Chapter 245: Rest in Peace
She had always been strong as thunderbolt, but now she looked as fragile as a piece of paper.
Shen Ci’s heart suddenly tightened.
She slowly walked closer and stood in front of Pili. She moved her mouth but was speechless for a moment. She couldn't even say a word of comfort, and there was only heartache in her eyes.
Pili slowly raised his head. The corridor outside the morgue was pure white and so quiet that it made people dazed. Pili looked at Shen Ci and murmured, "Ah Ci, why does it feel like a dream?"
She felt dryness in her eyes, and she had no tears even to cry, but her heart felt like it was run over by a bulldozer, broken and painful!
Chen Ci squatted down and knelt directly beside Pili, stretched out her hand and gently held her head and hugged her. Any words seemed pale and powerless in the face of life and death. All she could do was tell Pili that she was always there and would always be with her.
Not to mention that Pili felt like a dream, even Shen Ci herself felt it was very sudden.
Not long ago, Pili told her that they had contacted hospitals abroad, but her wife's current condition was not convenient for forced transfer. Careful arrangements had to be made to transfer her to another hospital by a special plane, and professional medical staff had to be by her side throughout the process to ensure that everything was safe.
As a result, the person died in less than half a month.
Gu Lianxing also arrived quickly. She still had gauze on her forehead, but she was so worried about Pili that she didn't think about herself at all. She only knew that Pili needed her and Shen Ci at this time, and she had to be there.
"thunderbolt……"
Gu Lianxing squatted down and held Pili's hand. As soon as she spoke, she couldn't help but cry.
She has always been sentimental and can't control herself at all.
As a result, her crying voice actually directly aroused the emotions hidden deep inside Pili. Pili looked at Lianxing and his mouth pursed. Tears instantly filled his eyelids and rolled down like pearls.
The next second, he burst into tears.
The sadness suppressed in her heart, the unwillingness and regret for not being able to save her master's wife were completely released at this moment. She cried heart-wrenchingly, and her cries echoed in the white corridor, sounding even more mournful. Gou Chenci and Gu Lianxing also followed her and shed tears.
The two of them hugged Pili, one on each side, and cried with her...
I don’t know how long I cried, until Pili cried until his voice was hoarse and his body was limp.
Chen Ci and Gu Lianxing helped her to sit on the chair with red eyes, and continued to accompany her silently until Chen Baolin and Chen Sheng arrived.
Chen Sheng's eyes were red and swollen, obviously he had been crying, while Chen Baolin had a heavy and sad look on his face.
"Master Chen, Brother Chen Sheng."
Chen Ci and Gu Lianxing politely stood up to greet him, saying in unison, "Please accept my condolences."
Chen Baolin glanced at Pili, then nodded silently: "It's great that you can come, Pili..."
"Master Chen, don't worry. Lianxing and I will always be with her."
Gu Lianxing nodded quickly, tears welling up in her eyes again, and she quickly turned around to wipe them away.
"Thank you." Chen Baolin said softly: "We have already arranged the rest of the matter, Shen Ci, thank you for your help during this period of time, thank you very much."
"Don't say that. The matter of the courtyard will wait until you have dealt with the funeral of Master's wife. If you want to redeem it as soon as possible, we can handle the procedures at any time."
In order to save someone, Chen Baolin sold the yard to Chen Ci. Now that he didn't spend much money, the person is gone, so of course the property should be returned to the original owner.
"good."
Chen Baolin said this, taking two steps forward and approaching Pili. "Pili, if you're willing, please be there to hold a portrait for your master's wife at her funeral."
Pili slowly raised his head and looked at Chen Baolin, his eyes full of shock, and then his gaze slowly moved to Chen Sheng's face.
Is “admiring the emperor” something that only biological children are qualified to do?
Chen Sheng choked up and said, "I'll hold the ashes, and you hold the portrait. My mother has always treated you as her own daughter."
Pili's tears rolled down uncontrollably again and he nodded vigorously.
After being kept in the morgue for three days, the Master's wife's body was sent to the funeral home for cremation and then buried in Nanshan Cemetery.
As friends of Pili, Shen Ci, Gu Lianxing and Shen Yuzhen all came to pay their respects wearing black clothes and white flowers.
After the burial ceremony, Chen Baolin called Shen Ci aside.
"Chen Ci, the yard may not be reclaimed for the time being. I hope you can give me some more time. It didn't cost much originally, but my lover's funeral cost a lot, and I'm afraid I can't make up for it in a short time."
Not to mention anything else, a cemetery with good feng shui in Nanshan Cemetery alone costs nearly a thousand yuan. In Longcheng, where every inch of land is valuable, a few square meters of land for a deceased person is equivalent to a house.
But this was the money that should be spent, and Chen Baolin was unambiguous about it. He had to give his wife a decent burial.
"No problem, Master Chen. Don't worry, I won't sell this house to anyone else. When you have enough money, we will transfer the ownership immediately."
With Shen Ci's words, Chen Baolin felt relieved.
Pili knelt in front of the monument for a long time, and his sad back was heartbreaking.
Several people stood watching from a distance. Shen Yuzhen sighed softly, "She was already thin, and now she's obviously lost a lot more weight. It's really uncomfortable to look at her."
"She has been staying at my place these days, and Lianxing is with her. She doesn't cry or make a fuss, but she has no appetite. It's good enough if she can eat two bites a day." Chen Ci said helplessly.
Gu Lianxing was wiping away tears again. "Why is Pili so pitiful? Her parents died when she was young, and she finally had a master and a mistress who treated her like their own child. But then the master and mistress passed away again. She was only twenty years old. Why did she have to endure so much? God is so unfair!"
"Why don't I move over and stay with her for a few days?" Shen Yuzhen suddenly said.
Shen Ci nodded readily: "That's good, more people can always distract her attention, I hope she can come out sooner."
So that night Shen Yuzhen brought a small suitcase and moved into the guest room of Shen Ci's house.
During this special period, Chen Ci rarely went out unless it was necessary, and stayed at home to guard Pili. But today there was news from Brother Xizi, and Chen Ci had to go to the appointment.
The place they agreed to meet this time was "Between Water and Clouds".
Chen Ci had never had the chance to visit "Shuiyunjian" before, but when he came here in person today, he found that it was indeed unique.
It is not the kind of nouveau riche feeling, but the low-key luxury is revealed in every detail, which is very stylish and textured.
The entire club was operating in an orderly manner as usual. Who would have thought that its parent group was now in a precarious situation and was about to have a new owner.
She was led to the box by a waiter in a white shirt and red vest. When the door opened, she was the last one to arrive.
Brother Xizi and Uncle Yang were sitting facing each other at the South Pole and the North Pole.
