Zhan Zeye ran over and supported the old leader.
"What's going on?"
The old leader heard Zhan Zeye's voice and saw Tang Qiyue. The old man, who was always calm, now had longing in his eyes.
Tang Qiyue knew what he meant and hurried forward to check.
Can……
The old leader's wife was no longer breathing.
It wasn't just paused, but a long time had passed and it was obvious that there was no chance of survival.
She shook her head at Zhan Zeye.
Zhan Zeye was shocked. He didn't expect to see such a scene.
If she had a breath left, Tang Qiyue could use the system to save people, but in the current situation, there was really no way.
The old leader already knew this result, but when he saw Tang Qiyue shaking her head, he had to accept it.
"Why on earth? Hasn't Auntie always been in good health? Why did she suddenly..."
Zhan Zeye watched as the stretcher had been lifted onto the car, and he knew where the person was being taken without asking.
The old leader did not accompany us, one reason being that it was difficult for him to get out, and the other being that this was a formal procedure.
Someone went to keep an eye on the subsequent procedures, and the old leader dejectedly invited Zhan Zeye and Tang Qiyue into the house.
His wife died, but the old leader's reaction made Tang Qiyue feel indifferent.
Shouldn't I follow?
I didn't understand and didn't want to ask, so I had to follow Zhan Zeye into the house.
The police officer poured the tea and left, leaving the space for them.
The old leader rubbed his face and said, "Your aunt took her own life!"
With just this one sentence, Tang Qiyue knew that something must have happened, but she was not in a position to ask. However, Zhan Zeye did not have so many concerns and asked directly.
"What's going on? Why is my aunt so upset? Is it because of you?"
Zhan Zeye still cares a lot about the old leader's wife. After all, he was taken care of a lot by her back then.
The old leader shook his head: "No, it's about her family's affairs. It's too big a matter. She was afraid of implicating me. Plus, she and I have never had children, so she has no worries. She couldn't think straight for a while!"
Zhan Zeye and Tang Qiyue were both stunned.
How big a thing could make my aunt give up her life so decisively?
The old leader rubbed his face and said, "You will know about this sooner or later. Those people will not let go of this opportunity!"
After his wife died, the old leader had to leave here.
This is the freedom his wife bought for him with her life.
The old leader smiled bitterly: "Your aunt is always like this. She never discusses any decision with me. She thinks she is being very good to me, but she doesn't know whether I want her or not!"
The two of them have no children and support each other throughout their lives. They are a couple that everyone envies. However, no one knows that their private interactions are more like mutual respect. It is not love at all, let alone family affection.
The old leader looked at Tang Qiyue and missed his wife even more.
"In her will, she wouldn't let me see her off, wouldn't let me attend her funeral, and wouldn't even let me build a grave for her. She just wanted me to take her ashes to the beach and scatter them in the sea!"
No blame!
Tang Qiuyue now understood that it was not that the old leader did not want to accompany her, but it was his will.
"Now that you're back, wait a few days and I'll make some arrangements. I'll go back to the island with you!"
Zhan Zeye was shocked by the old leader's words.
You have to know that the old leader's identity is very special. He could have gone further. Now that he has voluntarily withdrawn, it means that he has given up any further possibility.
It seems that his wife's sudden departure was a huge blow to him.
"What I've been pursuing in my life is a harmonious and normally developing society. I used to want your aunt to accompany me to see it, but now she's gone. I don't know how many years I can live, so I don't want to struggle here anymore!"
The old leader wanted to leave with them, and it was definitely impossible for him to leave the next day. Tang Qiyue and Zhan Zeye could only postpone their plan.
The old leader cannot attend his wife's funeral, so Zhan Zeye must participate and even take charge of the entire funeral as his adopted son.
He took the initiative to bring this up.
Although the old leader has no children, he does have nephews and nieces. Each of their little thoughts is obvious, and he doesn't want those people to get involved.
This is why Zhan Zeye's adopted son took charge of the funeral.
As Zhan Zeye's wife, Tang Qiyue naturally had to go along.
She was not very familiar with these procedures, but fortunately there was someone to guide her. The two of them only needed to receive guests who came to pay their respects and keep an eye on the procedures. The rest was handled by dedicated personnel.
According to my aunt's wishes, everything was kept simple and the funeral ended three days later.
There was no burial, but a small box containing the ashes was placed in front of the old leader.
The old leader's already thin black hair completely disappeared.
His wife's departure was a great blow to him.
Since they were leaving with the old leader, there was no need to take the train, so there was naturally a car to take them away.
They picked up Zhan's mother and left the city in a car.
Mrs. Zhan and Brother Zhan's family standing at the door were all shocked, not to mention the neighbors.
You know, the old leader used to appear frequently in newspapers, but now he comes to them to fight his mother.
No matter what people think, after seeing this scene, they will understand that Brother Zhan's family has completely turned around because of Zhan Zeye, and their future life will definitely not be bad.
This is also what the old leader expressed his gratitude to Zhan Zeye for doing this. The little protection he left for his elder brother can be regarded as a kind of gratitude.
Along the way, Zhan's mother was originally in the same car with the old leader, but she was too nervous. It was Tang Qiyue who was afraid that something might happen to her because she was too nervous, so she asked to go with Tang's mother to the car behind.
"Oh my god, I couldn't breathe in that car!"
Zhan's mother patted her chest and complained to Tang Qiyue in a low voice as soon as she got in the car.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to chat with the old leader, but he is a high-ranking official with too strong aura, so even if she tries to restrain herself, it won’t work.
Tang Qiuyue handed Zhan's mother a kettle and asked her to drink some water.
She could understand, but there was no way to relieve it.
Zhan Mu is just an ordinary person, and the old leader himself has an aura that has been developed from many years of high-ranking life and cannot be changed. In addition, he has just lost his wife, so it is indeed not suitable for chatting.
Fortunately, Zhan Zeye was with her in the car in front, so she just had to concentrate on accompanying Zhan's mother.
After Zhan's mother left, the old leader teased Zhan Zeye: "It seems that I scared your mother. When we take a break, you must explain it to her properly. Don't misunderstand that I am an old man who is difficult to talk to!"
Zhan Zeye tutted, "You still care about this? Oh, by the way, Old Qin, Old Gong, and my uncle are all busy on the island. You might really become an old man if you go there!"
Old Chief: ...
He somewhat regretted going to the island.
He knew the situation on the island and knew that once he went there, there would be many problems that he would need to deal with.
"You are my adopted son. If there is any problem, I will come to you. I don't care!"
He retreated into the background.
Zhan Zeye snorted, "It's okay to fool others, but who can you fool among these three?"
