Chapter 125: The Funeral Dinner
It was a real traffic accident, and I quickly saw a report about it in my local newspaper.
"At about eight o'clock last night, on the highway leading to the city in Ningquan County, a Great Wall Haval off-road vehicle with a license plate in this city drove to the part of an "S" shaped bend, suddenly drove out of the highway and turned over to a cliff more than ten meters deep, the incident site is about an hour and a half away from Ningquan County, after the accident, the local traffic police, fire and hospital rescuers in Ningquan County rushed to the scene of the accident after receiving the alarm.
According to the firefighters, when they arrived at the scene, the white Great Wall Haval off-road vehicle had exploded, and then the body quickly ignited a raging fire, the fire was very strong, and there were sporadic explosions from time to time, and scattered car parts could be seen everywhere.
After more than half an hour of intense fighting, the fire finally gradually extinguished, at this time, the off-road vehicle had burned to the point that only the iron shell remained, and all three people on the car were killed.
It is reported that this off-road vehicle is a family of three, on the day of the accident, the male owner Yang Congshan personally drove the white Great Wall Haval off-road vehicle purchased not long ago, with his wife Xia Zhenling and daughter Yang Keke, a family of three ready to go to Ningquan County's relatives' house, unexpectedly halfway suddenly suffered a cross-traffic accident, the traffic police department made a preliminary analysis of the cause of the accident is: when the car drove to the bend of a mountain road, because the driver lacked experience, mistakenly thought that the front was a straight road, and the front curve did not add a guardrail, so it was too late to brake the Great Wall Haval off-road vehicle turned off the cliff, the specific cause of the accident is being investigated and analyzed by the relevant departmentsใ
The specific identities of the three people killed in the car were: Yang Congshan, male, 49 years old, self-employed, Xia Zhenling (Yang Congshan's wife), 47 years old, self-employed, and Yang Keke (Yang Congshan and Xia Zhenling's youngest daughter), 13-year-old, junior high school student. โ
Seeing this car accident report, I only feel a chill down my spine, such a sudden disaster accident will always bring people a sad feeling, although the family of three who had the accident is the relatives of the woman who took my husband, but I still feel the ruthlessness of the accident, the fragility of life, and mourn for the deceased.
This accident also brought a lot of shock to the young daughter Tongtong, Yang Kexin's sister Yang Keke and Tongtong are classmates in primary school, but Yang Keke's grades are not very good, so after graduating from primary school, she was not admitted to the key school that my daughter Tongtong attended, but because Tongtong's other good friend Xiao Lin and Yang Keke's family originally lived on the same street, and Yang Keke was Yang Kexin's sister, so Tongtong was more concerned about her situation.
Now, after knowing that the three members of their family were killed, Tongtong murmured to me: "Mom, it's so terrible! Yang Keke went to Xiao Lin's house to play before the accident, showing off her brother-in-law, that is, my father, bought a brand new off-road vehicle for their family, and said that they would take Xiao Lin for a ride, but I didn't expect them to be ...... now. No longer in the world. โ
Looking at my daughter's frightened and timid eyes, I slowly took her into my arms and whispered to her: "Therefore, each of us must cherish life, because life is so important to us, there is only one time in a lifetime, if you lose it, you will never have a chance again, and life is so fragile, any sudden disaster may pose a threat to it, so we live in the world, we must cherish the good time with our loved ones, so that we will not have regrets...... Out of the world. โ
Listening to my words, my young daughter nodded at me as if she didn't understand, and later, she asked me quite worriedly: "Mom, you said that Yang Keke's off-road vehicle was bought by my father, will the police come to trouble my father then?"
When I heard this, I was stunned, and then I smiled faintly and comforted my daughter: "You don't have to worry about this, haven't you read the newspaper that has already analyzed the cause of the accident? It was because the driver was inexperienced and unfamiliar with the road conditions that this car accident was caused, and it should have nothing to do with your father, he just gave them the car, and what happened later was not within his responsibility." โ
Saying this, Tongtong relieved herself and nodded slowly at me.
***
A few days later, Zhu Yunxiu asked me to meet at the restaurant on the ground floor of the Shangri-La Hotel, and I called Wang Hua as I had planned.
I told Wang Hua that this is a meeting between ordinary friends, because Zhu Yunxiu had saved me before, and the relationship between our two families has always been better because of the relationship between our children, so although Zhu Yunxiu is a big name in the shopping mall, let him not have any psychological burden, just take the time to meet and catch up with ordinary friends.
Wang Hua is a reasonable person, and when I said this, he agreed to accompany me to Shangri-La Hotel that day.
We went by Wang Hua's car, and after getting off at the door of the hotel, we were about to walk to the hotel, when I accidentally found Deng Liang and Yang Kexin.
I saw that Yang Kexin was wearing a black dress and a black skirt, her hair was scattered, and there was a white flower pinned to the right side of her head, with a sad expression, Deng Liang was wearing a black suit and accompanied her, and there were some other people in formal clothes around them, who may be relatives of the Yang family, or friends of Deng Liang.
Looking at the appearance of this group of people, it should be the appearance of just attending the funeral, this funeral is undoubtedly the funeral of Yang Kexin's adoptive parents and her sister, and now, it may be that Deng Liang invited these guests to the funeral in Shangri-La, in order to fulfill the friendship of the landlord.
Because I came to the banquet of Zhu Yunxiu, the big man of business, I must be able to handle my appearance, which is also a kind of respect for the other party, so today Wang Hua and I are dressed up a little, I am wearing a set of lavender purple skirts, a snow-white velvet scarf around my neck, a pair of purple-black soft leather boots on my feet, my straight black hair is naturally spread out like that, and I have a light makeup on my face.
Today's Wang Hua is wearing an iron-gray suit, a fuchsia tie around his neck, he wears a pair of gold-wire glasses, and his image of a polite scholar, he still looks very elegant and temperamental.
The two of us were at the door of the Shangri-La Hotel, opposite Deng Liang and Yang Kexin, Deng Liang frowned and looked at me, and then looked at Wang Hua next to me, his expression was a little complicated.
Yang Kexin basically didn't look at Wang Hua, her gaze stayed on me, she stared at me blankly, I noticed that her eyes were red and swollen, and there seemed to be undried tears in the corners of her eyes, but her eyes were extremely cold, and there was even a chill to the bone marrow, which made me feel very puzzled, and at the same time there was an instinctive fear.
We looked at each other for a moment, Deng Liang gently grabbed Yang Kexin's shoulders and whispered to her, "Let's go in." โ
Yang Kexin looked at me deeply, then bowed lightly to Deng Liang, and the two of them walked into the hotel lobby with those guests and friends.
Wang Hua and I entered through the side door of the hotel, and the waiter led us to the private room that Zhu Yunxiu had booked.
Zhu Yunxiu booked a luxurious private room, the decoration style inside is style, the partition and screen are engraved with traditional national patterns, the ground is covered with a golden carpet, one wall is a huge traditional flower and bird painting, the right side of the private room is placed for many guests to rest on the couch and coffee table, the left side of the window is a huge dining table, around the table there are many luxurious chairs.
At this moment, Zhu Yunxiu was already sitting there waiting for us, and today he was wearing a more casual shirt, a light cyan stand-up collar high-end shirt, without a bow tie.
Seeing us come in, Zhu Yunxiu originally had a faint smile on his face, but when he saw clearly that Wang Hua was coming with me, his eyes flashed with surprise for a moment, he looked at Wang Hua and asked me softly, "Xiao Su, who is this?"
I hurriedly smiled, pointed at Wang Hua and introduced Zhu Yunxiu: "Oh, Brother Zhu, this is my new friend...... Boyfriend - Wang Hua. โ
At the same time, I also turned back to Wang Hua and said: "This is the big brother Zhu I mentioned to you, the boss of xxx group, who has always helped me." โ
Hearing me say this, Wang Hua naturally stepped forward and took the initiative to shake hands with Zhu Yunxiu, which also means to thank him on behalf of me, Zhu Yunxiu is a person who is used to seeing all kinds of scenes, today's meeting, although he did not expect that I would bring Wang Hua here, but after all, he has been on the battlefield for a long time and has an unchaotic momentum, so it is natural to stand up and shake hands with Wang Hua to greet each other, and at the same time ask us to sit down at will.
After both of us were seated, Zhu Yunxiu instructed the waitress to serve the food one after another, and at the same time chatted with us politely.
The food came up quickly, Zhu Yunxiu politely invited us to use the dishes, and asked the service lady to pour us wine, and then we chatted while eating.
Because of Wang Hua's presence, Zhu Yunxiu and I naturally couldn't talk about any hidden topics, and the two of them mainly chatted about some social news, such as financial or people's livelihood social hot topics, of course, they didn't talk too deeply, but just expressed some shallow views.
It should be said that this banquet is still quite embarrassing, because later, basically we have no topic, if Wang Hua is not present, I guess Zhu Yunxiu will definitely mention his emotional troubles and troubles to me, and then make further requests to me, and I just don't want to hear him talk about this, so I brought Wang Hua here, just to dispel Zhu Yunxiu's thoughts about me.
But by doing so, I obviously hurt Zhu Yunxiu's self-esteem, and I could clearly feel that his mood was obviously a little unhappy at the end of this meeting.
To be honest, my feelings for Zhu Yunxiu have always been good, I feel bad when I see him like this, I don't want to hurt his self-esteem, but I have my own bottom line, not entangled with married men, is my basic bottom line.
At the end of the banquet, Wang Hua expressed his sincere gratitude to Zhu Yunxiu for saving me a while ago on behalf of me, and at the same time specially invited him, saying that we would set up a special banquet to show my gratitude when we returned.
In the face of Wang Hua's sincerity, Zhu Yunxiu just smiled faintly and said casually: "You're polite." "There wasn't much of a reaction.
