October 30, Cemetery
Many people stood in front of Yang Xiansu's tombstone.
This year, more people came to worship, including Mr. Yang, An Jing, Sheng Jiaoyang and Shen Zhining who were pushing the cart for Mr. Yang, and even Xu Qing and Li Weiwei came.
"Sister Xiansu is so beautiful." Xu Qing looked at the photo on the tombstone.
Sheng Jiaoyang was standing nearby. After hearing Xu Qing's words, she also looked at the photo on the tombstone. Her mother's beauty was not in her skin, but in the gentleness between her eyebrows and her temperament. But indeed, it is beautiful to look at it this way, because her mother's appearance will always stay in her prime.
Mr. Yang bent over, placed the flowers in his hands in front of the tombstone, reached out to touch the photo on the tombstone, and looked at his daughter's smile on the photo. He was in a good mood this year, and said in his heart: "Susu, this year I Let's take everyone to see you, now our little Jiaojiao has a new identity, and we no longer have to worry about her health in the future."
"Xiao Qing, come here." Mr. Yang waved to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing walked to Mr. Yang and squatted down.
"Susu, this is Xu Qing. Although we are not related by blood, when I see her, I feel like I see you." Do you see it? This is Jiaojiao's current mother. Mr. Yang added in his mind.
Xu Qing looked at the photo on the tombstone, lamenting the untimely death of Hong Yan, and said: "Sister Xian Su, although we have never met, I already regard you as family in my heart. Don't worry, Jiaojiao and I will both be together in the future." Take good care of dad."
"Jiaojiao." Xu Qing turned around and called Sheng Jiaoyang.
Sheng Jiaoyang took a step forward, walked to Xu Qing, looked at the tombstone, and said proactively: "Mom Susu, I am Jiaojiao."
Xu Qing didn't find it strange and just said: "Sister Xiansu, this is my daughter Jiaojiao. It was because dad and Jiaojiao hit it off at first sight that we became a family."
The woman in the photo smiles gently and touchingly.
Mr. Yang said: "You guys go back to the car first, I want to stay a little longer. An Jing, you go out with Xiao Qing and the others. Jiaojiao, you and Zhining stay."
In front of the tombstone, only Mr. Yang, who was sitting in a wheelchair, as well as Sheng Jiaoyang and Shen Zhining were left.
Seeing the others leaving, Sheng Jiaoyang knelt down in front of the tombstone, looked at his mother's permanently lingering face in the photo, and said, "Mom, don't worry, I'm living a good life now, and I will live a better life in the future."
Mr. Yang looked at Sheng Jiaoyang, then at Shen Zhining, and said, "Do you still remember the relics I took you to the bank safe to get back last year?"
Sheng Jiaoyang turned to look at Mr. Yang.
"At that time, I thought it was impossible for you two to be together, so I took out the things in advance. I didn't expect that you are still together after going around in circles now." Mr. Yang's tone was full of emotion.
Sheng Jiaoyang smiled. She raised her head and glanced at Shen Zhining. To be honest, at that time, she was still glad that she got rid of the Great Demon King Shen. Who would have thought that in one year, she would have made a lifelong commitment to Shen Zhining. .
Shen Zhining thought of the letter Aunt Yang left for him, and he still remembered a passage in it:
Ning Ning, I know that you are the person who values relationships the most. Although I am not sure whether you and my little baby can spend the rest of their lives together, I hope you can take good care of Jiaojiao and don’t bully her like you did when you were little. At that time, she could cling to you like a piece of candy that you couldn’t get rid of because she had no friends, but I believe that my little baby will be a charming girl when she grows up, and she will definitely be very popular. You have to cherish it!
He had to be lucky that he chose to follow his feelings when he didn't know that Jiaojiao was Jiaoyang. Otherwise, he still wouldn't know who the person standing next to her is now. Aunt Yang is right when she says that Jiaojiao is indeed very popular when she grows up, and there are countless fans who are obsessed with her now. There is also the ambitious man watching from the side. He really should be on guard.
"Jiaojiao, Zhining, come here." Mr. Yang stretched out his hand towards the two of them.
Sheng Jiaoyang and Shen Zhining reached out to hold the old man's hand.
Mr. Yang put Sheng Jiaoyang's hand into Shen Zhining's. He patted the back of their hands and said, "Zhining, today I entrusted Jiaojiao to your care in front of your Aunt Yang. I hope Don’t live up to our expectations.”
Shen Zhining said firmly: "I will take good care of Jiaojiao. No one can separate us, including ourselves."
"That's good." Mr. Yang nodded happily.
Shen Zhining held Sheng Jiaoyang's hand tightly and looked at her, "I will be good to you forever."
"Then it depends on your performance." Sheng Jiaoyang smiled lightly.
Mr. Yang turned to look at the tombstone and said, "Susu, you saw it. You can rest in peace now."
When they were about to leave, they saw two people coming towards them, one of whom was sitting in a wheelchair.
It wasn't until the two of them got closer that they could see who it was.
Sheng Jiaoyang was shocked and looked at Sheng Xun who was sitting in the wheelchair, "What's wrong with you?"
She almost couldn't recognize Sheng Xun's appearance now. He was old and haggard, and he was still sitting in a wheelchair, looking like he was paralyzed.
Mr. Yang also looked surprised. He didn't expect that this man would be like this after not seeing him for several months.
When Sheng Xun saw Sheng Jiaoyang, his face lit up with joy, and then he said to the young man pushing the wheelchair: "Sheng Yi, go wait for me outside."
"uncle?"
"Go ahead and come back when I call you." Sheng Xun said.
Sheng Jiaoyang looked at him coldly. She also knew this young man. He was from the eldest brother Shengxun's family. He used to be her cousin, but now they have no relationship with him.
Sheng Yi glanced at the three people here and had no choice but to walk away, but he did not leave, he just walked a little further away and was still within sight.
"Why have you turned into such a ghost?" Mr. Yang's tone was a little cold.
Shengxun smiled and said, "You guys are here to see Susu too."
"Susu is my daughter, can't I come?" Mr. Yang looked at Shengxun. The current Shengxun looked nothing like the high-spirited young man who wanted to make Susu happy.
"That's not what I meant." Shengxun said quickly.
Sheng Jiaoyang felt very complicated when she saw him like this. In the family photo of their family of three, this man was handsome and handsome, with a look of expectation for the future in his eyebrows. But now, all his hair is gray, and his face is also full of vicissitudes of life. He looks older than some people who are over 60 years old.
"You..." Sheng Jiaoyang didn't know what to say.
Sheng Xun looked at Sheng Jiaoyang with gentle eyes and said, "Jiaojiao, I saw the show you participated in, and I was very happy to see that you two have a good relationship. When you were both young, everyone was very optimistic about you. "
Sheng Jiaoyang's lips moved, feeling a little uncomfortable for no reason.
"I don't know if I can ever see you get married..."
"What's wrong with you?" Sheng Jiaoyang interrupted him.
Shengxun smiled and said, "I had a stroke a while ago."
Sheng Jiaoyang frowned when she heard him say the word "stroke" so calmly. Although she still felt resentful, she really never thought about wanting him to become like this.
"You still have the nerve to say that you, a man under fifty years old, suffered a stroke, how ridiculous it is to say that!" Mr. Yang said coldly.
Shengxun didn't care, but said, "Dad, are you caring about me?"
Mr. Yang sneered and said, "Even if you die, it has nothing to do with me. Don't be so sentimental."
Shengxun smiled, and when his eyes saw the tombstone, the expression on his face dimmed.
He looked at Sheng Jiaoyang and said, "Jiaojiao, I have made a will and will leave all my assets to you."
"With your little assets, do you think we are so cute?" Mr. Yang snorted coldly.
Sheng Jiaoyang's expression was serious. She looked at Sheng Xun who seemed to be looking down on life and death, and her brows furrowed even more tightly, "What's wrong with your body?"
"It's okay, don't worry." After saying that, Shengxun suddenly changed again, "If I really die, Jiaojiao, will you be sad?"
Sheng Jiaoyang did not answer, she chose silence.
Shengxun had a wry smile on his face.
"If you talk about immortality, don't you just have a stroke? This is not about cancer. You, a person who is not even fifty years old, should not talk about these things. Jiaojiao is gone, don't keep them waiting for too long. "
After Mr. Yang finished speaking, he glanced at Sheng Xun, called Sheng Jiaoyang and Shen Zhining and left.
Sheng Jiaoyang turned to look at Sheng Xun, and that lonely figure came into view.
"Let's go." Shen Zhining put his arm around her shoulders.
Back in the car, Sheng Jiaoyang was in a low mood.
"What's wrong with Jiaojiao?" Xu Qing asked.
Sheng Jiaoyang shook his head and said nothing.
Xu Qing looked at Mr. Yang and saw that he didn't want to say more, so she had to look at Shen Zhining who was sitting next to Sheng Jiaoyang. The latter just shook his head slightly.
When he got home, Mr. Yang called Sheng Jiaoyang to go to the study.
"Jiaojiao, do you still hate Shengxun now?" Mr. Yang asked straight to the point.
The expression on Sheng Jiaoyang's face was a little dull. She was silent for a while and said, "I have never hated him. The most I can do is blame him."
"It seems that Shengxun is in a bad state. What do you think? Do you want to forgive him?"
Seeing Sheng Jiaoyang's silence, Mr. Yang continued: "A person under the age of fifty is so lifeless. It seems that he himself doesn't want to live anymore. He has even made a will."
Sheng Jiaoyang was shocked when she heard the word "will". She remembered Sheng Xun's will that he would leave all his property to her. In fact, Sheng Xun had said similar words to her more than once. He had also said this before. Give her all your property. But at that time she just took it as a joke.
"Oh, fate plays tricks on people. In the early years, I never thought that Shengxun would become like this. Jiaojiao, no matter how much resentment you have, let it go. Don't wait until the person is gone to regret not letting go earlier." Mr. Yang advised.
Sheng Jiaoyang didn't speak. Her mind was in chaos. Thinking of the appearance of Sheng Xun she saw today, she felt a little flustered.
"Think about it carefully." Mr. Yang didn't say much. He glanced at her and left the study. (To be continued)
