C106 The Elder's Memorial
Listen to yourself cry before you know how to cherish it.
"Next up is the entertainment news. This morning, Sheng was willing to hold a press conference. His manager, Yan Xuan, directly responded to the relationship between Lyi Yan, the popular singer from before. He said that the two of them were just normal relationships between managers and artistes. There was nothing else."
The scene changed and went straight to the press conference venue. The camera zoomed in and faced Yan Xuan, who was still calm and composed.
My relationship with Lyi Yan is between the manager and the artiste.
However, because Lyi Yan's parents gave me a lot of help when I first debuted, in order to repay them, I will take care of her a little bit more than other artistes. That's all.
Yan Xuan's voice came from the phone. Lyi Yan sighed and looked up at Dong, who wanted to show her the phone. She waited for the news to pass.
"This is his answer! Did you all hear it? As the saying goes, love Yan. Is this how you love her? " Dong could not calm the anger in his heart. In his eyes, Lyi Yan was the most precious thing. Even if it hurt everything, it should not hurt her!
"Dong, I want to be quiet..." Lyi Yan did not get excited. Instead, she was strangely calm. In front of her eyes, it was as if Yan Xuan was being carried away by seven hands and eight feet into an ambulance. Yan Xuan's voice lingered in her ears and did not disappear for a long time.
"Yan, are you wavering again? Do you really believe a man like him who has a front and a back? Look at his shrewdness and those methods. Which one of them is what we can fight against? Knowing that I would stop him, he found someone to subdue me... Knowing that you will soften your heart, he will use a bitter tactic, don't you think..."
"Hsu Dong! You've had enough! I have tolerated you for a long time. If you say another word, I will immediately chase you out!"
" Sister Yiyi, don't be angry, don't be angry. Brother Dong, you should also speak less. Yan will have her own judgment. Everyone is no longer a child. "
Four good friends were trapped in this matter. Each of them had their own ideas and gradually fell apart. They saw that their friendship was about to end. Lyi Yan looked up at the other three and could not help but feel guilty in her heart. It was all because of her that everyone put down what they were doing. They had gathered here and were still worrying about her. Each of them had their own words to say. The noise was endless.
"No matter what, let's finish the funeral first" After a moment of silence, Lyi Yan opened her mouth to push away the awkwardness of the crowd.
Soong Yiyi and Fatty looked at each other and then nodded. Dong pursed his lips and temporarily suppressed his anger. After Yan Xuan came, Lyi Yan's emotions had clearly stabilized. Although she did not know what they said and did in the room, when she came out again, Lyi Yan seemed to have changed a little. This was obvious to all.
"I will sleep with Grandma tonight. I will take care of her during the funeral tomorrow. There are a lot of things that I need to trouble you with. Luckily, you are here..." Lyi Yan's eyes swept across the faces of the three people. For the past few days, it was because of Grandfather. They had also suffered a lot.
"What are you talking about? What is our relationship? This is what we should do." Soong Yiyi glared at Dong and walked over to hug Lyi Yan. " Then I'll go to sleep first. I'll do my job well tomorrow. Don't worry. "
"Thank you, Little Bun." Lyi Yan returned to hug Soong Yiyi and smiled gently.
"Then I will also go to sleep. Brother Dong, let's go." Fatty scratched his head. His task tomorrow was also not light.
"Yan..." Dong still wanted to say something, but in the end, under such an atmosphere, he chose to remain silent.
... "Dong, I understand what you mean. I will think about it." Lyi Yan looked at Hsu Dong's lonely back and felt guilty. Although he had been standing opposite of Yan Xuan and did not like him at all, at the bottom of it all, it was also because of her different front and back. Her left and right were shaken.
Just like that, the four of them thought about the division of labor tomorrow and found a place to sleep and rest. Lyi Yan quietly walked into Grandma's room and the old man on the bed slowly opened his eyes. Clearly, he had not fallen asleep yet.
"Grandma... I woke you up earlier." Lyi Yan felt a little apologetic as she rubbed against the bed. She held the old man's hand and pressed it against her cheek. "Sorry, I did not manage to settle the matter properly..."
"It's also hard on you. There are so many things to be done together." Grandma's voice was hoarse, and her thin fingers caressed Lyi Yan's face. She had naturally heard the noise outside the door earlier, but the moment she lost Grandfather... She did not have the strength to care about the matters between the young people, "Is Little Yan alright? How about it?"
"... " I don't know yet." Lyi Yan slightly lowered her head. Her phone had not been turned on and the knot in her heart had not been completely untied.
"Help Grandma ask. Grandma is quite worried..." The old man patted the back of her hand and his red eyes were full of kindness.
"Grandma..." Lyi Yan's nose ached and she almost cried again.
After returning to the room to take her phone, Lyi Yan hid in the bathroom and did not want to disturb Soong Yiyi and the rest. The phone slowly turned on and buzzed. A notification of missed calls and SMS popped up. There were not many messages in the notification that belonged to Yan Xuan. There was no "crazy explosion" on her phone. There were no sincere explanations and explanations for her. It seemed that after knowing that she had turned off her phone at the beginning, he did not do it again. On the contrary, Zhao Wanyi, Zhang Xiaoyin, and a few colleagues called and sent her a lot of text messages, mostly to comfort and encourage her. Among them, Zhao Wanyi was the one who felt the most warmth. The words that were transmitted did not seem like what she would say in person.
Lyi Yan could not help but smile. These people, who were usually not very familiar with each other, had given her care. It made her feel distressed. Unlike Yan Xuan and Soong Yiyi, it was different. That was another feeling that came from her team. After calming down, she replied one by one to express her gratitude, indicating that she was fine. She would do the rest of the work and wait for the reply to be sent. She hesitated slightly, but still took a deep breath. She called Yan Xuan.
"Hello, Yan." It was Jack who answered the call. He deliberately lowered his voice and walked out of the ward.
"Yan, Yan Xuan... Is he alright?" Lyi Yan was a little embarrassed and nervous. Her voice came out of her throat with great difficulty.
"He's not particularly good. The doctor said he has myocardial gastroenteritis and has slight gastroenteritis. At this moment, she is still having a fever and is hanging on water. She hasn't woken up yet." Jack said as a matter of fact that he wouldn't help that guy hide the truth. He didn't exaggerate either. " The doctor said that it was because he hadn't been able to get through it before, and he had been working too hard these few days. That's why it's like this. "
... "" Lyi Yan held the phone and could not help but tremble slightly. She silently bit her lips and did not know what to say. She had just been discharged from the hospital and went back to the hospital. She had always forgotten that Yan Xuan was still a patient.
"Yan, did you see the news of the press conference?" Jack saw that she did not speak and knew that Yan Xuan was like this. She also did not feel good, so he changed the topic and asked.
"Yes, I saw it, but it was just a short message." Lyi Yan could not help thinking about Yan Xuan's voice in the message and what Dong said in the afternoon.
"Don't blame Ray. He can only say that to outsiders now. He doesn't feel good about it either..." Originally, Jack didn't understand why Yan Xuan couldn't wait to hang the water in Renli before coming to G City, until the news of the press conference came out in the afternoon. So that's how it was!
"I know, I know." Lyi Yan did not wait for Jack to finish speaking and quickly expressed that she could understand.
"Yan, I am afraid that you will misunderstand again. Now that you say it like this, I am relieved." Lyi Yan's affirmative answer made Jack secretly relieved. It did not waste Yan Xuan's effort.
"Jack, I... Am I very insensible? Earlier, I threw a tantrum at him, and... and even asked him not to come to the memorial..." Lyi Yan secretly reflected, even though the entire matter could not be completely said to be her fault. But once the method of dealing with it was compared, she clearly could not compare to one ten-thousandth of Yan Xuan.
"This kind of thing is troublesome for anyone. It just so happens that something happened to Grandfather. It's normal for you to lose your temper. It's good that you can explain it clearly now. However, the human heart is tough. Don't look at Ray's usual invincible appearance. In fact, his heart is full of scars. There are not many pieces of good flesh left. He's also competitive, and he loves to show off. " As he complained, he was worried. When it came to Yan Xuan, Jack's nagging skills were on the same level as Qi Mingyu's.
"Well, you're right. He just likes to show off..." As he laughed, he wanted to cry. He felt uncomfortable in his heart. The past few days had been really terrible.
"Oh, right. Ray will definitely go to tomorrow's memorial service. When the time comes, you can pull that Dong or whatever. I think the young man is quite aggressive. He might not care about occasions like the memorial service. " Jack said a few more words before he finally said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of Ray. The doctor said that the symptoms of hanging water and taking medicine for the second half of the night should be alleviated. You should sleep early too. You still have work to do for the memorial service tomorrow. Don't be too tired. "
"Thank you, Jack." Lyi Yan thanked him and hung up the phone. She looked at her phone and was stunned for a while. Then, she opened the website and entered the keywords "Aromatic Stomach Inflammation."
Although Ray usually looked invincible, his heart was full of scars. There were not many pieces of good meat left...
Girl, you don't believe in my feelings. What do you want me to do with you...
It wasn't that he didn't believe her, it was just that he had encountered a dead end, and Grandfather had left.
I'm sorry, Yan Xuan.
"Grandma, Yan Xuan is fine. Don't worry." Rubbing to Grandma's bedside again, Lyi Yan found a place to lie beside Grandma. "Grandma, let's cheer for tomorrow's memorial, okay? Grandfather was watching. You know, he hated it when others were sad and sad and did not pull themselves together. We can't let him hate us, right? "
" Yan, Grandma knows what you are worried about. Grandma will do her best. The old man's eyes unconsciously reddened again. He felt his granddaughter hugging him tightly. She knew that the same pain in her granddaughter's heart would not be less.
The next morning, everyone left in a car. The memorial service was scheduled at 8 AM. Soong Yiyi was mainly in charge of handling the relevant procedures. Fatty was in charge of arranging cars to pick up relatives and friends. Dong was mainly in charge of the white flowers, mineral water, and some miscellaneous matters. Lyi Yan had been supporting Grandma. Silently, she prepared a eulogy in her heart over and over again.
Everything was going smoothly. The weather at eight o'clock in the morning was not particularly hot. The memorial hall was already set up and Lyi Yan supported Grandma after encouraging each other. First, she looked at Grandfather's body. In the end, Grandma was still crying uncontrollably. Lyi Yan forcefully endured her grief. She softly comforted Grandma and fanned her to drink water. Supporting her to sit by the side, she waited for the time.
"Lyi Yan, my condolences. Sister Yin and the others have something to do today, so they asked me to represent them." Zhao Wanyi wore a black suit and walked in front of them. She took off her sunglasses. She patted Lyi Yan's shoulder and then turned to Grandma to advise," Grandma, you must take care of yourself. The weather is hot. Drink more water to cool down."
"Thank you..." After this incident, Lyi Yan's impression of Zhao Wanyi changed again. At this time, she appeared here and rushed to the train at about five o'clock in the morning.
"No need to thank me. Quickly pull yourself together and make a wish. There are a bunch of things waiting for you." Zhao Wanyi looked around a few times, as if she was looking for someone. In the end, she did not find him. She said to Lyi Yan, "Teacher Yan Xuan will also come today, right? I heard from Jack that he went to the hospital again?"
"Yes, he was not completely cured." Lyi Yan lowered her eyes guiltily. "But he should be here today."
"Ah! I saw him! Excuse me for a moment." Zhao Wanyi left and walked towards Yan Xuan who had just arrived.
Looking from afar, the man was still wearing a dark black suit. He stood with Jack in the crowd, looking low-key and quiet.
She also very much wanted to walk to his side like Zhao Wanyi and greet him. She said a few words of concern, but she sat beside Grandma and did not move. Her courage seemed to be hiding. Suddenly, she did not know how to face him. What to say, how to express...
Very quickly, the memorial service began.
The white silk, black cloth, and wreath in the mourning hall, the big "long speech to stay aloof from worldly affairs" made people's hair turn sour. The people who participated in the memorial service followed the staff's instructions and stood in the middle of the hall facing the portrait. Most of them wore black or white clothes, and their faces were solemn. They kept silent. Grandfather's family stood at the front and Lyi Yan supported Grandma in the middle. The emcee followed the usual procedure of the memorial service and used a suppressed voice. Send the deceased off for the last time.
"Everyone, please stand solemnly and mourn in silence! Sorrow music."
...
"The dead are already gone, please send your condolences to the family members."
...
When Lyi Yan was about to hand Grandma over to someone temporarily, she realized that they had agreed to take care of a relative of Grandma. Standing beside them, they actually cried even more fiercely than Grandma! This situation was somewhat unexpected. Lyi Yan swept her gaze over the few people beside her. She did not know who to hand Grandma over to to rest assured. After all, the eulogy was a very painful segment. If...
"Go."
At this crucial moment, the hoarse and low voice brought with it a sense of security. Lyi Yan slightly raised her head to look at Yan Xuan who came from an unknown place. She saw him carefully take Grandma from her hands and heard him say:
"I will not let anything happen to Grandma."
