Chapter 462
“Now once such a balance is broken, it’s not only the Dragon Corps that will suffer, but also our Zhuge Family.So I did want to find out who was behind it and see who was using the knife to kill, but unfortunately, I haven’t found out much until now.”
Biden Lu frowned at the news.
“Even you guys didn’t find out?”
Speaking of which, Zhuge Liuyong’s appearance darkened slightly.
“Yes, in this world it’s always been a matter of people outside of people and the sky outside of the sky, all these years I’ve always thought that the Zijin family was considered not to be underestimated in this land even if it can’t be considered to be only a handful, but I didn’t expect…”
He sighed, the words had been spoken and there was no doubt in anyone’s mind.
A few people looked at each other, then Biden Lu said, “Okay, let’s just do as you say on this matter, and if there is any news behind it, please bother to inform.”
The flowing wind of the gods nodded.
He suddenly looked at Jenny and smiled slightly.
“Now that you’re done with your business, can we take a moment to talk about ours?”
Everyone was stunned.
Only Jenny, frowned coldly.
She stood up and said in a cold voice, “We have nothing to talk about.”
It was as if Zhuge Liuyong had anticipated her reaction, so he wasn’t surprised and only smiled faintly.
“I know you have anger in your heart, not only for what happened to your mother, but also for this error in judgment on my part that led to leaving the landing deeply wounded.
But all of this was unintentional on my part, and a big part of the reason for the heavy misunderstanding was because we didn’t know each other well before.
Now that the opportunity is in front of us to get to know each other and be honest with each other, isn’t it better than being hostile to each other?”
Jenny gave him a look, and although he was still angry, he had to admit that he had a point.
Regardless of how you feel about them, it is essential to sit down and get to know each other.
She turned to look at Biden Lu and saw that Biden Lu also nodded to her secretly, so that’s when she sat down again.
Zhuge Liuyong had a gentle smile on his face as he saw the situation and ordered Scarface to go out first.
Then he ordered someone to build good tea to come over, before finally looking at Jenny and slowly saying, “You and your father look a lot like each other.”
Jenny snorted and didn’t look at him, obviously still having a problem with him.
Zhuge Liuyun also didn’t mind, only smiling lightly, “By the way you still don’t know your father’s name, right? His name is Zhuge Liuyun, he is my elder brother, back then he was also a prominent young talent in this land, a talent, handsome and elegant, I don’t know how many rich ladies admired and worshipped him.”
Although Jenny had a problem with him on the surface, talking about the topic of his own father would actually be more or less interesting to anyone in their right mind.
So although she pretended not to care, she had already been listening carefully.
Zhuge Liufeng also knew what she was twisting and didn’t mind, and continued, “I don’t know how much you already know about him and your mother, but I’ll tell you the general idea.”
And then the centuries-old first marriage of the Zijin family was added
The situation was told to her.
He sighed and said, “Your father was naturally fond of freedom, not of being burdened by the trappings of the city, and even less of such compulsory marriages as family.
That’s why he fell in love with your mother as soon as he met her at school, and he had tried so hard to break the family shackles and be with her.
But knowing that this rule has been handed down for centuries, how can it be easily broken?Besides, the parasite had been planted, and unless it was combined with the other half of the person who had planted it, the parasite would strike in the body, and it couldn’t be easily undone in any case.
Your father fought back fearlessly even though he knew the consequences, and he truly loved your mother.”
As Jenny listened, he gradually became somewhat moved, and the coldness on his face was less, replaced by some curiosity and probing.
Zhuge Liuyong continued, “There was really nothing he could do about the separation from your mother in the first place.He knew he wasn’t going to be able to spend the rest of his life with your mother after all.And if you continue to stay with him, you will instead kill your mother.
That’s why he got discouraged and went away and ended up dying on the battlefield in Africa, you know Africa at the time.The situation is so chaotic that even our Zijin family wouldn’t dare to insert it, but he’s over there incognito with a suicidal attitude as a soldier.He is the one who has completely given up hope of living, so how can he not die if he is determined to die?”
Jenny looked at him in silence, watching the regret and sigh that showed on his face.
“It’s a shame, he thought he would be able to protect your mother that way, but she suffered from depression because of his death and passed away with him within a few years, that’s probably the saddest thing about a couple of lovers, but it’s good that you’re all grown up now, they should be glad to see you if they’re in heaven.”
Jenny Jing frowned and asked, “Then when he died back then didn’t he ever think that my mother’s heart would die with his death?”
Zhuge Liufeng laughed, “Where in this world is there so much foresight, if there really was, there wouldn’t be so many regrets happening.”
The room fell silent for a moment as this was said, and everyone didn’t know what to say.
Zhuge Liufeng said, “When your father went to the battlefield in the first place, he didn’t even know you existed, I think if he knew of your existence he would have been a little more attached to it and didn’t so simply choose that path of no return.”
Jenny Jing sneered, “It’s already happened, so where are the ifs?”
The streamers choked, for a moment, and laughed listlessly.
“You’re right, but now that you’ve grown up, there are some things that belong to you that I still need to hand over to you, so come over to my house when you’re free and I’ll talk to you in detail then.”
Jenny Jing’s attitude was a bit cold, and he didn’t look at him, only saying coldly, “No need, let’s talk about this later.”
While she was curious about her own father, she still hadn’t fully accepted the fact that the Zhuge family had become her closest relatives after all.
Thus, a few cautions and rejections were reserved for Zhuge Liufeng’s proposal.
Zhuge Liufeng saw the situation and didn’t force the matter, he only said, “It’s okay, you can take your time to think about it, don’t worry, I’ll keep everything that belongs to you for you, no one will dare to covet or try to take it away, when you think about it sometime, come back to me, and I’ll definitely return it to you as much as I can then.”
Jenny didn’t say anything, and after a moment of silence, everyone stood up.
Chapter 463
“It’s getting late, we should get going.”
Zhuge Liufeng also stood up and suggested, “Since we’re all here today, why don’t we stay and have a casual meal together?”
Jenny coldly refused, “No, we have work to do.”
Then they took the lead and walked out.
Her attitude was clearly somewhat repulsive, and Zhuge Liuyong touched his nose, somewhat despondent.
Biden Lu looked at him, but he didn’t say anything, the two of them didn’t know each other on the first day, but they already knew each other’s meaning with just a glance.
Zhuge Liufeng smiled, “I’m going to have to ask you to help me persuade me more on this matter, Jenny is rather repulsive to me, but she should be able to listen to a few of your words.”
Biden Lu chanted, “I’ll do my best, but I’ll also respect her thoughts, and I won’t interfere with whatever her final decision is.”
His words were actually tantamount to already declining Zhuge Liufeng’s request in disguise.
Zhuge Liufeng had no choice but to nod his head, “Okay, I understand.”
A group of people leave the dragon fight.
Kepler looked at the time and said, “It’s getting late, there’s nothing for you to do when you go back around, why don’t you go sit at our house and have dinner by the way.”
Jenny was about to nod her head, but just then, her phone rang.
She picked up the phone and looked at it, frowning slightly, then pressed answer.
The call was from Guan Ji Ming, his voice somewhat anxious, “Jenny, are you still in F country?”
Jenny nodded his head and asked, “What’s wrong?Uncle.”
Guan Jiming said urgently, “Your grandfather is not going to make it, if you can, book a flight back tonight and catch up with him for the last time around.”
Jenny shook so hard that he could hardly believe his ears.
She stayed there, only to have her head suddenly go blank and her ears buzz.
It took a long time before I could barely find my voice.
“How come…he was fine when he called me a few days ago…”
On the phone, Guan Ji Ming’s mood was also a bit low.
“This kind of thing is just a matter of days, your grandfather’s health had already failed a few months ago, these months are just strong enough to come over, now it is a strong crossbow with no oil left, what he wants to do most now is to see you, and I hope that you must come back as soon as possible, at least to fulfill his last wish.”
Jenny was silent for a moment, his fingers tightening slightly as he squeezed the phone.
It took a long time before he hissed, “Okay, I understand, I’ll arrange it right away.”
Only after she hung up the phone did she look at Biden Lu with red eyes, her voice light and almost inaudible, with a hint of hidden tears.
“Biden Lu, uncle said… Grandfather he can’t make it.”
In fact, as early as when she answered the phone just now, Biden Lu had already heard what Guan Ji Ming said from her phone.
His face sank slightly as he looked at the time on his watch and turned to look at Kepler.
“Kepler, we have to rush back tonight, it should be too late to book our tickets now, so please help us make the arrangements.”
Kepler also knew the seriousness of this matter and nodded, “Good, it just so happens that there is a private jet at home, I’ll immediately go back and ask them to arrange it, it shouldn’t be a problem to leave in the evening.”
Only then did Jenny and Biden Lu nod their heads, thanking later
And hurry back to the hospital to pack.
Throughout the afternoon, Jenny’s mind was so confused that he could barely find his way around if not for Mo Nan’s help when packing.
Sometimes people are like that, a thing when you have, you do not feel how valuable, only when you are about to lose will you remember, there are so many things you want to say not say, there are so many things you want to do not do, to that time is already too late to regret, there is no time and opportunity.
Biden Lu saw that she was not in her right mind and comforted her, “Don’t think too much about it, it’s normal for people to live, get old, get sick and die, not to mention that Uncle Guan Er was only saying that he was critically ill this time and didn’t give an ultimatum, so maybe if we go back, Grandfather will get better all of a sudden.”
Jenny nodded, although he knew he was comforting himself, he felt much better.
In fact, she did not understand that the birth, old age, illness and death of such a thing is not humanly possible to save, and Guan Ji Ming’s character, if not really to the irrevocable, it is impossible to be as anxious as now, but also with her to say that, and can never ask her to immediately go back, just to see the old man one last time.
But people, even if they are drowning, will desperately try to grasp at the last straw.
Even if it’s just a million percent hope and expectation, I’d rather believe that maybe a miracle will happen, and maybe it will be okay?
Because that’s the only thing that will keep her strong through this.
Things were quickly packed up, and it wasn’t until Jenny was on her way out that she remembered that Biden Lu was still injured.
She even asked, “Are your injuries from the plane ride okay?”
Biden Lu shook his head, “I’m fine, I’ve just been re-packaged, it’s only a few hours journey around, it’s not too late to call the doctor again if anything happens after we get home.”
Jenny sniffed, and though he was still worried, he knew that there was no other way out at this point.”
When she went back, it was impossible for Biden Lu not to follow, so she could only nod her head.
Kepler soon called them and said that it was ready there, so the group headed out to the airport.
Master Guan is now in such a situation that not only are Biden Lu and Jenny Jing going back, but even the Jin family learned of the news and sent Kepler along with them.
After all, the two families are also considered friends of the world, if this misfortune really will not last, Kepler over there, also just on behalf of the Jin family to express condolences and mourning to the old man.
The plane took off at 7pm and arrived in the country at 3am.
Guan Ji Ming had learned of their itinerary and had arranged for someone to be waiting at the airport in advance, so as soon as they stepped off the plane, they met the Guan family to pick them up.
We all got in the car together and drove straight to the hospital.
Hospital.
Master Kwan has fallen into mortality.
Everyone in the Kwan family was at the hospital, just in case the old man couldn’t make it out and walk away at some point, they weren’t there.
Even Guan Jili, who had been sent overseas, was called back this time.
After all, it was his own flesh and blood, and at times like these, the past was less important.
But Guan Jili now has no real power in his hands, except for managing a few small companies abroad, nothing else, so there is no fear of him making trouble.
Jenny’s group arrived at the hospital just as Guan Ji Ming was notified to walk out.
At the sight of them, their eyes lit up.
“Jenny, Biden, you’re back.”
Chapter 464
Jenny nodded and looked towards the ward.
“How’s Grandpa doing?”
At the mention of this, Guan Ji Ming’s appearance instantly became heavy.
He sighed.
“There’s not much time left, so go in and take a look, and remember to keep it short.”
Jenny nodded.
She stepped towards the hospital room, Biden Lu and Kepler were waiting outside the door and didn’t follow her inside.
They knew that at this time, the only person the old man wanted to see was Jenny, and it was best for the others to leave them alone.
Jenny changed into a sterile suit and walked in alone.
On the hospital bed, the oiled-up old man lay there, his eyes slightly open a fraction, perhaps hearing footsteps and struggling to look over at her.
Jenny’s footsteps stopped there.
Obviously, I said I’d lay there with Master Kwan, but I still couldn’t help the sore eyes and the tears that welled up.
“Ning, ning.”
He held out his hand towards her and Jenny pursed her lips, holding back the sourness before taking two quick steps up and taking his hand.
“Grandpa, you’re awake, how are you feeling?”
The old man looked at her, his eyes slightly misty.
For a moment, before saying weakly, “I thought I was dreaming, but it really was you.”
At this moment, hearing his words such as these, the strength that Jenny had constructed for so long on his own, finally collapsed and crumbled.
She held the old man’s withered hand and sobbed.
Compared to her pain, Kwan was much more calm.
He lay there quietly, looking at her with a compassionate and loving gaze, and after a long time, he said softly, “Jenny, listen to me.”
Jenny whimpered and nodded.
And the tears didn’t stop.
Perhaps sensing that he was dying, he didn’t beg her to stop crying.
Only slowly said, “There are three people in this life that I know I’m sorry for.”
“Ahem… One, was your mother, when, back then, if it wasn’t for me, she wouldn’t have been separated from the person she loved so much, and wouldn’t have buried herself all her life at such a young age, and it was me who was so… selfish, thinking thatSeparation is what’s best for her, and that’s why you’re deliberately trying to make them feel wrong, you…”
“Your mother has resented me all my life, and I’ve gone underground to make amends with her.The first and second man is your father.”
“Your father is a good man, he can’t be blamed for what happened to him and your mother, he can only be blamed for the family’s bad habits and the tricks of fate, back then I forced them apart and made your father frustrated, which caused him to take his life lightly, I’m sorry for him.”
“The third person, that’s you.”
He suddenly turned his head slowly and looked at Jenny, his thin hand lovingly caressing her face, tears of emotion hidden in his eyes.
“Jenny, the mistake that Grandfather made in his life, causing you to go into exile at such a young age, it’s Grandfather who is sorry for you, I can’t live to make it up to you, there’s no way to make it up to you, I hope you don’t hate me.”
Afterwards, he suddenly coughed violently, as if he wanted to cough up his lungs.
Jenny Jing even reached out his hand to help him calm down, Master Guan slightly closed his eyes, slowly said: “Jenny, I owe you too much, so, even if a hundred years later you no longer recognize me as a grandfather, it does not matter, I have signed, signed the agreement to donate the body, let me use this tattered body to do one last thing for the world, as atonement for your sins!…….”
“Grandpa, don’t say that.”
Jenny sobbed.
“Be a good girl, and Grandpa will bless you, and you must live.”
The voice suddenly trailed off.
Jenny only felt the hand he was holding suddenly go soft.
Then it snapped and sank.
She was startled, and her heart felt as if it had sunk with a crash.
Next to him, the heartbeat monitor began to make rapid and chaotic noises, and Guan Jiaming came in from outside, and with just a glance, his face changed dramatically.
Run out and yell, “Doctor, where’s the doctor?”
“Here we go.”
A doctor ran in next to him, and Guan Ji Ming looked at Jenny and saw that her eyes were wide open, as if she was standing there like a stone statue, her face bloodless, numb and empty.
He was suddenly a little intolerant and half-hearted, but only sighed softly.
“Jenny, you get up first.”
Jenny’s knuckles gripped up slowly one knuckle at a time.
There was a buzzing in her ears and she was suddenly pulled away by someone, then immediately afterwards her body fell into a warm embrace.
Biden Lu held her and watched with a blank expression as the doctors gave first aid to Master Guan.
However, there is no hope.
Ten minutes later, the doctor pronounced the old man’s departure complete.
Because the donation agreement was signed beforehand, the doctors had to move the person into the extraction procedure before the body was now rigid.
After all, Guan Jiming was a man, and a few decades older than her, so he took a much lighter view of life, old age and death.
Seeing that she looked lost and unbearable, she came over.
“People they’re taking away, and you…” he paused, finally, in a quiet voice, “Do you need to keep some sort of souvenir?”
A body donation agreement is signed, and even a loved one can no longer touch anything on the deceased’s body.
Jenny looked at him and, eventually, shook his head.
“He’s in my heart, and that’s the best way to remember him.”
Guan Ji Ming nodded, and soon the doctor got some people to come over and push the man out.
There was still a whole lot of paperwork to be done later, so Guan Ji Ming naturally left with them, and the entire ward was suddenly empty.
Jenny stood there as the sunlight spilled in through the window and onto her shoulders, as cold as snow.
She closed her eyes slightly, and the air seemed to still have the remnants of the old man’s scent, and a heavy, mountainous word.
“Jenny, don’t hate me…”
Tears, suddenly, rolled down.
Biden Lu saw the situation, his eyebrows sinking slightly, silently embracing her tighter.
Jenny leaned against him weakly, like a lone boat in the ocean that had finally found a harbor to dock in.
She couldn’t restrain herself any longer, gripping the shirt off his shoulders and crying out in dismay.
Kepler came in at some point, and sighed at the sight of it.
“Jenny, I’m sorry for the loss.”
Jenny didn’t speak.
There was a cry outside, and it was all the Kwan family.
At this point, whether it is false or not, all that everyone is showing is grief.
……..
Master Guan’s funeral was done very simply.
This was something the old man had deliberately delivered before his death.
He believed that he had done more for his life than for his achievements, and was unwilling to let anyone make a big deal out of his death, so he didn’t even allow anyone to come to his funeral except for some people close to him.
The funeral is natural with the clothes casket, the old man’s war half a lifetime has long looked down on life and death, for the death of these red tapes, never mind.
