Chapter 44: Grandpa's Gone

"Can."

Lu See-Shen nodded, "Grandpa, I promise you."

"Good." The old man was pleased and smiled happily, "Then grandpa is relieved."

"Go call the girl in."

Nan Xi was the last to come in.

When she reached the door, she desperately wiped her tears.

She knew that grandpa wanted to see her laugh, grandpa didn't want her to cry at all.

So she had to hold it in, she couldn't cry, she mustn't cry.

It was hard to adjust her emotions, Nan Xi tried her best to smile and walked over to the old man's side to hold his hand.

"Grandpa, I'm Xixi."

Nan Xi had been holding herself together and had also been telling herself to smile.

Make sure to leave the best side for grandpa, make him happy, and don't let him worry.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, her tears still couldn't help but flow down.

"Girl, don't cry, birth, old age, sickness and death, this is the natural law of mankind, each of us will come to this step, only that grandpa is one step ahead, after grandpa left ah, the one who is the most worried is you."

Nan Xi held his hand and desperately shook her head, "Don't, grandpa, I don't want you to go, I want you to stay with me all the time."

"We agreed that I would still take you out to have fun, Xixi hasn't kept her promise yet? How can you leave me alone?"

NanXi cried so hard that she almost came up for air, there was no way for her to accept it.

She even felt that everything in front of her was a dream.

When she slept and woke up, the dream would be over.

"Girl, grandpa knows that you've been holding a grudge against See Deep for marrying you in the first place, and that you're a little disappointed because you think he didn't do it voluntarily. But grandpa wants to tell you, the process, ah, sometimes it doesn't matter, as long as the result is good."

"Have you always thought that grandpa married you off to See Deep just to return the favor?"

Nan Xi nodded, "Uh-huh."

She had indeed always thought so.

The old man shook his head, "When your mother saved grandpa, everyone thought that I let you marry Seeing Deep in order to repay a favor, in order to put my own mind at ease. If it was just to repay a favor, grandpa had a thousand ways, I could have given you money, luxury cars, villas, shares many, many ways, but do you know why grandpa chose this one?"

Nanxi shook her head and listened silently.

"Because only in this way can you be guaranteed a lifetime of peace and happiness, only if everything you have is tied together with See Deep can you be more reliable ah."

"Of course grandpa also has selfishness, grandpa over the years, in the wind and rain, what kind of girls have he seen, you are the most suitable girl for see deep, Fang Qinglian is not suitable for him at all, they won't be happy together, and that girl is not simple minded, she wants too much."

"But Xixi, you're different, you're kind, simple and never fight for anything."

"You remember grandpa's words, see deep will find your goodness one day, he will come back to you and love you as well, you guys will definitely have a bunch of fat dolls, when that time comes, you must remember to tell grandpa and buy him a drink."

Nan Xi smiled and promised, "Okay, grandpa, I remember, I'll definitely remember."

The old man patted her hand, hanging on to his last breath, and continued:

"Maybe it's a bit tough now, but you're husband and wife, you should work hand in hand in this life, share the blessings, share the difficulties, believe grandpa, you'll definitely reap your own happiness."

"The Lu family, I started it from nothing, you may rarely hear me mention my grandmother, who passed away many years ago, but she was the woman I loved the most in my life. She is sensible, elegant, intelligent, and kind, I can make the Lu family so big because of her support."

"For so many years, as long as she was there, I was at ease."

"But then, when our conditions got better, her illness got worse, I wasn't able to leave her behind after all, after lingering for so long, it's time for me to go and accompany her."

The old man smiled gently as he said this.

For so many years, this was the first time Nan Xi had seen such a doting, happy smile in her grandfather's eyes.

"Grandpa, you must love and adore grandma very much."

"Uh-huh." The old man nodded his head seriously, his thoughts flying far away, "Yes, love, love very much."

"Grandpa is just like you all, he just misses grandma too much, so I'm going to pursue my love too, and to be able to go down there to accompany grandma, grandpa feels very happy."

After saying these words, the old man was already very tired.

Nan Xi poured him a cup of water, and after drinking the water, the old master closed his eyes and rested for a while.

Nan Xi looked at his tightly closed eyes and was suddenly so scared and frightened.

However, she didn't dare to speak.

Nor did she dare to move a bit.

Quietly waiting.

Tormented waiting.

After a few minutes, Elder Lu slowly opened his eyes again and spoke with great effort, "Xixi, grandpa left a key at your mom's place, use the key to open the second drawer, there is a letter grandpa left for you, grandpa said that he couldn't move anymore, so it's all written in the letter."

"Okay, Grandpa I'll read them as soon as I get home."

Nan Xi nodded desperately, tears still flowing uncontrollably.

"Girl, don't cry, grandpa doesn't feel bad."

"Good." Nan Xi hurriedly reached out and wiped the tears on her face, "I'll listen to grandpa, I won't cry."

"Grandpa, Xixi also has a secret she wants to tell you."

"Oh?" The old man was quite surprised.

Nan Xi leaned down, close to the old master's ear, and softly said, "Grandpa, actually I have loved See Deep for many, many years, and I love him very much, don't worry, I will definitely keep my marriage with him."

"And," Nan Xi's hand was placed on her belly, her gaze was gentle, and she smiled brightly, "Grandpa, I'm pregnant."

Upon hearing this, the old man's eyes did instantly glow brightly, unusually excited.

Probably too excited, the old man trembled his lips and didn't say anything for a long time.

But it was obvious that he was very happy.

Nan Xi knew what he wanted to ask and quickly grabbed his hand, explaining seriously, "It's true grandpa, Xi Xi didn't lie to you, it's been almost two months."

"Grandpa, don't worry, I will listen to you, guard the baby and guard our home."

"Good." The old man was excited to the extreme, and it took a long time before he could spit out this one word.

After being happy, the old master took a huge breath, looking like he was exhausted.

Nan Xi knew that that moment, after all, was coming.

The instrument made a violent noise, and everyone poured in.

Grandpa smiled and looked at everyone, then dropped his hands and closed his eyes forever.

He left with a faint smile on his lips.

The doctors tried hard to resuscitate him, but there was no way back.

Finally, the doctor announced the time of death.

The doctor said that Grandpa left peacefully, without pain, his heart must be satisfied.

However, this can not make up for the sadness and emptiness in her heart.

Nanxi sat there dumbly, like a wooden man, not moving.

Her hands, did not move.

Her whole body didn't move.

Even her eyelids did not blink, the whole person was like a sculpture.

For a long, long time, she had no way to accept this fact.

Until Yun Shu hugged her and cried loudly, "Nanxi, child, say something, don't scare mom."
