Chapter 348 I Don't Want Chu Xiao to Regret It in the Future
Night fell over Fu Garden.
An Xiaoyue lay in bed, the moonlight not very bright, and she stared blankly at the ceiling by the moonlight.
As soon as it was light, Uncle Chu was to take a private plane to Switzerland.
When we met again, all that remained were ashes, devoid of any warmth.
Thinking about all this, An Xiaoyue couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
Fu Shengyang wasn't in much better shape; he lay there with his eyes open, waiting for dawn.
Uncle Chu forbade them from seeing her off at the airport, and even Aunt Wei was forbidden from doing so.
They could only endure it bit by bit, until the plane took off, until Uncle Chu returned in another way.
Their hands were clasped together under the covers, and neither of them spoke.
Time flows in the silent moonlight.
The sound of the phone vibrating seemed particularly abrupt.
They both turned to look at each other.
Fu Shengyang got up and turned on the night light in the room, while An Xiaoyue picked up her phone.
"It's Hua Lan's phone call."
For Hua Lan to call so late, it must be something very important.
"Answer it quickly." Fu Shengyang also came over. "Maybe Chu Xiao has changed his mind."
Unable to contain their joy, the two answered Hua Lan's call together.
"Hualan, I am Xiaoyue."
To everyone's surprise, what came through the phone was Hua Lan's apology.
She spoke urgently, "Xiaoyue, what happened to Uncle Chu? Why did he choose euthanasia?"
An Xiaoyue was stunned. It wasn't that Brother Chu had changed his mind; it was that Hua Lan had found out.
"Where did you find out?" she asked.
“I saw Chu Xiao’s search history on his computer, and considering your recent state, I guessed that Uncle Chu wanted to have euthanasia.”
Hua Lan knew this herself, and An Xiaoyue couldn't help but hesitate.
The current situation of the Chu family should be told to Hua Lan by Chu Xiao himself.
Hua Lan also guessed why she wasn't speaking, and said directly:
“Xiaoyue, tell me the truth. No matter what state their father-son relationship has reached, they are still the same blood. I don’t want Chu Xiao to regret the decision he made in the future. Their relationship is not as irreconcilable as it seems to outsiders. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been browsing euthanasia-related terms in his study after returning home.”
Hua Lan has already gone this far.
An Xiaoyue glanced at Fu Shengyang again; the two of them knew that there was no point in keeping this a secret any longer.
Even if they don't say anything, Hua Lan will still ask Chu Xiao for clarification.
Rather than that, she should say it, so as to avoid any unpleasantness between Chu Xiao and Hua Lan.
An Xiaoyue then told Hua Lan the whole story about Chu Jinhuai's illness, without embellishment.
She remained silent for a long time after she finished speaking.
Did the call get disconnected?
An Xiaoyue looked at her phone with a puzzled expression.
The call is currently in progress...
"Hualan, are you alright?"
"It's alright." Hua Lan's voice was clearly choked with sobs.
An Xiaoyue sensed that something was wrong.
The phone call has been going on for so long, why isn't there any other sound?
If Hua Lan were at home, Brother Chu would definitely have heard her.
An Xiaoyue immediately became anxious, "Hua Lan, where are you? Why is there no sound around?"
Upon hearing An Xiaoyue's words, Fu Shengyang also became wary, took out his phone, and prepared to call Chu Xiao.
"It's okay, I'm downstairs in the apartment complex."
Hua Lan didn't want Xiao Yue to worry about her, and the apartment complex was right downstairs.
"I know about Uncle Chu's situation, I'm going home now."
"It's getting late, it's not safe outside, and it's cold. Go home quickly, or you'll catch a cold. Call me if anything happens," An Xiaoyue urged.
"Okay. I have nothing else to ask you, I'm hanging up now."
"Message me when you get home, and contact me anytime if you need anything."
After hanging up the phone, An Xiaoyue put it down listlessly.
"I was very anxious, and I had a feeling that something bad was going to happen."
Fu Shengyang rubbed her hand, pulled her into his arms, and coaxed her gently, "Since Hua Lan knows everything, it's not necessarily a bad thing. She holds a lot of importance in Chu Xiao's heart, and Chu Xiao will listen to her."
I had given up hope on this matter, but now there's suddenly a turning point.
An Xiaoyue couldn't help but feel hopeful, "Just like Hua Lan said, let's leave no regrets and have no remorse. Even just meeting once would be good."
Fu Shengyang kissed her forehead and said with satisfaction, "That's the right way to think."
An Xiaoyue nestled against his chest, listening to his strong and powerful heartbeat, and couldn't help but think to herself.
If Sheng Yang knew that his grandfather donated incense to Baoguang Temple, where his father was studying, every year, what would his reaction be?
She only dared to think about it, but didn't dare to actually say it out loud.
Things are already messy enough; she doesn't want to add another problem.
Let's put the matter of Father Fu Yixiu on hold for now.
Just as An Xiaoyue was coaxed into lying down by Fu Shengyang, Hua Lan called again.
"So fast?" The couple looked at each other in surprise and sat up together.
An Xiaoyue answered the phone quickly, "Hua Lan, what's wrong?"
"Xiaoyue, I've been thinking about it, can you help me..."
Hua Lan's tone was excited, indicating that she had made a very difficult decision.
In her entire life, apart from confessing her feelings to Chu Xiao, she had never made such an impulsive decision.
Hua Lan's words were incoherent, but An Xiaoyue understood what she meant.
She said, "Sheng Yang will arrange the flower orchid. He will send you the specific information to your phone after the arrangements are made."
The phone call ended again, and a transfer notification followed.
An Xiaoyue looked at the amount; this must be Hua Lan's private savings.
She clicked on the voice message from Hua Lan.
"Xiaoyue, this is all I have. I'll transfer it to you first. If it's not enough, please help me out, and I'll pay you back later."
An Xiaoyue replied, "We can talk about the money later. You should do what you want to do first. Go home quickly, or you won't be able to do anything if you have a cold."
She pressed the send button and then promptly refused to accept the money.
With tears in her eyes, Hua Lan said into the phone, "Xiao Yue, it's so good to have you by my side."
Hua Lan was very obedient. She wiped away her tears and walked towards the residential area.
As soon as she entered the residential area, she saw the lights swaying in the distance.
At first, Hua Lan thought they were security guards patrolling the community.
She didn't take it to heart, and simply moved aside to make way for them.
The other person came straight at her. She stood there warily, unsure whether to run or call for help.
As she got closer, she could see who it was.
Who else could it be but Chu Xiao, holding the night lantern in his hand?
"Why did you come down?" Hua Lan looked away, not daring to look Chu Xiao in the eye.
Chu Xiao stared at the top of her head for a few seconds before looking at her empty hands and asked knowingly, "Where are the sanitary napkins you bought?"
"The supermarket is closed, I...didn't buy anything." Hua Lan bit her lip.
Sure enough, one lie leads to countless more to cover it up.
