The sky, which had been gloomy for a long time, finally began to drizzle.
In the quiet and solemn cemetery, there are dozens of black umbrellas of various sizes.
Every raindrop that fell on the umbrella flowed down and finally dripped from the edge onto the grass at everyone's feet.
No one spoke, only the pastor stood beside a tombstone and recited a prayer.
Only after the pastor closed the Bible in his hand did everyone bow their heads slightly to pay tribute to the deceased.
"What a shame, to die so young..."
"I just don't know who will take over the huge Li family business. The Li family's youngest daughter is too young to understand all these intricacies."
"Poor thing, that child is only three years old, right? He lost his parents at such a young age. The Li family is already surrounded by wolves, and in the future..."
The crackling sound of raindrops hitting the umbrella interrupted the discussion among the crowd.
On the tombstone in front of them, a black and white photo of a couple caught everyone's eye.
The Li couple were still young, and the Li Group had just started to get on track. Unexpectedly, the young couple encountered a plane crash and both died, leaving behind a three-year-old daughter.
Everyone has different thoughts in their mind, but the purpose of this trip, apart from paying their respects, is to see who will take over the huge Li family.
Just when everyone was wondering which member of the Li family would come forward to announce that he or she would take over the Li family business, they heard the person standing at the outermost edge cry out softly.
"Why is he here?"
When they heard the sound, they turned around and saw a thin but not short man in a black suit being pushed forward in a wheelchair.
Because of the umbrella, no one could see the man's face.
But this scene is not unfamiliar to them. Throughout the Beijing circle, he can intimidate others with his aura without showing his face.
There is only one man who always travels in a wheelchair.
No one expected that he would actually come. For a moment, everyone looked at the late Li couple with admiration, and some even sighed softly behind their backs.
Even this big shot has come. I'm afraid the Li family's assets will not be handed over to other people. Maybe they will be swallowed up by this big shot.
In this situation, those who want to get a piece of the pie can forget about it.
The wheelchair rolled across the lawn, leaving a trail of tracks.
Finally, the wheelchair stopped in front of the tombstone.
The man also raised his black umbrella at this time, and everyone finally saw the man's face clearly.
As the rumors said, the man was in poor health, so he looked thin, with cold and pale skin. He was extremely handsome, but because of the cold aura around him, people didn't dare to approach him easily.
Even the most powerful people in the capital who were present had rarely seen his appearance.
The man held a bouquet of white chrysanthemums in his hand and refused the bodyguard behind him who wanted to come forward and present the flowers for him.
In full view of everyone, he stood up with one hand on the armrest of the wheelchair.
The black leather shoes stepped on the rain-soaked lawn, soaking the surface of the shoes. However, the man with mysophobia did not even look at them. Instead, he walked forward steadily and placed the white chrysanthemum in his hand in front of the tombstone.
Then, everyone saw him bow ninety degrees and bow deeply to the Li couple.
Everyone was shocked and wondered what the Li couple had done in their lifetime to make this important person act like this.
But no one dared to step forward and ask.
Even the discussions just now were completely drowned out by the man's appearance.
No one dared to say anything more.
The raindrops falling from the sky became more and more dense. Even though the rain was getting heavier, no one dared to leave without permission.
Everyone is waiting.
Wait until the man who sat back in the wheelchair leaves before starting a new round of discussion.
However, before they could wait for the man to leave, another slightly hurried voice sounded outside the crowd.
"Chen Wangchen, can you walk slower? Are you the only one with long legs?"
Before everyone turned around to look at the outer circle, another deep voice was heard, "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb. Shut your mouth."
Until two more men in black suits with straight postures appeared in front of everyone. After seeing their appearance clearly, everyone came to their senses and gasped.
How come the Li family has only been around for a few years, and the three most intimidating people in the Beijing circle all showed up at this funeral?
Those villains who wanted to get a piece of the Li family's pie could not help but feel their scalps tingling. All the little schemes in their hearts disappeared at this moment, and all that was left was to retreat.
Meng Jiuan and the others seemed to have expected the man in the wheelchair to come.
The broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted Meng Jiuan lowered his eyes and glanced at the other person, his features constricted. "Why are you faster again? Are you cheating, Qin Yuanqing?"
Qin Songmo, who was named, raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at him. On his stern face, his thin lips curled up slightly, "Some things are predetermined no matter in the past or present life."
"You!" Meng Jiuan gritted his teeth. "I don't care. I just looked around and didn't see Shengyi. This time I must fight for first place."
Shen Wangchen stood aside and did not answer.
His eyes fell on the photo of the couple on the tombstone, and his thoughts wandered a little.
Before today, he had never thought that he would have an afterlife, let alone that not only himself, but even his grandfather and Meng Jiuan had memories of their past lives.
He blinked, and a gloomy expression appeared on his baby face. "We are late."
The Li couple had just been buried. If they had come earlier, perhaps the couple would not have been in trouble, and Shengyi would not have... become an orphan.
His words made Meng Jiuan suddenly quiet down.
Following his gaze towards the tombstone, Meng Jiuan saw the couple smiling heartily in the photo. His throat choked, and after a long pause, he finally spoke in a hoarse voice, "Where's Chengyi?"
No one has ever seen the youngest daughter of the Li family.
From the beginning of the funeral until now, everyone has been thinking about the Li couple and the future of the Li Group.
As for that small figure, no one had seen it.
-
The funeral was over and everyone left with different thoughts.
Qin Songmo and the other two got into their car at the same time. After the car started, it sped along the road, splashing water into the flower beds on the roadside.
Their destination is the same this time——
Li family.
The Li family is a rising star in recent years, standing out among a number of emerging industries, just like a towering building, far superior to its peers.
Even so, the Li couple did not move their home to the city center.
Three different cars stopped in front of a small Western-style building at the same time. When the car doors opened, three men with different appearances but equally outstanding looks stood in front of the small Western-style building.
The exterior walls of the small western-style building were painted milky white. The small courtyard in front was planted with roses and Chinese roses, and ivy was climbing up the side walls.
The pink swing chair is being washed by the rain at this moment, shaking from time to time, as if the hostess here is still sitting on it.
Qin Songmo withdrew his gaze, turned his head to look at Meng Jiuan and the other person beside him, and the three of them walked towards the interior of the small western-style building at the same time.
