Xiaoqiao gently nodded her head.
She was indeed surprised, why did Lu Zihe's mother look for his.
"Eldest Sis, if you have anything to say, please say it directly." Xiaoqiao said.
Just now, she called Zou Ya Juan "Auntie" mainly because of her age difference. She gave herself the feeling of someone of the same generation as her mother.
The reason why Xiaoqiao had purposely shouted out the word "sister-in-law" so heavily now was because she wanted to prove to her that she and Yubei were already husband and wife under the law. Naturally, she should follow Yubei's words and address her as "sister-in-law".
As for the second reason...
Although Zou Ya Juan had yet to speak, Xiaoqiao felt that she had more or less guessed it.
If... Lu Zihe's mother truly wanted to seduce Lu Zihe and her together. In Xiaoqiao's opinion, this was also impossible.
Not only was it laughable, but it was also extremely absurd. She absolutely could not accept this.
Therefore, Xiaoqiao's "sister-in-law" could be considered as taking the lead and taking the initiative to express her attitude.
"Eldest Sister-in-Law?" As expected, Zou Ya Juan repeated those two words softly, her tone filled with melancholy.
"The way things are in the world is really unpredictable!" Zou Ya Juan sighed and said, "If it wasn't for this series of unexpected events and changes, you calling me that now might have been another name."
Xiaoqiao knew what Zou Ya Juan meant by "another name".
"Grandma."
However, how was this possible?
No, when she revealed the truth, she knew that the one who married her was still Lu Zihe. She would definitely insist on getting a divorce, so in Xiaoqiao's opinion, no matter how things changed, she would never be with Lu Zihe.
Joe, I know I don't have much time left, maybe only a few days, but as a mother, I'm still worried about Zi He. Can I have a request for you?" Zou Ya Juan looked pleadingly at Joe.
Xiaoqiao had indeed softened her heart. Towards the request of an elder who was at the brink of death, she could not have a heart of stone, nor could she be indifferent.
"Sister-in-law, speak. Xiaoqiao will do her best to do what she can."
"I can tell that Zihe really likes you, you can …" Give him a chance? " Zou Ya Juan used almost all the strength in her body to say those words.
But? Xiaoqiao felt very sad.
Slight and cheerful!
These four words perfectly described her current mood.
She wanted to laugh, to sneer, to laugh. She really wanted to laugh.
However … Considering Zou Ya Juan's serious condition, Xiaoqiao could only endure it and endure it with all her might.
What confidence did Zou Ya Juan have in making such a ridiculous request? Furthermore … Where did she put Yubei?
Let her give Lu Zihe a chance?
But she was Lu Zihe's aunt now, and Lu Zihe was her nephew. It was simply too ridiculous.
Xiaoqiao's hands, which were at her sides, fiercely clenched, and her nails dug into her flesh.
"Sister-in-law must be joking, Yubei and I are very close, I love him a lot." Xiaoqiao said.
In such a situation, it was impossible for her to agree or compromise.
"If I'm a fish, then Yubei is my water. If I leave him, I might forget to breathe."
Xiaoqiao looked at Zou Ya Juan. She had used a very good metaphor for him, a very simple metaphor, but the meaning behind it was extremely clear. Zou Ya Juan naturally understood it as well.
After seeing Xiaoqiao, she closed her eyes, indicating that she wanted to sleep.
Xiaoqiao pursed her lips, but did not explain anything.
Strangely, no one asked about their conversation.
For the next few days, Lu Zihe accompanied Zou Ya Juan. They did not leave day and night as they waited.
However … Some people, even if we do not want to, want to stay, in the end, there is no way.
There are many things that we cannot resist, and all that should come will eventually come.
On the fifth day, Zou Ya Juan stopped breathing twice, although she was saved in time by the doctor's cooperation.
But... Everyone knew in their hearts, what did this mean?
"Xiaoqiao, Xin, tonight, we might not be able to go back." At around 8 PM, Lu Yubei said to the two of them alone: "Elder Sister-in-law's situation is not looking well, the doctor just found me, maybe …."
Even if Lu Yubei did not finish his words, everyone understood.
That night, everyone was waiting outside. In order not to provoke Lu Zihe, they all stayed on the porch.
In the early hours of the morning, just as the clock was chiming for a few minutes, suddenly … A heart-wrenching sound came from the ward, "Mom … "Mom …"
"Mom, wake up, open your eyes and look, I'm Zihe, I'm Zihe!"
"Mom …" Don't do this, don't leave me, don't leave me alone. "
Hearing the call, everyone immediately ran into the ward.
But the scene in front of him was enough to explain everything.
Lu Zihe held onto his mother's hand and cried, but the pale woman on the sickbed had already closed her eyes, no longer alive.
This scene reminded Xiaoqiao of her own mother. The pain in her chest suddenly attacked, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Lu Yubei walked over and held Xiaoqiao in his arms.
"Zihe, my grandson!" Jiang Rong also cried, and hugged Lu Zihe very sadly.
"Grandma, dad is gone, mom is also gone. From now on, I have no parents and I'm all alone." Lu Zihe said with sorrow.
"Silly grandson, why is it you alone? You have your grandpa and grandma, we will accompany you forever. " Jiang Rong comforted Lu Zihe while patting his head.
On the other side, Xin was also crying very bitterly, her tears had also drenched her entire face.
Zhou Wei similarly hugged her, giving her the embrace he needed the most right now.
As for Lu Rui, he slid across the wheelchair to Lu Zihe's side and extended his hand out … He lightly patted his shoulder, and said a few words with extreme seriousness: "Zihe, Third Uncle will always be here."
Zou Ya Juan's funeral was on the second day. Due to the Lu family's circumstances, there weren't many people who came to offer their condolences. There were many famous figures in the business world who came from morning to night.
As for Lu Zihe, who had been immersed in his sorrowful emotions the entire time and was basically in no mood to entertain guests, it was basically Lu Yubei who had been busy from beginning to end.
When night fell, no one came.
When Xiaoqiao walked closer, she was still extremely depressed, his entire body was in a sorry state, his clothes had not been changed either, and one of them was by the side of the coffin, unwilling to let go.
"You haven't eaten for two days and two nights. Have some, your body won't be able to bear it." Xiaoqiao said as she looked at Lu Zihe.
"…"
After a while, there was no response.
"Even if it's for the sake of elder sister-in-law, you can't let your body be ruined." Xiaoqiao tried to persuade her again.
"…"
There was still no sound.
