After the argument, Xu Yanshu stayed overnight at the company and did not meet with Xie Huanyu because they were responsible for different things.
This state lasted for three to five days until the anniversary of Xu's father's death.
Because the elderly woman insisted, Xu Yanshu had to go to the nursing home to pick up his grandmother first. When he arrived, Aunt Xu had already helped her get ready.
"Hey, why are you alone? Where's Huanyu?"
“She went on a business trip out of town. She hasn’t finished dealing with some things yet, so she can’t come back today,” Xu Yanshu said, taking the wheelchair from Aunt Xu and pushing her out. “We don’t know how long it will take, let’s go!”
Now that they've completely fallen out, Xie Huanyu naturally wouldn't make a special trip over again. He also didn't want the other person to come along, lest they suddenly start arguing and disturb his father's final moments of peace.
After settling his grandmother and Aunt Xu into the back seat, Xu Yanshu walked around to the front of the car and got into the driver's seat. Considering that his grandmother might not be able to handle it, he deliberately slowed down the car.
"Yan Shu, you and Xiao Lu are friends too, why haven't I heard you mention it before?"
Xiao Lu? Xu Yanshu was slightly taken aback before realizing that his grandmother was talking about Lu Huai. He was a little confused. "Grandma, why did you suddenly think of asking about this?"
"You don't know yet, but Xiao Lu came to see me again the day before yesterday, bringing a lot of nutritional supplements. He said that you are also good friends, and the three of you have a very good relationship!"
“Yes, Mr. Lu said that you were quite busy with work these past few days, so he asked him to come to the nursing home to see Grandma!” Aunt Xu nodded in agreement.
So what exactly does this person want to do?
Xu Yanshu cursed almost inaudibly, a deep unease rising within him.
Knowing that the troubles of the Lu family were related to him, Lu Huai was definitely trying to find ways to take revenge on him, and then he took the liberty of coming to the nursing home to get close to his grandmother at this critical moment.
This person has never had any bottom line when it comes to doing things; there's no guarantee he won't bring something up in front of Grandma...
Xu Yanshu unconsciously gripped the steering wheel tighter, realizing that he needed to have a serious talk with Lu Huai.
"Aunt Xu, Grandma needs to rest now. In the future, we shouldn't let too many people come into contact with her."
"And I hope that in the future, no matter who comes to visit Grandma, you will let me know in advance!"
It's a bit too hasty to think that he can get close to his grandmother just because he claims to be her friend. But since his grandmother is still here, he can't say anything too harsh.
"Yes, I know!"
"Look at him, he treats me like a child!" the old lady muttered under her breath.
Hearing this, Xu Yanshu was both amused and exasperated, and his heavy heart finally eased a little.
About twenty minutes later, the car arrived at Nanhai Cemetery.
As soon as Xu Yanshu unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car, he saw Xie Huanyu and Lu Huai standing not far away, and he frowned slightly.
Xie Huanyu walked forward on her own, opened the back door, and called out, "Grandma!"
"Yu'er? What are you doing here? Weren't you away on a business trip?" The old lady was overjoyed to see the person who suddenly appeared in front of her.
Xu Yanshu said he went on a business trip?!
Xie Huanyu couldn't help but glance at the man standing next to her, thinking to herself that this man's ability to lie was truly remarkable.
Her father had mentioned it several times before, so she naturally wouldn't forget today. She thought that Xu Yanshu wouldn't hold a grudge against her on such a day, but she didn't expect that he would actually pick up her grandmother by himself.
Instead of calling the other person out, Xie Huanyu explained, "Today is, after all, the anniversary of my father's death, so I had to be there. That's why I finished work early and came back."
Lu Huai took the wheelchair from Aunt Xu and pushed it to the car door. "Grandma, please sit down here?"
"Xiao Lu, you're here too?"
"Yes, I happened to need to talk to Huanyu about something, so I came along too!"
Not knowing why Xie Huanyu had brought Lu Huai along, Xu Yanshu suppressed her discomfort and quickly stepped forward to help her grandmother from the car into her wheelchair.
Seeing that Lu Huai seemed to be looking at him with a forced smile,
"Mr. Lu, I..."
"Huanyu, you guys go in, I'll wait for you here!" Lu Huai said to himself.
Xie Huanyu nodded slightly. She roughly knew what Xu Yanshu wanted to say, and felt even more annoyed.
Is he really so intolerant of Ah Huai that he has to give him a hard time even at a time like this?!
The group arrived at Xu's father's tombstone, and the atmosphere inevitably became somewhat somber.
After setting down the white daisies they had brought, Xu Yanshu and Xie Huanyu bowed three times to the tombstone according to etiquette before pushing their grandmother's wheelchair up there.
The old lady's eyes reddened, and she said with deep emotion, "My son, I've come to see you!"
"Don't worry, Yan Shu is a sensible and promising child, and Huan Yu is very filial to me. They have a very good relationship, and they might bring a baby to visit you next year!"
Xu Yanshu felt a little uncomfortable, not expecting his grandmother to say such things, and subconsciously turned his face away.
He least wanted to mention this failed marriage to his father, since he had already reminded himself that he had been blinded by love and acted recklessly.
Therefore, it can be said that he brought this situation upon himself.
Xie Huanyu was unusually depressed at this time. Even if she was ungrateful, she would not easily forget the life-saving grace, especially since the other party had treated her very well before his death.
People say you shouldn't care about the monk's face or the Buddha's face...
She glanced at the person next to her without making a sound, and began to reflect on whether she had gone too far in her previous attitude towards Xu Yan, to the point that he was now determined to divorce her.
"Yan Shu, come here!"
The old man beckoned to Xu Yanshu, who then stepped forward.
"Swear here today in front of me that no matter what happens in the future, you will put Huanyu first and love her forever!"
Xu Yanshu frowned in embarrassment, "Grandma, I..."
"Grandma, please don't make things difficult for Yan Shu. He's shy, and I know he'll treat me well," Xie Huanyu said at the right moment to defuse the situation, her coquettish expression making it seem like she was embarrassed. "You rarely come here, so why don't you spend some time talking to Dad first!"
Xu Yanshu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He could understand his grandmother's good intentions, but no matter what, he didn't want to lie in this kind of place.
"Okay, Lao Xu, you see, these two kids really have a good relationship."
"You don't need to worry about my frail body. Aunt Xu takes very good care of me, and my two children often visit me at the nursing home!"
"Son, don't worry, we're all doing well..." [Readers, get active! Please vote for this story and urge for more updates!]
