The weather was gloomy before I went out.
As the group arrived at the cemetery, the weather gradually cleared up.
The sky was azure, dotted with fluffy white clouds; it was the best day of the day in recent days.
Leaning lazily against Fu Yanci's chest, Ye Li gazed absently at the white clouds before her.
When she heard voices, Ye Li turned around and saw Li Xueqing and Aunt Lan supporting each other as they walked out of the cemetery.
"mom……"
Ye Li straightened up and went to greet her.
Seeing that Ye Li hadn't left and that her eyes were even more swollen than hers, she realized that Ye Li's eyes were even more swollen than hers.
Li Xueqing shook her head with a smile, then looked at Fu Yanci with a reproachful look in her eyes, "Ali is disobedient, and you just let her have her way!"
"Mom, don't you know Ali's personality?"
Fu Yanci said indulgently, "If I don't let her have her way, she might flood my car."
Li Xueqing, who was already smiling, softened her smile even more.
Looking at Fu Yanci, then at Ye Li, Li Xueqing changed her mind before she could finish her sentence, "Let's go home!"
"mom……"
Fu Yanci spoke up, "When Dad passed away, you were sick and Ali was busy, so the funeral was kept simple. Now that you're better, it just so happens that we're here to pay our respects to Dad today. I took the liberty of holding a memorial service for Dad at the funeral home. Let's go over there."
"Dislike of words!"
Li Xueqing gasped in surprise, her emotions, which she had finally managed to calm down, becoming agitated once again.
Ye Li also suddenly turned around.
It seemed that only now did they realize why there had been such a grand display before their arrival.
She and her mother were completely unaware of the situation from beginning to end.
"Ah Li, don't cry..."
Seeing that the girl was about to cry again, Fu Yanci raised his hand and rubbed her head. "Didn't you tell me to behave well?"
I want to say that you've always done a great job.
But her throat was so tight, and she was afraid that if she opened her mouth, it would only sound like she was crying, so Ye Li nodded and remained silent.
The group went straight to the funeral home.
Before they even reached the door, Li Xueqing and Ye Li both slowed down.
They initially thought it was just the few of them, but judging from the commotion in the hall, it seemed that others had arrived.
When they reached the door, the mother and daughter looked at each other and stopped simultaneously.
If last night the rooftop restaurant at the Yunjing Hotel was filled with most of Beijing's elite, then today, it's as if almost the entire elite community of Beijing has come out in force.
Only the ancestors of Madam Fu's generation did not show up.
Everyone else, whether they were relatives or friends of the Ye family, or clients and business partners of the Ye Group, or even those who only knew of Ye Mushen but had never met him, all came.
At first glance, it was a dark, oppressive mass.
The solemnity was accentuated by the surrounding white mourning couplets.
"Madam Ye has arrived!"
"May Mr. Ye rest in peace! Madam Ye, please accept our deepest condolences!"
"..."
A moment of silence was observed, followed by a eulogy and a thank-you speech.
The memorial service proceeded smoothly.
Throughout the entire process, Fu Yanci stood beside Ye Li, bowing along with her whenever someone approached.
At the back of the crowd, Fu Minghui glared at Li Xueqing, then looked at Fu Yanci, her teeth aching with hatred.
That's her own brother!
He didn't give her any prior notice for her birthday; she had to beg him in a humble manner before he would even show up.
Yet, for a memorial service for a dead person, he made phone calls and personally arranged everything, as if the person who died was not Ye Mushen, but his own father.
When her gaze fell on Ye Li, Fu Minghui's eyes were filled with resentment and venom.
If it weren't for her, her son wouldn't be living such a decadent life, constantly ridiculed and mocked.
If it weren't for her, Fu Yanci wouldn't have been so ruthless.
Beauty can be a curse!
It's all because of her!!!
