"Are you... Here?"
Ling Tian is like a dying old man. At the age of 54, he is like a 70 year old man. His hair is gray and his eyes are absent. He has long lost the look of the original president of Bluestar.
Ling Xue sat at the head of the bed with tears in her eyes and said, "Dad, this is not true? Is it? You... You can live a long time, can't you?"
Ling Tian smiled miserably: "long time? I... the only thing I regret is that I didn't see Ling Xue's wedding with my own eyes. I'm sorry, I didn't fulfill my responsibility as a father..."
Ling Xue cried more fiercely: "no... no, you did your best, you are the best..."
Ling Tian coughed hurriedly and said, "Ling Xue, between you and Ling Yue, I spoil you too much. Ling Yue goes abroad too early and has a strong character. You are different. However, what I worry about most is Ling Yue. I know my daughter's temperament best. She won't look back..."
Then Ling Tian glanced at several people in suits next to him and whispered, "Ling Xue, I have made a will. The blue star shares I personally hold are divided into three parts. You account for 45%, Ling Yue accounts for 45%, and scholars account for 10%. After my death, all handover procedures should be handled carefully."
Ling Xue shook her head bitterly and cried, "Dad can't die. I don't want any shares..."
……
Ling Tian smiled faintly, his eyes fell on me and said: "Scholar, I know you may hate me, but remember, for me, Ling Xue and Ling Yue are all I have, and I can't let them get hurt. When I forced you to leave Suzhou, in fact, I already knew my condition, and I must let you go out to practice, otherwise, I'm really worried. I hope you won't blame me..."
I nodded and said calmly, "I know, uncle."
"Although you and Ling Xue are not married..." Ling Tian suddenly regained some look in his absent-minded eyes and murmured, "but I have already regarded you as my own child. Can't you call me dad?"
Lingtian's tone was close to begging. It was unimaginable that he would talk to another person like this.
I choked and whispered, "Dad..."
"Yes."
Ling Tian closed his eyes as if he had a hard time talking. When he opened his eyes again, the look in his eyes disappeared again. He looked at the ceiling and sighed: "unfortunately, Ling Yue and Qin Yun didn't have time to come back. I didn't expect that I couldn't see my other daughter before Ling Tian died..."
Ling Xue held Ling Tian's hand tightly and cried, "Dad, my sister is not here, I will always be with you."
"Oh..."
Ling Tian smiled really, even brightly, and seemed to fall into a distant memory: "Ling Xue, you and Ling Yue are as considerate and beautiful as your mother. I have no regrets that Ling Tian can have such a virtuous wife and such a sensible daughter in my life."
As like as two peas, you remember that year when you and Lingyue had 8 years old birthday, your mother ran around the stalls to buy a pair of identical shoes.
"Your mother often says that her two daughters will be the most beautiful girls in the world in the future. She is right. My two daughters are as beautiful as her." Ling Tian coughed violently and said: "Your mother's health has not been very good, but she still insists on going to the store every day. She is busy late at night and doesn't forget to bring you delicious snacks. However, when she is dying, you both go to school in other places. Alas, her reluctant eyes when she leaves make me feel distressed for a long time, for a long time..."
Ling Tian breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly smiled and said, "I've only loved one woman in my life. After your mother died, I haven't been close to any woman. At least, I'm worthy of her love and don't owe anyone. Even if I die, I can go to see your mother with a smile..."
Ling Xue lies on Ling Tian's chest and sobs. Ling Tian reaches out his hand to gently caress his daughter's long hair, smiles and says, "don't cry, dad just... Just reunited with his mother far away, really..."
Ling Xue cried bitterly.
Ling Tian's words couldn't deceive him. Several subordinates around him secretly wiped away their tears.
……
Ling Tian has been remembering. It seems that she is afraid that Ling Xue has forgotten the past fragments. She has been talking about the story of her mother, Ling Xue and Ling Yue. Ling Xue wiped her tears and kept beside the hospital bed. The doctor warned Ling Tian not to talk too much. Ling Tian told him that the value of her remaining life is not to close her eyes and rest, but to share the happiness of the past with her daughter.
But Ling Xue kept crying. Ling Tian said with tears, and explained several senior executives of Bluestar Group, just like Tuogu on his deathbed.
"After my death, Ling Xue is the president of Bluestar Group." Ling Tian looked at several senior managers around and said, "I hope you can help her more and don't let me die in peace."
"Don't worry, president!" those people nodded together.
Ling Tian looked at me again and said, "scholar, you are wronged to be the president's assistant. Work with Ling Xue to run the blue star. Learn more and ask more. They will all be your teachers."
I nodded, "yes."
Ling Tian added: "Bluestar's science and Technology Department will join Yueheng company. The contract has been drawn up and Ling Xue can sign it. Therefore, things in the game can't be relaxed. Bluestar's technical backbone will directly participate in the design and planning of Yueheng's next game. You need to have a foothold in the game."
"Well, I know."
Ling Tian nodded and said happily, "I'm relieved. Finally, I'd like to advise you to be better to Ling Xue. If you lose her, I'll never let you go! Also, Ling Xue, your aunt has returned from France recently. When you and the scholar get married, let her take charge. Your marriage can't lack the blessing of your elders. I'll look at you from heaven."
Ling Xue nodded: "I see, Dad..."
Ling Tian heaved a sigh and said, "unfortunately, I can't see the last side of Ling Yue..."
"My sister has booked a ticket for tomorrow and will be able to come back..." Ling Xue said.
"Oh, probably not..."
Ling Tian began to breathe heavily. It seemed that he was out of breath.
……
Soon after, Gufen came, talked with Ling Tian for a while, and greeted me: "scholar, come out!"
It was late at night when I came to the corridor of the hospital.
Gu Fen looked out of the window at the stars, wiped his tears and said, "I've been friends with Ling Tian for more than ten years. I didn't expect that such a strong bastard would be so fragile today."
I silently looked out of the window and didn't speak. I felt very sad. Ling Xue must be very sad, but I couldn't comfort her at all.
Gufen asked again, "do you know about Ling Tian's will? His shares were distributed to Ling Xue and Ling Yue, and you got 10%, but there are a lot of them. Ordinary people can't make so much money after struggling for hundreds of lives."
I nodded: "later..."
Gu Fen smiled faintly: "will you blame him for giving you too little? In fact, don't blame him. Ling Tian protected his two daughters so well that he left such a hand before he died. If you don't marry Ling Xue within five years, take back all the shares and return them to Ling Xue, this is a restrictive testamentary treaty."
I couldn't help smiling bitterly: "what I want is Ling Xue, not the 10% share."
"Well, in this way, Ling Tian didn't read you wrong."
Gu Fen said: "blue star has joined Yueheng company. You are probably the president of the game business department. Scholar, work hard. In the future, it will be yours! By the way, the snow moon will participate in WSL in 10 days, which is very important to you."
"Not in the mood..."
"If you are not in the mood to participate, this is Lingtian's request to you. If you don't believe it, you can ask Lingxue. Just now, Lingtian mentioned this matter. Don't delay important things because of sadness. XueYue is already a symbol guild in China. If you decline, it will have a great impact on the international status of the whole China."
"I see, uncle."
Gufen handed me a cigarette. I took it and lit it. I took two deep breaths. I choked tears and asked, "uncle, your nephew Xun Fang was forced to delete the number by me. Won't you be angry?"
"No." Gu Fen said faintly, "although that boy has his own career, it always makes me feel that he doesn't do his job. He mixes with those unknown boys all day. After deleting the number, he hasn't contacted me again in a month, and he doesn't know where to fool around."
"Alas..."
"Don't sigh, young man, everything will be all right." Gu Fen said, but he sighed again: "When people die, the lights go out, and one friend after another goes away. Sometimes, I really feel desolate and lonely in this world. I can even see my own shadow on Ling Tian, but the old guy is much luckier than me. At least he has two girls who are so sensible..."
The solitary grave is a little desolate.
I sighed a few words and sat until dawn.
One night, Ling Tian only slept a little, while Ling Xue has cried red eyes.
……
At 10:54 am, Lingtian's heart stopped beating.
……
Ling Xue was so sad that she cried that she finally fainted. She was arranged in the ward next door, and Ling Tian's body was arranged in the morgue.
All the rest is up to me. The funeral is three days later, and the body will be kept until tomorrow. This evening, Ling Yue and Qin Yun will arrive in Shanghai.
"Scholar, I'm sorry for the change!"
Green, vice president of Bluestar, patted me on the shoulder and said that in fact, he took care of most of the funerals.
"Uncle Ge, I'm fine."
"Well, that's good. Go and see Ling Xue. She must be very weak, alas..."
I nodded and came to Ling Xue's ward, but found that Ling Xue had not woke up. Tears hung on her beautiful face. When I opened the door, she seemed frightened, trembling and talking in a dream: "Dad... Dad... Don't go, I won't make you angry anymore, don't go..."
Two lines of clear tears fell. Ling Xue frowned and woke up crying from her dream.
