The girl cried out in horror and ran her hands through her hair.
"…"
The entire audience was shocked.
Shi Xiaonian turned her head and looked at Li Qingyan. They were both stunned in place. Was it really so strange?
Abruptly, Shi Xiaonian was pulled back into a thick and warm embrace. An arm tightened around her, and a voice that sounded a little short of breath nervously came from above her head, "Are you alright?"
"Gong Ou?" Shi Xiaonian raised her head in shock, she then bumped into Gong Ou's panicking eyes and quickly replied, "I'm fine, it's just a guest who was startled. Why are you here?"Wasn't he talking about something not far from here?
"I ran over when I heard the scream. I was worried about you." Gong Ou steadied his own aura, and wrapped one arm around her, while the other caressed her face, "Are you really alright? Are you scared? "
"Nope."
Shi Xiaonian shook her head, her gaze falling on the throbbing veins on his forehead. She was moved for a moment, even when she heard the screams of others, he was so afraid that she had rushed over in such a hurry because he thought something had happened to her.
"It's good that you don't have any."
Gong Ou lowered his head and kissed her forehead. He hugged her and took two steps forward, then looked at Guan Delin who was crouching on the grass, along with the screaming girl.
The crowd grew larger and larger, and even some of the men had heard the news.Seeing that he was unable to control himself, Guan Delin pulled the girl and said, "Miss Selina, you must have seen wrongly. It's so easy to see the trees shaking here at night."
But the girl completely ignored her, holding her head and shouting out of fear, "No, it's Mo Nuo, I saw her! It was her! It was her! She's in the woods over there! "
As she spoke, the girl pointed in a direction.Everyone looked in the direction the girl was pointing, they gasped for breath as they heard the commotion. Shi Xiaonian turned her head to look, and frowned.
It was for no other reason, because there would be a memorial meeting for Mo Nuo tomorrow, which would be held in the forest.
"Pretending to be ghosts."Gong Ou heard a cold snort filled with disdain.
Shi Xiaonian could not help but laugh bitterly, this kind of matter, whether one was in the east or the west, would not be forbidden.The farce ended with "misreading", the girl was taken away, and the dinner was quickly over.
Daybreak had arrived.
Shi Xiaonian changed into a black dress with a vertical collar, the skirt reaching her calves, making her figure exceptionally slim and petite. Her jet-black hair was casually swept up, and she wore a black veil pinned to her hair.Turning her head, she saw Gong Ou standing in front of the mirror and putting on a black shirt, a grey tie tied around his chest, and an extremely dazzling diamond tie.
"Isn't that too eye-catching?"
Shi Xiaonian walked over and asked.
Today was Mo Nuo's memorial service. Everyone would appear in black, with or without jewelry, but Gong Ou ended up wearing such an exaggerated tie clip.
"I'm sorry I didn't wear a red tie." Gong Ou coldly snorted.
Did he have to show how heavy his heart was to attend a memorial service for someone who had almost killed his son?
"…"
Red tie.Shi Xiaonian thought about that scene and felt that it was really beautiful. She didn't force him to fix his tie, but instead said softly, "The dead already are dead, since they are here, I will still show them what I mean."
"Oh."
Gong Ou replied.
"Alright, let's go." Shi Xiaonian said as she turned to grab her bag.
Putting her bag on the cabinet, she reached out and picked it up. Seeing the itinerary for today, she couldn't help but think back to last night's scene and couldn't help but say, "Gong Ou, if that miss last night saw it correctly, it must be someone putting on an act. What is the purpose of this statement?"
"I've already sent someone to investigate." Gong Ou said in a deep voice, "If someone is planning it intentionally, this won't happen once, we just need to wait and see a good show."
"Watching a good show?" Shi Xiaonian was startled.
"Yes." Gong Ou hugged her waist and walked out, and laughed sinisterly: "Don't you think that the annual tribute is getting more and more interesting?"
Interesting.
When they heard news of Gong Yu just now, they thought that it would go smoothly and some kind of soul incident happened to Mo Nuo. Other than their Gong Jia, could it be that there was someone else who had ulterior motives during the annual tribute?
In the depths of the forest, there was a lush green grassland. All the chairs were arranged in an extremely neat row, and at the very front was a black and white satin stage. In the center of the stage was a large frame of Mo Nuo.
The staff is welcoming the guests in.
Guests walked in one after another. Because of the scene last night, although everyone was quiet, their faces did not look good as they looked around.
Shi Xiaonian held Gong Ou's arm and walked into the flower shaped arch. She heard a noble lady whispering in front of them, "I heard that the young lady from Selina's house was extremely scared and could not even get up today. She was screaming about how she saw her soul."
Shi Xiaonian raised her eyes and looked at Gong Ou, and the two of them looked at each other without saying anything and walked in."Young Master Gong, Second Young Madam Palace, please wear it." A staff member respectfully presented two exquisite boxes containing a flower like crystal.
Shi Xiaonian received it and held it in front of her chest. Before she was done, she heard the guests behind him ask, "Why the use of a crystal flower?"
They usually wore white flowers.
"Sir said that Miss Mo Nuo loved crystal ornaments the most when she was alive, so she used crystal flowers as substitutes. This flower was personally designed by Miss Mo Nuo herself when she was at school." "Yes," the staff replied.
As soon as she said that, the female guest shrieked in fright, and the crystal flower fell to the ground.
Everyone looked over, and the husband frowned. He bent down and picked up the crystal flower, gritting his teeth as he scolded, "Put it on quickly, don't make a fuss.""Why do you want us to wear something designed by a dead person? People saw it last night …" cried the female guest excitedly, as her husband dragged her inside with his hand over her mouth.
The entrance was temporarily quiet.
Shi Xiaonian didn't know whether to give Gong Ou the crystal flower or not, so she looked at him hesitantly.
Gong Ou took the crystal flower from her hand and threw it into the staff member's hands, "I never wear accessories."After saying that, Gong Ou dragged Shi Xiaonian and walked inside, without even turning his head back.
"Second young master Gong …"
The staff looked at him in a daze, not daring to chase after him. Second Young Master, you never wear accessories, but the moment you turn around, the diamond tie clip on your body would go so far that it would blind my eyes.The small episode at the entrance would not affect the progress of the memorial service. Shi Xiaonian and Gong Ou were arranged to sit in the first row.
Some of them were secretly sizing up Gong Ou, some were trying to establish a relationship with Gong Ou, and some were trying to probe whether Gong Ou's relationship with George was good or bad.
Gong Ou sat there, taking the moves with ease.Very quickly, George and his wife came onto the stage. The two of them sat beside Gong Ou and chatted hypocritically for a while.
After Guan Delin made her opening statement, it was Mo Nuo's relatives and friends who were speaking on stage.
"Mo Nuo is the little sister of our family. Although she has been doted upon and grew up, she has never been arrogant or proud. She is beautiful, intelligent, and capable. A brother of Mo Nuo walked onto the stage, holding an album in his hands as he stood in front of the microphone and said, "When we were young, we often played together in the forest here. At that time, teacher taught me how to shoot arrows, but I didn't dare to pull the bow open."Shi Xiaonian listened quietly, watching the man take out the pictures of them when they were young one by one. On the screen of the projector at the side, a enlarged picture appeared, in the picture the siblings were laughing extremely happily.
"At that time, Mo Nuo was only 5 years old and had not even started learning how to shoot. She saw that I did not dare to draw my bow, so she picked up my bow and shot an arrow at a rabbit." "Mo Nuo, hold the rabbit and tell me, Big Brother, there's nothing difficult about it. Father, we are the children of Lancaster, we are born to be the prey, the king, so don't be afraid, all the prey are ours."
Some of the guests gently wiped away their tears when they heard this.
Shi Xiaonian could not help but feel that this story did not feel good.
She did not reply, but looked towards Gong Ou at the side. From the start, he did not hear what was said on the stage, and had been playing with her fingers, not paying attention at all.
"My first courage was taught to me by Mo Nuo." That person's voice was choked with emotion as he continued to flip through the photo albums in his hands, recounting past events.
A photo of Mo Nuo appeared on the projector screen. In the photo, she was dressed in a horse riding outfit as she stood in the forest, looking cool and beautiful.
The distant scene was very familiar, it took Shi Xiaonian two seconds to realize that the photo was taken inside the forest.
"When we rode that horse, Mo Nuo told me that she had someone she liked. She also told me that the men she liked were one in a million …"
"AHH!"
A terrified scream broke brother Mo Nuo's voice, followed by the screams of a bunch of women.
Shi Xiaonian somehow turned her head around and saw a few female guests who were covering their mouths and shouting. All of them were looking in one direction with fear, and Shi Xiaonian followed their gazes and only saw a few trees whose leaves were not dense at all.
What was going on?
Someone asked, and a female guest stood up and shouted hysterically, "It's Mo Nuo, I see Mo Nuo! She's just standing there, exactly the same as in the photo. The leaves on the tree have all grown up! "
Shi Xiaonian felt a chill down her spine when she heard this, even though she knew that everything was fake.Indeed, it was as Gong Ou had said. This matter would not stop at one thing, who was the one who planned all of this?
The girls who saw it all began to scream and narrate in fear. The scene immediately turned chaotic.
Shi Xiaonian turned around and saw Gong Ou looking at this scene with a smile that was not a smile. She walked closer to him and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
