Two Families Meet

Granny was gone.

The world seemed to collapse in on itself. She had never known the love of a father or the sweet affections of a mother growing up. Granny had raised her singlehandedly. She was the lone pillar of support holding up the sky for the past eighteen years of her life. She had never imagined the day would come when Granny would... pass on.

That day had arrived.

The world spun out of focus and darkness claimed her.

"Beibei!" Gong Yi rushed forward and swept her into his arms.

...

Granny was buried. Kneeling in front of her grandmother's grave, Bai Beibei swallowed her tears. Braided in her hair were small white lilies. She had lost a lot of weight since the death of her grandmother.

Sun Xiaoxiao placed a bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone. She looked at the frozen smile on her mother's face and asked, "Beibei, did Granny mention anything about me before she departed?"
