Jiang Chengkai was stunned when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "...Are you in such a hurry? Didn't you say that the murderer hasn't been caught yet? Why are you arranging the burial so soon?"
Jiang Chengyue shook his head and replied, "Don't mention the murderer. You don't know that ever since the rumor came out that the murderer was a little boy, people outside have been saying very bad things about him..."
"Some people said that Wu Zhuo was killed by his illegitimate son, saying that the murderer was actually a bastard born from her former love affair. Wu Zhuo herself did not know who the father of the child was, so she kept the child secret and raised him outside. The child was filled with hatred and killed Wu Zhuo."
"Some people also said that Wu Zhuo was a pervert with a special fetish. She liked little boys and liked to torture them in bed. As a result, the little boy couldn't bear the humiliation and killed Wu Zhuo while she was asleep."
Jiang Chengkai: “…”
Jiang Chengkai was surprised when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "This... Can the Wu family tolerate this? Why don't they come up with evidence to clarify? Just let others slander Wu Zhuo's reputation?"
Jiang Chengyue sneered and replied, "How to clarify? The Wu family asked the nanny who was with Wu Zhuo at the time. According to the nanny, Wu Zhuo wanted the little boy to cause trouble at the opening ceremony today because he was targeting Director Xia of the Construction Department."
"You also know that Wu Zhuo and Director Xia's daughter have some problems. Now Director Xia holds an important position and is highly regarded by the senior leaders above. How dare the Wu family clarify this matter?"
"Zuo Yu is just a daughter who has been to prison and has lost her marriage value. It would be better to bury her early and put an end to it all."
Jiang Chengyue sighed again and continued, "Before I came back, I saw a big farce. Wu Jiali held Wu Zhuo's body and stopped the cremation. She cried and made a fuss, asking Wu Xiu'er to avenge Wu Zhuo first. In the end, she was slapped hard by Wu Xiu'er."
"Wu Xiu pointed at Wu Jiali's nose and scolded her, saying that it was because of her that Wu Zhuo was allowed to act recklessly, which was what harmed Wu Zhuo. The brother and sister started quarreling, and Wu Yu and I couldn't stop them even if we wanted to."
Jiang Chengkai didn't comment and asked, "Then why did you come back? Why didn't you stay at the Wu family to help? You and Wu Yu are getting married soon, and you have to pretend to be at the Wu family's side to take care of Wu Zhuo's funeral."
"Pretending?" Jiang Chengyue sneered and said in a mocking tone, "Why should I pretend? The Wu family members themselves are too lazy to pretend. Especially that Wu Xiu'er, who usually pretends to love his daughter, but now that his daughter is gone, he doesn't even want to hold a funeral..."
Wu Zhuo was, after all, the eldest daughter of the Wu family, who was held in the palm of their hands. But ever since she went to prison and lost her value for marriage, she suddenly became an abandoned child of the Wu family.
Wu Xiu'er forbade her to attend any public events and only asked her to stay in the villa. If she had not been isolated and helpless, Wu Zhuo would not have come up with such a childish way to retaliate against Xia Shige this time.
Even now that she has passed away, the Wu family does not want to spend too much time and energy, and just plans to cremate and bury her hastily.
The Wu family is heartless, as can be seen from this incident.
Jiang Chengkai didn't comment and changed the subject: "By the way, have you settled your aunt? My uncle just asked me about it. He said that my aunt is not in good health and he is worried that she will not be used to the food and accommodation."
Jiang Chengyue replied, "Don't worry, uncle. I have someone buy a villa with the best view in the city for aunt. I have also arranged six nannies to take care of her food and daily life. The villa is equipped with ten bodyguards, so there is no need to worry about safety."
After that, she pursed her lips and smiled foolishly, jokingly saying, "I really didn't expect it. My cousin is such an icy-faced, unkind, and stubborn old man. I thought he would end up living alone for the rest of his life..."
"I didn't expect that he actually married a wife who is more than ten years younger than him. He is so attentive to this wife that he personally takes care of her food, clothing, housing and transportation. No wonder others say that old houses are the most dangerous to catch fire. I have seen this now, hahaha..."
Jiang Chengkai also smiled and said, "My uncle and aunt have just been married for a while, and they are in their prime. My aunt is the daughter of the Xu family in Kyoto, so it's normal for my uncle to like her."
When Jiang Chengyue heard the word "Xu family", he seemed to suddenly think of something and said, "Speaking of the Xu family in Kyoto... I remember that the Xu family also had a daughter who married the Lu family, who is engaged in the tourism industry here. The Lu family is bankrupt now, and I guess she is not doing well. Why don't we take them over so that our aunt and sisters can be reunited."
