405. Chapter 405 Passing (4)
He struggled for a moment, then raised his hand with great difficulty to take off the oxygen mask on his face...
"grandfather……"
Xi Xiaye sniffed and took his hand, while Mu Yuchen also slightly raised his body.
"It's okay...just...just waiting to...see you all."
Xi Jiyang's voice was already very weak. Every word he spoke seemed to be very laborious, and his voice seemed to be dry.
Mu Yuchen took the water from the bedside table, carefully fed him a few sips, and helped him calm down, so that Xi Jiyang calmed down a little.
"Stop working, everyone, sit down..."
Seeing Xi Xiaye twisting the warm towel to wipe her hands, Xi Jiyang said with difficulty, "I won't be able to survive this time. Your father has been busy for a while..."
"No, grandpa, you can live a long life. It'll be fine after this. You haven't seen our wedding yet, how can you not survive it? And Mu Yuchen said that he would go to Xiyuan to find a job soon. Grandpa...you have to get well soon..."
Xi Xiaye held Xi Jiyang's hand tightly, her hoarse voice suppressed the sourness, and the glint in her eyes began to swirl.
After divorcing Shen Wenna, Xi Mushan was busy all day long and had no time to take care of her. Whenever she was wronged or bullied, Xi Jiyang would mostly defend her. No matter what, she was grateful to Xi Jiyang. If not...she should also She wanted to give him more care, but every time she stepped into the West Garden, she would feel so depressed that her chest hurt.
In Xiyuan, she is more like an outsider, so it is better not to go back.
Now seeing Xi Jiyang like this, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time for the wedding. I just want to see you live happily... Ah Chen... be nice to Xia Ye, she is a good girl..."
Xi Jiyang raised his eyes with difficulty to look at Mu Yuchen and said weakly.
"Grandpa, please don't worry, I will do it."
Mu Yuchen leaned over and responded solemnly.
Xi Jiyang swallowed hard, and held Xi Xiaye tightly with his thin hands. The former brilliance in his old eyes gradually faded. He looked at Xi Xiaye, and his dry lips moved slightly for a while. , and then uttered a sentence, "Xia Ye... these years... it is the Xi family that has been sorry for you mother and daughter. Your mother is also a good woman... Grandpa never thought that his selfishness back then would harm your family... Don't be resentful. Your father...cough cough, cough cough...he has had a harder time than anyone else in these years..."
Xi Jiyang was already in a daze, but he still struggled to finish his words. After coughing violently for a few times, Mu Yuchen put an oxygen mask on him.
"I know, grandpa, don't say it. I know it. I have never resented my father... You don't need to say it. Take a good rest. You will be fine in a few days..."
As soon as Xi Xiaye saw Xi Jiyang struggling to breathe hard, the tears in his eyes fell uncontrollably, wetting his hands that were holding Xi Jiyang drop by drop.
Xi Jiyang was only on his deathbed now. He raised his hand and took off the oxygen mask, "Don't be sad, life or death depends on fate... Your wedding... I'm afraid I won't be able to attend, but grandpa still left you a dowry... ...Achen, drawer...in the drawer..."
Xi Jiyang pointed tremblingly at the drawer beside him. Mu Yuchen reached out and opened the drawer knowingly. He saw a file bag inside. He quickly took it out and handed it to Xi Jiyang.
Xi Jiyang took it with trembling hands and handed it to Xi Xiaye with difficulty, "This is the dowry that grandpa left for you... Grandpa knows that Yueying will not be able to keep it sooner or later... I asked you to sign it because I want to help your father find the dowry." Unbearable evidence... Your grandma is a very shrewd woman, ahem... She set up your father and took those photos... You have to know that once those things are exposed, your father... My child, I also hope You can understand my feelings as a father, which is why I persuaded your mother to divorce your father..."
Hearing this, Xi Xiaye was shocked!
Looking at Xi Jiyang in disbelief...
"I, I... hope you can help me apologize to your mother... I'm sorry for her, it's my selfishness that caused all this tragedy... Xia Ye, Ah Chen..."
"We are here, grandpa..."
Xi Xiaye raised her hand to wipe away the tears that overflowed from the corners of her eyes, sniffed, and held Xi Jiyang's hand tightly.
"Promise...promise grandpa one thing...to live a good life and help your father find your mother...okay...ahem..."
Before he finished his sentence, he coughed again, and the focus of his eyes gradually became unfocused.
Xi Xiaye burst into tears all of a sudden and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I promise you, Grandpa, as long as you get better, I will promise you anything, I will promise you anything..."
Hearing her say this, a long-lost smile appeared on Xi Jiyang's old and haggard face——
"Okay... that's good... okay..."
Then he slowly died.
Xi Xiaye was lowering her head and shedding tears silently. She felt Xi Jiyang's hand soften suddenly. Then she raised her head and saw that Xi Jiyang had closed her eyes. She was shocked and shouted in a hoarse voice, " Grandpa...Grandpa..."
"doctor!"
Mu Yuchen put a hand on Xi Xiaye's shoulder and called for the doctor.
As soon as he heard the call, Xi Mushan rushed in. However, Xi Jiyang on the hospital bed was no longer breathing. The doctor and nurse also rushed in quickly, checked and shook their heads.
"Mayor Xi, the old man has gone..."
The doctor said very seriously.
Xi Mushan's eyes turned red, he wiped his eyes, turned around, nodded, and waved to them, and the doctor quickly withdrew knowingly.
"grandfather……"
Xi Xiaye cried out uncontrollably, turned around and threw herself into the arms of Mu Yuchen beside her, feeling so sad that she couldn't rely on herself...
Mu Yuchen did not say anything, but stretched out his arms to hug him tightly. There was a forbearing melancholy in his silent eyes, looking at Xi Jiyang who had passed away on the hospital bed.
Xi Mushan's eyes were also red. He blinked hard and carefully put back Xi Jiyang's hand that was exposed outside the quilt.
"Dad, just go away. I don't blame you, and I don't hate you either."
As Xi Mushan said this, he couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe his eyes again. Mu Yuchen looked at it and could clearly see the flash of moisture on his palms.
"There is no pain over there. Grandpa will rest in peace. Father, don't be too sad. Life and death are just like this. Just remember him."
Xi Xiaye, who was still crying bitterly in Mu Yuchen's arms, said this to Xi Mushan.
