408. Chapter 408 Burial (3)
After a while, except for Mu Yuchen, Xi Xiaye and others who came from behind, only Xi Mushan and Ah Hui, who was holding an umbrella behind, were left.
"Grandpa, rest in peace. I hope you will have no illness and live a happy life there."
Xi Xiaye stood up slowly and stretched out her fingertips to wipe away the rain stained photos on the tombstone. However, as she wiped, she suddenly stopped moving.
"Xia Ye, father and grandpa will rest in peace. Don't be too sad. The deceased is gone, and the living must move on."
Mu Yuchen said something like a sigh, then stepped forward to help Xi Xiaye up. Xi Xiaye took a deep breath and slowly took off the sunglasses on her face, revealing a pair of slightly red and misty eyes. Close your eyes, relax for a while, then open them...
"When I was a child, I often went out to play with my grandfather. My grandfather was still very tough and young at the time and liked to ride horses. Once he took me to the racecourse, but something happened and he had to go back. I refused and cried all afternoon. Later, my grandfather had to give me I became a big horse and even showed my waist..."
Her slightly hoarse voice came over in a low voice, her hazy eyes still staring at the photo on the tombstone.
"When I was three years old, I was the first to learn the simple numbers one, twenty, and thirty, which was also taught by my grandpa. After I went to kindergarten, when I was learning to write, I couldn't sit straight. In order to correct me, my grandpa would stare at me almost every night. When I do my homework, even my mother says that grandpa is more like a strict teacher..."
After Xi Xiaye finished speaking, Xi Mushan suddenly took a breath of sadness, "Your grandfather...has always regarded you as the little princess of the Xi family."
"I've always known... Grandpa left like this, and I felt empty in my heart. But thinking about it, maybe, at least for Grandpa, this is also a kind of relief. After leaving, everything becomes pure. , no need to worry about those worrying things.”
As he said that, Xi Xiaye raised his head slightly, looked at the drizzle of rain falling on the sky in front of him, and sighed, "Grandpa told us all those things in the past... these years are also because he feels ashamed of us. Mother and daughter, that’s why you don’t dare to come here to find me, and you’re even more afraid to find your mother, right?”
When Xi Xiaye said this, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Xi Mushan.
Xi Mushan looked lonely and sad, and nodded without concealing it, "Yes."
Hearing this, Xi Xiaye suddenly smiled hard, hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "If all these grievances can come to an end with grandpa's departure, what are your plans?"
Xi Mushan's resignation has become a foregone conclusion. Mu Yuchen also told her that Xi Mushan has divorced Yue Lingsi, and Shen Wenna can't see her now. All this seems to make people feel relieved, but what they have to face is , but it was another such a bad situation.
Xi Mushan didn't know how to answer, because his head was empty now.
During this period of time, things piled up one after another, and he seemed to be overwhelmed——
Shen Wenna's unfortunate blindness, his resignation, Yue Lingsi's cheating, divorce, and now Xi Jiyang's sudden departure, all the things piled up together, and he was very tired from holding on.
Seeing that he didn't answer, the tired look on his eyebrows was very strong, and a little sourness suddenly appeared in his heart. After thinking for a while, he reached into his pocket and quickly took out a bunch of keys. Quietly handed it to Xi Mushan——
"This is the key to my apartment in Linjiang. It has just been tidied up and is very clean. If you are not happy staying in Xiyuan, you can stay there..."
Xi Mushan lowered his head and looked at the key handed over by Xi Xiaye. There was a hint of relief in his silent eyes, but he did not take it. "No need, I also bought myself an apartment building before."
Xi Xiaye was startled, hesitated for a moment, and then silently took it back.
"Don't worry about the past anymore. Mu Yuchen also told me that you had divorced Yue Lingsi. Before he left, grandpa also said that he hoped you could get your mother back. Now her mother has been discharged from the hospital. Back to Shen's house..."
When Xi Xiaye said these words, Xi Mushan's expression also became a little gloomy.
Both Xi Xiaye and Mu Yuchen took this scene in their eyes. After exchanging glances, seeing Mu Yuchen nod gently, Xi Xiaye sighed softly and took something out of his pocket again. A card was thrown to Xi Mushan.
Xi Mushan also subconsciously reached out and took it, looking down at the key card in his hand, he looked at Xi Xiaye with some confusion.
"This is Shen's house's key card. Grandpa usually doesn't go home until after six o'clock in the evening. If I don't go back, he usually doesn't go back at noon. This month, because Fuhua will start negotiating with Shengshi about the Nanjiang project cooperation, I Mu Yuchen and I often go to Fuhua. Grandpa left mother to Wu Ma, and I have already told Wu Ma to make it convenient for you, so you should take care of mother’s lunch during this period."
Xi Xiaye said with an indifferent expression. Deep down in her heart, she hoped that Shen Wenna and Xi Mushan could reconcile again. They cared about each other and had been delayed for so many years. If they didn't fight for it, they might never have another chance in the future.
If because of such a mistake, two people who clearly love each other are trapped in a lonely wounded city, licking their wounds alone, and leaving with regrets for the rest of their lives, then she would rather do everything in her power to fulfill them and break that side. The wall between them...
Why are there so many tragedies in this world? It's because many people are never willing to give in, tolerate, or let go for the sake of pride and self-esteem, so they build walls of heart that trap them to death.
Everyone understands the principles, but very few people can do it.
I once heard that happiness is sometimes like water. The tighter you hold on, there is nothing inside. But when you open your hands, you will gain a lot of tenderness...
Xi Mushan quietly stared at Xi Xiaye in front of him——
She looks somewhat similar to her mother. Looking at her always reminds him of Shen Wenna, so sometimes it is better not to see her.
However, she suddenly discovered that although she and her mother had similar temperaments, they had two completely different states of mind——
His daughter seems to be more open-minded and more sincere.
"Why are you still helping me?"
Xi Mushan looked down at the key card in his hand and asked in a low voice.
Xi Xiaye breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes fell lightly on the tombstone in front of her, and after a while she raised her head to look at him——
"Why don't I help you? You are my father...and I also promised grandpa that although I disliked you for a while, as you said, we are father and daughter. This is a fact..."
