In order to wait for Yaoyao's aunt, the funeral ceremony is scheduled to be held tomorrow.

This night, the members of the Chris family were very sad, and the Han family was both sad and happy, and finally saw his great-granddaughter at zero distance, and finally could hold his great-granddaughter's hand.

Finally seeing her great-grandfather and father, Yaoyao was also full of emotion, but when she thought of her grandmother who had just passed away, she said with tears in her eyes: "Since I was born, Kelly is the best grandmother you can think of." Suffice it to say that I love her so much. ”

Looking at her grief-stricken appearance, Zhang Lin's tears flowed out of her eyes.

Old Man Han patted her hand and comforted her in a slow voice: "Baby, I am as sad as you, but those of us who are alive still have to live." Losing Kelly now, losing more loved ones in the future, that's something we have to face. And to be able to enter the kingdom of heaven happily, isn't this also the expectation of people and the expectation of Kelly himself? ”

The little girl took the tissue handed by Zhang Lin, and said in a choked voice, "I think I can face it, just like Daddy said, Kelly doesn't want to see me sad in Heaven." ”

"What a good strong boy."

Old Man Han nodded with satisfaction, and then changed his words: "Baby, I talked to George about your future during the wake. He is old, as old as me, and cannot take care of you as before, let alone forever. Of course, you are sensible, strong, and don't need to be taken care of.

But we still hope that you can live a better life, with the people you like, and live the life you like. For this day, George and I turned against each other and went to court; For this day, your father has been waiting for you for 14 years, the best 14 years of your life. I know it's a hard choice for you, but you have to make a choice, and I said to George that we respect your wishes. ”

No wonder the old stubborn let Yaoyao come with him. It turned out to be this.

Han Jun's heart pounded, and he looked at his daughter expectantly, for fear that she would make the decision he least wanted to see. He waited for fourteen years, and Zhang Lin waited for nearly a year. She was excited, nervous, and a little overwhelmed because she wasn't fully prepared to be a stepmother.

On one side is my grandfather, and on the other side is my great-grandfather and father.

If Kelly hadn't died. Yaoyao would not hesitate to choose to reunite with her father. But Kelly died, she was sad, and George Sr. was even more sad, and if she made that choice, it would mean that George Sr. had lost two relatives at the same time.

The Chris family didn't raise her for fourteen years in vain, and she shook her head with tears in her eyes: "I'm sorry Dad, I can't leave George." Forgive me for letting you down, but I love you as much as I love Kelly. ”

The daughter is grown up and loving. Humane and know to think about others.

This result made Han Jun very disappointed, but at the same time very relieved, and hurriedly said lightly: "I love you too, baby, I respect your decision." Needless to say, I'm sorry, you did nothing wrong, George Sr. needs you more than I do now, and I'm proud that you made that choice. ”

When it comes to educating their children, the Chris family really doesn't know how many times stronger than the old Han family.

I think of my son who has been in a car accident for decades, and I think of my grandson who has not been heard from for decades. Old Man Han sighed secretly, pulled his great-granddaughter into his arms and sighed: "Baby, you are also my pride, the pride of our whole family." ”

As he spoke. The doorbell rang.

The visiting guests embarrassed Zhang Lin and made Lawyer Han even more embarrassed.

"Hi, Morgan."

"Hi, Han." Yaoyao's mother bit her lip and hugged him lightly, then walked to the old man's side, squatted down and greeted, "Grandpa." How have you been all these years, please forgive me for not having time to see you. ”

"Good, good boy."

Old Man Han pointed at Zhang Lin and introduced with a smile: "Xiaojun's girlfriend should be his fiancée to be exact." ”

may be in a different environment, Morgan is far more open than Zhang Lin, got up and forced a smile: "Professor, Michelle often talks to me about you on the phone. John Morgan, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

"Zhang Lin, it's a pleasure to meet you."

As if knowing that she was embarrassed, Morgan said sincerely, "Professor, I had a relationship with Han and had Michelle, but it was a good memory, just a memory. In addition, I am not a good mother, I was not able to raise me, and when I did, Michelle was no longer used to living with me.

If she doesn't make a choice, if she makes the next choice to live with you, I'...... I...... I'm sorry, I don't know how to speak, it's a bit hard to speak. In short, she is a good child who is sensible, she will not cause you trouble, she will love you as much as she loves me and Han. ”

It's not easy to be a stepmother, and it's not easy to be a biological mother.

Hearing her heartfelt words, Zhang Lin was very moved, and couldn't help but say: "I am convinced of this, in fact, we get along well, and we are very good friends." Frankly, I'm very much looking forward to living with Michelle, but she's made the choice, she's going to be with your father. ”

"Baby, really?"

The little girl nodded her head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry Mommy, George just lost Kelly, and he can't lose me anymore, I think it's better." ”

Didn't choose her, and also didn't choose Han, Morgan knew how difficult this decision was for his daughter, and said in a choked voice: "George must be happy, you are his angel and our pride." ”

If you can meet once, you can see each other for the second time, Han Jun didn't want the old stubborn to think that he was too selfish, so he asked about the current situation of the "old lover", talked to his daughter, and sent the two out of the door.

Late at night, Han Jun and Zhang Lin were lying on the bed tossing and turning. One was still excited, the other was in a complicated mood, talked a lot, talked for a long time, and didn't fall asleep until more than three o'clock in the morning.

Early the next morning, a family of three put on black dresses and white flowers and walked to the funeral ceremony.

The cemetery is next to the church, and it is full of lush water pines, with lush branches and evergreen canopies. The east, south, and west sides are densely packed with tombstones, but there are very few tombstones on the north side, because according to the doctrine, the north side is where the altar where the gospel is read, and the main purpose of the gospel is to make sinners repent, so the north side is set up for those sinners who need to be saved, and it is a special place to bury criminals, murderers, or suicides.

Almost all members of Chris's family arrived, and the undertaker placed rows of chairs around the grave for relatives to mourn.

After the pastor finished praying, the people covered the grave one by one in order of their relationship with Professor Kelly, which was only symbolic. The workers then drove the bulldozer. The grave was quickly filled in, compacted with an electric rammer, and covered with turquoise.

After the funeral, the relatives who are not too busy get together. Have a meal together to express sympathy and condolences to Kelly. Unlike the usual gatherings, the meal was not served by George Sr., but by the guests bringing their own food.

Mr. Han has been in the United States for decades and does not know how many funerals he has attended. Of course, knowing these customs, I let the restaurant prepare a sumptuous meal early. The judge knew that he had a lot of money and knew that this was his heart, so he didn't say anything, and just asked the waiter who delivered the food to carry the food and drink into the garden.

I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and the two old men have released their suspicions again, and the eldest brother-in-law Walker walked up to Han Jun and asked with a puzzled face: "Han, I heard that you have returned to China." As far as I know, you're mixing well in New York, why? ”

"That's my hometown. There are my relatives over there, how are you? ”

The Chris family is a family of lawyers, half of the family members are lawyers or law-related work, Walker shrugged his shoulders and said embarrassedly: "I'm still in Miami, I just jumped out and started a law firm with a few friends, it was difficult at first, but I think it will get better slowly." ”

Not everyone is so lucky, a lawyer under the age of forty in the United States is really not easy to mix, Han Jun put down the cup and said, "You are so capable." If you fight so hard, you will definitely get better. If we have the opportunity, we may be able to work together. ”

"Can you tell me?"

"No kidding, I'm down to business. Besides, if you hadn't helped me out. I don't know what it's like to be bullied by Gonzalez's gang of bastards. ”

American funerals are different from those in China, where you can cry and laugh when you want to laugh, and if you can cause the funeral attendees to laugh, it will make people remember the voice and smile of the deceased when they were alive. Leave people with more good memories of the deceased.

The mood was not so depressed, and there was no fear of attending the funeral, not to mention that the funeral was over, and Walker, although still in pain, couldn't help but quip: "You owe me so much, and if you count Morgan's affairs, you owe me a lot." ”

Han Jun glanced back at the "old lover" and her husband, shook his head and said, "I owe you, but Morgan's business can't be counted." ”

"Well, as long as you owe me, there's a chance to work together once. I know you can get big business, and I won't let you down. ”

Erin can't go to court, she can't be busy alone, and it's too troublesome to run around, she really needs a partner in the United States, especially Bai Xiaoqian and they have those new businesses.

Han Jun took out his business card, turned his back to the guests and whispered: "Big business is hard to find, there are many small businesses, investment immigration and study abroad, etc." If you are interested, please contact me. ”

Walker grimaced, put away the list and said, "The whole world knows that the Chinese are rich, and I am very interested." ”

reached a cooperation intention with the eldest brother-in-law, and the second brother-in-law, who served as a federal judge's assistant, came again, and the three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, recalling the interesting things more than ten years ago, Yaoyao suddenly ran over: "Dad, uncle, George asked us to go to the study, he has something to tell us." ”

"Okay baby, let's go."

Walking into the study, several other direct family members had arrived, and looking at his daughter's restrained and uneasy appearance, Han Jun knew that it had something to do with her.

The old stubborn pulled Yaoyao down to his side, and said with a look of relief: "As we all know, Michelle made the most important choice in her life last night, which was very difficult and amazing. But I'm getting old, and I want to get out of here and go to Texas to see you Uncle White. If it feels good, I even plan to spend the rest of my life there. ”

It's normal to see an injury and move when you're not feeling well.

It wasn't surprising that he was going to Texas, as it was where the Chris's ancestors lived, and there was still a farm that belonged to the Chriss.

Walker glanced sideways at his siblings and asked in a low voice, "When are you going to leave, and what do you need us to do?" ”

"When I find a new judge to replace me, I won't need you to do anything, if you have to do it, then you have time to call me a few more times."

Old Stubborn embraced the little angel with whom he had lived for fourteen years, and continued: "I must say that Michelle can no longer follow me, she should live with her father or mother. If you are not used to going to Chicago, and Han has a career in China and cannot return to the United States for the time being, then I hope you can accept her......"

The little girl was anxious, and hurriedly turned around and said, "George, I don't want to leave you, I like the farm, I like Grandpa White, and I like to live with you." ”

The mountains and rivers are poor and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village.

How could Han Jun miss this opportunity for the father-daughter reunion, and blurted out: "George, I can let go of China's business at any time, as long as I can be with Michelle, let me do anything." ”

His reaction made Morgan embarrassed, and he hesitated for a long time not knowing how to speak.

Of course, the old stubborn knew that his daughter had her daughter's hardships, pushed Yaoyao away, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Michelle, the farm is a place for the elderly, you can't be with a bunch of old men, and I will be comforted there, and I won't be lonely." You have to make a new choice, with Morgan, with Han, with Uncle Walker...... Whatever you choose but me. ”

"George!"

"Obedient, my little angel, don't let old George down."

Grandpa has made up his mind, Yaoyao can only bite the bullet and say: "Since this is the case, then I will be with my father." ”

Han Jun was overjoyed, hugged his daughter tightly and choked up, "Okay, we're together." George, thank you for this opportunity. We'll see you often, I promise, I swear. ”

Knowing that this would be the result, George Chris sighed lightly, took out a stack of papers from the drawer, and said expressionlessly: "The first one was left by Kelly to Michelle, she didn't have much money, just $30,000, and I had already helped Michelle buy insurance; The second is some of the texts on guardianship, and tomorrow morning we will go together to the civil court; Finally, there is an agreement, even though it is not legally valid, I still need you to sign it and faithfully fulfill it. ”

"Don't say one, a hundred is fine."

"I'll talk about it after reading it."

It's not an agreement, it's a homeschooling guide.

What Yaoyao can and can't do before the age of eighteen, how many hours of books she has to read a day, what books to read, what time to go to bed, what time to wake up, pray before eating, how many social activities she has to go to church every week, how many social activities she has to participate in every week, no matter how big or small, there are more than 300 entries on four pages.

Han Jun was very moved, and nodded again and again: "George, I believe I can be a good father." I've been working hard for the past fourteen years, and I won't let you down, and Michelle won't. ”

George Chris shook his head and said, "Han, I never doubted your love for Michelle, but I was worried that you and the old guy outside were too doting. A $2 million trust, a $1.37 million house, not being with you has given so much, if together God knows what you would do.

None of the Chris children had ever lived in such luxury, and I didn't want to see a repeat of the tragedy and see the old guy ruining my Michelle like his son, and that's why I didn't really agree to give him custody back then. ”

With Old Man Han's concept of "girls are rich", what he was worried about could really happen.

Han Jun finally understood, grabbed his hand and said gratefully: "George, please forgive me for blaming you, in fact, I didn't resent you anymore two years ago." Thank you for what you have done for me and Michelle. Tragedy will not be repeated, I love, but never dote on, I promise, I swear to God. (To be continued.) )
