Reborn with the Infinite World Panel-Chapter 116 - 115: Daily Life 42

Zhao Yueyi still wanted to chat with Nan Chu, but Nan Chu’s phone rang.

Zhao Yueyi then returned to her room.

It was a call from Si Junyan.

"Honey, there’s an elder on my mother’s side, not in good health, and they wish to see you."

"Is it urgent?"

"A bit urgent."

"Then I’ll ask the director for a day off tomorrow and head back to Beijing."

"Alright."

"Has filming been tiring lately?"

"Not really, it’s alright."

"And you, you haven’t forgotten my reminders, right? Have you been eating well?" Nan Chu asked.

"Don’t worry, honey, I’ve been eating well, I wouldn’t dare forget your reminders."

After chatting for a while, they hung up the phone.

Nan Chu called the director, and the director agreed to her taking leave. She booked a flight and returned to Beijing that night.

The next day, Si Junyan took Nan Chu to the elder’s house.

This elder was his mother’s uncle, already ninety-three years old.

Outside the community, Su He was waiting for them.

"This is Cousin Su He," Si Junyan introduced.

"Cousin Su," Nan Chu greeted.

"Hello, cousin-in-law," Su He said, leading the way. "This way."

The two followed Su He to the granduncle’s house.

"Dad, Cousin Si and the others have arrived."

Su Qin greeted them and said, "Nan Chu, do have a look, how much longer does your granduncle have?"

Nan Chu entered the room and saw her granduncle surrounded by an aura of death, his time was almost up.

With a heavy expression, Nan Chu said, "It could be a matter of three to four hours."

Dying at an old age can also be considered a joyful event.

"Uncle should call the family back to see granduncle one last time."

Su Qin whispered, "Aren’t you a magician, Nan Chu? Isn’t there any medicine to extend life? I don’t want your granduncle to die."

[This old guy, although he has left a will, it donates his wealth to charitable organizations, leaving nothing for him. We can’t let this old guy just die like that.]

[I must make this old guy redo his will.]

Hearing Su Qin’s inner thoughts, Nan Chu gave a feigned smile and said, "Uncle, there’s no such miraculous medicine."

"What about forbidden techniques? I heard you magicians can use forbidden techniques to extend life. Uncle will pay to extend your granduncle’s life."

"I’m a righteous cultivator; those sinister forbidden techniques, I do not know," Nan Chu said. "Granduncle passing away is a natural end, a happy one. Forcing an extension of life could cause him to be entangled in karma, which is not good." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

[Since Nan Chu is unwilling, it seems like I’ll have to find someone else.]

[Or, force the old guy to redo a will before he’s dead.]

"Nan Chu, Junyan, sorry for the trouble," Su Qin said insincerely. "Ahe, take your cousins to sit next door."

The next door was also their house, convenient for when they came back to visit.

Nan Chu said, "Let’s just stay here and keep granduncle company."

Leaving was out of the question; she wouldn’t let that uncle force granduncle to redo his will.

Nan Chu and Si Junyan didn’t leave, so Su Qin couldn’t forcefully drive them away.

He paced anxiously in the living room, then called other family members, thinking that when more people arrived, they could distract Nan Chu and Si Junyan.

Then he could make the old guy redo the will.

After about an hour, Su Family members arrived one after another.

The three elders came with ulterior motives; they all wanted Su Hua to redo his will.

But Nan Chu and Si Junyan stayed by Su Hua’s side, and no matter how these elders persuaded, Nan Chu and Si Junyan wouldn’t leave.

After a fuss, the elders left the room first.

When they had left, Su Hua opened his eyes.

"I’m sorry you had to see such a scene." Su Hua spoke slowly, "My three children are all ungrateful. Throughout my life, I haven’t done anything wrong to anyone, but I didn’t expect heaven to send such children to torment me."

"Cause from the past life, effect in this life," Nan Chu’s cool voice sounded.

"So, it’s karma from a past life," Su Hua laughed. "I have already made my will; it will be all donated to charity when the time comes."

"As for the three children, they have already received what they deserved."

Su Hua rambled on for a while, perhaps sensing his approaching end, he asked Si Junyan to bring others into the room. "I’m dying; when I’m dead, cremate me and bury me with your mom."

"I promised your mom that we would be buried together after death."

"Your mom never got to enjoy her life, she passed away from illness. It’s my fault, making her wait for so many years."

After speaking, Su Hua slowly closed his eyes.

Nan Chu said, "Granduncle has passed away."

Because Nan Chu had already seen the ghost messenger taking Su Hua’s soul away.

The ghost messenger recognized Nan Chu and nodded at her.

Nan Chu performed a spell, and an object appeared in the ghost messenger’s hand.

The ghost messenger glanced at the object and understood Nan Chu’s intention, smiled slightly, and left with Su Hua’s soul.

Nan Chu looked at the three elders, who were all in shock, eyes filled with various emotions but devoid of sorrow.

Meanwhile, the younger generation, including Cousin Su, wore expressions of sadness.

Although Su Qin and others found it hard to accept Su Hua’s death, they couldn’t do anything now that he was gone.

They could only begin arranging Su Hua’s funeral.

And that night, Nan Chu had already rushed back to Shanbei to continue filming.

After three months of shooting, they finally reached the later parts of the storyline.

Nan Chu had makeup applied to appear elderly.

First, they filmed a scene of her riding the train with her child, the train being just one carriage packed with people.

The carriage was being pulled by a vehicle.

...

Upon leaving the train station, Nan Chu took a bus with her child, heading toward the nearest hospital.

Two stops later, Zhuang Xianghui, played by Zhao Yueyi, boarded the bus.

She dressed very intellectually, wearing glasses, exuding a different kind of aura.

After getting on the bus, Zhuang Xianghui didn’t notice Lai Daiman played by Nan Chu, until getting off when she stopped and saw Lai Daiman.

"Is that Aman?"

"Xianghui."

"It is you." Zhuang Xianghui walked up to Lai Daiman, "How did you become so old?"

"All for a living." Nan Chu’s hoarse voice responded, "Are you well?"

"I am well; I’m teaching at Beijing University now."

"And you? Why are you in Beijing?"

"This is my daughter; she has a brain tumor. I’m bringing her to Beijing for treatment."

Her in-laws didn’t agree with spending so much on a daughter’s treatment, but her husband stood by her this time, willing to treat their daughter, not wanting her to die so young.

So, the two of them borrowed money from family and friends, and she brought the money to Beijing for her daughter’s treatment.

"I know a doctor at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Cancer Hospital. It was established in 1958 and is a very famous cancer hospital. Why don’t I take you there?"

"That would be immensely helpful."

Under Zhuang Xianghui’s guidance, Lai Daiman and her daughter arrived at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Cancer Hospital.

After reaching the hospital, the filming ended.

The crew began adjusting lights and equipment, preparing for the next shooting location at the hospital.
