Chapter 64 - I'm Your Only Family

Yu Cen Ran's eyes turned red and her heart was tangled.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Cen Ran hesitated again. She wanted to hug South Bridge, but she was mercilessly pushed away. South Bridge was in a state of chaos and she had no one to rely on.

Leaning against the wall, South Bridge's body fell to the ground.

Yu Cen Ran, "..."

He was silent and speechless. Or perhaps, he simply did not know where to start to console him. Life and death parting between relatives always made people feel helpless.

Nanqiao sobbed softly as he covered his face with his hands. His voice was choked with sobs as he said in a nasal voice, "Yu Cen Ran, let me calm down a bit. I want to be alone."

Yu Cen Ran didn't say anything. She clenched her fingers into a fist and let go. After a while, she looked away and said, "Alright."

Travelling all the way back and forth, yet getting such a result. Yu Cen Ran could not help but feel upset. In his heart, she truly treated Zhang Fenglan as a family member and cared for her.

How could he just die like that?

A lot of questions arose in Yu Cen Ran's heart. Even before she left A City, Zhang Fenglan was still looking in the direction the doctor had left. She pursed her lips, moved her long legs, and decided to go find the doctor to understand the situation.

Outside of the crowded emergency room, South Bridge squatted on the ground and cried. No one came forward to comfort her, as most people here were already used to seeing life and death leave, it was just a common occurrence.

Just as Yu Cen Ran left, a man appeared at the back of her foot. This man was the last person she wanted to see on the South Bridge — her father, the Southern Heaven and Earth.

His beard was never modified, and he dressed like a local ruffian. South Heaven walked over and kicked South Bridge, but South Bridge ignored him. He kicked South Bridge a few more times, increasing the force of the kick.

Finally, the South Bridge's face rose from between its legs. It glared at the South Heaven and its eyes were blood-red, but it did not feel like it wanted to speak with him.

It didn't matter. Nan Qiankun looked into the emergency room, then shifted his gaze back to the South Bridge. He put on a roguish smile and asked, "Is Zhang Fenglan really dead?"

There was no sadness in her tone. There was no sadness. Instead, there was only indifference, as if she was discussing someone who had nothing to do with her.

Nan Qiao felt sad for her mother in her heart. This was a man who was heartless, cold-blooded, and never cared about others. She only knew how to take things from others.

Nanqiao had originally thought that after her mother was discharged from the hospital, she would tell Yu Cen Ran that she would bring her mother to live with her at the villa. Nanqiao had vowed to make her mother happy, but before she could act, her mother Zhang Fenglan had already left this world.

After thinking for a long time, South Bridge propped itself up against the wall. It had been squatting for too long, so its legs were somewhat numb.

Nanqiao forcefully endured the discomfort in his heart. When he walked in and saw it, his mood almost collapsed!

Pale overhead lights, all kinds of medical electronic equipment, a single bed, and the smell of the worst disinfectant in the hospital

His mother, the woman who used to love him the most in the world, was now lying on the sickbed without any blood or life. The doctor had not covered Zhang Fenglan with a white cloth, and not long after she had left, Zhang Fenglan's body was still soft.

Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be the same as yesterday. However, the only difference was that it seemed to be asleep.

Her legs felt weak. She walked a few steps to the bedside and leaned on the railing with both hands, caressing Zhang Fenglan's cheeks and brushing away the hair on her forehead. She murmured as if she was in a trance, "Mom, you should get up, don't sleep, okay?"

However, no matter how much the south bridge called, Zhang Fenglan just lay there without moving.

Her mother's world was already separated from hers by a cycle of Yin and Yang.

Nan Qiao's expression collapsed, and tears welled up in her eyes, "Mom, you really scared me, stop playing, okay? Didn't you say that you would live with me after leaving the hospital? "Why?"

Everything was clearly about to be arranged. A green mountain, a spacious and comfortable villa, with Yu Sang Ran, her, her, her mother, and a housekeeper. The family will be reunited soon …]

But now, the South Bridge felt like its dream had been shattered. It didn't even have the time to rise before it vanished into nothingness.

Her heart slowly tightened, and South Bridge felt like she was almost unable to breathe. It was so painful that it felt like someone was covering her chest. Finally, she could no longer bear it and began to cry bitterly beside Zhang Fenglan's corpse.

Tears streamed down his face as he broke through the dam. His eyes were blurry as memories of the past flashed across his mind —

After being beaten up by her father, South Heaven, her mother, Zhang Fenglan, held South Bridge tightly in her arms, afraid but unyielding. "Don't hit your daughter, if you want to, then hit me. In any case, we don't have a single cent left in our family!"

Because her father's debtor had come to school, Nanqiao was so scared that she didn't know what to do. Zhang Fenglan came again to bring her home, and the mother and daughter hid away. Their figures were elongated by the setting sun, appearing endlessly desolate …

He could still remember his mother sitting on the sickbed with her skinny hands stroking the South Bridge's face and sighing, "If I had a good home, then I wouldn't have to work so hard. I just hope you wouldn't suffer as hard as I do."

Zhang Fenglan's hand also patted the back of the South Bridge, and every word she said seemed extremely precious at this moment!

On the other side.

Nan Qiankun leaned against the doorframe, his dirty hands fumbling in his pockets. Then he took out a cigarette, lit up his lighter, and breathed in and out in front of the dead man without any scruples. It was a stark contrast to the heart-wrenching pain of the South Bridge!

South Bridge smelled the smoke and turned his head to glare at South Heaven, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction.

Nan Qiankun was instantly angered. He lifted his foot, took off his shoes, and threw them towards the South Bridge. The South Bridge did not dodge, and just happened to hit the back of his head. A sharp pain attacked.

Nan Qiankun shouted loudly, "Who are you trying to show your face to? I'm your old man, why don't you go and die with your mother!"

They would die together. Those were the words his father would say to his own daughter!

What a good father!

The South Bridge did not move at all, kneeling straight in front of Zhang Fenglan. The South Bridge tried its best to ignore the evil words uttered by the South Heaven, but the words coming out of the South Heaven were becoming more and more unpleasant to listen to, and the hand hanging by her side slightly tightened.

There's no ivory in the dog's mouth!

South Heaven had always been like this. It was just that his mother had passed away, but South Heaven still did not know how to restrain itself. South Bridge's heart was filled with grief and indignation. He wanted nothing more than to tear South Heaven in front of him with his bare hands.

Nan Qiankun was still cursing on the side, "So what if he's dead? A sudden illness is something the heavens wanted her to do. They had no choice but to save his."

Now, the South Bridge was no longer silent. She suddenly turned around and her gaze deeply fell on the body of the South Universe. Her eyes narrowed as she asked, "How do you know that mother suddenly became ill?"

Nan Qiankun was stunned for a moment. He reacted very quickly, but his words were somewhat vague, "Didn't the doctor already say so!? [Your mother is in bad health. She has been living in the hospital for long enough. It's only a matter of time before she leaves after wasting some money …]

Shaking his head, South Bridge did not believe it from the bottom of his heart. For some reason, South Bridge always felt that the South Heaven had spoken with a guilty conscience. Compared to explaining, it was more like a sophistry!

When the South Heaven arrived, the doctor had already left, and South Bridge didn't remember him mentioning the cause of his mother's death at all. Furthermore, his mother had been in good health for a while, so she could leave the hospital without excessive emotional stimulation.

How could he suddenly die?

Squinting his eyes, South Bridge thought of something. Suddenly, a chill ran through his heart. He quickly stood up and rushed towards South Bridge.

The South Bridge was approaching in full fury. The South and Sky Rivers were frightened by her actions. They did not know what the South Bridge would do, so the South and Sky Rivers took a few steps back.

South Bridge glared straight at South Heaven, his voice completely cold. He asked, "Tell me honestly, did you do something to my mother again, did you ask her for money, did you hit her? Are you the one who caused her illness! "

He didn't know where this courage and strength came from, but before the South Bridge could respond, it stretched out its hand and grabbed the South Bridge fiercely, pulling the South Bridge's collar towards the corpse on the sickbed.

He, a man, could not even break free. As he walked, he angrily shouted, "South Bridge, you dead thing, what are you trying to do now!"

Caught off guard, Nan Qiankun fell on the ground in a very sorry state. He raised his eyes and saw that he was just in front of Zhang Fenglan's sickbed, and his legs were slightly bent due to gravity and inertia, making him look like he was kneeling in front of Zhang Fenglan.

"South Bridge!" Nan Qiankun grimaced in pain.

South Bridge looked down at South Heaven with a cold and gloomy aura. His voice was extremely cold. "Now, tell me everything that happened in front of my mother's divine being if you still have any conscience!"

Before she finished speaking, a heavy blow landed on South Bridge's face, which was extremely loud and clear. South Bridge was hit so hard that her face was tilted to the side, and a red and swollen palm print immediately appeared on her face.

Nan Qiankun stood up, spat at Zhang Fenglan's corpse, and then looked at South Bridge with disdain, "Conscience! I would like to ask where your conscience is, and whether you were eaten by a dog! "

Nan Qiankun was not satisfied. He raised his head and saw that South Bridge was still stubbornly staring at him. He didn't avoid it in the slightest. A hint of anger rose up and South Heaven threw out a few more slaps. This time, South Bridge dodged.

Nan Qiankun took a sip of his saliva, and then heavily poked South Bridge's forehead with his finger. "You heartless dead thing, let me tell you, I'm your only family now, don't talk to me like that anymore!"

Chapter 65 Will It Be Daylight

Yu Cen Ran pushed open the door and saw the scene before her. Her eyes narrowed as she pulled the South Bridge over, protecting it behind her. She picked up the South Bridge's exquisite chin and carefully examined it. Her forehead was dark red.

Yu Cen Ran's eyes were filled with coldness. He turned his head and stretched out his hand, but before Nan Qiankun could react, his neck was already gripped tightly by Yu Cen. His strength was too great, and he was unable to pry open the fingers around his neck with all his might.

"Save me!" The air was being continuously sucked out from his lungs. The eyes of the Southern Universe started to roll upwards, revealing a large amount of white in their eyes.

Yu Cen Ran's thin lips revealed a cold sneer, as if she wasn't affected at all. It was as if the life and death of the South Heaven were as lowly as an ant in his eyes.

The blood all over his body seemed to be stuck on his neck. When the South Heaven and the South Heaven saw that Yu Cen Ran was not moved in the slightest, they could only helplessly extend their hands to look at the South Bridge.

"My daughter, your daughter, save me!" Nan Qiankun's voice was delicate. It seemed like he was going to die soon.

The South Bridge stood at the side, not even sparing a glance at the South Heaven. She could not forget how the South Heaven had treated her and her recently deceased mother.

Oh, that's right. What did he think of? The South Bridge turned around and walked in front of the South Heaven and gave it a mimicry. He also gave the South Heaven a big supercilious look, instantly relieving his anger.

However, the South Bridge was still a rational person. She could not just sit by and watch South Heaven and Earth being strangled to death in front of her. This sort of feeling was like seeing a person on the verge of drowning.

After another minute, South Bridge suddenly put a hand on Yu Cen Ran's arm, and said lightly, "Forget it, he's already learned his lesson."

It had nothing to do with kinship, but it was something he would do when he saw a stranger.

The South Bridge constantly comforted herself. Her sympathy for the South Heaven and the South Heaven was only because life and death were unpredictable, so she did not have any kinship with them!

Yu Cen Ran saw that Nanqiao was biting her lip. Since she didn't mind, she put Nanqiao down and threw it on the ground. She seemed to despise it.

Nan Qiankun's feet were still hovering in the air. Now that he finally landed on the ground, he felt the joy of surviving a calamity welled up within him as he thanked Yu Cen Ran repeatedly.

"If I see you acting this way to the South Bridge in the future, then don't blame me for not showing mercy." Yu Cen Ran warned.

Nan Qiankun quickly changed his face and said, "I don't want to either, but what Nanqiao said really broke my father's heart. He couldn't hold it in for a while, but it's common for laozi to teach his daughter a lesson, right?"

"Is that so?" Yu Cen Ran countered with a question with a look of disdain and mockery, "Isn't it common for rich and powerful people to suppress homeless people with nothing at all?"

Sure enough, as soon as he said it, Nan Qiankun's expression immediately changed. He repeatedly agreed, "Yes, yes, yes. You're right. There won't be a next time."

The look of the dog-leg was disgusting!

After a pause, Yu Cen Ran continued, "You don't have to worry about the aftermath of your aunt's death. I will bury her well, and please don't disturb the South Bridge in the future, or else you will know the consequences."

Nan Qiankun squeezed out a tear and said that he knew and then gave his thanks.

However, Yu Cen Ran was just putting on an act and could not be bothered to respond. She narrowed her eyes, but Yu Cen Ran's gaze was dark and sinister. "The person you should thank the most is not me, but South Bridge."

The South Heaven had no intention of being grateful. She threw a look at the South Bridge and snorted, "Such a daughter, she almost killed her father. She has no conscience at all. She really raised an ingrate!"

Nanqiao raised her eyebrows. It was simply unreasonable. Luckily, she had pleaded for South Heaven just now. She hadn't left yet, but she had already started to turn hostile in front of everyone!

Nanqiao pointed at the door and coldly said, "Right, you don't have a daughter like me. I'll have to trouble you to hurry up and scram, never appear in front of me again!"

How could South Heaven be willing to leave? He just kept saying, "Let me send Feng Lan on her final journey. She's already been a husband and wife for more than twenty years. I want to watch her leave …"

Nanqiao's mood had yet to recover. He only felt that Nanqiao's expression was abnormally hypocritical. "Now you know about the relationship between husband and wife. How come you didn't know to be nicer to my mother in the past?"

Nan Qiankun's lips moved, but he could not speak. He lowered his head and fell silent.

Now that there was no more argument, the South Bridge once again thought of its mother's death. As soon as it turned its head and saw its mother Zhang Fenglan lying on the bed, tears began to fall again, like beads that had been broken, falling to the ground one by one.

Yu Cen Ran's heart ached. She knew that Zhang Fenglan's matter had dealt a huge blow to the South Bridge. Yu Cen Ran didn't say anything unnecessary and just stretched out her arms, allowing the South Bridge to lean into her embrace and cry.

Yu Cen Ran had never known that a woman could shed so many tears. Soon, half of the white sweater under Yu Cen Ran's skin was soaked in liquid. However, the South Bridge didn't show any signs of stopping.

He couldn't let this go on either. Yu Cen Ran called the hospital and had Zhang Fenglan's body pushed away. When the funeral staff arrived, Nanqiao held onto the edge of the bed tightly, unwilling to let go.

"Was it a dream, was it a dream?" Nanqiao's eyes were red and swollen like walnuts as she tilted her head to ask Yu Cen Ran. "I had a nightmare, right? Yu Cen Ran, can you make the sky light up earlier? This dream is too painful and too real. I can't take it anymore!"

Yu Cen Ran could not bear it any longer and shifted her gaze away, not daring to look at the expression on the South Bridge.

He was afraid that with just a single glance, his heart would be shattered into a million pieces, even if it was just a single glance.

The mortician was a bit embarrassed, but after all, he often encountered these kinds of situations, so it wasn't difficult to deal with them. He only said: "Miss, the deceased is long. Please grieve!"

How could the South Bridge ever hear the word "die"? It instantly went crazy, covering its ears and shaking its head, its tears flowing even more violently.

Yu Cen Ran stood aside quietly as his temples throbbed. He raised his hand and pinched the center of his forehead with a headache. In the end, he hardened his heart and helped to break the South Bridge's hand.

Little by little, one by one, the South Bridge screamed and refused to let go, because she knew that once she let go, she and her mother would be parting forever.

"Mom!" "Mom!" Nanqiao cried miserably.

Finally, forever let go, South Bridge watched the car being pushed away, crying out of breath, the two eyes almost fainted!

Yu Cen Ran managed to hold onto the South Bridge in time and managed to stabilize it. Then, she helped Ye Mo up and the South Bridge recovered. When it saw Yu Cen Ran, it started to beat her, "Why, why did you do this?"

Yu Cen Ran didn't dodge, and the fist that landed on her body brought a slight pain. Yu Cen Ran sighed, "Mother has already left, Nan Qiao, you have to face this reality! You and me, we have to go on with our lives. "

Nanqiao cried until her tears blurred. Leaning on Yu Cen Ran's shoulder, she muttered, "But, I couldn't even see mother's last time! She had so much to say to me, but I didn't even have time to listen …"

"I know."

Yu Cen Ran knew that this matter would become the pain of the South Bridge for the rest of his life. It was also a knot in South Bridge's heart that could no longer be untied.

When Zhang Fenglan passed away, what did she want to say to the South Bridge? This matter would probably become a secret that would last forever with Zhang Fenglan's burial.

After a long time, Nanqiao's eyes narrowed into slits. Her head felt dizzy and uncomfortable. She only remembered that she fainted at the very last moment. She turned her head and saw Yu Cen Ran sitting by the bed, staring at her with a profound look.

Yu Cen Ran rarely smoked anymore, but now sitting on the bed, he smoked one cigarette after another. He was so preoccupied with his own thoughts that it was hard to dispel.

Nanqiao thought for a moment, then thanked Yu Cen Ran. "I'm sorry for worrying you, but there's also the matter about my mother …"

"South Bridge." He put the cigarette butt on the bedside table and said coldly, "You're my wife, and your mother is my mother. We don't talk much, so don't say anything to me about trouble, no trouble at all."

South Bridge lowered his eyes. A family, that sounded like a warm word. South Bridge curled his lips, and an urge to cry nearly burst out. His sorrowful feeling was like living in his body, ready to explode and spread at any moment.

Yu Cen Ran was able to see through the toughness of the South Bridge's camouflage. Her warm and dry hands caressed South Bridge's hair gently. With a rarely seen gentle voice, she said, "Don't worry. You still have me. I'll always be by your side."

South Bridge nodded and sobbed, "Okay!"

In truth, South Bridge still wanted to cry, but at this moment, her tears were almost completely drained. Her heart was filled with grief, but her eyes were incomparably dry, unable to squeeze out a single tear.

Yu Cen Ran tightly held onto the South Bridge, using this to transmit the energy to the South Bridge, while the South Bridge also forcefully hugged back.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and the person who walked in was the South Heaven and Earth. After looking at the South Bridge, he became even more unhappy, and his tone was also very unfriendly. "What are you doing here?"

Nan Qiankun rubbed his nose and waved the bag in his hand. "I see that you're very tired from crying. I bought some fruits to moisten your throat."

"No need." Nan Qiao sneered. When his mother was still alive, Nan Qiankun had never come to visit once, and every time she came, he would ask his mother for money.

This time, the person was no longer there. That was why South Heaven had come to pretend to care. South Bridge was disdainful. There was no need!

He rubbed his hands together, and after hesitating for a while, he said, "South Bridge, I remember that your mother had a passbook when she was alive. Do you remember where she put it?"

The passbook! At this time, all he cared about was money!

The South Bridge grew angry from the bottom of his heart. It picked up the bag of fruit and threw it at the South Heaven and Universe. The South Heaven dodged left and right, its hypocritical appearance made the South Bridge only want to vomit!

"South Bridge, please save me! "Now that I'm in debt, those usury loans won't let me off so easily!"

Nan Qiankun's voice was filled with pleas, just like his face a few hours ago. Nan Qiao was extremely angry, he never wanted to see Nan Qiankun again, he just yelled at him to hurry up and f * ck off.
