Li Chenxuan reached out and took the wooden tablet, looking at it in disbelief. His wife Jiao Siyu’s name is written on the wooden tablet. Looking at it, he remembered his dream and his hand tightened.
"This must be a lie. Siyu will never leave me..."
Just when he was still denying the fact, he heard his father’s voice, "You are finally willing to come back."
He was startled, but when he turned around he saw his father’s calm expression. He looked at the expressions of his brother and sister-in-law and found that they looked at him strangely.
Li Chenxuan held the wooden tablet tightly and asked, "Father, what’s going on? Why did you put these things in my house?"
Father Li looked at him for a while and asked with a sigh, "Second son, do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?"
"Father, what do you mean?" Li Chenxuan asked, a bad feeling rising in his heart.
"Your wife passed away yesterday morning, and we just came back from the cemetery." Father Li explained.
"Impossible! Father, stop joking. My wife is still in the hospital." Li Chenxuan said with a hint of anger.
Hearing this, Zhang Dongmei frowned and asked, "Second brother, where have you been these two days?" ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Hearing Zhang Dongmei’s question, Li Chenxuan did not dare to look at his father and brother. Although the donation was for Jiao Siyu’s medical treatment, he never intended to use all of it on her. Therefore, he must not tell his family about his trip to the capital.
After a while, he said, "I went to the city on a business trip and just came back."
Zhang Dongmei frowned deeper and asked again, "In other words, you came here without even going to the hospital?"
Feeling cornered by the question, Li Chenxuan started to panic and said, "Sister-in-law, stop changing the topic. I’m talking with my father, who do you think you are to keep intervening?"
When Li Chenze heard his second brother’s rude words to his wife, his face darkened and he said, "Li Chenxuan, pay attention to your tone when you talk to your sister-in-law! Apologize to your sister-in-law!"
With Li Chenze’s warning, Li Chenxuan’s momentum weakened. Although he was reluctant, he still said, "Sister-in-law, I’m sorry."
Now that she had apologized, Zhang Dongmei didn’t want to prolong the matter anymore and said, "Second brother, we didn’t lie to you. The hospital has even issued a death certificate."
