1075 Abrupt Change 4

Mu Yuchen spoke up before Mu Tangchuan could say anything.

Mu Lingshi sobbed as she looked at him with her teary eyes, “Brother, I…”

“Send them back first.”

“Yes, Master!”

…

Xi Xiaye’s eyes were swollen as well. She helped Mu Yinan out of the operating room.

The old man seemed to be beyond himself. With his eyes hollow, he looked like he had suddenly aged and was on the brink of collapsing.

“Don’t drag me away. I’m not going back. I’m staying here with your grandmother. She’ll be worried if she doesn’t see me when she wakes up. I’m not going back, I’m not going back…”

Mu Yinan struggled. He had totally lost himself as Wang Hui had passed away and he no longer had a sense of direction. He could not see anything else clearly.

Xi Xiaye helped him to stand as she tried to convince him, “Grandfather, please don’t be like this. Grandmother, she…”

Mu Yuchen came over and helped Mu Yinan to stand as well because he seemed like he was about to collapse at any moment. “Grandfather, are you alright?”

“Father!”

“Send Grandfather home for now and call Dr. Zhong to give him a check-up, I’ll handle things over here.”

…

After some time, Mu Tangchuan finally managed to bring Mu Yinan away, so only Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye were left in the corridor.

Xi Xiaye’s eyes darkened as she looked at the man beside her. There was pain in his eyes. “I know you’re sad. So am I, but…”

She could not continue her sentence. Her suppressed feelings finally came out as she looked into his dark, painful gaze. In their grief, they hugged each other tightly. He hugged her so hard, but she did not struggle at all. No words would match this hug at that moment. At least, that was how she felt.

Wang Hui was very kind to her, maybe even better than Mu Yuchen. The pain she felt from Wang Hui’s sudden death was no lesser than the others because—

After she had been receiving warmth and care from Wang Hui, the sudden loss of her was indeed painful and heartbreaking. She still could not believe it was real.

…

Both Su Chen and Zhou Zimo were stunned to find out that Wang Hui had passed away. They instantly left their work and went straight to Maple Residence.

It was very quiet inside Maple Residence, and the sky turned dark when the sun went down.

In the backyard of Maple Residence, Mu Yuchen just sat there quietly while Su Chen and Zhou Zimo sat beside him and traded glances. They looked worried and anxious as Mu Yuchen frowned and emptied a glass of wine. Although they wanted to say something, they had no idea what they should say.

Mu Yuchen put the glass onto the table and grabbed his cigarettes. He took a stick out and lit it up, then he tossed the lighter aside. “It might just be fate. I didn’t want to tell them the news because I was worried that they couldn’t take it, but today…life will give you what you fear the most.”

“My condolences, Ah Chen. We’re sad that your grandmother has passed away. I hope you’ll hang in there.”

Su Chen looked worried sick while Zhou Zimo nodded in agreement. “Su Chen is right. Chen, I don’t think your grandmother would want to see you guys being so sad too. It happened so quickly. I don’t think it has quite sunk in for us yet…”Read more chapter on NovelFull

“Grandmother has always been a strict person all her life. What happened to Aunt was a huge impact on her, something that she could not forget. Grandmother really doted on Aunt when she was younger. No one expected Aunt to disappoint her and bring her despair,” Mu Yuchen let out a puff as he said.

“Your grandmother would have never guessed your aunt had been protecting Gu Qiwu, huh?” Zhou Zimo sighed.

“It has always been a taboo to talk about my aunt in the family. I thought it would be better to tell them earlier so that they could be prepared when the whole thing is exposed. I underestimated the impact of this matter on Grandmother.”

“Ah Chen, you can’t bring a person back to life, so you should clear your thoughts now. I’ve arranged some people to take care of your grandmother’s funeral. She was a military leader back then, so a memorial service is going to be unavoidable. I believe the media will find out about it very soon. I heard that you told Li Si to lock down the news for now. Do you have any plan in mind?” Su Chen asked Mu Yuchen who was pouring himself another glass of wine.

“It just happened so quickly. I wanted to settle everything and avoid the rumors from spreading. After the arrangements are done, people will know Grandmother passed away due to sudden cardiac arrest. I hope she can rest in peace soon.”

Mu Yuchen frowned, and his freshly refilled glass was emptied once again.

“Don’t drink too much. You don’t look very well. Stay sober to handle your grandmother’s funeral. Is your grandfather alright?” Zhou Zimo asked.

“He almost broke down when Grandmother passed away,” Mu Yuchen said quietly.

The two of them threw him worried glances.

“They were so in love with each other. It must be tough for him to accept her death. Zimo and I will head over and visit him later. The memorial service will probably be the day after tomorrow, so get some good rest and leave everything else to Zimo and me.” Su Chen was concerned as he looked at Mu Yuchen.

Mu Yuchen put the cigarette into the ashtray, then he refilled his glass again as he said, “I’m fine. We can’t avoid what’s about to come anyway.”

“But you shouldn’t just take it as it is. This is all because of Gu Qiwu!” Zhou Zimo growled.
