After Su Nuan came out of her grandfather's room, she returned to her own room, closed and locked the door, threw herself on the bed, buried her head in the quilt and cried bitterly. Before the accident, she was the eldest daughter of the Central China Resources Group. She was loved by her grandfather and cared for by her parents. She was the apple of everyone's eye. Suddenly, her parents passed away and her grandfather fell ill. The manor that was once full of laughter and joy became silent. Her parents did not even leave behind their bodies when they died.
No matter how strong Su Nuan was, she was only 19 years old. She had grown up under the care of her family. It was rare for her not to be crushed in the face of such a huge blow. Seeing her old and frail grandfather forced himself to cheer up and weakly explained the whole story to her, she became strong, even if it was a forced strength. She knew clearly that if she did not stand up and support the Su family, the Su family would face destruction. She could not bear to see the Su family that several generations had defended gone, and she could not bear to see her grandfather who was looking forward to returning home disappointed. She had to be strong to reassure her grandfather.
Su Nuan returned to her room, let go of her strength, and burst into tears. She told herself that just this once, she would be weak and unruly. After this unruly time, Su Nuan must be strong.
She locked herself in the room for the entire afternoon. It was getting dark. In the evening, Su Nuan walked out of the room with red eyes. She went downstairs to the mourning hall of her parents in the living room, knelt down, looked at her parents' photos, kowtowed three times, burned incense to each of her parents, and got up to go to the kitchen.
He found the cook Mary and told her to prepare a light meal in the evening. Grandpa was sick and should not eat greasy food. He opened the refrigerator, took out the chicken, asked the cook to chop it, then took out the casserole, washed the ingredients, took out a 20-year-old ginseng from the storage cabinet, cut a small half of it and put it in the casserole, stewing it with the chicken.
Although Su Nuan is a young lady who has never done housework, she has inherited the skill of making soup from her mother. The Su family is originally from Shanghai and they still prefer Chinese food. Her mother is particularly good at cooking. When they first arrived in Country Y, the Su family was not used to Western food, so her mother had to cook for herself. Later, she found a cook and taught her how to cook Chinese food. Su Nuan followed her mother around in the kitchen since she was a child, but she only learned a few basic dishes and some techniques on how to make soup. Her cooking skills are far inferior to her mother's.
An hour later, the soup was ready. Su Nuan personally carried the food and soup to Grandpa Su's room.
I knocked on the door and entered. Mr. Su was already awake. He was leaning back on the bed, looking out the window at something.
Su Nuan asked softly, "Grandpa, what are you looking at?"
Old Master Su came back to his senses, shook his head and said nothing.
"Grandpa, you haven't eaten all day, your body can't take it. Mary just made your favorite crab porridge, and I also made ginseng chicken soup myself. Grandpa, would you like to have some?"
"Okay, Grandpa's good daughter, thank you for your hard work."
Su Nuan placed the dinner plate on the bedside table and picked up the soup bowl to feed her.
After Mr. Su finished his soup, he drank some porridge and went back to sleep.
Su Nuan went out, put the plate in the kitchen, sat at the dining table, and ate mechanically as if it tasted like chewing wax. Although she had no appetite, she still had to eat because there was still a lot she needed to do next.
At this time, Eric came in from outside and reported things to Su Nuan. He knew that Su Nuan was the one who made the decision in the Su family now.
"Miss, the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. were cremated this afternoon, and the ashes have been sent back to the manor. I have notified the Su family's close friends that a memorial service will be held at the Su family manor at 8 o'clock tomorrow."
"Okay, you've worked hard, sit down and have something to eat together."
"Okay," Eric sat down quietly.
The next day, the gate of the manor opened at 7 o'clock in the morning, and many luxury cars drove in from outside the manor and stopped in front of the Su family's door. The people who got out of the cars were all wearing black clothes. After entering the door, the servants came forward and put white bouquets on them. After entering the living room, everyone maintained a solemn and quiet mourning. Su Nuan knelt beside the portraits of Su's father and mother, and saluted the guests, but Grandpa Su did not show up from beginning to end.
Around 9 o'clock, the guests were sent away one after another. Yu Cheng, the deputy general manager of Jianye Group, stayed with his family. During the memorial service, Yu Cheng also helped Eric receive the guests. After the guests left, Su Nuan found Yu Cheng and said that she had something to discuss, and the two went to the Su family's reception room.
