Chapter 814 You haven't fallen in love with him, have you?
But Guo Yu's tasks go far beyond this.
As evening approached, he intercepted Mu Jin downstairs at the "Fuyang Building".
Mu Jin knew that this person was Shen Xing's mortal enemy, so she didn't have a good impression of him and didn't give him a friendly look.
He tried to take a detour without even giving him a second glance, but Guo Yu, with a grin, blocked his way in one swift step.
Mu Jin stopped abruptly, nearly bumping into Guo Yu, then quickly took two steps back, looking at him warily.
"What do you need?"
She had no connection with Guo Yu and didn't know him at all, so she hesitated when Guo Yu stopped her.
Guo Yu still had that mischievous smile on his face. He looked at Mu Jin and said, "When I first saw you, I thought you were Shen Xing's girlfriend, but then I found out you weren't. You're his team's 'support'? And you were a game streamer before?"
Mu Jin frowned, wondering what his purpose was in saying all this.
"I underestimated you. My apologies."
"Get to the point, I'm in a hurry to catch the bus," Mu Jin reminded him impatiently.
"Where are you going? I'll drive you." Guo Yu pointed to the orange sports car parked by the roadside: "A Ferrari, want to experience it?"
Mu Jin immediately rolled her eyes and turned to leave.
"Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute." Guo Yu quickly raised his hand to stop her: "I have something to do, I have something to do, ten minutes."
Mu Jin sighed impatiently and gestured with her eyes for him to spit it out.
Guo Yu chuckled inwardly. Were all the girls on Shen Xing's team like this?
How could he stand it?
"There's going to be civil war next week, can you lend a hand?" Guo Yu said.
"Huh?" Mu Jin frowned, looking like she couldn't believe she'd heard correctly. "What did you say?"
"I won't let you help for nothing." Guo Yu raised his chin and generously stated, "Name your price, I won't haggle."
"One hundred thousand!"
Guo Yu: "..."
"Can't produce it? What are you pretending for if you can't produce it?" Mu Jin sneered and turned to leave again.
Guo Yu wasn't about to give up so easily. He stopped her and said, "I'm sincerely trying to do business with you. You're asking for 100,000? Are you kidding me?"
Mu Jin looked at Guo Yu with utter contempt: "Seriously, how can you talk about this kind of shady business so grandly? This is right downstairs at the base, aren't you afraid of being caught? Can't a grown man use some more respectable methods?"
But such words have virtually no effect on someone as shameless as Guo Yu.
He chuckled dismissively: "It doesn't matter. Even if Shen Xing finds out, it doesn't matter to me. He knows what kind of person I am, and whatever I do is reasonable in his eyes."
Hearing this, Mu Jin frowned: "You haven't fallen in love with him, have you?"
Guo Yu: "?"
"Otherwise, why would you cling to him like a little devil? I can't think of any other reasonable explanation besides love turning into hate." Mu Jin glanced at Guo Yu: "To be honest, you're not bad looking. If you really had a life-or-death struggle with Shen Xing, I might be able to ship you."
"But you need to be careful to distinguish between yandere and pervert. Yandere is attractive, while pervert is disgusting. You belong to the latter right now."
Guo Yu: "..."
Finally, Mu Jin kindly reminded Guo Yu: "I think you don't need to put too much effort into our team. I've watched your team's matches, and your overall strength is not as good as Senior Guan's team. You might not even be able to beat them."
But Guo Yu replied, "I don't care if it's us or not. In the end, it doesn't have to be me, but it definitely can't be Shen Xing."
Mu Jin frowned: "Is this a case of 'if you can't have it, you'll destroy it'? That's quite something!"
Then, ignoring Guo Yu, Mu Jin slipped away.
Guo Yu was full of question marks. These days, female fans of BL (Boys' Love) are too scary, aren't they?
Bumping into everything will only hurt you!
*
Early that morning, the entire Shen family carried their belongings and went to Longyang East Mountain.
They borrowed a van from their neighbor, and together with Shen Mingming's car, they were able to fit everyone and the things they needed for the grave-sweeping ceremony.
The 20th anniversary is a big year, and we have to prepare much more things than in previous years.
Dongshan is composed of several hills, and 80% of its area has been cultivated into loquat orchards. However, there are also some graves scattered in various corners of the mountain, some of which are very old. Many orchard owners will deliberately avoid the graves.
When the old man passed away, this mountain was still covered in forests; now it's surrounded by orchards.
The family parked their car at the foot of the mountain and carried their belongings uphill. They found the burial site of the old man halfway up the mountain.
Shen Mingming cleared away the dry grass and branches around the grave, then dug a pit in front of the grave to start a fire. Everyone took turns kowtowing according to their seniority, and then threw all the gold ingots, paper money and other items into the fire pit to burn.
Finally, after everything has burned out, fill the fire pit to eliminate any remaining embers.
The old lady personally laid out the offerings and wiped the tombstone with a white cloth, and the tomb was considered cleaned.
No one showed much emotion, after all, the old man had passed away many years ago, and the annual tomb-sweeping ceremony was just a formulaic process.
On the way back, the old lady sighed, looking rather preoccupied.
Zheng Hong, sitting beside her, couldn't help but ask with concern, "What's wrong, Mom?"
The old lady shook her head and didn't say anything.
"Are you thinking that after we finish paying respects at my dad's grave, my older sister and the others will go back?" Zheng Hong asked, guessing.
These past few days, the old lady has been smiling more. Her favorite thing to do is to take Shen Jingjing out for a walk, because wherever they go, people praise her.
For elderly people of this age, especially in such a small place, the real competition comes down to their children.
The old lady sighed again and said, "I was thinking about your father. He's been buried in those mountains for so many years, it must have been so stifling for him."
Upon hearing this, Shen Chengcheng turned around and said, "You're worrying about useless things. Didn't my dad choose that place himself?"
"Twenty years ago, when your dad chose the location, it was a good spot. It was surrounded by flowers and grass, and you could see Longyang in the distance, almost as if you could see your home. Now look at it, it's all blocked by fruit trees, and you can't even see the sunlight."
"Then what should we do? You want to move his grave again?" Shen Chengcheng asked casually.
The old lady actually nodded: "Buy him a burial plot. These days, everyone believes in burial for peace. The coffin was made of bud wood, so replace it for your dad."
Upon hearing this, everyone on the bus was stunned.
Shen Chengcheng was the first to jump up and object: "Oh my god, my dad has been dead for twenty years and is buried there peacefully. Why are you making a fuss about him?"
"And do you know how expensive cemetery plots are these days? They're more expensive than houses. We living people haven't even been able to buy new houses yet, and you, you're already thinking about moving my dad's grave? You're really something."
