Chapter 666: Our Father is Going to Die
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation , Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The bed was a little small and a little hard. Qin Mucheng lay on it and felt a little uncomfortable. He tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Thinking about Ji Yuanyuan’s pregnancy, his feelings became even more
complicated.
Honestly, he had never thought he would be a father so soon.
His playmates of the same age were still playing around, but he was already
going to be a father.
This proud and happy mood made his heart beat rapidly.
If it were a daughter, she would definitely be like Yuanyuan when she was young. She would be pink, tender, and adorable.
If it was a son, would he be as quiet and mature as he was when he was young?
When the child was born, his friends would definitely be very envious of him.
In the other guest bedroom, Ji Yuanyuan was just like when she was young. She was nestled in Li Xu’s arms and quietly listened to Li Xu’s nagging, Don t think that just because you have s.p.a.ce, you can do anything. The s.p.a.ce can’t solve everything. You can’t bring the child in, right?”
Ji Yuanyuan casually acknowledged.
“Since you’re already pregnant, let’s welcome him happily. Your mother-in-law and I are still young, so we can help you take care of your chi . You’ll only need to work a little hard these few years. You’ll be relaxed when the child grows up and you graduate.”
“Isn’t that so!” Ji Yuanyuan said casually.
Seeing that Ji Yuanyuan did not seem to be listening to her words, Li Xu reached out her hand angrily and poked her forehead, “You little girl, you don’t take anything seriously.”
-Mom, how did you feel when you were pregnant for the first time?” Ji
Yuanyuan chuckled.
Thinking back to that year, Li Xu sighed helplessly, “What else could it be? At that time, I was about the same age as you and didn’t know anything. I was both nervous and happy. When your brother was born, I didn’t even dare to carry him for the first two weeks. Every time, your grandmother would carry him to my arms, and I would feed him.”
Thinking back to what happened back then, Li Xu also felt that she was a little ridiculous. She said in a low voice, “For a long time, I thought it was amazing. My round belly suddenly turned into a little person who could cry, laugh, and sleep.”
Ji Yuanyuan touched her belly. Her child should still be the size of a soybean, right?
The mother and daughter chatted and soon fell asleep.
Early in the morning, Li Xu was woken up by a phone call from her hometown.
It was Li Yong. His tone was a little fl.u.s.tered, “Sister, you and Brother-in-law should quickly bring the children back. Our father… isn’t going to make it.” When Li Xu heard this, she suddenly sat up from the bed and asked in a sharp voice, “What?”
“Come back quickly with Miaomiao and the others.” Li Yong choked.
Li Xu’s vision went black, and she almost fainted.
Fortunately, Ji Yuanyuan was woken up and quickly caught her.
After hanging up the phone, Li Xu murmured, “Quick, wake your father up.
Let’s go back to our hometown. Your grandfather is dying.
Ji Yuanyuan was shocked when she heard that.
Grandpa had always been healthy. Grandma would occasionally have a headache, but Grandpa didn t.
Why is he going to die all of a sudden?
She got up in a panic and went to wake Zhang Kun and Qin Mucheng up.
When she pa.s.sed by the living room, she glanced at the time.
It was only half past six.
After waking up Zhang Kun and Qin Mucheng, Ji Yuanyuan called Ji Zixuan and
Gong Wenbai.
She was afraid her aunt would be too sad to hear the news, so she told her uncle-in-law first and let him tell her slowly.
Ji Zi’ang was overseas. Even if he were informed, he would buy the nearest ticket and return. It would probably take him more than 30 hours to reach City
w.
Therefore, Ji Yuanyuan did not inform him.
She planned to discuss with everyone on the way to see if they should let Second Brother come back.
Ji Yuanyuan, Gong Wenbai, and Ji Zixuan had agreed to meet at the highway entrance.
in such an emergency, the four of them did not bring anything with them.
They changed their clothes and went downstairs.
Qin Mucheng drove to the highway exit.
Li Xu only reacted after they left the residential area. She quickly said, “Stop
the car, stop the car. Yuanyuan can’t go.”
Qin Mucheng stopped the car by the roadside. Ji Yuanyuan, who was in the pa.s.senger seat, turned around suspiciously, “Why?”
“What if your grandfather has already…” Li Xu spoke with a choked voice.
She held back her sobs for a long time.
“You’re pregnant now. You can’t attend such an event.”
There was a saying in City W that pregnant people couldn’t see dead people or attend funerals.
But this was her biological grandfather. He had doted on her so much when she was young.
Ji Yuanyuan’s eyes were red, “Mom, this is all superst.i.tion. It might be a lifelong regret if you don’t let me go.”
Li Xu was a little hesitant. Qin Mucheng also said, “Mom, I’ll look after her. She’ll be fine. Let her go.”
Seeing that Qin Mucheng had said so, Li Xu agreed, “Alright, let’s go then.”
When Qin Mucheng and the rest went over, Ji Zixuan was already waiting at the intersection.
“What’s going on?” he asked anxiously.
Huang Weiwei stood at the side and stroked his back with heartache.
Li Xu shook her head, “Your Second Uncle didn’t make it clear. We’ll know when we get back.”
He pursed his lips and remained silent.
-Big Brother, are we going to call Second Brother?” Ji Yuanyuan asked in a low voice.
Ji Zixuan’s eyes were firm, “Call him. Tell him to come back as soon as possible.”
Even if he couldn’t make it in time, he had tried his best and would not have any regrets for the rest of his life.
Ji Yuanyuan nodded and immediately took out his phone to call Ji Zi’ang, who was far away.
It was early in the morning and evening on the other side, so he quickly picked up the call.
He was stunned for a long time when he found out that Li Zhiming was dying. He immediately choked and said that he would purchase the closest plane ticket.
As soon as the call ended, Gong Wenbai drove Li Miao over.
As soon as she got out of the car, Li Miao cried and ran to Li Xu, “Big sister, what happened to Father?”
The tears that Li Xu had been holding back all the way finally fell when she saw Li Miao.
At this moment, she and Li Miao could completely empathize with each other. Although the others could also feel uncomfortable, it was different for them. Therefore, Li Xu could cry in front of Li Miao.
“Where’s Mumu?”
“He’S with the nanny,” Gong Wenbai quickly said, “It’s not convenient to bring him along.”
Li Miao had to go to work, and Gong Wenbai had to be busy with company matters.
Therefore, Mumu always had a special nanny to take care of him. The nanny had worked in their family for several years and was trustworthy.
Hearing this, Li Xu held Li Miao’s hand and said in a low voice, “Let’s go back first. We’ll talk when we get home.”
A few of them got back into the car.
Li Xu sat in Li Miao’s car, and Gong Wenbai was in charge of driving.
Qin Mucheng’s car was still carrying Ji Yuanyuan and Zhang Kun.
As for Ji Zixuan and Huang Weiwei’s car, Huang Weiwei was the one driving..
