Chapter 104 The Funeral
Cai Hong nodded with tears in her eyes: "Okay, our Guanqun will definitely be a big star in the future."
The forensic doctor issued a notice the next day, and Song Yilin and her mother-in-law immediately went to the police station.
The police only told Song Yilin about the case: "It is basically confirmed that the head injury was not enough to kill the old lady. The examination has revealed that the old lady took a large amount of antihypertensive drugs."
"Wait a minute, although the old lady is old, she doesn't have high blood pressure. She usually has low blood pressure, and no one in our family has high blood pressure. We don't keep any high blood pressure medication at home, so there's no possibility that she accidentally ingested it."
The police initially thought it was just a normal case of an elderly person falling and dying, but after hearing what Song Yilin said, they also felt something was wrong and immediately went to interrogate Bai Menglan.
A short while later, the police came over and questioned her again: "You said no one in your family has high blood pressure, so what's wrong with your mother-in-law?"
“My mother-in-law has underlying health conditions, including diabetes, which led to kidney failure. However, she does not have high blood pressure. We are very particular about the food we eat, so none of us in the family have high blood pressure.”
The policeman got the answer he wanted and left.
Song Yilin waited anxiously, but remained calm and told her mother-in-law, "It's okay, the police will have results soon."
Even by evening, the police still hadn't released any results, so Xu Qingmin had someone bring them food.
"Qingmin, how is Guanqun at home?"
“It’s okay. Xu Yijing is staying home with her. I saw that she was in a bad mood, so I didn’t let her go to school.”
Bai Guanqun has already started school. This semester, in order to be able to film in her spare time, she studies very hard every day of the week.
She probably wouldn't be in the mood to study if she went to school now, so staying at home is better.
Xu Qingmin opened a copy for his mother-in-law and then opened one for Song Yilin: "Eat first. It's probably quite complicated. The police will notify you when there are results."
It wasn't until midnight that the police officer, who had been interrogating the old lady all day, approached them with dark circles under his eyes: "Ms. Song, Ms. Bai Menglan has confessed that she has been living near your home for some time, cooking for the old lady, coaxing her to make a will, and then giving her an overdose of stress-relieving medication for several days in a row."
Was her motive to want the house?
"yes."
In fact, Song Yilin had already guessed it. The old lady had been going out for a long time and hadn't come back. The old lady didn't dare to tell them that she was going to find Bai Menglan.
Bai Menglan had cheated the old lady out of money before, so Song Yilin always kicked Bai Menglan out whenever she came.
Song Yilin didn't want the old lady to meet Bai Menglan alone either, because if she did, she definitely wouldn't have any money left.
Therefore, Song Yilin had always opposed the old lady meeting Bai Menglan.
She's been secretly seeing him lately, probably because she knows Bai Guanqun isn't her biological daughter and wants to find some blood ties with her.
Song Yilin felt a sense of helplessness.
It was as if an invisible hand was leading her towards tragedy.
She fought on and on, but just when things started to look up, new problems would arise, forcing her to believe in metaphysics.
Let the old lady rest in peace.
After the forensic team finished preparing the old lady's appearance, they transported her to the funeral home. Song Yilin emphasized to everyone, "The old lady has passed away. Do not say anything else."
She would seek justice for the old lady, but Song Yilin also knew that the old lady certainly didn't want the world to know that her death was caused by her daughter, simply because of that house. Therefore, Song Yilin did her best to maintain the old lady's dignity in the end.
This is the third time she has attended a farewell ceremony for a deceased person. She had previously attended one ceremony with Bai Ye, and she had also presided over the ceremony when Bai Ye passed away.
If she could, Song Yilin really wouldn't want to be so familiar with this kind of thing.
On the day of the memorial service, many of her close friends from the Yishi store came, as did those from the Jianghai store, which is located locally. Almost the entire Xu Group came, including many she didn't recognize, but they all came to offer incense to the old lady.
Everyone in the Xu Group knows she is Xu Qingmin's girlfriend, their future boss's wife, and also the head of a branch of the group. Anyone with a bit of sense comes over, regardless of whether Song Yilin knows her or not, they all take this opportunity to get acquainted with her.
Mr. Xu and Xu Ming came together.
Old Xu lit incense for the old lady and said to her portrait, "Thank you."
After offering incense, Xu Ming looked at Song Yilin with a complicated expression.
She sensed that Xu Ming's gaze towards her had changed; it no longer looked down on her as before, but rather seemed to hold a hint of appreciation.
He then awkwardly said to Song Yilin, "Please accept my condolences."
She walked up to Bai Guanqun and wiped her eyes. Bai Guanqun was too caught up in her emotions to realize who was wiping her tears, and looked up at Xu Ming in confusion.
Xu Ming's eyes showed a hint of heartache, but she said nothing.
From then on, Song Yilin understood that she had single-handedly handled such a complicated funeral, and so many people had come to pay their respects to the old lady out of respect for her. In Xu Ming's eyes, Song Yilin had barely met her standards as a daughter-in-law.
However, Xu Ming still doesn't like her.
Song Yilin felt very uncomfortable with Xu Ming's standards for being a daughter-in-law.
Xu Yijing and Mu Yunzi came together, but Xu Yijing didn't plan to leave after arriving. The Xu family didn't allow Mu Yunzi to receive guests, and since they couldn't get Xu Yijing to leave, and Xu Ming was heading towards this place, she was afraid that Xu Ming would punish her when she got back, so she quickly left first.
Gu Sinan had been helping out at the venue the whole time. When Wang Qianqian appeared, he wanted to go up to her, but he was afraid of startling her, so he just watched her quietly.
Wang Qianqian already showed signs of pregnancy, and she had gained weight. She seemed to be facing Gu Sinan with a lot of composure.
Gu Sinan stepped forward, and she simply nodded to him before hugging Song Yilin.
Are you getting used to life in Binzhou?
"You can tell from me whether I'm used to it or not. I'm eating and drinking well, and the people at the Binzhou store are very cooperative at work."
Song Yilin knew that Wang Qianqian was just saying the easiest thing to say; a store with dozens of employees is never easy.
"Go sit over there. You're pregnant, so don't stay in the fragrance for too long."
After Wang Qianqian sat down, Gu Sinan immediately stepped forward.
Before Gu Sinan could speak, Wang Qianqian said, "The child is yours. I don't plan to be with you or get married. You don't need to waste your time on me."
"I know, thank you."
"What are you thanking me for?"
"Thank you for being willing to give birth to our child."
"The child is for me, it has nothing to do with you. Go ahead and do your thing, I don't want to disturb my pregnancy."
Gu Sinan knew that Wang Qianqian was angry at his impulsive actions, so he left immediately.
To Song Yilin's surprise, Chen Yan also came.
Xu Qingmin greeted Chen Yan warmly and generously: "Thank you for coming, President Chen."
"Mr. Xu, please accept my condolences."
He then said to Song Yilin, "Please accept my condolences."
After offering incense, I entered the venue.
When everyone had arrived, the meal began.
When Bai Ye passed away, she had only been at the Yishi store for a short time, and the people at the Yishi store gave her face and went to Bai Ye's funeral.
Now, part of it is due to Xu Qingmin's reputation, and part of it is due to the connections she has maintained over the years and the social status she has worked so hard to achieve.
A person's social status seems to be fully displayed in such occasions.
