Lu Zhiyuan sent me to the elevator and wanted to take the elevator down with me, but I stopped him.
"Your mother is awake now, and her mood swings are quite dramatic. You should stay with her more to prevent her from doing something impulsive."
Although Zhao Xian appeared relatively calm just now, it was late at night and it was inevitable that she would think about Lu Jing's death again and again.
Lu Zhiyuan was also worried, so he simply didn't insist. He just told me to tell him when I got home and watched me walk into the elevator.
Although I have no relationship with the Lu family for a long time, Lu Jing's death still makes me feel depressed and sad.
When I returned to Mingfu Villa, the lights upstairs were off. I guess everyone in the family had gone to bed. Only the dim light in the living room was on.
I pushed the door open quietly, intending to go back to my room directly, but I saw Mingsi taking a nap on the sofa.
I was suddenly startled. I didn't expect that she would still be waiting for me in the living room.
I clearly sent her a message when I was in the hospital, telling her not to worry.
Looking at Mingsi sleeping, I felt so distressed, although I couldn't bear to wake her up.
But if she really sleeps in the living room all night, she will be sore all over tomorrow.
I squatted beside the sofa and called softly, "Mom? Wake up."
I patted her shoulder gently, and saw her eyelashes tremble and slowly opened her eyes.
"Xiao Shan?" Her voice was still a little uncertain. She sat up from the sofa, regained some consciousness, and asked me, "Why did you come back just now?"
I evaded the question, "I have something to take care of. Didn't I text you to tell you not to wait for me? Why are you sleeping on the sofa?"
Mingsi looked worried: "You said you had to work overtime at the company, but you lied to me! I asked Li Tao to pick you up from the company, but you weren't there at all. Where did you go?"
I originally wanted to keep it a secret so that Mingsi wouldn't worry about me, but now I can't keep it a secret anymore.
I confessed, “I went to the hospital.”
"Hospital?" Mingsi was suspicious. "Who's sick?"
"It was Lu Zhiyuan's father." My voice dropped involuntarily. "He committed suicide. He's passed away."
Mingsi was stunned. Although she had only heard of Lu Jing's name and had never seen Lu Jing in person, she was still amazed that a healthy and living person suddenly committed suicide.
I explained briefly, "Lu Zhiyuan and I were discussing work at the time. He was quite panicked when he received the call. I was worried that something might have happened to him, so I sent him to the hospital."
Mingsi nodded in agreement. "After encountering something like this, I'm sure he won't be able to focus on work. If you pay more attention to the technology building project, it will reduce his burden."
I nodded in agreement, accompanied Mingsi upstairs, and urged her to go to rest.
At night, I lay in bed, and my mind kept emerging with Lu Zhiyuan's panicked and helpless look after receiving the news, as well as the fatigue in his eyes when he was pretending to be strong, which made me feel distressed.
After all, we were once husband and wife, and he helped and saved me many times.
Now that he is in the most difficult time, I am willing to stay by his side and help him deal with everything.
For the next two days, I helped Lu Zhiyuan with the funeral arrangements.
The police are still investigating Lu Jing's motive for suicide, but an autopsy has been performed on his body and no signs of injury were found.
The dead are the greatest, and their bodies must be buried first.
I contacted the best funeral parlor makeup artist and performed multiple repairs on Lu Jing's body.
Before the funeral, Lu Zhiyuan and I came to the funeral home and saw Lu Jing lying peacefully in the coffin with his face in good condition. Lu Zhiyuan's eyes instantly turned red.
