The happy life of a silly secretary

Chapter 158
Two months later, Zhang Xiaoxue no longer had morning sickness, and her belly grew bigger day by day. She could eat, sleep, and do some activities every day. She took her son to the park, basked in the sun, told her son a story, and read a book by herself.Liu Zizheng went home for dinner on time in the afternoon, and the family of three played for two hours before going to bed.The peaceful days lasted until one summer morning.

The ringtone of Liu Zizheng's mobile phone on the coffee table woke them up. It was already dawn, but it was only after 5 o'clock.After a phone call, Zhang Xiaoxue felt that there was something wrong with Liu Zizheng's expression.

"what's wrong?"

"Grandpa, it's gone." Liu Zizheng stared blankly at the front, and the phone slipped from his hand silently.

Zhang Xiaoxue's eyes also widened. If she could still feel a little bit of family affection in Liu's house, it would be this grandpa.She hugged the man from behind, and the two of them were silent for a long time, as if something condensed in the air, it was so oppressive that people couldn't breathe.

"Zizheng, let's go to Liu's house." Zhang Xiaoxue broke the silence, Liu Zizheng was completely immersed in sorrow now, but they still had to do what they should do.

Some relatives and friends had already gathered in the spacious living room of the Liu residence. Liu Guozhu paced back and forth in the room. This man who had always lived under the protection of his father had never experienced any major storms. Faced with this sudden change, his first Feeling helpless once, feeling bewildered and overwhelmed.He kept looking towards the door, hoping to see his son.When he saw his son leading his wife in, he felt relieved.

It was the first time Liu Zizheng faced the death of his relatives in a real sense. When his mother died, he was still too young to remember anything.Now, this old man who raised himself and handed over the company to him, just lay there quietly, with a peaceful face, but his face was sallow, and there was no warmth in his body.This old man who once gave him warmth and comfort just lay here coldly and left him forever.There was a blockage in his heart, his nose was sore, his eye circles were moist instantly, the woman beside him hugged him tightly, trying to give him warmth and strength, he suppressed the boundless loss and deep pain in his heart, and caressed the woman His long hair calmed his agitated heart.

Waking up in the morning, Lao Li helped the old man get up as usual, only to find that the old man's body was already cold. The old man must have passed away alone in the middle of the night. There was no expression of pain on his face, and he should have died peacefully.

Listening to Lao Li crying about what happened in the morning, Liu Zizheng regretted that he did not accompany him in the end, and did not give the old man too much time. He often took some time on weekends to bring his wife and son over, and left without even eating. up.The old man asked them to move back to Liu's house many times, but he didn't agree, and now...

The funeral company was quickly put in place, and the news of Liu Yuangen, the chairman of the Liu Group, passed away in the media, followed by various speculations about who the next chairman would be.

Liu Zizheng returned to his usual appearance, calm and always in control of the situation. He still had a calm and composed face, without excessive grief or obvious uneasiness.Now grandpa is lying in an ice coffin surrounded by flowers of various colors.The originally tall old man had obviously shrunk a lot, only his silver hair was still so thick and neatly combed.According to tradition, the elderly have to park for seven days to accept condolences from people from all walks of life.

In the afternoon, Liu Zizheng asked Xiao Li to send Zhang Xiaoxue home. Zhang Xiaoxue wriggled her lips and wanted to say, "I want to stay here with you." But looking at his 7-month-old stomach, he still followed Xiao Li silently. Yes, besides, there is a little one at home.

Zhang Xiaoxue was lying on the bed tossing and turning, she couldn't sleep, she wasn't used to men not being around, and she was thinking about a lot of things in a mess.Thinking that grandpa treats her so well, if she is not with her now, grandpa will be very disappointed.Thinking about what Liu Zizheng is doing in Liu Zhai now, does he have time to sleep? ...

Although the funeral was more about relatives than extravagance, and the Liu family always acted in a low-key manner, but their status and status were there, the funeral was still very grand, and people from the political and business circles kept coming and going.

There are many people and many things. Liu Zizheng basically stays in Liu's house, but Xiaoxue and his son are not allowed to go to the funeral.Zhang Xiaoxue and her son didn't show up until the day of the funeral, and she didn't participate in any other aspects.

"Zizheng? You're back?" Zhang Xiaoxue fell into a sleepy sleep, and she woke up at the slightest movement.

"Well, I woke you up?" Liu Zizheng lay down on the bed.

"No, I can't sleep well when you're not here." Zhang Xiaoxue turned over and stuck to Liu Zizheng's side.

"Go to sleep..." Liu Zizheng gently stroked Zhang Xiaoxue's big belly.

"Well, how did you come back today?"

"I miss you." He was very busy these days, and he could sleep for a short while at night, but he couldn't sleep well.I haven't seen him for a few days. Although he calls every day, he still doesn't feel at ease. He came back after a while this evening.

"Well, I miss you too."

"Hey, go to sleep." Liu Zizheng hugged the woman in his arms and patted her on the back lightly. He was exhausted these days, the familiar bed and the familiar smell soon made his eyes dry.

"Ah."

There was an even sound of breathing.

"Zizheng?" Zhang Xiaoxue called softly.

"Huh?" Liu Zizheng hummed in a daze.

"You fell asleep?"

"Well, I've been sleepy these days."

"Oh..." Zhang Xiaoxue stared at her big eyes, not knowing whether she should say that she should let him sleep well.

"what happened?"

"I..." After hesitating for a while, Zhang Xiaoxue said it anyway.

"Zizheng, do you think it is inauspicious for a pregnant woman to attend a funeral?" Zhang Xiaoxue asked tentatively. She was very conflicted these days. The man refused to let her go to the funeral. Was it because she was afraid that she would bring some bad omens to the Liu family? .She can always think of Rui Jue in "Home". She was forced to leave the high mansion because of the so-called "blood disaster" that would be brought about by childbirth, and finally died outside due to dystocia.

"Who said that? Why do you still believe this?"

"I'll just ask."

"Little fool, you think too much. I'm afraid you'll be tired. People come and go there, and it's not good for our baby." In just a few words, he knew that the little woman was thinking too much, and thought it was ominous for her.

"Oh, do you think grandpa will blame me?"

"No, grandpa is the most sensible, and he doesn't want our baby to be affected. Be good, you think too much. Your biggest task now is to take care of yourself and your baby. I'm not at home these days. You must Take care of yourself, eh?"

"OK, all right."

"Hey, go to bed." Gently patting the woman's back, Liu Zizheng fell asleep quickly.

"En." Zhang Xiaoxue moved her body slightly, and closed her eyes.

The next day, when Zhang Xiaoxue opened her eyes, the sun had already shone through the gap in the curtains, and there was no one around her. If she hadn't seen the pajamas the man took off, she would have thought she was having a dream.The son should have gotten up, and she also started to wash up, and started another lazy day.

When everything is settled, relatives and friends are separated, and grandpa becomes a tombstone. When I go back to Liu's house, there will never be an old man with white hair to welcome her, and no one will pull her to play chess. No one reminded her to relax again... Thinking of a person disappearing forever like this, inexplicable sadness welled up in her heart.Every life will come to an end, and all grievances and conflicts of interest will disappear.Since then, the prosperity, enchantment, depression and hardships of this world have nothing to do with him anymore.All the traces left by him will slowly disappear. If there is a meritorious service, it may be remembered from time to time. If it is just an ordinary walk, perhaps only the children and grandchildren will remember that there was such a relative at a certain time. It's still so successful like grandpa, let alone an ordinary person like her.The impermanence of life is like a bottomless black hole, which fills her with fear, but she knows soberly that one day, she and her lover will be sucked away by it ruthlessly, and they will never be found in this world again shadow.If she had to face it, she hoped that she could leave with her man hand in hand, that would be a kind of happiness.Thinking of this, she was a little relieved, and looked at the man affectionately, and the man was also looking at her, understanding each other, and clasped his hands tightly.

Liu Zizheng took a final look at everything in Liu's house, picked up his son in one hand, and pulled Zhang Xiaoxue in the other, and the three left Liu's house.There is nothing left to miss about this place.

Perhaps the parents' solemn expressions and solemn clothes made the little guy uncomfortable, but Yang Yang stayed quietly in Liu Zizheng's arms, neither crying nor making trouble, let alone being mischievous as usual.Zhang Xiaoxue looked at the man's obviously thin and haggard face. His grandfather was gone, which hit him the hardest. Without his grandfather, he would have to bear more in the future.She loves him very much, but she can't help him at the moment. She holds the man's hand tightly, hoping that he will know that no matter what, she will be by his side and support him.The man also held her hand back vigorously, holding her tightly in his arms. The grandfather who was also a teacher and friend was gone. Fortunately, he still had his lover and child.
