“Scram! Get out of here!” Shen Nan was agitated. Her eyes were red as she rushed towards her like a lunatic and grabbed her collar tightly. “Get out! Get out! It’s all because of you. It’s all because of you.”
“Mom.” Dongfang Meng cried as she ran over and pulled her away. She looked at her in pain. “Leave and don’t come over again. Our Dongfang Family doesn’t welcome you, and my sister doesn’t want to see you either.”
She knew that no one could be blamed for this, but her sister’s illness had really come strangely. She did not know who to blame or hate. She only knew that she had to find an outlet to vent her anger so that she would not break down.
“Meng Meng.” Wen Ruoshui approached her and calmed down. Her eyes were red as she looked at her and said in a hoarse voice, “Can I take a look at her? I’m begging you. I’ll leave after taking a look.”
“Don’t you understand what I’m saying?” Dongfang Meng growled and tried her best to calm down so that she wouldn’t hit her on the spot. She pointed at the door. “I told you to leave!”
Wen Ruoshui bit her lips and looked not far away with teary eyes. There were too many people around the bed, so she couldn’t see anything. She could only smell a faint fragrance in the air. It was Chu Chu’s favorite perfume.
Yan Yuanfei walked to Shen Nan and whispered something to her.
Shen Nan’s eyes were red and swollen as she looked at Dongfang Meng and said hoarsely, “Meng Meng, let her go over.”
Upon hearing her mother’s instructions, Dongfang Meng took a step back and made way.
Wen Ruoshui walked forward step by step and sat by her bed. She held her hand and looked at her thin and pale face. Tears fell silently. “Chu Chu, I’m here to see you.”
If she had known this would happen, she would not have left in the afternoon no matter what others said or how Auntie Shen Nan treated her.
She had not even seen her one last time!
The person on the bed lay quietly, as if she was asleep. However, she would never open her eyes or answer her questions again.
Dongfang Meng held onto Shen Nan, who was on the verge of collapsing. Her eyes were filled with grief and hatred.
She was a jinx. Everyone who had a good relationship with her would leave because of her. Her parents, her grandfather, and now her sister. Who would be next?
She said that she was not a jinx, and her grandfather and sister did not allow them to say that. Every time someone mentioned it, her sister would fight it out with them.
But now!
Her sister lay there and would never speak to them or open her eyes again.
“One look is enough, right?” Dongfang Meng rushed forward to pull her away and looked at her resentfully. “If you’re done, leave this place quickly. Our family doesn’t want to see you. Do you want my sister to die in peace and watch you quarrel with our family?”
“Chu Chu, I’m just here to see you. I’ll be leaving today. I’ll visit you in a few days.” After saying that, Wen Ruoshui took one last look at her before getting up to leave.
Yan Yuanfei supported her. When she walked to the door, she met Dongfang Xi, who was helped in by the butler. She nodded slightly. “Grandpa Dongfang, my condolences.”
Dongfang Xi did not say anything. She only looked at Wen Ruoshui quietly and said, “Don’t come over again in the future. I’m no longer your grandfather. I’ll get someone to hand over the assets your grandfather left you.”
Wen Ruoshui looked at him gratefully and said, “I understand. Thank you, Grandpa.”
Yan Yuanfei’s heart ached so much that he did not know what to do. He could not comfort her no matter what he said now. He could only accompany her quietly and watch over her.
When the duo reached the outside, they bumped into Huo Ci and Nangong Lengyu.
“Shui Shui, Chu Chu…” Before Nangong Lengyu could finish speaking, she sobbed. “Did they chase you out? How could they do this? Come in with me.”
Who Chu Chu wanted to see the most now was definitely Shui Shui. They were good sisters in this world who were closer than family!
“I’ve already seen her and spoken to her. Hurry up and go in!” Wen Ruoshui’s tone was very calm. “Don’t speak up for me. I don’t want you to worry about me when Chu Chu has already left.”
“But…” Nangong Lengyu cried miserably. This was too much.
How could the Dongfang family be so unreasonable? Didn’t they think about Chu Chu when they did this? How sad would Chu Chu be?
“The Dongfang Family is too unreasonable!” Huo Ci was annoyed. “Second Sister-in-law, wait here. I’ll go and reason with them.”
Although they were sad, it was understandable. However, how could they blame all the mistakes on Second Sister-in-law?
“Stop causing trouble.” Yan Yuanfei glared at him.
Now that things had come to this, could the Dongfang Family be persuaded with just a few words?
“Yu’er, take good care of Chu Chu for me. Tell her I’ll always be by her side.” Wen Ruoshui held Nangong Lengyu’s hand. “Go over. Chu Chu is waiting for you.”
“I understand. With me around, it’s as if you were there.” Nangong Lengyu wiped her tears forcefully. “I’ll send her off on your behalf.”
Yan Yuanfei reminded Huo Ci again not to talk nonsense when he went over. It was best to be mute and not say anything.
Huo Ci acknowledged and left with Nangong Lengyu.
Wen Ruoshui finally could not take it anymore. Her body softened and she fell into Yan Yuanfei’s embrace. In the end, she turned around and looked at Dongfang Chu’s bedroom window. “Let’s go!”
What did it matter if she sent her or not? Chu Chu would live in her heart forever.
In the car, Wen Ruoshui’s phone vibrated. She took it out and saw that it was a message. It was a timed message, and the sender was Dongfang Chu.
Chu Chu: Shui Shui, I might have to leave before you. Don’t be sad. I’ll always be by your side and protect you. I’m sorry that I couldn’t say goodbye to you personally.
Wen Ruoshui held her phone and finally broke down completely. She cried out in pain.
The day Dongfang Chu was buried was a rare sunny day. There were no clouds in the sky and the sun was shining brightly.
Wen Ruoshui looked up at the sky and vaguely saw her in the clouds, waving at her and smiling at her.
She stood in a corner of the cemetery and could see the corner of the funeral procession. She watched as she was buried and the people who came to pay their respects came and left one by one.
In the end, the Dongfang family left. Her grandfather, her parents, her sisters, uncles, aunts, and aunts left.
Only Nangong Lengyu and Huo Ci were left in front of the tombstone. The setting sun cast a very long shadow on them.
Yan Yuanfei looked at her and said gently, “Go over and talk to her.”
