CHAPTER 120: CHAPTER 120: WEN XIAOWEN PASSES AWAY

Hearing Xiao Li’s response, Wen Zeyu was dumbfounded with surprise.

Before, at his uncle’s house, knowing grandpa was near his end, hearing grandpa constantly mention Xiao Li’s name, he suggested calling Xiao Li.

In the end, his dad and uncle told him not to call.

Later, he secretly made the call anyway, but the number last time was Qin Xiao’s, and the other party didn’t answer his call at all.

Helpless, Wen Zeyu could only go to the hospital, and the result turned out like this...

He never expected Xiao Li would refuse!

Wen Zeyu spoke up rather dumbfoundedly, "Why not go see grandpa?

Even if it wasn’t right for grandpa to drive aunt away back then, he’s regretted it all these years, always looking for you. Can’t you go see him one last time?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Li bitterly smiled inside: Why?

Because as soon as she thought of the grievances suffered by grandma and mom, she couldn’t bring herself to see Wen Xiaowen even once.

Back then, did Wen Xiaowen really have no choice?

No, if back then he had a bit more courage, when the Bai Family couldn’t care for them anymore, he should have left the Wen Family altogether and taken the family far away.

Could the people from the main branch truly have connections so extensive they could find them anywhere in the world?

Furthermore, when Cheng Jue said he intended to frame the uncles, he just believed it. Was it really impossible to clear it up upon investigation?

Ultimately, it was Wen Xiaowen’s inadequacy. Grandma made such a choice firstly for the children, secondly to show Wen Xiaowen she was truly disappointed.

Otherwise, after that incident, grandma wouldn’t have refused to live under the same roof with Wen Xiaowen ever again.

Thus, she wouldn’t go to see Wen Xiaowen.

Xiao Li glanced at Wen Zeyu briefly; for someone who knew nothing about the situation, she didn’t want to say more.

Her uncles kept it from Wen Zeyu for a reason, and likely not just Wen Zeyu was kept in the dark among several brothers.

The others probably don’t know much either; if anyone knows a bit, it should be Wen Zelin, who’s responsible for looking for mom.

"You came to find me without my uncle and step-uncle knowing, right?

If they knew you were looking for me, they would definitely stop you.

Wen Zeyu, there are some things you don’t know, and I won’t say more.

In any case, I won’t go!

Stop wasting time trying to convince me, just hurry back! Lest you can’t make it to deliver it."

Having said this, Xiao Li left the nurse’s station and headed to the doctor’s duty room nearby.

Dai Zihan, confused after listening for a while, followed after Xiao Li once she left.

Wen Zeyu stood there, somewhat at a loss, watching Xiao Li leave.

Dai Zihan followed Xiao Li into the duty room, standing behind the door, sneaking a peek, "Hey... Xiao Lili, who was that person? Not leaving, still standing there."

Xiao Li sat at the desk, feeling a bit low, "He’s my second uncle’s son, my cousin."

Dai Zihan turned her head in surprise, "You have uncles and a cousin; are they also in B City?

You never mentioned them before...

He just said grandpa’s almost gone; doesn’t that mean your grandfather’s almost gone? Aren’t you going?"

Xiao Li shook her head, "There are things you don’t understand here, I have my reasons not to go."

Dai Zihan lightly nodded, "This is your family matter; I don’t know the situation, won’t say much.

Do what you think is right."

Xiao Li nodded.

Dai Zihan turned back to continue peeking outside the door, seeing Wen Zeyu still standing there, said, "That cousin of yours is still there; will he keep waiting there?"

At that moment, a patient was in an emergency and pressed the call bell, Xiao Li stood up and walked to the back of Dai Zihan, "Bed 16 has a situation, let’s go!"

The two of them left the duty room directly heading to bed 16, Wen Zeyu watched Xiao Li’s figure disappear at the hospital room entrance, and ultimately had no choice but to leave quietly...

In the evening, when Qin Xiao came to pick up Xiao Li, he talked about Wen Xiaowen’s condition.

At the Wen Family, Qin Xiao had sent people to keep an eye on it, knowing Wen Xiaowen was nearing his end, with the younger generation all rushing back.

That’s also why he didn’t answer Wen Zeyu’s call.

He already knew what the other party wanted to say, why bother picking up?

Qin Xiao also knew about Wen Zeyu seeking Xiao Li at the hospital, mentioning it now just to get her thoughts.

Xiao Li spoke softly, "I won’t go see him.

Grandma and mom passed away with regrets, why can he leave without regrets?

Let him take this guilt and leave, go underground to atone to grandma!"

Qin Xiao held the steering wheel with his left hand, reached out his right to squeeze Xiao Li’s hand, giving her comfort.

Just then, a phone rang in the car, Qin Xiao pressed answer, and Feng Ye’s voice sounded inside the car, "Second Master, the brother keeping an eye on that side said: the old master of the Wen Family just passed away."

Upon hearing Feng Ye’s words, Qin Xiao’s first reaction was to look at Xiao Li, and after seeing her expression unchanged, he spoke, "Do you know when the funeral is held?"

Feng Ye responded, "The day after tomorrow, the Wen family’s second branch doesn’t plan to hold it big, just a small family memorial service at the funeral home in the morning, followed by cremation."

Qin Xiao simply said, "Got it!

After hanging up, Qin Xiao looked at Xiao Li, "Do you want to go?"

Xiao Li nodded, "Yes."

She didn’t go to see Wen Xiaowen before he passed, to express her unforgiving stance.

Going to the memorial service now isn’t from her own desire; she merely wants to send him off on behalf of mom.

Mom wanted her to return to B City, hoping she’d fulfill her filial duty, grandma’s funeral she missed, so his she should attend.

On the day of cremation, Xiao Li and Qin Xiao came together, and when Wen Jishan and Wen Jiliang saw them, they were both a bit surprised.

Wen Zeyu, upon seeing Xiao Li, even complained emotionally to her, "When I went to find you that day, you didn’t come. Why are you here now?"

Wen Jiliang immediately scolded upon hearing this, "Zeyu, don’t speak recklessly."

Xiao Li didn’t mind what Wen Zeyu said; she quietly proceeded to offer incense, bidding farewell to Wen Xiaowen alongside the Wen family, both cremating and burying him.

Wen Xiaowen was not buried in the Wen family cemetery; his tombstone was placed in a public cemetery with Bai Ruoqing; yet he wasn’t laid next to Bai Ruoqing but some distance away.

Because he knew Bai Ruoqing definitely would not wish to be buried beside him.

After watching Wen Xiaowen’s burial, Xiao Li and Qin Xiao left, and Wen Zeyu was a bit angry seeing her leave like this, but in the end, it was Wen Zelin who stopped the few who wanted to rampage.

Upon seeing this, Wen Jishan and Wen Jiliang exchanged glances, "Brother, let’s tell the kids about it!

We can’t let Zeyu and the others misunderstand that child."

Wen Jishan nodded.

Before, they kept it under wraps to maintain dad’s dignity and because the kids were young and might not bear it.

Now, dad is gone, and the children have grown up; it’s time to tell them, so they’re not left in the dark.

That child could bear it, so Zeyu and the others should be able to too.
