Chapter 266 Carrying a Coffin
Old Mrs. Lu jumped off the building.
It was the third day when Fu Zhi got the news. That night, the old lady fell into a deep coma in the intensive care unit of the hospital.
She had just turned 66 and in an attempt to scare her second son, she missed a step and jumped from the fifth-floor window sill. Fortunately, there was an airbag downstairs that saved her life.
Fu Zhi sat at one side of the ward. Old Mrs. Lu didn't even have the strength to whimper. She wore an oxygen mask and said, "Grandma can't live any longer. It's all your fault. But I don't bother to blame you. My last wish is that you stop arguing with Wanwan."
Lu Chuwan's lawyer has done his best. He is very experienced. Starting from her age, she is over fourteen years old and under eighteen years old. The original sentence of three years has been reduced to one year, and Lu Chuwan will be sent to a juvenile detention center.
Age saved her life.
Fu Zhi felt that Mrs. Lu would never learn to be content.
Lu Jingqing felt distressed but helpless for his biological mother. He had taken care of her day and night for two days and just returned home today. Only Fu Zhi, Lu Yumo and the old lady were left in the ward.
So Fu Zhi pulled out a book called "Funeral Feng Shui" from her bag and said, "Don't talk about these useless things. I think you have no desire to live. Pick out the coffin you like first."
Old Mrs. Lu: “???”
Old Mrs. Lu was stunned. She felt that she was living a good life and was only a few steps away from death. She was just trying to scare Fu Zhi.
Just hearing this, Lu Yumo's eyes lit up. He has always been a nonchalant person. Although Old Lady Lu did not treat him as well as she treated her eldest grandson, he had a pure heart and went to Fu Zhi to look through the Feng Shui book with her.
The coffins in the pictures are very expensive, some costing millions, and it is marked that the store will also give away gold and jade inlaid coffins as burial objects, but the styles are too old-fashioned.
"Grandma likes green. Do you have a green-painted coffin?" Lu Yumo flipped back two pages. "I also want one with a big red flower. Grandma always wears a big red flower when she attends important occasions."
Fu Zhi curled her lips and looked at Lu Yumo meaningfully.
He put an earphone in his ear and pointed to the cheapest coffin. "This one is good. It comes with a ribbon."
"Why is the ribbon red? If I tie it in a knot, won't it look too much like a gift box? I don't think that's a good idea."
Lu Yumo chirped like an early bird, and Mrs. Lu's face became darker and darker. Finally, she weakly raised her hand, picked up the chopsticks beside her and smashed them on Lu Yumo's face.
Lu Yumo didn't move.
The disposable chopsticks were not thrown away, but instead hit the old lady's own sheets.
Lu Yumo: “…”
Old Madam Lu took a deep breath and said, "Fu Zhi, your cousin can compose music. Let her out. When she meets the rich and powerful, she will introduce you to the wealthy families in the capital and let you live a life of luxury."
“But I think life is good now.”
Old Mrs. Lu gritted her teeth and said, "You think the Lu family is good because you have lived in the countryside for too long!"
She was so angry, "Why are you so unambitious and don't know how to make progress?!"
"Even if I don't make progress, I know how to stick to the bottom line of being a human being."
Fu Zhi stood up and said, "What kind of original composer can a rubbish company like RM produce? Stop dreaming about Lu Chuwan."
"Go away!" Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Mrs. Lu gasped and her eyes turned red. "Go away! I won't die! I will tell my second son that you bullied me!"
She curled up on the bed, sobbing and feeling sorry for herself.
Before leaving, Fu Zhi threw the chopsticks on the corner of the quilt into the trash can.
Lu Yumo sighed, "You are so kind to grandma, and you don't hold grudges against me."
Fu Zhi put Xu Wei's Feng Shui funeral book into her bag, looked at Lu Yumo's profile with her cold eyes, and said slowly: "This way, when she complains to Dad, she will appear to be making a fuss for no reason."
Lu Yumo: “…”

The next day, at a middle school.
Take a lunch break at noon.
Fu Zhi came back from the milk tea shop.
It was nearly half past twelve, and a group of people in the back row of Class 21 were still whispering about something on their cell phones.
It was rare that Song Fang and Zhou Zihuai also joined the discussion with serious expressions. No one in the class was sleeping.
Zhou Zihuai seldom participated in such gossip discussions among students. He even wrote questions with a pen and paper while listening.
Fu Zhi pulled out an exercise book from his seat.
Song Fang noticed this and hooked her chair leg from behind, "Hey, sister, let me tell you something. There will be a new transfer student in our class. His last name is Ye and he seems to be a boy. But I heard from Mr. Ma that he is not in good health and has asked for a year-end leave from the school."
He laughed so hard at the transfer student's outrageous behavior that he changed the subject after a while, and said with a rare admiration in his tone, "Also, Gu Yan is returning to China today."
"Oh." Fu Zhi expressed that she understood with one word.
"Fuck, sister, you are too cold." Song Fang propped up his chin and smiled, "You haven't heard of Gu Yan, have you?"
"No." Another very light voice, Fu Zhi casually did two physics problems.
The exercise book was given by Li Nanli, and the questions were made by Sheng Hua. Fu Zhi's eyes hurt from playing games recently, so he used doing the exercises as a small game to pass the time.
"No way?" There was a hint of restlessness in the class:
"Gu Yan! She's very popular overseas! She was named the youngest psychotherapist! She has 400,000 to 500,000 fans on the Internet! She's brought honor to us Chinese!"
"She is also a member of our national physical society. She was ranked sixth in the national physics class last year!"
"The key is that she only ranked sixth because she left the exam early due to feeling unwell. She is still sixth! She is a true physics genius!"
"I feel like she doesn't really care about fame or money, and she doesn't even bother to participate in these competitions. She's too versatile!"
Truly outstanding people will be admired by many people, such as the change in Class 21's attitude towards Fu Zhi, and their admiration for Gu Yan.
Song Fang sighed, "She should be assigned to Qian Wenrui's class this time when she comes back, right? Qian Wenrui just lost a beloved general."
Song Fang was talking about Lu Chuwan. The Lu family announced to the school that Lu Chuwan was in poor health and was studying at home. Everyone discussed Lu Chuwan for a few days but didn't come up with any clues. It was boring, so I won't talk about it anymore.
Zhou Zihuai nodded and said, "If I have the chance, I would like to ask her some physics questions."
Song Fang and his group talked for half an hour and did not disperse until one o'clock.
The first class in the afternoon is Chinese.
As soon as the male Chinese teacher entered the classroom, he rolled his eyes at Fu Zhi and said, "The midterm exam is only half a month away. Some pretty girls don't do their homework, but they don't write essays for the exams. They keep targeting me. I will resign and let you become the sinner of the whole class, crying all day long!"
Fu Zhi: “…”
This move was so cool that the whole class stared at Fu Zhi and laughed, and Fu Zhi was speechless.
