Chapter 1214 - The Funeral Started

Chapter 1214 The Funeral Started

“Yes…”

Lin Che said, “That is why I still think that something is amiss, especially since it was Xue Mengqi who first discovered it.”

“You’re right, but we still need to wait for the investigation to complete. Rest first before you think more about it.”

Lin Che looked at Gu Jingyu. “Thank you.”

“No need to be so formal with me.”

Lin Che felt blessed that he stood on her side.

The clan relatives were against her for their own benefits, but many of her friends still stood on her side. This already made her happy and appreciative.

For Gu Xiande’s death, the funeral had to be perfect.

Gu Jingze was occupied over the few days, helping in every minute and large-scale matter in the household. The funeral matters were finally settled.

Gu Jingze went out early in the morning and returned home late at night. He barely had any time to rest.

Lin Che waited until the wee hours of the morning when Gu Jingze would finally come home.

Lin Che hurried over and passed him shoes to change into.

He bent down and pulled her up. “Don’t trouble yourself.”

She said, “Lean back. Let me help you soak your feet.”

If it were her feet, they would probably already have been swollen from being so busy. It was best to give his feet a good soak.

Gu Jingze said, “You don’t have to go through all this trouble.”

Lin Che looked up. “Shouldn’t the wife serve the husband?”

But it seemed to always have been the other way around…

Gu Jingze also realized that she had been all talk and no action.

Of course, he was actually very happy to look after her normally.

He said, “Fine, fine. My wife is finally making herself useful.”

“Right.”

Lin Che ran to get water. She returned with the soaking water, which was yellow and emitted a herbal scent.

He put his feet down and Lin Che slowly massaged the base of them.

“Does it feel nice?”

“Hm.”

He looked at her, not used to others touching him. He had never really been massaged either.

It was a little ticklish but still felt nice.

Her slender fingers did not have much strength in them and definitely was not enough to him. But it felt good to him because it was Lin Che massaging him.

She smiled and asked him, “Is everything arranged now?”

“Yes. The burial will be at our family’s cemetery. You’ve been there before. There is a plot of land set aside for Grandfather’s peace yard. Everything else is prepared. Some relatives are also rushing here from various places.”

“The funeral is going to be big, right?”

“We don’t plan on letting outsiders attend the funeral. It would attract too much attention.”

If they let outsiders attend, there would be countless people turning up.

Gu Xiande’s name was widely known outside. The admirers, the curious ones, and the busybodies would all want to take this chance to get close to the Gu family.

A wave like this in C Nation would attract a lot of attention.

The Gu family had always kept a low profile. They definitely would not like this kind of attention.

Lin Che said, “This period is going to be tough.”

“Yes.”

Lin Che’s heart ached. Looking at him from here, she let him rest and soak his feet a while longer.

There was nothing else she could help him with. It was not her position to interfere in the Gu family’s affairs at this moment. She could only handle whatever was on her own side.

She also made sure that he didn’t have to worry about anything at home.

She did her best, just hoping that it would help him a little.

As Gu Jingze rested there, he fell asleep soon after.

She watched him. He always appeared so energetic, as if he never felt lethargic at all. Looking at him now, she could tell that he really hadn’t slept well in the past few days.

She sat there, not wanting to wake him up.

She only took a towel to wipe his hands and face.

Normally if someone touched him, he would have already jumped right up. It was clear that he trusted her entirely. Thus, knowing that it was her now, he didn’t budge at all, no matter what she did.

She only hoped that he would be able to rest well after this was all over.

She sat there and thought about the funeral. She hoped that no problem would arise then.

—

At the funeral, the attendees were all Gu family’s relatives and some close friends. Outsiders were not allowed to enter.

After a few days of adjustment, the clan relatives also no longer looked so sad.

But now, they still pretended to cry and shed a few tears, acting as if they were extremely heartbroken.

In comparison, Gu Xiande’s true relatives were extremely calm.

Soon, Gu Jingming and Yu Minmin arrived.

Followed by the presidential guards, the crowd split into two. Gu Jingming walked in and the clan relatives clamored to greet him.

Then, Gu Jingyu also arrived. He entered with Mu Wanqing, who was extremely sad. Although she knew that this day would come, she had lived with this old man for decades. Thinking about it would still make her emotional.

After that, Gu Jingze arrived. When he stepped in with Lin Che, the clan relatives gazed at Lin Che with hatred on their faces.

“She still has the cheek to come.”

“Murderer.”

“How shameless to turn up here.”

She was clad in a long, black dress with a white flower on her chest. Standing beside Gu Jingze, the pair had serious expressions on their faces.

Everyone could only talk. They naturally would not really do anything to her.

Especially when the Lu family arrived behind them.

Gu Jingyan and Lu Beichen walked together. Lu Qinyu naturally came as well. They looked at Lin Che and went to her side.

Watching the three of them, the clan relatives kept their mouths shut. They knew that talking bad about Lin Che here definitely would not benefit them.

The Gu family were in black and white today.

After sitting down, everyone waited for the funeral to begin quietly.

It was serious but not that tragic. After all, funerals in big clans were not like those of normal families that would be filled with wailing and crying. Here, it was firstly solemn and secondly poised. Any form of sorrow was suppressed.

After some time, before the proper ceremony began, everyone took a break and had some refreshments.

Lin Che and Yu Minmin sat at the back. They heard someone ask, “When is it starting?”

“It’s probably going to take another hour. Not everyone is here yet. Some have just arrived from overseas.”

“Ah, let’s play a game.”

“What are you playing?”

“Ray of Light. It’s a mobile game. You can try it too.”

Lin Che turned her head to see the people behind playing Ray of Light. At the side, Xue Mengqi watched and asked, “Everyone is playing this game.”

“Yes, yes. It’s quite interesting and it kills time.”

Xue Mengqi said, “It’s all the rage now. I’ll have to see if we can get a collaboration with them.”

They still had no idea that the creator of Ray of Light was right in front of them.

Lin Che scoffed deep down in her heart. Xue Mengqi wanted to collaborate?

Forget it. Over her dead body.
