Chapter 78 Curtain Call ①
Chapter 78 Curtain Call ①
Zheng Pei is dead.
When Han Huan got the news, it was already half a month later.
Just after the Spring Festival, the snow on the ground has not yet melted, and the wheelchair made two clear marks on the snow.
Gu Jing's leg injury was still not healed, and when Han Huan pushed the wheelchair into the church, the funeral was drawing to a close.
From a distance, he saw white roses blooming in the coffin, with white petals surrounding its owner.
There were not many people in the church, and they all sat in the front rows. Most of them were faces unfamiliar to Han Huan, but most of them knew Gu Jing. When they heard the door open, they all turned their heads slightly, except A man in a black suit.
The weather was cold, and this silent man was only wearing a black suit, sitting upright in the first row closest to the portrait, his tense body seemed to be broken at any moment.
Gu Jing glanced coldly at the person who wanted to get up, lightly patted the person behind him, and stopped by the bench next to the door.
The black gauze, the black coffin, and the long white dress that covered the once soft body, someone in the crowd was whispering, mixed with the priest's prayer, making people feel a little depressed unconsciously.
Han Huan thought, compared to white, the bright and dazzling red is more suitable for this woman.
"Zheng Pei jumped off the building the night before the third phase of chemotherapy started. She jumped from the eleventh floor and was pronounced dead on the spot." Gu Jing's voice was very soft, just enough for Han Huan to hear.
The third stage of chemotherapy has reached the middle stage.
Han Huan was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously looked at the person in front of him.Gu Jing was quietly looking at the woman's bright smile in the photo, and did not speak any more.
Ten minutes later, the farewell stage of the funeral was over, and the burial was about to begin. The guests walked out one after another. Han Huan stayed with Gu Jing until the end, watching the man in black in the first row slowly get up and walk towards them.
"Long time no see, Gu Er."
"It's been a long time, Zeng Cheng."
Even if they used to be friends who talked about everything, at this moment they can only say hello.
Gu Jing looked at the man a few steps away, the vicissitudes of life were covered by the bruises in his eyes, and a few white hairs were already mixed in, which was far from the high-spirited Master Zeng a few months ago.
"I heard that Zheng Pei called you before he died."
Unexpectedly, the next sentence would be like this, Zeng Cheng was slightly taken aback, and a wry smile appeared on his face.
"She said that she didn't want to see her bald self, so she had to leave first, and hoped that we were all well."
Seemingly noticing that he glanced at the man behind Gu Jing, Zeng Cheng's eyes dimmed for a moment, and then he said loudly, "I really envy you, Gu Er, we have been friends for so many years, I wish you happiness."
"Thank you."
The coffin was carried out, and when passing by the coffin, Han Huan, with his good eyesight, saw the light makeup on Zheng Pei's delicate facial features.
Han Huan suddenly remembered the first time he met Zheng Pei a year ago.He has known this name for a long time, but the encounter at the airport was the first time he saw this beautiful woman.
At this moment, death has fixed this woman named Zheng Pei at the best time.
There was still some way to leave the church and the car, the weather changed unexpectedly, and the rain poured down.
"My uncle said this morning that He Chong came back from England."
With a symbolic hum, Han Huan wiped off the rain on Gu Jing's body with a borrowed dry towel.
The coffee shop was full of noise, people sheltering from the rain gathered at the door, chattering non-stop.Sitting in the corner, Gu Jing looked at the man who was changing the cups in front of the two of them, and smiled.
Looks like he won't be able to drink his beloved espresso today.
"The evidence He Chong brought back from England has been submitted to the superiors. He suffered a severe injury and broke one of his hands, so he couldn't connect it."
silence.
The heavy rain blurred the scenery outside the window, and only the silhouettes of tall buildings could be seen in the blur, but Han Huan seemed to have seen something special, and his eyes did not move back from the window for a long time.
Hands are held.
"Don't worry about him. As soon as that guy came back, someone picked up June from Chen Feng. I heard that the kid almost ran away from home because of this."
runaway?
Han Huan withdrew his gaze, "Submit the evidence, and the results will come soon."
Nodding, Gu Jing picked up the cup of hot cocoa that had been exchanged, her eyes were unclear.
"The Zeng family is about to be overwhelmed by my little uncle, and it's time to understand what happened this time."
The rain was pattering against the windows, as if to wash away all the dirt.
Out of the corner of Gu Jing's eyes, she inadvertently glanced out of the window. In the heavy rain, Zeng Cheng, who left with the coffin a few minutes ago, unexpectedly returned to the church.
"Ah Hwan."
The voice was not as calm as before, and there was a faint sigh. Han Huan held the cold hand, and the trace of worry in his eyes disappeared quickly.
"I don't have many friends, so I buried two here." Gu Jing paused, and responded to her lover's worry with a smile.
"Zheng Pei didn't love the wrong person. If she didn't use me as an excuse, Zeng Cheng would be a very good home."
……
It rained intermittently for several days.
Although he has not been discharged from the hospital yet, Second Young Master Gu has already started his daily work, but under the supervision of his wife, he has changed from working eight hours a day and staying up all night to four hours, eating and resting on time, and his body is gradually recovering It's coming soon.
When Han Huan met Gu Jun outside the hospital, he found that the child had dyed the original dark red hair back to black, with wet hair sticking to his face, and his quiet appearance was somewhat similar to Gu Jing.
"Second sister-in-law, good morning."
Gu Jun, who forgot to bring an umbrella after getting out of the car and chose to run over in the rain, has not changed in essence.
When Han Huan got out of the elevator, Gu Jun went to the top floor.
After Gu Jing started to take over the affairs of the Gu family, Duan Lin was still in charge of the part related to the Zeng family, and it was said that he was going to return to Europe after the affairs of the Zeng family were over.
So, in the short time left, Gu Jun decided to go to the small study on the top floor every day, and some strange sounds came from the top floor from time to time.
"Uncle, what are you having for lunch today?"
"Uncle, can you take a look at what you gave me after deciphering it?"
"Uncle, I deciphered it so perfectly, is there any reward?"
"Uncle..."
"You are noisy."
Gu Jun's heartbeat stopped for a beat, and after confirming that the other party did not say the word "go out" blankly like before, his powerful heart beat strongly and accelerated again in the low temperature.
"I told my second brother that after you return to Europe, uncle, I will stay in Gu's house, and I won't need that hacker identity in Europe anymore."
Joining the Gu family is tantamount to completely blackening yourself.
It wasn't until the words fell that the man who had been buried in the document raised his head.Duan Lin glanced at the person in front of him who was doing nothing but playing darts, and said in a flat tone, "Very good."
"Oh."
With the expected answer, Gu Jun sat obediently in the corner with his head drooping, and stopped talking.
A few hours passed without realizing it in the quiet study.
Duan Lin raised his head and found that a certain child had fallen asleep on the sofa. The sleeping position...was really not elegant.
After being patted awake, Gu Jun opened his eyes in a daze. His blood pressure had been low since he woke up, and he couldn't hear what the person in front of him was saying. Before he could stand still, he straightened and fell forward.
With his hands sinking, Duan Lin supported someone who was still in a daze, and found that this person was not as heavy as an ordinary adult, and his shoulders were so thin that his hands were a little bit.
... or dark red is more suitable for this child.
Let go of his hand before the other party was completely awake, Duan Lin walked to the door first, opened the door, looked at the motionless child, and said lightly, "Aren't you going to eat?"
"Go," Gu Jun stared at the unclosed door, stunned for a few seconds, then strode up to the footsteps of the person outside the door.
Today is another day where I can have dinner with my uncle, Gu Jun thought happily.
The future seems to be very, very long.
