but you never loved me

Chapter 224 Pain

Ji Xuanlang was driving on the way back to the house when he received the call from the police.Since that morning call, he could no longer get through to Gu Huaiyu.

A strange voice came from the phone: "Excuse me, are you Mr. Ji, the husband of Ms. Gu Huaiyu? I am a traffic policeman from the Municipal Traffic Bureau. Your wife's car overturned down the hill and Ms. Gu died. Please come and confirm your identity." The body is in XX Hospital."

The phone slipped from his hand unknowingly, Ji Xuanlang's expression instantly became dazed, and his mind went blank.He didn't even notice the traffic lights ahead, and crashed straight into the car in front.

He saw someone get off from the car in front of him, and a man stood by his car door and said something angrily.The strange thing is that he doesn't know what the other party is talking about, and can only watch the other party's mouth constantly opening and closing.

But the words just now echoed in his ears: "Please come and confirm the body." Suddenly his cell phone rang again under the seat, and he reached out to pick it up.Looking at the unfamiliar phone number on the phone, his face began to turn pale.He didn't care what the man was still talking about, he ignited the car and rushed out.

The man standing next to his car was splashed by the rain on the side of the road.The angry man pointed at the car going away and cursed: "Damn it, you're insane!"

Ji Xuanlang ignored the traffic rules all the way, broke through several traffic lights, and drove the car at a speed like a racing car the whole time.

But when he finally arrived at the hospital, he was standing in the hall with a dazed expression on his face.He didn't know where to find someone.At this moment his phone rang again, and he answered it.The man at the other end said: "Mr. Ji, have you been to the hospital yet?"

"I have arrived."

"Then please come directly to the morgue."

The "beep" sound came, and the other party had hung up the phone.Ji Xuanlang's hand on his thigh trembled violently, and he suddenly lost the courage to confirm the news.But after standing in the lobby for a long time, he turned around and entered the elevator.Even though his back looks so stiff.

As soon as he walked into the door of the mortuary, there was a gust of air-conditioning.The police guard at the door, after confirming his identity, led him in and walked to a corpse.He said, "Please confirm the body."

Ji Xuanlang is a doctor. Over the years, he has seen many corpses, even one or two of his patients. He has always been calm.Only this time, he couldn't calm down, and was even a little scared in his heart.

So when he lifted the layer of white cloth, his fingers couldn't help trembling.At this moment, he still had a glimmer of hope. What if the police made a mistake?What if she wasn't the one driving the car?

But when he saw that familiar face, all his mental preparations were in vain.He looked at Gu Huaiyu's delicate and clean face, which didn't have the slightest look of terror that a person in a car accident should have.Let him not doubt whether Gu Huaiyu just fell asleep.

He couldn't help reaching out and touching her face, the tentacles were cold to the bone.The policeman next to him said: "If Mr. Ji confirms the body, please sign it."

Ji Xuanlang took the document in his hand, but did not move for a long time.The policeman on the side looked at his pale face and said: "After you sign, the body needs to be cremated quickly. Please let your condolences pass and let your wife be buried as soon as possible."

In the silent space, the police's words seemed to echo throughout the room.Ji Xuanlang signed the signature numbly, and the police turned and left him alone.

When Yan Zimu received the notification, Mr. Gu had just woken up not long ago.Ning Yi looked at the expression on his face and pulled him out of the ward.

The two stood in the corridor, Yan Zimu was silent for a long time before saying: "Gu Huaiyu is dead." Ning Yi's eyes were filled with surprise, and he calmed down again for a moment.He stepped forward and gently hugged Yan Zimu into his arms.

Yan Zimu said in his arms: "I'm fine, I'm not sad. It's just... I thought I would be happy when she died, after all, he killed my father."

Ning Yi comforted her softly: "Maybe it's because she died so suddenly. You originally wanted to send her to prison and let the law judge her, didn't you?"

Yan Zimu nodded in a daze, and then responded: "Oh, probably." Ning Yi hugged him a little tighter, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

Yan Zimu never told Mr. Gu about this, because Mr. Gu's condition has been unstable and he can't get excited.

Until the day before Gu Huaiyu's funeral, he could no longer hide it.He pondered for a long time until Ning Yi shook his hand quietly to give him courage.He said: "Grandpa...she died in a car accident."

Mr. Gu was about to take a drink from the cup, when he heard this, he shook his hand and the cup fell straight to the ground.The room fell into dead silence, and old man Gu's eyes were filled with deep sadness.

But he didn't lose control of his grief as Yan Zimu thought.He said almost calmly, "Forget it, that's fine, she's so proud and arrogant, it's probably more painful to let her in." After saying that, he let out a long sigh, but it was too long.And the last bit of spirit of this frail old man seemed to be lost with this action.

This winter seemed to be very different from usual, and it rained again when Gu Huaiyu was cremated the next day.Looking at the raging fire in the crematorium and the gray sky, Yan Zimu felt extremely depressed.Fortunately, Ning Yi held his hand all the time, and when he turned his head and saw the man's gentle eyes, he felt at ease.

After the body was burned, the ashes were put into the urn, which was held by Ji Xuanlang.Yan Zimu looked at the small box, feeling a little indescribable in his heart.It turns out that a person's life is just such a small box in the end.

Gu Huaiyu was still buried on the top of Gu's hill, only two steps away from Yan Zimu's two fathers.Mr. Gu always loved her dearly, and he couldn't bear to be alone after her death.It's just that when making this decision, I was still afraid that Yan Zimu would feel uncomfortable.

But Yan Zimu didn't have anything to say, no matter how much hatred he had passed away, it was meaningless.If doing this can make old man Gu feel better, how can he bear to make the old man sad.

It was raining, and a group of people went up the mountain with big umbrellas.The Gu family is considered a wealthy family in the Gu family, but their population has been declining.Only a few people could come to watch Gu Huaiyu's burial with their own eyes.

Ji Xuanlang put Gu Huaiyu's urn into the tomb, and then someone went up to dig the soil into the tomb.When the tomb was sealed, relatives came forward to offer flowers one by one.

Mr. Gu touched his daughter's photo on the tombstone and wept uncontrollably.Ji Xuanlang patted the old man on the back to comfort him.Naturally, the queen came forward and put a daisy.

Yan Zimu looked at this man and his calm expression, but suddenly felt that he was the saddest person today.
