When she arrived at the scene, the host was already reading the memorial speech.
The people who came to attend the memorial service were all dressed in black. The men were all in black suits and the women were in black dresses. Looking around, it was a dark place.
An atmosphere of mourning and sadness permeated the entire venue.
Ling Yaqiong saw Lin Yuxi, and her frowning eyes were filled with reproach and dissatisfaction.
People around her followed her gaze and looked over.
Lin Yuxi was embarrassed to make too much noise and ruin everyone's mourning for the deceased. She glanced at the tall man's back not far from Ling Yaqiong, walked over quickly with her waist bent, and quickly sat down.
But as soon as she sat down, she noticed the body of the man next to her paused slightly.
Ling Yaqiong's eyes not only did not retract, but almost popped out of her eyes.
There were even more glances coming from all around.
Lin Yuxi was looked at at a loss. She noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and subconsciously looked at the man beside her.
Then he froze.
The person beside him was not Zhou Yanjing at all.
But the eldest brother Zhou Sheng'an.
The two brothers are very similar in appearance and body shape, and it is indeed difficult to tell them apart from their backs at first glance.
It's just that Zhou Sheng'an is the eldest son, dignified and steady, while Zhou Yanjing is casual and more handsome.
Compared to his eldest brother who was raised as the heir of the Zhou family, Zhou Yanjing's aristocratic and noble temperament attracted people's attention since he was a child.
Lin Yuxi suddenly felt on pins and needles.
On such a serious occasion, in front of everyone's eyes, she went straight to her husband's brother. It was simply...
No wonder Ling Yaqiong glared at her like that.
Probably sensing her discomfort, Zhou Sheng'an said in a low voice: "We are all family members, so don't be nervous."
Lin Yuxi looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, brother, I thought it was Zhou Yanjing."
Both Zhou brothers have a watch given by their elders. It is a unique customized watch in the world. Only the abbreviations on the dial are different.
Zhou Yanjing’s is YJ, and Zhou Sheng’an’s is SA.
Zhou Shengan went on a business trip a while ago and never came back.
Lin Yuxi hurried over just now and was stared at by Ling Yaqiong's death gaze. When she saw the similar figure and watch, she subconsciously thought it was Zhou Yanjing.
This look would embarrass the ophthalmologist.
"Brother, when did you come back?"
"I didn't arrive until six this morning."
Lin Yuxi said "Oh".
He probably came back specially for the memorial service.
Zhou Yanjing said again: "Yan Jing is behind."
Lin Yuxi turned around and was caught off guard by the sight of Zhou Yanjing.
Zhou Yanjing was sitting in the row behind them, wearing a neat black suit and a meticulous tie.
He folded his legs, his handsome face was cold and expressionless.
His eyes were also cold.
Lin Yuxi was stunned for a moment when she saw the woman next to him.
Jiang Nan wore an elegant black dress, with a silk scarf around her neck embellished with a bit of color, looking decent and tasteful.
Jiang Nan smiled at her: "Long time no see, Yuxi."
"It's been a long time." Lin Yuxi returned a polite but forced smile and looked away.
I don’t know who wrote the memorial speech. The writing was touching, but Lin Yuxi didn’t listen to a word of it.
This was a person who had nothing to do with her. Lin Yuxi had only met him once or twice, both at family gatherings during the Zhou family's New Year's Eve. Except for her being a junior and saying a few honorifics, there was no other interaction.
It was said that this uncle had watched Zhou Yanjing grow up and had a very close relationship with him, but Lin Yuxi was not familiar with him at all and had never enjoyed any care from him.
At the end of the memorial service, when everyone was crying, Lin Yuxi could not squeeze out a single tear.
She wasn't good at acting to begin with.
As soon as it was over, Lin Yuxi was called over by Ling Yaqiong. She was late and embarrassed in public, so she was scolded as expected.
Lin Yuxi, as she had done for the past ten years or so, did not defend or talk back, and took the scolding honestly. Ling Yaqiong was feeling sad, and she waved her hand to go away without scolding her for long.
When Lin Yuxi came out, Zhou Yanjing was gone.
He probably left with Jiang Nan first and didn't wait for her.
Lin Yuxi didn't feel disappointed or lost, and even felt an unexpected sense of clarity.
Unfortunately, this place was too remote. Later, the uncle became ill and had been recuperating in a house halfway up the mountain.
It's easy to take a taxi, but it's a problem to take a taxi on the mountain.
Lin Yuxi walked along the winding mountain road for a while, but no one took the order with added money on the taxi app.
If she added any more, she would be in pain. Just as she was gritting her teeth and preparing to bleed back, Zhou Sheng'an's car stopped beside her.
"Xiao Xi, let me see you off."
"No need." Lin Yuxi said quickly, "I'm waiting for Zhou Yanjing."
Zhou Sheng'an looked at her calmly for a few seconds, and Lin Yuxi felt her face burning.
She just wanted to find a good excuse to decline, but it was too easy to expose. Zhou Yanjing had left long ago, how could his eldest brother not know.
"Get in the car." Zhou Sheng'an didn't say much else.
Lin Yuxi finally got in the car.
After hesitating for a moment, she sat in the back.
He had just made a joke in public, and now Lin Yuxi was really embarrassed to sit in his passenger seat again.
Although there is a suspicion of treating Zhou Sheng'an as a driver, compared to that bastard Zhou Yanjing, Zhou Sheng'an is a gentleman and gentle man, so he should not blame her.
Lin Yuxi opened her circle of friends, scrolled down for a while, and saw Jiang Nan's post in the morning: [Landing]
The accompanying picture is a photo taken on the airport tarmac. Her long hair and windbreaker were blown up by the wind, and she looked sideways into the distance. The photo was very artistic.
Lin Yuxi's eyes fell on the plane with only a corner of it visible behind her.
Gulfstream G650 business jet.
That was Zhou Yanjing's private plane, and he used it every time he traveled between New York and China.
He brought Jiang Nan back with him.
When she was approaching the city, Lin Yuxi received another call from the hospital. There was a patient with a complicated condition, and Director Yuan asked her to go back and study the treatment plan together.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuxi said: "Brother, just put me at the subway entrance."
"Back to the hospital?" Zhou Sheng'an guessed from the few words she said on the phone, "It's not far, I'll take you there."
When she arrived at the hospital, Lin Yuxi got out of the car, bent down and held the car door to thank her.
Zhou Sheng'an said: "Why are you so polite as a family?"
Lin Yuxi said to her heart, it won't be the case soon.
Even on weekends, hospitals do not close their doors to thank customers. For doctors in public hospitals, overload work is the norm, and overtime is even more common.
It was already very late when Lin Yuxi got off work. She dragged her tired body home and found a light on in the living room when she entered the door.
Someone at home.
She put down her bag and looked over. Zhou Yanjing was sitting in the living room, his left arm resting on the back of the sofa. Half of the cigarette between his fingers had been smoked, and the smell of cigarette smoke filled the air.
He had taken off his suit jacket, and the fine black shirt made his face look noble and cold.
After seeing Lin Yuxi, he raised his wrist and glanced at the time, his face gloomy.
Lin Yuxi was very tired, not just physically.
She changed her shoes and walked inside. As soon as she stepped on the stairs, she heard Zhou Yanjing talking.
"It's quite natural to sit next to my eldest brother." His careless voice came over, and it was hard to distinguish between emotion and anger. "Why, do you often sit here when I'm not at home?"
Lin Yuxi didn't bother to pay attention: "I admitted my mistake."
Zhou Yanjing laughed sarcastically, with a hint of sarcasm and meanness: "My husband can admit his mistake, but did he realize it wasn't me until he followed him to his bed?"
