Chen Jiayi turned around and saw a handsome man.
She was somewhat surprised because the other person looked somewhat similar to Shen Jialiang.
Shen Huiyang wore a gentle smile, but a faint sadness was hidden in his eyes.
"I never expected this to happen to the two elders. Everything is ready here, and the funeral can be held at daybreak."
Lan Meixuan wiped away her tears, her voice hoarse.
"Huiyang, thank you."
Shen Huiyang stared at the black and white photos of the two elders, feeling very distressed.
“To me, my parents were more like my own parents. I was devastated when I learned of their passing. But more importantly, I want them to be buried today.”
Lan Meixuan nodded and gave a weary "hmm".
"You're right, we should be able to leave soon."
She sighed deeply, her mind still in turmoil.
While Lan Meixuan was lost in thought, Chen Qiming appeared.
He flew over in a private plane and just made it.
A large group of people set off for the funeral...
Many people from the academic community in Beicheng came to pay their respects, while those who arrived late laid to rest on the roadside.
Looking at so many people, Chen Jiayi felt a little dazed.
My maternal grandfather was a renowned calligrapher. He should have been enjoying his retirement at home, not being killed on a train over a few dozen yuan.
Only after watching the coffin being lowered into the ground did Chen Jiayi truly realize that her grandparents had really left her.
She's only been back for a short time and isn't very familiar with her grandparents yet...
Chen Jiayi shed tears and cried silently.
She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, too distressed to speak.
Everyone present was deeply mourning the two elders.
After the burial, people offer incense and prayers. Once the whole process is complete, the group slowly leaves.
When Chen Jiayi returned to her grandparents' house, she found it so crowded that there was barely enough room to stand.
She tried to squeeze in, but couldn't.
Even though Shen Huiyang had already rented the adjacent courtyard in advance, it still wasn't enough.
There were just too many people!
Chen Jiayi didn't know how she got separated from her parents, and for a moment she didn't know how to squeeze in.
Suddenly someone reached out and patted her on the shoulder.
Chen Jiayi turned around and saw Shen Huiyang.
Shen Huiyang's expression was indifferent. "Come with me."
Chen Jiayi hesitated for a moment, unsure where Shen Huiyang was taking her... but she still followed him.
Shen Huiyang took Chen Jiayi for a walk and then returned to her grandparents' house from the back.
Chen Jiayi's lips twitched as she watched the man in front of her expressionlessly dust himself off.
She stared at the dog hole, somewhat questioning the meaning of life.
I haven't crawled through a dog hole since I grew up.
Now, when we go back to my maternal grandparents' house, we have to crawl through a dog hole...
Seeing that Chen Jiayi had no other expression, Shen Huiyang became more at ease.
“You should have come back two days earlier. There are too many people here to mourn your parents now.”
If we come back two days earlier and people arrive in batches, we can still accommodate everyone here.
"I was so busy tracking down the murderer in Haicheng those few days that I didn't even realize my grandparents had really passed away..."
Chen Jiayi still feels completely dazed.
Shen Huiyang glanced at Chen Jiayi and remained silent.
He also felt very dazed, even though the two elders had told him with smiles before they left that they had found their granddaughter.
It was the first time Shen Huiyang had seen his stern teacher smile so kindly, and he was smiling so happily.
He said his daughter and son-in-law had found their lost granddaughter, and he and his wife bought tickets to travel overnight to Haicheng to see her.
Upon learning of the two elders' deaths, Shen Huiyang's first reaction was disbelief.
He then couldn't help but blame this "granddaughter" he had never met.
If it weren't for her, the teacher and his wife wouldn't have died...
But after Shen Huiyang calmed down, he realized that she couldn't be blamed for this.
The two chatted for a while, and Chen Jiayi couldn't stop her tears from falling.
She wiped away her tears, and when she saw her mother, she couldn't help but hug her and cry.
Chen Jiayi wished she could tear the person who killed her grandparents to pieces...
The hatred for Ding Haowen is far less than the hatred for the murderer.
.
Ding Haowen, looking travel-worn, suddenly sneezed.
He stared at the old-fashioned architecture of the northern city, a look of disdain in his eyes.
This place isn't as bustling as Haicheng.
Ding Haowen first went to find a hotel to stay in.
He took a shower, tidied himself up, and then leisurely went to the police station in the north of the city.
When Ding Haowen arrived at the police station and saw his daughter, he was incredulous.
"clove?"
The little girl huddled trembling behind a couple. When she heard someone call her name, she instinctively shrank back and hid.
Ding Haowen looked at the emaciated Dingxiang in front of him. Seeing how frightened she was, he immediately questioned her.
"How did you take care of my daughter?"
The woman in front of him felt uncomfortable, but he still patiently explained to her.
“Comrade, when we rescued Dingxiang, her condition was much more serious. You came all this way to take her back, Xiangxiang, so you must love her too.”
Looking at the woman speaking gently, Ding Haowen's expression softened somewhat.
"I'm sorry, I was a little anxious when I saw my daughter who had been missing for a long time."
Zhang Jia smiled and said, "It's alright. Let me tell you about Xiangxiang's condition."
After their conversation, Ding Haowen inadvertently learned the other person's identity, which greatly surprised him.
To everyone's surprise, the other party was a soldier. By chance, Dingxiang was rescued when the criminal gang's hideout was destroyed.
Because Dingxiang was a girl, she had never been sold.
