Chapter 32: Farewell
Inside the funeral home
On the empty wall hung a black and white photo of Gu Tian's kind and smiling face, and that smile will live forever in the memory of others.
He lay quietly in the ice coffin surrounded by flowers, the ice coffin specially treated with ice cubes can ensure that the body can be kept intact for two weeks in the hot July and August, etc., at this moment, the surroundings are as quiet as death, the sudden cold indoor and outdoor temperature difference and the departure of relatives make Gu Hanyi feel cold at this moment.
He sat alone next to the ice coffin and said his father's final goodbyes.
knew that even if he said more, his father would not wake up.
His clear eyes seemed to have fallen into an abyss, and his dull gaze stayed on Gu Tian's pale face for a long time.
Long.
"Dad! You know what! Since I was a child, I knew that I was a person who was abandoned by my own mother, you always said that she went to a far away place, and when I grew up, I understood everything, it was just a white lie you told in order to protect me, in my opinion, a place with a family is home, and now, without you, I am completely an orphan! ”
Gu Hanyi muttered to himself alone, as if it was the same chat as usual, and the echoes that came from time to time seemed to laugh at him, yes, now! He literally became an orphan.
Unable to get a response from his father anymore, Gu Hanyi sneered self-deprecatingly.

The screeching of high heels came from the doorway, breaking the quiet time that belonged only to father and son.
Gu Hanyi frowned, and said to the lying body in the ice coffin, "Dad! It's torture to live with a woman you don't love for a lifetime! ”
He shifted his gaze to the door, and sure enough, it was Lu Meilan, she and Lu Yiyang walked in one after the other.
The two of them dressed solemnly today and both wore black clothes, Lu Meilan wore a chic black hip skirt suit, and a top hat with mesh covering her face on her head, like a royal lady, cold and arrogant.
And Lu Yiyang also rarely wore a set of private customized black dresses, with a straight nose bridge, angular facial features and short brown curly hair, giving people the feeling of a British aristocratic prince.
Lu Yiyang followed Lu Meilan and slowly approached, he looked at Gu Hanyi who was sitting next to the ice coffin, and the two made brief eye contact, with a little more distance and less familiarity.
"Huh! What a warm father-son time! Lu Meilan walked to the ice coffin and looked at Gu Hanyi's cold eyes.
The cynicism provoked his anger.
"Mom! That's enough! Dad is no longer here, how can you still say such things in front of Dad's spiritual position! Lu Yiyang seemed to protest, he walked up to Lu Meilan and reprimanded him dissatisfiedly.
Lu Meilan's face was blue and white for a while, and she was opposed by her son who was dedicated to defending her, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart, and it was in front of Gu Hanyi.
She glared at her son and said, "Shut up!" ”
Lu Yiyang was suppressed by his mother's intimidation, he took a step forward and wanted to continue arguing, Lu Meilan swept over with a sharp look, as if warning, and finally he stood obediently behind Lu Meilan.
And Gu Hanyi on the opposite side was like a spectator watching the mother and son who were infighting.
Gu Hanyi glanced at the good son behind Lu Meilan, he was annoyed by his brother's excessive meekness.
Lu Yiyang is in a very awkward position, with his mother on one side and his brother on the other. He was very embarrassed and involuntarily, Lu Meilan now does not allow him to get close to Gu Hanyi, this is to completely separate the brotherly relationship between the two.
"I still call you Aunt Lu today, which is already a great respect for you, but in terms of what you do, you don't deserve my respect, from now on, you can do it yourself! You will get what you deserve, but what doesn't belong to you, I, Gu Hanyi, promised in front of my dad today that you-Lu Meilan will definitely not get half a point. ”
Gu Hanyi got up and left, and when he passed by Lu Meilan's side, he looked at Lu Meilan's unstoppable eyes, and finally dropped his words and strode out of the door of the funeral home.
"Did you know? I've done all this for you! Did you hear what he just said? From now on, let me behave myself, is this what a junior should say to his elders? Son, only you are the only heir of the Gu Group! In the future, you will think more about how difficult it is for me, do you want to give away what belongs to you to others? After watching Gu Hanyi leave, Lu Meilan couldn't help but start educating Lu Yiyang.
"Mom! I'm not uncommon with those things! I just want a safe and happy home! Now we are my brother's only family, he is capable and excellent, even if the Gu family is really handed over to him, I have no objection. ”
However, the words of reversing right and wrong with both hard and soft did not have much effect in Lu Yiyang's ears, but it was his words that made Lu Meilan dizzy.
"You!" Lu Meilan's angry hand rubbed her aching temples.
She had a feeling of smashing her fist on cotton, and Lu Meilan had completely lost her son's oil and salt.
"Get out! Get out! Let me be quiet for a moment! ”
Lu Meilan drove away her son, looked at Lu Yiyang who turned around and walked out, and she leaned limply on the ice coffin.
When she looked up, she saw Gu Tian's all-too-familiar face hanging in the black and white photo frame on the wall.
"Gu Tian! Why! What qualifications does an illegitimate child have to inherit the Gu family? Lu Meilan looked at the posthumous photo with emotion, and the fine lines overflowing from the corners of her eyes were the testimony of those years.
She was unwilling, why did Gu Tian value Gu Hanyi so much, her son in the main room could not be compared to the son born to her lover.
In response to her, there was silence, the gloomy atmosphere in the air filled the entire empty funeral home, a smart person behind her, as if a cool breeze was blowing in, the hairs on her back stood up, and Lu Meilan was in awe.
She stood up and staggered out of the funeral home.
After all, she has done a lot of shady things, and it is impossible for her to face the people who have left calmly.
