Marriage first and then love: Husband is too clingy

Chapter 159 Attending a Funeral
"Mr. Wen, this is the new contract that Mr. Shen asked you to review. He asked me to remind you that there seems to be something wrong with this clause..." the secretary patiently explained while pointing to a detail in the contract.

But Mr. Wen in front of him didn't react at all, his eyes were dull, as if he had been struck by lightning, and he sat motionless like a puppet.

"Mr. Wen?" The secretary plucked up his courage, shouted louder, and finally made the eyes of the person who was frozen in front of him turn slightly.

Realizing her gaffe, she adjusted her sitting posture apologetically and said, "what's the matter?"

The secretary hurriedly handed over the document in his hand again respectfully, and at the same time asked with concern: "Are you... all right?"

I was taken aback by the warmth. I was so obviously lost and disappointed, but I said that I was fine against my will. It was not only self-deception, but also nonsense.

So she simply explained without concealing: "A relative passed away..."

The secretary seemed to be emotionally affected, and his brows were tightly knit together, and he said softly: "Please forgive me!"

The warmth seems to have exhausted all the strength of the body to force a calm smile, picked up the pen and drew a picture on the suspicious part of the contract, and then said quietly: "thank you. Put the contract first, and I'll look at it later."

Although she and Jiang Shaowei have divorced, Grandpa Jiang and her are not close relatives, but she has called Grandpa Jiang for so many years, and he has taken care of her meticulously for so many years, she has already automatically transferred the old man from her heart. For the ranks of loved ones, always respect and love him.

But God failed, he left in such a hurry, without giving her the slightest chance to respect and give back, so when she suddenly heard the news at this moment, she didn't have the heart to read the contract anymore, and she was very disturbed.

Besides, she thought that she would draw a clear line with the Jiang family in this life, and Jiang Yi and Jiang Shaowei had withdrawn from her life one after another. If she attended Grandpa Jiang's funeral, she would inevitably meet them...

But she can't take care of those embarrassments in her heart anymore. People cannot be resurrected after death, and life and death are the most important thing. Grandpa Jiang has already left, so she has to see him off no matter what.

Three days later, according to the address sent by Butler Jiang, she appeared at Grandpa Jiang's funeral dressed in black.

Because of Grandpa Jiang's high status and authority during his lifetime, and according to Jiang's ostentatious style in Yanjing City, his funeral should be very grand.

But as far as the warmth can be seen, there are only a dozen people outside Jiang's family, plus the pastor, the staff of the funeral home, etc., and very few people came to express their condolences.

Jiang Yi is not here again?What kind of important mission did he participate in, and he didn't even have time to participate in Grandpa Jiang's funeral?

She was a little stunned. In the middle of the spacious churchyard was the mourning hall of Grandpa Jiang. Jiang Jian, Jiang Shaowei and others were kneeling beside a coffin, listening to the priest singing carols.

Perhaps her appearance disturbed the priest's mood, he stopped singing and looked in the direction where she was standing.

Jiang Shaowei and others also looked in his direction, a trace of uneasiness flashed across Jiang Shaowei's face, while Jiang Jian and Jiang Qin looked disgusted.

"What are you doing here?" Jiang Jian stopped her again and asked in a low voice, his face already extremely ugly.

Without squinting warmly, she simply replied, "Attend Grandpa's funeral."

"You are no longer the Jiang family, so you don't need to put on a show here." Jiang Jianqiang kept his voice down as much as possible, for fear that others would hear their conversation.

Warm but unscrupulous, he asked word by word: "is it written at your door that only the Jiang family can attend the funeral? If not, please don't stop me from thinking about an ancestor!"

Her tone was neither humble nor overbearing, her voice was neither high nor low, but it still attracted the attention of everyone around her.

Jiang Jian couldn't hold back his face, and said angrily: "Don't go too far!!"

She smiled warmly and angrily, and said sarcastically: "Are I going too far, or are you going too far? Before I was stopped from seeing my grandpa for the last time, and now I am stopped from letting him go for the last time. I would like to ask the priest to comment on the reason , which one of us is unreasonable!"

Her eyes are cold, her teeth are sharp, and she has a posture of not being afraid of powerful enemies.

Jiang Jian was ashamed, trembling with anger, fisted in the palm of his hand, and his veins burst.

Jiang Qin felt that something was wrong, so she hurriedly stepped forward to hold him, and comforted him: "This is the mourning hall, let her go to worship, and she won't be able to do anything wrong."

Perhaps because of the presence of guests, Jiang Jian snorted coldly and turned his back.

When walking warmly towards Grandpa Jiang's mourning hall, many emotions flashed in Jiang Shaowei's eyes, which were complicated and difficult to understand. He wanted to say something, but in the end he remained silent.

She kowtowed three times in front of Grandpa Jiang's mourning hall, and offered three sticks of incense piously, then silently pushed aside.

There weren't many guests, and she was secretly looking at everything here from the corner of her eye, when she saw Steward Jiang hiding in a corner, secretly flirting at her.

She pretended to be nonchalant and walked around to the back. After throwing away Jiang Shaowei, Jiang Jian and others' eyes fixed on her, she found a secluded corner and asked the housekeeper.

"Miss Wen, if you can come to the master's funeral, the master will know and comfort you..." said the butler's first words.

Warmth is full of suspicion, disapproving of Steward Jiang's official announcement language, and can't wait to ask: "what's the matter? Where's Jiang Yi? Grandpa's death is such a big event, why isn't he present? "

Butler Jiang was stunned by her series of questions. After sorting out his thoughts, he explained: "Master fainted because he received a call from the army. I don't know exactly what happened...but After the master was sent to the hospital, he had already woken up, and his condition improved, but for some reason, the next day it took a turn for the worse, and the doctors were exhausted..."

Steward Jiang still shed a few tears when he talked about his heartache. After all, he had served Grandpa Jiang for most of his life.

The warmth is also very embarrassing, and I feel a little uneasy in my heart. Grandpa Jiang fainted only after receiving a call from the army. Could it be related to Jiang Yi? !

She was guessing wildly in her heart, and the voice of Butler Jiang came again: "Master asked me to call you on the day he woke up. Didn't he tell you what happened later?"

Stunned by the warmth, she replied in disappointment: "but I didn't see my grandpa that day. Jiang Shaowei's father stopped me outside the door."

She wanted to call Jiang Jian's name directly, but after all, the other party was her elder, and Zhihu's name made her feel very uncomfortable, so she had to compromise this name.

The butler was not interested in that kind of address at all. He widened his eyes in shock and asked incredulously, "You didn't even enter the ward? That means you didn't see the master for the last time?"

Nodding slightly tenderly, her brows and eyes are full of remorse and self-blame. If she had known that it was the last time, she should argue with Jiang Jian and others to rush into the ward.

But as if she remembered something, she asked again: "I called you that day, but your phone has been turned off."

"As soon as the master woke up that day, I was called out by the young master, and asked me to bring some changes of clothes for the master. And he said that his mobile phone was out of battery, so he wanted to borrow my mobile phone... I thought to myself that he usually manages The company has a lot of business, so I didn't think much about it, so I gave him the phone... But, when I came back after picking up the clothes, the master was already..." The housekeeper explained in detail, and he couldn't make a sound after speaking.

She frowned deeply and asked, "then you haven't tried to contact Jiang Yi since then? Grandpa Jiang's death is such a big event, should he be notified to come back?"

"The Eldest Young Master said that he has been notified, but the army has regulations. The Second Young Master is a special soldier. During the mission, he is not allowed to contact the outside world privately. Everything can only be discussed after he finishes his mission." Steward Jiang answered everything.

His eyes did not evade, and he could see that he was not lying, but for some reason, there was something wrong with the warmth.

But what is wrong, she has no clue...
