Chapter 248 Nailing the Coffin
The Qiao family's little troubles have been known to everyone in the circle for the past few days. However, at He Yurou's funeral today, even if everyone is upset, they will not say much. After all, the dead are the most important, and there is no need to make trouble at someone's funeral.
But Song Tianjun obviously doesn't care about these.
As soon as he came in, he heard Qiao Xusheng scolding Qiao Ruoxing, and he couldn't help wondering.
According to the information he checked, He Yurou is actually a very outstanding woman except for her strong personality. Why did she choose such a heartless thing as her husband?
Qiao Xusheng's back froze, and he turned around in annoyance, looking at the unfamiliar man in front of him, frowning and saying, "I'm talking to my daughter, do you need an outsider to interrupt?"
Song Tianjun was about to speak when he heard Qiao Ruoxing say, "Qiao Xusheng, today is my mother's funeral. If you are here to see her off, just shut up and burn incense. If you are here to make trouble, get out!"
Qiao Xusheng's face immediately became extremely ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "How do you talk to me? I'm your father!"
Qiao Ruoxing raised the corners of his lips mockingly, and said in a very low voice, "Don't insult this word. I don't want to argue with you here today, but if you ruin my mother's funeral, I will make your two children live a life worse than death. If you don't believe it, try it." After speaking, he paused and uttered a few words softly, "Lingjiang Primary School, right?"
Qiao Xusheng looked into Qiao Ruoxing's eyes, and his back was tingling with goose bumps, and he was even more shocked and doubtful.
Qiao Ruoxing actually knew that he had a son and the school the child attended!
Thinking of her method of dealing with Qiao Siyao, Qiao Xusheng couldn't help but feel scared. His eyes were shocked and angry, but he dared not speak again.
With a tense face, he lit incense and stood aside.
Song Tianjun handed Song Jiayu a few incense sticks. The two bowed, lit the incense, and walked to Qiao Ruoxing.
"Mrs. Gu, I'm sorry."
Qiao Ruoxing nodded slightly, "Thank you."
Song Jiayu looked at the woman in front of her. She was so delicate that she looked like a beauty from a painting. Her haggard look could not match the beauty of her facial features.
She studied fashion design and had seen many supermodels and celebrities, but it was the first time she was as stunning as Qiao Ruoxing.
She walked aside and looked at the scene. Just as she was wondering why there were no members of the Gu family at this funeral, she heard a commotion outside.
Someone from the Gu family came.
As soon as the car stopped, Uncle Qin got out and opened the door.
The old lady got out of the car and hurried to the funeral home.
Zhong Meilan got out of the car behind and quickly caught up with the old lady. She supported her and whispered, "Mom, please walk slowly."
The old lady shook her hand away and said with a gloomy face, "You didn't help Ruoxing to take care of the funeral for your mother-in-law's funeral, and you came now?"
There were still many people outside. Zhong Meilan was scolded by the old lady in person, and she was a little embarrassed. She explained in a low voice, "Ruoxing didn't tell me in advance, and I just found out."
"If you had paid more attention and sent someone to check every now and then, you wouldn't have known it when it was right in front of you!" The old lady was extremely angry, "When your parents died, what did your father-in-law and I do? For so many years, you haven't made any progress! Such a big thing, you let Ruoxing bear it alone, do you have any eldership?"
The old lady is a very shrewd person. She has been with Ruoxing for a few years, so she naturally knows how sensible she is.
Now that her mother has passed away, if there is no other reason, how could she not mention it to the Gu family?
The incident happened too suddenly, and the old lady had no time to check the whole story, but it did not prevent her from speculating who the instigator was.
Zhong Meilan's face turned blue and red, and she clenched her hands tightly, unable to say a word.
Song Qingyun had seen enough of Zhong Meilan's embarrassment, so she stepped forward to support the old lady, "Mom, calm down, my sister-in-law has been very busy recently, maybe she neglected it. I sent someone to order wreaths and elegiac couplets last night, and they have been sent in advance. Let's go in and see Ruoxing first. This child has suffered such a thing for several days in a row, which is pitiful."
The old lady's expression eased a little, and she glanced at Zhong Meilan coldly, and was supported by Song Qingyun to walk in.
Gu Jingyang also blamed Zhong Meilan a little this time.
She said that she would not let her intervene at this time. Although stopping Qiao Ruoxing's card would not directly lead to He Yurou's death, her action at this time was undoubtedly a push.
Gu Jingyang naturally didn't think it was a pity that He Yurou died. She was worried that Gu Jingyan would blame her when he came back.
"Jingyang, help your mother."
Gu Qinghai said lightly beside him.
Gu Jingyang said "Oh", although he was a little reluctant, he still walked up to help Zhong Meilan, "Mom, let's go in too."
As soon as the Gu family came, the people who attended the memorial service took the initiative to make way.
The old lady pursed her lips and walked in with a solemn face.
Her steps were much heavier than usual. Second Aunt Song Qingyun took the incense from Mo Mingxuan and handed it to the old lady.
After several people saluted, the old lady walked to Qiao Ruoxing.
In just a few days, Qiao Ruoxing's face became smaller. Seeing this, the old lady felt distressed.
She stepped forward and held Qiao Ruoxing's hand, sighing softly, "Child, you have suffered, I am late."
Qiao Ruoxing's nose was sour and tears almost burst out.
She suppressed her emotions and said hoarsely, "Grandma, I'm fine."
"How can it be okay?" The old lady caressed her face lovingly and whispered, "Don't be afraid, the Gu family will also be your natal family in the future. Grandma will support you. I don't know who dares to bully you."
Qiao Ruoxing lowered her eyes and said softly, "Thank you, grandma."
The old lady's voice was not loud, but the mourning hall was large, and no one was talking at this time, so everyone present heard every word clearly.
Qiao Xusheng was really regretful at this moment. He shouldn't have listened to Bai Huizhu's words and torn his face with Qiao Ruoxing.
Isn't the old lady's words telling everyone that the Gu family will be Qiao Ruoxing's backer in the future?
With the Gu family as a backer for Qiao Ruoxing, he just needs to get along well with Qiao Ruoxing, and the Qiao family will not worry about not getting shade?
It's said that women have long hair and short knowledge, and they shouldn't listen to their nonsense!
Zhong Meilan's face was even uglier. The old lady repeatedly supported Qiao Ruoxing in public, which was simply stomping on her face as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family. She even regretted not taking action earlier!
After perfunctorily burning incense, Zhong Meilan stood by with a cold face. The old lady was very dissatisfied with her attitude, but because there were so many people at the scene, she did not speak again.
At 10 o'clock, the memorial service officially began.
At 10:40, the memorial service ended and cremation began.
Shen Qingchuan kept calling Gu Jingyan.
Didn't this guy say he could come at 10:30? What on earth is he doing?
Just when the staff of the funeral home were preparing to nail the coffin, he finally saw Gu Jingyan rushing back in a dusty state.
