Watching the news reports, Choi Jung-sook was in disbelief, and tears welled up in her eyes without her knowing when.
At the same time, it was not only Cui Jingshu who saw the news, but also Xia Xingchen and Gong Bingye in the palace.
Xia Xingchen couldn't believe it. She never thought that the person who called her and invited her to dinner two days ago was now buried in the earth.
She hadn't seen Li Zhenglin for a long time and had no idea that he had a terminal illness. If she had known, she might have gone to see Li Zhenglin for the last time because she had lived in Li Yuan before.
But the incident happened suddenly, and Xia Xingchen felt very frightened, and at the same time lamented the preciousness of life.
Xia Xingchen asked calmly, "Please help me find out when Li Zhenglin's funeral will be held?"
Gong Bingye was surprised: "You want to go?"
Xia Xingchen: "After all, I was once Li Zhenglin's stepdaughter. Everyone knows it. If I don't go, as a public figure, I'm bound to be used against me."
Xia Xingchen's words certainly made sense, but given the current situation, it was difficult for her to step forward. "But, if I step forward at this critical moment, those reporters will probably eat you up, right?"
Xia Xingchen smiled gently, then she looked at Gong Bingye intently and said firmly, "With the Crown Prince's protection, who dares to eat me?"
"You mean..." Gong Bingye was suddenly delighted. After being with Xia Xingchen for such a long time, this was the first time he felt that the girl was needed by him. "Girl, don't worry. I'm here. I don't think anyone dares to touch a hair on your head."
Soon, it was the day of Li Zhenglin's burial.
On that day, Gong Bingye drove away all the reporters who came in through connections on the grounds that "Li Zhenglin doesn't like to be disturbed", and also sent a large number of bodyguards to surround the funeral.
The only people visible at the funeral were Li Zhenglin's family, Linhui Entertainment's shareholders, and Jing Han.
No one expected that Jing Han would actually attend Li Zhenglin's funeral.
A drizzle of rain fell at the funeral, and the sky seemed to be hung with grief. Every drop of rain that fell on everyone was like a teardrop from the sky, gently brushing every inch of land.
Li Zishu lay beside Li Zhenglin's coffin, gently wiping Li Zhenglin's face with a towel. The drizzle from the sky kept dripping on Li Zhenglin's face, and no matter how Li Zishu wiped it, it couldn't be wiped clean.
Li Zishu was standing in the rain, but no one offered her an umbrella. Seeing her pale face, Jing Han was moved. He held up an umbrella, walked behind her and offered her an umbrella.
Li Zhenglin's face was not wiped clean until the rain above his head stopped.
Li Zishu stopped wiping her face and said softly, "Dad, go with peace of mind. Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you."
"I will make those who killed you pay, no matter who they are."
At this time, Xia Xingchen came over, and Gong Bingye held an umbrella for her behind her.
Xia Xingchen glanced at Li Zhenglin, who was sleeping peacefully in the coffin, then looked up at Li Zishu. After a moment, she said softly, "Sister, I am deeply sorry for your loss."
Li Zishu is two years older than Xia Xingkong. In fact, she is the elder sister of the two sisters.
"Sister?" Li Zishu smiled sadly. How could she forget that Xia Xingchen was also Cui Jingshu's daughter and Xia Xingkong's younger sister.
She always called herself a friend of Xia Xingchen and called her Xingchen. She had forgotten that Xia Xingchen was her stepsister.
Xia Xingchen had never called her sister before, but today...
Xia Xingchen's face is clean and unadorned, giving people an irresistible sense of honesty.
She had also heard about everything Li Zhenglin had done to Xia Xingchen before, and later... he was able to become friends with her because Xia Xingchen was a person who could get along with her.
Xia Xingchen must have hated Li Zhenglin as much as she did before. But now that Li Zhenglin was dead, Xia Xingchen was willing to call her "sister." Did that mean she had forgiven Li Zhenglin?!
Xia Xingchen's word "sister" also surprised Gong Bingye and Jing Han behind her. They actually overlooked the fact that Li Zishu was actually Xia Xingchen's sister.
Gong Bingye looked at Xia Xingchen's delicate and clean profile with heartache, thinking: Has the girl forgiven Li Zhenglin?
At this time, Xia Xingchen not only did not despise her, but also took the initiative to recognize her as her sister. Li Zishu was so moved that tears filled her eyes. She cried and agreed loudly: "Hey~"
The shareholders of Linhui Entertainment who were standing by were extremely panicked when they saw this scene. Not only did Li Zishu come back, but Xia Xingchen actually admitted that Li Zishu was her sister?
You know, the man behind Xia Xingchen is the crown prince of Lidu. A little Li Zishu is nothing to be afraid of, but if Xia Xingchen helps Li Zishu, things will be difficult...
They had thought that once Li Zhenglin died, even if they couldn't get the shares, the matter would be over. After all... he had advanced liver cancer, and no one would associate it with them. But now, Li Zishu was back. If she got carried away and started investigating the cause of Li Zhenglin's death, then they...
It’s better to act early and take control of Linhui Entertainment as soon as possible, and not give Li Zishu any chance to enter Linhui Entertainment!
When Li Zhenglin was buried, not far away, a woman in plain clothes, a hat and a mask watched everything silently.
Her eyes were filled with tears, which made people feel so distressed.
After Li Zhenglin's funeral, the shareholders of Linhui Entertainment left one by one. Seeing that there was nothing for her to do here, Xia Xingchen also prepared to leave.
However, just as she was about to leave, Li Zishu stopped her, "Xingchen, don't go yet, I have something to tell you."
Soon, only Gong Bingye, Xia Xingchen, Li Zishu and Jing Han were left at the funeral.
Gong Bingye and Xia Xingchen naturally cannot be separated. Jing Han knows that he is a bit redundant now, but he pretends not to know and continues to stay here.
He thought that this way he could spend more time with Li Zishu, but he never expected that after she asked Xia Xingchen to stay, she ordered him to leave. "Thank you for the umbrella, Mr. Jing. There's nothing to do here, Mr. Jing, go back and get busy."
Li Zishu snatched the umbrella from Jinghan's hand without saying a word, and her meaning was obvious.
But Jinghan didn't want to leave at this time. He subconsciously blurted out, "I'm not busy..." As he said this, he also played the victim, "The company's performance has been bad recently, which has caused me to be very idle now. I'm so idle that I'm anxious, so... I'm not busy at all."
After saying that, Jing Han took the umbrella from Li Zishu's hand while she wasn't paying attention.
Gong Bingye and Xia Xingchen saw through Jing Han's self-torture scheme, so she quickly changed the subject, "Sister, what do you want to tell me?"
Li Zishu swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. She didn't insist on whether Jing Han would stay or go, but said to Xia Xingchen, "Come with me."
