"Sister?" Wen Ge asked again when Wen Yi didn't respond, "Should I call Dad or Mom over?"
Wen Yi composed herself and said, "No need. Since you're busy, then go ahead and do your thing."
Wen hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
Standing behind, Xiao Kongkong could basically determine from Wen Yi's words what Wen Yi was talking about with his family.
Xiao Kongkong really didn't know what words to use to comfort him.
She could understand it, yet she couldn't quite understand it.
Xiao Kongkong's parents died early. When her parents were alive, they only loved her older sister and neglected her. However, although her parents favored her older sister, Xiao Kongkong had everything her older sister had. She was not as inhuman as Wen Yi.
“Second Madam,” Xiao Kongkong stepped forward, “if there’s no other way, I can contact Second Master.”
"No need, the remains of the two elderly people can already be claimed."
Luo Yi's voice came from the end of the corridor. He walked towards Wen Yi with a sullen face and said, "Second Master has made arrangements. Second Madam, please wait at the door."
Wen Yi was quite surprised.
After getting off the plane, she didn't talk much with her second uncle. She was thinking about her grandparents in the hospital morgue and took a taxi to the hospital.
I hadn't even asked about it, but I didn't expect him to have already made the arrangements.
Wen Yi didn't know what emotions she was feeling, but she didn't have the energy to care about them. All she wanted to do was take her grandparents away from the hospital and not let them end up as nameless urns in the crematorium.
Wen Yi and Xiao Kongkong walked outside.
A large van was parked outside the hospital. The bodies of my grandparents had already been placed in two coffins, and staff were loading them into the van.
Wen Yi stood silently at the door, showing no intention of getting into the car.
The black Rolls-Royce stopped in front of Wen Yi, and the rear window slowly rolled down, revealing the masked face of Second Master Gu.
"Get in the car," the man said.
Wen frowned, her gaze lingering on the van.
She secretly wanted to be with her maternal grandparents.
Gu Huaixu saw through her thoughts and didn't indulge her. He reminded her again, "Get in the car."
Wen Yi remained unmoved.
The two coffins had already been loaded, and Wen Yi instinctively reached out to them, but Gu Huaixu opened the car door and blocked her way.
"Second Master Gu, thank you for your kindness, but I would like to see my grandparents off on their journey." Wen Yi was grateful for the arrangement and was also explaining her feelings at this moment.
Gu Huaixu showed no intention of letting them go. He leaned against the car door with one hand and sneered, "They have a daughter and a son-in-law. It's not your place, granddaughter, to see them off alone."
They are holding a banquet in…
Wen Yi was too embarrassed to say it aloud.
But after meeting Gu Huaixu's meaningful gaze, Wen Yi suddenly seemed to realize something and stared into Gu Huaixu's eyes.
By this point, Gu Huaixu didn't need to say anything more; Wen Yi understood on her own.
"Thank you, Second Master," Wen Yi said.
Gu Huaixu turned and got into the car, and Wen Yi followed him in, closing the car door behind him.
"The Wen family," Gu Huaixu commanded.
Upon receiving the order, Luo Yi led a convoy of vehicles, starting with a Rolls-Royce, followed by a van carrying the coffin, and then several other vehicles for protection, slowly making its way to the Wen family's residence.
The Wen family home was brightly lit at this time.
The Wen family hadn't held such a lively banquet in a long time, and all the guests were from the Gu family. This was important because it concerned whether Wen Ge could reconnect with Gu Zeyu in the future. Naturally, this banquet was crucial for the Wen family.
The Wen family even spent time and money preparing for this banquet a few days ago. While it may not be as lavish as those of wealthy and powerful families, it is certainly among the top-tier luxury banquets.
When Wen Yi's car arrived, it could be seen that the Wen family villa was brightly lit and bustling with countless luxury cars outside.
From the floor-to-ceiling windows on the first floor, one can see the lavish and lively banquet scene in the living room.
Wen's parents and Wen Ge, dressed in gorgeous gowns and adorned with jewels, held wine glasses and chatted happily with the guests.
She has such a bright smile.
Wen looked up and saw the car behind her through the rearview mirror, where the vehicle carrying her grandparents' bodies was located.
In comparison, my maternal grandparents looked quite miserable.
Moreover, the Wen family concealed the deaths of the maternal grandparents. If Wen Yi hadn't asked Xiao Kongkong to help investigate, the grandparents would have been cremated at this time tonight without their knowledge, becoming unclaimed urns at the crematorium.
It's truly laughable.
Wen Yi turned her gaze away from the Wen family villa and looked at the man beside her. "Second Master, can I borrow a few people?"
Gu Huaixu raised an eyebrow slightly, knowing the gist of Wen Yi's purpose, and nodded slightly.
"Do you need me to come with you?"
"Thank you, but I think I don't need it for now," Wen Yi politely declined.
Gu Huaixu shrugged and didn't say anything more.
Wen Yi nodded gratefully, then opened the car door and got out.
Master Gu gave her nearly twenty men, more than enough to carry two coffins.
Wen Yi, along with Luo Yi, communicated, saying, "After I make the call, the coffin can be brought in."
As Wen Yi spoke, she couldn't help but glance at the back of the van.
The two officers sat side by side inside the carriage, quiet and still, carrying a sense of unspoken desolation.
Wen Yi felt a pang of sadness and thought that her grandparents probably never imagined that they would encounter such a thing before they died.
Wen stepped forward and reached out to touch his grandparents' coffins. His throat was dry and bitter, and when his blood rushed to his head, his throat tasted of rusty blood.
Wen Yi pursed her lips and held back, then walked towards the Wen family's residence.
Luo Yi stood there, arranging the follow-up matters, and couldn't help but look at Wen Yi's back. Xiao Kongkong happened to be next to him, and Luo Yi casually remarked, "This woman is so cold, she doesn't shed a single tear."
Whether it was when Gu Huaixu 'died' or now when her closest grandparents are going through this, she hasn't shed a single tear.
Luo Yi had never even seen someone with red eyes.
Faced with Luo Yi's complaints, Xiao Kongkong just looked at Wen Yi's back and a bitter smile appeared on his lips.
“I remember there was a news story last month.”
"What?"
"Someone rushed into a male dormitory and stabbed a college student in the stomach. The knife went in and came out in the same spot. There was a wound, but no blood was drawn."
Xiao Kongkong looked at Luo Yi, "Everyone thought this boy was lucky, or rather, had a strong life. But the next day, this boy died in bed. His wounds still didn't bleed, but when he was sent to the hospital, his internal organs were filled with blood and had rotted through. He couldn't be saved."
Luo Yi frowned, analyzing the purpose of Xiao Kongkong's sudden retelling of this story.
"Some things look perfectly fine, but who knows how rotten they are inside?"
Xiao Kongkong sighed, then started walking to catch up with Wen Yi.
“Second Madam, I’ll accompany you,” Xiao Kongkong said, standing beside Wen Yi.
Wen Yi turned around and glanced at him. "Thank you."
"This is what we should do."
