Hearing that Ji Yun might be leaving this world soon, Lin Nuan still couldn't hold back her sadness and tears.
Liang Mulan hugged Lin Nuan in her arms and gently patted Lin Nuan's back, coaxing her in a soft voice like she used to do when she was young. "Everyone has such a day. It's just a matter of arriving early or arriving late. Your mother has been living a muddle-headed life all these years. It might not be a bad thing for your father to take her away!"
Lin Nuan nodded on Liang Mulan's shoulder, not saying a word.
Liang Mulan understood her daughter too well. The more Lin Nuan didn't say a word, the sadder she felt …
She pulled Lin Nuan's petite hand and sat down on the sofa. "All these years that your mother has been sick, your father has never left your mother. It's clear that your father's love for your mother is very deep. Your mother should also miss your father! Do you understand what I mean? "
Lin Nuan still didn't say a word, merely nodding.
The pain of a loved one leaving wasn't something that others could persuade. Liang Mulan had experienced it before, so how could she not know?
However, if Lin Nuan was in pain, Lin Ran would probably be in even more pain than her …
Other than feeling kinship toward Ji Yun, Lin Ran also felt guilt!
She hadn't had the chance to make it up to Ji Yun. If Ji Yun were to leave just like that, how could Lin Ran live in peace for the rest of her life?
That day, Lin Nuan didn't go to record the show. Instead, she quietly sat in front of the fireplace with Liang Mulan, waiting for Ji Yun to wake up so that they could have a meal together and talk to Ji Yun to see if she had any wishes.
Liang Mulan had already thought it through. If Ji Yun's wish was to see Lin Ran get married, then even if she had to put down her pride, she would go to the Gu family to settle the two children's marriage!
Right now, Liang Mulan could tell that there weren't any major problems with the relationship between the two children. The problem lay with Gu Shaoting's mother. She had always looked down on Lin Ran, who had grown up in those alleys. She felt that Lin Ran wouldn't be able to be a good wife to Gu Shaoting.
Gu Shaoting's mother had already vaguely mentioned this to Liang Mulan. Back then, Liang Mulan had only vaguely told Gu Shaoting's mother that it was Gu Shaoting who was chasing after their daughter, refusing to let her off. She told Gu Shaoting's mother to keep her son in check!
Both of them were smart people. Everyone could tell the meaning behind the smiles on the surface but the sarcasm in their hearts. Although it seemed fine on the surface, it could be said that they parted on on bad terms.
Not long after, snowflakes began to fall outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. With the momentum of thunder, the snowflakes covered the scenery outside the window. It was a vast expanse …
The sky gradually darkened, and the snow that had been blown away by the cold wind on the tree branches and fence walls were covered again. Lin Nuan stood in front of the French windows, a little distracted.
She received a call from Fang Yan, telling her to push back the filming date to the day after tomorrow. She asked Lin Nuan to focus on dealing with matters at home and not worry.
After hanging up the phone, he saw Lin Ran coming down from upstairs. She stood in the middle of the stairs, refusing to move an inch.
Liang Mulan was the first to notice Lin Ran. She put down the cup in her hand and stood up. She already had a premonition.
Seeing that everyone was looking in her direction, Lin Ran held the handrail with one hand and tried not to cry out loud, but her tears fell down in big drops.
It was only when Lin Nuan turned her head and met Lin Ran's gaze that Lin Ran said in a choked voice, "He left …"
There were only two words.
Lin Nuan tried her best to widen her eyes and stop her tears from falling, but she still couldn't control them. She lowered her head and wiped away her tears with her palms and the back of her hands, then nodded.
It was to be expected.
Ji Yun passed away peacefully, personally.
Please note: Please pay attention to the rest of your eyes when reading for a long time. Recommended reading:
Lin Nuan sent her upstairs and placed her on the bed, then accompanied by Lin Ran. She fell asleep just like that, never to wake up again.
Lin Ran didn't know when she left!
She only noticed that it was already afternoon and that it was time for Ji Yun to eat something. She called out softly in Ji Yun's ear a few times, then realized that something was wrong. When she reached out to check Ji Yun's breathing, there was no longer any breath.
Ji Yun woke up, but she left without saying a single word to Lin Ran.
Lin Ran's mind was filled with scenes of her shouting at Ji Yun, shouting at Ji Yun, and even pushing her. She bit down on her arm in regret, not daring to cry out loud in the room.
Lin Ran's arm was bleeding from her bite. This was probably how it felt to be so regretful that one wanted to die!
She felt that Ji Yun must hate her. Otherwise, why would she leave without saying a single word to her when she was awake!
Liang Mulan's sharp eyes caught the red marks on the back of Lin Ran's trembling hand and got a shock. She quickly jogged toward the stairs and walked up. "Xiao Ran! What's going on? "
Being hugged by Liang Mulan, a string in Lin Ran's mind snapped. She hugged Liang Mulan and cried out loud. "I haven't apologized! I haven't made it up to her! What should I do, Mom! My mom is dead … my mom is dead … "
Lin Nuan couldn't bear to listen to Lin Ran's cries anymore. She turned and looked out the window, her hands clasping tightly onto her arms, her nails almost piercing through her sweater and into her tender flesh.
She was pulled into a warm and firm embrace. She had nearly broken down emotionally! But Lin Ran had already broken down, so she had to hold on!
Ji Yun didn't have any relatives or friends by her side. It was as if she had come alone, lived her entire life alone, and then left alone …
The two caregivers were more experienced, and with Liang Mulan watching from the side, Fu Huai 'an had already instructed Little Lu to buy the shrouds and make arrangements for the aftermath.
In the wee hours of the morning, the people from the funeral parlor came to take Ji Yun away. Lin Ran stubbornly wiped Ji Yun's hands and feet with a towel with tears in her eyes.
The tree longs for peace, but the wind doesn't stop blowing. The child longs to be raised, but his parents aren't around. At this moment, there was probably no one who understood this sentence more thoroughly than Lin Ran.
She couldn't repay all the apologies she owed Ji Yun in this lifetime!
The funeral parlor's staff were used to such situations, so they stood by the side and waited patiently, not anxious at all.
Ji Yun's funeral was very simple. It wasn't that they weren't willing to hold a grand funeral for Ji Yun, but that even Lin Ran didn't know where Ji Yun's friends and family were, let alone Lin Nuan.
On the day of Ji Yun's burial, it was snowing heavily, just like when she passed away.
Lin Nuan held Ji Yun's urn in her hands, and Lin Ran held Ji Yun's photo in her arms. Under the company of the Lin family, Ji Yun and Lin Nuan's biological father were buried together.
Under the big black umbrella, Lin Nuan and Lin Ran stood side by side …
On the tombstone were the names of their daughters: Lu Nuan, Lu Ran.
Lin Nuan's household registration had always been with the Lin family, and her name hadn't been changed. After Lin Ran returned to the Lin family, she was called Lin Ran.
But this time around, both of them had the surname Lu carved on their tombstones, indicating that they were the daughters of the couple who were buried here.
Lin Chen didn't come because he hadn't recovered yet. Lin Nuan and Lin Ran were worried that Lin Chen would scare Liang Mulan and Lin Jingquan if he appeared before them in that state, so they didn't inform Lin Chen.
Liang Mulan and Lin Jingquan had wanted to call Lin Chen back, but Lin Ran stopped them …
"Remember to help Qianqian hit the rankings after reading the babies! Love you guys … "
