"Of course, if she goes out in the future, she can still use the excuse that she was so heartbroken that she had to be hospitalized. After all, the sadness is real, and the hospitalization is also real."
Zhou Jida was silent for a moment: "So, is there still true love in this world?"
"Of course there is." Yun Lan touched Zhou Jida's head: "It's just that true love is hard to come by."
Upon learning of the deaths of Zhou Zhida and Zhou Jiwen, except for the elders of the two families, almost everyone from the Yun and Cheng families had arrived, except for those like Yun Cang and Yun Zhao who really couldn't leave.
After arriving, everyone did not take over the main event, but just watched Zhou Jiyun and Xie Jing handle the funeral. Now, hearing Zhou Jida's little adult-like words, Yun Lan just said something lightly.
He had seen this child the last time he came to S City. Back then, he was just an ordinary kid. Looking at him now, Yun Lan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "You seem to have grown up a lot in a short time."
Zhou Jida managed to keep a straight face, but inside he was already surging with emotion. Was this Xie Jing's father? His observations were incredibly sharp.
Zhou Jida showed a polite smile, but he ruthlessly dragged Zhou Jiyun out to take the blame: "I learned this from my big brother. He is always like this."
Zhou Jiyun scoffed softly, having grown accustomed to this brat's tendency to push him into taking the blame for everything. Xie Jing glanced at Zhou Jida indifferently, thinking, well, there was nothing more to say to him.
Yun Lan easily accepted this explanation and didn't ask any more questions: "Your grandfather is ill. As the younger generation, we should go see him. Is that convenient?"
Zhou Jiyun nodded: "It's convenient. I'm just worried that my parents will get sick if they go to the hospital."
Yun Lan also had his own reasons: "That's not the case. Jingjing's mother and I are much better now, and this is a matter of etiquette. We can't come here and not go see your grandfather."
Zhou Jiyun was a little touched: "Okay, I'll take the elders there after the guests leave."
Uncle Cheng patted Zhou Jiyun on the shoulder and said, "Okay, everything is finally settled."
Uncle Cheng also sighed: "Indeed, the dust has settled. From now on, you can finally live your own peaceful lives. It's not easy."
To be honest, if Zhou Jiwen hadn't died, he would have been a hidden danger. Now that the second branch of the Zhou family has been wiped out, as Xie Jing's relatives, they naturally think this is a good ending.
Perhaps feeling unlucky, the guests dispersed after noon. Zhou Jiyun and Xie Jing brought relatives from both the Yun and Cheng families to the hospital. From outside the ward, they saw the old man half-leaning on the bed, his eyes staring out the window with a dead look.
Just looking at this look, both families felt a pang in their hearts.
Uncle Cheng: "This shows she is completely hopeless and determined to die."
Aunt: "It's normal. The person he loved the most is gone, so how can he..."
Second aunt: "It's so pitiful for Jiyun. No one cares about him. It's really pitiful."
Yun Lan simply patted Zhou Jiyun on the shoulder. For the first time, he felt that being Zhou Jiyun's son-in-law was indeed quite difficult. He clearly had family, yet he lived like a lonely man. Sigh.
Yun Xu walked at the end, holding Jin Jun's hand. Seeing Zhou Jiyun's appearance, he couldn't help but sigh: "Now I feel that our brother-in-law is pitiful and our relationship is shallow."
Jin Jun disagreed: "How is that shallow? Aren't we all his family? Besides, there's Jingjing, and she wouldn't want him to be sad."
"Also, don't be so pushy. Be serious and solemn."
Yun Xu complained: "I'm holding my girlfriend's hand, how can that be unrespectable and unserious?"
Even so, Yun Xu still let go as he was told, but stayed close to Jin Jun. This was his last concession. If Jin Jun pushed him away again, he would really protest.
After seeing Mr. Zhou and chatting with him for a while, they left the ward only after seeing that he was a little tired. Before leaving, Yun Lan looked back. The afterglow of the setting sun was pouring into the ward. The old man in the ward seemed to have reached the end of his life, and his whole body was filled with lifelessness.
Uncle Cheng saw it most clearly: "Your old man is now completely immersed in self-blame."
My aunt spoke frankly: "He should have blamed himself a long time ago. If he hadn't been biased, how could it have come to this?"
“He just keeps indulging…”
Zhou Jiyun curled his lips: "He never dared to think about these things before, but now the facts are in front of him, and Grandpa can't reflect on it. To be honest, the main root of the tragedy of the entire Zhou family is Grandpa's favoritism."
"So, as a parent, you still have to treat your children equally." Uncle Cheng sighed, patting Zhou Jiyun's shoulder comfortingly: "Even though it was hard for you, fortunately, good things have come now."
"After meeting Jingjing, I've finally found my fortunes." Zhou Jiyun glanced at Xie Jing with a smile, "She has smoothed out all my resentment. As long as she's around, I don't care about anything else."
Uncle Cheng choked and looked at Cheng Yu: "Is this what you young people call love-brain? I don't understand."
"But this is fine, fine."
Cheng Yu curled her lips: "He is a top-notch love-brained person. In all these years, I have only met one like him."
"By the way, now Brother Xu and Brother Zhao are also like this."
The second aunt had something to say: "You still know Ah Zhao and Xiao Xu. I just want to ask you, they both have partners, aren't you jealous?"
"I'm greedy, but what can I do?" Cheng Yu also complained: "I haven't met anyone I'm attracted to, so I haven't met anyone. I'm not as quick as Brother Zhao and Brother Xu."
Jin Jun shyly hid behind Yun Xu, and Li Shu smoothed things over: "No one can predict fate. This is also the fate of Xiao Xu and Jun Jun. What if Cheng Yu meets him someday?"
Second aunt smiled bitterly: "I hope so. Cheng Jin and Cheng Yu are now the biggest troubles in our family. They don't date or get married every day, and they only think about work all day long."
The elders' topic shifted, and Jin Jun breathed a sigh of relief. Yun Xu joked, "How's Mom?"
"It's good," Jin Jun said without hesitation. The next second, she realized she had fallen into a trap. She glared at Yun Xu and said, "You..."
Yun Xu stroked his hair and said, "Don't be angry. I'm not familiar with S City. You're from S City. Can we go for a walk around here this afternoon?"
Jin Jun immediately smiled and said, "Okay, where do you want to go?"
Yun Xu poked secretly: "You have met my parents..."
How could Jin Jun not understand Yun Xu's intention? This was to meet her parents. She wasn't one to shy away from it. "That's fine, but are you just going to go like this?"
"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know etiquette." Yun Xu smiled, his eyebrows curved. "But today is not formal after all. How about tomorrow? Tomorrow I will formally visit my uncle and aunt."
