Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 458
Chapter 458 Fit with a Heart
According to the rules, Gu Guangxian’s body should be parked in the funeral parlor for seven days before cremation. People came to offer their condolences every day. Even Xiao Meiyuan and Lu Haochen came over from Yawan.
Fang Yaru’s entire body has lost a circle of weight, and she sits in the spiritual hall with a mournful expression, looking at Gu Guangxian’s photo out of focus.
The people who came to offer condolences were all wearing black suits or dresses, and Gu Shanshan and Gu Niannian were wearing mourning clothes and kneeling to return the favor. Xiao Bo Nian and the servants in the house also wore white. As far as the eye can see, it is all a world of black and white, solemn and dignified, no one is loud and noisy, there are Taoist priests doing the doxology, but also chanting in a low voice, everything seems to be in order.
Lu Ding Shen pulled Lu Xiao Xian aside and whispered, “Why didn’t Cheng Rui Chang come?”
“I called him and he refused to come.” Lu Xiaoxian said, “And I don’t think Granny will want to see him.”
Lu Ding Shen sighed, “Obviously there are two sons, but in the end, there is not even one to see them off.”
Lu Xiaoxian said, “Dad, I’ve been away from the company for the past two days, Cheng Ruizhang hasn’t made any trouble, right?”
“No,” Lu Ding Shen said, “Don’t worry, I’ll watch him, nothing can happen.”
Lu Xiaoxian nodded and asked, “How’s the investigation into the cause of the fire at Gu’s Centennial Building going?”
“It hasn’t been finalized yet, the fire department is saying it could be a deteriorated electrical circuit, and we can’t rule out the human factor.”
“Do you think Cheng Rui Chang had something to do with the fire?”
Lu Ding Shen glanced at the crystal coffin placed in the center of the spirit hall from afar and shook his head, “It’s hard to say.”
Lu Xiaoxian lowered her eyes and was silent for a while, she raised her head and suddenly saw a shadow flashing outside the door, she moved in her heart and said, “Dad, I’ll go out for a while.” Saying that, she rushed to the door.
There is a large oval flower bed at one side of the entrance, which is planted with flowers and grasses, and there are also tall evergreen crown trees. Lu Xiaoxian looked around, did not see the person she thought, mocking breath, thought it was a mistake, was about to turn around and go in, suddenly saw a large tree under the exposure of a small half of the black shiny shoes. Obviously someone was there.
She quietly went around, and sure enough, it was Cheng Rui Chang.
He was wearing a black overcoat, with the black suit inside revealed in the open clothes, which set him off a bit thin. Standing idly behind a tree with his hands in his pockets, he was staring at a canopy of camellias in front of him, and didn’t avert his eyes even when he knew Lu Xiaoxian was coming over.
“Since you’re here, why don’t you go in?” Lu Xiaoxian asked him.
Cheng Rui Chang let out a light laugh, “Is it appropriate?”
“It’s appropriate if there’s a heart.”
Cheng Rui Chang shook his head, “It’s better to forget about it.”
Lu Xiaoxian found it strange, “What are you doing here if you’re not going to go in?”
Cheng Rui Chang gave her a look, “Lest you keep saying I’m cold-blooded.”
Lu Xiaoxian was silent for a while and asked, “What did you tell dad that day instead?”
“Didn’t say anything.”
“Didn’t say anything why is dad so agitated?”
Cheng Rui Zhang’s eyes flashed, “You guys are spying on me?”
“It’s mom’s idea, she’s afraid of you …”
“Afraid I’ll kill him?” Cheng Rui Chang laughed contemptuously, “You can tell her that I killed her husband, and she’ll be next.”
“I know you’re talking in anger,” Lu Xiaoxian said seriously, “Why can’t you let go of your grudge, dad is gone, but ShanShan is still your sister, she’s ShanShan’s mom, you should be nicer to her.”
“Being nice to a snake-hearted woman?” Cheng Rui Chang sneered, “You’re so amusing.”
“Mom she’s not what you say,” Lu Xiaoxian retorted, “You’re too paranoid, you should try to get along with people, try to dissolve the hatred, at least, ShanShan is willing to recognize you. Even if dad really did wrong you, but the grudges of the past, ShanShan didn’t get involved at all, you can’t beat all the Gu family to death with one stick, there’s still me.”
“You?” Cheng Rui Chang narrowed his eyes and laughed lightly, “You recognize me too?”
“Yes, you’re Nian Bin’s big brother, of course I recognize you.” Lu Xiaoxian took the opportunity to lobby him, “Go in and pay your respects, after all, it’s the father who gave you life.”
Cheng Rui Zhang looked at her as if he was somewhat moved.
Lu Xiaoxian clutched his sleeve, “Let’s go, dad will be happy to see you come.”
Cheng Rui Chang half pushed and half accepted, was pulled into the door by her, took a branch of white chrysanthemum according to the rules, circled around the coffin, and then stood there quietly looking at the man lying inside.
Gu Guangxian looked much better this way than he did in the hospital that day, with a red face and kind brows, as if he was just asleep.
He was pissed off by him, right? That day in the hospital deliberately said those words, just want to be angry with him, I did not expect to really be angry with him, finally avenged, thirty years, he has been thinking about this day, the great revenge has been avenged, he should be happy.
He came here because he wanted the relatives to suffer and the enemies to be happy, to see with his own eyes how Fang Yaru was grieving, so that she could also taste what it was like to lose a loved one. That woman was indeed emaciated beyond recognition, so painful, so mother of God painful!
But standing here, looking at Gu Guangxian lying in the crystal coffin, he didn’t have that kind of pain, as if he was frustrated, how is it so unfunny, he still has a lot of big moves yet to be released, how did he die?
Not to put Gu Guangxian tortured enough, he will not kill, how to know Gu Guangxian so unthinking, only just started, and cocked the pigtail. He was really disappointed! There wasn’t a bit of pleasure after killing his enemy.
After wrapping the coffin, he took an incense and went over to pay homage, someone was singing the name, Fang Yaru heard the three words Cheng Ruizhang, suddenly raised her head, her godless eyes suddenly had a luster, but it was deep hatred, she screamed, rushed up to Cheng Ruizhang and punched and kicked him, and pulled his hair, hysterical, like a madman.
Cheng Rui Zhang did not take precautions, was slapped by her and pulled her hair, immediately burst into a rage, twisted Fang Yaru’s arm backhandedly and was about to hit back with it. The people next to them had already swarmed up to pull them apart.
Fang Yaru screamed shrilly, “He’s the one who killed Guangxian, it’s him, he’s the murderer, he’s the one who killed Guangxian …”
Gu Shanshan and Xiao Bo Nian dragged Fang Yaru towards the inner room, Lu Ding Shen and Lu Haochen pulled Cheng Rui Chang outside, and Lu Xiao Xian followed at the side.
Cheng Rui Zhang quickly calmed down and broke away from the hands of Lu’s father and son, “I’ll walk on my own.” He also said to Lu Xiaoxian, “See, I said I wouldn’t come, but you favored me.”
Lu Xiaoxian said, “Please be considerate, mom, she had a moment of emotional excitement and acted excessively.”
Cheng Rui Chang smiled, “I’m not going to bother with her, I’m much more over the top than her behavior.” After saying that, he took big strides and left.
Lu Ding Shen frowned, “What does he mean by that? Could it be that Guangxian was really pissed off at him?”
“Dad, don’t talk nonsense about such things,” Lu Haochen told his father to go in with his sister.
Lu Xiaoxian was uneasy about Fang Yaru and ran in to check on her, but before she could enter the door, she heard her making a fuss in the house and asked loudly, “Who let him come? Who let him come?”
Lu Xiaoxian pushed the door in and said, “Mom, I asked him to come.”
“You? What did you let him come for?” Fang Yaru stared with a pair of scarlet eyes and shook her fragmented hair as she walked over and raised her slap, “Seeing that your father is gone, you hurried to show him favor, right?”
Lu Haochen, who followed her in from behind, hurriedly stopped her, his voice deep, “Auntie Gu, what are you doing?”
Lu Ding Shen, who came in together, was so angry that his face turned white, “Fang Yaru, what do you want to do? Hitting my daughter?”
Lu Xiaoxian was also taken aback, this time Fang Yaru had simply changed into a different person, her eyes flashed with a crazy light, making her very unfamiliar.
Gu Shanshan hurriedly rounded up the situation, “I’m sorry, my mom, she’s confused with anger, she didn’t mean to hit anyone, Xiao Xian, don’t take it personally.”
“I know,” Lu Xiaoxian walked towards Fang Yaru who was stopped by Lu Haochen, “Mom, I’m sorry, I …”
Lu Ding Shen pulled her back, “She’s going to hit you, why apologize?”
Fang Yaru sneered, “Good, once Guangxian died, one by two of you came to bully me, bullying us orphans and widows, Lu Xiaoxian, now that you have your father and brother to back you up, you don’t put me as your mother-in-law in your eyes!”
“No, mom, it’s not like that,” Lu Xiaoxian hurriedly explained, and said to Lu Ding Shen, “Dad, brother, you guys go out first, I’ll have a good talk with mom.”
“We’re not going out, if we do, will she still beat you?” Lu Ding Shen moved to the chair and looked at Fang Yaru with a cold expression.
Lu Xiaoxian’s head is big, in front of the funeral, this back again make trouble, or Gu Shanshan said, “Xiaoxian, you all go out, I’ll persuade mom.”
Lu Xiaoxian saw that Fang Yaru was still agitated, so he had to take his father and brother out.
As soon as he came out, Lu Ding Shen complained, “What’s going on with this Gu family, you work for them as a cow, and Fang Yaru actually wants to beat you? Xiao Xian, why don’t you just take Nian Nian and dad back to Ya Wan, don’t care about the Gu family.”
“Dad, I think Auntie Gu is a little out of her mind, probably because she’s been stimulated.”
“Yes, Dad, my mother-in-law isn’t usually like this, and her father-in-law’s departure was too much of a blow for her.” Lu Xiaoxian said, “Anyway, I won’t leave the Gu family, and I won’t leave Gu alone.”
Lu Ding Shen really want to be angry by her, for a moment can not care so much, “Xiao Xian, why are you obsessed, Nian Bin is no longer there, he has long gone to another world, with you alone how to hold up the Gu family? How can you fight with Cheng Ruizhang?”
Lu Xiaoxian stubbornly held her head high, “I can hold up the Gu family, and I don’t need to fight with Cheng Rui Chang, I’ll convince him to take good care of Gu. He’s Nian Bin’s big brother, with the Gu family’s blood flowing in his body, he won’t really not care about Gu Clan.”
Lu Ding Shen has never spoiled and favored his daughter, only this time his attitude was a little more severe, and he angrily threw his sleeve and walked away.
Lu Haochen looked at the father and daughter who were running away from each other, shook his head with a bitter smile, and caught up with Lu Xiaoxian, “Xiaoxian, why are you angry with dad? He’s doing it for your own good.”
“I know,” Lu Xiaoxian said, “That’s why I walk away and don’t argue with him.” She stood in the doorway, looking at the chrysanthemums swaying in the wind in the flower beds, and suddenly sighed, “Brother, too many things have happened in this period of time, I’m really a bit tired, it would be good if Nian Bin came back.”
Lu Haochen gently wrapped his arm around her shoulders, “Don’t worry, there’s still brother, brother to help you.”
