Chapter 249 Let’s Divorce
Shen Qingchuan quickly stopped the person who was nailing the coffin, "Wait a minute, the family members are here. Finish the incense and then nail the coffin!"
Several people paused.
Qiao Ruoxing raised her head.
Gu Jingyan walked quickly into the mourning hall with a tense face and wearing a suit.
Their eyes met, Qiao Ruoxing's eyes were neither sad nor happy, looking at him like looking at a stranger.
Gu Jingyan panicked for no reason.
Shen Qingchuan rushed forward and put the black sleeve gauze in his hand on Gu Jingyan's right arm.
Seeing that he was still dazed, the old lady reminded her, "Jingyan, I want to send your mother-in-law on her last journey."
Zhong Meilan stepped forward and handed Gu Jingyan a white flower and whispered, "Bow a few times."
Gu Jingyan calmed down, walked to the coffin with the flowers, bowed deeply three times, and then put the flowers into the coffin.
Seeing this, the old lady frowned and finally said nothing.
After Gu Jingyan saluted, he raised his head and wanted to say something to Qiao Ruoxing, but she turned her face away and said to the staff, "Let's nail the coffin."
Gu Jingyan pursed his lips.
In the huge funeral home, you could only hear the sound of nails being hammered into the wooden boards. With the last hammer, He Yurou bid farewell to this world completely.
The cremation took a long time, so Shen Qingchuan booked a restaurant nearby in advance, and everyone went there to rest their stomachs at noon.
We could have booked a better restaurant, but the funeral was arranged in such a hurry that many things were not available in time. All we can say is that we should do our best in the shortest possible time.
Most of the people who came to express condolences had dispersed, and the old lady couldn't stand. She said a few words to Qiao Ruoxing, then returned to the car, and gave her eldest grandson a wink before leaving.
Gu Jingyan walked up to Qiao Ruoxing, his Adam's apple slid, and after a long time he said, "The plane is delayed."
Qiao Ruoxing said nothing, turned to Tang Xiao and said with a smile, "Xiao Xiao, do you want to go to the bathroom?"
Tang Xiaoxiao was about to say no, but when he looked up and saw their expressions, he immediately changed his words and said, "Okay."
Shen Qingchuan frowned, "What's good? Didn't you just go there? Are you urinating frequently?"
Did this female bandit have any eyesight? She didn't see the couple getting into trouble, and she went to cause trouble!
Tang Xiaoxiao twitched the corner of her mouth and glared at him, "You can't stop peeing!"
After saying that, he pulled Qiao Ruoxing away.
Shen Qingchuan...
Seeing Gu Jingyan's stupid look, he stepped forward and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he couldn't help but complain.
"Aren't you usually very talkative? What nonsense did you say just now? What do you mean the plane is delayed? For your mother-in-law's funeral, even if a knife comes from the sky, you have to come back! You should let your wife know that you are also worried and Be anxious, instead of trying to talk nonsense to her!"
"Her mother has just passed away, and she is now at a vulnerable time. You don't just hold her in your arms to comfort her, but at least let her know your attitude? Her mother, you are her husband. In this situation, you Is it ridiculous that you bowed three times to someone who was asked to kneel in mourning?"
Gu Jingyan was stunned, "Do I have to kneel down?"
Shen Qingchuan was almost furious, "You are a son-in-law, a very filial piety! Qiao Ruoxing knelt here all night last night! Didn't anyone in your family tell you?"
Gu Jingyan fell silent.
The Gu family has not held a funeral in more than 20 years. He does not know all the funeral procedures, nor does he know what he, as a son-in-law, should do on such an occasion.
Zhong Meilan said bow, so he thought bowing would be enough.
As an elder, how could she not know what kind of etiquette she should perform on such an occasion?
Gu Jingyan frowned and asked after a while, "Has anything happened in the past few days?"
"Yes. A few days ago, a group of people went to your mother-in-law's ward to make trouble. They pulled out her oxygen tube and asked for some money. My sister-in-law called me, and I went there with Mingxuan. Fortunately, we were there at that time. After that, those bitches started attacking my sister-in-law. If it weren't for her in the hospital, I would have to remove his arms and legs."
Shen Qingchuan paused, "Your mother-in-law probably died because she had her oxygen tube removed and was tortured."
Gu Jingyan's expression turned ugly, "Do you know who he is?"
"I don't know, but Mingxuan said they were not looking for money, because these cowards ran away immediately when they heard us calling the police. The hospital's surveillance camera probably captured the faces. We will check who is doing this when the time comes. ”
Shen Qingchuan paused, "I still want to ask you, where have you been these past few days? I can't get through the phone. What are you doing? Where is Lin Shu? Didn't he come back with you?"
"Help a friend do something." Gu Jingyan said calmly.
"Why are you helping a friend and making yourself so shameless?"
Gu Jingyan said, "Friends have a special status."
When Shen Qingchuan heard this, he stopped asking any more questions.
He has a special status. He is either a friend at the border or a friend from above. Naturally, it is better to ask less about this kind of thing.
"What kind of friends are special?"
Mo Mingxuan's voice came from the side and said warmly, "Do you have any friends that you don't know?"
Gu Jingyan pursed his lips and said nothing.
Shen Qingchuan joked, "You haven't been back for so many years. Isn't it normal for us to make a new friend? Are you jealous?"
Mo Mingxuan smiled, turned to Gu Jingyan and said, "Ruoxing has been in a very bad state these days. She even fainted the night Aunt He died. Please be more considerate these days."
Gu Jingyan clenched his hands tightly, feeling a dull pain in his chest.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the cremation was completed.
The funeral started at half past one.
Qiao Ruoxing picked up Zhong Meilan's urn.
With Shen Qingchuan's previous advice, Gu Jingyan finally had a brain this time.
He took the urn from Qiao Ruoxing's hand and whispered, "Let me do it."
Qiao Ruoxing didn't fight with him, so she took the photo of He Yurou handed to her by someone else and held it in her hand.
The two of them took a car, and Qiao Ruoxing was very quiet all the way.
Gu Jingyan wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say.
Qiao Ruoxing didn't seem to want to talk to him.
He hoped she could make a fuss.
Too quiet, not only did she not talk much, but even her eyes didn't turn red.
This desperately suppressed emotion made Gu Jingyan feel uncomfortable.
Finally, the car arrived at the cemetery.
The old lady didn't get off the car. She had just stood in the funeral home for a long time, and her legs were aching badly at the moment, but she didn't forget to tell Uncle Qin to remind Gu Jingyan more at the scene.
After all, it was the first time for the children to experience such a thing. They were not familiar with anything. They should not lose their manners because of this.
The burial went very smoothly. The only bad thing was Qiao Xusheng's wailing beside him.
Hypocritical and disgusting.
When the last handful of soil was covered, Qiao Ruoxing stood up from the ground.
She turned her head to look at Gu Jingyan, her expression cold and clear.
A breeze blew by, and he heard Qiao Ruoxing's voice in his ears with the wind. She said, "Gu Jingyan, let's get a divorce."
