Jiang Bolin explained to her: "Ayao, I have already gotten rid of the company affairs, and you have a good relationship with Mr. Gu. After thinking about it, I think it is most appropriate for you to go to our house."

"But..." Jiang Bolin and Old Man Zhang looked at each other, "I don't know when the Gu family plans to hold the funeral, so it's not a good idea to go there rashly."

"Tomorrow." Zhong Yao said.

"Ayao, how did you know?"

Zhong Yao sighed slightly.

When I was a child, I was wandering with my master and Gu Siyan. One time, we passed through a valley. Because it had rained heavily for several days in a row, the road was difficult to walk on even when the weather was clear, so we stayed at a villager's house for one night.

At night, when we were lying on the roof of the bungalow, counting stars and chatting together on a mat, the children were making a lot of noise and kept clamoring to catch fireflies. The adults were afraid that they might slip and get hurt, so they diverted their attention and told the children a story.

Ghost story.

A ghost story about a funeral in the middle of the night and a black cat bumping into a coffin.

The children were so scared that they no longer clamored to catch fireflies. Instead, they shrank into the arms of adults in fear, feeling that there were ghosts everywhere.

Gu Siyan didn't have any special emotions, but he took note of the incident.

He said: "From now on, if someone in our family dies in the middle of the night, we must hold a funeral the next day."

Lin Xiu was so angry that he beat him up. "There are only four people in our family, your mom, your dad, and A Yao. Who are you trying to curse to death? Don't say such unlucky words."

Zhong Yao knew it at that time.

Chinese people are very taboo about life and death, if you say something unlucky you will be beaten.

Therefore, Gu Siyan would not set up the mourning hall in the middle of the night. Given how much he hates the Gu family, it would be difficult for him to show up at the funeral.

"Because Gu Siyan didn't tell me, so it must be tomorrow." Zhong Yaohu said.

Thinking of how close Zhong Yao and Gu Siyan were on the day of the family reunion party, Jiang Bailin felt that this was true. Since Gu Siyan hadn't told A Yao about this, there would definitely be no action tonight.

Mr. Zhang nodded: "Zhong Yao is reliable, I will listen to her."

"But tomorrow..." Mr. Zhang looked at his sons and daughters in confusion, "Who of you is free tomorrow?"

The two sons spread their hands together, "We don't have time, Dad. We have at least a dozen meetings tomorrow."

Qi Tang's mother also shook her head and said, "I'm going on a business trip tomorrow. Did you forget the business you personally approved?"

Mr. Zhang had no choice but to look at Zhang Yuanqing, "Grandson, what about you?"

Zhang Yuanqing also shook his head: "Grandpa, there will be a bidding tomorrow, and it will be with the Zhao family. Are you willing to give it to someone else?"

As soon as Mr. Zhang heard it, he refused, "That won't work."

Only Qi Tang and Song Yaoyun were left present.

Old Master Zhang still shook his head: "Yaoyun is busy too, and Tangtang still has to go to school. Let's talk about this matter when we get back. There are so many people at home, so we can just send someone important to go."

Zhong Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Grandpa Zhang, why don't you let Qi Tang go? The two of us will go and deliver a piece of yellow paper. It won't take long."

Butler Jiang was stunned for a moment, "Second Miss, people in the capital usually send wreaths, paper money from the Tiandi Bank, etc. As for yellow paper..."

Zhong Yao didn't quite understand it. Anyway, when her father passed away, Senior Brother Jiang asked her to burn yellow paper, and all the friends in the dungeon also gave her yellow paper. Later, Zhong Yao also bought gold and silver foil paper and folded many gold and silver ingots to burn for her father.

There were also various paper-made televisions, cars, etc., all of which were burned.

She even placed a pair of plastic golden boy and jade girl in front of her father's grave. She still remembered that when she was moving the golden boy and jade girl over, she accidentally hit the golden boy's face, and the plastic face became dented. She insisted on having his face restored, fearing that her father would lose face in the grave carrying the disfigured golden boy out.

Thinking about it now, it was less than four years ago, and I was really naive and stubborn back then.

But there was one thing she was sure of: "The Tiandi Bank's currency is counterfeit and it is not circulated down there."

"What?!" everyone exclaimed.

Zhong Yao waved his hands helplessly, "Each place has its own customs. Let's ignore this for now. Just give him a piece of yellow paper."

Mr. Zhang: "Is this okay? Isn't it too perfunctory?"

"No, don't worry."

Of course Mr. Zhang was relieved. Not to mention the relationship between Zhong Yao and Gu Siyan, just look at the relationship between Tangtang and Zhong Yao as classmates, and the relationship between the Jiang and Zhang families. Zhong Yao would not harm them.

Thinking of this, Mr. Zhang waved his hand and agreed, "Then I'll trouble you to bring Tangtang with you tomorrow."

"No trouble."

The two families said goodbye and agreed to send Qi Tang to the Jiang family early the next morning and set off for the Gu family with Zhong Yao.

After arriving home, Zhong Yao happily called Gu Siyan, and the call was quickly picked up on the other end.

"Xiao Lin, have you heard about it too?"

"Well, Master is pretty quick in his actions."

Gu Siyan smiled and said, "Father doesn't have much patience. Dadashi was the one who did the most to Father, so he was singled out. The others were also caught one after another and none of them could escape."

Yue Guang sighed helplessly. His master was still the same as always. He would never waste words unless he took action.

Zhong Yao: "Where is Master?"

Hearing this, Gu Siyan lowered his voice and said, "I'm in the room reading the notebook my mother left behind."

Zhong Yao opened his mouth and asked, "Are you crying?"

Gu Siyan: "That's for sure."

"Alas." The brother and sister sighed in unison.

"Xiao Lin, I really didn't expect this result. I really thought my mother was still alive. I didn't expect that my father had already guessed this result, but he still tried to live with hope. This is human love, like a puzzle that is hard to figure out."

"Maybe you'll understand when you meet the person you like, right?"

Gu Siyan had a blank expression on his face, as if he was determined not to get involved in love: "Xiao Lin, are you saying that there are other people in this world who are genderless like me, who are not only good at both inner and outer cultivation, but also have both hardness and softness, and who have the same androgynous temperament and beauty as me?"

Zhong Yao asked sincerely: "Do you have any shame?"

Gu Siyan: “…”

He cried, "I don't know if I can understand this kind of feeling, but Xiaolin you really have no heart. How can you treat me like this~~~"

Zhong Yao wanted to hang up the phone. It was really unbearable when a male mother started to act like a spoiled brat.

"Will you go to Dadashi's funeral tomorrow?" she asked.

Gu Siyan didn't shed a single tear and immediately retracted his fake crying expression: "Does he deserve it?"

"I knew it." Zhong Yao sighed, "Not only will you not go, but if the people who come to pay their respects simply go to the funeral tomorrow, it will be fine. But if someone uses the funeral as an excuse to try to build relationships with the Gu family, you will put all of them on your cooperation blacklist, right?"

"Xiaolin, you are really smart."

"……I knew it."
