Chapter 63 - Bad news of death

Because of Yu Cen Ran's participation, the mahjong once again began a new round. He reshuffled the cards and fumbled with them. The mahjong cards of various colors and patterns lined up in a row, making the South Bridge feel dizzy.

Yu Cen Ran slightly bent down. His body leaned on the two sides of the bridge as he glanced at the cards on the bridge. He chuckled to himself that he really had a good hand. He didn't know whether Yu Cen Ran was praising him or belittling him, but he pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

Yu Cen Ran looked away and her eyes fell on the card the other person was playing. Her voice was low and her knuckles were warm as she pointed at a card to let the South Bridge to play.

Yu Cen Ran was very close to her, and when she spoke, the hot air was blown all the way to her neck and face. Yu Cen Ran was very close, and when she spoke, the hot air was blown to her neck and face.

"Ah!" The three old grannies suddenly wailed and held their foreheads, looking like they were about to die.

Nanqiao didn't know what was going on. He looked at Yu Cen Ran behind him and saw the pride on his face. Only then did he realize that he had won.

Originally, they had thought that it would be fine to let it go, but the aunties were not convinced and quickly requested to play a few more rounds. The South Bridge was not going to be evasive either, following that the South Bridge side won again, and in a short while they won a lot of money.

The grandpas couldn't take it anymore, pointing at Yu Cen Ran and scolding, "Little Yu is such an eccentric wife, to be so ruthless, our family has already paid all our food expenses. How are we going to deal with this old man when we get back?"

Hearing this, Nanqiao also felt a bit bad, but Yu Cen Ran was in a good mood. He took out the money from the drawer and handed it over to the aunts.

The few old grannies looked at each other, wanting to lie to Yu Cen Ran. They didn't expect to be defeated by the counterattack. They could only laugh dryly, take the money and leave with their tails between their legs.

Grandma told the other onlookers to quickly leave as well. She ordered them to leave as she said, "The villagers are always thinking of taking advantage of us. Xiao Yu, teach us a lesson. Don't let others bully us."

After everyone left, the house became quiet once more.

Nanqiao had gone to the shower room and had been tormented for the entire night. His eyes were so heavy that he looked like he was about to get into a fight. When he finished washing up, he fell onto his bed and almost fell asleep.

After Yu Cen Ran finished washing up, she saw Nan Qiao lying on the edge of the bed, her body swaying. She picked up the phone and looked at the news before reaching out her big, noble hands to help him get back to sleep.

Placing the phone on the bedside table, Yu Cen Ran sat quietly on the bed. Her long fingers gently pinched the South Bridge's delicate chin as she scrutinized it.

Under the light from the bedside lamp, Yu Cen Ran gazed for a while as her thoughts drifted away. Then, she crossed her long legs and lifted the quilt. With her large hands, she embraced South Bridge's body.

Yu Cen Ran was very satisfied. She closed her eyes and slept soundly …

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed. Yu Cen Ran and Nanqiao spent a few simple and beautiful days in Yunxi. It was already the weekend, so Nanqiao woke up early in the morning and started working with her grandma in the backyard.

First, he had to pull weeds and water his own backyard. During this period of time, he didn't have enough people in the village, so he called Yu Cen Ran over to help him while he helped him cook.

On the table was a stack of dumplings skin and a bowl of meat stuffing. The grandma had already finished cooking and was absent-minded. She was busy making dumplings skin with her hands, but her eyelids kept jumping.

He took a handkerchief and wiped his hands, rubbing his brow like green onions, but the uneasiness in his heart did not diminish in the slightest. From this morning, the South Bridge had always been unsettled.

An indescribable feeling.

At this moment, Yu Cen Ran and his grandma came back from outside. Seeing that there were only a few dumplings on the table, their grandma frowned in dissatisfaction.

Yu Cen Ran helped to smooth things over. When Grandma walked into the kitchen, Yu Cen Ran came over and lowered her voice. Nan Qiao only shook her head, unable to explain.

After some thought, Yu Cen Ran put aside the tools in her hand and washed her hands by the sink. She then walked to the South Bridge and sat down. With a slight movement of her long fingers, a beautiful dumpling was formed in her hands.

It was even prettier than the South Bridge!

Nanqiao covered his mouth in amazement and began to act shamelessly. "Since you know how to make dumplings, it's better if you came."

Yu Cen Ran's thin lips curled up. She could have rejected him, but when she saw the ugly expression on his face, she couldn't help but clap her hands and send him to rest.

"Yes." Nanqiao replied obediently.

He walked back into his room and glanced at the cell phone he was charging. Thinking that there was no place to play, he took out his phone. At this moment, his phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.

Nanqiao raised his eyebrows. Doubt arose in his heart as he pressed the answer button. "Hello. Hello."

"Hello, may I ask if you are Zhang Fenglan's family member?"

South Bridge tilted his head and listened, his face suddenly becoming deathly pale, as if someone had sucked all the blood out of his body. The person on the other side had finished speaking and had been asking if South Bridge was still listening, but she hadn't come back to her senses.

Nanqiao's eyes were unfocused, as if he had lost his soul. Those words constantly echoed in his ears, "Hello, Zhang Fenglan's family member. Ms. Zhang Fenglan's current condition is very unstable. Family members, please be mentally prepared!"

Be psychologically prepared

Nanqiao came back to her senses and pressed the light button on the cell phone screen. Previously, her phone had been turned off due to lack of battery. Now that the phone was turned on, she realized that there were quite a few calls coming in.

However, he did not see the south bridge! She actually did not see it!

In the main hall, Yu Cen Ran had already wrapped the dumplings and prepared the dishes. She went upstairs to call for the South Bridge, but when she walked into the room, the scene in front of her made her throat tighten!

On the gloomy and cold ground, South Bridge was sitting with his hair in a mess. His eyes lost all of the light, and two streams of tears flowed out from his eyes.

Yu Cen Ran's gaze tightened as she walked over. Before she could ask what was going on, Nan Qiao suddenly reached out and hugged his neck as she sobbed pitifully, "Yu Cen Ran, save my mother! "Save her!"

"What's wrong?" Yu Cen Ran's eyes were deeply creased, and Nanqiao was crying so hard that she couldn't even speak properly.

Yu Cen Ran gently patted South Bridge's back to ease the atmosphere. His big palm was warm as he stroked his back. South Bridge calmed down a little and told Yu Cen Ran about the call from the hospital.

Nanqiao raised his head, his eyes brimming with tears. "I only have my mother now. She is my best kin. If I can even make her …"

Yu Cen Ran didn't say a word. She picked up the coat that was placed on the sofa and pulled Nan Qiao's hand as she walked out. As she passed by the main hall, her grandma came out of the kitchen. "Where are you going?"

"We have something important to take care of. We'll head back to A City first."

Yu Cen Ran's tone was stiff and she sounded like she wasn't in a good mood. The grandma thought it was a quarrel between a couple and pouted but didn't say anything. She then thought of something and quickly ran back to the kitchen.

Yu Cen Ran opened the car door, got on the South Bridge, and sat on the passenger seat. Yu Cen Ran walked around the car to the driver's seat and was about to start the engine when Ah'ma came out of the house, staggering.

"Elder!" Nanqiao's voice was choked with sobs.

Grandma handed the two thermos bottles over to Nanqiao. "City A's a long distance away. You must be hungry on the way. Dumplings have already been prepared, take your food along with you!"

"Yes!"

After a pause, the old woman leaned close to the South Bridge and said in a low voice, "Actually, Little Yu is a very good man. You and your wife should take more responsibility between yourselves. Don't quarrel, okay? Nothing is impossible, you know? "

The old woman's voice sounded in his ear. A sour feeling rose from the bridge of the South Bridge. His eyes were burning hot and he almost couldn't hold it in anymore. Yu Cen Ran told the old woman to hurry and without any hesitation, the car shot out like an arrow that had left the bowstring.

It was already evening by the time he returned to City A, he had been driving for a long time. In order to be in a hurry and not have a bite to eat, Yu Cen Ran was clearly exhausted.

The two of them rushed to the City People's Hospital without stopping.

Zhang Fenglan had already disappeared from the ward. Nanqiao and Yu Cen Ran rushed directly to the emergency room to wait. The emergency room's light showed a red light. According to the nurse, this red light had been maintained for several hours already.

"How could this be?" Nanqiao took a few steps back, feeling as if all the strength in his body had been sucked away.

His body staggered and he was about to lose his balance. Yu Cen Ran stretched out her arms and supported the South Bridge from behind. Seeing that she wasn't in a good condition, she helped South Bridge to sit down on a stool beside the emergency room.

Nanqiao's vision was unfocused as he mumbled to himself. As he kept repeating those words, Yu Cen Ran's heart ached. She put her arm around his shoulders and said, "It will be fine. Don't mess up for now."

Will it really be okay? South Bridge did not ask this question, but only consoled herself in her heart. Her mother was the only person in this world that truly cared for her. South Bridge could not imagine …

After a long time, when Nanqiao thought that the world had stopped spinning, the lights in the operating room went out, the door slowly opened, and Nanqiao and Yu Cen Ran walked up to see the chief surgeon in a white coat and a group of assistants walking out.

The chief doctor glanced at Nanqiao and Yu Cen Ran, took off the mask on his face and said, "Zhang Fenglan's family members, I'm sorry, we have done our best. Zhang Fenglan has passed away, please grieve."

Nanqiao's body suddenly stiffened as if he had been struck by lightning! The doctor's words echoed in his ears --

Dead

I did my best

Nan Qiao shook her head, her expression crazed, and grabbed the doctor's hand. "It can't be, you're joking right? "My mom was fine a few days ago, how could she …"

The doctor was expressionless as he lowered his eyes. "I'm sorry, we tried our best!"

South Bridge suddenly hated the hospital, hated this profession called Doctor in the world. It clearly could have saved lives, so how could he just say a few perfunctory words to dismiss people?

Nanqiao's heart tightened, and even his breathing became uncomfortable. In his mind, all he could think about was the little by little things that had happened between him and Zhang Fenglan while they were alive.
