Chapter 654: 654 Death
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When Tan Ron arrived, Zhuang Yan happened to be resting. He couldn’t stay awake for too long now. He would have to go back to sleep soon. Shen Jing was worried that he wouldn’t wake up again, so she didn’t dare to let him sleep. However, he would be sleepy, which made her very troubled.
“Let uncle sleep. Uncle is like a newborn baby now. Babies can’t adapt to the outside world, so they need to sleep more. Uncle is in the same situation. As long as he continues to take the antidote, the poison in his body will be expelled and he fall unconscious again.”
Shen Jing’s worried heart finally relaxed when she heard what Tan Rou said. “Thank you, Rourou. I’m sorry that 1 had to trouble you to come all the way here on such a hot day.”
Then, she took out an ancient square box. “This is a little gift from Auntie. Please accept it.”
Tan Rou could roughly guess what was inside, but she could not accept it. Although she had saved Zhuang Yan, Zhuang Liu had also given her a lot of medical fees, so she could not accept Shen Jing’s gift.
“Third brother has already given me a lot of consultation fees, so 1 can’t accept this gift.” Tan Rou declined.
Shen Jing insisted on giving it to Tan Rou, but Tan Rou refused to accept it. Shen Jing thought about it and decided to give this gift to Zhuang Liu for Tan Rou.
“Why isn’t Third Brother at home?” Tan Rou looked left and right but did not see Zhuang Liu. It was Zhuang Liu who had called to invite her over just now.
Shen Jing said, “He also wanted to stay at home and wait for you, but something urgent happened at the company and he had to go back immediately, so he went back first. Stay for dinner tonight. He’ll definitely be back.”
Tan Rou remembered that she had an appointment to have dinner with Grandma tonight. “Auntie, I’m really sorry. 1 have an appointment with Grandma tonight, so I can’t stay.”
Shen Jing could understand. “Is that so? Then let’s meet again next time.”
However, the next time they met was at Old Master Zhuang’s funeral.
Zhuang Yan had just woken up, but Old Master Zhuang’s condition was not good. After finding out that Old Master Zhuang was sick, Zhuang Yan insisted on visiting his father.
After seeing Zhuang Yan, Old Master Zhuang’s condition seemed to have improved. He was very energetic every day. He kept talking to Zhuang Yan as if someone was urging him.
“Dad…Tell me slowly…” His solemn pronunciation was not very accurate.
When Old Master Zhuang heard Zhuang Yan call him ‘father’, he felt as if he had returned to the year when Zhuang Yan had just learned how to speak. At that time, he was still young, and his wife was hugging Zhuang Yan, who had called him’ father’.
“Good, good, good!” Old Master Zhuang saying that three times in a row and then smiled. “Now that you’re better, I can go and see your mother without worry. She’s been urging me for a long time.”
Solemn tears rolled down her cheeks. “Dad… Dad…”
Old Master Zhuang exhaled and slowly closed his eyes.
The ward was instantly filled with tears. The doctors and nurses all left, leaving the Zhuang family alone. They were used to seeing death and had long been numb to death in the hospital.
Zhuang Liu did not cry loudly. He just stood at the side and cried silently. He remembered his grandfather’s love for him in his heart. If possible, he also wanted his grandfather to live a few more years. If he had known earlier, he would have secretly resolved the matter of Zhuang Shang and his son so that his grandfather would not be troubled.
After that, it was time to organize Old Master Zhuang’s funeral. Old Master Zhuang was very influential, and many people came to attend. Tan Rou also came with her parents.
After offering incense to Old Master Zhuang, Tan Rou wanted to see Zhuang Liu. Old Master Zhuang loved Zhuang Liu so much, so Zhuang Liu must be very sad now.
However, she did not see Zhuang Liu after looking around. Under normal circumstances, Zhuang Liu should have been guarding Old Master Zhuang’s coffin, but Zhuang Liu was not here.
Tan Rou looked around but did not find Zhuang Liu. Instead, she found Xiao Mo, who was dressed in a black suit. Xiao Mo was receiving guests. As Zhuang Liu’s personal assistant, Xiao Mo could be considered half a member of the Zhuang family. Moreover, when Old Master Zhuang was alive, he treated Xiao Mo very well.
“Xiao Mo, have you seen your Third Young Master?” Tan Rou walked over and asked.
Xiao Mo replied, “Third Young Master said that he needed to go to the toilet, but he hasn’t returned yet. He must have been held back by someone.”
“Thank you, I’ll go look for it..”
