Chapter 53 Family Conspiracy Theory
I hurriedly left the room. At this time, there were already many people in the villa. Everyone was dressed in black suits or black skirts, and they gave the deceased great respect.
When I found Ji Nuan, she was sitting on the swing in the back garden, wearing a dignified black cheongsam with delicate dark patterns embroidered on it. Her hair was tied up, and a small white flower was tied in her ear. At this moment, her eyes were dull looking at the peach blossoms that had just bloomed in the tree in front of her.
The breeze blew by, and the petals fell on her body with bright dazzling eyes.
I went over to pick the peach blossoms on her body, but I didn't know what to say to comfort me at this moment. Everything I said seemed futile. After all, the man lying in the coffin had loved her for the rest of her life.
I thought about it and patted her on the shoulder and said, "You have to hold his funeral in person. Giving him a glorious funeral is more important than anything else. Ji Nuan, we must let the Chen family know his importance."
Ji Nuan asked a little confused: "Chen family?"
I explained to her one by one that Chen Chu was the illegitimate son of the Chen family. When he heard this, Ji Nuan immediately guessed: "Achu did not die in the accident, because he is more cautious than anyone else, and will never let himself be in any accident. Sheng'er, do you know the family conspiracy theory?"
I have never experienced the family conspiracy theory mentioned by Ji Nuan, because I am the only child in the Shi family. Although I have never experienced it, I heard that children in the family use any means to fight for property.
I pursed my lips and asked, "Do you suspect the Chen family?"
Ji Nuan said with red eyes and extremely confidently: "I see that everyone is suspicious now. I will never believe that he died by accident, but I can't find any evidence now. If you have anything to do after the funeral, I will definitely find out the truth!"
I held Ji Nuan's shoulder and comforted her and said, "Okay, you must find out the truth for him."
Ji Nuan closed her eyes and said, "I'll go see him."
I watched Ji Nuan leave, her back swaying slenderly. She was a very beautiful girl. Her love has always been pure. I thought Chen Chu was dead before, so I would rather be single than love her for the rest of my life.
In her life, she has experienced two great sorrows and pains of losing her lover.
One is young, and he used his life to block the car accident and lose both legs for her.
One is the age when both of them are mature.
An age who thought happiness would come eventually.
But we all know in our hearts that he would never be able to come back this time.
I covered up the sadness in my heart and went to find the assistant. At that time, he was arrange for the guests to sit down. When he saw me, he hurried over and asked with a respectful voice: "Mr. Shi, do you have any instructions?"
"There may be other truths about Chen Chu's affairs, please pay more attention to this matter for me."
After a pause, I asked curiously: "Have you visited Chen Chu yesterday?"
The assistant nodded and explained, "Yes, as you told me, I quickly sent the Shi family's contract. It was getting late at that time, and the Chen family was brightly lit. Many people gathered in the hall, as if they were discussing something. From a distance, I heard a disdainful voice saying, "He is not the Chen family's species, why do you want him to come back? I think it should refer to Mr. Chen. At that time, Mr. Chen was sitting in a wheelchair with a calm expression. I quickly went in and broke the atmosphere and told Mr. Chen that we always wanted to cooperate with him."
I frowned and asked, "What was the reaction of those people at that time?"
"The faces are different, and most of them are shocked. People from the Chen family came forward to ask me what I came here to do." After thinking about it, the assistant said truthfully: "I can't stand the way they bullied Mr. Chen, so I deliberately said that we always had contact with Mr. Chen in the afternoon. We felt that Mr. Chen was calm, easy to handle things, and did not want to fight. When we were there, we always had several big contracts that we wanted to sign with Mr. Chen."
I have a certain understanding of the board of directors of the Chen family. The Shi family’s contract is specifically connected with Chen Chu, which can stabilize Chen Chu’s position in the company because the board of directors is full of old foxes. They don’t care who is the boss, and it doesn’t even matter if they change dynasties. Whoever can make them earn enough money will support whoever they support.
Obviously, Chen Chu won the favor of the Shi family last night.
And before this, Gu Tingchen helped Chen Chu very much.
In the eyes of other people in the Chen family, Chen Chu has the resources of Shi Gu and the two families.
I have a bold guess that someone in the Chen family has murdered him.
But this is just a guess from me, and there is no evidence.
I asked the assistant to investigate the Chen family and wait for a while to hand it over to Ji Nuan. I thought about it and told me: "In the future, Ji Nuan will be like me. You should do your best to help her whatever she asks you to do. Jiang Chen, she is my very important family."
The assistant replied: "Yes, Mr. Shi."
The assistant went to arrange a constant stream of guests. Looking at these people, I remembered myself a few months ago, but I was lying in the coffin, and I was the one who came to mourn.
Gu Tingchen just said: "Life is impermanent, cherish it when you go."
What does he want to remind me?!
I sighed and returned to the room. Gu Tingchen was gone, but he left a small note beside the bed, "I have something to do temporarily. My mother is seriously ill. I will fly back to Nanjing later."
I took the note and put it aside, took off my shoes and went to bed.
I didn't sleep all night last night, and I fell asleep with my pillow.
It was already night when I woke up again. I was so hungry that I felt so painful. I got up and changed my clothes and went downstairs. There were not many people in the hall, filled with white wreaths with eulogies praising Chen Chu.
At this moment, Ji Nuan knelt in front of the coffin with her head hanging down.
Diagonally opposite her was a man with a cold face. He was particularly handsome, wearing a black orthodox suit, which made him look tall and powerful, with a stunning temperament revealed on his body. He wore a valuable Rolex on his wrist, and he was a man who looked very noble at first glance.
I asked to myself, "Who is he?"
The man also saw me. He nodded slightly to me, then turned around and left the hall. I followed him out and saw him leaving the Shi family directly, with a firm and steady pace.
I was puzzled for a while, then went downstairs to persuade Ji Nuan to have a meal. She shook her head and said she couldn't eat it.
In the evening, she kept Chen Chu for one night, and the next day she was very in poor spirits.
Chen Chu was going to be buried in the morning, so we all went to the cemetery. At the funeral, I saw the man I saw yesterday. He took a white kapok flower and left in front of the tomb.
Before leaving, he looked at Ji Nuan with meaningful eyes hanging down his head.
I whispered to the assistant, "Go investigate him for me."
The assistant looked over and looked at the person I was talking about. He was stunned and raised his awe-inspiring look and said, "Mr. Shi, I know who he is. I will give you the information when the funeral is over."
