"No matter what...he is grandpa's biological son. When grandpa is buried...he should be present."
Finally in the silence... Guan Yanfei, who had not spoken until now, suddenly said.
The whole family seemed to have become quiet because of Guan Yanfei's words.
Later, the matter was settled because of Guan Yanfei's words, and Guan Xuzhan went to find Guan Zhiyuan... and asked Guan Zhiyuan to come back to attend Guan Jingnian's funeral.
Guan Yanfei and Jiang Shen also temporarily lived in the Guan family, and Guan Xinshuo also temporarily moved out of the hotel and returned to the Guan family.
The Guan family has decided to block the news about Guan Jingnian's death... at least they need to wait for a while, and they can only announce it after the storm between Guan Yanfei and Jiang Shen has passed.
The funeral was also scheduled for this afternoon.
Guan Xinshuo said that if it was delayed for too long...it would be easy for others to find out, so he decided to let Guan Jingnian be buried as soon as possible.
Butler Lu returned to the Guan family first and gave all the servants of the Guan family a holiday...
So when Guan Yanfei, Jiang Shen, Guan Xuzhan, Guan Xunyan and Guan Xinshuo returned to the Guan family, the Guan family was empty.
The Guan family... has never been so deserted since Tang Juan's death.
On the day Tang Juan committed suicide... all the servants were given a day off.
That day... Guan Xinshuo came back and saw his mother lying in a pool of blood. He called so urgently... but no one could help him.
This time, let the servants take a holiday... Guan Jingnian is no longer here.
As soon as he entered the door... the sense of depression that Guan Xingshuo had experienced hit him again, and he even had difficulty breathing.
In the living room...the circumstances of Tang Juan's tragic death are still vivid in my mind...as clear as if it happened yesterday.
It was almost noon when Guan Yanfei and the others arrived at Guan's house, but... no one had the appetite to eat.
Guan Xirui was already weak, so she went upstairs to rest as soon as she came back.
Guan Xuzhan said: "Butler Lu called and said he went out to buy something to eat... You all go up and rest first. I'll ask a few more reliable friends to come over and help, especially the eldest brother... You'd better go up and lie down.
, you’ve been up almost all day and all night.”
"Okay..." Guan Xingshuo also looked tired.
The Guan family's ancestral grave is the same as the Jiang family's...it is located in the westmost corner of the Guan family manor.
So this afternoon's funeral will be held at Guanjia Manor.
Guan Xinshuo is now considered the head of the family, so he decided to do it in the evening when it gets dark.
It's hard to be noticed when it's dark.
Although it was Guan Jingnian's own wish, but... I thought that Guan Jingnian, who was omnipotent throughout his life, would be buried hastily like this after his death.
But... with his family by his side, Guan Jingnian is already countless times better than others.
"Go and rest...leave the rest to me!"
Guan Xuzhan seemed to have matured overnight and was able to stand on his own... He was no longer as smiling as before, giving the impression that he was just a young master who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun.
"Let's go up..." She whispered as Guan Yanfei and Jiang Shen clasped their hands.
Guan Yanfei clutched the letter Guan Jingnian gave her in her hand until... she came back from the hospital.
Guan Xinshuo went upstairs to the room first, followed by Guan Yanfei.
Jiang Shen also held Guan Yanfei's hand and went upstairs.
But... Jiang Shen looked at Guan Xinshuo's slender and slightly tired back, and actually... felt a strong sense of threat.
He couldn't help but squeeze Guan Yanfei's little hand.
Guan Yanfei lowered her eyes from beginning to end and did not look at Guan Xingshuo.
She could feel the sudden increase in strength in Jiang Shen's dry hands, and she knew what Jiang Shen was minding...
She and Guan Xinshuo blurted out the exact same words.
Forced rest…
Guan Yanfei also squeezed Jiang Shen's big hand.
As soon as he entered the room, Jiang Shen closed the door and hugged Guan Yanfei into his arms.
So eager...so hard.
Love to the extreme, even if there is even a slight threat...even if there is no possible threat, Jiang Shen will feel scared.
The familiar aroma of Jiang Shen entered Guan Yanfei's nose, and Guan Yanfei raised her hand to hug Jiang Shen.
With Jiang Shen's breath by her side, Guan Yanfei's heart... can always calm down.
Neither of them spoke... However, they both understood each other's thoughts.
"Jiang Shen...can you hold me and sleep for a while?" Guan Yanfei's voice was soft.
"Yes! I can hold you for the rest of my life...as long as you want!" Jiang Shen said every word, making his own eyes turn red.
Guan Yanfei didn't know whether she was moved by Jiang Shen's words...or whether there were tears in her eyes.
She hugged Jiang Shen tightly with red eyes.
Guan Yanfei must be really tired. She was in Jiang Shen's arms again...she fell asleep after a while.
Jiang Shen also fell into a deep sleep.
The Guan family...it's rare to see it so quiet.
It's broad daylight... but everyone in the Guan family is sleeping.
Butler Lu came back after buying food, only to find that everyone was asleep... He didn't dare to disturb him, but quietly put the food back into the kitchen, and then covered Guan Xuzhan, who was sleeping on the sofa, with a blanket.
.
Butler Lu's throat couldn't help but throb as he looked at the huge Guan family.
Suddenly...Guan Jingnian is no longer here.
He has been with Guan Jingnian almost since he was a child.
Butler Lu is an orphan... To put it bluntly, Guan Jingnian is like his own father.
Butler Lu had been holding back, but in such a quiet environment at this moment... he finally couldn't help but feel sad inside.
He sat in the corner of the sofa and looked at Guan Xuzhan, who was sleeping soundly.
Guan Jingnian is very good to Butler Lu...
Butler Lu originally planned to retire in the house that Guan Jingnian bought for him in the countryside once Guan Jingnian was no longer around.
Because Butler Lu really doesn't like Guan Zhiyuan very much.
He stayed in the Guan family entirely because of Guan Jingnian.
However... no one expected that the Guan family would encounter such a huge change before Guan Jingnian's death.
Guan Zhiyuan was kicked out of the Guan family... Butler Lu had to take care of the Guan family's manor and property for Guan Xunrui.
Butler Lu knew very well that Guan Jingnian was very considerate...even taking care of himself.
Nominally, Butler Lu was taking care of Guan Xurui in the Guan family until Guan Xurui got married... In fact, Guan Jingnian asked Guan Xurui to regard Butler Lu as his father. From now on... after Guan Xurui gets married, this is still Guan Xurui's home, and Butler Lu still has to stay and take care of Guan Xurui.
reason.
Butler Lu raised his hand and wiped away his tears. Guan Jingnian had arranged for Butler Lu a life where he would not be lonely in his old age.
———————Thousands of dividing lines——————————
Guan Yanfei was awakened by the ringing of the phone. She fumbled and pressed mute on the phone and looked back to see that the ringing did not wake Jiang Shen. Then she cautiously got up and walked outside to answer the call.
"Hey...Xiao Xi!" Guan Yanfei smiled with a smile on her lips.
Xiao Xi is like Guan Yanfei's pistachio. Whenever she hears Jiang Xirui's voice... the corners of Guan Yanfei's lips will rise unconsciously.
"Mom...when will mom and dad come back? Xiaoxi misses her parents..." Jiang Xirui's voice sounded muffled, as if she was very unhappy.
Guan Yanfei coaxed in a low voice: "Mom and dad will be back tonight... Xiaoxi misses her parents, doesn't she?"
"Yes...Xiao Xi misses her parents so much!" Jiang Xirui said with a cry in her voice.
Jiang Xirui has become accustomed to seeing Guan Yanfei as soon as she returns home. Although Yan Ruhua is with her now... she still misses Guan Yanfei.
Especially he was afraid that Guan Yanfei would suddenly stop coming back and he would be without a mother like before.
"Then Xiao Xi, listen to grandma. Mom will prepare delicious food for Xiao Xi when she comes back, okay?" Guan Yanfei's voice was so gentle that it could make her water drop.
Jiang Xirui on the other end of the phone nodded: "Then Xiaoxi is waiting at home for her mother to come back..."
"good!"
After Guan Yanfei hung up the phone, she realized that the letter Guan Jingnian had given her was still clutched in her hand.
Guan Yanfei tightened her hands and finally opened the letter, folded it and put it in her pocket.
After talking to Jiang Xirui on the phone, Guan Yanfei already felt more energetic...but it seemed that the heater in Guan's house was too hot, and she felt a little dry when she woke up.
Guan Yanfei went downstairs to go to the kitchen to get some water. As soon as she reached the kitchen door...she saw Guan Xingshuo pouring water through the transparent glass at the kitchen door.
Guan Yanfei's hand holding the door handle paused, and she stopped pushing the door.
Guan Xingshuo seemed to have just woken up. He poured a glass of ice water and took a sip...his brows wrinkled.
Guan Yanfei was about to turn around and leave, but she heard the sound of a water glass breaking from inside.
Guan Yanfei turned her head...and saw that Guan Xinshuo seemed to have burned her hand while pouring hot water. The glass dropped to the ground along with the hot water and splashed. Guan Xinshuo took several steps back to avoid it.
Guan Xinshuo's eyebrows furrowed even more tightly...
Nothing seems to be going well for me lately.
Guan Xingshuo was not in a hurry to clean up the broken glass. He put his hands on the desk and lowered his head in frustration and frustration.
Since Tang Juan's death, Guan Jingnian... is probably the only person Guan Xinshuo cares about in the Guan family.
Guan Xinshuo's eyes turned red.
When he came back and found out that Guan Jingnian had passed away, he really... really wanted to hold Guan Jingnian and cry.
But no...
Because Guan Xinshuo is the eldest! If he is upset because of his sadness, then... what should the younger brothers and sisters do?
It is said that Guan Xinshuo had a heart of stone, and even after Guan Jingnian passed away, he was able to calmly arrange everything... without even shedding a single tear.
But who knows the difficulties in Guan Xinshuo's heart?
Guan Xinshuo knew that he couldn't shed tears...especially in front of his younger brothers and sisters. He...had to stand behind like a mountain, so that his younger brothers and sisters felt...at least...that the eldest brother stood behind and took care of everything.
Leave it to them and they can do it.
If they don't do well... they still have big brother, big brother... who is their backing.
But who is Guan Xinshuo’s backing?
In the past... when Guan Jingnian was around, Guan Xinshuo felt very at ease, but now that Guan Jingnian is gone... his heart feels light.
But these are things Guan Xinshuo cannot tell others.
Calmness...steadiness, these have long become synonymous with Guan Xinshuo.
Everyone thinks that there must be no problem with Guan Xinshuo, after all, he has been independent for so many years.
Guan Xinshuo once thought that there was nothing wrong with him, but Guan Jingnian was really gone... His heart felt like a corner was missing.
Is this because Guan Xinshuo is too sad to lose his grandfather, or is it because he is really not as stable as he thought.
He doesn't know...
Tears... fell along Guan Xingshuo's eyelashes and onto the stainless steel table.
Guan Xinshuo quickly touched it with his hand, as if he was afraid of being seen.
Such actions... made Guan Yanfei feel heartbroken.
After a long while, Guan Xingshuo took a deep breath and walked over, bending down to pick up the fragments on the ground.
However, as soon as his fingers touched the broken glass, he felt dizzy and almost fell down. Guan Yanfei's pupils trembled... He took three steps at a time and rushed over to help Guan Xingshuo.
"Don't move...I'll do it!" Guan Yanfei said nervously.
That familiar voice... and the familiar fragrance came, making Guan Xingshuo's nerves tense.
He raised his head... and collided with Guan Yanfei's slightly worried eyes.
Time... seems to have stopped.
Guan Xinshuo couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen Guan Yanfei's eyes like this. His dry lips moved, but he still couldn't say a word... He straightened up slowly.
"You look ugly..." Guan Yanfei looked at the pale-faced Guan Xinshuo and said, "Just stand here and don't move... I'll take care of it."
That soft voice... could soothe Guan Xinshuo's heart the most.
He stood in front of the desk and watched the thin figure busy cleaning everything up.
Guan Xinshuo's pair of deep eyes were full of Guan Yanfei's back, and his eyes turned red...
I really... really want to hold Guan Yanfei in my arms again. It won't take long... just a moment.
But he still didn't dare.
Guan Shushuo knows human nature too well... after getting it, he wants more. He is afraid that if he hugs... those feelings that have been suppressed by him will break out of his reason like a scourge. What will he do then?
…I’m afraid he himself doesn’t even know.
Guan Yanfei cleaned up the glass shards on the ground and poured a glass of hot water for Guan Xinshuo and handed it over.
"Thank you..." Guan Xingshuo took the water glass and said thank you in a particularly hoarse voice.
Guan Yanfei lowered her eyes and said nothing. She originally came down to drink water... Since she had already touched Guan Yanfei and did not dodge, she also poured herself a glass of water.
Guan Xinshuo asked: "Are you hungry?"
"Fortunately..." Guan Yanfei held the cup and prepared to leave...
"Yan Fei..."
This name... was difficult to pronounce, but in desperation... Guan Xinshuo still called it.
Guan Yanfei's throat tightened, she clenched the water glass in her hand and turned around: "Huh?"
"Can you... stay with me for a while?" Guan Xingshuo said, his eyes involuntarily looking away, "Butler Lu will bring grandpa back soon..."
"Hmm...I know." Guan Yanfei said, and finally turned around and walked back to stand opposite Guan Xinshuo.
Guan Xinshuo's face was very pale...his lips were dry and flaky.
Their eyes never met again...
It was obviously Guan Xinshuo who wanted Guan Yanfei to stay with him for a while, but at this moment... he was relatively speechless.
Or... there are too many things I want to say and I don't know where to start, or... the two people know each other too well, and they already understand each other's meaning before they even open their mouths.
Therefore... there is no need to speak.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
