Chapter 721 The Last Chat

The call was from Song Miaomiao's mother, Wu You.

After listening to Wu You's words, Shi Lei asked, "Aunt Wu, does Miaomiao know about this?"

Wu You said: "Don't tell her yet, this is also what her grandfather meant."

Shi Lei sighed heavily. Although he knew that such a day would come sooner or later, this day came a little too quietly.

"I'll go there now." Shi Lei hung up the phone and went straight to the high-speed rail station.

There are still many high-speed trains from Shanghai to Xixi. Shi Lei didn't even have time to buy a ticket and just followed the crowd into the station. This was a train that would leave in a few minutes.

After boarding the high-speed train, Shi Lei found the flight attendant and paid for his ticket, then sat in his seat and thought quietly about the impact that Mr. Song would have on the Song family if he really left.

An hour later, Shi Lei arrived at Xixi. When he left the station, a soldier came to greet him.

The soldier saluted and said, "Is this Mr. Shi?"

Shi Lei knew that this must be the person sent by the Song family to pick him up, so he nodded and said, "Yes."

"The old chief ordered me to pick you up, please come with me."

Shi Lei followed the soldier into the car and passed through most of Xixi City. Shi Lei arrived at the Song family mansion, which he was no longer unfamiliar with.

Song Miaomiao's father, Song Ziyan, and mother, Wu You, had the rare opportunity of waiting for Shi Lei at the door. As soon as Shi Lei got out of the car, the two of them came forward to greet him. Without any greetings, they just said: "Hurry."

Shi Lei followed Song Miaomiao's parents inside and asked, "Secretary Song, Aunt Wu, why didn't you send the old man to the hospital?"

Song Ziyan sighed and said: "My father is not sick or in trouble, but his physical indicators have dropped sharply. He went to the hospital for a comprehensive examination and found that there is no problem. The doctor didn't say it clearly, but my father said that this is the end of the road. There is no need to stay in the hospital and waste public resources, so he might as well come back. After he felt that his energy was obviously low, he kept saying that he wanted to see you, but we thought it might just be a while, and it might be over after a while. But. Unexpectedly, I went to call him for breakfast this morning. It took him a long time to wake up. Seeing that he didn’t even have the strength to eat, we thought he might not survive for long. We thought that my father’s last wish was to meet him. You, so I asked your aunt to call you here."

Wu You also said quickly: "I'm really sorry for delaying your work."

Shi Lei nodded and said, "It's okay. This is what I should do. The old man has always been very kind to me."

Song Ziyan and Wu You looked at each other, with some comfort in their eyes.

Arriving at the door of the old man's separate house, Shi Lei stood still and knocked gently on the door.

A nurse inside opened the door, saw Shi Lei, and saw Song Ziyan and Wu You behind him, and then let Shi Lei in.

However, Song Ziyan and Wu You did not go in. Instead, they shouted: "Xiao Chen, please come out and let Shi Lei chat with the old man alone for a while."

Although nurse Xiao Chen was obviously a little worried, she still withdrew and closed the door carefully.

Shi Lei walked quickly to Old Mrs. Song's bed, and saw that the old man who was energetic and rosy not long ago was now skinny, with dull eyes and no color on his face. When he saw Shi Lei, he felt slightly refreshed. Shaking, the chapped lips slightly opened.

Shi Lei hurriedly said: "Grandpa Song, I'm here."

Old Mrs. Song actually smiled, and his eyes became much clearer.

"Sit down." Old Mrs. Song finally said a word, but it was completely out of breath, and his vocal cords could hardly vibrate to make a sound.

Shi Lei followed his words and sat beside the bed. When he saw Old Mrs. Song's hand moving, he grabbed Old Mrs. Song's hand.

Old Mrs. Song looked very comforted, smiled again and said, "I always ask you to come and see me, but if you never come, I won't see you in the future."

Shi Lei was already in a very low mood. When he heard the old man's words, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

He realized that this was not good, and hurriedly wiped his tears with the back of his hand, holding back his grief and said: "Grandpa Song, don't say that, you will definitely get better. You see you don't have any disease, how could you not see it?" What? I will definitely come to see you often in the future. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I..."

Old Mrs. Song moved his fingers slightly and squeezed Shi Lei's hand. In the past, Shi Lei could feel a little pain, but today, he could only feel the old Mrs.'s fingers moving on his hand. There was no strength at all. nothing.

Shi Lei understood that this was a sign of exhaustion. Mr. Song did not suffer from any illness, but his organs were rapidly failing. As people get older, there will always be a day, and there will be no such thing because of subjective will. any changes.

"Pillow..." Old Mrs. Song breathed out, struggling as if he wanted to reach out to his pillow.

Shi Lei once again wiped the tears that had slipped down his face with the back of his hand and said, "Grandpa Song, what do you want to do? Do you think the pillow is uncomfortable?"

Old Mrs. Song didn't speak, but just turned his head and looked hard at the pillow.

Shi Lei didn't understand and stretched his hand towards the pillow, but saw Old Mrs. Song blinking twice, which seemed to indicate that Shi Lei had done the right thing.

Shi Lei realized that there might be something under Old Mrs. Song's pillow, and hurriedly put his hand in, but after touching for a long time, there was nothing.

Old Mrs. Song said again: "Pillow... inside... you take it away..."

Shi Lei did not dare to hesitate, held Old Mrs. Song's head and took out the pillow under his head.

"Inside?" Shi Lei pointed to the pillow.

Old Mrs. Song gasped for air and blinked again.

Shi Lei looked at the pillow, put his hand into the pillowcase, and finally found something.

There was an envelope inside the pillow, and Shi Lei took it out.

Old Mrs. Song breathed a long sigh of relief, and there was a little smile in his eyes. Shi Lei hurriedly opened the envelope, but Old Mrs. Song said, "Look at it later, you talk to me."

Shi Lei was so sad that he was not in the mood to talk, but when Old Mrs. Song said this, he couldn't bear to let an old man down.

"Okay, okay, Grandpa Song, let me talk to you. Why don't you let Miaomiao come back? Miaomiao has told me many times that you are the one who loves her the most and loves her the most in the family. If you are like this now, if she If he finds out in the future, he will definitely scold us to death."

Old Mrs. Song reluctantly spoke in an angry voice: "I don't want to see her cry. That girl is actually very useless. Huh...huh..." Obviously, every word he said was a test for the old man. , after saying a dozen words, all that was left was the sound of rough breathing.

"Miaomiao is different now. She is very powerful now and takes charge of her own business. Wei Xingyue even left the company to her, and she did a very good job. One month after Wei Xingyue left, the company's performance increased again. Quite a few, even Wei Xingyue said that Miaomiao is actually very powerful."

Old Mrs. Song nodded and listened to Shi Lei telling him about Song Miaomiao.

Shi Lei kept talking, and Old Man Song kept listening. Gradually, Shi Lei found that Old Man Song's eyelids began to grow heavy.

He knew that this was not a good performance. If Mr. Song closed his eyes at this moment, he would probably not wake up.

He stood up in a hurry, rushed to the door, and shouted: "Someone, come quickly!"

Opening the door, Song Ziyan and Wu You rushed in with nurse Xiao Chen. Shi Lei suddenly remembered something. He wanted to rush out eagerly, but he heard Song Ziyan cry out in pain: "Dad..."
