Chapter 497: The Story Behind the Jade Bracelet (3)
Chapter 497 The story behind the jade bracelet (III)
After Mrs. Zhan woke up, she was very excited to see the jade bracelet. She trembled and stretched out her old hand and gently stroked the jade bracelet. Just like when she first saw the jade bracelet more than 60 years ago, she was excited.
The jade bracelet is still as smooth and cool as before, but the hand that caresses it is no longer as delicate as jade as before.
"Grandma, I'll get the jade bracelet you want for you." Zhan Hanjue whispered.
Old Mrs. Zhan nodded, tears flashing in her eyes, and she sighed softly.
It seemed as if I had a look back, and I had the strength to speak. I slowly told Zhan Hanjue and Ye Ninghuan: "This is the token of love given to me by my first love, and it is also the heirloom of their family. He gave it to me as a token of love between us. Unfortunately, I failed his love and married someone else, and could only return the jade bracelet to him. I know that he was unmarried all his life just to keep his promises back then. He said that he would only marry me in his life. However, because of my family, I had to marry your grandfather. I failed him in this life."
"He certainly did not resent his grandmother, otherwise he would not have kept his promises for the rest of his life." Ye Ninghua comforted.
Old Mrs. Zhan smiled bitterly and said slowly: "At the beginning, my father found out that our relationship was very angry. How could a man with a decline in his family be worthy of my identity? But my father was very smart and did not directly look for him and let him leave me, but threatened me with him. If I promised to marry your grandfather, my father would chop off one of his hands and make him never paint. I knew that painting was his dream. If this dream was shattered, he would live a life worse than death. Then I left him cruelly and returned this token of love to him, and from then on, we would not owe each other.
I thought that after so many years, he would gradually let go of this relationship. I dare not ask about it until I accidentally heard that he had never married and was lonely forever. At that moment, my life was worse than death. In fact, life has no meaning to me, but I don’t have the courage to end, afraid that he will be angry with me. So, now my deadline is approaching, don’t be sad, this is what I hope for. Han Jue, especially you, don’t be sad for me, sad, this is the world of teachers. Grandma is very happy and can finally see him."
"grandmother……"
Zhan Hanjue held her hand.
Old Mrs. Zhan said weakly again: "Although my life is not perfect, it is still considered happy after all. Especially with two children of you and your father, it is the greatest satisfaction in my life. I am worthy of his grandfather. Whether it is to regard his daughter as his own, or to raise you and your father to protect the family business of the Zhan family, I am worthy of him and the Zhan family. The only thing I am sorry for is Bai Yunshen, so grandma has a plea, hoping that after I leave, you can bury me and Bai Yunshen together. I know that after he died, he was buried in Xishan. You are the place where I first date with him, and there are our wonderful memories. I hope that after I die, you can bury me there. Maybe the people in the family and your aunt will not agree. Han Jue, I hope you can help grandma."
"Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely get your wish." Zhan Hanjue assured her.
Old Mrs. Zhan finally smiled with satisfaction and slowly closed her eyes.
She walked peacefully.
Before leaving, I was sober and could explain my future lives well.
The moment Zhan Hanjue saw his grandmother close his eyes, his heart was empty for a moment, as if it had been hollowed out.
But when I think of what my grandmother said, don’t be sad, don’t be sad, I dare not cry.
He just leaned against the bed weakly for a while, staring in one direction without any energy.
Ye Ninghuan also sat beside him and gently placed his hand on his shoulder.
She said nothing.
There was no comfort or advice, but just quietly accompanying him.
Let the time pass, let the sunset set.
After a long time, Zhan Hanjue finally came to his senses, took a deep breath and stood up, facing Butler Wu outside the door, instructed: "Notify the families that the old lady is leaving."
"Yes, sir." Butler Wu changed from the title of eldest son to sir.
From then on, he was no longer the eldest master of the Zhan family, but only a gentleman.
Zhan Hanjue closed his eyes and held Ye Ning's hand tightly.
When the old lady Zhan passed away, the family and other relatives and friends of the Zhan family came to pay their respects, so that Zhan Hanjue could mourn.
Zhan Hanjue set up the old lady's backyard into a mourning hall, and some old people from the Zhan family and the old lady's mother-in-law came to discuss the funeral.
The funeral is naturally held to be held in a grand manner. Death at this age is also considered a joyful delight.
Zhan Hanjue agreed to the requests they made, and there was no objection to this.
However, Zhan Hanjue's proposal to bury old lady Zhan on the western mountain was strongly opposed by the Zhan family.
"Your grandpa is in the cemetery, and the cemetery he chose was also a double cemetery. How could you bury the old lady in the West Mountain? Your grandparents have been loving all their lives. If you die, you still want to separate them?"
"This is grandma's fate..."
"Uncle is right. I just saw the scenery of the West Mountain before, so I had this idea. I originally thought that I would move my grandfather to the West Mountain and still have to be buried with my grandmother." Zhan Hanjue was about to explain, but was gently interrupted by Ye Ninghuan.
After interrupting, she winked at Zhan Hanjue and shook her head slightly.
When the head of the Zhan family heard this, he was a little calmer, but he still said, "Your grandfather has been dead for so many years and has been used to lying in the original cemetery. In recent years, our Zhan family has been booming, especially the Zhan family group, which is even more powerful and has an unlimited future. This is all blessed by our ancestors, and it is your grandfather who has a spirit in heaven to bless you. Therefore, don't touch his place. The cemetery is a double tomb, and you can just bury it directly, so you can save a lot of worry."
"What you said makes sense, let's consider this matter again." Ye Ninghuan said.
When the uncles and uncles went to rest, Zhan Hanjue frowned and asked Ye Ninghuan: "Why should I stop my explanation? If I promised my grandma this matter, it would be impossible to disappoint my grandma. They disagree that it is useless, and I will definitely not let my grandma leave regrets."
"I know, you can't let grandma down. You will definitely do what you promised grandma. However, there is no need to make a fuss with the elders of our family." Ye Ninghuan said.
"What do you mean?" Zhan Hanjue frowned.
Ye Ninghuan said, "You forgot that grandpa is not without his favorite person. Mrs. Leng's mother has long passed away, but she has been buried outside."
As soon as she reminded him, Zhan Hanjue remembered.
Indeed, the man who had been buried outside was also because of this. My aunt and grandma had a dispute at the beginning, but was rejected by other people in the Zhan family, so my aunt was even more resentful to her.
