Chapter 1096: Little Qi’s Side 83
Everything inside had the old lady’s aura.
He Yanzhi stood in the room, tidying up everything. His hands did not stop, his back emiting loneliness.
Because he always thought that he was the one who killed the old lady.
Had he not gone to Brother Nan to make a deal, everything would not have happened.
Auntie Hong wouldn’t have died, Grandma wouldn’t have died, and his family wouldn’t have left him one by one.
As he thought of this, his right fist clenched. The old lady’s brooch in his palm pierced him, and blood flowed down.
Seeing this, Little Qi quickly walked up and raised her right hand to stop him. “Let go. Don’t you want your hand anymore?”
“I don’t want it anymore.” He Yanzhi unclenched his right hand and looked at the blood-stained brooch in his palm. “Because Grandma died because of me.”
“Grandma never blamed you. She was worried about you until the day she died. If you still have the heart, send Grandma on her last journey.” Little Qi’s eyes were red as she removed the brooch from He Yanzhi’s palm.
He Yanzhi did not say anything. He only looked at Little Qi with his red eyes.
“I’ll go get the medicine box.”
He Yanzhi still did not answer. He used his left hand to pull Little Qi into his arms.
“Don’t leave me… Xiao Wan, you’re all I have left.”
Little Qi knew what He Yanzhi felt then was abandonment. He did not feel any sense of security. No words of comfort could make him relax.
Therefore, Little Qi just patted his back and said, “I’m not going anywhere. I’m right in front of you.”
Then, Little Qi went to get the medical kit. However, They were just about to finish bandaging when a knock came on the door. “Brother He, Sister-in-law, it’s time.”
“Coming.” Little Qi quickly took out gauze and carefully bandaged He Yanzhi.
He Yanzhi looked at his palm that was wrapped in gauze and then at the back of his right hand. If Xiao Wan had been here earlier, there might not be such an ugly scar.
“Let’s go.” Little Qi stood up and said to He Yanzhi, “Don’t let Grandma wait too long.”
The funeral ceremony of the old lady was very simple. Other than them, the rest were all He Yanzhi’s subordinates.
A group of people dressed in black with white flowers sent the old lady off.
On that day, Little Qi did not go to school.
After the funeral of the old lady, she stood behind He Yanzhi and accompanied him from afar. It was not until the evening when rain suddenly fell that He Yanzhi turned around and took Little Qi away from Grandma’s grave.
“At least she got the answer she wanted. Xiao Wan, Grandma left without a care in the world, didn’t she?”
Little Qi leaned against He Yanzhi’s chest, her face covered in cold, wet rain. “Of course.”
“Let’s go home.” After saying that, He Yanzhi held Little Qi and walked out of the cemetery.
Outside the door, Zhi Chu was standing by the car. When he saw the two of them coming, he quickly opened the car door. “Brother He, are you going home?”
“No, not going home. We’re going to a nearby hotel,” Little Qi said to Zhi Chu.
This was because she knew that if He Yanzhi returned home, he would definitely be affected by it again.
“Then, let’s go to the hotel on our territory.” After he said that, Zhi Chu started the car on a rainy night.
Very soon, they entered the hotel.
Zhi Chu helped the two of them get a suite before he was ready to leave. “Sister-in-law, you have my number. If you have anything, just remember to look for me.”
Little Qi looked at He Yanzhi who had silently entered the room and nodded. “You should go and rest.”
Zhi Chu left obediently, and Little Qi closed the door as well.
