Turnaround Life: The Rebirth Elegy of the Wealthy Wife
Chapter 10 Funeral
"Jumped off the building?" Tang Wenwan's heart tightened, thinking, "It's really hard to escape death." Alarm bells rang all over her body, and she leaned on the door frame and asked anxiously, "Is it true?"
The two men were forced to stop by her question.
Tang Wensong stood between the two of them, scratching his head, not knowing how to explain.
On one hand, his sister's secret makes him help protect Jiang Kaichen, and on the other hand, Jiang Kaichen's secret makes him have to protect his sister.
He is now like a strong wind caught in a sun shower, no matter how it blows, it is unnecessary and awkward.
He simply gritted his teeth, took a step back, and let the two awkward guys look at each other directly, saving him from having to worry about anything.
When he met Tang Wenwan's big eyes, blinking with curiosity and nervousness, the anger that was about to kill Tang Wensong instantly died down to a low simmer.
"You shouldn't have gone today." Jiang Kaichen thought about it and gave an explanation.
The annotations of "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask" are all locked in his seemingly a little irritated brows.
"I just hugged you for nothing." Tang Wenwan curled her lips and cursed in her heart. "You are still so stubborn and don't recognize me. Let me see how I can deal with you."
"Don't run around these two days. There's no one at home and your brother is busy and doesn't have time to take care of you." Tang Wensong still couldn't bear to see his sister being wronged, so he sighed and risked his life to come up and smooth things over, and pushed her into the door.
Tang Wenwan only had time to lie down behind the closed door and listen to Tang Wensong's explanations as he walked away: "It was really not me who took the initiative to bring her there... She was also worried about you... You see, she made her case so convincingly..."
During these two days, Tang Wenwan stayed at home obediently. However, the incident of Tang's grandfather jumping off the building became a hot topic in the city due to the high attention and crazy reports from the media. One could get a general idea of it without going out.
Tang Wenwan sat on the sofa with a cup of coffee in her hand. The TV screen showed detailed analysis and reports of the incident of Grandpa Zhu jumping off the building by major news channels.
She stared at the screen with a complicated expression. The "City Hotspot" column was playing: "Hello everyone, let's get into our topic today, the controversial case of the head of the Zhu family, who mysteriously jumped off a building."
The host adjusted the microphone and smiled mysteriously, "It is understood that since the new head of the Zhu family took over, on the surface, the Zhu family's collection business is still operating. But in fact, the Zhu family's collection market has been controversial ten years ago because of the authenticity of a famous painting..."
The images on the TV kept switching, and a pile of IOUs and sealed judicial documents appeared one after another.
The host said sharply: "Over the years, Mr. Zhu has been drowning himself in wine, sex, money and power. He used old items to fill the gap in the family's finances. He felt that no one knew about it, but in fact he was digging his own grave..."
"The Zhu family has been cooperating with the black market art dealers over the years, and they were paid less than they reported, and the profits were quietly embezzled by the other party, but they seemed to have no awareness..." On TV, the reporters' serious and calm analysis made the incident even more confusing.
"Ding..." The ringing of the phone sounded a bit like a complaint amid the noisy sound of the TV.
Zhang Xincheng? Tang Wenwan glanced at the name displayed on her phone and curled her lips.
"Hello..." Tang Wenwan turned off the TV and let the phone ring for a while before answering it.
"Wen Wan, have you heard about Zhu Xin's father jumping off the building?"
On the other end of the phone, Zhang Xincheng's voice came through with a hint of inquiry.
Tang Wenwan took a deep breath, sighed, and replied, "Yes, I saw the news."
"The Zhu family is in a mess now. There is overwhelming negative news outside, which is very unfavorable to the Zhu family. The old man of the Zhu family decided to cut off his robe to survive and clear out Zhu Xin's father's family. Zhu Xin may be kicked out."
Zhang Xincheng was a little confused about Tang Wenwan's emotions, so he could only describe the Zhu family's affairs in a very exaggerated way.
Tang Wenwan's mind was still racing with the differences between the current situation and the death of Zhu Xin's father in her previous life, so she was very cautious and just pondered without answering.
Zhang Xincheng sighed after hearing no response for a long time: "So, I want to ask if you can attend Zhu Xin's father's funeral for the sake of being good friends with her? Showing up for the Tang family's sake can at least deter the Zhu family from being so heartless towards Zhu Xin."
Tang Wenwan's eyebrows jumped. Openly supporting Zhu Xin? Thinking of her past life, she laughed at herself in her heart, "Is this trying to get the skin of a tiger?"
"But my brother doesn't let me go out recently." Tang Wenwan hesitated and said.
The person on the other end of the phone obviously didn't expect her to refuse so straightforwardly. After a long silence, he tentatively added, "If we don't help her... Zhu Xin doesn't seem to want to live anymore."
The statue of Shen kneeling on the seabed appeared in my mind again.
"You will die sooner or later." Tang Wenwan almost blurted out.
She was so scared that she covered her mouth to the microphone and only had time to utter "Ah..."
"On the night of the auction, Zhu Xin was originally excited to invite you to their after party..." Zhang Xincheng thought he had heard Tang Wenwan's willingness, so he added.
But this sentence was like a match that lit up the mystery in Tang Wenwan's eyes.
There was no car accident in the previous life, but the person still died. Although public opinion is now one-sidedly unfavorable to the Zhu family, will there be any more trouble at the funeral that is unfavorable to Jiang Kaichen...
"Then... I'll see if I can sneak out." Tang Wenwan sat up straight and answered seriously, her little head desperately reviewing the hundreds of possibilities of the disaster from the previous life recurring.
On the day of the funeral, Tang Wenwan wore plain black clothes and went to Zhu's house alone.
She thought the air should be filled with sadness and sorrow, but when she stepped into the Zhu family's gate, she saw a room full of coldness and ridicule.
As we walked into the closed meeting room, the voices were dull and the looks between people in each room were as sharp as knives, which made people feel chilled.
Zhu Xin, who was praying silently with her eyes lowered, had dull pupils under her slightly red eyes. In just a few days, this 18-year-old girl looked like she had been hit by frost.
The hatred from her previous life and the sympathy of the present are intertwined. She is just a little girl who has just entered the world. Will all the causes and effects be reversed because of her father's sudden death?
Looking at the girl who seemed to be about to break at any moment, Tang Wenwan suddenly regretted showing up. She felt that it was a bit cruel for her to stand there with ulterior motives.
Under the ambiguous gazes of the crowd, he turned around and was about to leave, but he saw Jiang Kaichen stepping into the mourning hall.
Obviously not expecting to see Tang Wenwan here, Jiang Kaichen stopped unconsciously and frowned.
And during this pause, Zhang Lingyue, dressed in a black cheongsam and exuding a faint medicinal fragrance, and with restrained charm, came over from behind Jiang Kaichen.
Jiang Kaichen looked even more solemn today in his black suit, and Zhang Lingyue standing beside him looked even more mysterious, like an iris in the night.
"They're quite a match..." Tang Wenwan became jealous and pouted.
Revenge, stand up, find out the truth...all the plans in her mind were immediately thrown out of her mind.
Jiang Kaichen's brows were slightly furrowed, and they became knotted when he noticed Zhang Xincheng catching up with him.
"Wenwan, are you leaving?" Zhang Xincheng trotted over and grabbed Tang Wenwan's arm, whispering in her ear.
Tang Wenwan was still immersed in her jealousy and didn't react for a moment, and was almost grabbed by someone.
"Ah? Ah!" After seeing Zhang Xincheng clearly, she realized belatedly that she was about to retreat.
But when he turned around and looked at Jiang Kaichen's horrifying look as he stared down at Zhang Xincheng who was grabbing his hand, and Iris who was not far away from him with a smile on her face and looking forward to the show, he suddenly became rebellious.
"Who said we're leaving?" He turned around and went straight to the mourning hall.
