Dressed as a Stand-in for the White Moonlight - Chapter 50
In the photo, Grandma Ding was sitting in the middle, surrounded by a young couple, with Ding Yuan standing behind them.
Ding Yuan looked only in his teens, handsome, with red lips and white teeth.
This family of four all had smiles on their faces, giving people a very warm feeling, obviously a very happy family.
Looking at this family portrait, Su Yuli felt quite uncomfortable. In the photo, they smiled so brightly and happily, who would have thought that they are now forever separated from each other.
Grandma Ding pointed to the person in the photo and introduced to Su Yuli: “This is Xiaoyuan’s father, this is his mother.”
Su Yuli calmed down and said in a relaxed tone, “Uncle is so handsome and aunt is beautiful, no wonder Xiaoyuan is so good.”
Grandma Ding’s eyes fell naturally, fell on the phone, and did not speak.
After enduring it, Su Yuli couldn’t help but ask, “Grandma Ding, what happened to Xiaoyuan’s parents…”
“Car accident.” Grandma Ding stroked the photo with her skinny fingers, her voice was so soft that she couldn’t hear any emotion, “That year Xiaoyuan was in junior high school.”
Su Yuli pursed his lower lip, and suddenly regretted asking this question.
After a while of silence, Su Yuli said, “Grandma Ding, I saw that this photo was taken from the album with a mobile phone. You are so amazing. Many old people I know don’t know how to use mobile phones at all.”
“This is Xiaoyuan’s cell phone.” Grandma Ding said, “He originally bought me a new one. I just changed it with him for a new cell phone used by an old man.”
Su Yuli snorted.
The room was quiet again.
It was the first time that Su Yuli encountered such a situation where he didn’t know what to say. He scratched his hair and saw Grandma Ding swiping through the phone page, looking at the photos in the album one by one.
Suddenly, Grandma Ding’s hand paused, and Su Yuli looked over and saw that she was looking at a group photo – a group photo of Ding Yuan and Mu Lang.
This photo should have been taken in the spring when all things are recovering. Mu Lang is wearing a long trench coat with one hand on Ding Yuan’s shoulder, Ding Yuan is wearing a white sweater and jeans, holding a mobile phone in one hand, and the breath of youth is blowing.
Ding is very close to Mu Lang, he is smiling and in high spirits.
This is Ding Yuan, whom Su Yuli has never seen.
In the photo, Ding Yuan looks much younger than he is now. When was this photo taken? When Ding Yuan was in high school?
Did they know each other so early?
Grandma Ding watched for a while, and sighed: “Xiaoyuan, that child, I haven’t been willing to delete this photo yet.”
Su Yuli sensed Grandma Ding’s mood and said, “Maybe she forgot, maybe Xiaoyuan has no contact with this person at all now.”
Grandma Ding nodded absentmindedly, Su Yuli’s eyes fell on the photo again, and he licked his lower lip: “Grandma Ding, I heard Xiaoyuan say that he has been with Mu … with this person, is it true?”
Grandma Ding nodded, “Yes, they have been dating, it’s just…”
“only?”
“This man lied to Xiaoyuan.”
Su Yuli frowned, sat up straight and said, “How do you say?”
On the other side, Luo Xing returned to the office after the meeting, and saw a person sitting on the sofa with the guests.
There is a cup of coffee in front of Mu Lang, his legs are crossed, his posture is very casual.
The female employees outside secretly peeped through the open door,
Unbelievable surprise and excitement.
Just then, Luo Xing slammed the door shut, ruthlessly blocking the sight of those people.
Seeing Luo Xing coming in, Mu Lang smiled and said, “Senior, your office environment is good, open and bright, I am a little envious.”
Luo Xing walked to the office chair and sat down, with no good expression on his face: “What are you doing here?”
Mu Lang took a sip of coffee slowly and then said, “Come and see you. How was last night, didn’t it go well?”
As soon as this matter was mentioned, Luo Xing’s anger in the bottom of his heart burst into flames, “You’re too embarrassed to ask, I’ll let you hold Wen Jin…”
Mu Lang’s gentle voice interrupted him forcefully: “I’ve held him back. In all, I held him for more than ten minutes, what can you say to Sui Yan? Expressing your thoughts is just a matter of words, why is the senior so angry? “
Speaking of this, Mu Lang paused, and looked at Luo Xing with interest: “Or does the senior want to do other things with Suiyan? Not enough time?”
Thinking of that day when Lin Suiyan rejected Lin Suiyan’s own initiative to dedicate himself, Luo Xing’s face was blue and white, so wonderful.
After a long while, he said firmly: “You came to me just to say this?”
Mu Lang leaned on the sofa and smiled leisurely: “That’s not true, I happened to pass by here on something, and I came to see you when I remembered that you were in a bad mood.”
He took out a well-packaged box after himself, “It’s my fault for what happened yesterday. This is my apology.”
Luo Xing didn’t speak, Mu Lang got up and tidied up his clothes: “Senior, there is a saying, ‘Good things take time’, you don’t have to worry, Lin Suiyan will be yours.”
Hearing Mu Lang’s firm words, Luo Xing couldn’t help but feel a little suspicious. He actually didn’t understand why Mu Lang wanted to deal with Lin Suiyan. They had known each other since childhood and were obviously friends.
Is Mu Lang really for Wen Jin?
However, before he could think clearly, Mu Lang left the office.
When Lin Suiyan returned home, Aunt Xu told Su Yuli to lock himself in the room for two hours.
Aunt Xu said, “I saw that Xiao Jin was in a bad mood, the elder with one face pulled.”
Lin Suiyan took off his coat and replied, “I see.”
Lin Suiyan pushed open the door, and saw Su Yuli lying on the bed playing games, pressing his fingers quickly, with an angry expression on his face, quite cute.
Lin Suiyan put the juice he brought up on the bed, just as the game was over, Su Yuli threw his phone away, turned over and rolled onto Lin Suiyan’s lap.
Lin Suiyan laughed: “what’s the matter, Aunt Xu said you’re in a bad mood.”
Su Yuli said in a muffled voice: “I feel very uncomfortable seeing Grandma Ding like this now. Suiyan, I think grandpa’s health is almost recovering. Let’s take him back and live with him. Let’s accompany him more.”
The old people are getting old, no one knows when they will leave, and they don’t have much time together.
Lin Suiyan touched Su Yuli’s hair and said, “Okay, I’ll contact the doctor. If there is no problem, I’ll bring grandpa back.”
Although the sanatorium has someone to take care of it, it is not as comfortable as being at home. Old Lin should also want to spend more time with his grandson.
Su Yuli’s eyes lit up and turned over: “Okay, I’ll clean up the room for grandpa.”
Lin Suiyan said, “Grandpa’s room, Aunt Xu, is cleaned every day, so you don’t need to go.”
Su Yuli snorted and lay back again. He picked up his mobile phone and asked Lin Suiyan, “Do you play games?”
…
Just as Lin Suiyan and Su Yuli were enthusiastically preparing to pick up Mr. Lin home, on the other side, an unforeseen tragedy suddenly unfolded.
When Su Yuli received the news of Grandma Ding’s death, he was shopping with Lin Suiyan at the mall to buy clothes for Mr. Lin. His eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he said with a trembling voice, “I see, I’ll go right there.”
When Su Yuli and Lin Suiyan arrived at the nursing home, they could only hear Ding Yuan’s suppressed cries coming from the ward.
Su Yuli’s hand pushing the door stopped suddenly, he was very afraid of this scene of life and death parting.
Su Yuli stood at the door for a while, until Lin Suiyan held his hand, he took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
In the room, Ding Yuan knelt on the edge of the bed, held Grandma Ding’s hand, his shoulders twitched, and the suppressed crying came out of his mouth.
Su Yuli glanced at the bed, Grandma Ding’s face was peaceful, as if she was asleep. But he knew that the kind old man would never open his eyes again.
Su Yuli couldn’t help shedding tears when she thought of all the things she’d gotten along with in the past few months.
Grandma Ding’s funeral is three days later.
The funeral was deserted, except for Ding Yuan, Su Yuli, Lin Suiyan and Yang Shuo, there was no one else.
Ding Yuan looked at the photo of Grandma Ding on the tombstone without moving or speaking. He didn’t shed any tears, and he had already shed all his tears in those three days.
Footsteps suddenly sounded in the silent cemetery, and it was getting closer. Su Yuli looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Mu Lang wearing a black suit and holding a bunch of chrysanthemums, walking over with a solemn expression.
Thinking of what Grandma Ding mentioned about him and Ding Yuan, Su Yuli couldn’t help frowning.
They broke up, why is this guy still disgusting.
Mu Lang stepped forward, placed the bunch of chrysanthemums he brought in front of the tomb, and whispered to Ding Yuan, “My condolences.”
Ding Yuan had no reaction to Mu Lang’s appearance, as if the person in front of him did not exist.
The wind in the cemetery was a little strong and a little cool, and after a while, water droplets fell.
It’s raining.
The rain, which was pattering at first, quickly turned into a rushing downpour.
Mu Lang clicked his tongue and said to Ding Yuan, who was pale and sick, “It’s raining, I’ll take you back.”
Ding Yuan didn’t seem to hear, and still looked at the tombstone with a sad face.
Mu Lang was about to say something when he saw a tall man beside Ding Yuan take off his suit and put it on Ding Yuan’s head.
Then the man grabbed Ding Yuan with one hand and said involuntarily, “It’s raining, you’re not in good health, let’s go back.”
Unexpectedly, Ding Yuan did not refuse and let Yang Shuo take him away.
Mu Lang frowned and blocked their way. He stared at Yang Shuo and asked in a bad tone, “Who are you?”
Yang Shuo said coolly, “I’m Xiaoyuan’s friend.”
“Friend?” Mu Lang’s eyes fell on Yang Shuo’s hand holding Ding Yuan’s shoulder, and his voice was full of sarcasm and coldness, “I don’t think it’s as simple as being a friend.”
He still remembered that Ding Yuan passed out in the hotel that day. The man was so nervous and worried that he even went out with Ding Yuan in his arms.
Normal friends do this?
Su Yuli was a little inexplicable watching from the side, why the atmosphere suddenly became tense, as if a fight would start in the next second.
Yang Shuo was about to open his mouth when he heard Ding Yuan coldly say, “What is our relationship, it has nothing to do with you.” He grabbed his jacket and left with Yang Shuo.
Seeing Mu Lang’s shriveled face, Su Yuli felt very happy, he pulled Lin Suiyan and said, “Let’s go back too.”
Lin Suiyan nodded, greeted Mu Lang coldly, and left with Su Yuli.
