The rain also quieted down, and everyone's eyes turned to the person who got out of the car.

But they were all turned away by the scarlet umbrella.

The rainwater fell on the extremely pure red umbrella surface, as if it had also been dyed.

It fell to the ground like blood.

And the reporter hiding in the corner was like a wolf smelling blood, pressing the shutter like crazy regardless of the risk of being discovered.

No one would choose to wear an umbrella like this at a funeral.

This is too deviant, no matter whether it is Xi Wang or not, it is a huge explosive point.

"It's crazy, how can there be red ones for funerals?" Shi Ning looked at the umbrella, and a lot of cold sweat broke out in his heart.

"It's crazy." Madam Chen also echoed, "It's hard for her, Madam Xi's favorite thing in front of her is red."

"Isn't she afraid that the Liu family will make a fuss about her?" Shi Ning asked back.

"I'm afraid the Liu family will fail. A group of people came last night and replaced all the people who were preparing for the funeral before." Mrs. Chen said, "My husband said that it might be Miss Xi who came back. Today it seems to be true. .”

"Is the Liu family so useless?" Shi Ning's tone contained a hint of resentment.

Mrs. Chen shook her head, "The Liu family is already very useful, and it is already a great skill to prevent her from coming back to see Mrs. Xi for the last time when she is abroad."

"In recent years, this Xi Wang has not only been studying abroad, but which one of the overseas business of the Xi family has not been handled by her? This girl has already had her own line of power. Mrs. Xi is not stupid, and her daughter is not an ordinary person. "

Listening to the conversation between the two, Lu Ming raised his lips slightly.

A pair of eyes closely followed the scarlet umbrella, trying to catch a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of this Miss Xi family that she yearned for from the bodyguard team.

It's just that Lu Ming was short due to malnutrition, and the bodyguard team was really airtight.

Several times Lu Ming failed to see Xi Wang's face.

at last!

At a certain moment, Lu Ming caught a glimpse of the little half of Xi Wang's side face under the umbrella!

She pressed her heart, feeling that her heart forgot to beat at this moment.

Drops of raindrops outlined Xi Wang's delicate profile, and a crimson glazed lip was tightly drawn.

It was obviously a sad expression, but Lu Ming didn't feel half of her grief.

How is this going?

"Fool Luming! You're going to get me wet!!"

Lu Jiabao complained and dissatisfied, and a small fist hit Lu Ming's leg hard.

Lu Ming was beaten in pain for a while, and then he recovered from his doubts.

With great reluctance, she cast her eyes away for half a second, and looked at Lu Jiabao, the person who took care of her on this trip.

Just now, in order to see Xi Wang, he unknowingly held the umbrella in his hand crookedly. In order not to get caught in the rain, Lu Jiabao, who was standing on the left, could only stick tightly to his side to hide from the rain, just like a poor chicks.

"sorry."

Lu Ming didn't have time to laugh, so he straightened his umbrella and checked whether Lu Jiabao got wet.

Fortunately, Lu Jiabao was clever, and he knew that he could hide from the rain by his side without any delay.

otherwise……

Lu Ming looked at Shi Ning who was talking to Mrs. Chen, and felt a chill in his heart.

She had to tear herself apart.

After opening the umbrella for Lu Jiabao, Lu Ming wanted to follow the rhythm just now and take another sneak peek at Xi Wang, but found that this tight team of bodyguards had already gone straight up the stairs, Chao Lingtang, who hadn't greeted any elders present. gone.

"It's big enough." Shi Ning looked at Xi Wang who walked into the side hall with folded arms, dissatisfied.

"Hey, you have to be careful today, don't let the trouble come out of your mouth. We will definitely not do business with her in the future, even if she is a junior, we can hardly bow to her." Mrs. Chen said, "What's more, she is no better than No matter how young you are, you can't take advantage of her."

"It's unlucky." Shi Ning said angrily, making the steps rattle.

The rain, which lasted for several hours, did not seem to stop at all. Mixed with the sound of crackling cameras, the group was sent to the east outer hall of the condolence hall.

The staff at the gate registered the people present. Chen Changjun put the white envelope containing the condolence gold on the table, and Lu Ming followed behind to receive two white flowers.

She was holding one of the flowers and was about to turn around and pin it on Lu Jiabao, but she didn't want to take a flower, and the brat disappeared.

Lu Ming glanced at Lu Changjun and his wife who were talking with others, and hurriedly looked for Lu Jiabao around.

Finally, Lu Ming found Lu Jiabao behind the flower basket on the west side of the east outer hall. He was having a great time playing with the fat little Sun family with a dirty tennis ball that he got from nowhere.

"Jiabao, stop playing, and bring the flowers first." Lu Ming said busy and walked away to complete her task.

"Idiot Lu Ming, idiot Fatty Sun! Come and catch me!" Lu Jiabao said, and started running in the East Outer Hall in a very unruly way.

Little Fatty's physical strength is not good, and Lu Ming's physical strength is even worse. Lu Jiabao bullied these two people because of this.

He ran for a while and rested for a while, grinning triumphantly at Lu Ming who surpassed the little fat man.

Full of teasing.

Lu Ming was out of breath from being tormented by Lu Jiabao, she looked at this boy who was clearly her own brother and wondered if it was because he was in the mourning hall, a lot of inexplicable grievances welled up in her heart.

At Lu Yan's funeral, this little boy who had forgotten his roots laughed and laughed with others in the same way.

Even if he found out later, he never recognized the woman buried in a suburban cemetery as his mother.

Such a younger brother is not worthy of his memory at all.

It's better to go away, and live my own life by myself, and it will be brighter than it is now.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming stopped chasing Lu Jiabao, and his panting breath condensed into a cloud of mist that would gather and then disperse before her eyes.

Lu Ming's tears also wet her eye sockets, she has nowhere to go.

There is no one in the family except for a cousin from afar whom Lu Yan met briefly before she died.

In the past few years at the Lu family, I have only saved a scattered 1000 yuan, which is not enough to go out and survive.

With her gone, it was difficult to even survive, let alone go to high school and college.

Lu Ming looked at the portrait of the unfriendly woman in the center of the outer hall of the condolence hall, and couldn't help but envy "Xi Wang".

Her mother left her an entire empire-like business, but her own mother left only one sentence: persevere until adulthood.

As an adult, everything will be fine.

Lu Ming swallowed hard the tears in his eyes.

She naturally knew that everything would be fine when she was an adult.

No need for Lu Yan to tell, she also knows!

"What are you doing? Where are the flowers? Why don't you put the flowers on?!" Shi Ning grabbed Lu Jiabao who was messing around with the little fat man, and stared at Lu Ming who trotted over from a distance, "I brought you here today to let you take care of Jiabao , what are you doing!"

"I'm sorry, Auntie." Lu Ming apologized as always, swallowed all the bitterness in his heart, and took Lu Jiabao to the side to bring flowers.

"Lu Shibao! You give me back the ball!"

At this time, the little fat man also chased after him, and shouted angrily.

"I won't pay it back, I won't pay it back, just a little bit!!!" Lu Jiabao used Lu Ming as a shield, hiding behind her, swaying left and right to provoke the little fat man.

The little fat man was also spoiled by his family, how could he ever be bullied like this.

Angrily, he picked up the wine glass on the low table beside him, gathered up all his strength and threw it at Lu Jiabao.

"Crack—crash..."

The broken glass splashed a lot of light reflecting the light on the ground, and the elegiac couplet flower baskets arranged neatly on one side also fell to the ground like dominoes.

Luming was affected, and the glass that was aiming extremely inaccurately at the back where she couldn't see smashed straight at her.

Lu Jiabao didn't know whether it was because he was afraid of running away or for other reasons. Seeing the little fat man angrily pulling Lu Ming to block the wall, he bumped into the flower basket without turning around.

One second's chaos, the next second into stunned silence.

Lu Ming felt that the eyes of the entire outer hall were focused on her body, and her cheeks were burning hot.

Fear spread in her heart, no one protected her, and she didn't know what kind of blame she would face if she caused such a big disaster.

What's more, this is "Xi Wang"'s mother's funeral, and she doesn't want to be ruined by herself.

"Luming... blood..."

At this time, Lu Ming heard the trembling voice of Lu Jiabao who was hiding in his arms.

Lu Ming watched Shi Ning push aside the crowd and rush towards him, his already frightened heart was beating even more.

If Lu Jiabao is injured, Shi Ning will go crazy.

If Shi Ning goes crazy, the whole family will suffer because of her negligence.

And she will have a worse time.

"Jiabao, is there something wrong?" Shi Ning pulled away Lu Ming who was protecting Lu Jiabao, hugged Lu Jiabao, and carefully checked his body.

It was such a random movement that Lu Ming was staggered and knelt down to the side.

She saw that Lu Changjun also came over, and the Sun family hurried over to apologize with the little fat man, and those aunts and uncles whom she didn't know also came over to care.

And he was thrown aside like this, ignored by others, like a rag doll that no one wanted.

It was also at this time that Lu Ming felt the pain that belonged to her alone.

Bright red blood dripped from the top of her arm, and she turned her head to look in the direction of the blood dripping.

There was a gaping hole on the pale and thin arm.

Lu Ming breathed a bitter sigh of relief.

It turns out that Lu Jiabao was talking about himself...

That's fine.

Lu Ming glanced at Lu Jiabao, who was safe but surrounded by people who were concerned about him, and pretended to be calm and took out a disinfectant wipe from his pocket.

She wiped the blood on her arm carefully, and just wanted to get up and ask the staff here to borrow a medicine box to deal with it, but found that the whole hall fell silent at some point.

A bright light came in from the outside, the heavy door was pushed open from the outside, and several bodyguards in black trench coats pushed in, separating the two sides.

Lu Ming looked towards the place where the light came from, and vaguely saw a woman with a graceful figure.

She was wearing a satin black long dress, and a bouquet of extraordinarily delicate white flowers pinned to her vintage shawl, calm and elegant.

Even after more than ten years, Lu Ming could not forget the scene of this day.

Xi Wang just ignored all the greetings and gazes, and stood in front of him condescendingly.

Dazzling and sacred light shrouded her body, like a god descending from the sky, raising her hand with black silk gloves to herself.

"come over."
