Chapter 1710 He Is Here After All

Chapter 1809 He is still here

When she heard that he was coming, Duan Shuxian was a little anxious, "You... Can you not come over first?"

After hearing this, Xi Jingchen guessed what she was worried about, so he had to sigh and say, "Okay! I won't go over, you have to take good care of yourself and your family."

"I will." Duan Shuxian responded seriously. She didn't dare to let him come over, for fear of irritating Duan Shumin.

The funeral two days later was held in a large mourning hall. Duan Shuxian and her mother stood at the door to welcome the guests who came to mourn. Duan Shumin and Duan Siye stood in front of Song Meilan's coffin in black clothes to thank the people who came to send flowers and condolences.

Old Master Duan and his two sons also whispered to the guests and accepted their comfort.

Suddenly, a younger generation of Duan Deliang walked over from the door and whispered to Mr. Duan, "Uncle Duan, Grandpa Duan, the president's wife is here."

Mr. Duan was immediately surprised, "Are you sure the wife is here?"

"Yes! Very sure, the wife's car is already outside."

Mr. Duan and his two sons looked at each other, and immediately stepped out of the mourning hall to greet the president's wife Chu Yue without delay.

Duan Shuxian was arranging the bouquets sent by the guests, and did not notice that her father and grandfather had gone out. Duan Shumin and Duan Siye seemed to have a premonition that a big man was coming.

Duan Shumin's heartstrings suddenly tightened a little. She looked up at the door. Her heart was struggling in all kinds of ways. She closed her eyes, as if to restrain the hidden expectation.

She looked at Duan Shuxian who was arranging the bouquets for her mother. In the past two days, she saw the sadness of her uncle and aunt's family over her mother's death, and also felt that family is the warmest existence in times of trouble.

Even though Duan Shumin had a premonition that Xi Jingchen might come, she also put away all her thoughts.

At this time, in the direction of the door, Chu Yue was dressed in black. Beside her, Xi Jingchen was also dressed in a black suit. He followed his mother's steps and walked in. The guests all looked over here, feeling surprised and honored. At the same time, they also affirmed the status of the Duan family in the country.

Even the president's wife came to mourn. The tall and handsome young man standing next to her must be her son with the president's husband!

Chu Yue's face was filled with grief. She walked towards Song Meilan's reception area with her son in a solemn and serious manner.

Duan Shuxian only felt that the surroundings were too quiet. She stopped squatting beside her to arrange the bouquet. She couldn't help but look up and saw a slender figure walking towards this side.

Duan Shuxian's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she couldn't believe that he was here.

However, she naturally couldn't ignore the woman next to Xi Jingchen, who was beautiful and elegant. She was his mother, the president's wife of this country.

Xi Jingchen looked at her with a trace of worry.

Duan Shuxian blinked, but when he came over, she turned her back.

Duan Shumin didn't expect that even the president's wife would come over. She thought that her mother in the underworld would feel extremely honored. Duan Siye and Xi Jingchen nodded in greeting. Chu Yue gently held Duan Shumin's hand and comforted her softly, "Miss Duan, please accept my condolences. We are all very sorry about your mother's matter."

"Thank you, Madam!" Duan Shumin nodded in thanks. She looked up at Xi Jingchen beside her, "Thank you, Master Xi, for coming."

Xi Jingchen nodded to the two siblings. He and his mother took the incense sticks handed over by the side and lit a stick for Song Meilan.

Chu Yue said to her son beside her, "I'll talk to Master Duan and the others!"

Duan Shumin looked at Duan Shuxian who was arranging the bouquet for her mother. She wondered if she didn't know Xi Jingchen was here yet?

She came over and called her, "Shuxian, Master Xi is here!"

Duan Shuxian certainly knew he was here, but at this time, she couldn't talk to him for long.

"I know!" Duan Shuxian nodded, "I'll arrange the flowers!"

"Don't arrange them, you can go out for a walk with Master Xi!" Duan Shumin said, took her hand, and walked towards Xi Jingchen who was standing next to her and didn't come close either.

Xi Jingchen could feel that Duan Shuxian didn't want to talk to him at this time, so he didn't disturb her.

He came here to mourn with his mother this time.

Duan Shuxian looked at Duan Shumin with some surprise, "Sister Min, I'll stay here to help!"

Duan Shumin knew that Duan Shuxian avoided Xi Jingchen because she was considering her feelings, and she felt it was unnecessary because she wished them both the best.

"He is Master Xi, a distinguished guest. We in the Duan family cannot neglect him! Go!" After saying that, Duan Shumin pushed her in the direction where Xi Jingchen was standing.

Duan Shuxian looked back at her, and Duan Shumin continued to greet the guests at her place. Duan Shuxian twisted her hands and walked to his side a little stiffly. She glanced at the president's wife who was talking to her grandfather, and she felt respect in her heart.

"Do you want to go out for a walk?" Xi Jingchen asked her softly.

Duan Shuxian nodded, "Okay!"

Xi Jingchen and Duan Shuxian stepped out of the crowd, and the mourning hall was shrouded in a sad atmosphere.

Duan Shuxian and Xi Jingchen walked side by side on a garden path next to them. Duan Shuxian's mind was a little blank. What happened in the past two days made her a little at a loss.

Xi Jingchen's eyes fell on her haggard face with some worry, and asked in a low voice, "When something like this happens, we can only look at it more open-mindedly."

"When my aunt passed away, we were not by her side. It was too sudden." Duan Shuxian sighed.

Xi Jingchen reached out and patted her gently, "Things are unpredictable. This is something that no one wants to happen. Now that it has happened, we must learn to bear it."

Duan Shuxian nodded, and the two continued to be silent. After walking around the small garden, they saw Chu Yue step out with the farewell of Grandpa Duan and Duan Deliang. People around her greeted her kindly.

Duan Shuxian said to Xi Jingchen, "You accompany the lady back!"

Xi Jingchen also knew that this was not the best time, so he did not introduce more. He said to her, "Take care of yourself and rest. I will come to see you in a few days."

After that, Xi Jingchen walked towards Chu Yue, and Chu Yue's eyes also looked over here. Duan Shuxian directly bumped into Chu Yue's eyes. She was flustered and nervous for a few seconds. Chu Yue smiled and nodded at her.

Duan Shuxian bowed respectfully in return. Xi Jingchen returned to his mother's side and looked back at Duan Shuxian affectionately. He accompanied his mother to the direction of their motorcade.

Duan Shuxian returned to the mourning hall. Almost all the guests were present. In the afternoon, the coffin would be carried to the cemetery for burial.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye. A good person suddenly left, as if it was a bit dazed.

Duan Shumin asked for leave at home. She would be transferred to a job abroad in half a month.

Before she went abroad, she just wanted to spend time at home. She was haggard and thin.

Duan Shuxian asked for a week's leave, but she still needed to go back to work after the holiday.

Duan Deming and his wife also put down everything and came to take care of Grandpa Duan. The family depended on each other closely.

Duan Shuxian had been working in the museum for three days in a blink of an eye. Although she was still sad, she did not neglect the guests at work.

Duan Shuxian had been working for several days, so she had very little time to rest. When she was standing at the reception desk, she suddenly felt the floor in front of her shaking. Then, she felt dizzy and unsteady, so she immediately held onto the wall next to her.

"Shuxian, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Her colleague immediately found her.

Duan Shuxian supported her because she was dizzy at the moment. She said, "Can you help me take a rest? I might have hypoglycemia."

She had experienced this before, so she knew it was hypoglycemia as soon as she felt dizzy.

Duan Shuxian was sent to the lounge. The curator who happened to pass by saw her. He pushed the door open and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Curator, Xiao Duan is dizzy and needs to rest."

The curator immediately stepped forward and asked with concern, "Xiao Duan, what's wrong with you? Is it serious? Do you want to send her to the hospital?"

"No, I'll just sit for a while." Duan Shuxian shook her head, "Thank you for your concern, curator."

The curator looked at Duan Shuxian's pale and haggard appearance, and he suddenly remembered Xi Jingchen's last instruction that he should be informed of anything related to Duan Shuxian.
