There was no big fuss about the funeral, no funeral ceremony or memorial service. According to Mr. Murong's wishes, everything was kept simple.
At Murong Zheng's request during his lifetime, his grave was placed in Xia Yunshan's cemetery, close to Xia Yunshan's tombstone, so that he could always stay by his mother's side to accompany her.
Those who sent him to his grave were his closest friends, subordinates and relatives during his lifetime.
It was drizzling that day and the sky was gloomy. The farewell people were all wearing black clothes with little white flowers pinned to them and holding black umbrellas.
No one spoke, only grandma sobbed from time to time.
Bai gently held her father's urn and put it into the grave with her own hands, while Huo Yunchen kept an eye on her and held an umbrella for her.
Grandpa personally held a handful of loess and sprinkled the black urn on it. The old man did not cry, but just said: "Son, you are free, and you can finally do what you want to do."
The old voice gave people a particularly depressing sound.
Bai Qingqing didn't cry either. People don't have tears when they are extremely sad.
She didn't believe it before, but at that moment she really believed it.
It was as if his heart had also died, and all thoughts were lost.
After the tombstone was safely closed, everyone began to salute, send flowers, and say their last words to the deceased.
Bai Qingqing stood beside the tombstone like a log, staring down at her father's tombstone.
"Quietly, let's go."
Huo Yunchen spoke slowly and carefully.
Bai Qingqing bent down and picked up a white chrysanthemum, then turned around and brought it to her mother's tombstone.
He didn't speak for a long time, and when he spoke again, his voice was a little hoarse.
"Mom, dad is here to accompany you. Have you seen him? Mom, if you see dad, you two must be well."
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Huo Yunchen just held an umbrella for her, not caring that his back was getting wet.
Liu Runan saw the pain in her eyes and felt pain in her heart. She wanted to turn a blind eye, but she couldn't.
In my mind, I wanted to tell myself to ignore him, but my feet walked towards him unconsciously.
She wanted to raise her umbrella over his head to protect her from the wind and rain.
But before she could get close to him, she heard the heartbreaking cry of a child coming from in front of Murong Zheng's tombstone.
It's Tiantian. This child has not shown any sad emotions in the past few days since his grandpa passed away.
Go to school, get out of school, and train like a normal person.
The old man once thought that the child was cold-hearted, but it turned out that was not the case.
His crying made those who had left stop and look back, and his crying made those who had resisted crying secretly wipe their tears.
Bai Qingqing didn't care about the rain or the slippery road.
Pushing Huo Yunchen's umbrella away, he walked back to Tiantian and hugged the child's thin body.
Her face was covered with water, and she didn't know whether it was tears or rain.
"Tiantian, don't cry anymore. Grandpa misses grandma. He is very happy now because he can see grandma."
Bai gently choked with sobs and comforted her.
He said nothing every day and said nothing to her.
Just crying loudly, crying as if losing the most beloved thing, which makes people feel heartbroken.
Huo Yunchen handed the umbrella to Liu Mo, walked over and hugged Tiantian.
He held her forcefully in his arms and walked down the mountain, struggling rebelliously in his arms every day.
"I want grandpa, I want grandpa, I want grandpa."
Huo Yunchen ignored him, put him into the car, took out a towel and quickly wiped the tears from his hair and face.
He growled in a low voice: "What did your grandpa always teach you? Men don't shed tears easily. Grandpa doesn't want to see you cry. People will always die. Grandpa will die, and your mother and I will leave you one day, so What you have to learn from me is to make yourself stronger. Even if you want to cry, you can only shed the tears in your heart.”
Tiantian looked at his father's sharp eyes and stopped crying in aggrieved manner, not even daring to sob hard.
"Liu Mo takes the young master home."
"Yes, sir, won't you reply?"
As soon as Liu Mo asked, he felt that his question was too redundant.
The young lady has not left, how could the husband leave
The crowd dispersed, and Bai Qingqing discovered that Shen Qingyue and Huo Zhien were also here.
After everyone had left, he quietly sent a bouquet of flowers.
He said in a heavy tone: "I'm sorry."
Bai Qingqing stood behind her and listened silently.
That's her mother-in-law. To her husband, mother is the most important person to him.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have done so many things for her, right
Bai Qingqing stared at Shen Qingyue's back with sad eyes, as cold as ice, and her green-white fingertips dug deeply into the flesh of her palms.
She bit her lip and tried hard to restrain herself, but she still couldn't resist what the old doctor said jokingly with people in the bathroom.
"Mr. Huo worked really hard to get Miss Bai. It was clear that Miss Bai's mother contracted an unspeakable sexually transmitted disease because of her indecent private life. Her whole body was sore and itchy that she couldn't bear it and finally died of taking sleeping pills. Mr. Huo insisted on this. Let me tell Ms. Bai that her mother died of cancer, and she died peacefully. Everyone dies anyway, and it doesn’t matter how they died. As long as I have money, I can change the black to white. Miss Bai has been kept in the valley like a fool. She believes everything Mr. Huo says. I guess if this man named Huo sells her, she will have to count the money for him? "
Those words were like countless hornets burrowing into her ears from all directions, and her lips kept trembling.
She wanted to endure it, but in the end she couldn't control her emotions.
Bai Qingqing's trembling lips asked stubbornly, "I'm sorry? Mother-in-law, how do you think you're sorry for my father?"
Huo Zhien wanted to stop but Shen Qingyue stopped him. He looked at her deeply, smiled lightly and did not answer.
"If you don't answer, let me answer it for you. I'm sorry because you stubbornly thought that my father loved you, and you thought my mother had stolen your man. You are the eldest daughter of the Shen family, What kind of man do you want? Even Huo Zhien, the sole heir of the Huo family, is deeply in love with you, but you don't think it's enough. You insist on destroying them because you can't let anyone else do it? Got it. Am I right?"
Bai Qingqing's questions were full of resentment.
Originally, if her father was alive and well, she had no intention of delving into the past.
But her father died, and she had nowhere to vent her resentment.
She just wanted to ask Shen Qingyue if her conscience hurt
Shen Qingyue didn't reply, with a wry smile on her lips.
Huo Zhien couldn't bear to expose Shen Qingyue's scars again in vain and stepped forward to stop her: "Qingqing, I know you are very sad when your father passes away. But we are as sad as you are. Don't mention the past anymore. I am right to you and to her." It doesn’t do any of us any good, it just makes us sadder.”
"Are you sad? I think she should be happy. My mother is dead and my father is dead. Her goal has been achieved."
"Qing Qing, stop talking."
Huo Yunchen took a step forward and gently pulled Bai into his arms.
The umbrella was also lost, and the rain poured down on them both mercilessly.
"It's raining a lot, let's go home."
"I won't go home. I want your mother to apologize to my mother. I want her to kneel down and apologize to my mother."
Bai Qingqing struggled stubbornly in Huo Yunchen's arms, persisted stubbornly, and tried her best to demand every word.
She broke away from Huo Yunchen's Huaicheng and walked to Shen Qingyue. She pointed at her mother's tombstone and shouted: "Shen Qingyue, you think you are pretending to be nice to me so that I can forget everything you did to my mother." Yes? Yes, your son tried every means to find evidence to prove that you were not responsible for what happened to my mother. But if you hadn’t asked my mother out, if you hadn’t drugged her, if you hadn’t had evil intentions, how could you have done it? Gu Yulan's chance to harm my mother? Do you know? Five men, five beasts, they didn't treat my mother as a human being. Do you know how my mother got through those days? She was beaten, scolded and humiliated by Bai Zhengshan every day. She had the most unspeakable disease, not uterine cancer, but a sexually transmitted disease."
