Chapter 1355: Wish
The sadness hit her fast; the more Mu Yan thought, the sadder she felt, and her eyes turned red again.Jiang Jingheng cupped her face and said softly, "Today is the day Mu Chen is laid to rest. He wouldn’t want to see you like this. In his heart, you were the best sister. He would definitely Hope you can send him off with a smile."
Mu Yan looked at Jiang Jingheng, and only then remembered there was still the most important thing to do today.
She forced her tears back and nodded. "Mm."
"Good girl, have breakfast first."
Yu Ma had already brought breakfast to the table.
Jiang Jingheng held Mu Yan’s hand and led her to the dining table.
In her bad mood, Mu Yan barely ate any breakfast.
After they finished eating, Jiang Jingheng took Mu Yan to the funeral home to prepare for the burial.
But as soon as they arrived, she was told that Mu Chen’s ashes had been taken away by Luo Yao.
Mu Yan immediately called Luo Yao.
Luo Yao was at the airport, holding a large box in her arms, wrapped in a silk scarf.
Seeing Mu Yan’s name on the caller ID, she answered right away. "Sis, is there something you need from me?"
"Where are you taking Chenchen’s ashes?"
"Before he died, Mu Chen told me he wanted to see the world outside, so he said, if one day he left this world, he Hope I would help him fulfill that wish. I’m sorry, Sis, I didn’t tell you about this."
"Sis, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of myself. You take care too. The person Mu Chen worries about the most is you."
Luo Yao hung up and looked down at the box in her hands, a knowing smile appearing on her face.
While he was alive, she couldn’t travel with him, couldn’t take him to see all the scenery in this world. Now that he’s gone, she would do whatever it took to help him realize this wish.
At the funeral home, after hanging up, Mu Yan felt as if her heart had gone hollow.
Mu Chen was gone, and now even his ashes had been taken away. It was as if he had completely vanished from her world.
"Do you want to go and bring her back?" Jiang Jingheng asked.
Mu Yan shook her head. "Since it was Mu Chen’s wish, of course I have to respect it."
As she spoke, she walked forward and said to the relatives and friends who had come today, "Thank you all so much for coming to my brother’s funeral, and I’m very sorry for delaying your time. Something unexpected happened today, so the funeral is canceled. I’ll arrange cars to take everyone back."
She said this and bowed deeply to everyone.
Most of them had already heard what had happened and came forward to comfort her.
Soon, more than half the guests had left.
The only ones who stayed were the Zhuang Family and the few friends Mu Yan had.
Seeing the worried looks on their faces, Mu Yan smiled. "I’m fine. I promised Chenchen before that when he got better I’d take him traveling, to see the world. Now he can finally fulfill that wish. I’m happy for him."
"Nuannuan, you’ve been through so much." Ruan Xinyu looked at her, heart aching. "Why don’t you come back to Beijing with your aunt for a while, leave Upper City for the time being?"
"No need, I’m really fine." Mu Yan refused without even thinking.
Upper City might be a place of sorrow, but there were also so many memories of her and Mu Chen here. She was afraid of forgetting the pain of losing him, even more afraid of forgetting him.
"Don’t worry, Sister Yu, I believe Yanyan can get through this." Kong Lizhen suddenly said. "Even if Mu Chen is gone, he’ll always live in our hearts."
Mu Yan looked at Kong Lizhen, the smile on her face a little deeper, her eyes full of emotion.
Kong Lizhen reached out and ruffled her hair, the gesture immensely affectionate.
Although Zhuang Zeyang and the others had things to attend to and couldn’t stay long in Upper City, before they left they still made a trip to the Jiang Family.
