Song Ci noticed the important word 'emotionally excited'. She felt uneasy and asked in confusion: "Why is she so emotional?"
Han Zhan walked to a less crowded place and told Song Ci, "Beibei filed for divorce from Li Li today. Li Li rushed to the hospital to meet Beibei, but received a call from Aunt Li on the way. Li Li was upset and said some unpleasant things, which made Aunt Li angry."
Song Ci's heart sank.
Aunt Li was actually pissed off to death by Li Li...
Li Li must have felt so guilty. For the rest of his life, whenever he thought of his mother, he would think of the cause of her death. He would always have a guilty conscience.
Han Zhan told Song Ci, "I'm at the funeral home now. A lot of people have come here, and I have to help Li Li entertain them. Cibao, study hard with Teacher Shen and don't worry about things here. You've been preparing for this competition for three years, and you can't be distracted."
"...Um."
Han Zhan hung up the phone and went to help with Bei Zhan, but Song Ci couldn't calm down.
Aunt Li is dead.
Died so suddenly.
Song Ci couldn't accept the news, so she quickly called Su Beibei.
Su Beibei always keeps her cell phone next to her bed so that she can answer the call as soon as it rings.
Hearing the phone ringing, Su Beibei immediately picked up the phone. Seeing that the caller was Song Ci, the light in Su Beibei's eyes dimmed.
She answered the phone, "Song Song, have you arrived in Kyoto?"
Noticing Su Beibei's calm tone, Song Ci suspected she didn't know Li's mother had passed away. She was wary and asked cautiously, "Beibei, do you know what's going on with Li Li's mother?"
Song Ci didn't dare to say directly that Aunt Li was dead.
Su Beibei hummed softly before saying, "I know, she passed away."
Song Ci nodded quickly. "Yes, I just received a call from Han Zhan and learned that Aunt Li passed away. It was so sudden. Beibei, Aunt Li was fine this morning. How could she just pass away like that?"
Song Ci was testing Su Beibei to see if she knew the truth about Aunt Li's death.
Su Beibei said, "I don't know exactly, but she must have been offended by Li Li." Su Beibei sighed and said, "Song Song, he and I have really come to the end."
Song Ci: "Beibei..."
Su Beibei smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "I'm fine. Don't worry about me. Just focus on studying with your teacher and win a championship and show me."
"Beibei, don't laugh. It makes me uncomfortable."
Hearing Song Ci's words, Su Beibei, who had been holding her nerves together, suddenly broke down. She sobbed and cried on the other end of the phone, crying, saying, "Song Song, his mother is dead, and we are finished..."
"Song Song, I can't bear to leave him. I really can't bear to leave him."
"Song Song, I feel so bad. What should I do? What should we do?"
Song Ci listened quietly to Su Beibei's crying. She couldn't answer any of Su Beibei's questions. She prided herself on her eloquence, but at this moment, Song Ci felt that her words were too clumsy.
"Beibei," Song Ci told her, "I will always be your friend no matter what."
Su Beibei nodded, cried for a long time, and then hung up the phone.
The nurse saw Su Beibei's tear-stained face, and she sighed inwardly. "Madam." The nurse took a tissue and wiped away Su Beibei's tears, then asked, "Madam, would you like something to eat?"
Su Beibei asked her, "What time is it?"
"It's half past eight."
It was half past eight, four hours had passed since Li Li received the call and left.
But he didn't call Su Beibei.
It was Su Beibei who learned about Li's mother's death from her aunt.
Su Beibei knew that Li Li was busy, but not so busy that he didn't even have time to call her. He just couldn't accept his mother's death and didn't know how to face Su Beibei.
Su Beibei told the nurse: "I want to eat eggs and papaya stewed with snow frog." Her body is her own. No one will love her in the future, so she has to love herself.
No one can live without the love of others in their life.
That doesn't make sense.
The nurse was relieved when Su Beibei mentioned food. "Okay, okay, I'll make you some egg and brown sugar soup first, and then we'll have some papaya and snow frog stew later."
"Um"
...
On the morning of the third day, Li's mother was buried.
During these three days, he was busy dealing with his mother's funeral, greeting relatives and friends, and buying a cemetery for his mother. He was so busy that he didn't eat much, and naturally he looked haggard and thinner.
The aunt's family, who lived in Guangdong, had come all the way back. After the funeral, Dong Yu urged Li Li to get some sleep. "Look at you, you haven't had a good rest in days. You have such dark circles under your eyes. It hurts me just looking at you."
"You should go back and have some sleep, so that Li Ao and Bei Bei can rest assured."
During these three days, many people who didn't know the inside story asked Li Li: Where is your wife?
Li Li smiled flawlessly and simply said, "I was in a car accident and am recovering in the hospital."
Those who knew the inside story were smart enough not to mention Su Beibei's name in front of Li Li.
The news that Li Li had defended his wife and contradicted his mother, causing her death from a cerebral hemorrhage due to high blood pressure, had spread to all of their relatives and friends. Now, both Li Li and Su Beibei were accused of being unfilial.
Facing the condemnation in these people's eyes, Li Li did not explain. Because it was all true, it was indeed him who contradicted his mother and angered her to death.
