The Space-Time Boss: 1970s Revolution

chapter 134: Departure

"Mother, when you reach the other side, find Jing Shu and apologize to her. Don't be sad; you'll soon be able to join your two brothers. After spending so many years with you, they must be missing you too."

"And that child—please apologize on my behalf. I saw her at the Zhai family's that day..."

Old Mrs. Mu smiled weakly, gripping Mu Lianshen's hand. "She looks so much like you, but she's even cuter than you were as a child. Her face is much prettier than yours."

"Take good care of your father, and yourself too."

She glanced over at Old Mr. Mu and then back at Mu Lianshen, her tone light.

"Don't be too sad. I feel very at peace..."

Mu Lianshen could feel her grip weakening. He gritted his teeth, his voice hoarse, "Mother, don't worry."

Yang Cuiping's eyes were becoming more and more clouded. "I'll be able to see my other two children now. I wonder if they can take care of themselves down there..."

"They're still just children... They will surely miss their mother..."

Outside the hospital room, many people stood in silence...

Wei Xuezhe, with reddened eyes, asked the hospital director, "Is there really no other way?"

The director shook his head helplessly and sighed, "We've reached the point where there's nothing more we can do. The patient has lost the will to live, and there's only so much we doctors can do at this stage..."

Wei Xuezhe stood at the door, looking at Mu Lianshen inside the room. The once upright and strong man was now kneeling by the bedside with his head bowed...

Wei Xuezhe leaned against the wall and spoke softly to the nearby doctors, "Keep a close watch on this ward. Also, Old Mr. Mu isn't in the best health himself, so take extra care of him."

The doctors nodded in agreement.

Elsewhere, at the Zhai family home.

Fu Xiao, Shen Xingzhou, and Fu Yu were reading in the small courtyard.

Zhai Yumo, leading his secretary, entered and nodded to the three before walking into the study.

Inside, Zhai Jiu was organizing documents. Upon seeing Zhai Yumo, he took the documents from his secretary and waved him away before asking, "What's the matter?"

Zhai Yumo approached the desk and said with a smile, "Grandpa just came back from the hospital and mentioned that someone from the Mu family isn't doing well. He asked me to inform you..."

Zhai Jiu frowned and tapped the desk. "Old man really likes to meddle."

Wasn't this aimed at Fu Xiao?

Did he want this child to attend the funeral?

The old generation's thoughts were indeed intriguing.

Zhai Yumo's lips curved into a smile as he gently asked, "So, Ninth Uncle, would you like to let her know?"

Zhai Jiu pondered for a moment before responding, "It's fine to let her know..."

Zhai Yumo left the study to pass on the message.

But whether she would go or not was another matter entirely. The child was very principled and unlikely to go...

Zhai Jiu smiled slightly and resumed organizing his documents.
