Looking back and smiling

Chapter 1 Eleven: Funeral

The two went to the supermarket to buy dumpling wrappers stuffed with meat and cabbage. When they got home, they saw Yangzhou come back in vain.

Yang Zhou hugs Bai Bai back, rubbing against each other.

Holding the dumpling wrapper, Li Xiao pretended to eat it and said, "When I came back, it didn't wag its tail so frequently."

Because Li Xiao was by his side, Yangzhou's mood became much calmer.

Yang Zhou glanced sideways at Li Xiao, and said speechlessly, "Do you want to eat my vinegar too?"

"Of course, you never rubbed against me." Li Xiao said with some dissatisfaction.

Yang Zhou thought for a while, put down Bai Bai in his arms, came to Li Xiao, hugged him, and rubbed against him.

Li Xiao: "..."

He thought it would be better for him to make dumplings first.

Li Xiao went to the kitchen to make dinner, while Yang Zhou sat alone in the living room.

The temperature in the living room dropped by five degrees in an instant, and the atmosphere gradually became colder from the little joke just now.

The smile on Yang Zhou's face disappeared, and he sat quietly on the sofa, with an unturned TV in front of him.It has been eight hours since his father passed away, and during these eight hours, he has not received a single call.

This shows that no one in the Yang family noticed him.

Even if the person who died was his father.

Now, his father's body is lying in a icy coffin in the funeral parlor, and all the people who come to mourn are famous and wealthy people in C city. If he goes now...Yang Zhou thought of the clothes he was wearing from the wholesale market in the morning , Even the security guards looked down on him, although he never cared about these things, but in the eyes of the Yang family, he had embarrassed them.

"Unhappy?" Li Xiao came out with the reconciled dumpling stuffing, and saw Yang Zhou sitting on the sofa sullenly, having something on his mind.But as soon as he asked the question, he regretted it. Of course Yang Zhou was not happy when Yang Lei passed away today.

"No." Yang Zhou denied, but he was so unhappy that he almost wrote those three words on his face.

"Because of your father?" Li Xiao asked cautiously, suddenly, he seemed to remember something. "By the way, why are you still here, you should go to keep the spirit!"

Li Xiao also has no father or mother, because his mother doesn't know whether he is dead or alive. As for his father... forget it.So he has never participated in the funeral of his relatives, but he still knows that if the elder passes away, the younger generation will go to guard the spirit.

"They didn't call me." Yang Zhou said in a low voice, biting his lower lip lightly, like a child abandoned by his parents.

"That's your biological father. If you go to guard his spirit, do you still need their consent?" Li Xiao put down the dumpling stuffing and sat beside Yang Zhou. "Maybe they thought you would definitely go, so they didn't call you."

Yang Zhou thought for a while, and it seemed to be the same thing, so he nodded, got up and said, "Then I'll go now." These two days have dealt a heavy blow to him, so his clever mind has not changed. It works.

In fact, Li Xiao didn't say that if they really wanted Yangzhou to go, they would have called to remind him if they hadn't seen him at the funeral home for eight hours.

Yangzhou walked to the door, turned around and looked at Li Xiao, "Daddy, you can go with me."

"Me?" Li Xiao pointed at himself.

"En." Yang Zhou nodded. "You haven't met my sister, she's a nice person."

"Okay, I'll go with you." Li Xiao put the dumpling stuffing into the refrigerator, filled the trough with dog food for Bai Bai, and went out with Yang Zhou.

After walking a few steps, Li Xiao suddenly grabbed Yang Zhou.

Yangzhou stopped and looked back at him.Li Xiao took out a small gift box from his bag, Yang Zhou knew it, it was the gift box he put the ring in at noon today.

"Don't give it back to me." Li Xiao opened the gift box, took out the ring and put it on his ring finger.

Yang Zhou touched the diamond ring on his ring finger and nodded.

City C, funeral home.

Many people came to Yang Lei's funeral, all of whom were prominent figures in City C. Fortunately, the parking garage under the funeral parlor was big enough, otherwise those luxury cars would have to be parked outside.

When Yang Zhou arrived, they had just finished their dinner.He came to the gate, pulled his coat, and bought his outfit from the wholesale market, which cost less than a hundred yuan.

"Zhou Zhou, you're here!" Yang Chengxian was sending a middle-aged man with a big belly out, and he saw Yang Zhou hovering at the door at a glance. "I thought you wouldn't come over, so I told them not to call you."

Hearing this, Yangzhou's face was a little ugly.

no need to call you...

no need to call...

He pursed his mouth and bowed his head in silence. Li Xiao couldn't get used to it, and asked coldly, "Is that person sleeping in the ice coffin your father?"

Just at this time, Yang Xi'an and Yang Shu came to the door together, and happened to hear Li Xiao's words, but Yang Xi'an did not get angry because of the gentleman's self-cultivation and the quality that the Yang family should have. Who are you?"

He looked Li Xiao up and down, not sure he knew this man.

Li Xiao smiled, his face was like this. "So you are his father. I thought the person sleeping in the ice coffin was his father. Otherwise, how could he have the right to let others come to guard his father without notifying Yang Zhou?" Li Xiao said emphatically about his father. two words.

The middle-aged man who came out with Yang Chengxian interjected at this time: "Nephew, this is your fault. Although you are the future chairman of Yuxing, how can you not let your son guard your father's spirit?"

Future chairman?Yangzhou was stunned. If Yang Chengxian became the chairman of Yuxing, what about his sister?

"You don't know Mr. Li. The main reason is that Zhouzhou doesn't like to go home, and he doesn't have a good relationship with his brother." Yang Shu explained with a smile. "To be honest, part of the reason why my brother committed suicide this time is because this son is not sensible."

"Suicide!" Yang Zhou was stunned, looking at Yang Shu in disbelief. "What did you say? My father committed suicide! How is that possible?"

Li Xiao didn't dare to visit Yangzhou, he knew exactly what was going on.

"You too, listen to the words on weekdays, and my brother will not commit suicide." Yang Shu's tone was accusatory, and her voice became louder, attracting many people to watch.

"Little sister, now that the eldest brother is gone, why are you still talking about this?" Yang Xi'an feigned anger. "Zhou Zhou also feels bad."

Impossible, absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible for my father to commit suicide.

"Knowing that it's not good, I knew something at the beginning. Why don't you let me, an aunt, say a few words after killing my own father?" Yang Shu's voice became louder.

At this time, Li Xiao really wanted to grab Yang Zhou's hand and lead him out of here.But he couldn't, he knew Yang Lei's position in Yangzhou's heart, if Yangzhou couldn't send his father off for the last time, it would be his lifelong regret.Moreover, the woman in front of her was obviously trying to anger Yang Zhou deliberately, trying to force him to leave.

Li Xiao clenched his fists tightly, implying that he should not be impulsive.

"Little sister!" Yang Xi'an shouted in displeasure, but it's hard to tell if it's true or not.

Even rich people can't change their habit of watching good shows, and some people like to talk about it.

such as……

"I'm talking about why Director Yang jumped off the building suddenly. It turns out that his son didn't live up to it."

"This is the skinny guy, the son of Director Yang? Why haven't I seen him before, but he looks quite cute. If I had known that I would have asked Director Yang to play with me, he wouldn't have jumped off the building." The man had just finished speaking when he realized that It was inappropriate to make this joke on this occasion, so he quickly apologized with a smile. "I was just joking."

"If you want it, just play with it." Yang Shu said indifferently. "Anyway, I'm a broom star, it's not you, how could this happen, hum!" After speaking, Yang Shu left angrily.

Yang Xi'an also pretended to be helpless, and explained to Yangzhou with a bit of hypocritical apology: "You know that your aunt and elder brother are deeply in love, so don't blame him."

Yangzhou only felt distressed, he looked at Li Xiao pitifully, and asked in a low voice, "What should I do?"

Li Xiao stretched out his hand and touched his head, and said softly: "If you don't want to stay here, let's go home."

Li Xiao and Yang Zhou's intimate behavior caught Yang Chengxian's attention, he soon found that Yang Zhou's left ring finger and the man's left ring finger were wearing the same type of diamond ring, he was a little surprised, but soon his surprise was overwhelmed by jealousy.

How could he let others get what he didn't have himself.

"Sir, what you said is wrong. How can you not let Zhou Zhou visit his father?" Yang Chengxian smiled harmlessly. "Besides, my cousin won't be able to come back tonight. As a son, you should stay with your father on the last journey."

"What's wrong with my sister?" Yang Zhou felt strange. Yang Chengxian refused to let them call, but why didn't his sister contact him.

"I think my cousin should be very busy right now." Yang Chengxian narrowed his eyes, revealing a bit of anxiety. "After all, she is in charge of the garden in the city. Now that the bid for the garden in the city has failed, it is said that she leaked the bid price to Lu Sen."

Li Xiao's eyes flickered, and the hand holding Yang Zhou became a little stiff.

"Impossible! It's absolutely impossible for my sister to leak company information!" Yang Zhou didn't believe that Yang Nisha did it.

Yang Chengxian smiled slightly, "Of course I don't believe it either. In this case, you go in first, and I will send Uncle Li to the car and come back later." He then smiled apologetically at Mr. Li who came out with him. "I'm sorry, Uncle Li."

"It's okay, it's okay!" Mr. Li was quite easy to talk to, and he was very satisfied with Yang Chengxian. "Fortunately, Old Brother Yang has a capable nephew like you. He has knowledge and can rest in peace."

Yang Chengxian sent Mr. Li out, and Yangzhou and Li Xiao entered the mourning hall together.

The mourning hall is located in the hall of the funeral home, and the ice coffin is placed in front of the hall, surrounded by wreaths of eulogy.Maybe it was because of the suicide note that appeared on Yang Lei's computer. Everyone in Yuxing believed that Yang Lei's death was because of Yang Zhou, and they ignored him when they saw him.

Yangzhou, who was supposed to be the family member of the deceased, was like an outsider who came to mourn. He burned incense in front of the ice coffin, bowed three times, and let him go to the side of the hall to rest.

He didn't even give him the black gauze and white flowers on his chest to wear mourning for his elders.

From the beginning, Yang Zhou's complexion has been bad, he has been holding back tears, but now he can't help it.Two lines of clear tears flowed from his eyes. He squatted in the corner, hugging his knees with his hands, crying helplessly.

Li Xiao didn't know how to comfort Yang Zhou, and he was feeling uncomfortable at this moment.He really wanted to tell the whole story out loud, but even if he said it now, what was the use? Who would believe it?

Li Xiao suddenly remembered that he had made a backup of the invasion of Yuxing and the fake will.If he takes this out, that's the best evidence.And since Hengyu gave him the false will, it means that he knew that Yang Lei would die the next day.It is impossible for him to have the ability to predict, there is only one possibility, Yang Lei's death was not suicide but man-made, and that person was inside the Yuxing Group.

Thinking of Yang Shu's aggressive look and Yang Chengxian's hypocrisy, this matter is definitely related to these two people.

Damn it, why didn't I pay attention to read that will at the beginning.But even if Yangzhou's name was mentioned in it, he still couldn't equate the Yangzhou in front of him, who was dressed all over the floor, with the son of Yuxing Group.After all, there are too many people with the same name and surname, and the name Yangzhou is quite common.

Li Xiao was thinking about telling Yangzhou everything for a while, and was giving him the USB flash drive.It's fine to let him hate himself, but he can't let Yangzhou suffer the injustice of forcing his father to death.

"Daddy..." Yang Zhou gently grabbed Li Xiao's clothes, raised his head, and looked at him with teary eyes.

"I'm here." Li Xiao felt distressed, it was still the high-spirited, heartless and heartless concubine who often had two convulsions.

"It's a good thing you're here, it's a good thing you're here." Yang Zhou smiled with tears in his eyes. "My heart hurts so much. I'm afraid, I'm really afraid. Daddy, you will never hurt me, right? You definitely won't."

Li Xiao was speechless.

Won't……

But I have already hurt you, the bloodstains on your heart were drawn by my own hands, and I have destroyed your happiness with my own hands.

"If even you don't want me, hurt me, betray me, I really don't know what to do?" Yang Zhou wept silently. "Actually, I really want to jump off the stairs like my father, so that everything will be fine."

"Stop talking silly, how can it be better if you jump down?" Li Xiao squatted in front of Yang Zhou, comforting him. "If you jump off the building, I will be sad, and your sister will be sad too."

Li Xiao knew that he couldn't tell the truth in front of this scarred child, not because he was afraid that he would hate him, but because he was afraid that the child would be hurt again.

"I know, it's because of you." Yangzhou smiled slightly. "I only have you."

Li Xiao also smiled back, but it was just a helpless wry smile.

Although there was a smile on his face, his palms gradually turned cold. The temperature in the funeral parlor hall was not high, but Li Xiao found that his back was already soaked.

At this moment, Yangzhou's cell phone rang. He thought it was his sister's call, but when he took out the cell phone, he saw that it was An Ziyu calling.

"Hello, Zhouzhou, are you okay?" An Ziyu's anxious voice came from the other end as soon as the phone was connected.

"I'm fine." In order to prove that he was really fine, Yangzhou laughed twice, but these two laughs sounded more like crying.

"Where are you? I'll be right over." An Ziyu and her mother went to the theater to rehearse throughout the day, and when they got home and had dinner at night, they just turned on their computer and logged on to QQ, when they saw the pop-up news about Yang Lei's suicide.

He and Yangzhou are buddies, they can be said to be childhood sweethearts since childhood, he knows that although Yangzhou doesn't like to go home, he and his father are deeply affectionate.He was afraid that Yangzhou would be overwhelmed, so he quickly called to ask.

"No need." Yang Zhou politely declined, it was not safe or convenient for An Ziyu to go out this late at night.

"Do you still consider me a friend?" An Ziyu didn't allow Yang Zhou to refuse. "Just as I'm here to mourn my uncle."

After An Ziyu's words came to this point, Yangzhou naturally couldn't refuse anymore, and hung up the phone after telling the address.

"An Ziyu is coming?" Li Xiao asked.

Yangzhou nodded.

"Talk to him more, it can be seen that he really cares about you." Li Xiao has a good impression of An Ziyu, he is pretty and has a good heart.

"I know." Yang Zhou couldn't help but think of when he was in high school, he, An Ziyu and Hengshen were like an iron triangle, but it was a pity that they and Hengshen didn't go the same way in the end.

Li Xiao sat next to Yang Zhou, chatted with him, and diverted his attention so that he would not be bored and sad by himself.After chatting for a while, Yang Zhou turned his head and looked towards the door, wanting to see if An Ziyu had come, but just as he turned his head, Yang Zhou froze.Li Xiao was also curious about who Yang Zhou saw, and he also looked towards the door... Seeing someone coming, Li Xiao's face darkened, as cold as ice.

The person who came was a man in his 20s, wearing a black suit and wearing rimless glasses. Even so, he gave people a refreshing and sunny feeling.

The person who came was—Hengshen.
