After experiencing a previous turmoil, Gu Xiwan had a psychological shadow on the necklace. She did not look at the necklace again, but finally chose a pair of jade bracelets for her daughter.
After Gu Xiwan selected the pair of jade bracelets, Chu Lingjue wanted to pay again.
Gu Xiwan smiled and said,
"Didn't Sheng Xinyi already transfer the money you paid for that necklace to me? The price of this pair of jade bracelets is more than two thousand yuan cheaper than the previous necklace, so this time I will use the money Sheng Xinyi transferred to me to pay for it. .”
Having said this, his eyes flashed and he continued,
"However, I won't pay you back the remaining two thousand yuan. I'll just keep it as money for our daughter's milk powder."
Chu Lingjue gently pinched Gu Xiwan's face, his eyes filled with thick ink showed the slightest hint of pampering.
"Only your skin."
Gu Xiwan's cheeks turned red.
She was stubborn at heart, so even though Chu Lingjue had given her a bank card a long time ago, she never refused to spend Chu Lingjue's money.
But now, it's different.
As the relationship between Gu Xiwan and Chu Lingjue deepened day by day, and the child in her belly gradually grew up, she became more and more dependent on Chu Lingjue, and naturally no longer had any relationship with Chu Lingjue in terms of money and property. Jue made the distinction so clearly.
This was the first time Gu Xiwan took the initiative to ask for Chu Lingjue's money.
From now on, Gu Xiwan will no longer be polite to Chu Lingjue.
As soon as Gu Xiwan paid the money, Butler Cheng called Chu Lingjue.
Chu Lingjue's eyes were slightly warm before because he had just spoken to Gu Xiwan. After answering the call, his whole face suddenly became as cold as ice, making people afraid to look directly at him.
Seeing Chu Lingjue's appearance, a bad premonition came over Gu Xiwan's heart. She hurriedly asked,
"Did something happen?"
"It's about Yiyi's family..."
At this moment, Chu Lingjue, who had always been very good at hiding his emotions, had his Adam's apple rolled and his voice trembled slightly.
"Yiyi's mother... passed away!"
Gu Xiwan's hands trembled in shock, and the mobile phone she had just used to pay fell to the ground with a thud.
…
Happy House No. 8 single-family villa.
The home of Sheng Xinyi’s parents.
Because something happened at home, relatives would come over at any time. The door to the yard was opened as wide as possible, and Chu Lingjue drove directly to the main building.
As soon as Chu Lingjue and Gu Xiwan got out of the car, a servant came up to them and said respectfully,
"Mr. Chu, everyone is in the old lady's bedroom. Go quickly."
Chu Lingjue didn't say anything. He just took Gu Xiwan's hand and walked into the hall with Gu Xiwan.
At this time, the door of bedroom 101 was open, and Gu Xiwan saw a person lying on the bed in the bedroom from a distance——
Gu Xiwan had been here once with Butler Cheng, and she recognized that this person was Sheng Xinyi's mother——
Sheng Xinyi sat on the bedside, holding her mother's right hand with both hands, and couldn't help crying;
Butler Cheng stood behind Sheng Xinyi and looked at Sheng Xinyi's mother's face with tears in his eyes;
In addition, there were two men and three women standing beside the bed, all remaining silent.
Chu Lingjue came to the bedside, looked at Sheng Xinyi's mother and was silent for a long time, then said lightly,
"When I came to see my aunt yesterday, she was still in good health. What's going on?"
Shen Zijun was among those two men and three women.
At this moment, Shen Zijun came to Chu Lingjue and sighed,
"Since the tragedy many years ago, although the old lady has become mentally disturbed, her physical condition has always been good. I also heard about today's accident from the servant who was responsible for taking care of the old lady -
This morning, the servant was pushing the old lady to wander in the yard. The old lady suddenly stood up from the wheelchair as if she was having a flashback, and she cried sadly like a normal person and wanted to see the photos of Han Han before she was alive.
Ling Jue, you also know that after Han Han was killed, the master and the old lady kept Han Han's room intact. Han Han's daily necessities and photos were all in that room, so the servant had to help the old man. People go to Hanhan's room.
After the old lady walked into Hanhan's room, she cried heartbrokenly while holding Hanhan's photo before her death. The servant kept trying to persuade her, but she still kept crying, just like the day Hanhan was killed...
There were no tissues in Hanhan's room to wipe the old lady's tears. The servant temporarily left the old lady alone in Hanhan's room to get tissues. As a result, when the servant returned to Hanhan's room, he saw the old lady standing by the window. Before, the photo of Hanhan that the old lady had been holding in her hand fell out of the window for some reason. The old lady immediately climbed up the window sill to grab the photo without caring about it, and she had been sitting in a wheelchair all year round. It had been a long time since she had stood up, and her body was not as flexible as before. She accidentally fell off the window sill.
well!
Although it was only the second floor, the sky had no eyes. Unfortunately, the old lady broke her neck and stopped breathing on the spot. After the ambulance arrived at the scene, the medical staff inspected it and shook their heads and said that the old lady had lost her vital signs. They gave her to the old lady. Prepare for the funeral. "
Shen Zijun tried to speak as concisely as possible.
However, Gu Xiwan was still able to reconstruct the scene of Sheng Xinyi's mother's accident through her mind.
She stared blankly at the graceful and quiet face on the bed.
When Gu Xiwan met Sheng Xinyi's mother for the first time, she felt that Sheng Xinyi's mother was very similar to her own mother. They were both in a trance and full of holes in their hearts, but they were still kind, kind, and amiable...
Gu Xiwan sincerely hoped that Sheng Xinyi's mother would be well.
Unexpectedly, things in the world are so unpredictable!
Chu Lingjue said no more.
However, when Shen Zijun talked about the cause of her mother's death, Sheng Xinyi, who had been crying silently before, became even more sad and unbearable. She lay on her mother and burst into tears.
Although Gu Xiwan hated Sheng Xinyi, she couldn't help but feel sad at this moment.
Sheng Xinyi is the most brilliant drama queen Gu Xiwan has ever seen.
Gu Xiwan knew that every tear Sheng Xinyi shed in front of her and Chu Lingjue could not escape the suspicion of acting.
But this time, Sheng Xinyi was definitely not acting!
And look at Chu Lingjue——
Chu Lingjue has been looking at Sheng Xinyi's mother's face for a moment. This king who always hides his true emotions deeply has his Adam's apple rolling violently and his ice-crystal eyes filled with tears... His face has always been perfect. There were also cracks on Bing Mian's face.
Just looking at Chu Lingjue, Gu Xiwan felt as if her heart had been stabbed.
Sheng Xinyi's younger brother named Hanhan died because of Chu Lingjue.
Sheng Xinyi's mother became immortal because of Hanhan's death. Now, Sheng Xinyi's mother lost her life because she missed Hanhan...
Who can imagine how much self-blame and pain Chu Lingjue is suffering at this moment?
Gu Xiwan couldn't bear to look at Chu Lingjue anymore. It was not convenient for her to talk in such an occasion. All she could do was to gently hold Chu Lingjue's hand and lean against him side by side, trying to give him some warmth. .
Sure enough, Chu Lingjue's Adam's apple was no longer rolling so violently, but his body was still shaking and his eyes were filled with tears.
At this time, Sheng Xinyi cried more and more sadly, and even breathing became difficult.
"Miss!"
Shen Zijun hurriedly walked to the bed, patted Sheng Xinyi's trembling back with his hand, and comforted her lovingly,
"There is no resurrection after death. What's more, the old lady has been living and dying for ten years. It is rare for her to wake up today. Her death sober is not a relief for her. The old lady is kind-hearted and she will definitely go there. Reunite with your brother in heaven, and they will live well together in heaven now, miss, don’t be sad.”
However, these words had no effect on Sheng Xinyi.
Sheng Xinyi's breathing became increasingly difficult, as if she would lose her breath at any time.
Shen Zijun's anxious forehead was covered with sweat, and he continued to persuade,
"Miss, don't forget that you are pregnant now. If you do this, you may have fetal motility. Don't look at the old lady anymore. I will help you back to your room to rest."
As he spoke, he forcibly helped Sheng Xinyi up and left.
"go away!"
Sheng Xinyi pushed Shen Zijun away and said with a choked voice,
"I...wu...I want to stay with my mother...I'm not going anywhere...wuwu..."
Knowing that Sheng Xinyi loved her mother very much, Housekeeper Cheng and several others didn't know how to persuade her.
Shen Zijun had no choice but to look at Chu Lingjue pleadingly.
"Ling Jue, when the lady lost her temper in the past, you were the only one who could coax her. I beg you, just this time, stop caring about your wife's feelings and come here to coax the lady!"
Chu Lingjue was unmoved.
He didn't even look at Sheng Xinyi, but still looked at Sheng Xinyi's mother's face and said sadly,
"She is not the only one who is sad. Besides, everyone here can comfort her, it doesn't have to be me."
"..." Shen Zijun never expected Chu Lingjue to be so ruthless. Shen Zijun stared at Chu Lingjue blankly and was speechless for a moment.
Even Gu Xiwan was stunned.
She could not have imagined that even though the guilt towards Sheng Xinyi's family was making Chu Lingjue's heart feel like a knife at the moment, even though Chu Lingjue had promised her to keep his distance from Sheng Xinyi, he would still be so cold and distant towards Sheng Xinyi in such a special situation... …
