C9 Her Grandfather Passed away
In the old residence of Muh family, Muh Qiqi thought of her grandfather, who she had not seen for almost four years, and could not hide her joy. She excitedly knocked on the heavy wooden door, preparing to give her grandfather a surprise.
But the moment the wooden door was opened, the smile on her face slowly froze.
"Mrs Su?" The Mrs Su she spoke of was her stepmother, the biological mother of her younger sister Muh Xue'er.
When she was twelve years old, her mother passed away due to illness. It was not even a month after she passed away when her father Muh Linsheng brought Su Xiaofeng and Muh Xue'er home.
Since then, she had never received her father's attention.
It was also because of this that her grandfather doted on her even more. In order to not let her suffer in front of her stepmother, he directly took her to the old residence to live, so her relationship with her grandfather had always been especially good.
Her grandfather had also made the decision for her to go abroad to study the art major that she loved. He had even sold a painting that he loved for a high tuition fee.
Muh Qiqi had kept these things in her heart. She had been working very hard for the past four years when she was studying abroad. She had done so to earn a lot of money for her grandfather when she came back from her studies.
But at this moment, the house that only her grandfather lived in was not opened by her grandfather. Instead, it was this woman that her grandfather had always hated that opened the door. This time, she unconsciously became vigilant.
"Where's my grandfather?"
Su Xiaofeng who came to open the door did not seem to have expected that she would suddenly come back. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and had a mean look on her face.
"Why did you come back?"
This question made Muh Qiqi want to laugh. Could it be that she could not come back?
Her hand that was holding the suitcase slightly exerted force. She quietly straightened her back and said neither servile nor overbearing, "I graduated from college, so naturally I came back. "
As she spoke, she carried the suitcase and walked towards the door. As she walked, she shouted towards the courtyard, "Grandpa, I'm back. "
"Grandpa, I'm back!"
"Stop shouting. You're so annoying. You shouted the moment you came home. Your grandfather passed away due to illness for more than ten days. Your father was afraid of affecting your studies, so he didn't tell you. " Su Xiaofeng said impatiently and caught up with Muh Qiqi's footsteps.
This news was like a bolt from the blue and fell on Muh Qiqi's body without any warning. She slowly turned around and her clear eyes looked at the already impatient Su Xiaofeng. Her lips unconsciously trembled.
"What did you just say?"
Seeing her expression as if she had seen a ghost, Su Xiaofeng had a look of disdain and rolled her eyes at her and said bluntly. "I said your grandfather is dead. He is dead. "
"Impossible!" This was Muh Qiqi's first reaction. Dozens of days ago, she was still on video call with her grandfather. His grandfather's bright smile did not look like he was sick at all. How could he suddenly die?
Besides, her grandfather's health had always been very good. She had never heard that his grandfather had a problem with his health. He did not have the high blood pressure that most elderly people would have. How could he die so suddenly?
"What's impossible? When a person becomes old, every part of his body becomes old. When a person becomes old and dies, it is a normal natural law. Don't tell me you think your grandfather can live forever? " Facing Muh Qiqi's doubt, Su Xiaofeng's face was full of disdain. From the beginning to the end, she did not show any signs of sadness on her well-maintained face.
"Then what illness did my grandfather suffer from?" Muh Qiqi could not accept such a fact and at this moment her brain was in a mess. She only hoped that it was her stepmother who made a joke with her.
"His entire body is failing. The doctor said that he died naturally. As for the details, we are not medical students. How would we know?"
Tears welled up in her eyes. She bit her lips so hard that they were about to bleed. She asked, "Where is my grandfather buried?"
