After Liao Jinguang and his second daughter greeted him, he said to Dong Jieyu: "Xiao Dong, Huang Lao's funeral matters have not yet been determined, these two days, there will be many friends at home and abroad and from all walks of life, they will first come to Qingyang Hotel to inquire, the reception task of your hotel will be very arduous, I hope you will withstand the pressure, work together, and do a good job in the reception, I thank you for them first." ”

Dong Jieyu was flattered and said, "Chairman Liao, you are too polite, this is what we should do." You can rest assured, we will do a good job in the reception task to ensure that the on-site order is not chaotic. ”

Liao Jinguang wanted her last word, and he was very relieved to hear it, and nodded his head in affirmation to her, and then walked into the VIP building.

Li Rui didn't talk to the second daughter, just nodded and followed.

At this time, there were not many people who received the news of Huang Xinghua's death, and few people rushed to Qingyang Hotel, so there were still very few idle people in the VIP building, and the lobby on the first floor was deserted.

Among these people, there are those Li Rui knows, and there are those he doesn't know, but most of them know, staring at it, and soon found Jiang Meixian's tall and graceful figure, and the housekeeper Qi Fengchi standing next to her, seeing them, it was like seeing relatives, and they hurriedly walked over, regardless of Liao Jinguang.

"Cindy, Steward Qi, I'm back!"

Li Rui came to the two and said hello.

Jiang Meixian was no longer crying, but her two big and moving eyes had turned into peaches, red and swollen, and she was a little surprised to see him, and said, "Ah, Mr. Li, are you back?"

Qi Fengchi was also a little surprised when he saw Li Rui, and said, "Xiao Rui, didn't you go to Beijing?" Li Rui said: "I heard that my eldest brother died, so I rushed back overnight." As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but feel sour.

The answer between the three attracted the attention of several people next to them, and they all turned their heads to look at Li Rui.

Qi Fengchi saw those people coming over, took Li Rui to his side, waved his hand and said, "Xiao Rui, let me introduce you, this is the eldest son of my master, Huang Zhishan......"

Li Rui looked at the person he waved his hand to, and saw that he was sixty or seventy years old, his body was five or six centimeters taller than Huang Xinghua, and he was not very tall, he was slightly fat, with short hair, his hair color was gray, and his appearance was like the shadow of Huang Xinghua, his expression was heavy at this time, and his body exuded a lofty momentum, at first glance, he was not an ordinary person, and it was not good to call him by his relationship with Huang Xinghua, so he handed it to him, and only said: "Hello!"

Huang Zhishan seemed to be difficult to contact, but in fact he was more gentle, shook hands with him, and said: "Hello, you are the righteous brother Li Rui mentioned by the housekeeper and my father came to Qingyang, right?" Li Rui said: "I am Li Rui, I met Ling Zun by chance, I was loved by him, and I became friends with him." As for the godbrothers, they are just the whims of the old man, and they don't need to be taken seriously. ”

Li Rui is very smart and very cautious, knowing that as soon as the eldest brother Huang Xinghua dies, these children in the family will inherit the huge inheritance he left behind, at this sensitive juncture, he must not be familiar with himself, and he will tell the third son of the Huang family that he is Huang Xinghua's brother, otherwise it is likely to be misunderstood by them as wanting to get a piece of the inheritance, which will be boring, so he will take a step back first, not regard himself as Huang Xinghua's brother-in-law, and even take the initiative to eliminate this relationship.

After hearing this, Huang Zhishan's face showed a look of appreciation and relief, but before he could speak, an old man of fifty-seven or eighteen years old beside him interjected and said: "Hey, why are you talking like that? Could it be that as soon as my father dies, the friendship between you and his godbrother will be automatically severed? Can't our Huang family be able to climb up to you again? Don't deny the godbrother relationship with my father, he has already left you a bequest in his will. It can be seen that his old man has regarded you as his own brother, and our three brothers will call you uncle in terms of seniority. ”

Li Rui looked at him and saw that he looked similar to Huang Zhishan, he was more than ten years younger, and he was estimated to be Huang Zhishan's brother, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't, how many ...... A few of them can be my uncle at their age, how can they call me uncle again? I have fellowship with Ling Zun as brothers, and a few as friends. ”

Huang Zhishan introduced: "This is my third brother, Huang Zhihe. He pointed to a cold-looking old man behind him and said, "This is my second brother, Huang Zhihai." ”

Li Rui was slightly surprised, and said that the eldest brother was really bold, and gave his three sons the names of Huangshan, Huanghai, and Huanghe respectively, but this also reflects his great patriotism for the motherland, which is worth learning from himself, and he is busy saying hello to Huang Zhihai and Huang Zhihe respectively.

Huang Zhihai comforted Li Rui and said: "Although our three brothers have not seen Xiao Rui's care and help to your late father, we can also see the affection from him recognizing you as a righteous brother, and the three of us are very grateful for your efforts during this time in Qingyang, and we have already regarded you as our own family, so you don't have to think about it, let alone be humble, we are all a family." ”

The three sons of the Huang family said a sentence respectively, and it is not difficult for Li Rui, who is good at figuring out the personalities of the characters, to find the personalities of the three people, the eldest Huang Zhishan, has a gentle and generous personality, which really gives people a feeling of a vast mountain; the second eldest Huang Zhihai, although his temperament is cold, but he is very sensible and very wise; the third Huang Zhihe has a more impatient temperament and speaks a little impulsively, but he does not have a bad heart, and belongs to the type of straightforward and fast-talking. The three brothers have three personalities, but they are also very distinct and easy to recognize.

After Li Rui got acquainted with the three brothers, he got down to business: "I received the news of my eldest brother's death last night, and I reported it to my leader Secretary Song Chaoyang as soon as possible, and Secretary Song asked me to return quickly to help deal with the funeral matters. So if you need any help, just say hello to me, don't be polite to me, it's my job. ”

Huang Zhishan said: "Don't hide it from you, our brother's meaning is according to what my father said many times before his death, if he dies, the funeral must be simple, but after the news spread, friends from all walks of life disagreed, and they all said that they would set up a joint funeral committee to bury the late father." Our brothers are not going against their good intentions, and we are now preparing a funeral committee. You came back just in time, as a local of Qingyang, you can help a lot. ”

Li Rui promised a few words, changed his words, and said, "Can I see Ling Zun for the last time?"

Before Huang Zhishan could speak, Huang Zhihe had already shouted: "It's okay, this is also human nature, you go in, my father is on the bed in the bedroom." Butler, you go in with him. ”

The second child, Huang Zhihai, didn't speak, just watched coldly.

Li Rui was allowed to walk through the crowd under the leadership of Qi Fengchi and enter room 202, and when he went in, the bedroom door was wide open, and a woman in black with a very charming back was standing by the bed crying and telling something. She heard footsteps, looked back, and saw Qi Fengchi and Li Rui.

Qi Fengchi hurriedly stopped and said, "Miss, I'll take the master's brother-in-law Li Rui to come in to see the master's last face." As he spoke, tears flowed down his eyes.

The woman hastily wiped the tears from her face, turned around and walked out of the bedroom, lowered her head slightly, stood by the door and said, "Okay." ”

Qi Fengchi took Li Rui to the woman's side and introduced: "Miss, this is Li Rui, the righteous brother who was very important to the old man during his lifetime...... Xiao Rui, this is Huang Weining, the eldest granddaughter of my lord. ”

Li Rui stared at this eldest lady of the Huang family, and saw that she was in her early thirties, not short, wearing high heels about 1.7 meters, with a neck-length Sassoon head, bangs on the forehead, black and thick hair, not messy, looking neat and young and fashionable; , a pair of black pointed-toe high heels under her feet, she is really a temperament beauty with outstanding figure and refined temperament, which is rare in the world.

Huang Weining took the initiative to hand it to Li Rui, and asked Qi Fengchi in his mouth: "Uncle Qi, what should I call it?" Qi Fengchi looked at Li Rui with some embarrassment, and said, "Uh...... This, if it were by generation......"

Li Rui interjected: "Miss Huang, making my grandfather recognize me as a righteous brother is just a whim, so you don't have to take it seriously." Let's just talk about it as equals. After speaking, he gently held her hand, shook it slightly, and then let go. Huang Weining was also very generous, and said, "Then I will call you Mr. Li." Li Rui nodded and said, "I'll go see Huang Lao for the last time, and we'll talk later." ”

Huang Weining bowed slightly, stood sideways, and did not leave the house.

Li Rui walked into the bedroom and saw that Huang Xinghua was still lying in place on the bed, if it weren't for the white quilt covering his head and face, I'm afraid no one would know that he had died.

Qi Fengchi walked to the side of the bed and gently lifted the quilt. Li Rui looked at it with teary eyes, and saw that Huang Xinghua's eyes were closed, his face was serene, and his complexion had turned pale due to the blood sedimentation after death, and he looked very dead, which was very uncomfortable.

Li Rui didn't care about this, and shouted: "Big brother!" The tears flowed even harder.

Qi Fengchi was also very sad, crying and said: "Master, Xiao Rui is back, he saw that you are coming, you didn't go before you saw your good brother for the last time, you are in too much of a hurry......"

Outside the door, Huang Weining heard this, and the tears that had been stopped flowed down again.

Li Rui looked at Huang Xinghua's face and cried for a while, and when he stopped, he lowered his voice and asked Qi Fengchi: "Steward Qi, what time did my eldest brother die last night? Where were you at that time? Is there anyone else in the room besides you?"

When Huang Weining heard this, he felt that there was something else to do, so he subconsciously took two steps closer and listened at the door.
