Don't meet me in your next life.

Xiang Yi stood helplessly at the door of the emergency room, her eyes red and pacing anxiously.

To calm herself down, she tried calling Lin Lubai again, but still couldn't get through.

The dial tone on the other end of the phone made her feel even more helpless.

She didn't know what to do. Helpless, she called her best friend, and the moment the call connected, she burst into tears.

Xiao Qing was sleeping soundly when she heard Xiang Yiyi crying. Without thinking twice, she immediately changed her clothes, got up, and rushed to the hospital.

When Xiao Qing arrived, it was already slightly dawn. Xiang Yi sat blankly at the entrance of the emergency room.

Seeing Xiang Yiyi like this, Xiao Qing hugged her with heartache.

"Did you call Lin Lubai? This is such a big thing, you should tell him," Xiao Qing asked her.

“I called all day yesterday and again today, but I can’t get through. Lu Sichen said he lost his phone,” Xiang Yiyi said.

"Lost your phone? You would have replaced the SIM card right away. Are you trying to hide from me?" After saying that, Xiao Qing realized what she meant and quickly patted her mouth.

"I'm sorry, Yi Yi. I..." Xiao Qing apologized to Yi Yi.

"There's nothing to apologize for, I've thought about that too."

"Of all those days, he only texted me on the first day. I came to the hospital as soon as I got up that day and didn't reply to him. Then, starting the next day, I couldn't get through to his phone, and I didn't see him text me again." Xiang Yi felt a little disheartened.

"Yi Yi, why is your life so miserable?" Xiao Qing hugged her.

“It’s alright, he doesn’t want the child, I’ll raise it myself. I just hope Grandma is alright, she’s my only remaining family, I can’t live without her.” Xiang Yi said, her eyes filled with tears.

"Grandma will be alright," Xiao Qing comforted Xiang Yiyi.

As the two were talking, the door to the emergency room opened, and all the doctors came out.

"How is my grandma?" Xiang Yi rushed over and asked the doctor.

"I'm sorry, we did our best. Please accept our condolences." A doctor bowed to her.

"No, no, it's impossible..." Xiang Yi shook her head, then fell straight down.

Fortunately, Xiao Qing reacted quickly and caught her. The male doctor immediately helped her onto the hospital bed and pinched her philtrum.

It took Xiang Yi a while to wake up.

Xiao Qing held her, unsure how to comfort her.

"Xiao Qing, I'm fine. Let me go see Grandma, she must miss me." Xiang Yi's face was covered in tears, but she didn't cry out loud.

Xiao Qing helped her to her grandmother's bedside, and Xiang Yi's tears streamed down her face.

"Grandma, how could you be so cruel as to leave me all alone in this world? What am I supposed to do without you?" Xiang Yi said, sobbing.

She clung to her grandmother and refused to let go.

Xiao Qing had never seen such a scene before, and she burst into tears. Ignoring the fact that it was only dawn, she called Lu Sichen.

"Lu Sichen, come quick, Grandma Yi is gone," Xiao Qing said, crying.

Without saying a word, Lu Sichen called his housekeeper, Uncle Zhang, and headed straight to the hospital.

"Yi Yi, don't do this. Come on, let's let Grandma rest in peace." When Lu Sichen arrived at the hospital and saw Yi Yi, his heart ached.

"No, Grandma won't abandon me," Xiang Yi said, crying.

"No, Grandma won't abandon you. She's watching over you from heaven," Lu Sichen comforted her.

"Yi Yi, please accept my condolences. I'll be worried about you even if you leave this world. Be a good girl, Yi Yi, let me go in peace." Lu Sichen comforted her.

Lu Sichen pulled her into his arms, and Xiang Yiyi's whole body went limp, without any strength at all.

Seeing Xiang Yiyi like this, Lu Sichen's heart was bleeding.

"Uncle Zhang, thank you for your help." Lu Sichen turned to Uncle Zhang and said.

Uncle Zhang made arrangements for Liu Xiuzhen's funeral, which was scheduled for the next day. Lu Sichen and Xiao Qing accompanied Xiang Yiyi.

Once Xiang Yiyi calmed down a bit, Lu Sichen took advantage of her inattention to call Lin Lubai, as it wouldn't be appropriate for him to be there in this situation.

However, after calling twice, the call still could not be connected.

"It's 9 a.m., they should be up by now. They should have bought a new phone by now. Could it be that they're deliberately not answering my calls?" Lu Sichen asked suspiciously.

"Grandpa, can you give me my brother's assistant Xiao Zhao's phone number? I need to talk to him urgently." Lu Sichen dialed his grandfather's number.

"Didn't your brother call you yesterday?" Lu Yaodong asked.

"No, give me Xiao Zhao's phone number, I'll call him, I need to talk to him urgently." Lu Sichen said anxiously.

"Okay." Lu Yaodong handed the phone number to Lu Sichen.

"Thank you, Grandpa." Lu Sichen quickly hung up the phone.

Lu Yaodong found it strange; this was the first time Xiao Chen had been in such a hurry. Could something have happened?

Lu Sichen dialed Xiao Zhao's number again, but the call still wouldn't go through. He tried several more times, but still couldn't get through.

At that moment, he felt a little panicked. Could it be that something had happened to his brother as well?

"Grandpa, could you contact my brother's maternal grandfather and ask him to contact the people around my brother? I can't get through to the assistant either," Lu Sichen said anxiously to Lu Yaodong.

"Can't get through to the assistant either? Maybe the signal is bad somewhere. Why don't you try calling again later?" Lu Yaodong didn't take it seriously.

"Grandpa, please. Could you give me Grandpa's phone number so I can call him?" Lu Sichen just wanted to get in touch with Lin Lubai as soon as possible.

"Alright, alright, I'll give you the phone number, you can find it yourself." Lu Yaodong gave Lu Sichen the phone number of Lin Lubai's maternal grandfather.

"Grandpa, this is Xiao Chen. I can't get through to my brother or assistant. Could you please help me contact my brother? I need to talk to him urgently." Lu Sichen dialed the number of Lin Lubai's grandfather.

"Xiao Chen, is there something you need to see him about?" Grandpa asked.

"Yes, I have something urgent to discuss with him. Thank you for your help, Grandpa," Xiao Chen said politely.

"Okay, I'll contact them for you now. I'll let you know when I hear anything." Grandpa hung up the phone.

"Lin Xi, contact Xiao Bai. Xiao Chen needs to see him urgently." After hanging up the phone, Lin Lu Bai's grandfather instructed his son to go find Lin Lu Bai.

"Dad, today is the groundbreaking ceremony for Xiaobai's land in Jizhou. That area is just about to be developed and there's no signal coverage yet." Five minutes later, the uncle told his father the results.

"Okay, I'll talk to Xiao Chen and see what's gotten into him so urgently."

"Xiao Chen, I just had your uncle ask. Xiao Bai is in Jizhou. He went there early today for the groundbreaking ceremony. He probably won't get a signal until he gets back to the hotel this afternoon or evening." Grandpa called Lu Sichen.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Grandpa." Lu Sichen said with a hint of helplessness.

Lin Lubai woke up at 8 a.m. After having breakfast, he insisted on personally attending the groundbreaking ceremony.

This was his and his grandfather's wish; he wanted to see it for himself.

Having no other recourse, Xiao Zhao had no choice but to take his family doctor with him on the trip.

When he arrived at the construction site, the workers had already found his phone, but there was no internet, and he did not receive the messages from Xiang Yi.

With everything ready, the groundbreaking ceremony proceeded smoothly. By the time he finished the ceremony, it was already afternoon.
