Gu Tingchen stopped wearing my seat belt, and I also stared at him in a daze, his eyes full of disbelief.

The assistant sighed and explained: "Mr. Chen fell into the lake last night and was unsuccessful. The Chen family is preparing for the funeral and just invited you."

I murmured, "When is the funeral?"

The assistant said: "Just today."

I asked in shock: "So hasty?"

"After all, Mr. Chen is the illegitimate son who just returned to the Chen family. The people outside don't know his existence at all. The Chen family wants to keep a low profile..."

I interrupted him and ordered: "Jiang Chen, go and discuss with the Chen family immediately. If they are willing to give us Chen Chu, we are willing to maintain a year of commercial cooperation with their Chen family."

The assistant quickly said: "Yes."

After hanging up the phone, I was still in disbelief. Gu Tingchen gently patted my cheek and explained: "I can see that Chen Chu is different from the two sons of the Chen family. His eyes are very clean and he has no great ambitions for business. I asked him why he wanted to go back to the Chen family, and he said there was someone hidden in his heart."

I said with tears in my eyes, "That person is not me."

If Ji Nuan knew that Chen Chu would collapse if he died?

"I know, he was very happy to talk to me about his future. He firmly said that he would marry that girl. I was infected by him, so I chose him in the Chen family. Even if he couldn't get this contract, I planned to compensate him with the Gu family's contract."

After silence, Gu Tingchen sighed: "He has attracted you too. You are willing to use the Shi family's contract to help him. In fact, the road ahead should be easy. Unfortunately, life is impermanent, and he will eventually return..."

Gu Tingchen didn't continue to say anything. I suddenly remembered what Ji Nuan once said to me, "That boy... has a soul like a breeze and a bright moon under the appearance of the flowing air. I understand his fragility, sensitivity, self-esteem and unrestrainedness for love."

The man who was willing to sacrifice his life for Ji Nuan was really gone.

This time it was completely gone.

Thinking of this, I felt heartbroken.

It was already noon when Gu Tingchen and I hurried back to the city. During this period, the assistant called me and said that the Chen family was very willing to exchange the body for a year of commercial cooperation with the Shi family.

However, they also said they would not attend the funeral.

On the way down the mountain, I hesitated for a long time before plucking up the courage to call Ji Nuan. She answered and asked, "What are you doing to call me? Let me guess, are you going to treat me to a meal?"

I shouted at her with difficulty, "Ji Nuan."

Ji Nuan noticed the abnormality and asked me, "What's wrong? Is Gu Tingchen bullying you again? Or is your condition..."

I closed my eyes and couldn't bear to say, "I found Chen Chu. I saw him yesterday morning, and he said he was not worthy of you."

Ji Nuan hesitated and paused for a long time and said, "I know, I understand his fragility, sensitivity, and self-esteem, so I understand him. Sheng'er, he is really the best man I have met in this world. I am willing to wait for him and come to me."

Fragile, sensitive, self-esteem...

In fact, she has always understood him.

So she waited patiently for him.

result……

This is a result that no one expected.

I spoke with great difficulty: "Ji Nuan, I have something to tell you. After listening to it, it is fake that it is not sad."

Any words of consolation I don't work.

Seeing that I was so serious, Ji Nuan asked nervously: "Sheng'er, has something happened to him?"

"Chen Chu passed away last night."

Bang, I heard the sound of my phone falling to the ground.

...

I cried in the car so hard that I couldn't help myself. When I got out of the car, I forced myself to hold back. Gu Tingchen held my arm into Shi's house.

Chen Chu's crystal coffin was placed in the center of the hall. He was lying peacefully inside at this moment, and Ji Nuan was beside him.

Magically, Ji Nuan didn't cry.

She just accompanied him with red eyes. When she saw me, she simply nodded and said, "Thank you."

I felt so uncomfortable when I saw her like this.

Ji Nuan and I have known each other for many years. She is even closer than my family. She and I have been as close as sisters in high school.

She is my only friend in this world.

We know each other, and she understands my love for the man nine years ago, so she asked me three months ago, "Sheng'er, why do you always look so sad?"

She hugged me and said even more: "You always cry for no reason, but he was already yours three years ago."

At that time, Ji Nuan had not found Chen Chu, and although I thought I had obtained that man, I could not get the man's love.

She understands me, and I naturally understands her.

She did not love Chen Chu less than me at that time.

I went over and hugged Ji Nuan gently, like the last straw that crushed the camel. She cried in my arms in a silence.

She kept saying even more: "He is gone... It's really gone this time, Sheng'er, why are I so unlucky? I finally found him... It's not three months since I found him, but he disappeared like this. What should you do if you let me do in the future?"

Gu Tingchen was nearby. He saw us holding a group of gentlemen and turning around. I patted Ji Nuan on the shoulder and heard her say in particular sadness: "I will lose him for the rest of my life."

Ji Nuan now has no hope.

...

I stayed with Ji Nuan for a while before going out to instruct my assistant, "Jiang Chen, I will post a lot for me and invite the most noble people in Wucheng to attend this funeral in the name of Ji Nuan of Shi family. We will hold a funeral that the Chen family will not hold, and we must have a big funeral!!"

Let the Chen family know about Chen Chu's scenery!!

The assistant asked curiously: "What is the identity given to Miss Ji?"

"Executive Director." I said.

The assistant hesitated: "But she has no shares."

"This is our Shi family's own business. If you don't say it, who will know about it? Besides, it's just a shareholding. If Ji Nuan wants it, I can transfer it to her tomorrow."

The assistant immediately arranged what I said. When I returned to the room, I saw Gu Tingchen there. I asked him curiously, "Aren't you busy?"

"I want to give some effort to this funeral."

"Well, you have had a fight with Ji Nuan. I don't know your relationship between you... but Ji Nuan always speaks good things for you in front of me. If you have time, please persuade her more."

Upon hearing this, Gu Tingchen asked with interest: "What good things did she say for me?"

I glanced at him, Gu Tingchen raised his lips and suddenly reached out and pulled my finger and told me: "I want to pick up Luo Luo. Come here to accompany you later. Remember to have a meal, don't treat yourself badly."

His tone was very similar to the state of getting along with an ordinary couple. I silently pulled my hand back and said, "I'll go and accompany Ji Nuan."

As soon as I turned around, Gu Tingchen suddenly called me, "Sheng'er."

Sheng'er...

I remember the first time he called me like this, he said he loved me.

I froze and turned around and looked at him silently.

"Life is impermanent, cherish it when you walk."
