.Chapter 42.

In the evening, the relatives of the Ruan family who drove all the way from Beijing to Jietai Temple waited for two hours in the living room of the Peony Courtyard, and got a message from Ruan Xiangling: "Everything about this funeral will be simple, and only a small funeral will be held. A wide range of ritual activities, no fanfare of the memorial. So everyone can go back first."

Those who had already made up their minds were in a hurry, and none of them left. They talked around Ruan Xiangling in the living room.

"Simplify everything? How can this be possible! Your brother was overwhelmed with grief and made this decision in a moment of confusion, right? It stands to reason that this is our young mistress who is the head of the Ruan family, and her status in the family was higher than yours before she was alive. This one After returning to the West, the funeral has to be handled in the most solemn way. Cong Jian can't explain it to her! Anyway, she was carried into the house according to the "eight big sedan chair" specifications. It has been reported for a week. It is too unreasonable to send people away in such a hasty way."

In fact, Ruan Xiangling had also argued with Ruan Yuan on this issue before, and Ruan Yuan finally said that this was Ke Ke's last wish, which blocked Ruan Xiangling's mouth.

Ruan Yuan is an infatuated kind. Back then, she almost severed ties with the Ruan family because she wanted to marry Li Keer. Ruan Xiangling knew her younger brother too well, so she had to follow him at this time.Only when he calms down and his emotions calm down can he have the opportunity to communicate with him.

"It's Ke Ke's own idea, and A Yuan said to follow Ke Ke's meaning. If you guys really feel that you can't get over it, and the etiquette is not enough, you can stay. The spiritual seats in the Buddhist hall are set up, and you guys go to kowtow Right. Tonight we are going to watch the big night. Our family and A Yuan will watch first. You guys will take turns to watch in the next few days. In the next few days, your family will take turns to change people."

The Ruan family believed in Buddhism a lot, and Li Keke died in a Buddhist temple. It is logical that the memorial service after his death will follow the Buddhist method.Buddhism pays attention to the reincarnation of life and death. There are seven rules for the deceased to help the deceased complete the six reincarnations and find their own destiny so that they can be reincarnated as soon as possible.

There are many eminent monks in Jietai Temple, and Ruan Yuan loves Li Keer deeply. As early as the first time he received the notice of critical illness, he thought that if Li Keer really passed away one day, he must do the highest standard for her. He had heard that Li Ke'er, who sent a white-haired man to a black-haired man without heirs, had a lot of karma.Only the eminent monks can recite the scriptures and help her save her life, so as to eliminate some of her karma.

A group of members of the Ruan family followed Ruan Xiangling to the Buddhist hall, and it really looked like a mourning hall inside.Li Keer slept peacefully in the coffin. Above the coffin was a photo of Li Keer's youthful portrait in front of her. Around the coffin, there were three full circles of white roses.

The use of white roses is due to time constraints, and the season of white chrysanthemums is not right, so they have to be shipped by air.However, Ruan Yuan has already placed a big order, which has been airlifted from all over the world.

Several people respectfully bowed and kowtowed in front of the coffin, and then lined up to burn incense one by one, waiting to have a few words with Ruan Yuan.Ruan Yuan was still in a state of being lost, and there were too many trivial things in one night, which made him almost out of breath.At this time, I don't want to talk to anyone, I just want to sit quietly beside the coffin and look at my beloved woman who is sleeping soundly.So those people were waiting in vain, and Ruan Yuan didn't respond when he went up to say hello.

Everyone sees that there will be no show tonight. Fortunately, after kowtowing, I went to Ruan Yuan's special assistant to see the future schedule.Li Ke'er's body was only kept in the temple for one night, and when the gate of the temple opened early the next morning, the funeral parlor's car would take him to the ice storage in Babaoshan, and then cremate him on the first seven days.Then the ashes were brought back to Jietai Temple for the abbot and other eminent monks to continue to save them.

Some scheming people decided on the spot with their assistants to come to guard the spirit, which can be regarded as a show of loyalty in front of Ruan Yuan, the boss of the Ruan family. This is all thanks to Ruan Jinwen. Shili developed his own wings and took over all those who were not firm at the time. Would they still be guilty of using their hot faces to stick to people's cold asses when they are old?After all, they are all people who want to go back to the Ruan family and hang around again.

After finishing these things, we made an appointment to go out.As soon as he stepped out, he saw Ruan Jinwen who had just finished burning the gold paper and came back from the incense burner.This is big news. This person has been missing for more than half a year. It is said that he lost more than 40 billion in Hong Kong. Ruan's internal rumors are that this kid has never dared to show his face in order to avoid debts.Now that Ruan Yuan returned to Beijing on the front foot, he showed his face on the back foot. It really makes people have the urge to tell him a few words.

Someone smiled and said to him, "Yo, you're in a hurry? You're pretty quick. Come to ask your uncle to be your backer?"

The person next to him who knew something inside elbowed the person who spoke earlier, "Hey, what news are you talking about? The debt was paid off a few months ago, this amount." Then he spread his palms out and wrote with the back of his hand facing upwards. Pen.

"Oh, there are quite a few. Your uncle was abroad to help your aunt to treat her illness. On the one hand, he had to worry about the illness, and on the other hand, he also worried about his nephew who was not able to live up to expectations. No wonder he has been so haggard these days."

"Don't tell me, if I lose so much, I won't have the face to go home."

"Don't talk, don't talk." Seeing that Ruan Jinwen didn't move, someone on the side tugged at the hems of the two men who were talking, and winked at them, letting them see Ruan Jinwen's expression.

Ruan Jinwen used to be a well-known little bully in Beijing. If you are the king of heaven, if you ride on his head, he will think of a way to kill you.At this moment, he stopped in his tracks. He was still babbling a moment ago and really thought he would come up with his fist.The two of them dodged back, and one of them didn't stand firmly on the stairs and just pinned his feet.Fortunately, someone supported him, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground and sat down.

Ruan Jinwen just glanced sideways at the group of them, without opening his mouth, stepped into the Buddhist hall, not even willing to fart on the group of people.

This sudden arrogant attitude pierced the hearts of this group of people, and they were so angry that they clenched their teeth, and they all scolded: "What the hell, leaving the Ruan family and leaving your uncle is nothing. No, I really thought I could secure the position of President Ruan. No, I was kicked out before my butt was hot. I still have the face to show off in front of the elders."

Ruan Jinwen turned back again and stood in front of this group of people. His eyes were burning like a torch, and his eyes were locked on the faces of this group of people. A cold word "Get out" came out.

At that moment, the group of people were all stunned in place.Although the person in front of them was still the Ruan Jinwen, the little overlord of the Ruan family they knew before, but now everyone felt that he was different.I can't tell what it feels like, the boy who exploded at the touch of a touch in the past is slowly detaching from the man now.They also wanted to use his recklessness to make him lose his words and deeds on such a solemn night.I want to use my own words to stimulate him to clamor and jump to make a fool of himself.But now it seems that they are the only ones who are excited and climax in this little provocation.In the same way, the only ones who lose their status and lose their sense of proportion are themselves.

That night, both Ruan Jinwen and Ruan Yuan stayed up all night.

Ruan Yuan regularly offered incense and walked through the scene with the monks who were chanting scriptures.But most of the time he was guarding in front of the coffin, and from time to time he would touch Li Ke'er's already cold corpse with his hands.

Ruan Jinwen sat on the ground next to the pillar, and when Ruan Yuan finished offering incense, he went to kowtow to Li Keer, and then took the gold paper from the practice to the incense burner outside the Buddhist hall to melt it.

That night, the uncle and nephew didn't get together to talk, and each of them was full of melancholy and sadness in their hearts.

At seven o'clock the next morning, the car of the funeral home showed up at the gate of the Peony Courtyard of Jietai Temple.

Several staff members got out of the car and went through the formalities for handing over the remains. After getting the death certificate issued by the doctor, they asked Ruan Yuan to sign several forms, and then carried Li Keer's coffin out.

Naturally, Ruan Yuan wept dizzily and grabbed Li Keer's coffin several times without letting go.The emotions at the scene were exaggerated to be very sad, and even Ruan Xiangling, who had a normal relationship with Li Keer, sobbed softly.Only Ruan Jinwen, who has been expressionless since last night, followed the staff's command with a sad expression to stop the crazy Ruan Yuan.

People are naturally still driven away by cars, and they will naturally be reduced to ashes.

In the end, the eminent monk in the temple came out to enlighten Ruan Yuan, chanting the theory of reincarnation of life and death in front of him.

Ruan Yuan endured for three days, probably overly sad, and passed out during a ritual activity of the Ksitigarbha Sutra.Later, Ruan Xiangling forcibly sent her to the hospital to be put on an intravenous drip for a day.

Ruan Jinwen probably got used to insomnia some time ago, and he was the only one who insisted on watching the big night in the first seven days.

In fact, he still has a little-known secret.

On the first night, he met a great monk at the incense burner.Ruan Jinwen was smoking after burning the gold paper, when the great monk came to chat with him casually.He suddenly remembered Jian Tianxi, and asked the great monk how to get rid of the karma if he indirectly killed others because of his own reasons.

The great monk told him that he could copy scriptures for the dead or chant scriptures and chant Buddha's name.The monk does not know the specific situation of this family, but only knows that they are the most wealthy in the capital. They have actually come into contact with this kind of rich and noble family. This kind of family is in that high position, and there will be some unconventional and rebellious things. Humans are actually full of sinful obstacles, but there are very few people like Ruan Jinwen who dare to say it out loud.

Seeing that he has the fate of Buddha, he reminded him a few more words, so that he would not feel too sorry, and told him that it might be because he and the other party were destined for three lives, and there was a bond in life, so they collided together for cause and effect Well, what he wronged in this life will definitely be paid back in the next life.

Because of this sentence, when Ruan Jinwen burned incense and kowtowed to Li Ke'er that night, he also burned a stick of incense and kowtowed to Jian Tianxi.But what he didn't know was that the object of his burning incense was still alive and well at this moment.

***

Jian Tianxi waited in Mr. Du's manor for about ten minutes, and finally Ah Kun was brought to him by four or five big men.

On the day of the negotiation, Jian Tianxi's car had some problems on the road, and when he arrived at the gold mine, it was already blocked.He was fine, but his Malay friend Dan was seriously injured.

On the same day, he was flown back to the hospital in Malay for treatment. Of course, Jian Tianxi accompanied him all the way. During this period, he called the resort hotel to contact Ruan Jinwen, but the hotel staff said that the boy had taken Ah Kun out.As a last resort, he asked the hotel staff to leave a message to Ruan Jinwen, saying that he would be back after leaving for a week or two.He didn't say anything about the explosion, because he was afraid that Ruan Jinwen would be worried.

I didn't expect this kid to be lucky, he didn't call himself for a few days.

Then, the phone was taken by someone in the Malay hospital, and the connection was completely cut off.

Ah DAN came back from the death line, and it was two weeks after he woke up and got out of the ICU.Jian Tianxi stayed in Malay for another three days, seeing that Dan was getting better, he left Malay and flew back to the Philippines.

He was obsessed with the boy who was waiting for him to go back in the resort, and even on the plane, he still thought about how he scolded himself for leaving him alone. For this reason, he bought a large box of gifts after getting off the plane .

Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the resort, I was told that this kid and Ah Kun had gone out and never came back.

Jian Tianxi was furious right away, because this kid had a previous record of being trafficked by human traffickers, so the first thing he thought of was whether he would be captured by human traffickers, but he didn't expect that when he arrived at Mr. Du's manor, he wanted to beg Mr. Du The news I got when I helped made me feel like I was struck by lightning.

"Mr. Jian, I think the cost you invested in that kid is a bit overrun." Mr. Du spoke very implicitly, telling Jian Tianxi that Ruan Jinwen was not familiar with him, and he was not worthy of being nice to him.Of course Jian Tianxi knew that there was something in his words, so let him speak directly.

Mr. Du whispered a few words to his subordinates, and then said to him, "I don't like to speak ill of people behind their backs. There are some things you should know the truth about, and I'll let him tell you."

After that, Akun was escorted to Jian Tianxi.

All afternoon, Akun was crying, hugging Jian Tianxi's thigh, tears and snot running down his face.In front of Jian Tianxi, he repeatedly assured that he would not betray Jian Tianxi.Akun is still very loyal, he has not forgotten Ruan Jinwen besides clearing things up for himself, and he also assured Jian Tianxi that Ruan Jinwen has absolutely no intention of betraying him.It's just that I just want to tease him.

In fact, Jian Tianxi really hoped that what Akun said was true, but in fact Ruan Jinwen did go to Mr. Du.

After Mr.Du took out the chat recording between Ruan Jinwen and himself that day, Jian Tianxi walked out of the assumption he had set for Ruan Jinwen.

For the first time, his face was gloomy and gloomy like a black-faced god, and he put his hands away at the window, thinking about something silently.

Mr.Du poured him a glass of whiskey, told him to suppress his anger, and then asked him with a smile: "The gold mine here will be controlled by you JS from now on, don't you want to celebrate our cooperation?"

Jian Tianxi took the wine glass and drank it down. After a short breath, she replied with a cold voice: "It's too late to celebrate. Hurry up and finish the work to be handed over. I'm going to...Beijing once."

The author has something to say: Jian Tianxi: I heard that you burned incense for me?

Ruan Jinwen nodded obediently.

Jian Tianxi: I also heard that you kowtowed to me?

Ruan Jinwen nodded again.

Jian Tian was silent for a few seconds.

Said: Can I knock a few more?

Ruan Jinwen looked puzzled: You're not dead, I'll knock you off!

Jian Tianxi: Husband and wife bow to each other, shall I bow to you too?darling.
