Chapter 295: After breaking off the engagement Mr. Si chased his wife to the crematorium!
Chapter 295: The First Time Seeing Her Cry
Half an hour later.
All the guests had arrived, and the host was enlivening the atmosphere on stage, then invited Mr. and Mrs. Gao to give their speech.
"Dear relatives and friends, today is a joyous day for my son Gao Yang and his fiancée Bai Muyao's engagement. On behalf of both families, I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude and warm welcome to all the relatives and friends present..."
As Mr. Gao's voice fell, the whole room erupted into applause.
He didn't display any of the humble demeanor he had shown in front of Madam Shang last night. With a confident air, he seemed as if nothing had happened last night.
"As the father of the groom, I take this opportunity to sincerely bless my son and his wife-to-be, hoping that you two will respect and love each other from now on, share joys and sorrows, and have a harmonious and lasting marriage!"
Once again, applause resounded throughout the venue, with smiles and blessings on everyone's faces.
Gao Yang and Bai Muyao exchanged a glance, both eyes filled with deep affection for each other.
"I also want to thank my in-laws here, for raising such a smart and beautiful daughter. I am also very honored that my son can marry such a wife. I sincerely hope that both families can have friendly relations for generations to come!"
Once again, applause filled the room. Mr. Gao handed the microphone to Mrs. Gao, who smiled gracefully, exuding elegance and generosity.
"Today, to announce this joyous occasion and to thank all the guests for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend our engagement banquet, we have prepared some food and drinks. Please enjoy yourselves, and forgive us for any shortcomings in hospitality."
As Mrs. Gao's voice fell, the dreamlike hall once again erupted into enthusiastic applause.
The waiters started serving dishes. There were sixty-six large tables in the hall, each seating ten people, with a total of more than six hundred guests.
"Relatives, please take your seats."
"No, no, please, after you."
"We're all family, no need to be polite..."
The parents of both sides politely offered each other seats, and after they were seated, they all raised their glasses together.
There were performances on stage.
The opening clown amused the entire audience with laughter.
Meanwhile,
A weak hand reached out slowly and painstakingly towards Ou Yan, gently pulling on her clothes, forcing a smile with dwindling strength. "Child, don't cry..."
If the old lady didn't console her, Ou Yan's tears would keep flowing down her face.
No one knew better than Ou Yan about the current condition of the old lady's body. The fact that the old lady could speak to her was like a sign of improvement.
In the past, even when Ou Yan was seriously injured in the Triangle District, she never shed a tear. But now, tears flowed down her face uncontrollably.
Lying on the operating table, Li Yue'e struggled to muster a smile, weakly and kindly saying, "I... just dreamed of your grandfather, he said, the time has come, he's here to take me away..."
Ou Yan shook her head, her eyes, washed by tears, clear and sad, unable to accept this reality no matter what.
"You see, your grandfather is standing over there, smiling at me..."
Li Yue'e was afraid that she would blame herself and feel sad, so she tried her best to comfort her.
"Child, it's grandma's own body that's not cooperating. Don't blame yourself. You're skilled in medicine and have brought grandma back from the brink of death several times... This time, it's just fate, Heaven is coming to take me."
Originally, she should have died years ago, but it was Yan Yan's medical skills that gave her a few more years of life.
She was content.
Ou Yan wiped away the tears on her face, still kneeling beside the old lady, her voice choked with sobs and tenderness, "Grandma, please don't speak anymore. Let me try other methods."
"It's no use... Grandma's body... knows it. In this life, having a good granddaughter like you, I... am content... Having you, I haven't lived in vain..."
Li Yue'e was almost out of breath, struggling and trying hard to add, "Just... just can't see you wearing a wedding dress, walking... walking into the marriage hall..."
Her Yan Yan, wearing a wedding dress, must be very beautiful!
Unfortunately, she would never see it in her lifetime...
At this moment, the door of the operating room was violently pushed open by Tang Yiyang. "Xiao Ou Yan! Si Yechen has been waiting outside!"
"Let him in!" Ou Yan said, carefully wiping away the tears from the old lady's face, and softly pleaded, "Grandma, hold on a little longer, Ah Yechen will be here soon... I haven't even introduced you two yet..."
Li Yue'e seemed not to have heard, using all her remaining strength, she said with a smile, "Grandma finally... is no longer... a burden to you... Take care of yourself... be happy..."
"Grandma—"
Si Yechen rushed in, only to see Li Yue'e breathe her last in front of Ou Yan, her weak hand slipping down.
"Grandma—"
Ou Yan couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes, holding Li Yue'e in her arms, her mind went blank.
Not long after, the entire operating room was filled with the heart-wrenching cries of the girl, while Si Yechen's footsteps froze in place, never expecting that being one second late would mean the difference between life and death.
"Grandma, wake up..." Ou Yan knelt on the cold floor, holding the old lady's body, crying hysterically.
This was the first time Si Yechen had seen her cry.
From the time they met until now, she had never revealed her vulnerability, as if there was nothing in the world she couldn't handle.
She was so proud and aloof, but now she cried like a child.
"I haven't taken you on a trip abroad yet, nor have I introduced Ah Chen to you... How could you leave me like this?"
Ou Yan cried bitterly.
"Grandma, come back... There are still so many things we haven't done together..."
"You promised me you would live to be a hundred..."
"Grandma, it's all my fault..."
Si Yechen, seeing her begin to blame herself, walked over and gently hugged her.
"You've done everything you could."
At least in Si Yechen's eyes, from the early hours of the morning until past one in the afternoon, she had done her best to save someone.
If there was any way, she wouldn't let the old lady leave her hands...
Ou Yan felt particularly sad and guilty, "I'm Bai He, but I couldn't save her... How could this happen... Why couldn't I save her..."
Si Yechen hugged her, his eyes reddening. He understood how important the old lady was to Ou Yan, and he understood the girl's feelings at this moment.
"It's not your fault. You've done your best... Let it out if you're sad. I'm here."
"I couldn't save her, Ah Chen, I couldn't save her..."
Ou Yan lowered her head, as if reality had crushed her, holding the old lady's body and crying in pain.
Back when she was studying medicine, she had promised Grandma Bai that she would guard her health for the rest of her life!
She even promised Grandma Bai in front of her that she would live to be a hundred, because there was no surgery in the world that she couldn't perform.
But now, her heart ruptured, and the person was gone before her eyes!
The world knew that Bai He was formidable, with exquisite medical skills, but the world didn't know that there were people whom Bai He couldn't save!
