"I'm glad you can come. I received the book that day. Don't worry, I will inherit my father's wishes and send money to the people in the book every month."
He checked the names on the list in the little notebook Qiao Nian gave him, and found that they were all his father's former comrades-in-arms.
Wei Mingxuan pursed his lips, unable to hide the emotion on his face, and whispered to the girl: "Qiao Nian, thank you. If it weren't for you..."
He had just said half of his words when Wei Lou came over and grabbed his arm to interrupt him, nonchalantly, as if he didn't care about anything: "Dad, why are you talking so much? That's enough, let Qiao Xiaonian go in first. What will others think if you block them at the door?"
There are a lot of guests coming to the Wei family to pay their respects today, all of them are well-known figures in Beijing. Wei Mingxuan is in charge of the overall affairs of the Wei family.
Is the absolute master of today.
The fact that the host left so many guests behind and went to talk to a young girl was in itself an extremely eye-catching thing.
Many people are looking in this direction.
He looked Qiao Nian up and down, as if trying to figure out Qiao Nian's background.
Wei Mingxuan was a man who had been through many ups and downs, and only after his son reminded him did he realize belatedly that now was not a good time to reminisce about the past.
He rubbed his forehead and smiled helplessly: "Look at me, I'm busy and confused."
He raised his head again and looked at the girl with an apologetic look in his eyes: "Miss Qiao, please don't mind. I will come to thank you in person after I am done with this busy period."
Qiao Nian was not good at handling such occasions. His eyebrows were irritated. He raised his hand and subconsciously tried to pull the brim of his hat, but then he realized that he was not wearing a cap when he went out. He put his hand down again. His cold white skin was so white in the sun that it dazzled his eyes. He looked porcelain white and delicate. "Uncle Wei, you don't have to be polite to me. I said that Wei Lou and I are friends, and Grandpa Wei is also my elder. I'm just sorry that I couldn't help you."
This was the first time she failed to save someone from the hands of death.
It was also because of Mr. Wei’s incident that she realized for the first time that death was very close to her.
Life is so short, it seems like in the blink of an eye, or as soon as you let go, a person is gone.
Qiao Nian pursed her lips, and when she passed by the young man, she raised her hand and gently patted the man on the shoulder. There was no extra expression on her face, but her action was very warm: "My condolences." She patted him and then withdrew her hand, put one hand in her pocket, and walked straight into the mourning hall.
He stayed in the guardhouse until the girl walked away.
Only then did I see the girl's back gradually walking away.
He was stunned for a second, then raised the corner of his mouth, almost showing the nonchalant smile he had when he was walking around the city, but the corner of his mouth only raised halfway and then fell down, leaving only endless bitterness.
He has been in Raocheng for three years, and during these three years he has been thinking all the time about how to take his relationship with Qiao Nian to the next level and make it closer.
He never thought that it would be in this situation when he finally waited for his sweetheart to approach him.
This feeling of being pitied by the girl I have secretly loved for many years...
Wei Lou twitched the corner of his mouth and almost wanted to curse out loud.
Fuck the dog!
*
The funeral hall for Mr. Wei was decorated very solemnly.
All the guests who came in to pay their respects lined up in an orderly manner. Each person walked to the front of the mourning hall, placed the white flowers they brought, bowed, and then it was the next person's turn.
Qiao Nian was at the back of the line.
After Qin Si bowed to the old man in the photo, he put down the white flower, turned around and was about to leave when he saw a girl in the crowd who was so conspicuous that she was even queuing.
