The master of ceremonies who treated the guests looked in Ye Mingqian's direction with embarrassment and had to let the three members of the Ye family in.
Ye Shirong was the first to show off his anger. Fortunately, although he was vain, he knew what the occasion was and didn't do anything extraordinary. When he passed by Ye Mingqian, he just said lightly: "Behave well, don't do anything." Disgrace the Ye family."
Who is being embarrassed?
Ye Mingqian couldn't help but twitching on her face as she watched the three members of the Ye family go to the mourning hall.
"Miss Ye."
Gu Yan was wearing a long black dress and walked towards her. She had lost weight and the roundness on her face was reduced, like a water hibiscus.
"My mother invites you to come over and get together."
Ye Mingqian looked in the direction she came from. Mrs. Gu was talking in a low voice to a woman. Next to her hand was Gu Erya, who was standing with her hands down.
It's strange to say that she has met Mrs. Gu several times for big events, but only Gu Erya and Gu Yan accompanied her. She has almost never met Gu Qiwu, the head of the Gu family.
"My father is dealing with things abroad and won't be able to come back for a while."
Gu Yan led the way, her face full of melancholy: "It is my father's biggest regret not being able to come and see Mr. Shu off for his last journey."
"Are they on good terms?"
Ye Mingqian asked calmly.
"Before the Shu family cooperated with the Huo family, our Gu family and the Shu family were closer in business. My dad has always said that Mr. Shu is a very powerful senior. He has learned a lot from this old man. If it weren't for overseas business If I really can’t leave, I will come no matter what.”
Ever since Chi Yanchen got engaged to Shu Qiaoqiao, Gu Yan's face has always been covered with a hint of sadness.
"well."
After Mrs. Gu finished chatting with her friend, she couldn't help but sigh when she saw her daughter's increasingly thin chin.
"Ms. Ye, you and Yan'er are similar in age and we can talk well. Please help me persuade her. How can a young girl not have some flesh on her body? Look at her, she is so skinny. She doesn't think about food or tea every day. .”
Mrs. Gu didn't say the reason clearly, but Ye Mingqian understood.
She reached out helplessly and pushed up her sleeves, revealing her thin forearms, which were thinner than Gu Yan next to her. "Mrs. Gu, this is really embarrassing for me. I'm not much better myself."
Mrs. Gu opened her mouth, put her and Gu Yan's hands together and held them, her eyes full of distress: "Look at your generation, they are so thin that it makes people feel distressed."
She herself is plump and rich, but when she looks at her daughter, she feels like she is just a piece of paper and can run away when the wind blows.
After all, Ye Mingqian was as tall as she was, and she was very skinny, with a lot of places where she should have some flesh.
She glanced at Gu Yan's sickly face and understood Mrs. Gu's worry. She held Gu Yan's hand with her backhand and said with concern: "Sister Yan, you should be more careful about your health. You will never leave someone without saying anything in your life." Life, if you miss it, you have passed it. We have to look forward to have hope. You, if you find something you love to do, you will find that the beautiful things in this world are not just love."
Gu Yan lowered her eyes and did not respond.
Ye Mingqian didn't try to persuade her anymore. She had to figure it out on her own. She, an outsider, said that Potian was just a suggestion person.
Mrs. Gu, on the other hand, patted her hand gratefully, "They say you should move around frequently, why don't you come to Gu's house to chat and play cards with me?"
"Mom, I'm busy. I think everyone is as free as you, playing cards, chatting and shopping."
Gu Erya's soul flew to Chi Yanchen. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, she would have stopped staying with Mrs. Gu and listened to her nagging.
"Normally I can indulge you, but today you should be careful. If your father knows that something went wrong with you in the Shu family, I will no longer protect you when you ask for help."
Mrs. Gu warned her son who was about to make a move.
"I've been busy with company matters recently. I'll do it next time, Mrs. Gu."
Ye Ming explained with a slight smile.
While several people were chatting, there was a sudden commotion in the direction of the mourning hall.
Everyone gathered around curiously.
Ye Mingqian fell behind the Gu family and looked in slowly, only to see several Shu family members fighting together. The sky was filled with incense and ashes, and he couldn't tell who was fighting with whom for a moment.
"The Shu family can't last long."
"Mr. Shu's body is still cold, but these unfilial descendants actually fought in the mourning hall, leaving his old man uneasy. I think the Shu family will be defeated sooner or later."
She heard someone whispering next to her.
"Stop, stop it all."
Shu Qiaoqiao's hysterical screams came through the ash in the air, mixed with her brother's cries.
But the Shu family's descendants who were fighting with each other were all red-eyed, and no one paid attention to her.
Surrounded by a pack of wolves and with an ignorant young brother, Shu Qiaoqiao's future life will be difficult. No wonder Mr. Shu, after learning that he was in poor health, wanted to tie the Shu family and the Huo family tightly through marriage. Together.
Unfortunately, after all calculations, the only thing Mr. Shu failed to calculate was that the Huo family was not as united as he imagined. His favorite granddaughter Shu Qiaoqiao was just a useful tool in Chi Yanchen's eyes.
In the past, the Shu family was fighting for the family property, and in the later, Huo Jili was eyeing her, but Chi Yanchen didn't take her seriously.
For a moment, Ye Mingqian actually sympathized with Shu Qiaoqiao.
"Stop it, do you still have grandpa in your eyes?"
Shu Qiaoqiao was holding her younger brother and crying feebly outside. The elders of the Shu family were all invisible at this time, and no one stood up to stop this farce.
Everyone dared to step forward to help.
Even though I knew the occasion was wrong, this was still a family matter of the Shu family!
Shu Qiaoqiao was also anxious, let go of his brother's hand and went to start a fight, but was pushed away by someone.
The onlookers all exclaimed. Seeing that Shu Qiaoqiao was about to fall to the ground, Chi Yanchen stepped out of the crowd and reached out to support her.
"stop."
His voice was not high, but it was full of majesty. It immediately calmed down the Shu family who were fighting fiercely. They stopped and looked over. When they found out it was Chi Yanchen, one of them wiped away the nosebleed and said disdainfully: "Shu Qiao Qiao hasn't entered your Huo family yet, so it's not your turn as an outsider to interfere in the affairs of our Shu family."
"He is Shu Yousi, Shu Qiaoqiao's third cousin." Gu Yan stood beside Ye Mingqian at some point and introduced her to her in a low voice. After thinking for a while, she added: "He is also one of the descendants of the outside family. "
The word "ye" indicates the chaos in the Shu family.
Ye Mingqian watched quietly as Chi Yanchen protected Shu Qiaoqiao behind him. Juntou's face was unfazed and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with them. "Since there is no one in the Shu family, I will take charge of this."
After saying that, he gave a signal, and before anyone could react, several bodyguards following him quickly tied up the person and sent him outside the door of Shu's house.
Ye Mingqian stood on the outside and watched Chi Yanchen hugging Shu Qiaoqiao, feeling inexplicably blocked.
"Sorry for making you laugh."
Chi Yanchen handed the frightened Shu Qiaoqiao into the hands of the female members of the Shu family and looked at her as if she had a tacit understanding.
Ye Mingqian hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at him.
