When Jiang Yanjing heard Ye Qingyan's voice, his dull eyes slowly changed.

"I don't know why I feel so sad," he said.

Jiang Yanjing hated him when he was a child. After his mother died, the reason why he agreed to return to the Jiang family was to get his mother's share.

Mr. Jiang was very strict with him and asked him to compete with his eldest brother Jiang Xushen.

He was even happy to see the two of them fighting, and the servants were not allowed to break up the fight, as if they must compete with each other.

Only later did he understand what Mr. Jiang meant by doing this, and he wanted to verify that he was right.

The Jiang Xushen he brought out was better than the Jiang Yanjing raised by their mother.

After Jiang Yanjing saw the facts clearly, he no longer had conflicts with Jiang Xushen, and their relationship gradually improved.

Jiang Xushen also gradually understood the reason, and the relationship between the two of them and Mr. Jiang became more and more distant.

Jiang Yanjing originally thought that when Mr. Jiang left, he would not have any mood swings.

When he heard the news at that moment, he couldn't relax.

When he saw Mr. Jiang lying there quietly, his heart felt very sad. He didn't understand why he had such a reaction.

He couldn't figure it out and got himself into trouble, unable to extricate himself.

It wasn't until he heard Ye Qingyan's voice that he slowly came back to his senses.

Ye Qingyan patted Jiang Yanjing's shoulder, "I understand, you can cry if you want."

He didn't have a deep relationship with Mr. Jiang, but after all, he was raised by Mr. Jiang, so it was impossible for him not to have any feelings.

"Yanyan, why is this? Why do I feel uncomfortable and want to cry?"

Jiang Yanjing looked like a homeless child, with red eyes asking Ye Qingyan for the answer.

"Jiang Jiang, he raised you. You are not a machine, you are a human being with flesh and blood and feelings."

"I should hate him. If it weren't for him, my mother would not have died."

Ye Qingyan hugged him tightly, "Jiang Jiang, I'm here, cry if you want, no one will laugh at you."

At this moment, all Jiang Yanjing's anger and unwillingness came out in an instant, swallowing him up and turning into tears.

Ye Qingyan slowly patted Jiang Yanjing's back to comfort him.

Jiang Yanjing leaned on Ye Qingyan and grasped the only light in the world.

Not long after, Jiang Xushen and the housekeeper walked in, followed by several staff members.

The staff put Mr. Jiang in the box and carried him out.

Jiang Xushen walked to Ye Qingyan and said, "Please take care of Yan Jing. It may take us a while to get back."

Ye Qingyan did not agree, but looked at Jiang Yanjing beside him.

He nodded and did not offer to go together. He did not want to see Mr. Jiang turn into a handful of loess in front of him.

Jiang Xushen followed and left, leaving the butler to deliver the invitation.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening when Mr. Jiang's ashes were returned. Ye Qingyan and Jiang Yanjing did not have a meal at night and kept sitting there.

Relatives are needed to keep vigil at night, and Jiang Yanjing's father hasn't come back yet. It's still doubtful whether he can make it tomorrow.

The three of them sat in the cold mourning hall, no one said a word, and they spent the whole night like this.

As soon as it dawned, guests came to the door one after another. The housekeeper and Jiang Xushen were outside to welcome the guests.

Ye Qingyan stayed with Jiang Yanjing in the mourning hall, and guests came in one after another to burn incense and pay their respects.

She saw a familiar figure. Xu Shishi was wearing white mourning clothes and her face was still pale. If Xu's mother hadn't supported her, she might have fallen to the ground in the next second.

Xu Shishi walked to Ye Qingyan with the support of Xu's mother.

"Yanyan, thank you for your hard work."

Ye Qingyan did not marry into the Jiang family. She could have not participated in this matter, but she did not expect that she would still stand here to thank the guests dutifully.

"It's okay. You just woke up and you shouldn't stand for a long time. Sit down."

The servant brought a stool and put it aside. Xu Shishi hesitated with her eyebrows and sat down at the insistence of Xu's mother and Ye Qingyan.

Some of the guests Ye Qingyan knew, some he didn't, and most of them were powerful people in Country C.

Everyone's face was a bit serious, some of them were Mr. Jiang's friends, and their eyes were already red.

The memorial speeches read out by people of high moral character and respect are basically things that Mr. Jiang has achieved in his life.

When the time came, the people who had a good relationship with Mr. Jiang took a car to the cemetery.

Mr. Jiang's ashes were buried and a tombstone was erected, with the great achievements of the old man's life on it.

Until things were about to end, a man came over holding a black umbrella.

Some people recognized that the man was Mr. Jiang's son Jiang Yijin, and they thought this man would not show up.

Jiang Yijin placed the flowers in his hand next to the tombstone, put away his umbrella, and bent down to bow.

A pair of sharp eyes made it difficult to fathom what kind of mood he was feeling at the moment.

Jiang Yijin walked to Ye Qingyan, "You must be Ye Qingyan, the person Yan Jing likes."

Jiang Yanjing's eyes turned cold and he protected the person behind him, "You can tell me if you have anything to say."

The corner of Jiang Yijin's mouth curled up slightly, "You're a protector. When are you going to get married?"

"The time has not been set yet."

"Settle this matter as soon as possible so that you don't think about it day and night."

"Do you still need to tell me?"

Ye Qingyan's eyes were full of confusion. He didn't expect that Jiang Yanjing and his father got along like this, which was surprising.

Jiang Yijin didn't say anything more, but walked towards Xu Shishi.

Ye Qingyan was left in a daze. She looked at Jiang Yanjing and hesitated to speak.

"What do you want to ask?"

"The way you get along with him is so strange."

"That's the kind of guy he is, don't pay attention."

Jiang Yanjing hated that cowardly father. If he had been on their mother's side, those people would not have taken advantage of them, and their mother would not have died in the fire and been burned alive.

Ye Qingyan only realized after seeing the look in Jiang Yanjing's eyes that he hated Jiang Yijin.

But there is also some family affection in his heart, so he responds when Jiang Yijin speaks.

Jiang Yanjing has always been silent when dealing with people he doesn't like.

Jiang Yijin and Xu Shishi left after reminiscing.

Jiang Xushen helped Xu Shishi to Ye Qingyan, "He went back to that place again."

The place where Jiang Yijin stayed was a place where the couple had traveled before, and it was also the place that Jiang Yanjing's mother longed for most.

Jiang Yanjing said coldly: "Let him."

Jiang Xushen looked at the awkward Jiang Yanjing, feeling a little helpless, but in the end he didn't say much.

When they returned to Jiang's house, most of the guests were gone, leaving only a few of their friends.

When Yu Cheng saw Ye Qingyan and the others coming back, he wanted to step forward to comfort them, but was stopped by Zhao Yan.

Several people said a few words and left one after another.

Yu Cheng, who left Jiang's house, didn't understand why Zhao Yan stopped him, and he asked why.

"Zhao Yan, why did you stop me just now?"

"Jiang Yanjing and the others need time to calm down after what just happened. It's better not to disturb them yet."

Yu Cheng felt that what Zhao Yan said was reasonable, so he did not argue with him.

He also knew some things about the Jiang family. He didn't like Mr. Jiang very much, but his sudden departure made him a little surprised.

It's like one never knows who will come first, tomorrow or the accident.
