Chapter 1204: Chapter 1204: Xingxing in Trouble

Days quickly approached the date set for Shen Mianmian’s wedding. After the film shoot wrapped up, she slept until 7:30 every morning. He Nan was responsible for picking up and dropping off He Xiaobei for school, and the house had been renovated. She didn’t have much to do other than look around at furniture and go shopping with Yang Xiaoxi.

That day, just like any other, Shen Mianmian got up, ate breakfast, and casually glanced at the newspaper. However, as soon as she unfolded the newspaper, she was arrested by a headline that jumped out at her.

[Designer Tang Ling, back after five years of disappearance, loses child in a car accident after just over a month]

Rubbing her eyes to make sure she wasn’t seeing things, Shen Mianmian continued to read the smaller print. It detailed how yesterday afternoon, on the way home from school, Xingxing suddenly ran towards the center of the road and was hit by a speeding car, dying instantly on the scene.

The paper included a few photos from the site of the accident.

The figures of Tang Ling’s mother and father were clearly present.

Shen Mianmian’s heart instantly plummeted. Xingxing died in a car accident?

Such a young child, born into such unfortunate circumstances, only to face a car accident less than two months after returning home. The heavens were too unfair to this child; she hadn’t even had a proper look at the world.

Shen Mianmian was not a person who often felt overwhelmed with sympathy, but she felt a real ache this time. She called He Nan, and as soon as the call connected, she directly asked: "Big Brother He, have you seen the newspaper?"

"I have." He Nan’s voice was heavy, betraying his current mood was deeply upset, "I’m planning to go to her family’s house."

After a moment of thought, Shen Mianmian said, "I’ll come with you!"

"Wait at home for me; I’ll come to pick you up," He Nan said.

After hanging up, Shen Mianmian still felt very heavy-hearted and had no appetite for breakfast. As she was about to clear up the dishes, Yang Xiaoxi and Cheng Feiyang suddenly arrived. Xiaoxi spoke anxiously as soon as she reached the door.

"Mianmian, have you seen this morning’s newspaper?"

"I have." Shen Mianmian pointed to the newspaper on the stone table, "I just called Big Brother He, and we’ll go over to see them later."

Yang Xiaoxi felt deeply uncomfortable, "Xingxing was so young, how could such a thing happen to her? It’s just too sad."

Although she had previously been somewhat indifferent to Xingxing since her mother was Tang Ling, she didn’t wish any harm upon the child, who was still so little.

Shen Mianmian sighed, "Fortune and disaster are unpredictable, as are the joys and sorrows of human life; no one would wish for such things to happen. Let’s hope that she doesn’t suffer as much in her next life."

"We’ll go with you guys," Cheng Feiyang suggested.

"Sure."

Shen Mianmian nodded in agreement.

When He Nan returned, they all went to the Tang Family’s home together. Since Xingxing was just a child, her remains were sent to the funeral parlour on the day of the accident and cremated early the following morning. The Tang Family reached out to Tang Ling, but she responded indifferently, saying:

"Dead is dead. Even telling me, I can’t bring her back to life. She was never supposed to come into this world; it’s better that she’s gone."

Tang Ling’s parents hadn’t expected her to be so cold-blooded, but they were too heartbroken at that moment to quibble with her.

Xingxing was too young for a funeral, so they bought a burial plot for her. When He Nan and the others arrived, Tang Ling’s parents were just preparing to take Xingxing to her final resting place, so they all went together.

The presence of others brought some small consolation to Tang Ling’s mother and father.

Relatives felt that it was inauspicious for someone as young as Xingxing to be part of such a ceremony and were unwilling to show up. So aside from He Nan and his companions, it was only the couple who were present.
