Chapter 949 Could it be that she's interested in him?
As soon as Qiu Yuerong said this, not only Ye Wanxi, but even Gao Min looked over.
"What's the matter?"
Qiu Yuerong pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "It's...it's a friend of mine. Her family runs a funeral home, and recently, for some reason, they've been having a lot of problems."
Gao Min gasped, realizing from the location that this matter was likely not simple.
Ye Wanxi's eyes also sharpened: "What's wrong?"
"It's just that...it's just that their funeral home has been unusually cold lately."
Gao Min frowned: "Aren't funeral homes usually colder than outside?"
Perhaps it was due to the geographical location, or perhaps it was psychological, but when her elders passed away, Gao Min went to the funeral home with her parents a few times. She always felt that the temperature inside was very different from the outside, and everything seemed a bit eerie.
“It’s different. Before, the temperature was just lower there. Now the cold is like…” Qiu Yuerong thought of a more specific way of putting it, “It’s like a rheumatism patient experiencing a thunderstorm, feeling like your bones are trembling.”
Ye Wanxi looked at her thoughtfully upon hearing this: "You've been there?"
"No, no, my friend went there and mentioned it to me when he came back."
A knowing glint flashed in Ye Wanxi's eyes. If Qiu Yuerong had really gone to that funeral home in person, she would definitely have some clues on her.
She couldn't possibly not notice someone who was right under her nose every day. It seemed that Qiu Yuerong and her friend had only spoken on the phone recently and hadn't actually met in person.
"Besides the unusually low temperature, are there any other abnormalities?"
Does that count as the people inside being particularly unlucky?
"How exactly did you have bad luck?"
Qiu Yuerong thought about it carefully: "According to Ling'er, the people working at the funeral home have been having some accidents recently. First, an aunt who was responsible for preparing the deceased's appearance suddenly fell ill and fainted, and was hospitalized. Then, several employees who were responsible for cremation were in a car accident on their way home. Although they were not in life-threatening danger, they were all injured and would not be able to go to work for a while. Then, a couple of days ago, their company's security guard slipped and fell while taking a shower at home, fracturing his arms and legs."
"In addition, the people working in the museum have also looked unwell recently."
After hearing her description, Gao Min also felt that this matter was probably not so simple, and turned to look at Ye Wanxi: "In your current physical condition, are you able to go out?"
Ye Wanxi chuckled: "I'm just feeling a bit weak lately, I'm not injured. Besides, you've been feeding me all sorts of tonics these past few days, from abalone and sea cucumber to shark fin and bird's nest to fish, I'm getting nosebleeds from all the tonics. It's just going out, what could possibly be wrong?"
Qiu Yuerong's eyes lit up slightly when she heard Ye Wanxi's words: "Sister Ye, does that mean you've agreed to help?"
"Since you've already asked, how can I not give you that face?"
Qiu Yuerong was overjoyed: "Then I'll call Ling'er in a bit."
Qiu Yuerong's friend is named Ji Yueling. It's clear that she's quite anxious too. Qiu Yuerong just called her to explain the situation, and Ji Yueling was overjoyed. She immediately expressed her hope that Ye Wanxi could come over as soon as possible if she had time.
After discussing it, the group decided to go and take a look the next morning.
The next morning, just as Ye Wanxi and the others were about to set off, Feng Tianyu happened to arrive. Seeing them preparing to leave, he was somewhat surprised: "Where are you going?"
"Something happened to a friend of Yue Rong's, so we're going over to check on her." Ye Wanxi's gaze fell on the thermos in Feng Tianyu's hand, and she asked with a smile, "What delicious food did Auntie cook for me today?"
"I've made crucian carp soup," Feng Tianyu said, handing the thermos to Ye Wanxi. "I'll go with you."
Upon hearing this, Gao Min's ears perked up instantly: "President Feng doesn't have to come to work today?"
Feng Tianyu glanced at her and said matter-of-factly, "Today I'm just an ordinary deliveryman and bodyguard."
The subtext is that his only tasks today are delivering food and acting as someone's protector.
Gao Min: "Hiss~" This guy is getting more and more shameless!
And just like that, the original team of three suddenly expanded into a team of four.
Funeral homes are usually located in remote areas, at least some distance from residential areas.
It took Feng Tianyu some time to transport the group to the designated location, and it was almost noon by the time they arrived.
Knowing that the group was coming, Ji Yueling had been waiting outside for a long time. When she saw them get out of the car, her eyes lit up and she went to greet them.
Even so, Ji Yueling was still stunned when she saw Fengtian Domain.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
"No, no, I just came out myself. Let me introduce myself, I'm Ji Yueling, a friend of Yuerong. Yuerong has probably already told you about the situation here, and your presence today has been a great help."
"Miss Ji, you're too kind. We just came to take a look and may not be able to help."
"Miss Ye, you are too modest. I am already very grateful that you came."
This Miss Ji has a pretty, delicate face with rounded features, paired with long, straight, jet-black hair, making her look like a traditional, well-behaved girl.
When those clear, dark eyes gaze at you, they always give you a particularly sincere feeling.
Ye Wanxi and the others did not exchange pleasantries with her for long before entering the funeral home with her.
This funeral home occupies a considerable area and is fully functional, not only for preparing the body, cremation, and holding farewell ceremonies, but also for having a four-story building specifically for storing ashes.
In addition, the funeral home even leased a mountain behind it to use as a cemetery, truly offering a one-stop service.
Although Ji Yueling wasn't a staff member at the funeral home, it seemed like all the employees there knew her, and many people greeted her warmly along the way.
Ye Wanxi's gaze swept across the faces of these people, her expression growing increasingly serious.
As Ji Yueling led Ye Wanxi and the others inside, she explained the layout of the funeral home to them.
However, as she spoke, her eyes unconsciously drifted towards Ye Wanxi and Feng Tianyu, her eyes filled with unmistakable joy and excitement.
Gao Min was the first to notice this, and spontaneously ignored the way the other person's gaze fell on Ye Wanxi, only feeling that this girl was peeking at Feng Tianyu a lot.
My heart skipped a beat. I wondered to myself, could this Miss Ji be interested in someone?
Although she didn't have a good impression of the man who had stolen her man, it didn't mean she wanted to see other women stealing her man away.
"Does Miss Ji know President Feng?"
As soon as Gao Min said this, everyone stopped in their tracks, and Ye Wanxi and the others immediately turned their gazes to Ji Yueling.
Ji Yueling was stunned for a moment, and a blush immediately rose on her face as if she had been caught red-handed.
