The old man hadn't spoken for a long time, and his voice was a little hoarse, but his eyes and eyebrows were clear.
"It's okay, I'm fine now. Don't worry. Stand up quickly. The ground is cold." The old man said to Jiang Ranran who was sitting on the ground.
Jiang Ranran and Gu Tingchen both had tears in their eyes, and it took them a long time to recover from their excitement.
The old man looked at Gu Tingchen and Jiang Ranran with a hint of relief on their faces, and suddenly asked, "What's going on outside? There's so much noise, I just woke up and heard it, but what happened?"
Many of the people outside were invited by Mrs. Gu to help with the old man's funeral. Since the old man had died and the funeral was very grand, it naturally would not be too quiet.
Jiang Ranran frowned and didn't explain.
Such words made her speechless and she didn't know how to start.
It was Gu Tingchen who explained the whole story. "Grandpa, your poisoning had something to do with my mother. My mother was used by Chen Nian and gave you poisoned tea."
At first, the two were reluctant to tell him. After all, the old man had just recovered. If they really told him, they were afraid that he would not be able to accept it for a while.
Fortunately, the old man seemed calm and didn't take it too seriously.
During the time he was in a coma, he was not completely unconscious. Sometimes he woke up and could hear sounds from the outside world.
"Isn't that the only thing between children? Okay, I've become indifferent to it." The old man said helplessly.
If the old man had some affection for Madam Gu before, this incident made him completely disappointed. After so many years, he finally saw it clearly.
Mrs. Gu is a person without any emotions. Everything she does is for herself, whether it was when she refused to let Gu Tingchen marry Jiang Ranran, or now she wants to harm the old man.
She was only considering her own interests.
"We are now collecting evidence and planning to trick my mother. We are preparing your funeral outside. You won't be angry, right?" Gu Tingchen asked tentatively.
As soon as the old man regained consciousness, Gu Tingchen concealed the fact that Madam Gu was trying to harm him again.
The most important thing now is to let Mrs. Gu know about the old man's death. Since the old man has woken up, he can cooperate with them.
"Okay, what do you want me to do?" The old man was also very happy.
It’s not that he wants to embarrass his wife, but since he has done something, he must take responsibility for it.
Gu Tingchen and Jiang Ranran told the old man about their plan, and the old man agreed.
Anyway, the old man only needs to breathe a little weaker to hide it from Mrs. Gu, and it is not a very energy-consuming thing.
At the same time, Gu Tingchen also asked a private doctor to sprinkle some borneol powder on the old man's body. Although this thing feels cold to the touch, it will not actually harm the patient.
This way you can be sure of success.
After finishing everything, Gu Tingchen and Jiang Ranran went out. As expected, as soon as they went out, Mrs. Gu came forward and grabbed Gu Tingchen's arm.
"The old man's funeral will be held in the next two days. Please let me see him for the last time. I did do a lot of wrong things before, and I regret it now." Mrs. Gu pleaded while crying.
It must be said that Mrs. Gu's behavior was sincere and heartfelt. If you didn't know the inside story, you would never notice anything unusual.
But the more this happened, the colder Gu Tingchen's expression became.
"So you must go see grandpa today, right?"
Mrs. Gu didn't know why Gu Tingchen asked this question in such a cold tone, but her brain didn't have time for her to think about anything else at this moment, so she just nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, this is the only chance I have in my life to confess to you, old man. Please let me in."
Anyway, everything inside had been arranged. Jiang Ranran gave Gu Tingchen a wink, and Gu Tingchen went along with it.
"Okay, but please come out after taking a look. Don't stay in Grandpa's room for too long. I want him to leave quietly."
Gu Tingchen let Mrs. Gu in to reassure her, but the old man couldn't hold his breath for too long.
Mrs. Gu nodded immediately and rushed into the room without even looking back. Gu Tingchen followed her for fear that something might happen and leaned against the door looking at Mrs. Gu.
Mrs. Gu just laid down on the old man's "corpse" and started crying, her crying was so heartbreaking.
She said a bunch of nonsense, as if she was trying to cover up the evil things she had done, or perhaps just to confuse Gu Tingchen.
"Dad, why did you leave like this? Good people don't live long."
While talking, Mrs. Gu also tried to check the old man's breathing. After confirming that the old man's body was cold and he was not breathing, Mrs. Gu was completely relieved.
It seems that the person is really gone.
After about two minutes, Gu Tingchen immediately stepped forward and pulled Mrs. Gu up.
"Mom, Grandpa, you've seen it too. You can get out now, right? The body won't stay here for long. If Grandpa is still alive, he probably wouldn't want to see you cry in front of him."
All day long today, Gu Tingchen's tone and attitude when speaking to Mrs. Gu were very cold, which made Mrs. Gu frightened.
But she no longer cared. The old man was dead anyway, and her troubles were completely gone.
Since Gu Tingchen didn't want her to stay here, she didn't force him to stay.
"Okay, I'll go outside to prepare for the old man's funeral. You stay here with your grandfather." Mrs. Gu said and left the room crying.
At this moment, she is already satisfied.
As long as the old man died, she would no longer be a threat. The people who got evidence against her were all in jail now, so she didn't have to worry about them at all.
Gu Tingchen didn't say anything, but just watched coldly as Mrs. Gu pretended to receive the guests outside the door.
At this time, Jiang Zhen also came over, wearing a formal suit and holding a flower in his hand, looking very sad.
But just as he reached the door, he was stopped by Jiang Ranran.
"What are you doing here?"
Now Jiang Ranran and Jiang Zhen can be considered to have completely broken up. Jiang Ranran has always been prejudiced against Jiang Zhen, and now Jiang Zhen is ungrateful. There is no need for Jiang Ranran to be polite to him.
"I heard that the old man passed away, so I came to see him. He and I had been staying in the same room before, and I came here to express my grief," Jiang Zhen said sadly.
You can tell at a glance that this statement was the product of a long thought.
Jiang Ranran was completely dismissive.
"Our family's affairs have nothing to do with you. The Gu family and the Jiang family no longer have any business dealings. I hope you stay away from our house and don't come here again." Jiang Ranran said coldly.
