Chapter 124 Money grabbing
Chapter 124 Money grabbing
When Shi Lei's stepfather heard this, he rushed to the crematorium room yelling, but he watched Shi Lei being pushed into the crematorium. Just as the cremator was about to close the furnace door, the stepfather rushed over to pull Shi Lei out again. However, because there was oil in the furnace, Shi Lei's clothes had already begun to burn.
The stepfather watched as Shi Lei's clothes on his chest were burning, revealing five stacks of hundred-dollar bills on his chest. He rushed over and grabbed the coins and threw them on the ground regardless of the fire, but the coins burned very quickly. The stepfather paced back and forth and finally put out the fire, but only a small amount of money was left.
The stepfather took the remaining money without even looking at Shi Lei. Juzi followed her stepfather into the crematorium. She silently gathered the coins that had turned to ashes and put them on Shi Lei's chest. The cremator then put Shi Lei into the crematorium again.
Orange shed tears silently and was driven out by the staff.
The stepfather said to Juzi angrily: "Why didn't you tell me that Shi Lei was rich?"
Juzi said, "How could I have thought that you didn't take out the money? After all, he has called me dad for more than ten years, didn't you even wipe him down or change his clothes? It was only when I saw his mother just now that I remembered that he said he wanted to take his mother to the hospital, and then I remembered his money."
Seeing his stepfather's frustrated look, Orange felt both relieved and sad.
Orange was in a very bad mood at night and didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night.
The girl took Shi Lei's arm and walked forward happily, while Juzi was chasing them hard from behind. At this time, a donkey cart came from a distance, and Shi Lei jumped on it with the short-haired girl.
Juzi was so anxious that she wanted to pull Shi Lei down, but the donkey cart quickly ran away. Shi Lei kept waving at her and said: Juzi, go back. My lover and I are going to travel around the world. This is my dream. I am very happy. Don't be sad.
Orange shouted anxiously: Come back.
Orange woke up in a hurry. She looked out the window in a daze and then smiled. Then she started to cry while smiling.
Orange couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, and lost three pounds in a week. The fat that he had gained back with great difficulty disappeared again.
Juzi was sitting in the library in a daze. Qiao Lieque came to Juzi silently. Juzi looked at him and said, "I'm fine."
Qiao Lieque said, "Let's go out for a walk."
Qiao Lieque took Orange to the river bank, where there were many people strolling. Qiao Lieque walked slowly with Orange.
After a long time, Orange said, "Do you know? That day was his 20th birthday. He was very happy and said that he must be an excellent fashion designer and design beautiful and cheap clothes so that all poor people can wear fashionable clothes. It was me who killed him." As he said that, Orange squatted on the ground and burst into tears.
Qiao Lieque also squatted down, patted her on the back, sighed and said nothing.
Juzi cried until she was hoarse. An old lady passed by and said to Qiao Lieque, "You are such a heartless young man. Can't you comfort a girl when she is crying so hard? It's no big deal. Why are you hurting her like this?"
Qiao Lieque didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why did someone always say nonsense in the name of good intentions? But this also successfully stopped Ju Zi from crying.
Qiao Lieque pulled Juzi up and held her in his arms, gently patting her back with his hands.
Orange lay quietly in Qiao Lieque's arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, and suddenly felt calm.
Orange murmured, "Qiao Lieque, thank you!"
Qiao Lieque let go of Ju Zi and held her hand instead, whispering, "Let's go home."
Orange said "hmm", and the two of them slowly walked back.
