The Day Before (1)
EndlessFantasy TranslationEndlessFantasy Translation
The Mu residence felt a lot quieter after Wang Hui passed away.
Xi Xiaye could sense a stifling atmosphere that made it difficult to breathe when she entered the living room.
Thud!
The sound of heavy footsteps came from the staircase, so she looked over and noticed Mu Lingshi coming down. Her red eyes seemed swollen from all the crying while her expression was pale and she looked exhausted.
Worried, Xi Xiaye quickly went over and held her arm. You look terrible. Maybe you shouldnt move around too much. Ill help you back to your room to get some sleep. Be mindful of the baby inside you as youll affect it if you dont rest well.
Mu Lingshi shook her head as she sobbed. Her voice became so hoarse that it sounded different than usual. Im fine. I cant sleep. I see Grandmothers face as soon as I close my eyes. Shes in pain, but she couldnt say anythingWerent things supposed to get better? Why did this happen?
After several days of exhaustion and sleepless nights, Mu Lingshi was on the brink of breaking down. Ah Mo had been helping out with the funeral, so Ji Zitong was in charge of accompanying Mu Lingshi for the past two days. However, Su Chen and Ji Zitong had just gone back home not too long ago.
We can only accept it now. I dont think Grandmother can rest in peace if youre like this. She was extremely concerned about your health when she was still around, wasnt she? Try not to overthink. Ill get you back to your room and Ill call you when dinners ready, Xi Xiaye said firmly but gently.
But
No buts unless you want to make everyone worried about you! No matter what, taking care of yourself is the best thing to do for Grandmothers sake right now! Xi Xiaye smiled at Mu Lingshi as she gave her belly a gentle pat. Who knows? Grandmother might have turned into a star and be watching over you and your baby!
Mu Lingshi put one hand on her belly as she stared blankly at Xi Xiaye like a lost girl who could not find her way home.
Xi Xiaye nodded. Shes gone, but our memories of her remain.
Mu Lingshi then gave up trying to convince Xi Xiaye, so she went back to bed and lay down. Xi Xiaye waited until she fell asleep before she left the room quietly.
How is she? Is she asleep? When Xi Xiaye left the room, she heard Ah Mos anxious voice.
She just fell asleep. You have to take good care of her. Shes lost so much weight in just a few days. Itll definitely affect both her and the child if this goes on. Stay at home and spend some time with her. Im sure she feels pressured and might get depression if she doesnt handle it well. Ill talk to your brother regarding work. Xi Xiaye was notably concerned.
Ah Mo was stunned for a moment. Alright then. Thank you, Sister-in-law.
Lets go down. I doubt shell wake up anytime soon. Wheres your brother? She was heading down the stairs.
Hes talking to father in the study room. By the way, Elder CEO Shen called just now. Brother took the call, but he didnt tell him about Grandmother, Ah Mo reminded her.
Pausing, she then nodded. Alright.
Mu Tangchuan and Mu Yuchen had a long conversation in the study room and only came out when dinner was ready. However, they both did not look very pleased.
All of them were not in the mood for a meal. They barely had the appetite after several bites. Mu Yinan and Mu Lingshi did not come downstairs. Since it was difficult for the two of them to fall asleep after going through such a heartbreaking experience, the others did not want to bother them.Read more chapter on v ip novel. com
A servant came over and informed Xi Xiaye that Zhuang Shurong wanted to see her in the study room after dinner. Before heading to the study, Xi Xiaye told Aunt Fang to pack up for Mu Xiaocheng.
Knock knock!
Zhuang Shurong was looking at a jade bracelet carefully when Xi Xiaye knocked on the door.
Come in! she replied as she straightened her back.
Xi Xiaye carefully opened the door. Mother, you called for me?
Yes, come here and have a seat! Zhuang Shurong had a gentle expression as she waved her hand, inviting her over.
Xi Xiaye went over and sat down on the chair before the table. Mother, whats the matter?
Sighing, Zhuang Shurong reached out to grab a rectangular box and placed it before Xi Xiaye as she spoke in a serious tone, This is a gift from your grandmother. Ah Chen told her to leave some for you before. She always kept it in mind. She wanted to give it to you during the New Year, but who wouldve thought that she couldnt wait that long? These are your grandmothers favorite. Shes been keeping these after your grandfather gave them to her for their wedding.
Your grandmother separated these into two sets: one for you, and the other for Lingshi. Keep it. Zhuang Shurongs eyes were peaceful as she smiled. It mustve been tough for all of you. She passed away so suddenly, no one saw it coming!
Xi Xiaye smiled gently as she looked at the box before her. I think you should keep it, Mother. Its too valuable.
Its yours. Of course, you should keep it. Its up to you what you do with them but keep them! Zhuang Shurong then continued, Please help look after Lingshi for the next few days. Im really worried about her.
Dont worry, Mother, I will!
Gu Lingsha and Qi Fengs wedding is coming soon. Im sure youve received their invitation, havent you? Zhuang Shurong suddenly asked.
Xi Xiaye was startled for a moment before nodding. Mmm, I bumped into Qi Feng outside the supermarket some time ago. He gave one to me and one to Ah Chen. It seems like its going to be pretty grand.
Of course, it will be. The Qi family isnt just a nobody.
