Chapter 144 Funeral

The next morning, when Lin Shutang woke up, Li Yansheng was no longer by his side.

The aunt in the villa knocked on the door with electric mosquito repellent liquid, saying that Li Yansheng had asked her to light some before he left.

After putting the mosquito coils in place, I went downstairs and saw Lin Shutang standing at the door of the living room. Auntie said, "Miss Lin, are you going out?"

Lin Shutang did not answer, but asked: "Where is the master?"

"The gentleman went to the Li family's old house first. Before he left, he asked you to wait here and said he would send someone to pick you up."

"good."

Most businessmen believe in that kind of thing, and the Li family is no exception. The time of Mr. Li's burial is at 1:30 in the afternoon.

At twelve o'clock noon, Fan Sizhu came to pick up Lin Shutang.

Lin Shutang was about to get in the car when he remembered something and ran back to the living room to pick up the things on the table.

The cemetery for burial is halfway up the mountain. The car can no longer access the mountain once it reaches the foot of the mountain, so people have to walk the rest of the way up.

Li Yansheng, the eldest grandson, walked in front, holding the urn. Lin Shutang followed behind, walking in the middle of the crowd.

When taking a break halfway, Li Yansheng turned around and looked back, and his eyes locked on a slender figure in the crowd.

When Li Yansheng looked over, he saw her face flushed and she raised her hands to block the sun.

So he waved, called his assistant, and said something in his ear.

They set off again, and after walking a few steps, Fan Sizhu brought Lin Shutang a sun hat.

She took it and glanced at the hat in her hand. It was black and not a very eye-catching style, but she still asked, "Is it not good?"

Fan Sizhuo: "It's the boss's order, don't worry."

Lin Shutang looked up at the front of the crowd. Li Yansheng was walking in front with his back to them. The moment she looked over, as if sensing something, he glanced back. Their eyes met briefly, then parted. Lin Shutang looked around and saw that many people were wearing hats. Without further hesitation, she put the hat on her head and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

The funeral was on a very tight schedule, and everyone arrived at their destination a few minutes before one.

Seeing that there were several large pine trees nearby, Lin Shutang stood under one of the trees to seek shade.

After finishing the things at hand, Li Yansheng looked for a familiar figure in the crowd. Finally, he found the beautiful figure under the tree and walked over.

Seeing that Lin Shutang's face was still flushed, Li Yansheng raised his hand to test the temperature of her forehead and asked with concern: "Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

Li Yansheng's actions did not mean that he was avoiding the crowd. Many people present had been paying attention to him. Seeing that he cared so much about a girl, they couldn't help but feel curious. They all guessed in their hearts which family's jewel this was and who had won the favor of the Li family's boss.

Some people who had been keeping an eye on Li Yansheng's marriage also noticed this scene, and their eyes turned towards Lin Shutang, and they instantly became a little sharp. Feeling these gazes, Lin Shutang slightly turned sideways, using Li Yansheng's body to shield himself.

Li Yansheng noticed her uneasiness and took another half step to the right, completely isolating her from those gazes.

Lin Shutang then looked up at him and answered his previous question: "No."

After she finished speaking, she glanced around to make sure no one was looking, then handed the small box in her hand to Li Yansheng. Inside was a small piece of cake and a few chocolates. She had brought it with her when she went out, thinking that Li Yansheng might be too busy to eat, so she brought it with her.

Li Yansheng watched her open the box, but he didn't show any intention to take it. Lin Shutang's hand just stopped in mid-air. She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

He thought to himself that his actions were indeed a bit stupid. He must have eaten something in the car just now.
