Chapter 2216 Two Words

"what is the answer?"

Boss Bai looked at the old man and asked about his doubts.

……

The old man's eyelids drooped.

A deep sigh was heard.

Looking at the jade in his hand, a look of confusion, loss and melancholy appeared on his face.

"grandfather……"

It was the first time that Boss Bai saw Grandpa look like this.

No.

It should be said that the grandfather he saw after the jade ball was separated was the grandfather he had never seen before.

"If you don't want to say..."

He didn't want the old man to be so distressed.

The old man shook his head.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to say…

"… just some old things…"

……

Old story?

Boss Bai listened in silence.

……

The old man pursed his lips.

It's been a long time since I told anyone about this...

"I have a brother..."

"elder brother?"

Boss Bai couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

"I do not know how?"

……

"Don't talk about you..."

The old man smiled and said, "Even your father doesn't know."

……

what?
Boss Bai opened his mouth wide.

Even his father doesn’t know?
"why?"

he asked blurtly.

Is it...

Many guesses flashed through his mind in an instant.

……

"Because he had been..."

The old man said slowly, "At that time, I was just a high school student..."

"He was hit by a car..."

"There was a lot of blood."

"grandfather."

Boss Bai held the old man's trembling hand.

……

"I am fine."

The old man gave a somewhat forced smile.

"…rescue failed…death."

"I still remember the doctor's look when he told us the news."

“I remember my mother crying.”

"I remember the sound of my father punching the wall hard..."

……

“We were sad for a long time.”

The old man lowered his eyes and seemed calm.

But the voice was trembling.

……

"Besides being sad and upset... I was also really angry and disappointed with myself."

The old man clasped his fingers together.

"I know, I'm not as smart as my brother..."

"I never thought this would make me..."

The old man took a breath, "Being so angry with yourself."

……

"grandfather?"

Boss Bai didn't quite understand, "Was Grandpa's car accident... an accident?"

……

"Ah."

The old man replied in a low voice, "It was an accident."

"My brother was walking without paying attention to the traffic lights and was hit by a speeding vehicle."

……

Boss Bai's doubts grew instead of diminishing, "Then..."

What was the reason for the regret, disappointment, and anger that the old man mentioned before?
Wasn’t Bogong’s car accident just an accident?

……

The old man looked down at the jade in his hand.

"...It just so happened that I passed by the place where my brother had the accident."

"I saw my brother lying in a pool of blood."

“…I saw my brother for the last time.”

"Mom and Dad didn't even get to see my brother for the last time."

……

"My brother is seriously injured."

“I was panicking and scared.”

"My mind went blank."

"…It was a kind person on the street who helped call an ambulance."

"When I got in the ambulance, I felt a little relieved at that moment."

"I thought as long as I got in the ambulance and there was a doctor by my side..."

"Brother will be fine."

"It's really the naive thinking of a child."

The old man smiled self-deprecatingly.

……

"Grandpa." This was the first time that Mr. Bai, who had been in the business world for many years, felt that he was not good at speaking.

"fine."

The old man patted his grandson's hand and said, "It happened many years ago."

"only……"

"But I still have a regret in my heart."

……

"Pity?"

Boss Bai has a feeling.

Many of his doubts were about to be resolved.

……

"Ah."

The old man nodded, "What a pity."

"In the ambulance that year, my brother actually said his last words to me."

Final words…

"Legacy-"

Boss Bai's voice suddenly stopped.

Is it not nice to leave a last word?
……

“I didn’t react at that time…”

At that time, if his brother hadn't been too persistent, he wouldn't have wanted his brother to speak at all.

"Then I realized..."

"Ah, those were my brother's last words."

"Only two words of last words."

……

"Two words?"

Boss Bai was surprised.

It seems that Uncle Gong was really seriously injured at that time.

He only left two words as his last words?
"Which two words?"

He was a little curious.

……

"Jade-ball."

The old man spoke word by word.

……

"Jade-ball?"

Boss Bai felt a little absurd.

Why is it a jade ball again? !
……

"This jade ball..."

The old man put the two halves of the jade back together into a ball, "It was originally my brother's."

……

Although he had a vague guess, Boss Bai was still surprised.

"This jade ball belongs to Uncle?!"

……

"Yes."

The old man looked at the jade ball with a complicated look in his eyes. "I only found this jade ball when I was cleaning up my brother's room after he passed away."

"I didn't know my brother had such a jade ball before."

"So, I didn't understand what my brother said to me in the ambulance at all."

"Of course, I didn't understand it later."

The old man smiled bitterly, "I thought that if I found the jade ball, I would understand what my brother meant by that..."

“It turns out it wasn’t.”

"The last two words that my brother had to tell me... Jade Ball... I have no idea what my brother wanted to say."

"What does he want from me?"

"I thought about it for a long, long time."

"Mom and Dad gave up."

"I just thought it was something my brother said casually."

“But I know it’s not.”

"How could those two words my brother used up his last bit of strength to tell me be meaningless?"

The old man's tone was a little excited.

"Those two words are my brother's last words."

……

"grandfather."

Boss Bai patted the old man's back gently to help him calm down, "Don't get excited."

"Your present body is not the same as before."

“Be more careful.”

……

The old man slumped his shoulders. “If it were my brother, he would definitely understand what I mean…”

"But I racked my brains...but I just don't understand what my brother means..."

"...I am such a useless brother..."

"I can't even understand my brother's thoughts..."

……

"grandfather."

Boss Bai comforted the old man, "If you only have two words...it's too embarrassing."

……

The old man shook his head.

"I'm stupid..."

“I gave up on that later.”

"I have to give up..."

"Later, your father saw the jade ball and liked it very much, so I gave it to your father."

“That was many years later.”

……

"I didn't tell your father that he had an uncle."

"Even the fact that the jade ball belonged to his uncle was not told to him."

The old man thought of his grandson's initial question and said, "That's not necessary."

"After all, there is no intersection between them..."

"My brother has been gone for so many years..."
