1057 You Didnt Ask for My Permission Before Leaving (1/2)
Tang Mo'er and Tang Chenyi stood in the living room dressed in black. There was a crystal casket placed in front of them.
When both of them heard the commotion, they turned to look at the same time and they saw Lu Jinwen, who had rushed back.
Lu Jinwen was wearing a black cashmere sweater and tailored trousers. Although he was already in his fifties, he had aged to be even more handsome and refined.
As the years passed, his presence was almost non-existent, but at the same time, it was so strong that the moment he appeared, there would be an oppressive tension in the air.
Lu Jinwen's deep almond-shaped eyes gradually swept his children's faces and landed on the crystal casket.
He strode forward and stopped in front of the casket, in which fresh flowers and roses were scattered. Lin Xuanji was lying in the casket with her hair scattered about prettily, and she looked resplendent in her red gown.
She did not look her age at all. She was breathtakingly beautiful.
Lu Jinwen looked down at her and his thin lips curved gradually. ”Darling, why are you sleeping here? It's cold here, I'll carry you to the room.”
His deep voice was laced with tenderness, as if he was comforting a child in her sleep.
He stretched his hand out to carry her.
”Dad!” Tang Mo'er forcefully tugged on Lu Jinwen's sleeves and sobbed uncontrollably. ”Mom isn't… sleeping. Mom has… left. Mom… has left us…”
Lu Jinwen glanced sideways at Tang Mo'er and retracted his sleeve composedly. His voice was very calm and there was a threatening note of warning. ”Mo'er, don't spout such nonsense again. Your Mom has just undergone a heart transplant surgery and the surgery was very successful.”
”Dad, there was no heart transplant surgery. It was all… fake. It was merely a staged show. All of us… knew about it, except you…”
It was only a staged show…
All of us knew about it, except you…
Emotions swirled within Lu Jinwen's deep eyes as he clenched his fists tightly and his veins throbbed violently.
Gradually, his eyes turned bloodshot and his gaze slowly shifted to Lin Xuanji. He stretched his hand out and placed it under her nose…
There was no breath at all.
She was not breathing.
—- Lin Xuanji, she had left!
At first, one person had told him that, then many other people had told him that, and now the whole world was telling him, ”Lu Jinwen, she has gone!”
When you turned around last night, she collapsed.
When she said goodbye kiss, those were her parting words.
To her, it really was a goodbye kiss.
His mind was filled with the scene of her standing under the light of the corridor and sending him off. This scene gradually became black and white, losing all color.
Ha.
Lu Jinwen let out a low, hollow laugh.
Everyone heard that laugh.
They all looked up at Lu Jinwen. They had thought he would break down or go insane, but no one had imagined that he would actually laugh.
The bitter laughter that was forced out of his throat made one's hair stand on end, and everyone looked at him in fear and unease.
”Butler Ye,” Lu Jinwen said.
”Yes, Sir.” Butler Ye promptly stepped forward.
Lu Jinwen did not look back and merely said, ”Send off the guests.”
Tang Mo'er's eyes narrowed. ”Dad, you…”
”Sir, Elder Miss, Young Master, please leave now,” Butler Ye said.
