Chapter 1091: The Day Before (1)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Mu residence felt a lot quieter after w.a.n.g Hui pa.s.sed away.
Xi Xiaye could sense a stifling atmosphere that made it difficult to breathe when she entered the living room.
Thud!
The sound of heavy footsteps came from the staircase, so she looked over and noticed Mu Lings.h.i.+ coming down. Her red eyes seemed swollen from all the crying while her expression was pale and she looked exhausted.
Worried, Xi Xiaye quickly went over and held her arm. “You look terrible. Maybe you shouldn’t move around too much. I’ll help you back to your room to get some sleep. Be mindful of the baby inside you as you’ll affect it if you don’t rest well.”
Mu Lings.h.i.+ shook her head as she sobbed. Her voice became so hoa.r.s.e that it sounded different than usual. “I’m fine. I can’t sleep. I see Grandmother’s face as soon as I close my eyes. She’s in pain, but she couldn’t say anything…Weren’t things supposed to get better? Why did this happen?”
After several days of exhaustion and sleepless nights, Mu Lings.h.i.+ was on the brink of breaking down. Ah Mo had been helping out with the funeral, so Ji Zitong was in charge of accompanying Mu Lings.h.i.+ for the past two days. However, Su Chen and Ji Zitong had just gone back home not too long ago.
“We can only accept it now. I don’t think Grandmother can rest in peace if you’re like this. She was extremely concerned about your health when she was still around, wasn’t she? Try not to overthink. I’ll get you back to your room and I’ll call you when dinner’s ready,” Xi Xiaye said firmly but gently.
“But…”
“No buts unless you want to make everyone worried about you! No matter what, taking care of yourself is the best thing to do for Grandmother’s sake right now!” Xi Xiaye smiled at Mu Lings.h.i.+ as she gave her belly a gentle pat. “Who knows? Grandmother might have turned into a star and be watching over you and your baby!”
Mu Lings.h.i.+ put one hand on her belly as she stared blankly at Xi Xiaye like a lost girl who could not find her way home.
Xi Xiaye nodded. “She’s gone, but our memories of her remain.”
Mu Lings.h.i.+ then gave up trying to convince Xi Xiaye, so she went back to bed and lay down. Xi Xiaye waited until she fell asleep before she left the room quietly.
“How is she? Is she asleep?” When Xi Xiaye left the room, she heard Ah Mo’s anxious voice.
“She just fell asleep. You have to take good care of her. She’s lost so much weight in just a few days. It’ll definitely affect both her and the child if this goes on. Stay at home and spend some time with her. I’m sure she feels pressured and might get depression if she doesn’t handle it well. I’ll talk to your brother regarding work.” Xi Xiaye was notably concerned.
Ah Mo was stunned for a moment. “Alright then. Thank you, Sister-in-law.”
“Let’s go down. I doubt she’ll wake up anytime soon. Where’s your brother?” She was heading down the stairs.
“He’s talking to father in the study room. By the way, Elder CEO Shen called just now. Brother took the call, but he didn’t tell him about Grandmother,” Ah Mo reminded her.
Pausing, she then nodded. “Alright.”
…
Mu Tangchuan and Mu Yuchen had a long conversation in the study room and only came out when dinner was ready. However, they both did not look very pleased.
All of them were not in the mood for a meal. They barely had the appet.i.te after several bites. Mu Yinan and Mu Lings.h.i.+ did not come downstairs. Since it was difficult for the two of them to fall asleep after going through such a heartbreaking experience, the others did not want to bother them.Read more chapter on v ip novel. com
A servant came over and informed Xi Xiaye that Zhuang Shurong wanted to see her in the study room after dinner. Before heading to the study, Xi Xiaye told Aunt Fang to pack up for Mu Xiaocheng.
Knock knock!
Zhuang Shurong was looking at a jade bracelet carefully when Xi Xiaye knocked on the door.
“Come in!” she replied as she straightened her back.
Xi Xiaye carefully opened the door. “Mother, you called for me?”
“Yes, come here and have a seat!” Zhuang Shurong had a gentle expression as she waved her hand, inviting her over.
Xi Xiaye went over and sat down on the chair before the table. “Mother, what’s the matter?”
Sighing, Zhuang Shurong reached out to grab a rectangular box and placed it before Xi Xiaye as she spoke in a serious tone, “This is a gift from your grandmother. Ah Chen told her to leave some for you before. She always kept it in mind. She wanted to give it to you during the New Year, but who would’ve thought that she couldn’t wait that long? These are your grandmother’s favorite. She’s been keeping these after your grandfather gave them to her for their wedding.
“Your grandmother separated these into two sets: one for you, and the other for Lings.h.i.+. Keep it.” Zhuang Shurong’s eyes were peaceful as she smiled. “It must’ve been tough for all of you. She pa.s.sed away so suddenly, no one saw it coming!”
Xi Xiaye smiled gently as she looked at the box before her. “I think you should keep it, Mother. It’s too valuable.”
“It’s yours. Of course, you should keep it. It’s up to you what you do with them but keep them!” Zhuang Shurong then continued, “Please help look after Lings.h.i.+ for the next few days. I’m really worried about her.”
“Don’t worry, Mother, I will!”
“Gu Lingsha and Qi Feng’s wedding is coming soon. I’m sure you’ve received their invitation, haven’t you?” Zhuang Shurong suddenly asked.
Xi Xiaye was startled for a moment before nodding. “Mmm, I b.u.mped into Qi Feng outside the supermarket some time ago. He gave one to me and one to Ah Chen. It seems like it’s going to be pretty grand.”
“Of course, it will be. The Qi family isn’t just a n.o.body.”
