The housekeeper handed me three sticks of incense. I walked in, came to Su Yue's side, lit the incense and kowtowed three times to Mr. Su seriously.
Su Yue was in no state at all, as if she had stayed up all night, and her eyes were filled with red bloodshot eyes.
When she saw me, she simply said hello to me.
I sighed softly and comforted her: "Su Yue, my condolences! Don't be too sad. Uncle will not be in so much pain now that he is gone. You don't want your father to be tortured by illness, right?"
Su Yue nodded mechanically, choking and saying: "But I didn't expect...I didn't expect that my father would leave just as he said he was going to leave. This morning...she asked me to take him to the back garden to see the flowers he planted...
…”
"It's okay, don't be sad, everyone will have this day. You have grown up. After your father is gone, you have to be stronger, you know?"
Su Yue nodded again, then fell silent, still kneeling in front of the coffin.
I have experienced the death of a loved one, and I deeply understand the feeling of being separated from flesh and blood, which no one can comfort.
Only by letting her come out on her own will time help her come out.
After burning paper with him for a while, the housekeeper called me.
I then walked towards the housekeeper, and he took me to the study, picked up an envelope from the desk and handed it to me.
"Mr. Chen, this is what I asked me to hand over to you before I left."
I took it and immediately opened the envelope and read:
"Hello, Mr. Chen Feng, when I wrote you this letter, I knew that I was not going to live long. By the time you read this letter, I should have passed away.
I have already made arrangements. When the time comes, you can just go to Su Yue to sign the shareholding agreement. All my assets have been transferred to her name.
In addition, I finally implore you to protect Su Yue, even if you think of her as your sister.
Finally, no matter what Su Jin does next, please show mercy to him. This is also my last request."
This letter is not long, but it contains very important things, at least the most important things to him.
He talked to me last time and asked me to be merciful to Su Jin.
Of course, I also promised him that I would not kill him and leave everything to the law.
When I returned to the mourning hall, I found that Liu Chengyi was here and was offering incense.
I walked over to him, and he greeted me. I nodded and asked him, "How long have you been here?"
"I just arrived, why are you here? Aren't you afraid of Su Jin?"
"He didn't let me in, but Mr. Su asked me to come in. He couldn't stop me."
"But now that Mr. Su has left, it's his turn to speak to the Su family. It's best for you not to confront him head-on."
What Liu Chengyi said makes sense. If Su Jin gets angry at this time, there's no telling what he will do.
I nodded and said to him: "Then comfort Su Yue, she is in a bad mood, I will leave first."
"Well, call me if you have any questions."
When he came out of the mourning hall, Su Jin was still looking at me, his eyes like knives.
I deliberately walked up to him and said, "Mr. Su, you don't have to look at me like that. I'm just here to put incense sticks on Mr. Su. I'm leaving now."
"You'd better not have any other intentions. I warned you, stay away from Su Yue."
I smiled faintly, turned around and left the Su family villa compound without saying anything more to him.
After driving back to the ancient town, I called Zhou Qian to ask him if there was any progress there.
After the call was connected, I asked her: "How are you doing recently? Have you been in contact with him?"
"I have already made contact with him, and he is very nice. I told him that I just came here and could not find a job. She asked me to help him first, taking care of food and housing."
"Then what? Is there any progress?"
"We are still in contact, how could it be so fast! But it shouldn't be a big problem, just give me a few more days."
"Okay, you can figure it out yourself. If you make any progress, call me and I'll make arrangements."
After hanging up the phone from Zhou Qian, I returned to the inn.
There is not much business in Boss Tang's cafe. He is playing with his mobile phone.
I deliberately held my voice and shouted: "Boss, let's have a cup of signature coffee."
Hearing that there were guests, Boss Tang quickly put down his cell phone and greeted me: "Okay, sit down wherever you want."
But when he raised his head and saw that it was me, he immediately rolled his eyes at me: "Brother Chen, are you kidding me?"
"Who are you kidding? Give me a cup of coffee."
"Do it yourself."
With that said, he sat back on the chair and continued to pick up his phone and start playing.
I clicked my tongue and said, "Boss Tang, I am a customer. Are you serious about asking God to make coffee by himself?"
"Okay, stop kidding me, kid. I have no business at all every day. If this continues, I'm afraid I won't even be able to pay the water and electricity bills!"
"Then why don't you hurry up and make me coffee, are you afraid that I won't pay or what?"
Boss Tang also joked with me. After joking, he still made me a cup of coffee and brought it over.
He asked me again: "By the way, I heard that Mr. Su is dead. Is it true?"
"real."
"Isn't it? Why is it so sudden?" Boss Tang looked in disbelief.
"Actually, the last time I went to see him, I felt that he wouldn't live long, and I didn't expect it to be so soon."
Boss Tang suddenly sighed and said, "Now that Mr. Su is gone, our place will really belong to the Qin family!"
I smiled and said, "Boss Tang, do you still think this is a feudal society? No matter what happens, it won't be his Qin family's turn!"
"You're from out of town, you don't understand," he said, waving his hand at me again, "Forget it, I won't talk to you about this anymore, let's talk to you about something serious."
"What's the matter?" I asked curiously.
"Xiaomi, what do you think she is doing these days? Didn't you ask her to give her some investment plan to make her quit? Why is there no movement?"
I just remembered this matter. I have to help Xiaomi get through to Boss Tang.
I was silent for a while and then said: "Don't worry, I think she is enjoying herself now. In two days at most, she will go back on her own without me asking her to give up."
Boss Tang sighed and said, "I don't know what's going on with this girl. She's been out for so long, how worried her father must be!"
"I said you're overthinking, aren't you? She's not a teenage girl anymore. Are you so worried?"
"I'm not worried about her, I'm worried about her dad. She only has her dad as a relative. When she leaves, can her dad not be worried?"
"What if her father just let her come out to exercise on purpose?"
Boss Tang waved his hand: "Impossible, I know her father."
"Do you understand or do others understand? Boss Tang, please stop worrying so much, okay?"
Boss Tang seemed to hear something from my words, and he immediately looked at me seriously.
"I said Brother Chen, what's going on with you? Who are you from? Could it be that Xiaomi bribed you?"
"What? What paid off? I'm telling the truth."
"Something's wrong, something's wrong with you. Are you trying to trick her into investing in you, and then..."
Before Boss Tang could finish speaking, the ringtone of my cell phone suddenly saved my life. I quickly took out my phone and said, "Boss Tang, let me answer the phone first."
Without even looking at who was calling, I just walked aside and answered the phone.
Just after saying "Hello", Xiaoman's voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone: "Dad..."
