Chapter 483 Watching
Sheng Huaian had his back to her, and his tall and straight figure looked particularly lonely in the solemn atmosphere of the mourning hall.
One step away from him, Jiang Zhiyue stopped.
White elegiac couplets fluttered in the wind around it, and Mr. Sheng's portrait was placed in the center. He looked kind in the photo.
The funeral will be held at Xiushan Funeral Home three days later. It will be as big as a stadium and is specially designed for top dignitaries. The scene will be so grand that it is beyond imagination.
There were staff members on both sides, and no one dared to disturb Sheng Huaian until Sheng Huaian slowly turned around and opened his arms.
Jiang Zhiyue stepped forward and hugged his slender waist. She could feel the warmth from him even through the high-quality fabric. He hugged her tightly, his long arms around her shoulders and neck. He lowered his head and naturally pressed his cheek against her hair.
"Don't comfort me, I really don't feel very sad."
Jiang Zhiyue raised her head and said, "Who said I wanted to comfort you?"
She just felt that until this moment, something had finally been changed in the dark.
Mr. Sheng's sudden death from a myocardial infarction caused quite a stir among the powerful.
No one had expected that the man in charge of the Sheng family, who had enjoyed great prosperity for most of his life, would end up like this. More people who were ready to make a move set their sights on the funeral three days later, when dignitaries from various countries would visit.
The Sheng family is in a precarious situation, with only these two young people left. Can they shoulder the burden of the family? This will affect everyone's next decision. Who should they support to maximize their interests?
Sheng Huaian sent funeral invitations to Mr. Sheng's former subordinates who lived far away in North Siri Province. Even Mrs. Sheng received an invitation letter dropped by helicopter.
This move is nothing more than putting Sheng Hui and others under the fire. How will others view a person who always claims to create a new country but doesn't even dare to attend the funeral of his own father?
If Sheng Hui really comes and Sheng Huaian sets a tight net, how can they escape?
The death of Mr. Sheng at this time is an inevitable result!
The ending that Sheng Huaian prepared for him.
"Have you seen the guest list I gave you?" The man's eyelids drooped. His smoky gray hair had been carefully groomed to return to its classic black color. The strange earrings on his ear bones were also removed. His handsome face, which originally had a bit of a prodigal air, was now made to look particularly heroic by his neatly trimmed sideburns.
Jiang Zhiyue was a little uncomfortable when she suddenly saw his serious look. Her gaze stayed on him for a few seconds longer. Sheng Huaian lowered his head. He hugged her too tightly and she couldn't help but reach out and tug at the hem of his clothes.
Such hugs and interactions are just like the most common scenes between siblings.
Occasionally, some staff members cast curious glances at her. Jiang Zhiyue tugged at his clothes again. Sheng Huaian couldn't help but smile, let go of her hand, and rubbed her head.
When other people saw this scene, they could only sincerely admire: "What a good relationship."
Indeed, for Sheng Huaian, he has a family he can rely on wholeheartedly, who will not betray him and are not forced upon him by conspiracy.
He accepted it from the bottom of his heart.
According to some secret rumors in the Sheng family, after Jiang Wanrou went missing, Mrs. Sheng proposed to adopt another daughter, but this was strongly opposed by Sheng Cheng.
Although they were not successful, Mr. and Mrs. Sheng adhered to the principle of doing good and accumulating virtue, and when they participated in public welfare and charity activities, they adopted a lucky child from the welfare home as their goddaughter.
However, the Sheng family has many branches, and it is impossible to let outsiders divide up the family property. Even if someone wants to replace Jiang Wanrou, they will never allow outsiders to infringe on the interests of the Sheng family.
Later, the goddaughter unfortunately died young, leaving behind a daughter. Old Madam Sheng gave the girl the surname Sheng and originally planned to package her up and send her to Monterey Park for marriage.
For some reason, the girl's last whereabouts were in New Myanmar Lanzhou, and she was sent back by Sheng Huaian.
No matter who they were, he did not regard them as family members or siblings. Only Jiang Zhiyue's call of "brother" deeply touched his heart.
Sheng Huaian felt extremely fortunate, and he hid all his emotions deep in his heart without reservation until he met the right person.
In fact, he didn't want to reveal too much of the past to Jiang Zhiyue, because the more she knew, the more unfair she would feel.
He just introduced the guests on the list to Jiang Zhiyue one by one, "This Mr. Wang is the military representative of Beixili State. You can think of Beixili State as the base camp of our Sheng family. It is crucial to win his support. I think we have already succeeded halfway."
"Don't blame me for not telling you what I did. If I really told you, you probably wouldn't want to know." Sheng Huaian seemed to understand Jiang Zhiyue's eyes and smiled, "Zhiyue, you've done a good job. Leave the rest to me."
"You just need to complete one task. With your outstanding eloquence, you can give a speech at the funeral and win for yourself..." As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing. He ruffled her hair and said, "Win more support for us."
Jiang Zhiyue nodded in response, Sheng Huaian smiled slightly, and with both hands he straightened the girl's shoulders, guiding her to slowly turn around and look at a certain place.
"I heard that Qin Si went to see you last night and left this morning?"
Jiang Zhiyue's eyelashes were trembling rapidly. Her long, slender and curled eyelashes looked like a butterfly fluttering its wings from Sheng Huaian's perspective, waiting for the day when they would spread their wings and fly high.
Qin Si was a bit intense last night. His eyes, expression, and body were all eager for her. The messy bed, the wrinkled sheets, the skirt that was taken off, the casually discarded underwear...
Fortunately, she still had some sense and pushed him away at the critical moment.
Qin Si hugged her and fell into a deep sleep, enjoying a rare peaceful sleep.
"Tell me about Lin Jun's case. Jun Yue followed the clues and dug up many clues of the Lin and Chu families' crimes. He also discovered a factory controlled by Old Lady Sheng. He has been investigating these matters for the past few months."
After thinking for a moment, Sheng Huaian said, "I didn't intend to tell you at first, but after careful consideration, I realized that this is a bit unfair to Jun Yue. He betrayed his family for you."
Isn't it that the Chu family's second branch's absurd behavior is also discrediting the first branch?
Judging yourself and overthrowing yourself are often the most difficult things in the world.
"The day Qin Si sent you away from the hospital, Jun Yue asked me not to tell you about this."
He put his arm around the girl's shoulders and made her face the man.
Chu Junyue's broad shoulders and narrow waist made him extremely eye-catching. He didn't expect Jiang Zhiyue to turn around suddenly.
Maybe, probably, while Jiang Zhiyue was silently watching Sheng Huaian from behind, he was also silently watching her from behind.
