Chapter 409 Receiving the Person

“Old Gu is here too. You know, I saw him strolling in the park yesterday morning, and then he said he couldn’t make it last night. Sigh, life is unpredictable.” Professor Hu shook his head.

The other professors around him also shook their heads. They were all around the same age and had various illnesses. Seeing Professor Yao pass away like this, they felt a deep sense of sorrow.

"Who can argue with that!"

Gu Jianguo sighed, "The last time we met was at my granddaughter's college entrance banquet. He was in great spirits then. Jinse and Chuxiong even said that when they came back from abroad, they would take him to Beijing for a physical examination. Now that it's hot, they wanted him to go to Beijing with Mr. and Mrs. Chu to escape the heat and settle down there. But Lao Yao doesn't want to go anywhere. He says he likes it here. What do you think about this? Sigh!"

Professor Hu also shook his head: "It's all fate. By the way, why didn't Jinse come back? You've already returned from Beijing, where are they? This is her biological father!"

Grandma Gu stepped forward to explain, "The whole family is abroad! They called us early this morning to ask us to come and help out. They are flying back. Mr. and Mrs. Chu are also abroad. They are both quite old. Jinse probably didn't inform them. Jinse, Chu Xiong, and Ayan are on their way back and should arrive tonight. Don't worry, we're here for you.

Grandma Ye finally looked up at them. She glanced at the Gu family members, forced a smile, and said, "Don't bother me, I'm here."

Grandma Gu grabbed her hand: "It's alright, look at your face, you look so tired. Now that our family is here, you can go and rest for a while. We'll need you tonight, but we can take care of things here during the day!"

Grandma Ye opened her mouth to refuse, but the other professors all advised her to go back and rest first. In addition, Li Xiang directly helped her upstairs, so she had no choice but to go upstairs. Besides, she hadn't rested yesterday or today, so she was indeed tired. She thought that since Yao Jinse wouldn't be back until tonight, she had done enough to save face, and everyone had seen it, so she didn't refuse anymore.

Seeing her aunt being led away, Ye Tiantian glanced at Gu Yin, then at her parents who remained silent, and stood there motionless with her lips pursed. After all, they couldn't possibly drive her family away!

Gu Jianguo and Li Mingfang asked Gu Qingming and the others to wait there to receive the guests, while they went to discuss the evening's events and follow-up issues with the monk.

They also help out when an elderly person in the village passes away, so they are quite familiar with the procedures involved.

Gu Yin and the others entered the mourning hall first, offered incense, and then waited on the side.

People came and went, some acquaintances, some strangers. Grandpa Yao's life trajectory was explained in a single day: he came clean and left clean.

As evening fell and fewer people arrived, Gu Yin and Gu Le headed to the airport to wait for someone.

"Sister, do you think if there are really people waiting for us, they might back down when they see us?!" Gu Le looked out the window at the road conditions. It was the time when people were going home from get off work or out looking for food, and the roads were full of cars and people.

Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this: "Very likely, so later you should keep those four cars away from us, don't get close. After picking up the person, let two cars drive first, and then we'll follow. The other two cars will catch up slowly."

Gu Le took out her phone and sent a message.

When we were about to arrive at the airport, the two cars behind us slowed down and stopped following. The car in front of us drove forward for another 20 meters before stopping.

"Young master and young lady, would you like to rest first? I'll remind you when the person comes out." Gu Yin was surprised by the other person's fluent Mandarin.

Seeing Gu Yin's surprise, the other party explained, "We work abroad and are not affiliated with any country, so our clients are all over the world, which means we need to learn more languages."

I see.

"Do you guys know everything? Like those characters on TV?" Gu Yin was quite curious.

The driver chuckled, "Pretty much. The more skills you have, the more orders you get, and the higher your price will be."

This applies to any industry.

The two chatted for a while longer when Gu Yin's phone suddenly rang.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a call from Chu Yan.

Gu Yin answered immediately and hurriedly asked, "You've gotten off the plane?!"

Chu Yan, who had just gotten off the plane, nodded: "Yes, I just got off the plane and I'm on my way there now. How is it? Things haven't gotten chaotic at my grandfather's place, have they?"

Gu Yin: "No, my family is all here. My grandparents are experienced and have been watching over us. By the way, Ah Le and I are at the airport entrance. You and your uncle and aunt come this way, and we'll go back together."

Chu Yan, who was originally heading to the parking lot, waved to his parents upon hearing this, changed direction, and walked towards the main entrance.

Five minutes later, the three figures appeared at the airport entrance.

Gu Yin got out of the car and waved.

Chu Yan's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran over: "Why are you all here?"

"I just saw some guests off, and I didn't expect you to have just gotten off the plane too. What a coincidence." As for the fact that I came here specifically to wait for them, let's not talk about it.

Wearing sunglasses, Yao Jinse said in a hoarse voice, "Is everything alright at home?"

Gu Yin opened the car door and let them get in: "When we arrived, Grandma Ye and Ye Tiantian's parents were waiting at the door to greet the guests. After we arrived, Grandpa asked my uncle and my parents to greet us, while he went to communicate with the monk. Grandma Ye was not in good spirits, so we let her go and rest first. Everything else is fine."

Yao Jinse nodded, got into the car, leaned on Chu Xiong's shoulder, and remained silent.

After everyone got on the bus, Gu Le told the driver to drive back.
