After being the pampered young lady of the Lu family for seventeen years, she discovered she was actually a fake heiress. Meng Anran decisively cut ties with the Lu family and returned to the finan...
Chapter 443 The Heartless Wu Family
Zhou Jian also helped to arrange the funeral arrangements for Wu Yu's mother.
I asked the police to contact the relatives of the Wu family, but they all seemed to be avoiding me and no one came.
It seemed like they were all afraid that after the funeral, they would have to take over a burden like Wu Yu.
So the funeral was just a simple ceremony.
What Zhou Jian didn't expect was that Wu Yu didn't cry.
She seemed to know that her mother would never come back and left her just like her father.
From now on, no matter how hard she cries, her parents will no longer hold her or comfort her.
When Meng Anran arrived at the crematorium, Wu's mother had already sealed the coffin.
She saw Wu Yu's tiny shadow huddled in the corner, with his head buried in his knees. He must be crying, but no sound came out.
Zhou Jian tactfully didn't disturb Wu Yu. When he saw Meng Anran coming over, he pulled her to the door to talk.
"I didn't expect the Wu family to be so heartless! Not wanting to adopt Yuyu is one thing, but they didn't even come to their own sister's funeral. Are they still human?!"
Zhou Jian was so angry that he clenched his fists and pounded them hard on the white wall.
God knows he asked the police to contact Wu's family and inform them of his mother's death and the time of the funeral.
While waiting here today, I feel more and more heartbroken.
I waited for three hours! Not a single member of the Wu family showed up!
It was not until the auspicious time was about to be missed that Wu Yu said he wanted his mother to rest in peace, so he had no choice but to seal the coffin without waiting.
"It is because I understand the virtues of my family that I would rather entrust my only daughter to the Zhou family, who have no blood relationship with me, than let Yuyu live with my own relatives."
Compared to Zhou Jian's anger, Meng Anran was much calmer, as if he had anticipated this scene.
Zhou Jian scratched his hair, trying to calm himself down.
He fished out a small cloth bag of ornaments and a letter from his pocket and handed it over: "Sister Wu didn't leave behind any relics, only this pair of rings and this suicide note."
Meng Anran took a look.
The suicide note was written on hospital paper, and it basically expressed gratitude to her and the Zhou family for their care during this period, and hoped to entrust Yu Yu to them in the future.
And, my best wishes to Yuyu, I hope she will be safe, happy and grow up healthily.
The pair of rings were platinum wedding rings, very simple and elegant, without any diamond embellishments.
After Wu's father passed away, Wu's mother took off his wedding ring and wore it on her left hand. From then on, she played the role of both father and mother, supporting the entire family by herself.
Now she is leaving too, leaving behind this pair of rings, the only ones of some value, as a keepsake for her children.
Meng Anran folded the suicide note and returned it to Zhou Jian, "Please keep this suicide note safe. This is Sister Wu's last words to Yuyu."
"I know." Zhou Jian stuffed the suicide note into his suit pocket. "I've already agreed with my parents. I'll take Yuyu to live in my apartment for a few days. After Wu's mother passes the seventh day after her death, I'll bring Yuyu back to the Zhou family to let her adjust. I'll then find a time to complete the adoption procedures."
No matter how much I feel sorry for Wu Yu, they are not blood relatives after all, so I always feel a little cautious.
Wu Yu's mother had just passed away and the funeral had been held, so it was not appropriate for him to visit other people's homes as it would be easy to spread bad luck.
The richer the family, the more particular they are. Besides, Old Mrs. Zhou is in poor health, and she doesn't want Wu Yu to marry into the family now, even for psychological comfort.
However, since the Zhou family was willing to let Zhou Jian, their only child, accompany Wu Yu to handle the funeral, and stay with Wu Yu outside for a few days before returning home.
It can be seen that he really feels sorry for Wu Yu.
Meng Anran took out a necklace from her bag, removed the pendant, and used only the chain to string together two platinum rings.
Then she stuffed it back into the jewelry bag and handed it to Zhou Jian, "Wait until you complete the adoption procedures for her and everything is settled, then send her to Yatang."
Zhou Jian looked at her in surprise, "You're leaving now? Why don't you go in and talk to Yuyu for a while?"
"I don't know how to comfort people, I'm relying on you."
"You have a heart of stone."
Meng Anran was about to leave when she suddenly saw several big men coming towards her in a menacing manner. When they passed by her, she suddenly had a bad premonition.
She turned around and, as expected, the group of people entered Wu's mother's auditorium.
The next second, a quarrel was heard from inside.
Meng Anran walked back quickly, and as soon as she arrived at the door of the auditorium, she saw several people surrounding Zhou Jian, accusing and scolding him.
"Who are you? You're the one who's going to get involved in my sister's funeral?"
"Oh, could it be that this is the gigolo my sister found? She's really amazing. She found a rich gigolo!"
"You have a really good appetite at such a young age! My sister is ten years older than you and has a child, and you can still eat this?"
"You're not a member of the Wu family. We haven't even seen Wu Sumei for the last time! What right do you have to seal the coffin?"
"Brothers, open the coffin! We want to see our sister for the last time!" the burly man in the lead called out.
Several people surrounded the coffin in a noisy manner, and they really looked like they were going to open it.
Zhou Jian hurried to stop them, but how could he stop a few big men doing rough work? He was not even a bit stronger than them.
"What are you doing?! You keep saying she's your sister. I told you the coffin would be sealed, but you didn't come. Now that it's sealed, you're here to make a scene. What's your intention?!"
"What's your intention?" The leading man sneered, "We want to see our sister one last time. How can you, an outsider, get involved in the affairs of our Wu family?"
"That's right! Get out of the way!"
Zhou Jianshou stood in front of the coffin. Since the coffin had been sealed, the deceased should rest in peace.
How can you force the coffin open just to see someone?
"Impossible! What on earth do you want to do?!"
"Hmph!" The man laughed maliciously. "It's okay if you don't open the coffin, but you sealed it without my permission. We didn't get to see Wu Sumei for the last time. You have to compensate us for our emotional loss!"
Zhou Jian finally understood that this group of people deliberately made trouble after the coffin was sealed, just to extort money!
Born in the Zhou family, he was used to the intrigues and deceptions in the business world, but he had never seen such a rude and mean villain!
For money, he even opened his sister's coffin?
What a bunch of heartless people!
The man smiled smugly, "How about it? Either pay me or open the coffin! Your choice!"
"You wish!" Zhou Jian refused to give in at all. If he compromised, this group of people would only become more aggressive.
Wu Yu rushed over and pushed one of the men away with all her might, yelling with red eyes, "Go away! You are not allowed to hurt Mom and Brother Zhou Jian!"
The man who was pushed stared at her fiercely, "You little bastard, stop messing around!"
As he said this, he pretended to hit Wu Yu.
At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed by. Before he could see who it was, he was kicked hard in the abdomen and flew out and hit another person.
The leading man was stunned, staring blankly at the beautiful woman in Taoist robes.
I always feel that he looks familiar, but I can't recognize who he is.
No, it must be an illusion. How could he know the Taoist nun?
After realizing this, the man immediately threw a tantrum: "They're hitting people! Everyone, come and see! Not only did these people move my sister's coffin without permission, they also beat us up!"
The noise here was so loud that many people came over to see what was going on.
Suddenly, a cold laugh abruptly interrupted his pig-slaughtering screams.
He looked over.
A young man in a white shirt leaned against the door, holding up his phone. He said calmly, "Don't worry, I've recorded everything. I'll post it online later so everyone on the internet can give you justice."
