4. Scum Dad Who Isn’t Scum (4)

 

According to Secretary Liu’s notes, Chief Wei said that he had to go to the grave at least once a week, which was merely her smallest estimate.

When the company did a big business deal and the project is finished, Chief Wei would always go to tell his wife and daughter about it. Especially on his days off, he can sit in front of the tombstone for the whole day.

The day of the festival, he would often pick the roses he had been planting; cut off the sharp thorns one by one, insert them in a beautiful vase and put them in front of the tomb.

A vase of red roses and a vase of yellow roses were planted by his own hands and never touched by others.

Panpan has checked, red roses represent love and yellow roses represent guilt.

According to Lu Lin, Chief Wei always felt guilty about his little daughter because she never even had a name when she died.

When Wei Mingyan was visiting the grave, Qiao Panpan stood far away.

She saw the gentle and powerful man holding a clean towel in his hand, wiping the tombstone carefully and gently. From this direction, Panpan could not see what was written on the tombstone, but she could clearly see the tenderness in Wei Mingyan’s eyes.

The handsome man wiped the tombstone and put two vases of flowers neatly.

It’s said the bodies could not be found because of how severe the fire was. This is only a cenotaph, in which there are clothes newly bought by Wei Zong for his wife and daughter, and a handful of ashes grabbed from the burnt room.

One time, because Chief Wei was too woeful, he had fainted in front of the tombstone and was sent to the hospital. So now, Qiao Panpan stood in the distance to watch over him.

She looked at the man who always smiled gently; answered questions without hesitating to teach her, her superior, speaking to the tombstone. At some point, the strong leader, who is always stable and calm, shook his shoulders and cried with his head lowered.

The existence that is so powerful in the company that almost every employee admires, is crying.

The wind sent the man’s voice far away. His usual gentle voice choked slightly at the moment. She heard word by word.

“Today, father will tell my little darling a story about sleeping beauty. Once upon a time, there was a kingdom…”

He spoke tirelessly, without reading the words. It was obvious that the stories were printed in his mind. Qiao Panpan watched Wei Mingyan tell his deceased daughter one fairy tale after another. His voice was hoarse and his eyes were sour.

They said, before Chief Wei left home, he promised to buy fairy tale books for his daughter and beautiful clothes for his wife. He did…

But when he returned home, he was confronted with the devastation and death of his wife and daughter.

In the end, the man’s original magnetic and pleasant voice was hoarse. He coughed twice and looked pale. From the bag he had been carrying, he took out a beautiful dress.

Knowing that his wife could not see it, he looked at the tombstone and said with a tearful smile, “Look, this year’s most popular dress, I specifically asked Assistant Liu about them, saying that this dress is famous for its beauty, and women like it.”

Saying that, he prepared a lighter. In front of the tombstone, lit this beautiful dress that can make all women’s eyes shine, on fire.

“When you followed me those days, you didn’t even have a nice dress. Every time I went out, I told you I would buy it for you, but every time I came back, I didn’t buy it. Later, I went to the big city and made a lot of money. I bought many beautiful clothes, which were the best and most popular. I thought at that time, you look much better than those models, you must look very good on them. I also bought rattle drums and fairy tale books for the little darling. At that time, when I bought them, I thought that other children had some and our little darling also wanted to have some. I bought and bought a lot of them, thinking that you must be very happy … But when I came back, when I came back … ”

The man sat on his knees without thinking of his image, holding the tombstone and weeps bitterly.

“I want you to be happy, I want you and little darling to have a good life you left. If I knew that you would die at home, even if I had to be poor all my life, I wouldn’t go!”

Qiao Panpan saw Chief Wei’s hands shaking, taking out the beautiful clothes; one by one, and burning them after they were displayed.

Every time; after burning one, the handsome man with tears on his face smiled at the tombstone and praised it with tears. “Wife, you look great in this dress. I like it very much.”

Qiao Wan’s eyes have been tinged red for a long time. She looks at the man who had tears in his eyes while smiling. Somehow, she hopes there really is a gentle woman opposite him, trying on beautiful clothes again and again.

She would ask, “Husband, do I look good in this dress?”

There was only a cold tombstone in front of him. The handsome man’s face was full of tears. He choked and squeezed out a smile. “It’s so beautiful, wife…”

Sure enough, as Assistant Liu said, Chief Wei wasn’t willing to go back until dark. During this, he was telling his wife and daughter what happened during this period. How well the company developed, how beautiful the flowers he planted were. Tomorrow, he will bring them to see.

Qiao Panpan watched Wei Mingyan speak tirelessly all day. Talking about the trifles of life, talking about small things in life and their past. Although she also spent a day in front of the tombstone not eating, her heart was warm.

Anyway, it always makes people feel better seeing a good man who is sentimental and righteous.

When the two returned to the car, Wei Mingyan changed back to the mild and calm Wei Mingyan.

He said with some regret, “I’m so sorry to have starved you all day. I’ll treat you to a delicious meal later.”

At this point, the handsome man pressed his stomach painfully and said with a wry smile, “The stomach is starting to hurt again. Looks like you’re going to have a light meal with me.”

As a personal assistant, Qiao Panpan has long noticed that Wei Mingyan has been covering his stomach. She quickly took out stomach medicine and water from her bag and handed it to the man, “Chief Wei, take medicine first.”

It’s not that she didn’t want to let a man eat dinner, but Assistant Liu’s note clearly stated that when Chief Wei was visiting the grave, he should never be disturbed unless it was dark.

Qiao Panpan is young and it’s nothing to be hungry for a day. Wei Mingyan has stomach problems.

Seeing the man take the medicine to eat, Qiao Panpan felt a little relieved.

She took care of Chief Wei because of her duty at the beginning, then after getting along with him for several days and getting a lot of care from this elders, her care was much more sincere.

Because Wei Mingyan had stomach problems, the restaurant they went to was famous for tonic and medicated food. The two people and the driver sat together for dinner and chatted from time to time.

Although Wei Mingyan is a big boss, he was never haughty. He heard that Panpan has a sick mother in her family. After asking the restaurant boss about the medicated diet, he bought a nutritious medicinal meal for Qiao Panpan and let her bring to her mother.

Finally, the driver was asked to take her to the hospital gate first.

“It’s so late now, it’s not safe for a girl to go back by herself. Why don’t we wait for you?”  The handsome man stood worried by the side of the car.

Panpan smiled gratefully. “Thank you, Chief Wei. It’s okay. I’ll sleep next to my mother in the hospital tonight.”

“Okay, go ahead.” Hearing her sleep in the hospital, Wei Mingyan was obviously relieved.

Panpan entered the gate, and when she looked back, she found that the handsome man had been standing and watching her. When he saw her enter the hospital waving, he was relieved and return to the car.

As the car drove away, Panpan felt warmth in her heart.

He is really a very good elder.

 

She went upstairs happily with her medicinal meal, pushed open the door of the ward. She saw her mother sitting on the bed weakly; watching the flower show on TV, and walked over with a smile.

“Mom, I brought you a medicated meal. It’s delicious.”

Even afflicted by illness, the graceful and beautiful woman with a pale face looked at the flowers on TV and murmured, “Your father said he would bring me roses back.”

Qiao Panpan had long been used to her mother’s memory of the man. She calmly took out the medicinal meal; her smile was no longer as brilliant as it had just been.

“Okay, Mom. Come and eat.”

She was too lazy to remind her mother that the man had left their mother and daughter, and would never come back.

Anyway, Mom won’t believe it.
