206 Bear My Children (1/2)

Wen Xuxu opened her eyes and looked over. Mu Li stood below the staircase wearing a black dress, looking up at her with her head raised.

Within a span of a few days, this elegant and beautiful-looking Aunt Mu seemed to have rapidly aged.

Feeling guilty, Xuxu cried hard. ”Sob...”

She buried her head between her legs, completely unable to accept the truth of Grandmother's demise.

It had happened too unexpectedly, and it was all because of her. It was utterly impossible for her to allay her guilt.

”Xuxu, don't cry anymore.” Mu Li went upstairs and sat beside Xuxu. Feeling sorry for her, she gave her a hug. ”Grandmother doted on you the most. If she saw you in this state, she'd be heartbroken.”

As she said this, tears also fell down her cheeks.

She had always been proud of her mother-in-law, Wang Daqin.

Not only was she a successful career woman in the corporate world, but she was also a virtuous mother-in-law who had built a harmonious household.

Two sons, two daughters-in-law, and three grandchildren. Yet, there were no tussles among the family members nor did any of them vie for power and inheritance.

Choking with emotions, Xuxu shook her head. ”Grandmother is gone. I'm the cause of her death.”

”Accidents are always unexpected. Don't reproach yourself.” Mu Li wept and said, ”You've always been a filial child. In the future, lead a happy life with Xiaosheng.”

Now that the two children were finally together, the old lady should have passed on with no regrets.

However, having come together this way, she couldn't help but worry about their marriage life ahead.

”Aunt Mu Li!” Xuxu buried her head in Mu Li's bosom and wailed.

Back then, when her parents had suddenly passed away, she was still ignorant about human relations and the ways of the world. But now, she was well aware of the pain and grief one felt when a close family member departed.
