659. Death
The old lady also teased Xiaoguang and gave him her treasured jade wrench. Ning Xueqing got a jade bracelet that the old lady had worn for decades, and as for Sugar Candy, it was a string of ruby necklaces worth nearly one million.
These three things are the old lady's favorite, but when she gave the gift, she looked indifferent, and said: "It's all worthless gadgets, take them to play, anyway, I don't have any good things for you." ”
Her knife mouth and tofu heart, coupled with her much thinner appearance than before, made Ning Xueqing's heart soften.
personally supported the old lady, shh
After a round of pleasantries, the old lady called everyone to the council chamber.
Everyone roughly understood what she was going to do, but everyone who had a little status in the Li family came to witness this exciting scene.
The old lady sat at the head of the conference hall, next to Huo Bufan, Ning Xueqing held Tangtang and stood next to Xiaoguang.
Originally, she was going to arrange a seat for her, but the old lady said that the rules of the Li family, the man is still there, and the woman can't be seated. Because to sit is to be in power.
Men are in power, women are also in power, that is the meaning of seizing power and dividing the family, which is unlucky.
For the sake of her short life, Ning Xueqing did not object, and stood by the side very obediently.
After everyone arrived, the old lady paused for crutches, and then said, "Presumably, you all know what you are calling the big guy for today, right?" ”
"Yes." Someone replied.
"It's good to know, the so-called back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, I am old, and many of you are also old. The world of the future will be left to young people. As the old lady spoke, she suddenly stood up and shouted, "Li Shuheng!" ”
"I'm here." Huo Bufan stood up and walked in front of her.
The old lady lifted the crutches in her hand, handed it to him, looked him in the eyes, and said in a serious tone: "The Li family has developed for a hundred years, and I have been in charge of the Li family for decades. Be conscientious and conscientious, and dare not slack off all the time. Although the Li family declined, it was not destroyed in my hands, and I finally saved some face to see my ancestors and ancestors. ”
The old lady's words made many people gloomy.
Yes, when the Li family was at its peak, it had assets of as much as 100 billion.
Although it has quadrupled now, it is still far from its peak state.
Looking back on those days, many people are in a trance.
Li Shengbin also opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he still didn't speak.
The old lady continued: "Today, the power of the Li family will be handed over to you. On behalf of the ancestors of the Li family, I ask you, are you willing to do your best to help the Li family move forward and protect the Li family until death like me, no matter at any time and under any circumstances? ”
Everyone's hearts were in their throats, and they stared at Huo Bufan, their ears pricked up, wanting to hear this man's response.
After a few seconds, Huo Bufan reached out and grabbed the crutch, nodded and said, "I will." ”
When the crutches fell into Huo Bufan's hands, the conference hall immediately erupted in fierce cheers, and many people jumped up happily, thinking in their hearts that with this big boss of New Hope as the leader, the future of the Li family will definitely be thriving.
Even the old lady had a little more smile on her face, showing a little ruddy, she smiled and nodded, and said, "I hope you can remember what you promised me today, and remember that you are a member of the Li family!" We may not be able to help you much, but what we can give you is a blood connection. From now on, the Li family will rely on you! ”
Huo Bufan nodded, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly found that the old lady's pupils contracted rapidly, and then fell backwards heavily.
Huo Bufan's eyes were quick, and he hugged her, and then where his fingers touched, it was stiff.
He chuckled inwardly, put his finger under the old lady's nose and tried it, and then cried out in a deep voice, "Let the doctor come!" ”
The Li family had a personal doctor, but when the doctor came, the old lady had been out of breath for a long time.
"I'm sorry, the old man is gone." The personal doctor sighed, "Please be happy with the change. ”
A group of Li family members were stunned for a few seconds, then cried bitterly, fell to the ground one after another, and kowtowed to the old man's body to say goodbye.
Ning Xueqing also took candy candy and kowtowed a few times to the old lady's body.
Although there is not much contact with this old lady, and the grievances are greater than the kindness, the deceased is the greatest.
Listening to the cries in his ears one after another, looking at the old lady lying quietly on the ground, still smiling, Huo Bufan felt inexplicably sad in his heart.
He never thought that he was a member of the Li family, but at this moment, his heart was extremely heavy, and he felt an unspeakable pressure and sense of responsibility.
The old lady has been strong all her life, even when she is dying and when she hands over power, she is still loud.
Such an old man is worthy of admiration.
And the smile she left before she died will also become a picture that the Li family will always remember.
Because she fulfilled her last wish, she left without any regrets.
But Huo Bufan felt a little guilty about the old lady in his heart.
He knew that in addition to hoping that the old lady could be in charge of the Li family, she would definitely hope that he would find out the real murderer of her son.
But Huo Bufan didn't do that, the old lady didn't say it, but it was impossible not to have the slightest idea in her heart.
It's just that she knows which is more important, and hides the deepest sorrow in the depths of her heart without saying it.
After a long time, Huo Bufan also knelt down, kowtowed respectfully to the old lady three times, and murmured: "You go all the way, Li family...... Leave it to me. ”
Whether it is the ruler of the Northwest family or the grandmother of the big boss of New Hope, the death of the old lady has caused a lot of sensation in all walks of life.
Many familiar and unfamiliar people rushed to mourn.
The Li family held a big event for this, which was very extravagant, but no one dared to say a word.
Even Huo Bufan did not express any objection to this.
The old lady has dedicated her life to the Li family, and now she should do a big deal after her death, so that she can go with more face.
Countless luxury cars, countless dignitaries and nobles, all came to burn paper and salute.
The vast majority of them came for Huo Bufan.
Huo Bufan knew this, so he didn't leave, but honestly guarded the spirits and received these guests as the head of the family.
It wasn't until three days later that the old lady's body was cremated and the ashes were sent to the family ancestral hall, and Huo Bufan left after burning the paper.
When the first seven and fifth seven are gone, he will come back to burn paper.
After leaving the Li family, Ning Xueqing suddenly wiped her tears on the road: "I suddenly feel sorry for the old man, should I take the initiative to apologize to her before?" ”
Ning Xueqing and the old lady had conflicts before, but this time, the relationship eased a lot, and no one mentioned the past.
But Ning Xueqing was soft-hearted, thinking of the past, she always felt that as a junior, she shouldn't talk to the old man like that.
Huo Bufan hugged her, patted her a few times to show comfort, and said, "It's okay, she won't blame you." ”
"I wish she had blamed me for a few words, and it would have made her feel better." Ning Xueqing choked up and said: "This kind of parting from life and death is too uncomfortable, and you are also very pitiful, grandparents, parents are gone." Husband, if you have anything unhappy in the future, just tell me, I am willing to do anything for you! ”
In Ning Xueqing's opinion, Huo Bufan is lonely now.
His closest relatives are all dead, and as for Li Shengbin's uncles and family brothers and sisters, although they are related by blood, they cannot be compared with grandparents, parents and parents.
Therefore, Ning Xueqing really hoped to do something for Huo Bufan.
Her thoughtfulness made Huo Bufan's heart gush with a warm current, no matter anything, no matter what happened, with Ning Xueqing by his side, he would feel that everything could be solved.
Just like when he was first reborn, the reason why he accepted this family was because Tangtang secretly sent him half a ham sausage.
Half a ham sausage may not even be worth two yuan, but in Huo Bufan's heart, it is worth immeasurable.
It is a family affection that cannot be measured by money, and it is what a person should and wants the most!
He was lucky enough to have it all.
"It's good to have you by my side, I don't have too many extravagant wants." Huo Bufan hugged Ning Xueqing and said.
"Dad, and my brother and me." Tangtang smiled and said, "By the way, there are also Aunt Gu and Wenwen, we will all accompany you!" ”
