I looked over at the sound and saw that Tang Xiu'e had gone mad again.
She rushed to the wall, kicked the wreath I had just delivered to the ground, and stomped on it wildly.
Jiang Haiyang stepped forward and pulled her away: "What are you doing! Jiang Wan is also a member of the Jiang family, shouldn't she send a wreath?"
“No need! My daughter doesn’t want her pity! She’s not here to offer condolences, she’s clearly here to watch the show and humiliate me. My poor daughter… she died so young, and even in death she has to be humiliated…”
Tang Xiu'e shouted, then gradually burst into tears and collapsed to the ground.
Jiang Haiyang tried to pull her up, but he couldn't.
Gu Yanqing dragged his injured leg closer, wanting to help but feeling powerless to do so.
Jiang Haiyang had to call his son over, and the father and son together managed to pull Tang Xiue up.
I stood a distance away from them, watching coldly.
After Tang Xiu'e stood up, her gaze shifted to me, and she immediately ordered Gu Yanqing, "Yanqing, throw her out! Quickly!"
Gu Yanqing turned to look at me, his face somber, and said in a low voice, "Aunt Tang, Jiang Wan meant well, please don't do this. With so many guests, it won't sound good if word gets out."
Tang Xiu'e was taken aback, then looked at him with indignation. "What? Jiang Yi's body is barely cold, and you're already falling for someone else? You're starting to protect this slut?"
Gu Yanqing's face also darkened. "Aunt Tang, do you really have to make things so embarrassing at Jiang Yi's funeral?"
"You still know this is Jiang Yi's funeral? Then I order you to go and slap her a few times right now, to avenge Jiang Yi! If she hadn't been so heartless and cruel, leaving Jiang Yi to die, she wouldn't have died so young..."
I was originally just watching the show from the sidelines, not wanting to get involved, but the more they said, the more outrageous it became, and I couldn't stand it anymore.
"Stepmother, according to your logic, should I whip Jiang Yi's corpse today to avenge the loss of my husband?"
As soon as I said that, the scene immediately became agitated.
I continued slowly and calmly, "Although this man is indeed not a good person, even if it's something I don't want, it should be something I throw away first so your daughter can pick it up. It's unreasonable and unethical for her to snatch it from me."
"Jiang Wan!" Before I could finish speaking, Gu Yanqing shouted in a deep voice, staring at me with an extremely unpleasant expression.
I pursed my lips, looked around helplessly, and sighed, "Fine, I've done my part. Whether you appreciate it or not is your business. I'm leaving."
"Jiang Wan, wait a minute." Gu Yanqing suddenly spoke, trying to keep me here.
I stopped in my tracks, and before I could turn around, I heard him say to Jiang Haiyang and Tang Xiu'e, "Dad, Aunt Tang..."
I frowned, deeply puzzled. How could he have uttered that word "Dad"?
“I asked Jiang Wan to come today,” Gu Yanqing explained in a low voice, “Firstly, because we are family, and as her older sister, she should see Jiang Yi off. Secondly, there is something I want to say publicly while everyone is here today.”
The following words startled me, and I suddenly had a bad feeling.
What kind of trouble is he up to now?
Tang Xiu'e's face was flushed with anger, her eyes red and swollen. She glared at Gu Yanqing and said, "What stance are you trying to take? Jiang Yi hasn't even been buried yet. Are you going to get back together with this slut?"
"Yes!" Gu Yanqing readily admitted.
"you……"
This unexpected reversal made Tang Xiue's expression incredibly interesting.
I also raised an eyebrow and stared at Gu Yanqing, feeling that his mental problems were getting worse and worse.
Gu Yanqing paid no heed to the commotion. His gaze swept across the entire mourning hall, taking in the Jiang family's relatives and friends. His expression was solemn, his emotions complex, before he solemnly said—
“The deceased are gone, and the greatest respect we can show to the living is to live our lives well. I have always regarded Jiang Yi as a younger sister, so when I learned that she had a terminal illness, I couldn’t bear it and agreed to marry her, to give her a wedding, so that she could leave without regrets. Now that Jiang Yi is gone, my promise and responsibility to her have also ended—I must be responsible to the person who loved me deeply and gave everything for me.”
Hearing this, I was so shocked I felt like a mountain could explode!
Is he really shameless? How could he say such a thing in public?
"Gu Yanqing, don't—" I was so disgusted that I hurriedly tried to stop him.
Gu Yanqing didn't give me a chance to speak. He turned to look at me, took a brocade box out of his pocket, and opened it.
Inside was a huge diamond ring!
Everyone present was stunned by this scene; their jaws nearly dropped.
"Today, I ask all my relatives and friends to be my witnesses as I propose to Jiang Wan again." With that, he moved his injured leg and slowly knelt down on one knee.
I was shocked and disgusted, and my body instinctively backed away.
"Jiang Wan, I'm sorry for making you suffer. Please give me another chance and marry me! I will hold a grand wedding for you and give you the best of everything. Please forgive me."
He held up the diamond ring, presented it to me with both hands, and passionately proposed.
