Chapter three hundred and eighty first funeral scene
When Chen Yan came out, Chen Mo had not left yet, and he was standing in the yard with a cigarette in his mouth. Light snow fell from the sky, and this year's snow fell earlier than in previous years.
"Brother!" Chen Yan walked towards Chen Mo.
"What do you think?" Chen Mo asked.
"Looking at how he is, he will probably leave before the New Year." Chen Yan breathed. Things are unpredictable. Who would have thought that he would suddenly get sick?
Aunt Ma booked a piece of tofu and asked Xia Yu to get it off work. The stall owner was very enthusiastic and gave her two pieces of loaves. Xia Yu bought some duck blood and minced meat when she went back and planned to make a tofu brain.
Making tofu brain is very simple and it will be done soon. She put a bowl of pot and it was hot. She cut some chopped green onion and sprinkled with peanuts on it. She brought it to the living room and was about to start, and the news happened to be played on the TV.
"Mr. Zeng Ziqiang, a famous entrepreneur, philanthropist and chairman of Zeng Group, was hospitalized due to a heart attack. He unfortunately passed away in the ward this afternoon. He was 59 years old and had only one daughter. He had transferred most of his inheritance to his daughter's name..."
The spoon in Xia Yu's hand sank and fell into the bowl.
The picture on the screen flashed. She saw Zeng Mina appearing in the camera. She lay in front of Zeng Ziqiang's bed and cried so hard that she was breathless. Finally, she fainted and was helped out of the ward.
Soon, some viewers' messages began to be played in the bottom of the screen.
"It should be her daughter who fainted from crying. The one he dearest has left. What's the use of leaving her with more inheritance?"
"The most painful thing in life should be to say goodbye to your loved ones, and to separate yin and yang."
"I hope the deceased will rest in peace, the living will live strongly, and I hope that all parents and children in the world can cherish the time they have been together, because life is only a few decades, and it is not easy to be reincarnated as a family!"
Now the audience's messages are more emotional than each other. Xia Yu couldn't stand it and planned to change the channel, but as soon as he picked up the remote control, the phone rang. He glanced at it and saw Zhou Yan displayed on the screen.
"Hey!" She picked it up and changed the channel again.
A hurried voice came from there, "Hey, Xia Yu, do you have time to talk?"
Zhou Yan had told her that she wanted to talk before, and Xia Yu looked at the bowl of tofu on the coffee table and was almost shedding her brain.
"Now?" Xia Yu asked.
"Are you free?" Zhou Yan's tone seemed to be very anxious.
"Okay." Xia Yu stood up and told Aunt Ma that she had something to do and went out, so she went to the place she agreed with Zhou Yan.
"Xia Yu, it's Chen Mo, it must be him." Zhou Yan couldn't wait to say as soon as Xia Yu sat down.
"What?" Xia Yu was stunned for a while and realized that he was saying that Zeng Ziqiang's death was related to Chen Mo, "Why did you say that?"
"I had contact with Zhou Jiamin before, and she accidentally talked about Zeng Mina and Chen Mo. I think Zeng Mina is not the type that Chen Mo likes, how could she get engaged to Zeng Mina? Zhou Jiamin lets go and says, Chen Mo dare not refuse to agree." Zhou Yan looked at Xia Yu's eyes as he spoke, wanting to see what she reacted.
Xia Yuguo was indeed surprised, "Zhou Jiamin means, what is Chen Mo's handle in Zeng Ziqiang's hands? Chen Mo dare not refuse to agree?"
Speaking to smart people is indeed labor-saving. Zhou Yan praised Xia Yu in his heart and continued, "I think Zeng Ziqiang's death is strange, and it has nothing to do with Chen Mo."
"Why do you say that?" Xia Yu asked.
Zhou Yan said, "Who is Chen Mo? How could he be threatened by Zeng Ziqiang all the time? I am a medical student. From my professional perspective, Zeng Ziqiang had heart problems before, but they were not very serious. Why did he suddenly say that it was not possible if he could not do it?"
Xia Yu frowned. Although he felt that what Zhou Yan said was somewhat targeted by Chen Mo, Zeng Ziqiang had been in good health before, and suddenly became ill after saying that he was sick. It was indeed doubtful. "If Zeng Ziqiang really kept threatening Chen Mo, he could not bear the trouble and got rid of Zeng Ziqiang, which is reasonable, but there is no evidence."
It was another damn evidence. Zhou Yan's fist hit the table very well. But he also knew that what Xia Yu said made sense. If there was no evidence, even if he knew that it was done by Chen Mo, he would still be at ease.
"I will find evidence!"
Xia Yu came out of the cafe and the ground was covered with snow. She wrapped her clothes on her body and drove back.
In the following days, everyone was talking about Zeng Ziqiang's death, moved by his love with Zhou Jiamin, and regretted him, who died shortly after getting married.
Those who had objections to Zeng Mina before also let go of their prejudices and sympathized with her.
Zeng's losses were also very heavy. On the day Zeng Ziqiang's death, Zeng's stock price fell to the bottom again. There were reports that the shares in Zeng Mina's hands had already been stolen by hundreds of millions in just a few days.
For her, it was the death of a close relative, but for those spectators and reporters, it was just a fresh news. Most of the reports on this were listed cold data around Zeng's recent losses. Many investors had sold Zeng's stocks because they knew that Zeng Ziqiang was admitted to the hospital.
Xia Yu couldn't help feeling regretful when he looked at the remarks. People's hearts were already numb, and the perspective of looking at problems was always controlled by the crowd.
It was almost the end of the New Year, and Zeng Ziqiang's funeral was held in a hurry. Because Zeng Ziqiang left very suddenly, there was not much preparation, and there was no one in the family. Zeng Mina fainted that day due to hypoglycemia. She woke up on the funeral, but her whole condition was extremely poor. This is completely understandable. Her mother separated from her very early, and it was almost Zeng Ziqiang who raised her. Now that her only relative has passed away, she can't stand such a blow.
Fortunately, Zhou Jiamin was helping around, preparing for the funeral as the hostess of the Zeng family from beginning to end. After all, she is now famous. At the funeral, she needs to support Zeng Mina standing in front of the spiritual throne, be bowing and comforting by everyone, and also need to kneel in mourning clothes in front of the coffin to guard the spirit, because Zhou Jiamin is now the legitimate Mrs. Zeng.
According to the funeral process, the morning commemoration was held and the burial was carried out. I don’t know who leaked the address of the cemetery, so many reporters went to the site early in the morning.
Xia Yu also attended the funeral, and it was very appropriate that day. It suddenly started to snow at noon. The weather was gloomy and the reporters who could not pass by were stopped outside, but many were still rushing to squeeze in front. The managers of the cemetery could only use many security guards to stand in a circle and try to separate the reporters out as much as possible.
Xia Yu was also separated from her, but she didn't want to squeeze in. After all, this was a funeral by the Zeng family. No one wanted to hold the funeral in front of everyone, and the deceased made the dead uneasy, so she stood quietly among the crowd and watched. She only went there after some reporters were persuaded to leave.
First, the ashes entered the pit and the monument was erected, and then the Zeng family kowtowed. Zeng Mina was stiff from beginning to end, her face was sallow and her expression was dull. She knelt on the ground for a long time when she kowtowed, but was dragged up by the people next to her. Zhou Jiamin kept crying from beginning to end, and the crying echoed in the rain, which made the listeners sigh. The scene was very sad at the time, and the flash of the camera around her was still flashing in the rain.
Then, relatives and friends presented the gift. Zeng Ziqiang had been struggling in the mall for most of his life, so he had many friends, but this time he only invited close relatives and friends who had more common contact. It is said that this was Zhou Jiamin's meaning. She advocated that the funeral was simple and she did not want too noisy to disturb Zeng Ziqiang's undead. The Shen family was the closest to the Zeng family, so the Shen family first came forward, led by Shen Mo, followed by Chen Yan, the eldest wife and the second wife, and finally Xia Yu. The group lined up to offer flowers and knock, and then walked around to Zeng Mina and Zhou Jiamin to express their condolences.
Originally, Chen Mo was Zeng Mina's fiancée. He was supposed to be with Zeng Mina as his fiancé, but they had a very unpleasant fight before, and Zeng Mina did not let him accompany him.
But the eldest wife felt sorry for Zeng Mina and even hugged her, "Since the truth, let Xiao Mo take you out for a walk when the matter is done." When she said this, she didn't even glance at Zhou Jiamin next to her. Even if Zhou Jiamin is now a veritable Mrs. Zeng, in the eyes of the eldest wife, she will never be the third-tier star who can't get on the table.
Zeng Mina didn't say anything, but nodded her head in a hushed way as a gift. Chen Mo nodded slightly and said to Zeng Mina, "If you have anything I can help, just speak." After all, the two families have been very close, and he and Zeng Mina have grown up together. Now, looking at her situation, they should also help out of the position of a friend.
After hearing Chen Mo say this, the eldest lady immediately spoke next to her and held Zeng Mina's hand, "Yes, yes, if you have something to do, look for Xiao Mo."
Seeing that the more you talked, the second wife frowned quietly and gently pulled the eldest wife, "This is not suitable for this occasion. Okay, let's go through, there are many people waiting behind you."
The eldest lady let go and walked forward. Chen Yan deliberately stopped when he passed by Zhou Jiamin, his eyes tilted towards her face, but in just a few short seconds, he nodded slightly when he saw her crying violently.
At this time, Li Tianci came over to help Zhou Jiamin and glanced at her quickly. Although it was a shocking glance, Xia Yu felt that there was definitely something wrong with them.
Then the other relatives and friends presented flowers, lined up one by one, knocked around, and made a final farewell with their old friends. Few people spoke.
He looked up at Chen Mo and saw that his expression was as cold as ever. When he remembered Zhou Yan's words, she suddenly felt a little suffocated in her chest. She tightened her fingers, closed her eyes, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a familiar figure in the crowd.
Zhou Yan slowly walked to the tombstone with an umbrella, bent down and bowed, and then put a white chrysanthemum in his hand on the ground.
Xia Yu didn't expect that he would come too, but then he thought that it was normal for him to come. S City said it was not big, and there were only a few famous families that could be counted as famous. The Zhou family was one of them. It was also appropriate for Zhou Yan to come to pay homage to Zeng Ziqiang.
After the last process, relatives and friends quickly left, only the Zeng family's own family was left in front of the monument. Zhou Jiamin had already fainted from crying several times, and was supported by the servants at home and sobbed. Zeng Mina, who had not reacted in front of the man just now, suddenly knelt in front of the tombstone with a "thump".
"Dad" cried with grief. Xia Yu felt that the birds on the mountain were shocked. Zhou Jiamin next to him started crying again when he saw this situation.
The shouts mixed with crying, and in the wet weather, Xia Yu turned around and said to Chen Yan, "I'll go back first."
"I'll go with you too!" Chen Yan had already sent Zeng Ziqiang, and the host An left. The Zeng family had been busy for several days, so they also asked them to rest.
So the two went down the mountain, the parking lot was halfway up the mountain, and the car was driven by Xia Yu. There were not many cars when we arrived in the morning, but the field was filled with all the way, and even the exit was blocked. They were all here to worship Zeng Ziqiang.
