Chapter 310: After breaking off the engagement Mr. Si chased his wife to the crematorium!
Chapter 310: Don't Soil Grandma's Grave
Someone brought the prepared paper mansions, paper clothes, paper money, and other items to Ou Yan's side.
All the items piled up together resembled a small mountain.
Ou Yan personally lit the fire, hearing that this custom could ensure that the deceased would have a house and money in heaven and on earth, living a good life.
After burning the offerings, Ou Yan brought out the things she had prepared herself.
"These are famous tourist attractions abroad. I originally wanted to take you out to play. With Grandpa accompanying you from now on, the two of you can go wherever you want. I've already drawn up the itinerary for you as a reference."
Ou Yan burned the items for them, "Also, these are the medicine pouches I made for you on your birthday. Even in heaven, you should sleep well."
The medicine pouch bag was embroidered with Li Yue'e's favorite mandarin ducks. Watching the mandarin ducks burn slowly in the fire, Ou Yan felt a sourness in her nose.
Enduring the pain, she put the Chinese medicine pouch, massager, and the scarf Grandpa had personally knitted for Grandma into the fire.
The instruments like the massager caused small explosions as they burned, making the flames even more splendid.
Just then, a figure rushed over, shouting in sorrow, "Grandma, I can't bear to part with you..."
Hearing this voice, Ou Yan's eyes filled with displeasure as she looked towards the subordinate guarding the gate.
The subordinate, just infected by the boss's sadness a moment ago, was absent-minded and didn't expect Bai Muyao to slip in.
Bai Muyao wanted to rush to the tombstone to cry out loud but was blocked by Ou Yan. "Don't soil grandma's grave."
"Ou Yan, after all, I'm Grandma's granddaughter. You held the funeral without inviting me or notifying my parents. All the relatives and friends of the Bai family were invited by you, but our family of three wasn't! You..."
Bai Muyao's words were interrupted by Ou Yan's cold voice, "Did Grandma recognize you as her granddaughter? Do you have even a drop of Bai family blood? How did Grandma die? Do you want everyone here to tell you?"
Bai Muyao didn't expect Ou Yan to embarrass her publicly. Gritting her teeth, she said, "I called her Grandma. In my heart, I already regarded her as Grandma... I know my mom is responsible for Grandma's death. I came today to apologize on behalf of my mom and send Grandma off..."
"Throw her out." Ou Yan didn't want to see her or hear her nonsense.
Two subordinates immediately stepped forward, holding Bai Muyao's arms.
Other guests condemned her shamelessness. Li Yue'e had been buried, yet she didn't allow her to pay her respects.
"I really want to send Grandma off... Let go of me, Ou Yan. My mom did make mistakes, but can't you let them off for the sake of past relationships?"
So, this was her purpose in coming here today!
Before Ou Yan could get angry...
"Get out—" Li Yue'e's former close friend, Grandma Li, was so angry that she grabbed a paper cup and splashed the water inside on Bai Muyao.
If it weren't for the people who attended the engagement banquet telling her about the incident, she would never have imagined that Li Yue'e death was actually related to Bai Muyao's family of three! It was their repeated attempts to get shares and savings from Li Yue'e, it was Xu Aiqin who hit Li Yue'e, tortured her, causing her heart attack and heart rupture...
Now this little girl still had the nerve to attend the funeral and ask Ou Yan to spare her parents?
Bai Muyao originally planned to cry and plead in front of Grandma's grave, trying to play on Ou Yan's emotions, hoping that with the help of other relatives, Ou Yan would let go of Bai Zhenhai and Xu Aiqin...
Unexpectedly, all the guests condemned and scolded her...
The two subordinates threw her out of the cemetery and beat her up. Her injuries worsened, and she was miserable...
Ou Yan's gaze returned to the photo on the tombstone, the displeasure gradually dissipating, leaving only deep sorrow and reluctance.
"Relatives pay respects, may the deceased rest in peace..." the funeral host said in a mournful voice.
Ou Yan stood at the forefront, leading all the guests in bowing and paying respects.
"After the funeral, the family expresses gratitude..." Ou Yan turned around and bowed to the departing guests one by one.
All the guests were taken to the nearest restaurant of the Li family for the funeral feast, as was the custom.
After the guests left, Ou Yan glanced back at the tombstone, unable to help herself, she walked over, knelt down, and gently touched the photo on top.
The photo was taken by Li Yue'e several years ago, and Ou Yan had turned it into a black and white picture.
Time had not left any marks of hardship on the old lady's face, only gentleness and elegance between her eyebrows.
Ou Yan's emotions surged, almost overwhelming her strength several times.
She touched the photo gently and said, "Grandma, with Grandpa accompanying you in heaven, you shouldn't be lonely anymore. I will study medicine from now on to save more people. Please rest assured."
Just then, a person knelt down beside Ou Yan.
Ou Yan turned her head and saw the side profile of Si Yechen.
"Grandma, I haven't formally introduced myself yet. My name is Si Yechen, Yan Yan's fiancé."
Ou Yan didn't expect him to stay. She looked back at the tombstone and said gently, "Grandma, this is Si Yechen I mentioned to you before. He's very good to me."
"Grandma, Yan Yan is entrusted to me. Please rest assured. In this life, I will take care of her, protect her, and cherish her. My grandpa also likes her very much. She's the daughter-in-law recognized by our Si family. She won't be wronged in our family."
When Si Yechen finished speaking, he held Ou Yan's hand. "Shall we bow to Grandma together?"
"Okay."
Ou Yan and he bowed together, then rose and said in unison, "Grandma, have a safe journey."
As they walked out of the cemetery, they saw an old figure still standing outside the railing, looking in the direction of the tombstone, unwilling to leave.
"Grandpa Yan, are you still here?" Ou Yan approached and found that Yan Bingsong's eyes were already red.
"I... I'll wait a little longer..." Yan Bingsong said, his voice choked up, tightly gripping the tissue in his hand. After wiping away his tears, he said in despair, "You go and entertain the guests first. I'll be there in a moment..."
Ou Yan nodded, "Take care."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Yan Bingsong's assistant and said, "Take good care of Grandpa."
"Yes, Miss Ou Yan."
Si Yechen escorted Ou Yan into the car and looked back at Yan Bingsong. He was hunched over, as if Grandma Bai's departure had become the last straw to crush him.
His figure looked so helpless and desolate.
Thinking of the day Grandma Bai left, Yan Bingsong cried uncontrollably in the hospital, that was definitely not just because of the emotions between good friends.
Could it be that Grandpa Yan had feelings for Grandma Bai? Or a hidden love?
Thinking like this, after getting in the car, Si Yechen said to Ou Yan, "Grandpa Yan looks very sad. Between him and Grandma..."
"They were once a couple separated by force."
As expected, it was just as Si Yechen guessed.
