Chapter 2121: Chapter 2123: The World Has Changed

Cheng Su lay on the bed and let out a long sigh. Organizing the funeral was truly exhausting. Although there was help, some things could only be done by her as the eldest daughter-in-law, including keeping vigil.

After all, she was already past fifty, her energy not what it used to be.

"Have some water," Qi Taiguo handed her a glass of water.

Cheng Su got up to drink, and sighed, "Age has really caught up, truly exhausting."

"You’ve worked hard!" Qi Taiguo placed his hands on her shoulders, massaging either lightly or heavily.

Over the years, the parents grew older and later fell ill, the mother even developed dementia, failing to recognize anyone. A caretaker was hired, but they still required frequent visits.

As for Cheng Su, ever since the kidnapping incident, although she rarely spoke with her mother, not a single responsibility slipped away from her, and she was very attentive in her care.

In recent years, with the parents passing away one after the other, no matter how tiring, it was just for this one time.

"There was help, it wasn’t particularly tiring, just getting older, with less energy," Cheng Su said with a smile.

"If you’re old, then I’m even older?" Qi Taiguo kneaded her shoulders, he was already sixty.

"We’re both getting old!" Cheng Su slightly tilted her head.

Qi Taiguo said, "Originally, it didn’t feel like it, but now seeing Xiao Qi, it feels like we’re truly aging."

"Yeah, that’s what they call ’no comparison, no harm’!" Cheng Su replied.

"In another two years he’ll be thirty, hasn’t even brought a girlfriend home yet. You should urge him a bit," Qi Taiguo said, "Even though Qi Yan is a bit of a playboy, at least he’s a normal kid who likes girls. Do you think he...?"

Cheng Su raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Ayo, you’re anxious to have a grandson, why not push him yourself?"

"He’s always been closer to you, besides, the father-son conversation feels somewhat awkward."

"But your concern for his lifelong matters is only natural, you’re his dad," Cheng Su chuckled, "Moreover, I don’t find him abnormal, just that the timing isn’t right."

Qi Taiguo murmured, "When has he ever listened to me? Even as a child, he was opinionated, but your words, he’ll heed them a bit."

"The son is grown now, not to mention he was quite opinionated as a child, only more so now, so let him be. I see him as mindful of his own affairs," Cheng Su sighed, "The world nowadays is already different from our time, you know this."

Qi Taiguo knew, that’s why he felt the misery unspoken.

Decades ago, he had heard about this era from Cheng Su, and now seeing it, it was indeed unchanged.

"Time flies, like a blink of an eye, decades have passed," Qi Taiguo sat down on the bed, lightly sighed.

"Indeed!"

The couple sat side by side, each reflecting.

In the blink of an eye, decades had passed, they braved the storms together, he smoothly advanced in politics, she courageously fought in the business world, yet neither had ever held the other back, instead, they supported each other hand in hand.

Cheng Su suddenly paused from rubbing her knee, her face changed slightly a few times.

"What’s wrong?" Qi Taiguo watched her daze.

Cheng Su looked at him and said, "This year, is the end of ’16."

Qi Taiguo was startled.

She meant, the date of her previous life’s fall from the building was near, it would be next year.

Qi Taiguo grasped her hand, "Don’t think too much, everything is already different, plus, Nianxin is already married."

Cheng Nianxin’s husband is Luh Wei, the son of Luh Kai.
