"No, no!" Ye Jian immediately shook her head and refused. She glanced towards the kitchen, bit her lip and said softly, "I'll go by myself. You take a rest first."
"Go, child, grandpa is with you, don't worry about your dad." Seeing Ye Jian's agreement, the old man smiled. He felt sorry for his granddaughter who had no parental protection since childhood. This was a suffering that his son should suffer, so he had to let his son bear it and carry it on his own!
Ye Jian and Father Fu sat in the chess room where the old man usually rested, which was also the lounge where Li Jinnian sat when he first met Ye Jian and brought her home.
The sliding door of the lounge was tightly closed, and only faint sounds could be heard from outside. The old man was sitting in the living room, his eyes occasionally glancing towards the lounge, his weather-beaten face with a calm expression like a mountain, without a trace of worry.
The old man has been through too many things and has become as stable as a rock. Nothing can make him panic.
There was a sound of something falling onto the low coffee table in the lounge, making a rolling sound... It was the small teacup in Fu's father's hand that fell onto the coffee table. The tea rolled down with the teacup and dripped from the edge of the coffee table drop by drop.
Ye Jian finally told the story of her mother's sacrifice.
"I'm sorry, Dad. I didn't dare to tell you. You were looking forward to reuniting with Mom so much. I really didn't dare to tell you because I was afraid that it would make you sad." Ye Jian didn't look up the whole time. She first stared at the teacup that fell on the coffee table. After the teacup rolled off, she stared at the tea stain again. Her sad voice gently floated into Dad Fu's ears, "Mom was buried in the Southern Province Martyrs Cemetery after her death. If you want to go there, I'll accompany you."
Father Fu’s face was as pale as snow, and even his eyes were dull.
The moment I heard that my wife had passed away more than ten years ago, I felt as if my heart was pierced by thousands of arrows. My heart seemed to be hollowed out, and a cold wind was blowing inside.
Father Fu had lost his "heart" and sat there motionless like a piece of wood. He was so cold that even his clenched fists were shaking.
The woman he loved most, his most beloved wife... had passed away for more than ten years. His greatest obsession in this life was his lover, but now she was gone... She was gone!
When a person is gone, his heart is gone too...
After Ye Jian finished her last sentence, she finally raised her head and saw that Father Fu's lips were extremely pale. He sat there motionless as if he had lost his soul, with no life in his eyes or on his face.
At this moment, Ye Jian felt even more frightened.
"Dad... Dad..." She called out tremblingly, trying to wake up Father Fu, who was in a state of shock and had no trace of life. She was so shocked and scared that she couldn't even utter a complete sentence. Ye Jian was so anxious that tears streamed down her face.
Father Fu probably heard Ye Jian's voice and blinked lightly. His dull eyes moved as if he had woken up from a nightmare. He asked softly, "Jian'er, you didn't lie to me, did you? Is there something else going on?"
"No, no... Dad, I didn't lie to you. Mom passed away more than ten years ago. She passed away when I was very young." Ye Jian saw that Dad Fu was in a state of despair and couldn't accept the reality for a while. Even his breathing became unsmooth. "How dare I lie to you about such a big thing? It's all true... I didn't lie to you at all."
Father Fu's expression became even more dazed, like a piece of wood. Even when he opened his mouth and spoke, his expression was stupid and dull. "You didn't lie to me... Hongmei... your mother really left. She left without waiting for me. Jian'er, your mother must hate me very much. She didn't even wait for me."
