Chapter 147: Kiss the Monument
Chapter 147: Kiss the Monument
The most distinguished young master of each family died. Not only people from Qucheng, but also many people from abroad rushed to pay their respects overnight.
But many of them did not shed a tear for Zhu Huaining. Their purpose was only to find out about the future of the Zhu family and to see who would be in power in the Zhu family so that they could take sides.
"It's a good thing that our Xinxin is not with him." Pei's mother was dressed in black and was looking in the mirror to see if her pearl necklace matched her clothes.
"So, a blessing in disguise." Although Pei's father knew that Pei Xin was the one who let Zhu Huaining down, the phone call was too embarrassing for him as an elder.
But fortunately, the only outsider who knew about it is dead, so Pei Xin’s scandal can be covered up.
Mother Pei put on the necklace and came over, sitting next to Father Pei: "Actually, I think the Zhu family's Huai Jing is not bad, he's just eight years older than Xinxin, and he knows how to care for people when he's older."
"Mom!" Pei Xin, carrying a suitcase, pushed open the door and strode in with a dark face, "What are you talking about here!"
Mother Pei was a little embarrassed when her daughter heard these words, but she quickly became confident and said, "What? Did I say something wrong? The most important thing for a woman is to have a reliable home."
Pei Xin disagreed. After being hit by Zhu Huaining, she finally understood: "It would be stupid to rely on men for happiness."
"Pei Xin, how do you talk to your mother like that?" Pei's father also looked displeased, but how could the spoiled Pei Xin shut up at this time?
"Zhu Huaining's body is still warm, and you're already talking behind his back. Aren't you afraid that he'll come looking for you tonight?" Pei Xin said sharply, "He could have made a big fuss about the Canada incident, but he didn't. We should be grateful to him for that!"
"Pei Xin, what's your attitude?" Pei's father stood up and raised his arm towards her, but Pei Xin was not intimidated at all and walked forward with her face held high: "Hit me, I tell you, I'm pregnant now! Hit me and try!"
Just one sentence made Pei's parents turn pale with fear.
"Xinxin, are you serious?"
"Really." Pei Xin raised her palm-sized face and didn't think there was anything wrong at all.
"You shameless thing!"
The Pei family was in chaos. Pei's father found something handy to teach her a lesson, and Pei's mother cried and wanted to contact a doctor for an abortion. But Pei Xin didn't care about all this. She threw her suitcase and went to Zhu Huaining's funeral.

Song Xiaobai sat in front of Lin Xia Ning's door, walked around and sighed, but couldn't help knocking on the door, and carefully tested: "A Ning, are you hungry? Come out and eat something."
There was no answer in the room. Song Xiaobai lowered his head in frustration, feeling a little guilty. If only he had been there at the time, he would have been able to protect them. Maybe Zhu Huaining would not have died, and An Ning would not have been so sad. Thinking of this, he raised his hand and wiped away his tears.
It's all his fault!
There was a noise coming from the entrance. Song Xiaobai turned his head and saw He Yue and Luo Yilan walking in dressed in black.
"Hasn't she eaten yet?" Luo Yilan asked in a hoarse voice.
Song Xiaobai shook his head. He Yue saw that he was blaming himself, so she reached out and touched his head to comfort him: "You have done a great job. There are many things that we cannot stop."
The three of them stood in front of Lin Xia Ning's door, not knowing how to start. Finally, He Yue stepped forward and called her name, "A Ning." She chose her words again and again, "Zhu Huaining's funeral is about to begin."
Still no sound.
Song Xiaobai was very scared: "Will Ning be in trouble?"
Luo Yilan was also worried and was about to say a few more words of advice, but the door was opened the next second.
Seeing Lin Xia Ning slowly walking out, Song Xiaobai's jaw dropped in shock: "A Ning, you... are wearing such a big skirt."
Wearing a holy wedding dress with a long train, Lin Xia Ning was enveloped in soft light.
"A Ning?"
Lin Xia Ning smiled at them, but then felt that her forced smile was too ugly, so she simply stopped smiling.
"Let's go, let's go see Zhu Huaining."
Lin Xia Ning said softly.
The funerals in TV dramas are all in drizzle, with mountains covered with green grass and erected tombstones. The rain hits the black and white photos, making it difficult to see the faces of the deceased friends.
But it didn't rain today, instead the sun was shining brightly.
He Yue and Song Xiaobai lifted Lin Xia Ning's skirt and walked up the stairs, watching Zhu Huaining's smiling face in the photo become clearer and clearer.
He is still so cool and smiles so casually.
No one noticed that Luo Yilan stopped. She looked at the tombstone from afar with red eyes. She didn't dare to move forward. All the tragedies were because of her. She was too ashamed to see him and could only bow deeply from a distance.
There were already two people standing in front of the monument, they were Yue Zhou and An Su.
Even though everyone was dressed in suits, An Su's face was covered with tears and snot, and he didn't look handsome at all.
"You're here?" Yue Zhou came over and looked at Lin Xia Ning's thin face, "I'm sorry that you had to wait until now to come and pay your respects."
Lin Xia Ning shook her head: "I know you don't want me to argue with his mother again."
Her voice was hoarse, and she must have cried for a long time in the sleepless night. Yue Zhou smiled at her: "You look very beautiful today."
"Thank you."
Lin Xia Ning raised her head and smiled, so lively and bright, but this smile was like a knife in the eyes of everyone. He Yue turned her eyes away, tears fell, and she quickly wiped them away. She didn't want to be seen by Lin Xia Ning.
She was afraid that if she cried, her Aning would also cry.
He Yue and Song Xiaobai put down the hems of their skirts, Yue Zhou and An Su also consciously stepped aside, and everyone looked at the white wedding dress brushing against the steps.
Lin Xia Ning stepped back towards her lover after ten years.
After looking at the familiar face of her lover for a long time in front of the monument, a tear fell at her feet. Lin Xia Ning bent down and raised her hand to touch the photo affectionately: "Zhu Huaining, we agreed to get married, so I came here in my wedding dress."
Her trembling hands betrayed her voice, which she tried hard to keep steady.
It turns out that people are so small, so small that they can be just a photo, so small that they can become inconspicuous sand, and when the wind blows, there will be nothing left.
Lin Xia Ning regretted very much. Why did she push him away again and again before? Why did all her courage turn into nothing in front of Zhu Huaining?
Why is it that the ending that she tried so hard to rewrite has now become a small monument, mocking her here?
"Zhu Huaining, you always said I was a big liar. I lied to you that the rice was cooked even though it was half-cooked. I lied to you that I sprained my ankle because I didn't want to climb the stairs." Lin Xia Ning's tears flowed across the corners of her curved mouth as she recalled the past. "But the biggest lie I've ever told in my life is that I don't love you."
The people behind him were already sobbing. These words were too profound for Song Xiaobai, but he was crying hard too.
They stood in the sun like this, each of them looking at Zhu Huaining's smiling face in the photo with red eyes, listening to Lin Xia Ning recounting her memories.
"Zhu Huaining, the happiest thing in my life is that I finally wear a wedding dress for you." Lin Xia Ning choked up again, but she still tried to smile brightly at Zhu Huaining's tombstone, "This... can also be considered marrying you."
She tilted her head slightly, and her soft lips fell on the cold tombstone, chilling her to the bone.
After a long while, she lowered her head, lowered her voice, looked at the tombstone and swore silently: I will definitely avenge you, I will definitely...
Want to kill Chen Song.
