Miller?
Shi Xiaonian gazed at Mu Qianchu, she especially wanted to believe in what Mu Qianchu had said.
Because in the past, she trusted Mu Qianchu so much that she felt that if she didn't believe in him, everyone in the world could trust him. Because he was Mu Qianchu, the Mu Qianchu she had looked after for so many years.
Gentle, polite, kind.
But how was she going to deceive herself? At the same time that something happened to Xi Family, did something happen to Gong Ou as well? There was no connection at all between her and Mu Qianchu. Everything had nothing to do with Mu Qianchu.
"Then what about Miller?"Shi Xiaonian asked.
Mu Qianchu observed Shi Xiaonian's expression, a profound look in her eyes, "According to the rules, I have already dealt with him, and dealt with him along with his subordinates."
"No proof?"Shi Xiaonian said, her white lips trembling.
It was too late.
It was too late for her, too late for anything.
"I have already recorded Miller's evidence, can you look at it any time, or do you not trust my abilities?" Mu Qianchu lowered his gaze and stared at her, he paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "minuscule thought, who do you think was the person who tried to save uncle?
Was this some sort of test?He was trying to see if the people who had rescued them were people that Gong Ou had sent to inform her.
For the first time, Shi Xiaonian started to ponder over the meaning behind every one of Mu Qianchu's words, she shook her head, "I don't know, how would I know. I only know that my father is dead, and that our mutual recognition hasn't even reached a year yet. I want to cry, but I can't cry... "
By the end, Shi Xiaonian's voice was stuck in her throat, unable to complete the sentence.
Mu Qianchu looked at her in pain, then pulled her into his embrace and patted her back lightly, "Alright, alright, stop crying if you can't. I will always be with you, minuscule thought.""…"
Shi Xiaonian did not push him away as she leaned on his shoulder. Her body was trembling extremely badly and her hands and feet were cold.
Shi Di stood at the side accompanying Xu Bingxin, raising his eyes to look at the two who were embracing each other, she silently lowered his eyes, and did not make any noise or ruckus.
The funeral continued.There were quite a lot of people from Xi Family who came in droves as they walked into the church and bowed towards Xi Jitao's body. They were all very respectful and obedient to Mu Qianchu.
Everyone advanced in batches.
Shi Xiaonian and Xu Bingxin stood by the side with a candlestick in each of their hands. The mourners came forward with trash in their hands and held a white candle in front of them to get a fire from their candlesticks, then they stood the candle in front of them.
The church was full of candles.
The nuns kept chanting, hoping that God would pity Xi Jitao.Xu Bingxin was extremely grieved, but she also couldn't lose the position of manager. She could only force herself to swallow her grievances.
Shi Xiaonian stood by her side, both hands holding a pure gold candlestick, and for some reason, she didn't shed a single tear.
The number of candles on the ground was still increasing at a visible rate.
The lights of the church were not bright. The candles on the ground were flickering with countless candles.
The funeral procedure was long and complicated.
"Bam."A loud noise came from beside Shi Xiaonian, causing him to suddenly faint and fall onto the ground, the candle in her hand was thrown to the side.
The entire audience went into an uproar.
Everyone widened their eyes in shock as they looked over.
"…"Shi Xiaonian lowered her eyes to look at her unconscious mother, and she discovered that she was not surprised at all.
On the contrary, she was the calmest of them all. She stopped someone from forcefully grabbing her mother and calmly said, "No one should touch her. Ask the doctor to come over.""Yes, Eldest Miss."
Xu Bingxin had simply fainted because of being too agitated.
Mu Qianchu carried Xu Bingxin to her bedroom. Shi Xiaonian rejected his escort and said indifferently, "Qian Chu, you go and busy yourself with the funeral. I want to accompany mother."
"Alright." Mu Qianchu did not insist and gave Shi Xiaonian a box of pills, "Take this medicine and try to calm your mind, your aunt has been depressed slightly, when she wakes up, let her eat it, it will make her feel better."
"Thank you."Shi Xiaonian said.
"Then I'll be going out. You should get some rest as well."
Mu Qianchu said, walking out, he extended his hand to pull the door, but he could not help but look inside.Shi Xiaonian stood in front of the bed, her fingers tightly clutching the bottle of medicine. Under her jet-black hair, there was not a single emotion on her face.
The current Shi Xiaonian was like a puppet. Her eyes were lifeless and empty, without a trace of a soul. When she drew, her eyes were filled with spirit energy, but now there was nothing.
Mu Qianchu frowned, then closed the door.
Hearing the door close, Shi Xiaonian turned and walked over to the window. It was already late at night, but there were lights everywhere and people everywhere.
They were all people from the Xi Family.No, they were all Mu Qianchu's men.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the medicine in her hand.
Mu Qianchu gave him the pill.
Shi Xiaonian walked to the front of the bed and sat down. Then, she took out a few boxes of medicine from her bag and placed them on the bedside.As for this medicine …
She opened the drawer and placed the medicine box inside. Just as she was about to close the drawer, Shi Xiaonian saw a folded piece of paper inside.
Shi Xiaonian picked up the paper and opened it.
It was a romantic Italian love motto from my father to my mother.
In the hands of a zealot, they would live with each other until the end of time.
Shi Xiaonian thought that her mother would probably take it out often to look at.Xu Bingxin was unconscious on the bed.
Shi Xiaonian watched her quietly. She seemed to have aged a lot in a night, her face was covered in dried tears and the lines at the corners of her eyes were getting more and more obvious.
"Mother, you must be fine, do you understand?"
Shi Xiaonian said softly, she really could not take a bigger blow.
Her father had left, but she couldn't even be sad anymore, because she still had to think. She kept thinking about what Gong Ou would do if he was here.
She had to think of a way to bring her mother away from here. Then what about Gong Ou, could he have been taken away by Mu Qianchu?
If it fell into Mu Qianchu's hands, what kind of ending would it end up like?
Shi Xiaonian didn't dare imagine.
When Xu Bingxin woke up, she was much calmer than before. Together with Shi Xiaonian, they finished dealing with Xi Jitao's aftermath.
The people of Xi Family withdrew part of their forces from the island.
Walking out of the high city walls, Shi Xiaonian stood by the sea with the urns in her arms. Her black dress was fluttering in the wind, and while holding the urns in her hands, Xu Bingxin blew them into the blue ocean with the wind.
"Why did you spill it in the sea?"
Shi Xiaonian asked. She still had no tears, but her eyes were extremely red, with a lot of bloodstains on them.
Xu Bingxin continued to grab a handful of bones, allowing the ashes to fly through the air.
Hearing Shi Xiaonian's question, Xu Bingxin turned and glanced at her, "In the past, I loved to swim the sea, so your father said that the sea is indestructible. In the future, our ashes will be sprinkled here, and then, we can continue swimming in the direction of the current."Xu Bingxin had a smile on her face when she said that, she looked at the ocean, her eyes filled with yearning, and even her face started to glow.
"Very romantic."Shi Xiaonian said softly.
She had only known her parents for a short period of time. Before this, she had always thought that her parents were related by marriage and that they respected each other like ice. Only now did she understand that there was an emotion that others could not understand.
"Yeah, your father is rarely that romantic, so I remember every word he said."
Xu Bingxin said with a smile. She sprinkled all the ashes in her hand onto the ocean, letting them fly into the water.
Shi Xiaonian stared at the ashes flying in the wind, the blinding sunlight blinded her eyes.
Father left just like that.
She didn't know why she couldn't cry. Maybe she still didn't want to accept the truth. She felt like she was in a dream.It was a very fake dream.
When she woke up from the dream, Gong Ou would kiss her on her eyes, and her father would peel an apple for her to eat.
Xu Bingxin turned her head and saw Shi Xiaonian's empty eyes. Her heart ached a little, and she said gently, "The funeral is over, minuscule thought, don't be sad anymore. Your father left you behind selfishly, but as his daughter, you have to feel happy for him.
"I'm not sorry for my father's selfishness."
Shi Xiaonian said.
What right did she have to blame her father? Right now, she was feeling endless guilt.If it wasn't for her, how could all this happen? If she never existed in this world, Mu Qianchu wouldn't even have anything to do with the Xi Family.
"minuscule thought, feel happy for him. God will protect him." Xu Bingxin said.Shi Xiaonian shook her head, "I'm sorry Mother, I can't get happy."
She prayed that God would protect her father, that God would bring disaster upon her in exchange for the safety and happiness of those she cared about.
"…"
Xu Bingxin looked at her and the smile on his face gradually disappeared, leaving only a sigh.
After sprinkling the ashes, the mother and daughter walked back.
Shi Di and her subordinates were following behind them closely from a distance.Shi Xiaonian asked Xu Bingxin, "Mother, when I came back earlier, I saw what document you signed?"
"It's a document that uses my name to help Mu Qianchu manage the Xi Family."
Xu Bingxin calmly replied without any shrewdness.
Indeed.
The current Xi Family had already changed his surname to Mu.Shi Xiaonian's face did not reveal anything, she only said lightly, "Didn't I say to wait for my signature before coming back?"
Xu Bingxin walked beside her and said, "It was very messy back then, and you couldn't pick up the phone while you were on the plane. Your father's corpse was brought back, and under anger, Mu Qianchu took care of the traitor Miller, but he was not the successor to Xi Family after all.
Yeah.
This time, everything was completely unobstructed.
Shi Xiaonian lowered her gaze, the hand at her side involuntarily grabbing onto her black skirt, she walked forward, and heard a noise.
