69, Pujiang Fog (9)
An Ran's funeral was scheduled two days later. After An Ran's accident, Anxin has been busy taking care of An Ran's aftermath, Ge Bin has not contacted her again, he doesn't know if Anxin has been doing well in the past two days. Thinking of her heartbroken appearance that night, Ge Bin's whole heart involuntarily tugged.
This day was supposed to be a rest day, but Ge Bin stayed in the police station all morning because he had to work overtime. In the end, he decided to take the opportunity of condolences to visit Anxin.
"Boss, I want to take an hour off in the afternoon, can you see it?" Ge Bin stood in front of Huang Fangyuan's desk and said tremblingly.
Huang Fangyuan didn't ask Ge Bin about his leave, but after glancing at him lightly, he asked, "Is one hour enough?" ”
"Enough, enough." Ge Bin was overjoyed, "Boss, don't you even ask me why I'm taking leave?" ”
"What else can you do?" Huang Fangyuan asked rhetorically like an uncertain prophet, and without waiting for Ge Bin to answer, he changed his tone and admonished, "Come back early after the funeral." At the end of the year, there are a lot of things to do, so don't delay your work. ”
"Don't worry, I know it." Ge Bin readily agreed.
"Remember to buy me and Lisa a flower basket as a token of condolences. Lisa is pregnant and can't go, but the intention to convey still has to be conveyed. ”
"I can't see it, boss, you pay a lot of attention to etiquette." Ge Bin suddenly joked about Huang Fangyuan, and then met Huang Fangyuan's glaring gaze, and his neck shrank in fright, and he slipped away.
After asking Anxin about the location of the farewell ceremony for An Ran's body, Ge Bin came to the Shibei Funeral Home in Pujiang City at one o'clock in the afternoon. He stared at the time displayed on his phone screen as he walked briskly through the huge parking lot towards the memorial hall. On the way, he saw Xu Zhonghui's hidden figure in the gap between parked vehicles, and there were two people standing next to him, a man and a woman. Ge Bin arrived at the memorial service as soon as possible, and he had no time to care.
There were only five minutes left before the memorial service, and Anxin stood at the door of the memorial hall in black clothes and black pants, greeting the crowd of people who came to mourn. Looking from a distance, although Anxin's eyes were red and swollen and his face was pale, his mental outlook was still good, and Ge Bin breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his eyes again and observed the dense crowd in front of him, most of them were dressed in formal clothes, and at a glance he knew that they were all business elites. Except for a few who are more enthusiastic with Anxin, most of them are still close to An Huaisheng, and obviously these are his friends in the business field.
At this moment, Anxin's eyes met Ge Bin, and he quickly walked towards his location.
"Thank you so much for coming to Enron's funeral after you are so busy with work." Anxin's voice sounded slightly hoarse.
"Why be polite to me?" As he spoke, Ge Bin took out two white envelopes from his jacket pocket, "This is mine, this one belongs to Lisa and his father." Lisa is not very convenient to come over, and our boss is too busy with official business to take a break, so he entrusted me to do it for him. ”
Anxin took the envelope, and before the word "Xie" was spoken, a crystal teardrop had quietly dripped down. With a "click", tears of peace of mind fainted a plum blossom on the surface of the envelope paper. With a "click", Anxin's tears seemed to drip into Ge Bin's heart, and a crisp sound sounded. Ge Bin's heart was followed by a pang. He wanted to reach out and pat Anxin's back to comfort him, but he felt that such an abrupt gesture seemed inappropriate, so he lowered his hand halfway through.
"Check in at the check-in desk!"
An An reached out to wipe away the tears and led Ge Bin to the sign-in place set up at the entrance of the memorial hall.
"Where's this?"
Just as Ge Bin bowed down to sign his autograph, the staff of the funeral home sent two huge wreaths filled with white chrysanthemums. Ge Bin heard that it was the wreath he had ordered when he entered the door just now, so he hurriedly raised his hand to signal that it would be sent here.
"Where do you put the wreath?" Ge Bin asked about the peace of mind beside him.
An Xin quickly recruited his little assistant and whispered where the wreath would be placed.
After the little assistant guided the people from the funeral home to place the wreath, Ge Bin spoke again: "Where's grandpa?" Is he okay? ”
"He's in the hall. We were afraid that he would not be able to stand still, so we prepared a wheelchair for him to sit and rest. An An turned sideways and looked down the hall, "An Ran's death hit him hard, and I think he has aged a lot overnight." The last time you came to my house, I saw that my grandfather was a very lively person, especially like to chat with young people, and he was always very familiar with people. However, he hadn't spoken much in the past two days, and had been sitting alone in the corner in a daze. ”
As he spoke, he heard the voice of the staff calling from the memorial hall, and the memorial service was about to begin, and the crowd began to gather in the center of the hall.
Ge Bin didn't have time to greet the rest of the An family, so he had to wait for the memorial service to end before coming forward to pay his respects. He followed the flow of people into the memorial hall. As soon as you step into the hall, you will be greeted by a solemn atmosphere. Ge Bin took a closer look and saw that the area of this hall was twice the size of an ordinary hall. The crowd that had been crowded at the door suddenly became thinner the moment they entered the hall. Ge Bin visually estimated that there could be at least one or two hundred people standing here. The sides of the hall are lined with wreaths, baskets and couplets. Ge Bin found that the two wreaths he sent were actually placed in the front position, and those sent by customers and partners were placed behind them. Obviously, they were treated at the level of family, which shows how much Anxin values himself and Lisa.
Since Anxin entered the hall, he immediately walked to Anda Fei's side and pushed him towards the center of the hall. At this moment, she was holding a wheelchair and standing behind Anda Fei. On their left hand side is An Huaisheng, and on their right hand side is Xu Zhonghui. The four of them were silent, welcoming Enron's arrival together. Ge Bin turned his head to look at the crowd around him, and found that a man and a woman who had appeared in the parking lot with Ge Bin earlier were now standing five steps behind him. The man stared at the ground with an indifferent face, unable to see joy or sorrow; The woman bit her lip and looked straight ahead with a complicated expression.
There was a lot of mourning and joy all around, and the memorial service for An Ran officially began. The memorial service was short and magnificent, just like the impression given by the people of the An family, clean and simple.
An Dafei insisted on sending An Ran to the last leg of the journey, and the An family had to follow them all to the spark room. In order to say a solemn goodbye to the An family, Ge Bin has been waiting outside the door of the memorial hall. He didn't know anyone who came to mourn, and he didn't have anyone to talk to, so he stood alone in the corner and fiddled with his mobile phone.
Ge Bin looked through the news in the work group while paying attention to the movements around him. After a while, An Huaisheng's personal secretary appeared in the crowd with two of his subordinates, and while distributing gifts to everyone, they organized the orderly evacuation of the crowd. It was only at this time that Ge Bin noticed that the man and woman he had noticed before had disappeared from the crowd at some point. He looked around, but he didn't find the slightest, so it can be seen that the two must have left quietly as soon as the farewell ceremony was over.
