Chapter 127: Complete Disappointment
Tonight was the last night before the funeral, so there were more guests than during the day, because for fear that the reporter would take the opportunity to sneak in, Zi Ling had to remind the security guards at the door to be vigilant. It's just that before she finished explaining, she suddenly saw a familiar figure in the distance walking in this direction.
Because it was night, and there was some distance, she couldn't see clearly, but such a familiar figure made her heart tug involuntarily. It's just that when she saw clearly that the person who came over was not the person she was waiting for, her heart sank involuntarily.
Although she was very reluctant to admit it, she was very worried about Situ Jiluo. From that day she learned that he had been admitted to the hospital because of stomach problems, she had an urge to go downstairs to see him, but at this time came the bad news, and when she learned the news of her father's death, she could not stand the blow and fainted, so she could not go to see him.
He should be mad about it, right?
Maybe not, because she wasn't much of an important person to him, and he would get angry when he saw her. So if she doesn't go, it shouldn't be bad for him.
But her father is gone, and he chooses not to show up because he hates her too much? Is he so disgusted that he doesn't want to come to the funeral home for the sake of his brother's face?
It's been two days, and the TV and newspapers are all in an uproar. If he had the heart, he would have come a long time ago. But until now, he hadn't even seen a human figure, and Zi Ling's heart was cold and painful.
Shaking his head and shaking the figure out of his mind, Zi Ling turned around and was about to walk back, but was stopped by a sudden voice behind him. This voice was quite unfamiliar to Zi Ling, but for some reason, it made her feel familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere.
While recalling in her memory, she also turned around, just in time to see two figures in the darkness walking in her direction. While she was stunned, the two men had already walked in front of her.
"Dad?!"
When he saw the old man in front of him, Zi Ling couldn't help but feel a little stunned and surprised. She knew that Situ Dao and her father were very good friends, and the two families were also world friends, but she never thought that he would come to his funeral in person. What's more, aren't the elderly the most taboo to participate in white affairs? And father-in-law, isn't he in the United States?
"Cut."
The woman who was holding Situ Dao heard Zi Ling's exclamation, and couldn't help but snort disdainfully, successfully leading Zi Ling's gaze to herself. Only then did Zi Ling turn his head and notice the presence of Situ Yunxi. Seeing her supporting Situ Dao and looking at her with a discriminatory look, Zi Ling could only sigh secretly in her heart.
"Yunxi!"
Regarding his daughter's rudeness, Situ Dao couldn't help but shout. It's all to blame on him, he spoiled her since she was a child, and now Situ Yunxi will become like this, he can only blame him. If it weren't for his scruples about being in public now, he would probably teach his daughter a lesson directly here.
"Xiaoxi ......"
Turning his head to face Zi Ling, Situ Dao wanted to say something, but he choked up as soon as he opened his mouth. And when Zi Ling saw Situ Dao like this, she was about to shed tears, so she wiped away the tears that were about to be shed and said to Situ Dao.
"Dad, please come in."
This time he shouted Dad, Zi Ling whispered. Because there are so many people today that if you really want to be listened to by others, you will pull things out. After all, she and Situ Jiluo were secretly married, and no one knew about the relationship between the two of them.
Zi Ling turned around and walked in front to lead the way, her father died, and the family is now in charge of the house, and all the mourners are received by her brother, so she led them to find her brother's traces. Although Situ Dao is her father-in-law, she has not met many times, so she is not familiar with it, and she really can't deal with the so-called sister-in-law.
It's just that the purple spirit with this thought is doomed to disappointment. Because she searched for a long time, she couldn't find Yan Xinuo. But she wasn't in a hurry, because she understood. Brother, he must be very busy tonight, because many of my father's friends in the business world have come, and he must be overwhelmed.
"Xiaoxi, you go and get busy with you, you don't have to accompany us to greet us today, I'm here to see my old friend."
Seeing this room full of people, Situ Dao said to Zi Ling very reasonably, and then put aside Situ Yunxi, who had been supporting him, and walked to the spiritual platform alone. Looking at the photo of his friend for many years in the center, Situ Dao finally burst into tears and sighed infinitely.
Zi Ling watched from the side, and his heart was very touched. No matter what happened between her and Situ Jiluo, at least the fathers of the two were really close friends. However, even when his father came, he still didn't show up, which really made Zi Ling's heart sad.
Just as Zi Ling was thinking about his thoughts, suddenly there was a commotion in the independent room on one side. Originally, she wanted to walk over to see, but suddenly she saw Yan Xinuo walking out with a blushing face, and he was followed by several people.
Zi Ling didn't know these people, but looking at their age, she had guessed that it was likely to be her father's old employee. Originally, she didn't know the content of the conversation, but the chattering voices of those people gave Zi Ling the answer.
"Mr. Yan, the investment case is about to expire, so you better make a decision as soon as possible. It is beneficial for the company to lend it, and it used to be ...... when Yan Dong was there"
"Xiaonuo, I've been working hard with your dad since the beginning, you can't turn your face and deny people. It's just that my son wants to borrow the big tree of the Yan clan to enjoy the shade when he opens a new company, you can't cut off this road for me! ”
Zi Ling only roughly understood these two sentences, and what others were saying, whether she understood it or not, but it was generally some business matters of the company. Looking at these people, she couldn't help but feel sick, and at the same time felt tired for her brother.
Are these people really people who have worked hard with their father for many years? Now that my father is still lying there, his bones are not cold, they can't wait to "bully" their brother who is not very familiar with business?!
Just when Zi Ling was so angry that he couldn't hold back his anger, he suddenly heard a cough. The sound was not loud, but it was like a bell and drum, and it suddenly shook away the people who were besieging Yan Xinuo.
Zi Ling turned around, only to find that Situ Dao had come to his brother's side at some point. Of course, the cough just now was also from him. He just made a noise to attract everyone's attention, and didn't pay attention to those people, just turned to face Yan Xinuo, and said very kindly.
"Xiaonuo, Lao Yan died, the company's affairs are not very handy, right? Don't worry, there's an uncle! It just so happens that I also have something to discuss with you, and when Lao Yan's matter is over, let's meet again and have a cup of tea. ”
The words that seem to connect with feelings are like a sharp blade, cutting off those who are entangled. At this time, no one surrounded Yan Xinuo, and they all stepped back one after another.
"Good thing, Uncle Stuto."
These people just don't see that Yan Xinuo doesn't know business, and they are novices, so they are easier to bully, and they want to take advantage of the current situation to get some benefits from it. Now Situ Dao spoke, although he didn't say it to them, but he deliberately wanted to say it to them.
There is no one in the shopping mall who doesn't know Situ Dao, and he knows that Yan Xinuo has Situ Group to "support" him, which of them dares to make a mistake. One by one, when people were not paying attention, they slipped away.
"Uncle Situ, I really thanked you just now."
After these people who made him irritable left the sight one after another, Yan Xinuo thanked Situ gratefully. Of course, he knew that Situ Dao's sudden mention of cooperation was not really cooperation, and the reason why the other party said this was just to relieve himself. Yan Xinuo thought so, but Situ Dao had another thought.
"You're welcome, as it should be."
Originally, Situ Dao wanted to say that "the family is polite", but seeing that there were people around him, he temporarily changed his words.
"Go to Uncle Situ and Situ... Miss took a drink. ”
Holding Situ Dao to the side and sitting down, Yan Xinuo turned his head to Zi Ling, who was still in a daze, and said. It's just that when he called Situ Yunxi, he obviously paused and looked at the other party meaningfully.
The last time I still remember it vividly, Situ Yunxi was so angry by Yan Xinuo's actions that she choked enough, but because her father was here, she could only endure it and not have a seizure.
"I'll get busy first."
After finishing speaking, Yan Xinuo said that, and then deliberately glared at Situ Yunxi before walking away. Actually, Yan Xinuo didn't have the mood to mess with this eldest lady, but he couldn't swallow this breath when he thought of her bullying Zi Ling. Before he turned around and was about to walk in the direction of the exit, he saw a person he was no longer familiar with - Hu Yanxuan.
ALTHOUGH HU YANYU IS NOT THE BEST MEMBER OF THEIR LUZ-DE-BLOOM GROUP, HE IS OFTEN THE SPOKESPERSON FOR SEVERAL OF THEM BECAUSE HE IS VERY GOOD AT TALKING. No matter who he is with, he can get along with them, and he has a deep friendship with Yan Xinuo.
"Huh, you're here."
"Brother, mourning is good."
walked forward, gave Yan Xinuo a big hug, and said softly in his ear. After Yan Xinuo listened, he didn't speak, but just responded with a gesture.
Sometimes, good friends are like this, just a look and a gesture can understand what the other person is trying to express. With such a tacit understanding, everything is self-evident.
"Are you the only one?"
As Hu Yanyu walked outside, Yan Xinuo finally couldn't hold back his question. Originally, when he saw Hu Yanyu, he wanted to ask a question, but he couldn't help it. In fact, what he wanted to ask more was, "Didn't Ji Luo come with you?" ”
"Well, I'm the one myself."
After replying, he noticed that Yan Xinuo's expression was a little weird, and he continued as if he had guessed what he was thinking. It's just that it's okay if he doesn't say it, this time, Yan Xinuo's face is even more ugly.
"Jiluo seems to have been busy lately because of STARDOM's affairs."
"Huh!"
Yan Xinuo let out a cold snort, not hiding his ridicule of this statement at all. Busy, this is really a good excuse, Yan Xinuo really can't help but want to laugh.
Even if he didn't appear as Zi Ling's husband and the son-in-law of the Yan family, he could always appear as his member of Yan Xinuo's team, right? But he didn't, and even used the company's busyness as an excuse to keep himself out of the matter.
For this group member, friend and brother for many years, Yan Xinuo was completely disappointed. Thinking of his sister's matter, he was even more determined in his previous thoughts. He finally made up his mind and decided to do it after his father's funeral.
