Rose Manor

Chapter 104 Holding a Funeral

More than half a month has passed since the accident, and the official rescue team has already withdrawn, declaring that it is impossible to carry out further search and rescue operations.

The Pei family members did not give up, and used more manpower and material resources to expand the scope and continue to search for Pei Che's traces, whether to see a dead person or a corpse.

Because Shen Jia Nian injured his hand, he took two days off to rest at home. On the third day, he reported to Yan Qiusheng's private villa on time. He couldn't help but take out his mobile phone to search for news during his free time.

News is timely. With so many things happening every day, everyone is attracted by new things. Gradually, not many people pay attention to the follow-up.

There was less and less news about Pei Che on the Internet. In the end, there was almost no new content to be found, and the reports that were found were all ones that had been read before.

They used the same word - no news.

Shen Jianian may not know how obvious her distraught appearance was to others.

"Are you worried?" Yan Qiusheng brought a cup of steaming coffee with milk froth and latte art. A white swan floated on the rim of the coffee cup. "I see you haven't been very focused on practicing the piano during this time."

I was particularly unfocused this morning.

When she made the wrong sounds, he guessed that the girl must be troubled and couldn't concentrate.

He didn't interrupt her at that time, nor did he sound harsh. When it was time to rest, he tried to come over and ask.

If she is willing to talk, he is happy to be a listener, and she can call him "Master" at least. The role of a master is not only to preach and gain karma, but also to provide help in other aspects.

Shen Jianian got up from the stool, clasped his hands, and apologized awkwardly: "I'm sorry, teacher, I shouldn't think about other things while practicing the piano."

A master like Yan Qiusheng was willing to take time out to teach her every day. She should be grateful and concentrate on digesting the piano skills he taught her, instead of being distracted frequently and wasting his energy.

I feel very sorry for him.

Yan Qiusheng pressed his palm down and motioned for her to sit down.

Today he wore a slightly elegant white Chinese-style clothing, with an elegant and elegant temperament. His voice was as gentle as ever, with the meaning of an elder's instructing: "I don't mean to blame you. Things like emotions must be true. It's so easy to control, so there's no need to talk about the seven emotions and six desires. I just want to ask, if you encounter any difficulties, you can talk to the master."

Shen Jianian held the coffee he gave her but didn't drink it, her eyebrows twisted into an untieable knot.

After being silent for a long time, she slowly spoke: "There is a person I care about very much. Now his whereabouts are unknown and the situation is in danger. It may be me who caused this situation. I can't forgive myself. I'm wondering if some things are the same. It was the wrong choice to start with. I really don’t know what to do.”

Despite careful consideration, the words she spoke were still very confusing. She felt that Yan Qiusheng must not understand what she was saying, because even she herself could not sort out her chaotic thoughts.

One thing she has been thinking about these past few days is that the night she returned to Beicheng, she met Pei Che who was drunk at the door of the bar. It was most likely an opportunity given to her by God.

If she had walked over and tried to persuade Pei Che, the tragedy that followed might not have happened.

Sometimes she also reflects on whether the words she said to him in the past were too decisive.

Yan Qiusheng lives an isolated life and rarely reads news on the Internet. He doesn't know anything about Pei Che, so he simply picks up the details from the few words she said and gives his own opinion: "Everyone has his or her own opinions." Don't blame yourself for the misfortunes of others. You also said that it is just a possibility. Since it is not an absolute thing, don't make the worst guess. If you are not sure whether the path you are taking now is right or wrong, then I Let me tell you, even if you are given a chance to do it again, if you change your path, you will still have the same confusion. In this life, people are pushed forward by time amid self-doubt and stumbling. Cherish the moment."

"Cherish the moment……"

Shen Jianian murmured the last four words he said.

Yan Qiusheng said: "To take a step back, so what if you are wrong? You are still young. Allow yourself to make mistakes. The most important thing is to reconcile with yourself. Don't get into trouble and learn to let yourself go."

Shen Jianian looked at the gentle man in front of her and gently pulled her lips: "Teacher Yan, I wish I had known you earlier." If she had heard these words earlier, she might not be blinded by hatred and lose herself step by step.

Yan Qiusheng showed a faint smile and patted her head with his big hand: "Have a rest for a while and stop thinking so wildly."

In the afternoon, Shen Jianian calmed down a little and practiced a new piece of music without making any mistakes.

At around five o'clock, she said goodbye to Yan Qiusheng and came out of the villa.

The driver had already driven in. It was not the Mercedes-Benz that usually picked her up, but one of Fu Jichen's personal cars.

She approached with doubts and saw that the person in the driver's seat was Qu Mo. She opened the back seat door and sure enough, Fu Jichen was sitting inside with his eyes closed and dozing off.

Shen Jianian: "Why are you here?"

Fu Jichen crossed his legs, with black ropes wrapped around his sharp-jointed fingers, and turned his head to look at her. His already deep eyebrows had deep wrinkles due to lack of sleep, making them look even deeper and inaccessible.He simply explained: "After I finish my work, I will stop by to pick you up."

He was very busy these days, starting new projects, having to clear all his joints, and having too many events to count. When he came back in the evening, she was usually asleep.Come to think of it, I haven't had a meal with her in nearly a week.

Shen Jia Nian looked at him intently. This was a villa in the middle of the mountain. How could there be any "drop-in"? Those who came here on purpose were just fine.

"What are you doing standing there, get in the car quickly." Fu Jichen urged.

Shen Jia Nian bowed and sat in the car.

Fu Jichen told Qu Mo to drive, instead of going back to Yunding Palace, he went to a private kitchen restaurant in the suburbs that was very hidden.

The dishes in this kind of private kitchen restaurant are not exquisite, but are natural and healthy.

The lotus root and pork ribs soup is simmered on a low fire, and you can smell a rich aroma when you serve it.Fu Jichen was wearing a formal suit. He unbuttoned the front of his suit and reached for a clean small bowl. In the movement, he revealed a lean wrist bone. The watch reflected a low-key and luxurious glow under the light.

"Drink some soup to warm your stomach first." Fu Jichen put a small bowl of soup in front of her, "Have you not eaten well recently? Why do you look like you've lost weight again?"

He didn't mention Pei Che, but he also knew that she was worried about that person.

"No, I ate quite well." Shen Jianian picked up the white porcelain spoon and took a sip. The soup was delicious. "Are you done with your work?"

"Temporarily." Fu Jichen put on a pair of disposable gloves, picked up a shrimp from the plate, pulled off the shrimp head, and tore open the shrimp shell section by section, "I'm still busy in the next stage."

Shen Jia Nian caught a glimpse of his slender white hands from the corner of her eye and was unconsciously attracted to them. She watched his action of peeling shrimps and found them pleasing to the eye.

Fu Jichen handed a peeled shrimp to her mouth and said without any warning: "My grandpa will celebrate his [-]th birthday next month. The family is planning a big event, and I want to bring you to attend. Let me tell you in advance to avoid you No mental preparation."

Shen Jianian looked stunned, as if he had heard something sensational, and his eyes were filled with astonishment.Looking at Fu Jichen's face again, he looked calm and calm, as if the words just now were not his.

Fu Jichen had already anticipated her reaction. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and touched her pursed lips with the shrimp: "You've been peeling it for a long time. Why don't you give it a try?"

Shen Jia Nian followed the order blankly and opened his mouth, biting into the shrimp he handed over. It was very fresh, without any messy seasonings, and you could taste the unique sweetness of the shrimp meat.

But that's not the point. The point is how he could be so nonchalant after dropping a bombshell.

"I'm not kidding you." Knowing what she was thinking, Fu Jichen simply explained it more clearly to save her from thinking about it on her own, "I'm going to introduce you to my family."

Her accident at the beginning of the year has not been resolved yet. Although he guessed that it was done by a family member, he could not find out who was responsible.

Instead of protecting her tightly, it would be better to bring it to the surface and let those who secretly stare at her see clearly. This is the person he admits. It is best to think carefully before taking action.

Shen Jianian held the bowl with one hand and held the spoon with the other. He seemed to be petrified and did not move for a long time.

Does he have any idea what he is doing?
Shen Jia Nian is self-aware. With her current family background, it is impossible for the Fu family to accept her.

She had been waiting for the day when Fu Jichen got tired of her, when she would take back the Ling Yue Group and reunite with him.This is a matter between the two of them and there is no need to make it known to everyone.

She had imagined countless scenarios in which they parted ways, but she never expected that he would make such a decision.

When the news spread that the Pei family was holding a funeral, the whole circle was in an uproar.

The law stipulates that due to an accident, people whose whereabouts have been unknown for two years can apply to the People's Court for declaration of death. Pei Che's body has not been found so far, so the funeral should not be done so quickly.

Unless the relevant authority proves that the natural person has no chance of survival.

Indeed, the speeding vehicle broke out of the guardrail, fell off the cliff, and plummeted into the sea. It was difficult for anyone to survive.

A close relative of the Pei family revealed that Pei Che's mother, Zhou Ruo, had a dream after she fainted from crying several times. She dreamed that her son was standing at the door of their home, all wet, refusing to leave and not daring to enter.

When Zhou Ruo woke up, she felt that her dead son was giving her a dream, telling her that he could not rest in peace.

The head of the Pei family, Pei Fengnan, was hospitalized due to illness. Not long after he was discharged from the hospital, he suddenly suffered the loss of his son.

Salvage teams were sent out one after another, but no news came. He could only accept the fact that his son was no longer alive, follow his wife's advice, and prepare for his funeral.
