Wen Yi walked up to Gu Huaixu and said, "I need to book a plane ticket back."
She couldn't bear to let her grandparents be taken to the crematorium alone and then abandoned there, becoming two unclaimed urns.
Gu Huaixu remained silent in the face of Wen Yi's request, but Luo Yi, who had been standing at the door, couldn't bear it any longer.
He entered the room and said, "Second Madam, please understand that tonight's banquet is a matter of face for the entire Imperial Garden. If you don't go, the Imperial Garden and Second Master will lose face. Who will take responsibility for that?"
Luo Yi was very angry.
In his eyes, Wen Yi was not only cold-blooded and ruthless, but also utterly useless, and now, at this crucial moment, he was going to let him down.
As soon as Wen arrived in the capital, Luo Yi had a million opinions. Now, things have completely collapsed and something bad has happened.
Tomorrow, Second Master will be attending the banquet all by himself; he'll definitely be ridiculed to death by that woman.
"I'm sorry, but I have to go back."
"What's the use of 'sorry'..."
"Luo Yi".
Gu Huaixu's warning gaze swept over him, and Luo Yi had no choice but to stop.
"Go out and arrange for a private plane to take her back," Gu Huaixu ordered.
Luo Yi was shocked, "Second Master..."
Gu Huaixu's warning look was already the limit of his patience. Despite his immense displeasure, Luo Yi could only glare fiercely at Wen Yi before turning and leaving to do his work.
Wen Yi was somewhat surprised that the other party had so readily arranged a private jet to send her back, and a strange emotion welled up inside her.
For a moment, looking at the man in front of her, Wen Yi felt guilty.
"I'm sorry," Wen Yi apologized.
"Apologize for what?" Gu Huaixu laughed. "Apologize for letting you stay?"
"No!" Wen Yi's attitude was firm.
She had to go back; she absolutely couldn't let her grandparents be sent from the hospital to the crematorium and cremated like that.
"In that case, stop with the useless talk."
Gu Huaixu turned and left.
Twenty minutes later.
Wen Yi boarded a private plane back to Haicheng.
To Wen Yi's surprise, Gu Er Ye followed her onto the plane right after she boarded.
"Don't you have a banquet..."
"My wife isn't home, what am I supposed to do there?"
Gu Huaixu smiled and casually reached out to remove the leaves stuck in Wen Yi's hair before walking past her toward the lounge.
Wen Yi stood still, her mind filled with the image of Second Master Gu bending down to remove the leaves from her leaves. She seemed to see the shadow of Gu Huaixu in that image.
Wen Yi felt that she might miss A Xu too much, so much so that she always saw A Xu's shadow in Master Gu.
In Wen Yi's opinion, even if it weren't Second Master Gu by her side now, but someone else, she would still unconsciously see Gu Huaixu as a shadow.
When you're missing someone terribly, everyone you see is a shadow of that person.
Otherwise, could it be that Second Master Gu was wearing a mask and was actually Gu Huaixu in disguise?
That's ridiculous.
As the plane took off, Wen Yi was still fantasizing that perhaps Second Master Gu was actually Gu Huaixu, impersonating Second Master Gu for some reason.
But then she fantasized that if Second Master Gu were Gu Huaixu, Wen Yi would go crazy.
That would mean that Wen Yi had been dragged into a trap by Gu Huaixu, a terrible trap.
It was exactly 9 PM.
Wen arrived at the hospital alone.
Xiao Kongkong was already waiting at the hospital and told Wen Yi where her maternal grandparents were in the morgue. Xiao Kongkong stayed with Wen Yi the whole time.
Until we reached the entrance to the morgue.
"I want to see my grandparents by myself," Wen Yi said, looking at Xiao Kongkong.
Xiao Kongkong nodded, "I'll be right at the door. Just call me anytime if you need anything."
She opened the door for Wen Yi, then walked to the side and closed the door after Wen Yi entered the morgue.
The temperature in the morgue was very low, and Wen Yi was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt. The moment Xiao Kongkong closed the door, a biting chill rushed in.
Wen walked up to the two numbered cabinets that Xiao Kongkong knew about.
The staff had already unlocked it in advance; Wen Yi only needed to pull it gently.
Ke Wen tried to reach out several times, but couldn't touch the cabinet door. Her hands were trembling so badly that she could barely stand.
She closed her eyes.
Even in this emotional state, Wen Yi didn't shed a single tear.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and used all her strength to pull open the cabinet.
White smoke billowed out as the cabinet was pulled open, revealing an elderly woman lying quietly inside. Her skin was deathly pale, and she had car accident wounds on her face, but they had been treated, and she still looked presentable.
Wen Yi watched quietly, unable to breathe. At that moment, it felt as if a heavy iron hammer was pounding on Wen Yi's heart, causing her pain and making it difficult for her to breathe.
She endured it all and opened another cabinet.
Just moments ago, her grandparents were holding her and laughing, making her lots of delicious food. Now, they lie lifeless in a cabinet in the morgue.
They were quiet, they were silent.
Their eyes were tightly closed, and they were cold.
Wen Yi completely lost her balance, her whole body went limp. She felt no emotion; she was simply unsteady on her feet, her vision was blurry, and...
It felt like all the strength had been drained from my body.
only……
I really want to lie inside in place of my grandparents.
I just feel that I shouldn't be breathing, that I shouldn't be alive in this world.
In the end, the only person in this world who truly loved Wen Yi still left, meeting a tragic end.
Wen Yi tried to speak, but no sound came out no matter how many times she called "Grandpa and Grandma". She pounded her heart and called "Grandpa and Grandma" over and over again, but no sound came out.
Wen knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
The repeated impact of his forehead against the cold ground brought sounds to the otherwise quiet morgue.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
One after another.
When Xiao Kongkong heard the noise and opened the door, she was startled to see Wen Yi kneeling and kowtowing. She rushed over to help Wen Yi up.
"Second Madam, what are you doing?" Xiao Kongkong was somewhat unable to stop Wen Yi, so she could only remind her, "You still need to take the two elders away. If you continue like this, your body won't be able to take it, and the two elders will have to be sent to the crematorium."
As soon as he said that, Wen Yi stopped all his actions.
She stared at Xiao Kongkong with her eyes open, then suddenly laughed and said something.
Xiao Kongkong was looking at Wen Yi as she spoke, but she didn't hear a sound. Xiao Kongkong found this very strange.
"Second Madam..." Xiao Kongkong tentatively began, "We need to go to the hospital now to complete some procedures. Would you like to go now, or should I go out first and wait for you for two minutes?"
Wen Yi spoke again.
This time, Xiao Kongkong stared at Wen Yi and confirmed that Wen Yi had spoken, but she could no longer make a sound.
Wen Yi seemed to know as well, but her expression remained calm, without any sign of panic.
He took out his phone from his pocket, opened the notepad, and wrote: "Take me to complete the formalities now."
