Yan Yan - Chapter 57.2

Chapter 57.2

Su Zhan held the driver’s seat and the passenger’s seat and leaned forward. He looked at Bai Xingfan and said, “Brother-in-law, you are really good today. Everyone was settled just like that. You are my role model.”

Bai Xingfan said, “…“ ‘Is this a statue that people worship?’ He smiled and said, “Please sit properly.”

“Oh,” said Su Zhan as he sat back in the back seat. He continued, “I’m glad you’re here. Otherwise, they wouldn’t guard the spirit of my grandmother.”

Listening to her brother’s words, Su Yan said in a quiet voice, “So, only magic can defeat magic.”

Bai Xingfan looked at her with a confused expression on his face.

Su Zhan was also not sure what his sister said. “What are you trying to say?”

Su Yan: “Nothing.”

After they got to the funeral home, the family became busy again. They went to a store that sells things for funerals to buy stuff like flowers, signs, and white cloth. 

Then they started to decorate the room. 

After everything was ready, the obituary was published, and they informed others in the hometown by phone.

From morning to afternoon, many people came to offer their sympathies. Most of them were Su Jianan and Liu Xiang’s work colleagues and old friends.

After it got dark, the mourning hall was quiet. Liu Xiang told Bai Xingfan and Su Yan to go home and rest early. As long as Liu Xiang was there, Xiao Zhan would also be there.

Although Su Jianye and Chen Baihui were supposed to guard the spirit, the old woman’s elder son and elder daughter-in-law, Su Jianan and Liu Xiang, wanted to stay at the funeral home.

Su Yan was unsure, but Bai Xingfan did not hesitate. He said, “Sure.” He stood up and looked at Su Yan and said, “Let’s go home. You need to rest.” 

Under the gaze of her family, Su Yan had to get up from the chair and go with Bai Xingfan.

When Su Jianye and Chen Baihui saw Su Yan and Bai Xingfan leaving the mourning hall together, Chen Baihui yelled, “Where are you two going?”

Liu Xiang replied quickly, “I allowed them to go home.”

Chen Baihui was thinking of going home because there were young people at the funeral house.

Hearing Chen Baihui’s question, Bai Xingfan turned, looked at her, and said calmly, “You can talk like that again when Su Qian arrives.”

Chen Baihui: “Hey, what are you talking about? Qianqian couldn’t come because she is a civil servant and can’t take time off easily. If she could, she would definitely come. But Yanyan is different. She’s always at home with nothing to do. Why can’t she guard her grandmother?”

Su Yan knew what kind of people they were, so she didn’t even bother defending herself anymore.

But Bai Xingfan was different. He looked angry and gave Chen Baihui a cold stare. “She is a writer who earns money using her talent. She works hard and is no less humble than a civil servant.” Bai Xingfan did not stop there; his expression became more and more gloomy, and he warned Chen Baihui word by word. “It’s not your turn to point at people of the Bai family.”

Su Yan was shocked; she looked at him and felt sad inside. ‘He’s really nice to me and loves me a lot, but his love is so extreme that it could be called crazy. I cannot handle this crazy love.’

If their baby didn’t die before birth, would things be different?

But there was no “if” in this world.

She lost her child, and now she couldn’t lose herself.

So, she had to go away from him.

****

On their way home, she told Bai Xingfan once again, “Thank you.”

Bai Xingfan knew this “thank you” was not for him defending her in front of her aunt, but to show that she wanted to keep her distance from him.

In this way, she told him that she was not a member of the Bai family.

Bai Xingfan understood what she meant and reiterated. “I said, we...”

Su Yan knew what he wanted to say, but before he could say it, she sadly and firmly interrupted and said, “We are going to get divorced soon.”

Bai Xingfan became quiet and gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands. 

The neon lights blinked on and off, making the car’s interior light flicker.

After a while, he spoke again with his eyes a little red. He tried hard to control his emotions and said, “I love you so much.”

Su Yan’s eyes turned red, and her vision became blurry. “I don’t need you to love me. I just need you to let me go,” she muttered.
