Chapter 172: Suspicion
Three days later.
Cheng Xiao, accompanied by Ye Tingyun, attended Lin Xingyan's funeral.
For the first time on such an occasion, I met her grandparents by blood.
Dressed in black, they stood on the family seats with sad expressions and thanked the guests who came to attend the funeral.
"One bow, two bows, three bows......"
"Family Gifts!" The emcee's voice sounded slowly.
"Mourning!" Cheng Xiao bowed slightly.
The afterglow fell on the huge portrait in front of her, and Lin Xingyan in the photo was beautiful and moving, like a lyric poem, and her whole body was filled with a gentle atmosphere and elegant temperament.
The most touching thing is the eyes as deep as the lake, mysterious and charming.
"Xiaoxiao, thank you for coming."
Mother Lin's words brought back Cheng Xiao's thoughts, and she stretched out her hand to hold Cheng Xiao's hand.
"I apologize to you on behalf of Xingyan, the biggest regret in her life is that she couldn't grow up with you."
Mother Lin regretted it very much, she was angry that Lin Xingyan and Cheng Xiao's father made a private agreement for life and gave birth to a child, and she never cared about their mother and daughter.
If she could have been more tolerant at that time, she took the initiative to support Cheng Xiao, or occasionally went to see Cheng Xiao.
Then between Lin Xingyan and Cheng Xiao, it will not be today's situation.
"Xiaoxiao, Xingyan is no longer here, I hope you can forgive her!"
Mother Lin burst into tears, and her hands increased the strength.
"The past is gone."
Cheng Xiao was a little uncomfortable, and did not forcibly pull out his hand considering the old man's mood.
It is said that people die like lights go out, and the grievances and grievances of the past have also disappeared.
"Thank you!"
Mother Lin thanked her again, took the initiative to let go of her hand, and replied to the next wave of guests.
While they were talking, Cheng Xiao walked up to Shen Jianing, raised her hand and stroked her head to comfort her silently.
Today's Shen Jianing is very strong.
didn't cry, didn't make trouble, didn't collapse, took out the etiquette and upbringing under the influence of a wealthy family for many years, held back tears, and bowed to the people who came to mourn over and over again.
"Sister!" Shen Jianing looked up and stared.
"Hmm!" Cheng Xiao nodded, and recognized her title.
After saying a few words, Cheng Xiao and Ye Tingyun retreated.
happened to meet the two brothers Shen Jiaxing and Shen Jiahang who sent people back.
Although they are not twins, they are seven or eight points similar in appearance, and they all belong to the handsome type.
"Miss Cheng!"
"Mr. Ye!"
The four shook hands with each other, retreated to the corner, and chatted.
"How's my aunt's case going?" Ye Tingyun asked.
"It's basically been figured out."
Shen Jiahang sighed, his eyes full of sadness.
He was originally in charge of the affairs of the Shen Group in country M, and after hearing that Lin Xingyan had an accident, he returned with Shen Jianing overnight.
Although Lin Xingyan is not their biological mother, the two brothers like Shen Jianing very much.
and Lin Xingyan, the stepmother, also get along very well.
For Lin Xingyan's death, the two brothers were very sad.
Shen Jiahang took a deep breath, calmed down and continued: "The suspects have been arrested, and they are two college students. ”
Next, in Shen Jiahang's statement, Cheng Xiao and Ye Tingyun understood the whole story.
It turned out that Lin Xingyan had many properties under her name, one of which was a construction company.
During a construction trip, a worker unfortunately fell to his death.
The family claims compensation as a worker's compensation.
The company refused to compensate for the death and injury caused by the employee's failure to follow the construction manual and his improper operation.
This incident made a lot of noise at the time and became social news.
Lin Xingyan came forward to be interviewed by reporters and media, with a tough attitude and expressed her willingness to go through legal procedures.
In the end, with the help of various evidences and the strong team of lawyers behind Lin Xingyan, the company won, and the family of the deceased lost the lawsuit without receiving any compensation.
The deceased's two sons, both students at Kyoto University, held a grudge when they learned of the result.
It took a year to follow up and collect Lin Xingyan's information and make a plan.
They successfully kidnapped Xiao Zhang's daughter and coerced Xiao Zhang.
and planted a homemade bomb on the luxury car that Lin Xingyan was sitting in, which caused Lin Xingyan's death.
"The incident back then was really the worker's own problem, and it had nothing to do with his mother."
Shen Jiahang's gaze was on Cheng Xiao and explained in a low voice.
Lin Xingyan has passed away, and the deceased is the greatest, and he doesn't want to leave Cheng Xiao with the impression of bullying the poor.
"No one expected that his family would act so radically and cause tragedy." Shen Jiahang shook his head lightly.
The Shen family is not short of this money, and the Lin family is not short of this money, if it wasn't so serious at that time, things would not have come to this point.
"We will receive legal sanctions, please mourn." Cheng Xiaodao.
At this moment, there seems to be nothing to say except the word dry mourning.
But the person who said this was her, but it was embarrassing.
One is a biological daughter and the other is a stepson.
Because of the death of her mother, her biological daughter asked her stepson to mourn, and the position was reversed, this scene is strange and ironic.
"Ahem, ahem!"
The two brothers, Shen Jiaxing and Shen Jiahang, lowered their heads and coughed lightly twice to hide their embarrassment.
Ye Tingyun saw that everyone had said about the same, and he had asked everything that should be asked.
So he said: "There are many people here today, you are busy first, and we will not bother." ”
After speaking, Ye Tingyun pulled Cheng Xiao aside and found a place to sit down.
It wasn't until Lin Xingyan came out of the funeral and the funeral was over that the two left in Ye Tingyun's luxury car.
In the car.
Ye Tingyun reached out to hold Cheng Xiao, leaned her head on his shoulder, looked down and said softly, "Are you tired?" ”
"Not tired!" Cheng Xiao shook her head.
That being said, she didn't straighten up, still leaning there, holding out her hand and interlocking her fingers, lost in thought.
Ye Tingyun saw Cheng Xiao's eyes staring intently at the position where his hands were clasped, and he didn't move away for a long time, as if he had something on his mind.
Ask, "What do you want?" ”
When Cheng Xiao heard this, her body moved, changed to a more comfortable position, and her other hand depicted Ye Tingyun's hand.
His hands are slender and jointed, and they are truly artistic!
If the company goes bankrupt one day, it is definitely qualified to be a hand model.
"I always feel that Lin Xingyan's death is not so simple!"
Cheng Xiao's voice was fluttering, her eyes drooped, and the fine hair scattered on her forehead, covering the look at the bottom of her eyes.
"Why do you say that?"
Ye Tingyun stroked Cheng Xiao's hair for a moment, and looked at it intently.
He knew that Cheng Xiao was not a person without a purpose, and there must be a reason why he would think so.
However, Cheng Xiao said: "An intuition! ”
"Intuition?"
Ye Tingyun raised her eyebrows, noncommittal to her statement.
"Lin Xingyan has had two accidents in a row, isn't it too coincidental that the time interval is so close?" Cheng Xiao suddenly straightened up.
She turned her head and looked at Ye Tingyun with a serious gaze.
With an inquisitive look in his eyes, it seems to be questioning.
