw that she was anxious, he couldn't stop her and could only follow her.

Grandfather went to the hospital in a fit of anger. Since his grandfather had been very healthy before, his parents simply thought that his grandfather was trying to make things worse. In fact, it was his little illness.

As soon as his grandfather fell, the company was in real danger. One by one, bad news came. In the end, his grandfather was unable to hold on. He spat out a mouthful of hot blood and never got up again.

When his father arrived, he only saw his grandfather's portrait. Grandma slapped him twice and scolded him in a trembling voice. He never spoke to his father again.

Actually, I was there at that time. Perhaps it was because I was young, but there were only a few fragments left. As for the details, I really only found out today.

After taking care of his grandfather's affairs, his father accepted his grandfather's business. It could be said that it was riddled with problems. He was so busy that he couldn't last a few times. However, when he thought that this was his grandfather's life's work, he could n' t just destroy it. With this belief, he allowed the business to survive until now.

Grandma hated her mother because of her grandfather's death. Her father did n' t know what to say and shouldn't forgive her. That was why Grandma had never been close to her parents. Her mother was so proud that she would n' t bow her head to Grandma. His father had tried to get Grandma's forgiveness. After being hung up by Grandma for a long time, his courage was wasted and he became a turtle.

It was Dad's idea to keep me by Grandma's side for a long time. He hoped that I could be by Grandma's side instead of him. It was said that Mom had also endured the pain and left me behind. Because of this, she had been very cold to Dad for many years. Whenever she quarreled, she would talk to me.

I was so shocked that I couldn't come back to my senses. Did he say that his mother treated him coldly because of me? Why did I not believe that?

Father saw that I didn't believe him and drank some water to moisten his throat.

"Don't look at your mother being so harsh on you. She's actually doing it for your own good. Back then, she only temporarily allowed you to stay at Grandma's house. Because of my request, she did n' t pick you up as soon as possible. She felt that she had neglected to educate you for so many years. She hoped that you would become a talent."

His words were serious and sincere. I could tell that he was trying to help his mother speak up!

I mechanically lifted the corner of my mouth and smiled without feeling at all." I haven't seen you guys in ten years. It's normal to be a little alienated, but look at how you guys did it. One of you forcefully suppressed me, the other always alienated me, but under the same roof, you're like a stranger. How could there be family ties?"

My tone was calm and calm, as if I was talking about a family matter. However, my father lowered his head and felt guilty.

"Yan Yan, I'm sorry... It's not that my father doesn't want to be close to you, it's your mother. She wants you to be independent and strong. She doesn't want you to be too dependent... I do n' t want to spoil you, but I owe your mother. I can't help it..."

So it was like that. In the end, I could only say these two words.

Perhaps Lu He's weakness was a wake-up call to Mother. She wanted to make me stronger, not only physically, but also mentally, so she did n' t want me to get close to her father. In her eyes, I couldn't be too close to Lu Chenjun, but Lu Chenjun people were small and big. There were plenty of ways to get close to me, and to her, the friendship between Lu Chenjun and my siblings was extraordinary...
