Marriage is too late

Chapter 84

"I can't accept it." Ji Jin flatly refused.

"Why?" Han Yi asked.

"It's grandma's heirloom, it's not suitable for me to collect." What Ji Jin didn't say was that it was what grandma wanted to leave to his granddaughter-in-law, so how could I collect it on her behalf.

Han Yi lowered his head: "You're still blaming me, right? Because I broke the ring." God knows how regretful he is.If it wasn't for the worst state and the worst timing at that time, how could he have misunderstood her.

"No." Ji Jin was very embarrassed, the ring just froze in Han Yi's hand.Fortunately, there was a phone call to rescue in time.

When Ji Jin heard the phone ringing, he let out a long sigh of relief.It was Lin Xuxing who called. Ji Jin looked downstairs in confusion, and found that Lin Xuxing beside the greenhouse in the distance had disappeared.There was a hint of anxiety in his voice: "Ji Jin, I don't have time for you to reminisce about the past, we are leaving for the hospital now."

Ji Jin's face darkened, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Grandpa's condition worsened suddenly, we have to rush to the hospital immediately." Lin Xuxing was panting in his words, as if he was running.

In the next second, Ji Jin turned around, and Lin Xuxing was beside her, holding the phone, breathing rapidly, but only looking at Han Yi: "Sorry, Mr. Han, we are in a hurry, you can talk about it another day."

Ji Jin hurriedly hugged him: "Which hospital? What's the situation?" She just nodded hurriedly at Han Yi, and Lin Xuxing held her arm, and hurriedly left the coffee shop.

Han Yi didn't even have time to say goodbye.

He looked at the backs of the two of them walking away from a distance, his eyes slid back and fell on the table in front of him, the delicate rose, with water drops, was still fresh and strong, but was discarded and forgotten on the table ,Nobody cares.Just like Han Yi's love that waits in place, no matter how sincere and fierce it is, it will eventually be abandoned like a shoe.

When Lin Xuxing and Ji Jin arrived at the hospital, a huge crowd had already gathered in the corridor, densely packed and standing in place, like a huge flock of crows, silent.

Seeing that everyone was wearing dark or black clothes, Lin Xuxing's heart sank.

The first person to come up was his father, Lin Yiran, and said in a low voice, "Go in and have a last look at your grandpa."

Ji Jin obviously felt Lin Xuxing hold her hand, twitched, and then returned to calm.She calmly supported Lin Xuxing, and walked into the ward with him.

There were quite a few people in the room, all of them were close relatives. The eldest aunt was sitting at the foot of the bed, her eyes were red and bloodshot.

The window was open in the room, and the sunlight came in from the side window. There was a pot of golden-rimmed daphne in the room, which infused the room with a faint fragrance, and diluted the pungent disinfectant smell.

Even with such careful arrangements, it could not conceal the gloomy atmosphere in the ward.

Grandpa is getting old, knowing that everyone cannot escape the cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death, but such a moment still makes people heartbroken and hard to let go.

Grandpa was still awake, looking eagerly for Lin Xuxing in the crowd.Lin Xuxing rushed over, and Grandpa held his hand, which was old and weak, wet and slippery with a little sweat, as cold as if there was no warmth.

Old man Lin Ju'an said, "You have to live well." Lin Xuxing nodded.

Lin Juan turned his head and stretched out his hand towards Ji Jin, and Ji Jin quickly moved towards him.Grandpa continued: "You stay with him well."

Ji Jin hurriedly nodded, and replied softly, "I will."

Mr. Lin Ju'an seemed to be relieved now, and slowly said to everyone in the room: "I will be gone when I'm gone. Finally, it's time to accompany Xi'an. I, the descendants of the Lin family, must be stable in life and do things in a down-to-earth manner." The voice was lifeless. "Xian" is Lin Xuxing's grandma's small characters.

There were echoes in the ward.

The old man closed his eyes tiredly, this was the last time he was awake.He continued to have a fever, gasped with difficulty, and gradually developed a heavy grunt in his lungs, followed by occasional groans. The old man who had been suffering from illnesses for many years finally passed away forever that night.

It was a starless and moonless night, when the darkness of the night was at its thickest, Mr. Lin Ju'an finally finished his glamorous life.When the doctor regretfully announced the time of death, there was a burst of crying in the ward.

Ji Jin felt cold. It was the first time for her to watch someone die like this. Every minute was a torment for the patients and their families. Loss, pain, torment... were all displayed on his face.Even the most playful and cynical little uncle was standing in the corner at the moment, his hair disheveled, his face pale and tearful.Who can lose a loved one without pain.

However, no matter how long the bitter cry is, there will always be a moment when it ends, and arranging the funeral is the most urgent task at the moment.After everyone hastily arranged other matters in the hospital, Lin's relatives drove back to the Lin family's mansion again to discuss the follow-up arduous matters.

Everyone in the living room was exhausted. After staying up late and waiting for a long time, coupled with the heavy blow of Mr. Lin Juan's death, everyone looked miserable and haggard.

"I think the funeral will be in three days." Grandpa's eldest son, third uncle Lin Yiquan came out to preside over the overall situation.

In this mournful and solemn atmosphere, Lin Xuxing suddenly uttered a disharmonious sentence: "I request an autopsy for grandpa."

Everyone was shocked!

Ji Jin was also at a loss, she knew that today Lin Xuxing was locked in the office with his grandfather's attending doctor while waiting, and had a long conversation, but she didn't know what they talked about.

Father Lin Yiran was the first to stand up and get angry: "What nonsense!"

Lin Xuxing's face was still sad, but he did not give in weakly. He said quietly: "Grandpa was safe and normal until yesterday. Today, he suddenly deteriorated to this state. I have some doubts."

"Doubtful!?" The third uncle Lin Yiquan gave a heavy meal, "Please speak clearly."

"I talked to the doctor. I don't think Grandpa's death was a natural death. I can only rest assured after an autopsy." Lin Xuxing still insisted.

Recently, the elder aunt Lin Yanxing was responsible for taking care of and taking medicines for her grandfather. Lin Xuxing's words made her face pale, filled with grief and indignation: "You doubt me..."

"Of course not, Eldest Aunt, of course it wasn't you." Lin Xuxing eagerly expressed his thoughts to Lin Yanxing, "If there is, someone else must have done it."

"But this house is full of relatives." Lin Yanxing looked at him blankly, "You mean..." Her eyes swept over one by one under the pale light, and the half-sentence she didn't say was too much. Terrible, she froze in place without making a sound.

"Yes, I mean, I suspect that there is a murderer under this roof, among us!" Lin Xuxing said slowly, looking around the audience, as if no one was spared.Although his voice was slow, it was full of pain.

A dead silence.

"Show evidence, or I will not agree." The third uncle Lin Yiquan, as the person in charge of the overall situation, said with great dignity, "I can't let you do such an outrageous thing just because of your casual words."

According to the traditional Chinese concept, it is a very disgraceful thing to desecrate a dead body and not be able to rest in the ground. The resistance here can be imagined.

"Symptoms!" Lin Xuxing explained calmly, "Grandpa does have many diseases. The malignant tumor is at the end stage, and with the influence of chemotherapy and surgery, any symptoms are not surprising, but today's sudden aggravation is unreasonable. And he died suddenly. He came with a fever and vomiting, none of which corresponded to the symptoms of his recent medication, I talked to his attending doctor today, and he said that the possibility of poisoning could not be ruled out."

"Maybe it's just that the time limit has come." Lin Yiquan pointed out calmly.

"Of course, maybe." Lin Xuxing did not back down, "Maybe there is something else hidden. Uncle Third, do you really want to let this matter go without asking for evidence? What if you just let the murderer of Grandpa go? "

Every word is heartbreaking!

Lin Xuxing looked around at the people in the hall, and paused for a longer time on the faces of some people.But no one dared to express any dissent.

Agree, it seems disrespectful, against, it seems even more disrespectful.

The third uncle, Lin Yiquan, was stunned for a long time without speaking, he hesitated to speak a few times, and his heart was also extremely entangled.

Lin Xuxing gave him a big step down. He had already obtained the judgment he wanted, and he was ready to exert enough pressure: "Third uncle, don't worry. Worried that the matter of Grandpa will disappear, I have called the police, and as we speak, a forensic autopsy should be underway."

No one spoke, but the various faces seemed to indicate that this was not news that one could breathe a sigh of relief.

Father Lin stood up resolutely: "What nonsense!" After a heavy pause, he turned his head and left the living room.

Everyone scattered like birds and beasts. The exhaustion of this long night has pulled everyone's nerves to an extreme. No one has the energy to continue this dangerous topic.

Ji Jin followed Lin Xuxing back to the room, his mind was in a mess.

Lin Xuxing hugged her into his arms, buried his head deeply in her neck, and murmured: "I don't know whether what I did was right or wrong."

In front of others, he can be strong and courageous. Only when facing his own emptiness and powerlessness, is he afraid of whether he has made a decision to fight for it.

Ji Jin asked him softly: "Did we not take good care of grandpa? Let your mother's tragedy repeat itself on him?"

In a word, the empty room is like falling into an ice cellar.

Time and space flow, and after many years, death is still a game that can be played in the eyes of people who ignore the rules, and it plays an important role in the competition for interests.

"I don't know." Lin Xuxing's voice was full of confusion. "Is it because I didn't warn everyone? Even if it's just a horrible guess?"
