Chapter 1226: Buried Together! (3)

Su Cunyi’s hand on the bedside paused.

He wanted to say something, but his daughter’s serious expression at the moment made him feel an inexplicable emotion.

Su Ji enunciated each word clearly. “If you want to prove it to her, then you should be buried with her so that she won’t be lonely.”

The blanket was crumpled in her hands.

In ancient times, burial was the highest form of loyalty, because to everyone, nothing was more precious than their own lives.

When the emperor died, he would choose a few concubines to be buried with him, although none of those women were willing.

However, in that life, there was indeed someone who volunteered to be buried with Su Ji.

Su Cunyi suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and took a deep breath. “Su Ji, what are you talking about? Your mother is fine. Why would you say such unlucky things?”

Su Ji was stunned for a moment, as if she was pulled back by her words.

She pursed her lips and said that she was a little tired. She asked Su Cunyi to go out first.

Su Cunyi said a few words to Pei Huai outside the door before leaving worriedly.

He didn’t look at his grandchildren again. His daughter’s words made him feel uneasy.

It was not until he drove away that he understood where that uneasiness came from.

His daughter clearly knew that the lady he was referring to was Xu Mingzhi, but she said that he should be buried with her.

Her daughter might say something unorthodox, but no matter what, she would never joke about her mother’s health…

Su Ji sat silently on the big bed, her lips pursed as she looked out the window. Her bloodshot eyes were filled with distant thoughts.

Su Cunyi was right. What was she doing? Had she accepted her fate? Was she already thinking about burying her mother?

No.

Absolutely not…

Pei Huai had been standing outside the door, looking at his wife. Su Cunyi had left, but he did not go in immediately.

After a long time, just as Su Ji made a decision, he sent a message on his phone with one hand.

[ “Arrange for a private jet to depart tomorrow morning.” ]

The next day was the day Xu Mingzhi came to her daughter to get her pulse checked.

She knew that her daughter was persistent. She packed up in the morning, put on makeup, and went straight to the Pei family.

For safety’s sake, she didn’t drive herself. Wei Wei drove, and she sat in the backseat. Her coughing didn’t stop from the moment she got into the car.

Wei Wei adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner several times and looked at the rearview mirror with a worried expression. “Director Xu, let Miss Su take a look at you. Don’t worry about the company’s matters. You have been quite sick…”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Xu Mingzhi shot a look back at her. Although she did not look good, her aura did not diminish. Wei Wei pursed her lips and held the steering wheel in her hand. She wanted to say something but hesitated. She remembered the call she received this morning and made up her mind…

When the car arrived at Pei’s house, Du Meilan warmly welcomed her.

Xu Mingzhi couldn’t suppress her cough, but she assured Du Meilan. “I’ve checked. This cold isn’t viral. It won’t spread to the children.”

Du Meilan was stunned for a moment before her expression changed. “It’s alright. I just feel that you don’t look too good…”

Not to mention her, even Aunt Wu had not seen her for a while. She was shocked when she saw her today.

If it weren’t for Madam Du, she would have asked her about the situation immediately.

Seeing the expressions on these people’s faces, Xu Mingzhi became calm.

She thought back to ten days ago. As long as she put on makeup and did not cough, no one would be able to tell that she looked bad except for her daughter and son-in-law who knew medicine.

However, it had only been ten days and it had already become like this. She was afraid…

Thinking of this, she looked around but did not see her daughter or son-in-law.

Usually, when she came to the Pei family, the first thing she would do would be to look for her precious daughter.

But today, Du Meilan did not mention it, so she did not ask. She took advantage of this time…

“By the way…cough, have those two little fellows woken up?” she asked excitedly.

“They’re awake, they’re awake.” Du Meilan quickly asked Aunt Wu to bring the two babies over.

Aunt Wu left. Not long after, the little babies saw their grandmother.

The brother and sister were especially close to their grandmother, and Xu Mingzhi couldn’t stop crying when she saw them.

On the other side, Xu Mingzhi was coaxed by the little babies until she was in no mood to think about anything else. Behind her, Du Meilan sent a message to her youngest son and daughter-in-law who had already set off…
