Chapter 152 Chapter 152 I Can't Forgive Myself
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Yu was stunned, obviously not believing her words, "What did you just say?"
"Grandma is gone! Jiang Yu, I bought breakfast at Xuji and returned to the ward, but Grandma was already gone. I think she might have sent me away on purpose. She said before that Grandpa would be very lonely walking on the road to the underworld alone. I didn't expect..."
Grandma said that grandpa was afraid of being alone, so he liked to take her with him wherever he went.
Grandma said that Grandpa must feel very lonely walking alone on the road to the underworld.
Grandma also asked me if he would blame me if I didn’t go to accompany him.
Grandma said a lot of things, but she didn't pay attention to these details. If she had noticed her grandma's abnormality earlier, she would have stayed by her grandma's side all the time.
Shen Qinghuan had already cried uncontrollably, letting the tears flow down her cheeks.
"I'm sorry! Jiang Yu, it's all my fault. I didn't take good care of grandma. You trusted me so much and asked me to look after her, but I..."
Jiang Yu's expression was also extremely grim, but he tried hard to control himself and said in a hoarse voice, "Huanhuan, this matter is not your fault. Even if it were me, I wouldn't be so thoughtful."
"Don't cry yet, I'll come find you now."
After he finished speaking, he ended the call record with Shen Qinghuan.
He turned his head to look at his parents beside him, frowning tightly, "Dad, Mom, Grandma..."
Seeing his son hesitate to speak, Jiang Zhenlin suddenly had a bad feeling and asked anxiously, "What happened to your grandma?"
Jiang Yu calmed down and said expressionlessly, "Grandma... is gone!"
"Your grandma is gone?" Jiang Zhenlin and his wife were both shocked. "How could this happen! Didn't you say before that your grandma had passed the critical period? How could she suddenly..."
Jiang Yu looked up at his parents, his eyes still cold, "Maybe she feels that grandpa is too lonely, so she wants to accompany him."
Jiang Zhenlin sighed heavily and said helplessly, "I knew it, I knew it would be like this! Your grandparents have been married for decades and have never had a quarrel. Their relationship has always been very good. Now that your grandfather is gone, your grandmother will never be willing to live alone!"
Jiang Yu handed over the funeral home matters to his father, and drove to the hospital to see Shen Qinghuan.
Because of the traffic jam, it took us an hour to get there.
After getting off the car, I almost ran all the way.
When he saw Shen Qinghuan with red eyes, he pressed her into his arms distressedly, "I'm sorry! I'm late. I shouldn't have left you here alone."
Shen Qinghuan opened her mouth slightly, the corners of her eyes were red, and she tried hard to suppress the bitterness in her heart. She choked and said, "Grandpa is gone, and now grandma is gone too. Jiang Yu, they are all gone..."
"Don't cry! You still have me!"
Jiang Yu hugged her tightly, his heart aching, and he deeply regretted leaving her here alone.
"Also, Huanhuan, it's not your fault for what happened to Grandma. It's because Grandma can't bear to leave Grandpa."
"Blame me! Blame me!" Shen Qinghuan choked with tears, her face full of tears, "If I hadn't gone out to buy food for grandma, she wouldn't have found the opportunity to do that. It's all my fault..."
"Then have you ever thought that maybe this is what grandma wants? Grandpa and grandma have been married for decades and have been together for decades. They are the only ones in each other's hearts and eyes. Grandma is worried that grandpa will be lonely, so she wants to be with him, just like when grandpa was still alive..."
Everyone can understand the truth, but she just can't forgive herself.
Shen Qinghuan couldn't pretend that nothing had happened, but she knew clearly that everyone was very sad at this time, especially Jiang Yu. He was much sadder than her because of the departure of his grandpa and grandma.
"sorry……"
"If you really feel sorry for me, then stop blaming yourself. Grandma's death is not your fault. I know her very well. Since she has such thoughts, we can stop her once, but we can't stop her twice or three times. Instead, it will only add to her pain."
...Three days later.
Grandpa and grandma were buried together. Their graves were bought in the cemetery with the best feng shui in the south city, which was decided a year ago. According to the suicide note left by grandma, the two of them were buried together.
The weather was not very good that day. It was overcast early in the morning. When we arrived at the cemetery, a fine drizzle suddenly fell from the sky, and the cemetery was damp and hazy.
Because of the Jiang family's status in South City, many people came to see grandpa and grandma off. Black umbrellas were placed together, stretching from the foot of the mountain to the top, one after another.
Shen Qinghuan appeared in this solemn occasion as the granddaughter-in-law of the Jiang family. It was also the first time that everyone knew that she was the granddaughter-in-law designated by the old man and Jiang Yu.
Privately, some people praised her beauty, while others laughed at her low status, saying she was just an orphan living in the Jiang family. Some even brought up the past and mocked her for having used despicable means to marry Jiang Yu...
Shen Qinghuan couldn't hear these rumors, and even if she did, she wouldn't pay any attention to them.
Some insignificant people were never worth her attention.
Shen Qinghuan lowered her head and stood quietly beside Jiang Yu, not moving a step away.
When everything was over, only a few people from the Jiang family were left in front of my grandparents' grave.
I don’t know if she was pretending to be sad or was really sad, but Jiang Lan Ya cried so hard along the way that her eyes were swollen. But everyone who was guarding outside the old man’s operating room that day saw the old lady slapping her, so no one felt sorry for her, and no one was willing to pay attention to her.
"Have you cried enough? If you have, get out of here! Your parents don't want to see a fool like you."
Jiang Zhenlin scolded Jiang Lanya with a cold face.
Jiang Lanya felt extremely insecure, but in order to get her share of the inheritance, she wiped her tears and acted pitiful, "Brother! Why are you so mean to me? I didn't mean it. If I had known that our father's health was so poor, I wouldn't have..."
"It's all because of you! You knew Dad's body wouldn't allow it, but you never told me."
Afraid that she would not gain any benefits, Jiang Lanya gritted her teeth and couldn't help but turn the tables.
Jiang Zhenlin almost vomited blood, "You..."
He glared at Jiang Lanya angrily, then turned and left, not wanting to stay with her for even a second.
Seeing this, Chen Yun also left, not wanting to bother with this confused sister-in-law.
Suddenly, there were only a few people left in the cemetery.
Shen Qinghuan glanced at Jiang Yu who had been silent. She hesitated to say something, but didn't know how to start.
Compared to her, the death of his grandparents had a deeper impact on Jiang Yu, and he was even more sad.
"Let's go too! We still have to go to the company. Grandpa and grandma's private lawyer will announce the will in the afternoon." Jiang Yu turned his head to look at Shen Qinghuan and casually took her little hand.
As if he felt Shen Qinghuan's hands were too cold, he used his big palm to tightly wrap her small hands and then put them in his coat pocket.
Shen Qinghuan raised her eyes to look at Jiang Yu, then glanced at his bulging coat pockets. She felt an inexplicable sourness in her heart, and her eyes became slightly hot. She turned her face away calmly.
Walk down the stairs, one step at a time, from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain.
The cold wind brought with it fine rain that wet the corners of their clothes. Even with an umbrella, they couldn't block the bone-chilling cold.
When they were almost at the foot of the mountain, Shen Qinghuan suddenly stopped and turned his head to look back.
Through the dense and heavy rain and fog in front of me, the mountain top in the distance seemed to be no longer visible and was hazy.
Jiang Yu lowered his eyes to look at her, raised his beautiful fingers, and gently stroked the hair that fell on her ears. Then he said in a hoarse voice, "If you miss your grandparents in the future, I will accompany you to visit them."
Shen Qinghuan hummed softly and reluctantly looked away.
On the way back, none of them spoke, and the air in the small compartment seemed to be frozen.
In the past few days, both she and Jiang Yu were very busy and slept no more than two hours a day. But now that she was done with her work, she couldn't sleep at all and felt a tightness in her chest.
"Do you want to lean on my shoulder and sleep for a while?" Jiang Yu suddenly spoke, his eyes falling on the slightly pale little face.
Shen Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes, and then he shook his head and said, "I'm not sleepy."
As she finished speaking, she yawned unconsciously, a yawn that she couldn't help but hold back.
Jiang Yu suddenly smiled, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
He took the initiative to move closer to Shen Qinghuan, reached out and pressed her head on his shoulder, and said softly: "Sleep peacefully! I will wake you up when we get to the company."
"What about you? Aren't you sleepy?"
He is obviously the one who works the hardest.
Jiang Yu touched her forehead affectionately and said with a smile, "I'm not sleepy." There were still many things waiting for him to deal with, and he couldn't rest for the time being.
Looking at that exhausted and haggard face, Shen Qinghuan wanted to say, "Just hang on!" But she couldn't bring herself to say it. The huge Jiang Group needed him, and he would probably be very busy in the next few days.
ps: I was supposed to make up for the words I owed the day before yesterday today, but the typing software had a bug and I lost two thousand words. I’m so sad.
