Translator: 549690339
Even though she had already expected this, su Lan Xu’s body was still clearly stunned when she heard this news with her own ears. She felt as if her backbone had been pulled out and she was falling down.
Xu Jialu was quick to catch her from behind. His voice was low and mixed with worry. &Quot; susu … &Quot;
!!
Su lanxu’s face was pale, and her brain buzzed. She looked up at her mother and bit her pink lips so hard that they were bleeding, but she didn’t make a sound.
Su Yu’s mother was very calm. She even smiled and comforted her, ” your father passed away very peacefully. He didn’t suffer much. We should be happy for him. &Quot;
He would no longer have to be tortured by illness.
Su lanxu still didn’t say anything. She just tilted her head and lowered her eyes to hide the sorrow that was surging in her eyes.
……
Su lanxu was not as heartbroken as Xu Jialu had expected.
She calmly helped her mother deal with her father’s funeral, informed relatives and friends to pay their respects, and made arrangements for everything.
Mother su and father su had been abroad for many years. They didn’t have many friends in China and didn’t contact their relatives much, so there weren’t many people who came to offer their condolences. By the afternoon, there weren’t many people.
As in-laws, Xu jiusheng and Cheng Ying rushed over as soon as they received the notice. Cheng Ying accompanied mother su, afraid that she couldn’t hold on.
However, Su Yu’s mother was very strong and didn’t lose her composure at all. If she didn’t know that they had a good relationship, she would have suspected that they had been separated for many years, so she could be so calm when her husband passed away.
In the afternoon, Xie tingxi and Bo Qi came to offer their condolences, while mo Zhiyun and Qin Siyu came together. Lu Heyun was busy with work and could not make time.
In the evening, most of them had left. Xu Youyou was worried about lan lan and wanted to stay to keep her company.
Su lanxu declined her kind offer. &Quot; you and Mo shenbai must be tired after rushing back for a whole day. Go back and rest early. Don’t worry about me, I’m fine. &Quot;
Xu Youyou was still worried. &Quot; I’m not tired. I’ll stay and accompany you. &Quot;
Even if he could not do anything, he could still accompany her.
Su lanxu shook her head. &Quot; there’s really no need. Let’s go back. &Quot;
Xu Youyou still wanted to say something, but Xu Jialu beat her to it. &Quot; go back, I’ll take care of this. &Quot;
He was wearing a black suit, even his shirt was black, and he looked dignified and steady.
Seeing this, Xu Youyou dropped the subject. &Quot; then you have to take good care of Lanlan. &Quot;
Xu Jialu nodded. &Quot; I’ll send you guys. &Quot;
Xu Jialu was sending mo shenbai and Xu Youyou off on behalf of his mother-in-law and wife. This was etiquette.
Su lanxu turned around and met Xie tingxi’s gentle gaze. She greeted him politely, ” President Xie. &Quot;
“If you need anything, contact me at any time.” Xie tingxi said out of concern for humanity.
“Thank you, but I don’t need anything for the time being.” Su lanxu replied.
Xie tingxi nodded and looked outside the door. &Quot; indeed, he arranged everything properly. &Quot;
By the time su lanxu informed her family, Xu Jialu had already contacted the funeral Center, the time for sparks to fly, the time for burial, and even the cemetery.
Su lanxu followed his gaze and looked at Xu Jialu, who was talking to Xu Youyou by the car. Her long eyelashes drooped. &Quot; he’s doing very well. &Quot;
Xie tingxi retracted his gaze and looked at her, who was shrouded in gloom. &Quot; sometimes, don’t be so stubborn. When you look back occasionally, the scenery you’ve missed may still be there. &Quot;
Su lanxu looked up at him and didn’t say anything.
Xu Jialu turned around and saw su lanxu and Xie tingxi talking at the door. He furrowed his thick eyebrows.
Someone had to keep watch at night. Su lanxu persuaded her mother to go back to her room and rest while she knelt in front of the hall and burned joss paper for her father.
Watching the paper of the nether slowly turn into ashes in the brazier, his heart felt empty, as if there was only a pile of ashes left, and with a gentle breeze, there was nothing left.
Xu Jialu took off his coat and came down in his shirt. He knelt down beside her and helped her burn joss paper.
Su lanxu looked up at his beautiful fingers and said in a low voice, ” go and rest. I’ll be fine here by myself. &Quot;
Xu Jialu’s gaze fell on the brazier and didn’t look at her. &Quot; dad hasn’t left yet. Maybe he’s looking at us. &Quot;
Su lanxu’s hand that was putting paper money into the brazier stiffened for a few seconds and she said nothing.
The paper money in the brazier was enough to burn for a while. He looked up at her face that was pale under the light of the fire and whispered, ” “If you’re upset, just cry. Don’t hold it in.”
Su lanxu shook her head. &Quot; I don’t want to cry. My dad is gone, but I still have to take care of my mom. I don’t want my dad to leave in peace. &Quot;
Seeing her like this, Xu Jialu’s heart clenched. His heart ached, and he reached out his arms to pull her into his arms.
However, his arm hung in the air for a long time before it finally drooped down by his side. He did not do anything.
……
Father su was cremated and buried on the third day.
Mother su and su Lan Xu were both very calm. They did not cry to the heavens and earth, nor were they heartbroken. Compared to the SU family’s wailing, they were unusually calm.
After coming back from the cemetery, mother su started to pack up father SU’s belongings: towels, cups, and his favorite Go board.
Su lanxu was a little worried. &Quot; mom, there’s no rush to collect these things. &Quot;
Mother su smiled faintly. &Quot; it’s useless to keep the things after she’s gone. It’ll only make you more uneasy if you see them and think of them. &Quot;
Su lanxu didn’t stop her.
Su lanxu did not cancel her leave. She wanted to stay at home for a few more days to spend more time with her mother and make her feel better.
Mother su didn’t object. Instead, she was very happy. She personally cooked with the helper and went shopping with su lanxu. She bought a lot of clothes for su lanxu and also bought herself a very pretty dress.
When she returned home, she changed into a dress and put on some makeup before going downstairs for su lanxu to see.
“Lan lan, don’t you think I look good?”
Su lanxu nodded. &Quot; mom, you’re really pretty. &Quot;
“It’s a pity that your father won’t be able to see it.” Mother su tidied up her dress and looked up.”Lan lan, take a picture of me and burn it for your dad to see.”
“Alright,” he said. Su lanxu took out her phone and took a few pictures of her. She looked beautiful from every angle.
Su Yu’s mother looked at herself in the photo, her eyes gentle and a little unfocused.
“Your dad loves to see me in dresses. He bought all my dresses for me. This is the first time I’m buying a dress for myself.”
Su lanxu didn’t notice her change. &Quot; daddy bought it for you in the past. I’ll buy it for you in the future! &Quot; Anyway, you’ll be pretty for the rest of your life.”
&Quot; is that so … &Quot; mother SU’s voice became weaker and weaker.
“Of course! Mom, in the future, I …”
Before su lanxu could finish her sentence, she fell backward.
&Quot; bang! &Quot; su Lan Xu did not even have time to react.
“Mom!”
Su lanxu picked her up in a hurry and called out to her, ” mom, mom, don’t scare me … Mom … &Quot;
