Chapter 356: Mrs. Huo was cremated, and she was restless after death
Huo Qishan looked at the old house that was both familiar and unfamiliar, feeling very melancholy. He had not been back for many years.
Slowly, he withdrew his gaze.
The housekeeper behind him suddenly stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Master, the funeral home called again. Madam's body has been there for a long time. Why not cremate it?"
It's been over half a month, can't he be laid to rest?!
Ugh.....
"Forget it, no more waiting. Notify the funeral home and I'll be there right away."
He originally wanted to wait for Huo Beixiao to come before seeing Zhang Yi off. After all, she was his biological mother, and as her son, he had to see her off for the last time.
However, after waiting for so many days, he still didn't wake up or return to normal.
Huo Qishan has been here long enough, and the matter has been resolved. As long as he sends Zhang Yi away, everything will be over.
"I'm here." A male voice came from the door. Huo Beixiao was standing outside. Huo Qishan looked at his still indifferent son and could only smile...
He walked forward slowly and stood in front of Huo Beixiao: "Since you are here, come with me to the funeral home to see your mother off for the last time."
Huo Beixiao didn't respond when he heard this. Instead, he sat on the sofa and looked at Huo Qishan with cold eyes: "Do you think I will be able to see her off?"
He wished he could grind Zhang Yi into dust!
For so many years, she had not fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother, but he didn't care, didn't pay attention, and even let it go.
But she should never have let him fall into the abyss when he was having happiness.
She shouldn't have kidnapped Nian Nian, causing the plot to go to a point it shouldn't have gone, causing him and Nian Nian to separate... Obviously, Nian Nian had said in her heart that he and the heroine had been in love for two years.
But now it’s not even a year yet, isn’t this all her fault!
Why should he die for someone who destroyed his happiness?
Huo Qishan knew that Huo Beixiao had complaints in his heart, but... she was his biological mother after all, so could he really not go to send her off?
"Bei Xiao, I know you hate her, but when a person dies, all debts are settled, can't all the grudges just disappear like this?" Huo Qishan didn't know how to persuade his son. After all... he was also responsible for his son's current situation.
Huo Beixiao snorted coldly. He had never imagined that his biological father, whom he had only met a few times, would say such words one day. He sneered and asked in return, "Then can you forget the hatred you had before?"
Huo Qishan's face darkened instantly. He didn't expect Huo Beixiao to ask such a question.
"You ask too many questions. That's between your mother and me. You don't need to interfere."
The person was already dead, what else could he do? Should he drag her out and whip her corpse? He couldn't do that.
What's more, he no longer wanted to care about so much. What else could a dying person care about? !
Huo Beixiao sneered: "Then you don't need to ask about my affairs."
"You...are you going to hate her forever? She's already dead!"
"Shouldn't I hate her, and you too? You caused her lifelong tragedy, and also caused mine, preventing me from having happiness and causing Nian Nian... to leave here. Isn't it her fault?
So what if she's dead? Can that offset her sins? You're dreaming! Even if she's dead, I won't let her rest in peace!" Huo Beixiao was blinded by hatred. He was unwilling to let himself go, nor would he let go of the already dead Zhang Yi.
"The person is already gone. What can you do no matter how much you hate him? What can you do?" Huo Qishan didn't understand why he was unwilling to let go. Is it that difficult?
"There's nothing you can do. Just give me her ashes." Huo Beixiao's eyes were very cold. It was impossible for him to see him off for the last time: "I know you want to leave. If I hadn't been in a clear mind these past few days, I guess you wouldn't stay here.
If you want to go and see her off, I won't stop you. But after the cremation, give the ashes to me, and you can leave. You don't have to stay in the Imperial Capital anymore." Huo Beixiao's words were full of command.
It seems to be saying, if you don’t leave, I don’t mind giving you a ride.
Huo Qishan knew that the relationship between him and his son could not be repaired, and there was no need to waste any more emotions.
He also knew that he couldn't stop Huo Beixiao from doing what he wanted to do.
He left alone, but just as he reached the door, he turned and looked at his son: "You... Bei Xiao, no matter what, it is indeed my fault. If I hadn't been weak-willed and fell into your mother's trap, perhaps your tragedy wouldn't have happened. It's my fault."
This was all his fault, his problem, and he didn't know how to make up for it.
"This should be the last time I see you. From now on, you have to take good care of yourself, stop being willful, and live a good life with Nian Nian." He will never come back, and even... if he dies outside, there is no need for him to collect the body.
Huo Beixiao didn't say anything, just watched him leave quietly.
**
Three hours later, Huo Qishan got Zhang Yi's ashes. He didn't want to give them to Huo Beixiao, but... no one can change what Huo Beixiao has decided.
He handed the thing to Huo Beixiao, however, Huo Beixiao raised his hand carelessly. It was not known whether it was intentional or for some reason. When Huo Qishan let go of his hand, Huo Beixiao also inadvertently withdrew his hand, and the urn fell directly to the ground!
"Oh, sorry, my hand slipped." He lowered his eyes to glance at the ashes scattered on the ground, without a trace of guilt in his eyes.
"Huo Beixiao, you're going too far. She's your mother after all. Are you going to just scatter her ashes?"
Huo Qishan didn't expect Huo Beixiao to be so excessive. The ashes were scattered all over the floor, and he didn't even bend down to pick them up.
"I said I wouldn't let her rest in peace. Just letting her drift away with the wind is the most righteous thing I have done." According to his previous thoughts, he wanted to cook her ashes and feed them to the dogs.
He was not thinking about himself, but he thought that Nian Nian might be pregnant with his child, and he wanted to accumulate virtue for the child.
That's why he changed his mind... Otherwise, he really wanted Zhang Yi to experience what it felt like to have a restless soul.
He didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but at this moment, he hoped that Zhang Yi would not rest in peace after his death.
"You...you hate us so much?" Huo Qishan asked blankly.
"Yes, I hate you."
Huo Qishan laughed at himself. He knew the answer, but he still asked again. After all, they owed Huo Beixiao, so it was right for him to hate them.
"Okay, as long as you're happy."
So be it, he thought, no matter what he said, Huo Beixiao wouldn't listen, so there was no point in wasting his breath.
"You can leave now. You don't need to worry about the rest."
Huo Beixiao looked at Huo Qishan with cold eyes until he left.
Solved this one thing... One thing is not solved...
