Chapter 512: The missed scenery may still be there
Chapter 512 The missed scenery may still be there
Even though she had expected it in her heart, when she heard the news with her own ears, Su Lanxu's body was still obviously startled, and she fell down as if her backbone had been taken away.
Xu Jialu quickly supported her from behind with quick eyes and hands, with a low voice mixed with worry, "Susu..."
Su Lanxu's face was pale, her head buzzed, she raised her eyes to look at her mother, she bit her pink lip tightly with her white teeth, and she bled so hard that she didn't make a sound.
Mother Su was very calm, and even smiled slightly to comfort her, "Your father passed away very peacefully, without any pain. We should be happy for him."
He no longer has to be tortured by illness.
Su Lanxu still didn't speak, but turned her head and lowered her eyelids to hide the sadness that was surging from the bottom of her eyes.
…
Su Lanxu was not as distraught as Xu Jialu expected, and couldn't control herself.
She calmly helped her mother deal with her father's death, notified relatives and friends of condolences, and arranged all funeral arrangements.
Mum Su and Dad Su have been abroad for many years, and they don’t have many friends in China, and they don’t have much contact with relatives, so not many people came to express their condolences, and there were not many people in the afternoon.
Xu Jianshu and Cheng Ying, as in-laws, rushed over upon receiving the notice. Cheng Ying stayed by Mama Su's side, fearing that she would not be able to hold on.
But Su's mother was very strong, and she didn't lose her composure at all. If she didn't know that their husband and wife had a good relationship, she might have wondered if they had been divorced for many years. That's why she was so calm and calm after her husband died.
In the afternoon, Xie Tingxi and Bo Qi came to express their condolences, while Mo Zhiyun and Qin Siyu came together, and Lu Heyun didn't spare time because of the company's business.
In the evening, most of them left. Xu Youyou was worried about Lanlan and wanted to stay with her.
Su Lanxu declined her kindness, "You and Mo Shenbai are quite tired after rushing back for a whole day, go to rest early, don't worry about me, I'm fine."
Xu Youyou was worried, "I'm not tired, I'll stay with you."
Even if you can't do anything, you can still do it by being with her.
Su Lanxu shook her head, "No need, go back."
Xu Youyou wanted to say something, but Xu Jialu preempted her, "Go back, I'm here."
He wore a black suit, even the shirt was black, and he looked dignified and calm.
Seeing this, Xu Youyou gave up, "Then you have to take good care of Lan Lan."
Xu Jialu nodded, "I'll see you off."
Xu Jialu sent Mo Shenbai and Xu Youyou for his mother-in-law and wife, this is a courtesy.
Su Lanxu turned her head and met Xie Tingxi's gentle eyes, and called out politely, "Mr. Xie."
"If you need anything, please feel free to contact me." Xie Tingxi said a thoughtful word out of humanistic care.
"Thank you, I don't need anything at the moment." Su Lanxu replied.
Xie Tingxi nodded, looked outside the door, "Indeed, he has arranged everything properly."
When Su Lanxu notified her relatives, Xu Jialu had already contacted the funeral center, when the sparks would be sparked, when she would be buried, and even the cemetery.
Su Lanxu followed his eyes and looked at Xu Jialu who was standing beside the car talking to Xu Youyou, her long eyelashes drooping, "He did a good job."
Xie Tingxi retracted his gaze and looked at her who was shrouded in haze, "Sometimes don't be so stubborn, look back occasionally, the scenery you missed may still be there."
Su Lanxu looked up at him, but said nothing.
Xu Jialu turned his head and saw Su Lanxu and Xie Tingxi standing at the door talking, his thick eyebrows slightly lowered.
There must be a vigil at night, Su Lanxu persuaded her mother to go back to her room to rest, and knelt down in front of the hall to burn paper for her father.
Watching the ghost paper in the brazier turn into ashes little by little, my heart felt so empty that there was only a piece of ashes left, and there was nothing left when the wind blew gently.
Xu Jialu took off his coat, got down with his shirt on, knelt down beside her, and helped burn the paper money.
Su Lanxu looked up at his beautiful fingers, and said in a low voice, "Go and rest, I'm fine here alone."
Xu Jialu's eyes fell on the brazier, but he didn't look at her, "Dad hasn't left yet, maybe he's watching us."
Su Lanxu's hand that put the paper money into the brazier froze for a few seconds, and said nothing.
The paper money in the brazier was enough to burn for a while. He looked up at her paler cheeks against the firelight, and said in a low voice, "Cry out when you feel sad, don't hold back."
Su Lanxu shook her head, "I don't want to cry, my father is gone, but I still have to take care of my mother, and I don't want my father to leave without worry."
Xu Jialu looked at her like this, his heart twitched, his heart ached, and he stretched out his arms to pull her into his arms.
But the arm hung in the air for a long time, and finally fell to the side lonely, doing nothing.
…
Papa Su was cremated and buried on the third day.
Mother Su and Su Lanxu both seemed very calm, neither crying nor distraught. Compared with those mourners in the Su family, they were surprisingly calm.
After returning from the cemetery, Mama Su began to pack Papa Su’s belongings, towels, cups, and his favorite chessboard.
Su Lanxu was a little uneasy, "Mom, don't rush to collect these things."
Mother Su smiled faintly, "It's useless to keep things when people leave. When you see things and think about others, you will feel even more unable to let go."
Hearing this, Su Lanxu didn't stop her anymore.
Su Lanxu didn't cancel her leave, she stayed at home for a few more days, and wanted to spend more time with her mother to make her feel better.
Mother Su didn't object, but was very happy. She cooked with her aunt herself, went shopping with Su Lanxu, bought a lot of clothes for her, and bought herself a beautiful skirt.
When she came home, she changed into a skirt and put on makeup, and went downstairs to show Su Lanxu.
"Lan Lan, do you think I'm pretty?"
Su Lanxu nodded, "Mom, you are really beautiful."
"It's a pity that your father can't see it." Su's mother straightened her skirt, looked up and said, "Lan Lan, take a photo of me and burn it back for your father to see."
"Okay." Su Lanxu took several photos of her with her mobile phone, and every angle was beautiful.
Mother Su looked at herself in the photo, her eyes were gentle and somewhat lax.
"Your dad likes to see me wearing skirts the most. Your dad bought me every skirt before. This is the first time I bought a skirt for myself."
Su Lanxu didn't notice her strangeness, "Dad bought it for you before, and I will buy it for you in the future! Anyway, you will be beautiful for a lifetime."
"Really..." Mother Su's voice became weaker and weaker.
"Of course! Mom, I will..."
Su Lanxu hadn't finished speaking when she fell backwards.
There was a "bang", and Su Lanxu didn't even have time to react.
"mom!"
Su Lanxu hurriedly picked her up and kept calling her, "Mom, don't scare me...Mom..."
