Chapter 831: Chapter 620: Died Without Knowing Why? (Second Update)

Until she stood in front of them and called out,

"Grandpa, Grandma!"

The two elderly people stared at her, scrutinizing her for a long time; Grandma squinted her eyes, appearing to have poor eyesight.

Their cautious demeanor made Xiao Meng laugh.

Su Jikang and Deng Yingmei still haven’t learned how to use cell phones; they usually use the landline at home for calls.

Because of this, Su Chengji was nearly worried to death, afraid the two elders would get lost once they left the village.

Discussing over the phone with Su Jikang and Deng Yingmei about how to come to Beijing, Su Chengji was quite inclined to have the two elders take the high-speed train, which is slightly simpler than airplane boarding procedures.

But Grandma was busy like a child,

"I want to take a plane. The last time I flew was for Meng Meng’s wedding."

"You’re not afraid of planes anymore?"

"Not afraid! At my age, what is there to fear!"

Xiao Meng laughed upon hearing this, it seems Grandma had developed an addiction to flying.

Before Su Chengji could continue speaking, he heard Grandpa and Grandma having a minor argument on the phone; Grandpa muttered,

"Planes aren’t safe. Look at how many have fallen from the sky this year? Once they crash, they’re impossible to find..."

"Don’t jinx it. I’ve never done anything guilty in my life, so how could I be that unlucky..."

"..."

In the end, Grandpa wasn’t as decisive as Grandma, and they decided to take the plane to Beijing.

Their eldest son, Su Chenggong, escorted the elderly couple to the airport; Xiao Meng had bought them first-class tickets and had someone at the airport ready to assist them, accompanying them throughout the entire process.

From the boarding gate to deplaning, they were attended to.

If these measures weren’t in place, Su Chengji couldn’t rest easy letting the elderly couple fly alone, fearing mishaps might occur.

"Meng Meng...?"

Deng Yingmei scrutinized carefully before responding with suspicion.

Xiao Meng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry; although it had been some time since she saw Grandma and Grandpa, it wasn’t to the extent that they’d fail to recognize her...

"Your hair... has grown so long!"

Su Xiaomeng quickly replied with a smile,

"Yes, it has!"

She hurriedly stepped forward to give Grandma a hug,

"Grandma, it’s been so long, Xiao Meng missed you terribly!"

"Oh dear..."

Grandma quickly patted Xiao Meng’s back, and only after letting go, did she hoarsely say,

"Xiao Meng... you’ve changed so much, Grandma... can hardly recognize you."

"Why are you crying, old woman?"

"Leave me alone, I’m just happy to see my granddaughter!"

"..."

"I’ll be even happier when I see Shuangshuang and Huang Huang!"

Seeing Su Xiaomeng, Grandma’s heart felt instantly more expansive, wider than the Capital Airport, and she let go of her husband’s hand, holding Xiao Meng’s hand, in a manner that said, "With my granddaughter here, I’m fearless."

Su Jikang watched this scene, utterly speechless regarding his wife.

The staff accompanying Xiao Meng stepped forward to take Su Jikang’s suitcase,

"Sir, let me assist you."

"Be careful! There are many farm eggs inside! Don’t break them!"

"Ah? Okay! Sure!"

Su Xiaomeng lifted Grandma with one hand and Grandpa with the other, slowly walking outside,

"It’s really cold inside the airport..."

Grandma murmured, "The air conditioning is so strong..."

Xiao Meng chuckled, "Hmm, yes, it is quite strong!"

"That’s a lot of wasted electricity!" Grandma grumbled again, "Indeed, it’s the Capital; people sure are particular. Can’t even handle a bit of heat."

Grandma’s mouth was full of disdain, but as soon as she stepped outside the airport, she abruptly stopped,

"Wow! How is Beijing so hot!"

The summer heat in Beijing hadn’t passed, and the sun was still strong around three o’clock; as soon as they left the airport, without the cool air conditioning, the scorching air hit their faces.

Chengdu’s climate is usually pleasant, and with Su Jikang and Deng Yingmei living in the countryside, the rural temperature tends to be cooler than in the city.

Deng Yingmei was momentarily stunned by the blazing sun.

Su Jikang didn’t fare much better than his wife, but the purpose of this trip was to attend his younger sister’s funeral, so Su Jikang’s mood was much heavier than his wife’s, not bothered by concerns like the weather.

"Grandma, the air conditioning in the car is on, it won’t be this hot!"

"Oh, okay!"

The driver carefully placed the luggage; seeing this, Su Jikang couldn’t help but remind,

"They’re all farm eggs, be sure to handle with care."

The car drove straight home; once they entered the house, Su Jikang and Deng Yingmei were shocked by the space, much larger than they’d imagined.

"This... the house must be expensive? I read in the news that Beijing housing prices are exorbitant..."

Grandma quickly exclaimed, her eyes wide open, following the house with her gaze as if trying to calculate the square footage, but failing, she shook her head to herself,

"Exorbitant..."

"Shuang’er, Huang’er, great-grandpa, great-grandma! Do you remember?"

Shuangshuang quickly shook her head, slightly embarrassed as she hid behind Xiao Meng’s leg, yet smiling broadly,

"I don’t remember... hehe..."

Prince Huang stared at Su Jikang and Deng Yingmei, even more expressionless, and his gaze carried a hint of exploration,

"Huang’er, you don’t remember either, do you?"

Prince Huang shook his head... then shifted his gaze away.

Su Jikang and Deng Yingmei felt a bit disappointed, but the two elders only had Shuangshuang and Huang Huang as great-grandchildren.

Both children were raised in well-to-do urban families, naturally distant from them...

"Call them great-grandpa, great-grandma. They’re your grandfather’s parents."

Upon Xiao Meng’s explanation, Prince Huang’s eyes lit up; hearing they were Grandpa’s parents seemed quite close.

So he politely greeted,

"Hello, great-grandpa, great-grandma."

"Hello, Huang Huang."

Deng Yingmei’s face immediately lit up with joy.

Seeing her brother greet them, Shuangshuang quickly showed her cheerful and friendly nature, she approached Su Jikang and Deng Yingmei, calling out left and right, "Hello, great-grandpa, great-grandma, you’ve worked so hard..."

Su Jikang and Deng Yingmei listened with both surprise and delight.

Sitting on the sofa, Su Jikang was very cautious, as if afraid his clothes would dirty the leather sofa.

The elderly couple was old, though they knew their granddaughter married into a prominent family in Beijing, nobody from Su Family Village knew exactly how grand this family was.

Neighbors would only say the granddaughter of the elderly couple lived well in the city.

Those previous rumors, like Su Xiaomeng becoming the Yin Family’s female CEO, were beyond the realm of understanding for the elderly couple and rural neighbors.

"Speaking of... where’s Xiao Yin? Where’s my granddaughter’s husband?"

Deng Yingmei asked.

Nobody in Su Family Village knew about Yin Shixiu’s identity, let alone the vast background behind him.

News of Yin Shixiu’s death hadn’t reached Su Family Village.

Probably not wanting the elderly couple to be saddened; a young widow in the family is a heartbreaking and distressing matter.

"Ah... Shixiu went on a business trip."

Xiao Meng hurriedly replied.

Bai Sixian and Su Chengji caught the signal and quickly corroborated the story.

The elderly couple didn’t comment further, just showed a hint of regret. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

The dinner was eaten at home, Bai Sixian cooked, Xiao Meng helped out.

During dinner, the elderly couple couldn’t help but remark, "I never thought Xiao Meng would help Sixian cook..."

Xiao Meng blushed,

"There are many things you haven’t thought of."

The elderly couple laughed heartily; Xiao Meng was still adored by the elders, and now, with the chatty Shuangshuang at the table, the meal was lively.

In the evening, Ah Su took Shuangshuang and Huanghuang to wash up.

The elderly couple stayed in Su Chengji and Bai Sixian’s room, the door tightly shut; Ah Su sliced the fruit, Xiao Meng took it, about to knock and enter, but heard Grandpa sobbing,

"How can I let my sister die so confusedly? I’m an old man, can’t do anything... but I have to know why she went to that family, why she attacked them; I need to see that family! Otherwise, I won’t die in peace!"

"..."

Su Xiaomeng closed her eyes...

She knew it would eventually come to this...
