A few years later, Gu Mingzhi, Gu Mingrui and Gu Wenjing's children were all married. The younger grandchildren were in elementary school and the older ones were in high school.

Song Ranran’s industries are spread all over the world, involving dozens of industries.

More than a dozen charitable funds have been established, and Song Ranran donates billions of charity funds every year.

The main philanthropic undertakings are student aid, medical treatment, agricultural assistance, and free legal aid to disadvantaged groups.

Gu Mingzhi is already the secretary of the provincial party committee.

There is no war in the new era, but Gu Mingrui has the contacts and experience package left to him by Gu Beicheng, and he has also strived for success. His current position is military commander.

After Gu Wenjing married An Guo, Song Ranran gave An Guo's research institute as a dowry to Gu Wenjing.

The couple is a fixture on the Forbes list.

The sun shines through the sparse clouds and shines dappledly on the quiet courtyard.

Song Ranran sat on a wicker chair, leaning against Gu Beicheng's side.

Gu Beicheng closed his eyes and meditated, his face as pale as a flower about to wither.

Song Ranran lowered her head and stared at Gu Beicheng's hand. That hand was once so strong, but now it was lying weakly on her knees.

Her fingers gently caressed the back of his hand, as if playing a silent elegy.

"Brother Beicheng, do you still remember?"

"When we first met, the sky was so clear and you were wearing the same clothes."

Song Ranran spoke softly, with a hint of nostalgia in her tone.

"I still remember that time, you were wearing a white one-inch-high heeled floral skirt, with a playful ponytail, and your eyes seemed to be able to talk."

Gu Beicheng opened his eyes slightly, with a weak smile on his lips.

He knew that his time was coming, so he deliberately found the clothes he wore on the blind date. He didn't expect that Song Ranran could still remember them after so long.

"You had such deep eyes at that time, you were handsome and generous, and you had a good temper. It was my first blind date, and I didn't expect to meet the person I was destined to be."

"Time flies so fast, and in a blink of an eye, we are all old."

Song Ranran smiled softly as she thought of the scene when she and Gu Beicheng met for the first time.

"Daughter-in-law, I am not afraid of death. I am just worried that you will be sad because of me."

Gu Beicheng was silent for a while and then said.

"I won't be sad. Because I know that you are always in my heart and never leave."

"Brother Beicheng, I am actually not from this world. This world was originally just a novel. People have souls. Maybe we will meet again in the next life."

Song Ranran looked up at the male protagonist, with a firm light shining in her eyes.

"Daughter-in-law, don't be sad after I leave. You have to eat well, sleep well, and..."

Gu Beicheng choked up for a moment, he was reluctant to leave Song Ranran.

But birth, old age, illness and death are irreversible, and no one can go against the laws of nature.

Gu Beicheng was afraid that Song Ranran would be sad, so he tried his best to raise the corners of his lips and smile, with infinite nostalgia flashing in his eyes.

He held Song Ranran's hand tightly, as if he wanted to keep this warmth in his heart forever.

"Brother Beicheng, I know!"

Song Ranran gently patted Gu Beicheng's hand to comfort him.

Gu Beicheng knew that he was older than Song Ranran and might leave before her, so he made silent arrangements a long time ago.

After Gu Beicheng retired, he took care of Song Ranran's food and daily necessities.

Every time he cooked more dishes, Song Ranran put all the extra dishes into the space.

When encountering good fruits, ingredients, cloths, supplements and other supplies, Gu Beicheng would also let Song Ranran take them into his space.

The sun gradually sets towards the west, and the light and shadow in the yard gradually become softer.

Song Ranran still leaned against Gu Beicheng's side, like she had done countless evenings.

Neither of them spoke, just enjoying the last moments quietly.

They didn't know when the children were around them.

At this moment, Song Ranran and Gu Beicheng only had eyes for each other.

Suddenly, Gu Beicheng gently squeezed Song Ranran's hand.

"Daughter-in-law, I have to leave."

His voice was soft but full of determination.

Gu Beicheng, who should explain the child, had already done so in advance. In his last moments, he just wanted to be with Song Ranran.

Song Ranran didn't speak, but held his hand tightly, with tears in her eyes.

She knew that this was their last farewell.

Gu Beicheng smiled slightly and then slowly closed his eyes.

His breathing gradually became weak, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.

"father!"

"dad!!"

"dad!!!"

"grandfather!"

A heartbreaking cry came to Song Ranran's ears.

Song Ranran didn't cry, she just sat quietly beside Gu Beicheng blankly.

Until the sun completely set, the yard fell into darkness, and the cold temperature came from the hands.

Only then did Song Ranran realize that Gu Beicheng had left this world and would never be seen again.

"Mom, it's time to change dad's clothes."

Seeing Song Ranran come to her senses, Gu Wenjing whispered softly with tears in her eyes.

"There's no need to change clothes. The clothes your dad is wearing were specially found and put on by him."

"This suit is what your dad wore when he first met me."

Song Ranran felt extremely sad when she saw that the clothes that fit her before were now baggy on Gu Beicheng's body.

His expression was extremely peaceful, just like when he was asleep.

There is no ban on burial in this world, and Song Ranran had already arranged their coffins and cemetery in advance.

Song Ranran looked calm on the surface, but in fact she was extremely sad inside.

But Song Ranran couldn't cry, she just wanted to stay by Gu Beicheng's side.

The three children were busy with Gu Beicheng's funeral affairs in an orderly manner.

Song Ranran divided all her property into three parts and distributed them to her three children.

Song Ranran put all the commemorative things that Gu Beicheng left for her into the space, and distributed the others to the three children.

"Mom, it's time to eat."

Gu Mingrui felt extremely sad when he saw Song Ranran looking at Gu Beicheng all the time except sleeping.

"Leave it for now, I'll eat it later!"

Song Ranran waved her hand, her eyes never leaving Gu Beicheng.

"Mom, you haven't eaten for two days. I beg you to eat something. We don't have dad anymore. Is it difficult for you to not want us anymore?"

Gu Mingrui knelt on the ground, looking at Song Ranran with tears in his eyes, his eyes full of pleading.

When Gu Mingzhi and Gu Wenjing heard the commotion, they knelt down and cried and begged.

Gu Mingzhi, Gu Mingrui and Gu Wenjing felt uneasy when they saw Song Ranran quietly dividing the property.

The three of them took turns serving food to Song Ranran every half hour, but Song Ranran didn't eat a bite.

The three of them never knew how strong Song Ranran was. Whenever they tried to help her up, she pushed them away easily.

"You have all grown up. You have wives, children, and careers. You don't lack me as an old woman. I dreamed about your father yesterday. He said he was waiting for me!"

Normal people will die if they don't eat or drink water for three days.

Song Ranran is already over eighty years old, and she knows that she can no longer hold on.

But this time when facing death, Song Ranran was not afraid at all. She showed a weak smile to Gu Beicheng inside the coffin.
