Chapter 209: Everything Turns to Ashes

The hall that was noisy just now was quiet at the moment, and there was no one else, only she and Chen Chen were still sitting there. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Brother Chen, go ahead! I'll go see the old man. After a long time, Gu Manman spoke softly.

Chen Chen understood what Gu Manman meant, and he didn't want to follow him anymore. Whispered, "Good!"

The hall where she was the only one was a little more bleak than the noisy scene just now. The bigger and the emptier it is, the more bleak it becomes.

According to the pattern of the Lin family in her memory, she slowly got up and walked towards another gate. The heels hit the floor with an echo. The footsteps of her alone were unusually clear in the hall.

Gu Manman hadn't seen the old man since she entered the Lin family, and when she thought about it, she estimated that the old man's health was not very good, otherwise he would definitely come out of the scene of Lin Haonan's marriage, and the older a person is, the more he likes the lively scene.

Pushing open the heavy Nanmu door, the dim light in the corridor contrasted sharply with the hall, and Gu Manman's eyes couldn't adapt to it.

After waiting for a while, I thought that the old man should be in the innermost room, so I walked over there.

Before he could get closer, a muffled cough came out, unusually abrupt in the empty hallway.

"Master, let's go to the hospital!" A voice with some eagerness came out.

The man didn't answer, it sounded like he hadn't gotten his breath yet, and after a while, he swallowed it in one breath, "No! I know how my body is. Why go to the hospital again? It's better to send me back to my hometown someday......"

At this point, he coughed again.

Gu Manman stood at the door for a while, and then knocked on the door.

There was movement in the room again. The one who came to open the door was the servant who had been following Old Man Lin for many years, although Gu Manman had an impression, she couldn't remember it clearly, and she didn't pay much attention to these people at that time.

Outside they were celebrating Lin Haonan and Ye Chuxuan, noisy and festive, but inside it was such a lonely scene. If it weren't for such a servant by the old man's side, I'm afraid he would be alone here.

"Miss Gu is here? Come inside, please~" Seeing the visitor, the maid was also a little surprised.

Gu Manman smiled, "I'm here to talk to grandpa, I don't know if grandpa is convenient now?" ”

The servant was about to answer, but suddenly a laborious voice came from inside, "Come in!" ”

Hearing the voice, Gu Manman nodded to the servant, and then went inside. The man behind him went out and closed the door by the way.

Gu Manman entered the inner room, and at a glance he saw the old man half-lying on the golden silk nanmu bed. Two soft pillows behind him supported him to sit up. It's been a long time, and he's a little thinner than the last time I saw him, or rather skinny.

The eye sockets were completely sunken, a pair of pupils were cloudy, and a face was full of furrows. The privileged life in his later years did not allow him to live much of a comfortable life, after all, before Lin Haonan officially took over the Lin family, it was all taken care of by Old Man Lin himself.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of the crowd outside, and looking at the silence here, Gu Manman only felt that tears were about to fall as soon as the tip of his nose was sour.

"Coming? Sit down here! The old man pointed to the low stool in front of the bed.

Gu Manman came back to his senses, nodded and sat there.

"Grandpa......"

"I didn't expect you to come." The old man looked at her for a long time and said in a low voice.

Gu Manman understood what he meant. Last time she promised to help the Lin family, Old Man Lin had already said that from now on, the Gu Lin family would have nothing to do with each other, so Gu Manman would come, and the old man was naturally surprised.

"I'm coming to see you!" Holding back the tears that were about to fall, Gu Manman said this sentence with a smile on his face.

The old man was stunned, and then he opened his mouth and laughed, and the color of his face was no longer as dark as before, "What is there to look good about me as an old man?" If only I could have found happiness sooner. After all, I've always treated you like my own granddaughter. ”

After saying this, he coughed again. It was as if all the strength in the body had been used. Gu Manman hurriedly got up to help him calm down, and as soon as his hand touched his back, it felt like he was touching a pile of bones.

Gu Manman's heart tightened, and the tears that he held in his eyes flowed out at once. But he still uses his strength, hoping that he can make him feel better.

After a long time, the old man finally relieved himself, and this was like an indifferent smile, "People are old, that's it!" ”

Gu Manman didn't answer, didn't sit down, just stood there and didn't move. The old man looked up, "What's wrong?" Sit down! ”

Because it was against the light, his already cloudy eyes couldn't see the crystal on Gu Manman's face even more clearly. Gu Man casually wiped his tears, and then sat down.

"Why didn't Grandpa go to the hospital to have a look?" After thinking about it, he spoke softly.

"I'm old, it's too noisy to go to the hospital, but I still prefer to be clean." The old man sighed softly, and then slowly said this.

Gu Manman felt even more sad, where did he feel that he liked to be quiet when he was old? It is clear that he is reluctant to go to the hospital.

Remembering what the old man had said to the servant when she was outside the door, he wanted to find a time to go back to his hometown. Does that mean he knows his end is near? Don't all old people want to return to their roots?

The matter has come to this point, and Gu Manman also knows the truth that it is useless to say more. She had no way to change what the old man had decided, so she could only let him go like this. But she also knew in her heart that the old man was really bad this time......

"Lin'er, that kid ......" coughed twice, and the old man spoke again.

"What's wrong?" The old man didn't finish his words, but Gu Manman felt that he was going to ask him about Lin Lin.

Although the old man has been staying at home by himself recently due to physical reasons, it does not mean that he has no perception of what is happening in the outside world. There must be a reason for mentioning this at this point.

"I know you have a good relationship with her, and I know that the child's resentment is too heavy. But all this was originally caused by me, and Hao Nan was also innocent to bear this. ”

After saying this, Old Man Lin coughed heavily again, and Gu Manman hurriedly helped him calm down. She didn't understand what the old man meant by mentioning Lin Lin in front of her, did she blame her for helping Lin Lin?

"That's it!" Raising his hand to signal Gu Manman not to be relieved anymore, he began to say what he hadn't finished before......

"My will has been made, and I owe it to her. And her talent in business is not lost to Hao Nan, if one day ...... It is not impossible for the Lin family's property to fall into her hands. (To be continued.) )
