The body is transported to the funeral home separately, where a beautician will do the final makeup for the deceased before the farewell to the family.
When Old Master Gong woke up at the Gong residence and heard the confirmed news of Gong Changzhou's death, he felt a metallic taste in his throat and then spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Gong family, who were at the airport, had just received Gong Changzhou's body when they received news that the old man had vomited blood and was being rushed to the hospital. Almost without hesitation, everyone except Gong Changzhou's wife and children rushed to the hospital...
Just moments ago, there was a large group of Gong family members, who seemed to be a very united family. Now, only Gong Changzhou's family remains.
Gu Mingyin was so grief-stricken that she almost fainted, while Gong Chengkun looked grave.
At this point, the one who remained calm and could make decisions was Gong Chengjue. After the body was taken to the funeral home, Gong Chengjue spoke his first words to Gong Chengkun, "I'm going to the hospital, do you want to come?"
Upon hearing that Gong Chengjue was going to the hospital, Gong Chengkun could hardly believe it. "Dad's funeral arrangements still need to be taken care of urgently. You're going to the hospital at this time? What, are you afraid they'll gain the upper hand and take your share?"
"Chengkun!" Gu Mingyin scolded her son upon hearing this.
Whether Gong Changzhou is present or not is a completely different matter. Gu Mingyin is well aware of their situation after Gong Changzhou's departure.
So she changed her attitude almost without any struggle.
With Gong Changzhou absent, Gong Chengkun and Gong Chengjue are the closest brothers, which is why they need to stand together in front of all the Gong family members.
Gong Chengkun's current state clearly shows that he still hasn't grasped his situation and still thinks things can go back to normal...
"Mommy, don't interrupt me. Did I say something wrong? Look at him, does he look even a little sad? He's acting like nothing's wrong."
Gong Chengjue sneered, "So you're actually sad, and then you're here yelling and screaming like an idiot?"
Luo Jinhan had been assisting Gong Chengjue, and hearing Gong Chengkun's indiscriminate accusations, he felt sorry for Gong Chengjue.
Unable to resist speaking up for Gong Chengjue, she said, "Second Young Master, Mr. Gong is very sad."
But as the eldest son, he was heartbroken and still had to deal with these matters.
Do you really think you can just cry like a child and then ignore everything?
There are so many people in the Gong family, but wasn't Gong Chengjue the only one who went to the scene of the accident?!
"Chengkun, that's enough." Gu Mingyin was clear-headed and apologized to Gong Chengjue, "Chengjue, Chengkun is still young and has just experienced the pain of losing his father. As his older brother, you shouldn't hold it against him. You are brothers."
Gong Chengjue gave Gu Mingyin a deep look; this stepmother certainly changed her tune quickly.
Gu Mingyin was quite frank in letting Gong Chengjue look her over, without hiding her thoughts, "Even if brothers break each other's legs, the tendons are still attached."
Did he understand what she meant?
Gong Chengjue didn't say anything, but looked at Gong Chengkun and asked, "Are you going to the hospital?"
There's no time to settle things after his death, and the rest can be handled by others. With Grandpa in the hospital, his health is the most important thing right now.
Gong Chengjue was truly afraid that the old man wouldn't be able to bear the blow of a parent outliving their child...
In that case, the Gong family is truly in chaos.
“Yes, Chengkun will definitely go.” Gu Mingyin sniffed and gave a not-too-bad smile. “The two of you go. As for your father’s affairs… I will handle them.”
As Gu Mingyin spoke, tears almost streamed down her face again.
She truly had feelings for Gong Changzhou. Apart from having been married once before marrying her, Gong Changzhou was practically without any flaws.
But it is precisely because of this that she has grown increasingly resentful of Gong Chengjue, who has been an obstacle in their world, all these years.
More than once, I've fantasized about what would have happened if Gong Changzhou had married her from the very beginning...
Gong Chengjue walked directly to the car, and Gong Chengkun, realizing what was happening, followed him.
"I want to be alone." Gong Chengjue directly refused Gong Chengkun's request to ride in the same car.
Gong Chengkun's face flushed red. "Do you think I wanted to ride in the same car as you?"
As he spoke, he immediately walked out, his car parked not far away.
Gong Chengjue didn't say anything. He only had time to look at his phone after getting into the car. There were several WeChat messages from friends asking about his well wishes, as well as Su Ziqing's worried inquiry.
After thanking his friends, he replied to Su Ziqing on WeChat, "No, not good at all."
He could thank his friends and pretend everything was fine, but he didn't want to put on a brave face in front of her.
God knows what he was going through to bring his father's body back.
What sustains him, allowing him to handle things rationally as usual?
But he was the eldest son, and he had no right to back down or show his pain.
At least Gong Chengkun has a mother he can confide in.
What about him?
He had nothing.
His beloved grandfather is now hospitalized with vomiting blood and is in critical condition. Even if Gong Chengjue is an iron man, he is still struggling to cope with two such blows.
But that was all he could say to her.
"Can I call you?" Su Ziqing's message came right away.
Ever since she arrived in the capital, she has kept her phone in her hand, afraid of missing any messages from Gong Chengjue.
Gong Chengjue replied to her message, "I'm on my way to the hospital now, I'll call you later."
Luo Jinhan sat in the passenger seat, receiving a constant stream of messages from the company. There were two documents that Gong Chengjue urgently needed to sign.
Gong Chengjue wasn't at the company yesterday, and the work had already piled up.
As Gong Chengjue's special assistant, Luo Jinhan is usually extremely busy, let alone Gong Chengjue himself.
“Mr. Gong,” Luo Jinhan turned to look at the back seat of the car, “there are two documents that urgently need your signature before they can be implemented overseas. What do you think…”
The document arrived the night before last, and he should have signed it yesterday morning. However, Gong Chengjue was not in the company all day yesterday, so this delay means it's been two or three days.
Luo Jinhan felt that it was truly inhumane to make Gong Chengjue handle official business when his father had just died and the old man was hospitalized with an unknown condition.
But... as long as the sky doesn't fall, company affairs still need to be managed.
That's why he asked that question.
"Bring it to the hospital," Gong Chengjue said.
“Okay.” Luo Jinhan looked at Gong Chengjue with concern. “Mr. Gong, you haven’t eaten anything since noon yesterday. Would you like to eat something first…”
"No need, I have no appetite. Let me have some peace and quiet." He interrupted Luo Jinhan directly, even telling him to stop talking nonsense.
"Okay." Luo Jinhan handled work on her phone.
