Epiphanies of Rebirth

"Crack-"

Listening to the sound of the shutter, Lin Jingzhe seemed to be calm, but her back was so tense that her back was going stiff.

Mr. Fang said that he would give him a commendation. He always thought it should be a pennant or a certificate of merit. No one told him that it would be such a serious event!

He sat stiffly in the huge venue, which seemed to be a domestic anti-smuggling activity commendation celebration, filled with representatives from all sides, and even members who were bandaged and plastered.Everyone was solemn and solemn, and the whole audience stood up at the same time during the majestic national anthem.Lin Jingzhe subconsciously followed and stood up, staring blankly at the black and white photos on the background board of the stage. Most of the young men and women in the photos are wearing police uniforms, smiling and upright, but they are destined not to be able to see themselves Witness the victory of this battle.

The campaign against smuggling began with the first shot in Qunnan, and spread rapidly across the country in the next year or so. While countless lawbreakers were arrested, more illegal business chains were damaged here, including cultural relics of huge value. In a capsized ship.

Automobiles, tobacco, jewellery, metals, grain and oil...affected many areas, and the rampant lawbreakers were severely eliminated. Enforcers have strong confidence.

From the corner of her eyes, Lin Jingzhe caught a middle-aged man in military uniform with a plaster cast on his arm and iron bones. After the salute, he looked at the photo on the stage and secretly wiped his tears.He had an indescribable emotion, and he was still extremely heavy until he was called to stand up.

The previous people on the stage were all participants who had contributed a lot in all aspects of smuggling, but his reason for being invited was the inexplicable "cultural relic donation".Compared with those contributors who gave everything with their lives, even though the donated bronzes were worth a lot, Lin Jingzhe still felt that he was not standing upright.He is not as noble as these people, and he has never paid special attention to cultural relics and smuggling cases in his two lifetimes. At most, he is just a commentator on current affairs, and he is still not very distracted.He didn't even remember such a magnificent event at this time in his previous life.

He felt ashamed of this, and believed that his visit was probably just a formality. Unexpectedly, when the host announced his name, when he stood up on the spot, the applause in the venue was more enthusiastic than when the last one appeared on the stage, and it lasted for a long time. interest.

Lin Jingzhe felt bewildered, looked around, even many people in the first row turned their heads to look at him kindly.

Mr. Fang sighed to Zheng Cunzhi: "It can be regarded as seeing this day, otherwise I will always have something in my heart."

"Without Jingzhe's batch of antiques, our crackdown would not have been organized so smoothly. Don't say you are worried about it, just look at the eyes of Mr. Zhou and the others." Zheng Cunzhi smiled and pointed to the front row of the venue, and then The old man's smile became a little more serious, "Mr. Qi was hospitalized a few days ago, did this get mixed in? I heard some bad rumors outside recently."

"who?"

"That kid from the Qi family." Zheng Cunzhi snorted, "We are having a lively event now, and his previous affairs in Qunnan haven't all been over yet, and now I don't know who has brought it up again, and the details are detailed. .And his Zhenxiong real estate seems to have some financial problems, and he owes a lot of debt."

Mr. Fang shook his head: "Treason in the nest, seeking skin from a tiger, that's the end."

It is a sad thing for the old people in the compound that a child who grew up under his nose has gone on a road of no return. Zheng Cunzhi saw that Fang was in a bad mood, so he quickly changed the subject: "Xiao Lin took this Commendation, the investigation of the task force should be upgraded, right? A national treasure donor who promoted the comprehensive process of smuggling was assassinated by a suspect suspected of smuggling, and Shi Nanxing must not be able to escape this time."

******

He was right. After the commendation event for the first battle against smuggling, the focus of the car accident changed immediately.After the meeting, many heavyweight participants who participated in the crackdown began to pay attention to Lin Jingzhe, the trumpeter who fired the first shot. What role did Shi Nanxing play in the smuggling group that Qunnan wiped out? Although he hid it secretly, he should know The people are well aware.Knowing that the two of them are in a fight, and they are playing games behind their backs, and it is difficult to distinguish between them, many people are angry. How can there be such a lawless thing in the world?

Shi Nanxing looked at the daily newspaper in his hand with red eyes. This is the most widely spread and best-selling paper media in the country, but now the headlines have been obsessed with the same point for three consecutive days.

-"National Anti-Smuggling Task Force won the first battle, and the celebration commendation conference was held in Yan City a few days ago to pay tribute to the heroes" -"The youngest person to be commended-a national treasure-level treasure donor with an estimated value of hundreds of millions"

- "There are many difficulties in combating smuggling, and the donor of the national treasure has been assassinated"

Shi Nanxing smashed the newspaper into a ball and smashed it on the ground.

These news had already spread across the country in a very short period of time, and Shi Nanxing's friends in the southwest all called to inquire about it.The gossip tabloids on Hong Kong Island had reported all kinds of negative news about him before, causing a lot of uproar. Now, although the regular media in China did not mention his name, insiders can tell at a glance that the "assassination donor" mentioned in the newspaper is real. Who is "fierce" alluding to.There are many layers of turmoil, and the Shi family members are all busy with it recently, and they are already exhausted. Because of the existence of Sha Peng, he has not even dared to leave the door.

The matter has reached this point, it is irreversible, and he has no other thought but to leave this land.It's a pity that Qunnan's sea routes in the past have been wiped out, and he and his family have no reliable connections to other cities' departure channels.

Old Master Qi said he would let go, so he turned back, leaving the Shi family to face this dead end alone.I heard that the truck driver who was questioned and investigated in the task force has shown signs of letting go, and it may not last long. A few days ago, the old lady of the historian was almost desperate, and instead persuaded her grandson to turn himself in and plead guilty: Although the murder case is certain, Lin After all, Jing Zhe didn't die, and they tried their best to sentence Shi Nanxing to ten or eight years.

Shi Nanxing did not agree, there is a possibility of getting out, why should he go to jail?

The old lady found a circle of old friends, but no one answered, she had better put down the phone and cry and scold the newspaper editor exhaustedly.

The room was dead silent, and the phone rang suddenly after being quiet for several days, so that the family who were used to the coldness of the door could not even react immediately.

The old lady rushed forward immediately, and when she heard the voice on the other end of the phone, she felt that the sky above her head was bright, and she grabbed hold of a straw and begged for help.

The old man Qi's tone on the other end of the phone was worse than when he told them to leave in the hospital that day, but he didn't have an attack strangely, he just said in a low voice amidst the faint cries of the old in-laws: "You take that little brat to the hospital. "

This obviously means that there is a door.After putting down the phone, the whole family was shocked. Shi Nanxing tossed Qi Kai's head, and they were familiar with the old man's temperament, and they all firmly believed that the two families would break off.Looking at the only son in the family who was confident, Shi Mu couldn't help asking, "What did you do to make him relax?"

Shi Nanxing adjusted his clothes with a sullen face: "His most precious thing."

The Shi family was preparing to go out as if they were filming a spy war drama. Before going out, Shi Nanxing suspiciously asked people to check the car that had been in for a long time. Before the car left the garage, he pulled up the curtains of the back seat tightly. Involuntary.

Hearing that Sha Peng has left Southwest, Shi Nanxing is not sure where the other party will go, but it is likely to be Yanshi.

He cut off all his contact methods announced to the public, just to avoid the other party's eyes and ears. The previously agreed payment deadline has exceeded, and he must be more cautious before leaving the country completely.

The old man in the intensive care unit was still the same, he seemed to have recovered a lot, and he was in good spirits, staring at Shi Nanxing with his cloudy eyes that were particularly sinister and sharp.

The historians originally thought it was a reconciliation ceremony, but the facts were obviously different from what they had imagined.

After a strange silence for a long time, Mr. Qi's old voice rang out: "You released those things about Qi Kai's past, right?"

Shi Nanxing smiled slightly, found a chair and sat down beside the hospital bed under the stunned gaze of his family, and began to peel apples for Mr. Qi.

Old Master Qi smiled angrily: "You are very smart, you know that you still have to attack Qi Kai to persecute me. It is not in vain to waste my teaching you for so many years."

"I said that once some boats get on, they can never get off." Shi Nanxing looked down at Apple, avoiding the sight of this former family member, and said in an unhurried tone, "What's more, I still stay I didn't take out the first-line things, such as things about you, and it's all rotten here."

He patted his belly.

This was an extremely straightforward threat. Mr. Qi coughed violently, took a sip of water during a short break, and asked hoarsely, "What do you want?"

"I want to go." Shi Nanxing finally met his eyes, burning like fire, "The farther the better."

The historian doesn't have this ability, but he knows that old man Qi has it. When the Qunnan incident happened, it was the old man who contacted the country for him.It's just that the departure that time was temporary, but this time, the time limit is permanent.

Mr. Qi is already disheartened, and it doesn't feel good to be threatened by a child who was so beloved in the past. He really doesn't understand that he has been prosperous all his life, and at the end of his life, how could he end up like this?

He hated him as much as he loved him back then, but for the sake of the overall situation, he had no better choice than to give in.

Shi Nanxing was not surprised to hear an affirmative answer, but he was surprisingly not very happy. The feeling of emptiness became more obvious. Under the disgusted eyes of Mr. Qi, he got up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he finally asked He saw the familiar figure that he hadn't been able to see today: "Where's Qi Kai."

The old man replied calmly: "Recently, the wind has become tight, so I sent him outside."

*****

Of course, the way the old man contacted was different from ordinary smuggling. He found a huge foreign-funded cruise ship and let Shi Nanxing mix with tourists to fish in troubled waters.

The historian emptied all the funds on the books, and the women even sold some of their jewelry and converted all of it into US dollars for Shi Nanxing to carry with him so that he could register a new legal account with the fake ID there after going abroad.

Under the shadow of the cruise ship, the Shi family cried into tears, and even his strong father wept vertically and horizontally. Only Shi Nanxing looked up at the majestic hull and saw the dawn of the future in his eyes.

"Let's go." After the hug, Father Shi straightened his son's coat with eyes full of reluctance, "After you go out, remember to live a good life. Don't contact your family for a short time, we will find a way to contact you."

"Now that you're gone, when will we meet next time? Grandma doesn't have many years to live, and I don't know if I can see you again before she dies." The old lady wept and stroked her grandson's cheek, thinking about what would happen next. He also took off the gold bracelet on his hand, stuffed it into Shi Nanxing's pocket, and murmured, "Alright, my grandson must be safe and live a long life."

"Xing Xing, mother please, let's turn ourselves in, we'll just stay in prison for a few years, at least our family will have a chance to visit you, why did we go so far?"

Shi Nanxing gave his mother a hug, and pushed her away with the more surging tears: "I'm leaving."

The women chased after them in small steps until they were blocked from the boarding passage.

Shi Nanxing handed over the certificate calmly, and raised his heart when the other party was examining it, and finally landed until the other party let it go.

After he put his luggage into the cabin, he went to the deck and bowed his head. His family members were still waiting there, but they recognized him at a glance from an extremely long distance and waved desperately.

In the evening, the cruise ship started, which gradually opened up the distance between the tourists and their relatives who saw off on the shore.

The Shi family stood there all the time, from the size of a tiny grain of rice until it disappeared.

Shi Nanxing looked at the gorgeous coastline in the distance, the salty sea breeze was blowing in his face, and the noisy and excited screams of the tourists filled the entire deck.

Shi Nanxing quietly leaned on the railing, like an ordinary tourist, all the life of the land behind him came to mind in the past, strange to say, he had gone abroad many times before, but even if it was the first time, there was no current situation. Full of complex emotions.

He was silent for a long time, and finally opened his arms to welcome his new life.

Go to fucking prison!

******

On the shore, the old lady of the historian who was crying so hard was finally helped into the car by her son and daughter-in-law who looked away.

Life seems to be an absurd TV series, and every moment is staged a scene of reunion and parting. They may be the most unfortunate part of the characters. They never even got applause. line of sight.

Fortunately, there were people paying attention to their performance in the distance. Xiao Chi watched the black car go away, and then turned his eyes back to the sea. He turned to the phone and asked, "Have you confirmed his room number?"

"Confirmed, 6006."

Xiao Chi repeated it, then hung up the phone, and glanced at the co-pilot: "Did you hear that?"

Shen Tiantian didn't look like she was in front of Lin Jingzhe at all at the moment, her face was gloomy, and she took out her mobile phone and started calling.

After calling three or four times, she finally finished the arrangements, hung up the phone and scolded her mother: "Shi Nanxing, that bastard, was caught by me, and his family of old bastards and little bastards are still dreaming of him, I can't resist the idea of ​​sitting in prison for two or three years, bah! If he doesn't die, I can't sleep well."

Xiao Chi didn't speak. Shi Nanxing had a complicated background and a treacherous style. He was a unique disaster.The other party is staring at Lin Jingzhe now, and once he misses, there will always be a time when he will achieve his goal, but as long as the Shi family is still there, they will definitely try their best to keep the other party.

If it weren't for the helplessness, he wouldn't want to make such a bad move, but he didn't expect to run into Shen Tiantian on the plane to Shanghai.

this girl...

Xiao Chi said in a deep voice after a long time: "Remember not to tell Jing Zhe."

Jing Zhe is different from them. Although he is also scheming in the mall, he is a law-abiding and good citizen with a sense of social responsibility.At the smuggling team commendation meeting last time, he was sad for many days because of the photos of the heroes who appeared on the stage. He also took the lead in organizing a donation event in the Yan City real estate circle to condolences to the families of the sacrificed law enforcement officers. Recently, he has been busy with this. .

When Shen Tiantian heard his brother's name, she immediately faltered with a sinister expression, and then forced herself to roll her eyes: "What can I say to my brother, treat me as a fool."

The Shi family's car drove away, Xiao Chi started the car, and left the parking lot, his slender fingers resting on the steering wheel, and the green cuff buttons on his suit jacket attracted Shen Tiantian's gaze.

Shen Tiantian pursed her lips and looked at it for a while, then coughed, and sorted out the pink little angel heart pendant around her neck from the sweater seemingly inadvertently.

It seemed that Xiao Chi didn't even glance at him. After a turn, the afterglow of the sunset shone through the front windshield. He called out, "Tiantian, help me get the sunglasses in my bag."

Shen Tiantian said wtf?Such light is worthy of wearing sunglasses?

But after all, the partnership was happy just now, so she helped open the bag to save face.

In the next second, Shen Tiantian froze.

In Xiao Chi's bag, the accessories are all neatly placed in a long box. Open it, except for two sunglasses that seem to be the same style as her brother, the small grids on the edge are all made of various colors and materials, shining brightly tie clips and cufflinks!

Wait, her brother didn't buy this box, did he?

This style is very trendy, obviously not a bag that is sold in China...

Shen Tiantian silently picked out a pair of glasses and handed them out, Xiao Chi put them on very naturally in the dim light of the evening, then looked sideways at the rearview mirror outside the car, revealing his neatly tied curly hair.

Shen Tiantian: "..."

Convinced!Convinced!Is it not enough to kneel down to the US emperor?

******

When the cruise ship sailed into the high seas, Shi Nanxing completely let go. After a short period of reluctance, he chose to numb himself with alcohol, and got drunk in the bar where the cruise ship carnivaled all night.

He stumbled and touched the deck in the night, staring at the starlight in a daze, and suddenly caught a familiar figure from the corner of his eye.

"Qi Kai?!" He was half sober, and in disbelief stepped forward to grab the opponent who wanted to run away, "Why are you here?!"

Mr. Qi clearly said that he had sent the other party abroad to avoid the limelight!

The other party tried to break free under his restraint, but Shi Nanxing held on tightly, recalling the news he released to the outside some time ago, and suddenly realized: "You are also restricted from leaving the country?!"

"Fuck you!" Qi Kai didn't expect that he would be so unlucky. He obeyed his grandfather's orders and hid in the room secretly throughout the day, but he could be caught when he came out for a breath at night.Hearing Shi Nanxing's question, he was furious: "You have the guts to ask? Who the hell am I banned from leaving the country for?"

The limelight of the incident in Qunnan before has obviously not completely passed away. Recently, some attention has been picked up because of the celebration and reward of the special team. In order to force the old man to take action, Shi Nanxing released a lot of messy news outside. After suffering for him, the consequences of economic crimes are investigated. Even if he saves his life, he will at least suffer a lot.

Mr. Qi had to plan a way out for him, but he was restricted from appearing legally, and now that the rumors are tight, he might be caught sneaking out of the country and be taken into custody for trial, so he had no choice but to make a bad plan.

Shi Nanxing didn't seem to feel guilty at all, but he also realized the cause and effect, and smiled sarcastically: "Interesting, I said, why did the old man agree to send me abroad so easily? So it's his mother who wants to use it as a shield for you? He's pretty good at it." , so you have no risk at all, even if I am caught in the end, no one will know that you are on this boat... Haha, the treatment of grandchildren is different."

"Get lost." Qi Kai frowned upon hearing the sour words, shook him off in disgust, and adjusted his coat with a frown.

Shi Nanxing smelled of alcohol and wanted to pester him, but Qi Kai was full of resentment, so he couldn't hold back and punched him.

The two began to wrestle, and Qi Kai yelled and scolded: "You fucking have the nerve to question me?! Did you think about me when you didn't have enough money to run away secretly? Did you think that I would be in danger in China?"

Shi Nanxing gritted his teeth for the opponent's escape route that was arranged by his family until now: "Don't fucking talk about Shapeng!"

There was a sudden burst of applause in my ears, and a pleasant male voice came from the head: "So Mr. Shi still remembers me? This really touched me."

The moment they heard this mandarin with substandard pronunciation, Shi Nanxing and Qi Kai were startled at the same time, and after a while they raised their heads in disbelief.

Sha Peng's kindly smiling, slightly feminine face came into view. The other party was squatting on a nearby bench, his soft hair was blown by the sea breeze in the night. It was clearly a very pleasing picture, Shi Nanxing But it was as if he had seen a ghost, with a frightened expression on his face.

"Does Mr. Shi miss me? I miss you very much." Sha Peng's smiling eyes turned away from Shi Nanxing and landed on Qi Kai, his brows raised unexpectedly, "I didn't expect Mr. Qi to be here, but just right, Let’s talk about the old days together.”

*******

There was a mess of tinkling bells in the ward, and Mr. Qi's blood-red eyes widened: "What did you say? Say it again?"

"Qi...Qi Kai is missing, and he is with Shi Nanxing." The young man who came to report tried to bear the panic and repeated, "The room and the entire cruise ship were searched, but they were not found. According to eyewitnesses, there was a similar ship that night. The sailing boat approached the cruise ship, but it disappeared quickly, and we found this in Si Nanxing's room..."

The other party tremblingly took out a long box and opened it.

When Mr. Qi saw it, his whole body trembled violently, his mouth opened loudly, but he couldn't utter a coherent sentence.

In the long box of black flannel, there is a dried poppy on display!

*******

In the early morning, Grandma Xiao finished reading two volumes of scriptures, and ate a piece of chocolate secretly given to her by Lin Jingzhe hidden under the altar table, then squeezed the wrapped tinfoil into the size of a soybean, and buried it in the incense ash.

Then she finished her breakfast, changed her clothes, picked out a prayer bead made by her grandson a few years ago, and wrapped it carefully on her wrist.

When Yu Shuyuan came down, she saw her standing upright in the yard, and she asked while changing her shoes, "Mom, what are you doing?"

"It's okay, just take a breath." Grandma Xiao said, "Go to work quickly."

Watching the car of his son and daughter-in-law leave, a black car drove in at the end of the path.

The driver of the car hurriedly opened the door and came down, with wet tears still on his face, he wiped his eyes and said, "Old Qi is critically ill, please...please..."

Grandma Xiao let out a long sigh, straightened her clothes, "Let's go."

The top floor of the inpatient department was already in chaos. Doctors and nurses flocked to a ward. The ward was already overcrowded. As soon as Grandma Xiao entered, she saw many familiar old people. Mr. Qi invited almost all the old friends he could.

The monitor hummed vigilantly, and the old man on the hospital bed was like a handful of dry firewood. He was breathing hard, tears rolled down the corners of his eyes, and his eyes were full of despair.

Out of the corner of the eye, Grandma Xiao met, and the old man was shocked. He held down the doctor's fast-moving hands, and firmly but slightly shook his head.

"But—" The doctor still insisted on treating him.

"It's useless, let's go." Old Master Qi just sighed and shook his head.

The medical staff withdrew after a long while like running water, and Mr. Qi, who was supported by the head of the bed and half-sitting, shed tears for a while, then suddenly turned his head and looked tiredly at Grandma Xiao who came forward: "Let it be... let it be... Of course... you are right... I was wrong... I was wrong... I hurt him..."

Grandma Xiao's eyes were pitiful: "You..."

Old Master Qi smiled slightly, and looked at her with pleading eyes: "You said, he still has the possibility... and the possibility..."

Grandma Xiao didn't speak.

After a long while, Mr. Qi finally uttered that difficult question: "...is it still possible to come back alive?"

The two looked at each other for a long time, and in the cloudy eyes of the skinny old man, apart from the tears flowing out, there was also a burning soul.

Grandma Xiao finally couldn't bear it, and raised her hand to pat her old friend's shoulder: "As long as he repents with all his heart, there may be a glimmer of life."

Old Master Qi stared at her for a while to confirm, and after a while, intermittent tears flowed down like a faucet opening a gate: "Thank you."

"Help me to lie down, I want to rest for a while." He said.

Several old people around came forward to help, and together with Grandma Xiao, lowered his bed down.

Old Master Qi was lying on his back, holding the hand of an old friend beside him, and murmuring to himself wearily with his eyes closed: "I have begged you for many things in my life, and this may be the last one..."

His voice became lower and lower, and finally he closed his eyes peacefully because of Grandma Xiao's assurance.

******

The news of Mr. Qi's death became the last bell before midsummer.

But there are only a few people who are really sad for him. When Shen Juuying talked about it, she could only sigh twice at most.

"I just found out that kid Qi Kai is too disgraceful. In the past, smuggling was not counted, but he was involved in that kind of business with Shi Nanxing. It was also a crime. The old man arranged for Shi Nanxing to leave the country and secretly stuffed Qi Kai in there." On that ship, no one knew he was there, and they didn't have any precautions, so they told him to be taken away by those bastards."

"The old lady of the Shi family also went to the hospital on the day she got the news. Their house is also in chaos now. Shi Nanxing's parents seemed to be crazy and mobilized all the people in the Southwest, saying that they would crack down on drug trafficking at the border... There is an afterthought What's the use, why did you go early?"

Lin Jingzhe frowned when he heard this. In his previous life, he didn't dare to touch such things as pornography, gambling and drugs even in the most absurd time, so he couldn't understand the behavior of rich children who had a good life and jumped into the fire pit.

He became tense like a snake, grabbed Shen Tiantian who was silent at the side and warned: "You must not learn from them, do you hear me?"

Shen Tiantian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly got into his arms. Lin Jingzhe thought that he had indeed said what he had said, and for fear of scaring his sister, he patted her comfortingly.

Shen Juuying looked at the two of them with a hesitant expression. In fact, she specifically mentioned this matter to Lin Jingzhe, and she had a deeper intention besides warning.

She asked: "The Qi family has a funeral, you can go with us."

After never concealing the relationship between the two parties, she has been trying to find an opportunity for Lin Jingzhe to appear in the name of her family in a fair manner, so that outsiders can clearly know her attitude with the Shen family, and the car accident like before does not happen again. matter.

Lin Jingzhe was a little hesitant, for various reasons, even though he recognized the Shen family's previous life, he hardly attended any large-scale events with Shen Juanying and the others.He was used to keeping a distance, and he was not used to the sudden shrinking. Even though he knew that Shen Juuying had good intentions, he still had concerns.

Lin Runsheng was silent for a long time with tense muscles, and rarely said boldly: "Let's go together."

Shen Tiantian also grabbed his arm and shook it: "Brother, let's go together!"

The eyes of the family members were full of sincerity and anxiety, Lin Jingzhe took a deep breath, and finally nodded in compromise after a long while.

******

When old man Qi passed away, there wasn't even a person who threw a basin. In the end, the old friends found their own children of the right age to help.

The white cloth spirit curtain, paper money and plain flowers, and the lively suona can hardly conceal the desolation.

When Lin Jingzhe and Shen Juuying went up to pay respects, it seemed as if he had traveled through time and space to see his grandfather's funeral.He had never seen Mr. Qi, but after the lamp was turned off, there was still only a black and white image of a kind and smiling old man who was like a beast in others' words. No matter what kind of deep hatred, Lin Jingzhe felt very uncomfortable at this moment.

He lit a stick of incense for the old man, stared at the spirit flag for a while, and Shen Juanying, who was next to him, introduced to a friend who asked about his origin: "This is my son!"

"Jingzhe, her name is Lin Jingzhe, she looks pretty, right?"

"Study at Yanda, major in finance, follow his father, smart, good grades."

"Now I'm starting a company and doing real estate. Alas, what a big business, it's only one or two hundred million."

She asked Lin Jingzhe to call someone, Lin Jingzhe looked away, and greeted the other party calmly and politely.

Regardless of what she thinks in her heart, Shen Juanying has clearly expressed her attitude, bringing Lin Jingzhe out to meet people with great fanfare, and outsiders can only cooperate and praise.

Shen Tiantian followed behind her brother, like a little follower, she lowered her head and didn't talk much to others. Her emotions were a bit complicated. After all, she didn't expect that Qi Kai would be involved in this matter. Mr. Qi concealed it too well , almost watertight, she and Xiao Chi had always thought that there was only Shi Nanxing on the cruise ship.

Karma is really inexplicable and elusive, but it is always implemented in fate.

Because of this, she rarely expressed emotion. After burning the paper money, she felt depressed, and quietly hid outside the mourning hall to breathe.

The uncle and aunt who didn't know where outside pulled her back and asked, "Is that the brother you picked up from outside?"

Shen Tiantian glanced into the room, Lin Jingzhe was squatting burning paper money, with a solemn back, burning more seriously than many children in the courtyard who knew Mr. Qi well.She knew that her brother must be feeling uncomfortable again, and for a moment felt a little bit emotional about the other party's pure and kind heart: "Yes."

"Tsk tsk tsk." The person who held her to ask the bottom line shook his head again and again, "I can't fault my etiquette at all. It seems that he is a powerful person."

Shen Tiantian heard that something was wrong, she frowned slightly, showing a gloomy look: "What do you mean..."

"Sweet." Lin Jingzhe's voice suddenly came from the room, interrupting her anger that was about to ignite.Lin Jingzhe got up after burning the paper money and saw that Shen Tiantian was surrounded by people, thinking that her sister was being entangled by someone, so she stepped forward quickly, and after only a moment, the solemn expression on her face was covered with an impeccable smile ,"What are you doing?"

Shen Tiantian saw that he was wary of outsiders, and immediately restrained her expression, and softly introduced the group of people around him.

Lin Jingzhe calmly stretched out his hands to shake hands with everyone, and at the same time protected his sister behind him, and said with a smile: "This is a special occasion, and it is not suitable for chatting. All uncles and aunts are free, so you can come and sit at home more often."

"Definitely." The elders couldn't help but feel guilty and short of breath under his seemingly amiable but unquestionable aura, and agreed again and again.

Shen Tiantian followed Lin Jingzhe obediently.

The people at the spot looked at the backs of the brothers and sisters leaving in harmony, and came to their senses, shaking their heads pessimistically.

"It's bad, it's bad, this young man knew it was difficult to deal with at first glance, and he was able to enter the house under Shen Juanying's nose. It seems that the Shen family will be very successful in the future."

"Shen Tiantian is such an idiot, she still obeys his advice, just watch, haha, she will cry when all the family property is robbed in the future."

Lin Jingzhe looked at her sister worriedly in the corner: "Didn't you get bullied just now?"

Shen Tiantian lowered her head and shook her head obediently, fooling her brother for a moment, then glanced sharply from the corner of her eyes towards the door.

She has clearly remembered this group of shit-stirring sticks one by one, and they will have a bad day!

She wanted to take this opportunity to act coquettishly with her brother again, but a figure came towards this step from among the juniors in the mourning hall. Before she could react, Xiao Chi stuck to Lin Jingzhe's back.

Lin Jingzhe looked back, Xiao Chi said: "My mother asked me to come and call you, and Aunt Shen, Uncle Lin, and the two families will have lunch together later."

Lin Jingzhe's attention was immediately pulled away from her sister, and she followed Xiao Chi away.

Shen Tiantian sighed for a long time, and gave up communicating with this food-protecting "sister-in-law", for fear that the other party would open the bag and throw the box of sunglasses and jewelry on her face.

She reluctantly followed.

Amidst the noise, Xiao Chi looked back at the lonely altar, and silently recited a Ksitigarbha for the old man in the black-and-white photo who hadn't smiled so much for many years.

Amitabha.
