At night, the soft and obedient girl was kissed by the big boss in the Beijing circle and cried

Chapter 460 I knelt with her all night
Lu Shengsheng squatted on the ground, crying very sadly, while Gu Ronghui squatted in front of her and wiped her tears with his sleeve, his eyes and actions revealing his heartache.

He's a man too, and he understands what this means, but...

He doesn't want to back down!
After hesitating for a moment, he walked over and knelt down in front of Lu Shengsheng, gently calling out, "Shengsheng, I'm sorry I'm late."

Lu Shengsheng's eyelashes trembled slightly with tears, and the next second she snuggled into his arms and burst into tears.

Lu Wenzhou gently patted her back, patiently comforting her, "It's alright, Auntie will be alright."

Lu Shengsheng leaned against him, her tears soaking his clothes, while Gu Ronghui's hand remained frozen in mid-air, his face as pale as paper.

***
At three o'clock in the morning, Lu's mother's condition deteriorated again. Because Lu Shengsheng gave up emergency treatment, she passed away quickly without experiencing much pain, as peacefully as if she were asleep.

Lu Shengsheng sat by the bed, holding her hand the whole time, watching her leave. There were no heart-wrenching cries; she simply closed her eyes, letting tears stream down her cheeks, and called out, "Mommy..."

No one responded.

From then on, no one would answer her every time she called "Mom".

"I don't have a mother anymore..." she murmured to herself, "I don't have a mother anymore..."

Suddenly, the world spun around him, and all the strength seemed to be drained from his body. He fell off the chair.

“Shengsheng…”

“Shengsheng…”

Lu Wenzhou and Gu Ronghui's expressions changed suddenly, and they both reached out to catch her.

Lu Wenzhou's hands were too weak to hold on, and Gu Rong's strong arms pulled Lu Shengsheng into his embrace, his dark eyes filled with worry, "Shengsheng..."

Lu Shengsheng's face was still wet with tears as she leaned against him, unconscious.

Looking at this scene, Lu Wenzhou felt not only heartache but also a deep sense of powerlessness.

No matter how hard I try, it will always be a pipe dream to pick her up.

When Liang Hanyue arrived after receiving the news, Lu Shengsheng was still asleep and had an IV drip in her arm.

The doctor said she fainted because she was too heartbroken and hadn't been resting well recently, and her emotions became too intense.

Liang Hanyue looked at her pale face; her once oval face now had a noticeably sharper chin.

"Auntie's condition had been stable, how could it have deteriorated so suddenly?"

Lu Wenzhou shook his head. "I don't know. I've been too busy at the company these past few days. I really haven't noticed."

Gu Rong leaned against the window, texting something on her phone. After finishing, she put the phone away and walked over, saying, "She needs to rest well right now. As for the funeral..."

“Lu Wenzhou and I will handle Auntie’s funeral arrangements.” Liang Hanyue interrupted him as if she knew what he was going to say. “Mr. Gu, you should know that Sheng Sheng doesn’t want to have too much to do with you. She’s already heartbroken enough, so I hope you won’t bother her during this time.”

She once thought that Gu Ronghui had feelings for Shengsheng, but she didn't expect that he also had Lin Leyang, who was just like Gu Jingchen.

As expected, people with the surname Gu are all no good.

Gu Ronghui's expression was somewhat unpleasant, but she knew that what she said was true, so she did not refute it. "Then please take good care of her recently."

“Sheng Sheng is my friend. Even if President Gu hadn’t said anything, I would have taken care of her,” Liang Hanyue said indifferently, showing no gratitude whatsoever.

After Gu Rong left, Liang Hanyue called Xia Wu and asked her to come to the capital.

Xia Wu handled most of the arrangements for Liang Zhoushan's funeral. She was experienced in this area and should be able to help her aunt have a dignified funeral.

Lu Wenzhou sat on the edge of the bed and gently took Lu Shengsheng's hand, his eyes full of heartache.

Liang Hanyue patted his shoulder, "Don't worry too much, I believe Sheng Sheng will get through this." Lu Wenzhou didn't say anything, just nodded.

Lu Shengsheng woke up in the morning, while Lu Wenzhou and Liang Hanyue stayed at the hospital all night.

"I've already contacted the funeral home and booked the mourning hall for Auntie. You just need to handle the funeral arrangements; we'll take care of the rest." Liang Hanyue said succinctly. She didn't know who else the Lu family had, so Lu Shengsheng had to handle the funeral arrangements herself.

Lu Shengsheng said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you..."

"Don't be so polite with me, please accept my condolences." Liang Hanyue hugged her. "Your aunt in heaven would certainly not want to see you like this."

Lu Shengsheng hummed in agreement and then remained silent.

After Lu Shengsheng finished her funeral, Liang Hanyue and Lu Wenzhou accompanied her to the funeral home.

The mourning hall has been set up, and Xia Wu is still communicating with the person in charge about the follow-up matters.

Lu Shengsheng walked up to the white coffin and saw her mother wearing a red cheongsam, her hair neatly combed, and her face lightly made up. She looked as beautiful as if she were just asleep.

Liang Hanyue walked to her side and explained softly, "I asked the caregiver, and these are all in accordance with Auntie's wishes before she passed away. She also chose the photos long ago."

Lu Shengsheng: "That's great, thank you."

"Let's kowtow and offer incense to Auntie," Liang Hanyue said, changing the subject.

Lu Shengsheng first kowtowed to her mother, then lit three incense sticks, changed into mourning clothes, and knelt in front of the brazier to burn paper money.

Lu Wenzhou and Liang Hanyue paid their respects to Lu's mother and stayed by Lu Shengsheng's side.

Lu's relatives and friends also came to pay their respects intermittently.

Under Xia Wu's guidance, Lu Shengsheng numbly went through all the funeral procedures.

According to custom, Lu Shengsheng was to stay at the mourning hall to keep vigil that night. She told Lu Wenzhou and Liang Hanyue to go back, saying she could manage on her own.

Lu Wenzhou was worried, but Lu Shengsheng insisted, "This is the last time I can spend with my mother. I don't want to be disturbed, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Wenzhou and Liang Hanyue could no longer insist and could only tell her to take care of herself.

Lu Shengsheng had been busy all day and hadn't eaten much, but she didn't feel tired or hungry at all. Most people would be terrified to spend the night with a corpse, but she wasn't afraid at all.

This is her mother, the one who brought her into this world, the person who loves her most in the whole world.

As the night deepened, the lights in the mourning hall shone as brightly as day, and the number of people coming to pay their respects gradually dwindled.

She knelt alone in front of the brazier, putting in new paper money each time before the flames went out.

Footsteps suddenly sounded in the silence.

Lu Shengsheng slowly raised her head. Gu Ronghui walked in, dressed in a black suit. He first kowtowed respectfully, and then offered incense.

Finally, he knelt down beside her, took the paper money from her hand, and put it into the brazier.

Lu Shengsheng watched him do all of this without saying a word.

I thought he would leave after burning the paper money, but I didn't expect him to kneel there the whole time, helping to fold the paper money and put it into the fire pit.

Lu Shengsheng's throat moved, but in the end she didn't say a word and let him do as he pleased.

Time slipped away bit by bit, and Gu Ronghui knelt with her all night.
