After attending the funeral of Yu Xiaoxuan’s parents, Shen Qinglan suddenly missed Fu Hengyi and took a taxi directly to the Beijing Military Region. It was raining at the time. Shen Qinglan got out of the car and waited in the rain for Fu Hengyi to come out to pick her up.
When Fu Hengyi saw Shen Qinglan standing in the rain, his face instantly darkened. He immediately covered Shen Qinglan’s head with the umbrella and lectured, “Why didn’t you bring an umbrella when you go out? What if you get sick? Dr. Zhong said, your body can’t get cold now…”
Shen Qinglan suddenly hugged Fu Hengyi’s waist. Fu Hengyi stopped talking and noticed that something was wrong with her mood. “What’s wrong, Qinglan, did something happen?”
“Yu Xiaoxuan’s parents? They died in a car accident.” Shen Qinglan said something, but Fu Hengyi was silent, but held Shen Qinglan tightly.
After Shen Qinglan calmed down a little, Fu Hengyi let go of her and took her back to the dormitory. When Shen Qinglan came out after taking a hot bath, Fu Hengyi had already cooked ginger soup for her.
“Drink the ginger soup first. Don’t catch a cold.” Fu Hengyi pointed to the ginger soup on the table and spoke. Shen Qinglan obediently picked up the ginger soup and drank it all in one gulp.
“Are you feeling better now?” Fu Hengyi said warmly.
Shen Qinglan nodded, “I’m fine, but I suddenly thought of grandma just now, so I was a little sad. Fu Hengyi, do you think I am becoming more and more hypocritical?” When she said this, Shen Qinglan’s tone was a bit self-deprecating. She really felt that since marrying Fu Hengyi, she had become hypocritical and was always sad.
Fu Hengyi chuckled, “You’re starting to think wildly again. It’s okay. I’m glad you are willing to share your feelings with me. Don’t think too much and have a good sleep.”
Shen Qinglan nodded, thinking about Yu Xiaoxuan’s parents these days. After the funeral, she was indeed exhausted. She lay on the bed and fell asleep soon after.
Fu Hengyi waited for her to fall asleep, then called Han Yi to find out what happened, then walked in again and covered her with a quilt.
When Shen Qinglan woke up, she saw Fu Hengyi sitting at the desk, working on the computer and typing. Seeing that she was awake, he closed the computer and asked, “You are awake! Are you hungry?”
Shen Qinglan did not answer his question. Instead, he asked, “Did I delay your work?”
Fu Hengyi shook his head, “No, I was just making a physical training schedule. Do you want noodles or dinner tonight?”
“I want to eat fried noodles.”
“Okay, wait.” Fu Hengyi walked directly into the kitchen.
After a while, Fu Hengyi came out with two bowls of noodles. After eating a bowl of noodles, Shen Qinglan did not stay in the military area, but went directly back to Shen family house. As soon as she arrived at Shen family house, she saw Shen Rang’s family.
“Sister-in-law, is dad awake?” Shen Rang asked as he looked at Chu Yunrong walking down the stairs.
“Not yet.” Chu Yunrong said. When she saw Shen Qinglan coming back, a smile appeared on her face, “Qinglan.”
Shen Qinglan greeted Chu Yunrong first, and then looked at Shen Rang’s family, “Second uncle.” She glanced at Lu Yaqin and called her second aunt.
Shen Qinglan’s call made Lu Yaqin’s eyes heat up. This was the first person from the Shen family to admit her identity. “Hey.” Pulling Shen Junze beside him, Shen Junze reluctantly called out “cousin.”
Shen Qinglan didn’t even look at him, Shen Qinglan naturally didn’t have a good face towards the culprit who sent her grandfather to the hospital because of his anger.
“Mom, I’ll go up and see grandpa.” Shen Qinglan said and went directly upstairs. Shen Junze’s face was very ugly and he glared at Shen Qinglan’s back.
In fact, Mr. Shen wasn’t sleeping. He just didn’t want to see Shen Rang’s family. When he saw Shen Qinglan, he smiled and said, “Lanlan, sit next to grandpa.”
Shen Qinglan sat down next to the old man, “Grandpa, how are you feeling, today?”
Mr. Shen smiled lovingly, “Grandpa is fine and recovering well. How is your friend?”
“The matter at home has been settled, but this incident has hit her hard. I’m afraid. It will take some time to recover.”
Mr. Shen sighed, “Please spend more time with her.” Mr. Shen still remembered Yu Xiaoxuan, who was a very lively and cheerful child.
“Yes, I know.” Shen Qinglan tidied the quilt for the old man, “Grandpa, second uncle…”
Shen Qinglan only mentioned two words, and Mr. Shen waved his hand, “Don’t mention him, let his family go.
Shen Qinglan pursed her lips slightly. She knew that the more Mr. Shen behaved like this, the more he must care about her second uncle. “Grandpa, my second uncle and the others have finally come back. Are you really unwilling to see them?”
“Yes.” Mr. Shen turned away and looked at the photo of his wife on the wall and said calmly.
When Shen Qinglan went downstairs, Shen Rang’s family was still there. “Second uncle, grandpa said that he doesn’t want to see you, so you can leave.”
The light in Shen Rang’s eyes dimmed. Lu Yaqin looked at her husband with great sadness. She regretted more and more that she had agreed to leave the capital with Shen Rang. If she had not been with Shen Rang at that time, Shen Rang would not be so sad now.
Lu Yaqin stood up and looked at Chu Yunrong with a begging look on her face, “Sister-in-law, please let me go up and see the old man. I will say a few words to the old man. I will not irritate the old man, okay?”
Chu Yunrong looked at her face. It was hard to show off.
“Okay.” Shen Qinglan said. Lu Yaqin’s face was happy and she glanced at Shen Qinglan gratefully.
“Lanlan, why did you bring her here?” Mr. Shen’s face immediately turned cold when he saw Lu Yaqin.
Lu Yaqin stood there helplessly, looking at Mr. Shen, and suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud, “Old man, all the mistakes are my fault. Please don’t blame Shen Rang anymore.”
Shen Qinglan did not expect her this move, so she frowned slightly. She didn’t like others kneeling down this easily. Mr. Shen also frowned, “Get up.”
Lu Yaqin didn’t get up, “Old man, I know I’m not worthy of Shen Rang, and if it weren’t for me back then, Shen Rang would have had a very good future. All of this was my fault. It is my fault. But now, if you want to blame, just blame me. Shen Rang has also had a hard time these years. Although he has never come back, he missed you all the time. Master, Shen Rang’s time is running out, please forgive him. I don’t want him to leave with regrets in the end.” Lu Yaqin’s face was filled with tears.
The expressions of Mr. Shen and Shen Qinglan changed when they heard this. Mr. Shen stared at Lu Yaqin closely, “What do you mean by what you just said? What does it mean that Shen Rang’s time is running out?”
Lu Yaqin shed more tears, “Shen Rang was diagnosed with liver cancer half a year ago, and now the cancer cells have spread. The doctor said that he doesn’t have much time left.”
Mr. Shen’s face instantly turned pale. If he hadn’t been sitting on the bed, he would have been unable to stand still. Shen Qinglan quickly got up. She stepped forward and patted the old man’s chest, “Grandpa.”
Mr. Shen finally regained his breath, “Is what you just said true?” He still couldn’t believe it.
Lu Yaqin cried and nodded. If she could, she would rather lie to the old man.
Mr. Shen was silent for a long time, then waved his hand, “Let him come in.”
Lu Yaqin was happy when she heard this, “Thank you, Mr. Shen, thank you.”
When Shen Rang learned that the old man was finally allowed to see him, he quickly went upstairs. The old man had already moved from the bed to the wheelchair, facing away from him.
There were only two people in the room, the old man and Shen Rang. “Dad.” Shen Rang called out.
“Kneel down.” Mr. Shen said, and Shen Rang was stunned.
“I told you to kneel down.” Mr. Shen said seriously. Shen Rang hesitated and finally knelt down.
Mr. Shen turned around and looked at Shen Rang who was kneeling on the ground, “Do you know where you went wrong?”
“Dad, I was unfilial. I shouldn’t have left you and mother alone for twenty years.
Mr. Shen looked at him with sharp eyes, “You are indeed unfilial. You actually abandoned your responsibilities and your family for a woman. Shen Rang, is this how I taught you since you were a child?”
Shen Rang was silent.
“Shen Rang, look at your mother’s photo for me, and tell me whether you are worthy of your mother’s and my expectations and teachings.”
Mr. Shen pointed at the photo of his deceased wife on the wall and whispered.
Shen Rang raised his head, looked at the photo, his eyes were red, “Dad, I’m sorry.”
“You are sorry for me, and you are even more sorry for your mother. She was still talking about her little son until she died, but what about you? Where were you?”
“Shen Rang, you have been smart since you were a child. You are better than your elder brother. It is also because of this that I asked your Uncle Fu to marry Jingting to you. But what about you? What did you do, go to someone else’s house to give Jingting her face? Jingting has been proud since she was a child. Where do you want her to put her face as a girl? Where do you let your Uncle Fu put his face? Where can I put the face of your mother and I? I, Shen Yuanyi, have been completely embarrassed by you!”
Shen Rang was silent. He was indeed sorry for Fu Jingting in this matter. “Dad, I know it was I who owe her. I can’t pay her back in this life, and I will definitely pay her back in the next life.”
“In the next life, who cares about your next life, Shen Rang, you wasted all the teachings your mother and I gave you.”
“Dad, I’m sorry.”
Mr. Shen gasped, “Shen Rang, let me ask you, why are you coming back now? Because you are going to die, so you want to come back and let me a white-haired person send a black-haired person away, right?”
Shen Rang suddenly raised his head, with a look of shock on his face, “Dad, how do you know?” After thinking about it, he understood in an instant. It was Lu Yaqin who told the old man.
“I understand, Shen Rang, you are very good. You are indeed a filial son. You also knew that you would come and let me take a look and let me know whether you are dead or alive, right?”
Shen Rang moved a few steps and moved in front of Mr. Shen, “Dad, it was my fault. No matter if you hit me or scold me, don’t be angry. Your body can’t withstand the torture.”
