Chapter 171: Funeral
It is rare to see women on the construction site, especially Ji Xiao is still the vice president of Jing's, and guessing why Ji Xiao will work here has become a guessing game after dinner.
After taking charge of this project, Ji Xiao hardly went to Jing's mansion, even a small detail. She'll be watching it herself.
It's cold, it's winter. Even the workers on the construction site can't stand being outdoors day by day, but Ji Xiao seems to be completely unable to feel the cold of the weather, and every detail will be confirmed in person.
When the foundation was laid, Ji Xiao was confirming whether it was feasible, but a warm voice sounded from behind him: "Xiaoxiao? "Servitude skills.
Ji Xiao turned his head when he heard the sound, Shen Zhiyuan stood less than three steps away from her, and when he saw that it was really her, he was instantly surprised and said, "It's really you." β
Ji Xiao took off the mask and said with a smile: "Senior brother, I haven't seen each other for so long, you can recognize me when I wear a mask." β
These days, she is on the construction site. It was sunburned and blown by the wind, and her face was very dry, and she looked several years old, Shen Zhiyuan joked with her: "If you take off your mask, I may not be able to recognize you." β
Ji Xiao laughed awkwardly twice.
With a warm smile on his face, Shen Zhiyuan pointed to a restaurant not far from the construction site: "It's almost noon, how about we go have a meal together?" β
Ji Xiao pondered for a moment, smiled and nodded: "It's okay." β
The last time I met Shen Zhiyuan, it was because Shen Jihui was sent to prison by Jing Moxian, plus the previous events, the atmosphere between Ji Xiao and Shen Zhiyuan was a little awkward, and Shen Zhiyuan opened his mouth first: "The dishes in this restaurant are all good." Xiaoxiao, you order. β
Ji Xiao is very accustomed to bringing the menu, when she was in college, she and Xu Suixin often lived tightly, rarely eating out, every time she ate with Shen Zhiyuan, he was always the one who paid for it.
It seems that from that time on, Xu Suixin especially likes to follow Shen Zhiyuan to eat, of course, Shen Zhiyuan has always smiled. Never said half a "no".
"Xiaoxiao, you look at the serious appearance of the menu, it's still the same as back then."
Shen Zhiyuan took off the scarf and put it on the chair on the side, his voice was gentle, still as gentle as before.
Ji Xiao smiled and didn't make a sound.
Back then, the reason why she looked so carefully was not because she wanted to see her favorite dishes on the menu, but because she was comparing, comparing which dish was cheaper, and spending other people's money, she was always unhappy.
Moreover, after Shen Zhiyuan invited them. Ji Xiao will always try his best to return this little kindness to Shen Zhiyuan.
In the end, Shen Zhiyuan made it clear and said to her: "Xiaoxiao, if you are so polite, we will not be friends." β
Ji Xiao gave up at this time.
A lot of the past time is like an old movie, coming one after another, Ji Xiao admits that she has not yet reached the age where she wants to recall the past, but when she orders food, there are still a lot of pictures of when she was still in school in her mind.
Ji Xiao ordered two dishes, pushed the menu to Shen Zhiyuan, and subconsciously said, "Senior brother, I've ordered it, what else can you order?" β
When she was in school, she always asked him that.
Shen Zhiyuan naturally took it, casually ordered a few signature dishes in this store, and handed the menu to the waiter.
"Xiaoxiao, do you know, Teacher Lu is gone."
Shen Zhiyuan suddenly said.
Ji Xiao was stunned for a moment, and asked a little incredulously: "What did you say?" β
"Teacher Lu is gone, and I just received a notice from my classmates today."
Shen Zhiyuan's face had a deep sense of sadness, in the design institute, he and Ji Xiao used to be Lu Guoshan's protΓ©gΓ©s, and even Ji Xiao used to be Lu Guoshan's daughter-in-law.
Such a big thing, Ji Xiao didn't know.
For a while, Ji Xiao's heart was in a mess, if you only talk about Lu Guoshan, Ji Xiao is still full of respect for him, he is undoubtedly a good teacher, but unfortunately, the family is too bad.
"Teacher Lu's funeral is the day after tomorrow, Xiaoxiao, are you going?"
Shen Zhiyuan asked softly.
Ji Xiao came back to his senses from his thoughts and asked, "Senior brother, what did you say just now?" β
"Teacher Lu's funeral the day after tomorrow, will you go?"
Ji Xiao thought for a while and didn't answer, she really couldn't be sure, if she just went to a funeral, she would go without hesitation, but what about Su Yunqing? What about Lu Suxia? They hate themselves to death, and if they go by themselves, what will be the consequences?
Shen Zhiyuan saw that Ji Xiao was silent, and smiled: "Xiaoxiao, am I talking too much?" β
He passed by here and saw Ji Xiao, who had only met her by accident, and didn't come to tell her about it.
Ji Xiao shook his head, after all, Lu Guoshan is also his respected teacher, even if he didn't have a good time in the Lu family in the past few years, but it was not because of Lu Guoshan.
She pondered for a while, "Senior brother, I'll go, where is the teacher's funeral?" β
"Jingzhou No. 15 Funeral Home."
After meeting Shen Zhiyuan, Ji Xiao thought about it, and returned directly to Jing's Mansion, after all, Lu Guoshan was Jing Moxian's biological father, and he needed to know about it.
When she went back, Jing Moxian was in a meeting, and Ji Xiao was waiting for him in the office.
After the meeting, Jing Moxian was slightly stunned when he saw Ji Xiao in the office, put the information at hand on the table, and looked at her meaningfully: "What, did you come back because you missed me?" β
He got closer and closer, but Ji Xiao stared at him: "Lu Guoshan is dead." β
Jing Moxian raised her eyebrows slightly, and after a while, she spread her hands and asked her, "So what?" β
Ji Xiao didn't expect that Jing Moxian would react like this, isn't Lu Guoshan his biological father? Does he not care at all?
Ji Xiao looked at him incredulously: "Don't you feel sad, or, don't you want to go to his funeral?" β
Jing Moxian sat casually on the desk, and said in a light tone: "He is my biological father, and the others, does it have anything to do with me?" β
Even, Jing Moxian hadn't seen him a few times, and if it wasn't for the need, he even felt that he would never meet Lu Guoshan in his life.
Ji Xiao looked at Jing Moxian, who was so cold and calm, stunned, and finally, nodded: "I thought you would care a lot, it seems that I thought too much." β
Flesh and blood affection can be indifferent to him to such an extent, Ji Xiao is still the first time to see it, she just wanted to go out, but Jing Moxian grabbed her arm: "Irrelevant people, why do you care?" Ji Xiao, I want you to understand that many people will disappear from your life after all, even grief has no effect. β
He said this coldly and sensibly.
Ji Xiao turned around and suddenly looked at him seriously: "So, one day, I also left you, do you also think that it doesn't matter?" β
As soon as her words fell, Jing Moxian's face sank, he tightly clasped her waist, and there was an unusual firmness in his tone: "There will never be a day, because I will never allow you to leave my world again." β
It seems that in his heart, there are still important things.
Ji Xiao suddenly smiled, without any meaning, she just wanted to laugh.
At the beginning, for the sake of Jing Moxin, he didn't even want his own flesh and blood, let alone a simple biological father who had never raised him?
Ji Xiao suddenly felt that he was really doing something redundant, and there was no need for him to run back and tell him about such a thing.
Ji Xiao pushed Jing Moxian away, left his shackles and said, "There is still something on the construction site, I'll go first." β
Jing Moxian grabbed her arm and pulled her back easily, and he stared at her tightly: "Don't forget, the agreement between us." β
Ji Xiao nodded: "No." β
There is still a long time to be completed in the project, and it will be about the beginning of spring next year, and the reason why Ji Xiao will personally certify every detail little by little is perhaps, he just wants to make the progress of this project a little slower, a little slower.
On the day of Lu Guoshan's funeral, Ji Xiao specially wore a black windbreaker, she put on a hat and a mask, and she didn't want to cause a commotion at Lu Guoshan's funeral.
When she arrived at the funeral home, it was still early, Ji Xiao stood outside, many of her classmates were familiar faces to her, but Ji Xiao didn't come forward to talk, she just put her wreath there in order, everyone signed, only her wreath was blank.
Lu Guoshan's body was placed in the funeral home, Su Yunqing stood next to Lu Guoshan's body, but there was no sadness on his face, Lu Suxia stood in front of Su Yunqing, his face was also stiff, and there was no expression.
When was the last time you saw Mr. Lu?
Ji Xiao thought hard about it, as if after she came out of prison that time, she went to have a meal with Lu Guoshan.
I heard that Mr. Lu died of a heart attack, his heart was not good, and with so many troubled things, he finally collapsed, and this time, because of the current state of his family, he finally failed to get up again.
Ji Xiao shook her head, if she stayed in the Lu family, maybe Teacher Lu would not leave this world so soon, but people are selfish, and she can't support such a large family by herself.
Shen Zhiyuan also came in in black clothes, he walked directly to Su Yunqing, took out a paper bag from his pocket, and put it in Su Yunqing's hand.
"Master, this is a little bit of the student's heart, you can accept it."
Everyone knows what is inside that paper bag, and many students have given them such paper bags, but Shen Zhiyuan gave it, which is extra thick.
Su Yunqing touched the paper bag with a lot of weight, and a bright color suddenly appeared in her eyes, and even a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, held Shen Zhiyuan's hand tightly, and by the way, pulled Lu Suxia next to Shen Zhiyuan, and introduced: "This is my daughter Lu Suxia." β
Shen Zhiyuan nodded at her slightly, and then walked to the side lightly.
Ji Xiao looked at this scene and suddenly sneered, it turned out that this was the real purpose of holding a funeral for Lu Guoshan, after so long, Su Yunqing was still the same, treating wealth as her life, and even, did she treat this funeral as a blind date scene?
Seeing that Shen Zhiyuan was not bad, so he introduced his daughter to him so that he could take the opportunity to make another fortune?
Sure enough, after a while, Lu Suxia moved to Shen Zhiyuan's side, what they said, because they were too far away, Ji Xiao didn't hear it, but she knew with her toes what she was talking about, it was nothing more than pretending to be pitiful and winning some sympathy.
Ji Xiao turned his eyes and walked outside, there were still no people coming, the funeral had not officially begun, today was Lu Guoshan's funeral, but the weather was unusually good, cloudless, and sunny.
Ji Xiao walked to a secluded corner, took off the mask, and just wanted to breathe, Shen Zhiyuan patted her shoulder from behind: "Why are you here, I've been looking for you." She turned to look at Shen Zhiyuan, and said with some meaning: "Senior brother, did someone take a fancy to you just now?" β
"Who?"
Shen Zhiyuan looked puzzled.
Ji Xiao saw that he didn't react, so he didn't poke it anymore, but just smiled and said, "It's nothing." β
Shen Zhiyuan asked her quite suspiciously: "Xiaoxiao, is there something wrong with Teacher Lu's daughter's brain?" β
"What's wrong?"
"Just now, she kept pulling me and said a bunch of inexplicable things to me."
Shen Zhiyuan looked puzzled, just now, after he left, he was beside him, preparing to place his wreath in a suitable seat, but Lu Suxia came over, greeted him with a smile, and introduced himself seriously.
Shen Zhiyuan felt very disgusted at the time when his father died, and he was like that, but out of politeness, he simply responded to Su Xia's words, and when Yu Guang saw Ji Xiao, Shen Zhiyuan immediately made an excuse and left the hall in a hurry.
Ji Xiao smiled, she knew that Su Yunqing and Lu Suxia were really two wonders, and it was also his sorrow that Mr. Lu could marry such a wife and give birth to such a daughter.
The two of them were talking while talking, and suddenly, a car that Ji Xiao was very familiar with drove over, it was a car belonging to the prison, although the word police was also written on it, but Ji Xiao, who often went to the prison, could see it at a glance.
Sure enough, the car stopped on the side of the road, Shen Zhiyuan and Ji Xiaoqi brushed their eyes on the car, and Shen Zhiyuan asked her with some doubts: "Xiaoxiao, does Teacher Lu still have students in prison?" β
Ji Xiao smiled and didn't make a sound.
If she wasn't mistaken, the person in the car was probably Lu Suyao.
Sure enough, after the car door opened, two prison guards took Lu Suyao out of the car.
He was shaved and looked languished and without any energy.
