Chapter 421: Come Home with Me

Shu Yue picked up Tong Yao, and Tong Yao recognized at a glance that the person lying inside was her grandmother. The tears that she had been hiding for a long time burst out like a flood.

“Grandma, grandma!”

Tong Yao struggled to get down, but Shu Yue held her firmly and said, "The doctor said you can't move."

She knew Tong Yao wanted to get closer, so she bent down to let her see more clearly.

The coffin was filled with cold air, and the old man's face and hands were covered in white. Tong Yao stared at her beloved relative and cried inconsolably.

I wanted to speak, but I couldn't utter a word.

Knowing that she had exhausted all her strength in crying, she leaned on Shu Yue's shoulder and sobbed quietly. Only then did she feel quiet.

Shu Yue heard her say, "I'll never see grandma again, right?"

The tone was very aggrieved and afraid.

Shu Yue hugged her tighter, "Grandma is still in this world, but she is with you in a form that you can't see. Maybe she is standing next to us right now."

"I'm not a three-year-old child anymore. You can't fool me. Dead is dead, which means I will never see her again." Tong Yao felt more and more sad and couldn't help crying.

When she cried, her cheeks felt slightly hot. She thought it was Shu Yue who was wiping her tears, but when she opened her eyes, she saw nothing.

She thought of what Shu Yue said.

Maybe grandma is really still alive.

Fu Jingshen was recognized by the reporter and pestered for an interview. Fu Jingshen chatted briefly for a few words. When he saw Shu Yue coming out holding Tong Yao, he stopped this meaningless conversation.

"Sorry, I have something else to do. Let's end the interview here."

After saying that, Fu Jingshen walked quickly past the reporters and walked towards Shu Yue.

"How is she?"

Shu Yue dragged Tong Yao with one hand and pushed the wheelchair with the other. Seeing this, Fu Jingshen took Tong Yao from her and hugged her.

"I was tired of crying and fell asleep."

Tong Yao's eyes were swollen from crying. She was still dreaming and sobbing quietly even when she fell asleep.

“This incident was a big blow to her.”

"Life is unpredictable, and it's something we can't control."

After the farewell ceremony, Shu Yue got in the car and ran away to avoid being found by the media for interviews.

The bodies will be cremated and buried in a government-designated cemetery.

At that time Tong Yao woke up and Shu Yue took her there.

Tong Yao didn't cry this time. She took out the bag from her schoolbag and took out the strawberries inside.

The strawberries were wrapped in paper towels. When they were opened several days later, they were already half rotten.

She pouted, tried not to cry, placed the strawberries in front of the grave, said nothing, and asked Shu Yue to take her away.

As happy as she was on the way back to Nanjiang, she was as sad as she was now.

Tong Yao was sent back to Huaixiang Municipal Hospital for further treatment.

The medical expenses were all borne by Shuyue.

Since the farewell ceremony, Tong Yao has cooperated with the treatment without crying or making a fuss. Her recovery speed is actually much faster than before. After staying in the hospital for a week, the doctor said she could be discharged.

Shu Yue packed up her things for Tong Yao, while Tong Yao sat on the edge of the bed, staring at her.

"Sister Shuyue."

"Um?"

"Am I going to be sent to an orphanage?"

Hearing this, Shu Yue paused while packing her clothes and turned her head to look at Tong Yao.

"Why do you ask?"

Tong Yao lowered her head, looked at her toes, and whispered, "I don't have a father or a mother, and my grandmother is gone too, so I am an orphan, and orphans are supposed to be sent to welfare homes."

Shu Yue was somewhat moved, and stood up and walked towards her.

The shadow fell on her body, covering Tong Yao. She raised her head and met Shu Yue's eyes.

Shu Yue stared at her seriously, "I saved your life. If you want, you can follow me."

She saw too much of herself in Tong Yao.

When her parents died, her situation was similar to Tong Yao's. If she hadn't had her grandmother, she might have been the Tong Yao she is today. She would have been sent to an orphanage and grown up alone, with no relatives to protect her.

She still couldn't bear to abandon Tong Yao.

Anyway, I've saved her, so it doesn't matter if she has one more meal to eat.

Tong Yao stared at Shu Yue blankly, her mind completely confused.

"You don't want to follow me?"

Shu Yue asked.

Tong Yao immediately shook her head, "I'm a burden."

Shu Yue squatted down, reached out and touched her head, and said to her, "Why do you think so? You are so cute and obedient, how can you be a burden? Tong Yao, I didn't save you just to see you say such things. In a word, are you going with me or not?"

The second half of her sentence sounded a bit fierce, but Tong Yao was not afraid at all. Instead, she took the initiative to reach out and hug Shu Yue's neck.

"Sister Shuyue, thank you."

Shu Yue laughed, "It's no use just saying thank you verbally. You have to repay me with practical actions. If you come home with me, you have to study hard. I will have to rely on you for my old age."

"You and I are now the top student in the class. I want to get into the best university and find a job that can earn 100 million!"

"You are a very ambitious girl."

Shu Yue smiled and pinched her nose.

"Are you ready? We're leaving."

Fu Jingshen knocked on the door, and Shu Yue let go of her and went to get the packed clothes.

"Let's go."

Shu Yue reached out her hand to Tong Yao, and Tong Yao held her hand without hesitation.

It was already six o'clock in the evening when the plane landed in Beijing.

Mr. Bai specially sent a driver to pick them up.

"Dad, can you please be quiet and sit down and wait? The driver has already said he has picked them up. It will only take an hour from the airport to home. They will be back soon."

Zhou Lan felt helpless as she watched Mr. Bai pacing anxiously in front of her.

"As a mother, you don't have to be anxious at all. Yueyue has experienced life and death difficulties."

Mr. Bai snorted.

Zhou Lan and Qin Dayong looked at each other and sighed deeply.

"Yueyue has already reported that she is safe. She is fine, so we are not in a hurry. Please sit down."

When Zhou Lan was pulling Mr. Bai to sit down, there was a noise outside the house.

"Master, Miss Sun and Uncle Sun are back!"

Before his butt even touched the sofa, Mr. Bai stood up again and hurried to the door to greet people.

"Come on, slow down."

Shu Yue helped Tong Yao get out of the car, while Fu Jingshen took the suitcase from the driver and followed Shu Yue and the others.

“Yueyue!”

As soon as I reached the door, Mr. Bai came trotting over. He was so agile and didn't look like an old man at all.

"Grandpa."

Shu Yue called out sweetly.

"It's good that you're back." Seeing her rosy face, Mr. Bai finally felt relieved.

His eyes fell on Fu Jingshen again.

"Grandpa." He hasn't called him Uncle Bai since he got engaged to Shu Yue. There really is a generation gap between them.

"Xiao Fu, thank you for your hard work on Nanjiang's matter." Old Master Bai knew that Fu Jingshen was a thoughtful child. When Shu Yue got into trouble, he rushed to Nanjiang without caring about the danger.

"Hello, Grandpa."

When the child's tender voice was heard, Mr. Bai lowered his head and noticed that there was a little girl standing between the two of them.
