Chapter 1080. Kinship and Loyalty 5
“How are things at home?” Mu Yuchen immediately asked, lowering his gaze so that Ah Mo could not read his eyes.
“Grandfather’s not too great. Yesterday he locked himself in the study room as soon as we got home. He didn’t say a word or let us in. Father was worried that something might happen, so he pried open the door and saw that he had just been flipping through Grandmother’s old pictures. He seemed out of it. They got the doctor to give him a sedative before he fell asleep. When I went over today, he was still asleep,” Ah Mo said with a solemn tone.
“Lingshi’s crumbled. She keeps shouting about wanting to look for Gu Qiwu to settle the score, but…Father’s been holding back his pain and consoling them. I’m afraid that the funeral arrangements…”
“I’ve already gotten Li Si to settle the funeral arrangements. See if we can just skip the memorial service. Grandmother was indifferent to worldly rewards her whole life. I think if it wouldn’t be nice to have it so large-scale. Let’s just let her leave quietly. Zimo, help me oversee this. Ah Mo, you take good care of Lingshi. This thing has nothing to do with her, so tell her not to overthink it.”
Mu Yuchen obviously knew Mu Lingshi well. She would probably be blaming herself for what happened even if was not her fault. After all, who could have thought that Gu Qiwu and Mu Zi were indeed her biological parents?
Ah Mo obviously knew what Mu Yuchen was thinking, so he quickly nodded. “Don’t worry, Bro. Miss Ji is with her at Mother’s place. I’ve been sharing the burden in hopes that it will make her feel better.”
Mu Yuchen set down the teacup in hand as he responded, “Go over and take a look at the situation on Li Si’s end.”
Ah Mo thought about it for a while before he said, “Yes, Bro! But I think that it won’t be possible to skip the memorial service, I’ll do my best to keep it within controlled parameters, so don’t worry. I’ll get this done properly.”
“Chen, just let me and Ah Mo worry about this. I don’t think you’re doing too well, so just rest. I think the memorial service will probably be tomorrow. Li Si’s already in contact with the people from the military district, and they’ll get into an agreement soon. As for the news about Grandmother’s passing, we can announce that this afternoon,” Zhou Zimo spoke carefully in a lowered tone.
