Xu Xiuxiu needed to pass through the Xu Family's main hall to get to Mr. Xu's room, perhaps due to the urgency of Mrs. Xu's accident, the table in the hall was still cluttered with messy dishes, some spoiled and some gone sour. Xu Xiuxiu frowned at the sight, then headed towards the corridor without further ado, unaware of what had happened, Mrs. Xu had suddenly passed away, and even upon returning, there wasn't time to tidy up these things.
"Dad, come out and eat something, please!" Xiuxiu exclaimed, "I know you're grief-stricken and heartbroken since mom passed, but no matter what, the living must go on. If mom knew, she would be upset too, because she cared about you the most. Besides, we need to prepare for mom's funeral tonight. Can you at least show up and say a few words to the family elders?"
Xiuxiu hadn't even reached Mr. Xu's doorway when around the corner of the hallway, she heard Xu Fangfang trying to comfort their father with considerable effort.
