Chapter 2089 The Scenery in the Future

Chen Yuan said: "My mother said that this time it was thanks to you that she was able to enlighten her."

Cheng Xiaoyu then realized that it must be Shi's mother who told Chen Yuan about the conversation she had with Shi's mother alone on the day she tried on the wedding dress.

She thought that Shi's mother must have had the idea of ​​remarrying a long time ago, but sometimes people tend to stay where they are. At such times, a few more words from outsiders could help her take a step forward.

But in the final analysis, the step that Shi's mother took on her own initiative was the most crucial one.

Cheng Xiaoyu lay on Shi Chenyuan's shoulder, feeling that he was particularly relaxed and gentle tonight, and even the smell of alcohol on his body was full of pleasure.

She took a deep breath and then laughed.

"What are you grinning about?" Shen Yuan asked.

Xiaoyu smiled and said, "If you are happy, I am happy."

…

Shi's mother and father stayed in Haicheng for two days, and then went to Jiangcheng together to visit Shi Chenyuan's grandfather.

Then the two flew back to the winery together.

However, before leaving Haicheng, Xiaoyu, Shi Chenyuan, and Rong Ye went to the airport to see them off.

Shi's father said to Shi Chenyuan: "Before your wedding with Xiaoyu, don't disturb your mother and me. We are going on a honeymoon."

Shi Chenyuan smiled and nodded.

Rong Ye took the opportunity to say, "Dad, I want a younger brother."

The mother smiled and hit her youngest son: "You are talking nonsense. The important thing is to find us a daughter-in-law as soon as possible."

Dad said, "If you don't know how to find one yourself, ask your brother to introduce one to you."

Rong Ye immediately declared, "It's not that I don't know how to find a partner, I'm just not in the marriage phase right now! Anyway, please don't get involved in this matter."

Dad Shi was speechless and Mom Shi looked worried.

Shi Chenyuan sneered: "Who wants to care about you?"

In this way, the Shi family's life finally returned to a comfortable and happy track.

However, just when Xiaoyu was sighing about the peaceful years, bad news came from the hospital.

It was a Friday afternoon. Cheng Xiaoyu received a call from Yan Hao while she was at work, saying that Aunt Yan was critically ill.

She dropped the work at hand and rushed to the hospital immediately.

Shi Chenyuan accompanied her to the hospital.

Yan Hao sat in the corridor with red eyes.

As soon as Cheng Xiaoyu saw Yan Hao's expression, she roughly understood Aunt Yan's situation.

Her nose felt sore, tears welled up in her eyes, and then she ran to Yan Hao.

"How is Auntie?"

He looked at Xiaoyu and said in a hoarse voice, "Waiting for you."

Cheng Xiaoyu wiped her tears and looked at Shi Chenyuan.

Shi Chenyuan hugged her shoulders and said, "I'll wait for you outside."

"Um……"

Cheng Xiaoyu and Yan Hao walked into the ward together.

She knew that this would be the last time she and Yan Hao would play boyfriend and girlfriend in front of Aunt Yan.

In fact, she hadn't been to the hospital for several days. Every time she wanted to see Aunt Yan, Aunt Yan would not let her come, saying that her condition was stable and someone was taking care of her, so she didn't need to worry about her.

In addition, Cheng Xiaoyu was a little busy with work, so she only greeted him over the phone.

She never imagined that when they met again, Aunt Yan would be on her deathbed.

Later, what Aunt Yan said to her and Yan Hao in the ward finally solved the confusion in her heart.

She understood why Aunt Yan didn't want to see her during this period...

I came to the bedside and called Aunt Yan softly twice.

Aunt Yan opened her eyes and looked at her gently, her eyes full of love for her, just like the first time she met Aunt Yan.

Then Aunt Yan held her hand and said thank you to her.

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't know why Aunt Yan suddenly thanked her.

But then I heard Aunt Yan say, "Thank your boyfriend for me too."

Cheng Xiaoyu was stunned and looked at Yan Hao. His face was also full of astonishment and panic. It was obvious that he didn't know what was going on either.

Aunt Yan smiled and continued, "Whether it was helping me find an expert or accompanying you in telling this lie, I'm really grateful to him."

"Auntie..." Cheng Xiaoyu just spoke and tears fell.

Aunt Yan reached out to wipe her tears, a gentle smile still on her face: "Silly child, I've watched you grow up since you were a child. You are like my own daughter. I know you found a very good boyfriend, and I'm happy for you..."

Later, Aunt Yan spoke a lot to her and Yan Hao intermittently.

It turned out that on the day Aunt Yan gave her the Xiuhe suit, a doctor accidentally let slip that Xiaoyu was the daughter-in-law of the Shi family.

After hearing this, Aunt Yan felt nothing but guilt.

She knew that Xiaoyu and Yanhao lied to her that they had reunited in order to make her happy.

But the more this happened, the more she felt sorry for Xiaoyu.

How could you let your children do such a difficult thing just because you have a terminal illness?

But she also understood that Xiaoyu and Yanhao also meant well.

They hope she can cheer up and focus on her treatment.

Since this was their expectation, Aunt Yan did not reveal this matter in order not to make them worry.

But he really couldn't let Xiaoyu come to the hospital and pretend to be his future daughter-in-law anymore.

Aunt Yan said that Yan Hao had hurt Xiao Yu before, but Xiao Yu had to pretend to reconcile with Yan Hao for her sake, which was too cruel for Xiao Yu.

What's more, Xiaoyu has her own boyfriend, and if Xiaoyu comes to the hospital in her old age, it will inevitably destroy their relationship.

So she refused Xiaoyu's visit to the hospital.

Listening to Aunt Yan say this, Cheng Xiaoyu didn't know what to say. She just felt that the tears in her eyes could not stop flowing.

Then Aunt Yan looked at her son Yan Hao with a more apologetic and deeper look.

"Don't feel sorry for me, Mom. Although I always told you to get Xiaoyu back, now that you've missed her, just move on... From now on, Mom won't be able to accompany you anymore. No one will nag you. You have to learn to take care of yourself. If you meet a good girl, you have to cherish her, okay?"

Yan Hao nodded silently and buried his face in his mother's palm, tears flowing through his mother's fingers.

…

Two days later, it was Aunt Yan’s funeral.

Cheng Xiaoyu and Shi Chenyuan came to the tombstone together and laid flowers for their aunt.

She had hardly slept in the past two days. Whenever she closed her eyes, she would remember what Aunt Yan said before she died, and she would remember the situation on the day she died.

In that orange-yellow ward bathed in the setting sun, she deeply felt for the first time how insignificant and helpless people are in the face of death.

The feeling of helplessness of trying desperately to hold on to something but only being able to watch her life slip away made her feel at a loss.

Shi Chenyuan took her hand, walked away from the tombstone, walked to an open space away from the mourners, and helped her wipe away her tears.

"Be good, don't cry. If you continue crying, I will feel bad."

She put her arms around Shi Chenyuan's waist and whispered into his chest, "I really want to go back to my childhood, back to when my parents were still young..."

There was no death then, only a seemingly endless childhood.

"I don't agree." Shi Chenyuan said.

"Hmm?" She looked up.

"I didn't know you at that time, so you were not allowed to go back."

Cheng Xiaoyu was amused by his overly serious expression, and then two big tears welled up in her eyes, "I was just talking, it's not like I can really go back..."

He was silent for a while, then said, "The past was beautiful, but our future lies in the future. Let's look forward together, okay?"

She nodded vigorously and wiped away her tears.

When she raised her wrist, she accidentally revealed the jade bracelet given to her by Aunt Yan.

Shi Chenyuan picked up her wrist and asked, "Aren't you going to give it back?"
