Chapter 132 Jiang Nuanzhu: "Then you are responsible for making me fat."
Mr. Xu's funeral was planned by Jiang Nuanzhu and Xu Heyi.
Aunt Xu was already in poor health and fainted when she heard the bad news in the hospital. She has been bedridden ever since.
During the funeral, Xu's father knelt in front of the mourning hall every day.
Maybe it's atonement, maybe it's guilt.
But it was too late.
This sudden bad news came to an end in the blink of an eye.
The entire Xu family's sky was filled with gloom.
These days, Jiang Nuanzhu has been with Xu Heyi every day. She knows that although he seems calm and steady, he is actually in a very bad mood.
I wanted to comfort Xu Heyi, but I didn't know how, so I could only stay with him as much as possible every day.
After the funeral, the two took Aunt Xu back to the hospital.
Aunt Xu's face turned pale as she grabbed Xu Heyi's hand. "Heyi, your grandfather was killed by that beast. You must never let him go! And your father... I never want to see him again in my life!"
Xu Heyi patted Aunt Xu's hand: "Aunt, don't worry."
Aunt Xu: "Heyi, it's time to change the dressing on your wound. Go change the dressing first. I want to talk to Nuanzhu."
Xu Heyi glanced at Jiang Nuanzhu.
Jiang Nuanzhu's eyes were calm and gentle: "Go change the medicine first, I'll come to see you later."
Xu Heyi: "Okay."
After Xu Heyi left, Aunt Xu took Jiang Nuanzhu's hand and sighed: "Nuanzhu, Heyi has been in a bad mood recently, and I need you to take care of him more."
"It's my duty." Jiang Nuanzhu said calmly, "I know he's been in a bad mood recently. I will stay with him."
Aunt Xu's eyes were red and she lowered her head: "The only thing Heyi remembers about the Xu family is the old man. Now that the old man is gone... Fortunately, you are still by his side."
Jiang Nuanzhu also felt tears welling up in her eyes.
Aunt Xu seemed to recall the past: "He Yi used to be a gentle and kind person. Later, his parents got divorced, and he was traumatized. That's why he became so cold now."
Jiang Nuanzhu was stunned. "Are you stimulated?"
"Yeah." Aunt Xu nodded. "When the affair between Xu Heyuan and his mother was exposed, my eldest sister-in-law wanted a divorce, but my eldest brother refused. They quarreled for two whole years, and the house didn't feel like a home anymore. It even upset Heyi so much that he developed depression and ran away from home once."
"Depression, running away from home?" Jiang Nuanzhu was stunned. She didn't expect Xu Heyi to have such a past.
A pain spread silently in her heart.
Aunt Xu nodded and sighed, "Yes, he was only thirteen at the time. He ran away to Linshan alone, and it was your grandparents who brought him back. When my parents found out, they were terrified."
"Linshan?! Did my grandparents send him back?"
Jiang Nuanzhu's mind went blank for a moment.
At that time, Grandpa Jiang was still a professor at the school. He heard that the scenery in Linshan was beautiful, so he took Grandma Jiang and Jiang Nuanzhu to live there for more than three years.
Jiang Nuanzhu is extremely familiar with Linshan.
When Xu Heyi was thirteen years old, she was exactly nine years old.
That year, she also ran away from home and walked alone from the capital to a small country house in the mountains.
Jiang Nuanzhu felt a kind of shock in his heart, which quietly spread everywhere.
She pretended to be calm and said, "Why don't I remember this happening?"
Aunt Xu looked puzzled: "Don't you remember? It was because of this incident that the Jiang and Xu families made the marriage contract."
"Heyi ran away from home to Linshan alone. Your grandparents personally sent him back. My mother said that the Jiang family had done a favor for the Xu family. After asking Heyi, she mentioned the matter of getting engaged."
It turned out that her marriage with Xu Heyi was arranged in this way.
Jiang Nuanzhu's throat was dry, and he spoke with difficulty: "I really don't know."
When their love was at its peak, Jiang Nuanzhu asked Xu Heyi how they got engaged.
Xu Heyi just smiled and said, "It's all in the past. We are already married, that's enough."
Aunt Xu was speechless, as if suddenly realizing something: "I remember now. Your grandmother said you were sick for half a month after you returned. I guess you forgot about it because of the illness."
Aunt Xu: "But that's all in the past. Seeing your loving relationship, I think my parents would be very happy in heaven. It's just a pity that Dad didn't see you get pregnant and have a child before he passed away..."
Finally, Aunt Xu held Jiang Nuanzhu's hand and reminded her again and again: "You must be well, be well."
Jiang Nuanzhu helped Aunt Xu cover herself with the quilt and said softly, "Aunt, we will."
Jiang Nuanzhu was in a trance until she left Aunt Xu's ward. Her hand touched the small-leaf red sandalwood necklace around her neck.
This was the engagement token between her and Xu Heyi, and it was made by the thirteen-year-old Xu Heyi himself.
Before I knew it, I had reached the outpatient clinic on the second floor, where the doctor was changing Xu Heyi's dressing.
Jiang Nuanzhu watched quietly, full of questions, but didn't know where to start.
Xu Heyi glanced at her and said calmly, "Are you done talking?"
He naturally reached out to Jiang Nuanzhu.
Jiang Nuanzhu's hand fell into his palm and she walked towards him step by step.
"Well, how's your injury?"
In the end, Jiang Nuanzhu suppressed her doubts and decided to ask Xu Heyi in detail after returning home.
"It's almost healed." Xu Heyi rubbed Jiang Nuanzhu's hand: "You've worked hard during this period. You've lost weight."
Jiang Nuanzhu curled her lips, "Then you are responsible for making me fat."
Xu Heyi's eyes lit up with a smile, "Okay."
After packing up, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and Secretary Zhang drove the two back to the Nanshan villa area.
On the way, Jiang Nuanzhu received news from Fu Qingyin.
[I just received a message from the police today. There's news about the person who stole my car badge last time. It seems he's a resident of your neighborhood. He might be a repeat offender. Please be careful recently.]
[Got it. I'll discuss it with Xu Heyi about hiring two bodyguards.]
Jiang Nuanzhu had just told Xu Heyi about this matter when he ran into Chen Siyi when his car arrived at the gate of the community.
He was driving a black Cullinan with the windows half-down, and his profile was cold and hard.
In the middle of summer, looking at him actually gave me a cool feeling.
Chen Siyi glanced at Xu Heyi and Jiang Nuanzhu, "Mr. Xu, I accept your condolences."
Xu Heyi nodded slightly.
Jiang Nuanzhu asked, "Mr. Chen doesn't look very happy?"
Chen Siyi: “…”
It was too dark just now and Jiang Nuanzhu didn't see clearly, but when she looked again... she found that Chen Siyi's face was a little red and swollen, and there were obvious fingerprints on it.
It felt like someone had slapped me.
