Chapter 548: Condolence
Early the next morning.
Qin Fan left the coastal villa resort and drove to Linjiang City.
It's not just him.
Including Shen Jianping, Chen Menglian, Uncle Dong, Chen Lei, the core figures of the Shen Group, and the veterans, all put down their work today, and after receiving the call, they drove to Linjiang as soon as possible.
This also includes some important figures of the Chen family.
There is only one reason.
Chen Zhongliang is dead.
Time of death, three o'clock in the morning last night.
When swimming in the Haihe River at night, he accidentally fell into the water, and the body was found one kilometer downstream, and when it was salvaged, the person had already lost his breath, and his body was also drowning, like a dead pig that had been soaked.
"Fan Fan, this time your uncle and grandfather had an accident, everyone was upset, although his son was disloyal and unfilial, but your uncle and grandfather worked hard for me, for your father, and for our Shen family...... For the sake of this, if you see Chen Lei later, don't mess with him in your uncle's funeral hall, the dead are the greatest, let's bear with it if we have something to do, and deal with it when we come back, do you think it's okay?"
On the other end of the phone, it was Chen Menglian's sobbing cry.
Among all the relatives of the Chen family, the one who loves Chen Menglian the most is this Chen Zhongliang, who was also kicked out of the house back then.
At that time, when Shen Jianping had nothing to do, Chen Zhongliang was afraid that his own niece would follow this bastard boy to suffer and suffer outside, so he resolutely gave up the position of the hot hall master at that time, and followed Shen Jianping to start from scratch and work hard to build the current Shen business empire little by little, so to speak, he did all this for his niece, and now that his uncle who loves him so much is dead, how can Chen Menglian not be grief-stricken?
Qin Fan nodded and said, "Well, I know the measure, Mom, don't be too sad." ”
Since the accident at home, Shen Jianping has been placing her in the family's protective house for Chen Menglian's safety, and it was not until he heard that Chen Zhongliang had passed away this morning that he appeared in everyone's field of vision with Shen Jianping.
"That's good, that's good, you drive slowly, your dad and I have already arrived, let's talk about what we have to say, hang up first." ”
Hang up.
Qin Fan looked at the several luxury cars in front of him that were also coming up from the Nandu Expressway intersection in Nandu City, and sighed deeply.
He had only met Chen Zhongliang yesterday afternoon, but he drowned that night......
I don't know why, Qin Fan was feeling an ominous premonition in his heart at the moment.
He seemed to have a premonition that there was a storm waiting for him in Linjiang City at this moment, and whether he could survive this storm or not depended on the will of God......
The distance of more than 300 kilometers was quickly shortened at full speed by the Bentley Bentayga.
When Qin Fan turned the car and drove to the gate of the garden of the lakeside villa, he looked over, in front of the huge villa gate, there were already a pile of wreaths sent by people from all walks of life...... A dead silence.
Qin Fan, under the guidance of the security guard, parked the car to the side.
After getting out of the car, immediately a servant of the Chen family with a white cloth tied around his waist stepped forward, bent down respectfully in front of Qin Fan, and said, "Qin Shao, Master Shen and Mrs. Shen have been waiting for you in the house for a long time, now you can go with me." ”
"I'm tired. ”
Qin Fan nodded and motioned for the other party to lead the way.
Along the way, Qin Fan saw many familiar faces here.
However, most of them are the Chen family.
Judging from the faces they got together and chatted indifferently, Chen Zhongliang's death did not touch these Chen family members too much.
After all, Chen Zhongliang was kicked out of the house by the Chen family's grandmother when he was young, and he reunited after decades, and the old people were separated by yin and yang.
"Qin Shao, Master Shen and the woman are waiting for you on the second floor, please feel free to do so, if you need to, call me at any time." ”
The servant took Qin Fan to the bottom of the tube building on the second floor, and Qin Fan had been here, so he nodded and walked up to the second floor.
"Dad, Mom. ”
Qin Fan saw Shen Jianping, who was sitting on the edge of the attic, helping his mother wipe away his tears, and he had mixed feelings for a while and strode over.
Shen Jianping and his wife raised their heads in unison when they heard the sound, and after seeing that it was Qin Fan who arrived, Chen Menglian immediately stood up excitedly, opened her arms, and hugged Qin Fan in her arms.
"Fanfan, you are back, my mother thought I would never see you again......"
Chen Menglian's crying moved Qin Fan.
Since the moment the mother and son met a few months ago, Chen Menglian has always been eager to give herself everything she can give.
And this time, the Shen family encountered this great disaster, and the mother and son were not allowed to see each other, even if Shen Jianping did not tell him, Qin Fan could still feel that this kind of mother-son connection, the thoughts brought by it, and the sleepless night.
"Mom, I'm not good, it's okay, don't cry, cry again, beware of crying and crying badly......" Qin Fan comforted softly.
Shen Jianping stood aside, although he didn't speak, but judging from his slightly trembling lips, the mood of the head of the business empire at this moment was not very calm.
"Okay, okay, there are so many people outside, and today they are here to mourn your uncle, and it's not good for others to see it......
Shen Jianping sighed softly, and only after the mother and son were separated did he look at Qin Fan and ask, "Fanfan, are you here alone today?"
Qin Fan nodded, "Well, it's just me." ”
"Alone?"
Shen Jianping frowned embarrassedly and asked, "Wen Ren Muxue didn't come?"
Qin Fan was also confused by the question, "No, she hasn't contacted me, and I don't know if she's coming." ”
"Oh, that's probably my mistake, it's okay, let's help your mother sit first, this time Zhongliang had an accident, it's really unexpected, I originally said that I would wait for this time to be busy, and come to see him in person, but I didn't expect that the world is impermanent, and Zhongliang, who has lived a lifetime on the river, will eventually die in the river......"
Shen Jianping sighed, a family of three sat on the edge of the porch, not far from the open space downstairs, is the mourning hall that has just been built, the coffin where Chen Zhongliang's body is stored is placed inside, the sound of mourning and music lingers in the ears, mixed in with it, there is a faint cry.
"Mom, when did you get the call, and what did they tell you on the phone?"
Qin Fan took out a tissue, helped Chen Menglian wipe away her tears, and asked at the same time.
"Just a little earlier than you, the phone is your uncle and grandfather's housekeeper, personally called your dad, tell your dad, your uncle and grandfather fell into the water last night, and the body was found at dawn, but the person is dead, let's come as soon as possible and send him on his last ......"
Speaking of this, Chen Menglian's emotions that had just calmed down fluctuated again, but fortunately, Shen Jianping interrupted what she was about to say in time and explained: "We were only the first to be notified, and there are still many Shen Chen's family members on the way here, but I got a message that Chen Zhiguang will not appear here again today, do you know what's going on?"
Chen Zhiguang didn't come to his grandfather's funeral?
Qin Fan was stunned, "I really don't know, I haven't seen him recently, and I haven't been in touch for a long time." ”
"It seems that the recent events in the group have touched him quite a lot, but in terms of facts, I think this child is still very good, I hope this matter will not affect his future development, and the grievances between the older generations should not be borne by the next generation......" Shen Jianping sighed slightly.
Qin Fan nodded approvingly, although Chen Zhiguang was a little exaggerated in his private life, after all, he spent all the money he earned, did not embezzle a piece of public funds, and also had his own opinions and principles on major issues of right and wrong, unlike Chen Lei, who felt that the whole world owed him, all the time, not for his own personal interests, racking his brains and intriguing.
But at this time, in Qin Fan's spare light, he suddenly saw a group of uninvited guests near the mourning hall downstairs.
Black suits, with white cloth bands tied around their wrists, and it was a clear sunny day, but they were all wearing black umbrellas, and there were about 20 people, lined up in a neat line, and walked towards the entrance of the mourning hall.
