At 4:30 in the morning, Xiao Wu drove over to take Xiang Huan to the funeral home.
When he saw two people coming out of the door, he was a little confused. He thought he was suffering from lack of sleep these days, so he rubbed his eyes hard and looked again.
There were still two people, Xiang Huan and Xu Jiandong, who came out together.
What's going on... Xiao Wu was confused and called Xiang Huan, but his eyes were fixed on Xu Jiandong's face.
"My car will be here soon, please go." Xu Jiandong ignored Xiao Wu, finished speaking to Xiang Huan, and walked towards the intersection.
Xiang Huan also walked up to Xiao Wu and said, "Stop looking and let's go." After saying that, he got into the car.
On the way, Xiao Wu rarely said anything. Xiang Huan took the initiative to mention Xu Jiandong, so he cautiously asked what happened just now.
"What could be going on?" Xiang Huan glanced at the time on his phone. "Don't talk about it yet. Should I go to the old house first? No one told me about the funeral process of starting a family."
Xiang Huan originally wanted to ask last night, but forgot.
Xiao Wu said that Cheng Tianyu told him last night that Xiang Huan went directly to the funeral home instead of the old house.
"Then when there is a funeral, don't you need your daughter to follow you from the beginning?" Xiang Huan knew a little bit about this kind of funeral custom and shouldn't arrange it like this.
"I'm guilty of a conspiracy, but that's how they arranged it. Sister, my Ye brother didn't come to see you last night?" Xiao Wu asked Cheng Ye.
Xiang Huan glanced at Xiao Wu and said, "Look, he can't go to the funeral today. I'll go find him when it's over."
"Oh, sister, why don't you close your eyes? We still have half an hour to go. I'll call you when we get there." Xiao Wu saw that Xiang Huan was not energetic, so he asked her to rest in the car.
Xiang Huan really needed it, so he closed his eyes to rest his mind, but after a while, he started thinking again, and he was thinking about Chengye.
Last night, when Xiang Huan looked at the WeChat message Chengye sent her, she realized that he had withdrawn it. He didn't know what it was about. So he sent it again to ask, but there was no response from Chengye for a while.
Xu Jiandong finished all his instant noodles and still didn't reply. Xiang Huan couldn't wait any longer and went back to the bedroom on the second floor to call him directly.
Cheng Ye answered the call this time, saying that he had something to do and didn't reply to Xiang Huan. He asked Xiang Huan to hang up and wanted to video chat with her.
The video was connected, and Narino, who hadn't seen him for a few days, looked very tired, and the dark circles under his eyes could be seen.
"What have I told you? What time will we leave tomorrow morning?" Cheng Ye stared at Xiang Huan, his voice sounded tired.
"Xiao Wu came to pick me up at 4:30. When I went home, Cheng Tianyu was getting an injection and told me about my daughter... Do you know?"
After hearing this, Cheng Ye pursed his lips tightly and nodded, saying that he also learned about it from Cheng Tianyu when Mrs. Cheng was dying.
Xiang Huan looked at Cheng Ye on the phone screen, "I don't remember such a thing, but I'm not sure. You also know about my illness."
"It should be true. Don't blame her. She probably just doesn't want me to associate with you anymore, and she's gone..." Narino said, smiling in the video.
Xiang Huan also smiled, "I know, you don't need to explain, I will do whatever I need to do."
"Thanks."
Such a simple word, Narino choked up a little when he said it.
After a moment of silence, Xiang Huan asked Chengye where he would stay tonight and what arrangements he would make for tomorrow.
Chengye pinched his eyebrows. "I'm at the hotel. I'll be at the funeral home tomorrow morning. When you're done, we'll meet up and go back to Yuncheng together."
Xiang Huan recalled here, but was interrupted by Xiao Wu calling him. She opened her eyes, but she didn't expect that before she knew it, she had arrived at the funeral parlor.
After a brief tidying up in the car, Xiang Huan and Xiao Wu got out of the car and met the others.
It didn't take long before I saw Shen Beibei.
Shen Beibei was talking to a few people who had just arrived. When he saw Xiang Huan, he waved to her and quickly came over.
"Those were some of Mrs. Cheng's friends just now. I thought you were coming here with your family. Why didn't you go to the old house?" Shen Beibei wiped his forehead with a tissue and asked Xiang Huan.
"That's how I was arranged." Xiang Huan didn't say much, looking at the people going in and out around him.
After Shen Beibei looked at Xiang Huan's clothes today, he sighed, "I really feel sorry for him at this time, and I can't come to see my mother off for the last time."
This was talking about Cheng Ye. Xiang Huan sounded emotionless and his eyes were fixed on a car that had just stopped not far away.
It was Xu Jiandong who came over.
Shen Beibei also saw it and turned to look at Xiang Huan, "I have to continue to receive the people who are coming. You should also go and get ready. It will be a big show later."
Xiang Huan was confused and looked at Shen Beibei walking towards Xu Jiandong's back.
After Xu Jiandong chatted with Shen Beibei for a few words, he continued to walk towards Xiang Huan and stopped one step away.
Many people present knew the two of them. When they saw the ex-husband and ex-wife standing together, although they didn't say anything, their eyes looked meaningful.
Xiang Huan didn't care about this. He spoke to Xu Jiandong openly and asked him if he would return to Piantao after the funeral.
Xu Jiandong said that he would not go there for the time being. There were many things to deal with and arrange here. Finally, he told Xiang Huan that Jiang Qiqiao would be here soon.
Xiang Huan's cell phone rang. She looked at it and said to Xu Jiandong, "I thought you would show up together."
The call was from Cheng Tianyu, asking Xiang Huan to wait at the door of Hall 1 where the farewell ceremony was held. The motorcade would be arriving soon.
After hanging up the phone, Xiang Huan saw that Xu Jiandong was also looking at his phone, and Jiang Qiqiao would be arriving soon.
Xiang Huan arrived at the door of Farewell Hall No. 1 and soon saw the motorcade coming from the old house. People who came directly to wait also gathered one after another.
In the crowd, Xiang Huan saw Jiang Qiqiao standing next to Xu Jiandong.
Even though she was wearing a lot, she could still tell that Jiang Qiqiao's bulging belly made her face much rounder.
Pregnant women were taboo to come to places like funeral parlors. Unexpectedly, Jiang Qiqiao came anyway. Xiang Huan lowered his head, feeling a little mixed for a moment.
But what happened next was very fast. After Xiang Huan was called to his side by Cheng Tianyu, he began to carry out various procedures according to his daughter's identity.
I don't have time to think about anything else.
When she could finally take a breath, Mrs. Cheng's ashes had been enshrined and her mission was basically completed.
Xiang Huan originally didn't want to go to the last meal of tofu rice, but Jiang Qiqiao reminded her that it would be unlucky not to go, so Xiang Huan went.
When leaving the funeral home, Xiang Huan sat in Cheng Tianyu's car. The driver was still Xiao Wu, but Mr. Cheng himself was in a different car.
After the car Cheng Tianyu was in drove away first, Xiao Wu followed behind.
Xiang Huan took a sip of water and slowly asked Xiao Wu if he had met the little boy at the farewell ceremony just now.
Know the identity of the child.
Xiao Wu nodded with an embarrassed expression, "I only knew it for a few days, and the confidentiality was too tight. I didn't know that I would bring that child here today. What's going on! Damn it!"
Xiang Huan believed what Xiao Wu said.
The protagonist of the big drama that Shen Beibei predicted to her was the little boy just mentioned.
