Chapter 230: Death
He looked only high school, his face was childish, and he helped hold the jade box and said, "Miss Fei is in the living room." ”
Jiang Nuannuan looked at him a few more times, and the first thing she said when she saw Fei Xin was, "You hire child labor?" ”
Fei Xin looked at the young man who bent down to put the jade box and waved his hand, "He's just the son of my live-in nanny, and he usually works part-time to help me do some work." ”
After that, she turned her head and shouted, "Mother Wu, make a pot of tea." ”
"Here we are."
Jiang Nuannuan sat down on the edge of the sofa and opened the box, "I don't know if you like it or not, anyway, I spent Gu Tingyan 100 million yuan on this piece of Hetian jade to get it for you." ”
"It's quite generous, and it's worthy that he has a request for others." Fei Xin only glanced at the jade a few times, and opened the cigarette case with a lack of interest and handed it to her, "Do you smoke or not?" ”
"No." She pushed back.
The young man who brought the teacup next to him saw Fei Xin holding a cigarette between his fingers and frowned slightly, "Can't you smoke less?" ”
Fei Xin glanced at him, clicked on the lighter and lit a cigarette, "You have too much to do." ”
The young man lowered his eyes, his expression was slightly cold, and he turned around and left.
Jiang Nuannuan blinked, "That thing has been delivered, I'll leave first." ”
"Wait." Fei Xin flicked the ashes of her cigarette, "Let's talk about my marriage to Gu Tingyan." ”
Jiang Nuannuan: "..."
"Do you want me to be a bridesmaid or a wedding celebrant? I don't have experience and I can't do it well. ”
Fei Xin: "..."
She stared at her for a few seconds, her shoulders shaking, and she laughed, "It turns out that all I care about is Gu Tingyan, an unlucky guy, hahaha." ”
Jiang Nuannuan took a sip of the brewed black tea and sighed, "Since it's not, what do you want to tell me?" ”
Fei Xin: "That's the case, I have no feelings for Gu Tingyan, and he is the same, in the future, this marriage will only be used by each other, driven by interests, I only occupy the name of a marriage certificate, we still have our own lives, you don't need to take it to heart." ”
Jiang Nuannuan doesn't mind, it's just that in front of Gu Tingyan, she always does a very good job on the surface.
She turned the teacup, "Just talking to me about this?" ”
Fei Xin nodded, "Except for necessary occasions, we will not be under the same roof, don't worry, don't disturb your relationship." ”
Jiang Nuannuan: "He's in a difficult situation now? ”
Fei Xin: "No, the Gu family came back from the brink of bankruptcy, there are many shareholders and they are all distributed, your man guards against his father and these people, and choosing to marry me is just a precaution, he will swallow the entire group sooner or later." ”
After smoking a cigarette, the boy went back and forth, took her cigarette case, and said, "All right, let's go eat." ”
Fei Xin was afraid of him, so she got up, "Stay and have lunch together?" ”
Jiang Nuannuan shook her head: "I still have something to do in the afternoon, so let's go first." ”
...
The day before Fei Jinzhao's birthday, Jiang Nuannuan made a cake in the private bakery where she had made an appointment.
From the cake crust to the whipped cream and chocolate on the outside, she made it all by herself, but it was still very different from the usual cooking.
It took her a day, from morning to night, to bake the cake base several times, squeeze the cream shape several times, to make an 8-inch cake, and write Happy Birthday Fei Jin on the white chocolate card with strawberry jam.
After his birthday, he was 22 years old like her.
Jiang Nuannuan finally packed the box and kept it in the store, and sent it to Fei Jin to WeChat: The cake is ready.
It's now 8 p.m., it's late, and the message sent has not been replied to.
Jiang Nuannuan stared at the phone for a while, exhaled cold air in the cold wind when she went out of the store, and a little coolness fell on her forehead.
She looked up to see the snow flying under the streetlights on both sides of the street.
It's snowing.
Ambulances flashed their lights and whistles whistled past them.
Jiang Nuannuan glanced in the direction of the car, sighed in his mouth, and opened the door to get into the car.
Early the next morning, she specially wore a red cotton jacket to celebrate Fei Jinzhao's birthday, tied a ball on her head and made light makeup, and rushed to the old town of Jiangbei with a cake.
On the way, she also sent him a WeChat message and told him that she had passed.
But he didn't reply until the car crossed the Linggang River, and there was an interval of several hours along with last night's WeChat message.
When Jiang Nuannuan was waiting for the last red light, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Although Fei Jin Zhao didn't talk much, she wouldn't not reply to her messages when her favorability was high.
After the green light, she sped up uneasily to the entrance of Shili Lane, but unexpectedly, the usually empty intersection was blocked by several cars today.
Jiang Nuannuan's heartbeat accelerated inexplicably, she stopped far away and opened the door to get out of the car, walked forward quickly with the cake, and walked past a few cars blocking her vision along the way, her feet stopped suddenly, her pupils shrank, and she was stunned.
Blocked at the mouth of the alley of Fei Jin's house, there is a conspicuous large funeral car.
The front of the car was facing her, and it was decorated with white chrysanthemums.
Jiang Nuannuan's heart pounded violently, she grabbed the rope of the cake box, and ran in.
Crossing Grandma Yang's house, when she was about to reach the door, she stopped suddenly, heard the movement through the window, and turned her head to look at the scene in the living room on the first floor.
A crushing cry came from the window, accompanied by the smell of incense.
Among the familiar faces, there are Uncle Chen Zhi who came to help from the funeral shop in the countryside, his son Chen Mingyuan, and Rong Zhao's parents, and... Rong Zhao who returned to China.
Fei Jin Zhao knelt on the edge of the bed on both knees, lowered his head, and held the old palm hanging from the side of the bed without saying a word.
Rong Zhao, who was called a fat doll by Fei's grandmother, also knelt beside him, patted him on the back and whispered to reassure.
Jiang Nuannuan's eyes rolled slightly, and fell on Grandma Fei, who was already lying there in a shroud, her face was pale, her eyes were closed, and she was silent.
Chen Zhi bent down and said sadly: "Okay, Sumire, go and sort out grandma's things, let's pack them up and take them back to burn." ”
Fei Jin Zhao said in a hoarse voice, "Let me take another look." ”
"Ugh." Chen Zhi sighed and wiped a handful of tears with the back of his hand, "She has also suffered all her life, and she still has such a disease, it's really unfair to God." ”
System 66: "Host, are you crying?" ”
Jiang Nuannuan took a step back and touched her face, her fingertips were wet.
She lowered her head and turned to leave, when she met Grandma Yang who came out of the house next door.
"Nuan Nuan." She went down the steps to say hello, came over to wipe her tears, and sighed, "Have you seen it in there?" ”
Jiang Nuannuan shook her head with red eyes, hid the cake behind her, and choked her voice, "When did grandma leave?" ”
Grandma Yang sighed and said: "Last night she was angry, Sumire called an ambulance, the doctor in the hospital had to send some anesthetic tablets, he himself served her and worked alone all night, this morning everyone thought she could be stable again, and the person was suddenly gone." ”
Grandma Yang cried as she spoke, raised her hand and wiped her tears, "This disease is really tormenting, there is only a skeleton left in the body, and I can't look at it, alas." ”
Jiang Nuannuan was stunned, and her mind inexplicably remembered the ambulance that passed by her last night.
That direction is the direction of Jiangbei.
No wonder, he didn't reply to her messages.
She licked her dry lips, "When did Rong Zhao's family come?" ”
Grandma Yang: "I just arrived in the morning, probably by coincidence, this girl just landed on the plane and came back to visit Sumire to call this child, and she ran into this incident." ”
Jiang Nuannuan nodded, "Got it." ”
Seeing that she turned around to leave, Grandma Yang hurriedly asked, "You don't go in?" I see you're still carrying a cake. ”
Jiang Nuannuan smiled bitterly, "What are you doing in there?" Today is Fei Jinzhao's birthday and Fei's grandmother's death day. ”
She wore a red jacket and carried a celebratory cake, what she looked like.
There was a garbage bin at the entrance of the alley that was almost full, Jiang Nuannuan raised his hand and threw the cake into it, and the villain cream in the shape of the squeezed out hit the transparent packaging box, and it became a mess.
She stood alone at the entrance of the alley for a long time.
Compared to last night, Jiang Nuannuan felt that the snow was going to fall more today.
It's so cold that it makes people shiver.
