“Yes…”
Lin Che said, “That is why I still think that something is amiss, especially since it was Xue Mengqi who first discovered it . ”
“You’re right, but we still need to wait for the investigation to complete . Rest first before you think more about it . ”
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingyu . “Thank you . ”
“No need to be so formal with me . ”
Lin Che felt blessed that he stood on her side .
The clan relatives were against her for their own benefits, but many of her friends still stood on her side . This already made her happy and appreciative .
For Gu Xiande’s death, the funeral had to be perfect .
Gu Jingze was occupied over the few days, helping in every minute and large-scale matter in the household . The funeral matters were finally settled .
Gu Jingze went out early in the morning and returned home late at night . He barely had any time to rest .
Lin Che waited until the wee hours of the morning when Gu Jingze would finally come home .
Lin Che hurried over and passed him shoes to change into .
He bent down and pulled her up . “Don’t trouble yourself . ”
She said, “Lean back . Let me help you soak your feet . ”
If it were her feet, they would probably already have been swollen from being so busy . It was best to give his feet a good soak .
Gu Jingze said, “You don’t have to go through all this trouble . ”
Lin Che looked up . “Shouldn’t the wife serve the husband?”
But it seemed to always have been the other way around…
Gu Jingze also realized that she had been all talk and no action .
Of course, he was actually very happy to look after her normally .
He said, “Fine, fine . My wife is finally making herself useful . ”
“Right . ”
Lin Che ran to get water . She returned with the soaking water, which was yellow and emitted a herbal scent .
He put his feet down and Lin Che slowly massaged the base of them .
“Does it feel nice?”
“Hm . ”
He looked at her, not used to others touching him . He had never really been massaged either .
It was a little ticklish but still felt nice .
Her slender fingers did not have much strength in them and definitely was not enough to him . But it felt good to him because it was Lin Che massaging him .
She smiled and asked him, “Is everything arranged now?”
“Yes . The burial will be at our family’s cemetery . You’ve been there before . There is a plot of land set aside for Grandfather’s peace yard . Everything else is prepared . Some relatives are also rushing here from various places . ”
“The funeral is going to be big, right?”
“We don’t plan on letting outsiders attend the funeral . It would attract too much attention . ”
If they let outsiders attend, there would be countless people turning up .
Gu Xiande’s name was widely known outside . The admirers, the curious ones, and the busybodies would all want to take this chance to get close to the Gu family .
A wave like this in C Nation would attract a lot of attention .
The Gu family had always kept a low profile . They definitely would not like this kind of attention .
Lin Che said, “This period is going to be tough . ”
“Yes . ”
Lin Che’s heart ached . Looking at him from here, she let him rest and soak his feet a while longer .
There was nothing else she could help him with . Please go and support our new domain MangaBob . com . Thanks! It was not her position to interfere in the Gu family’s affairs at this moment . She could only handle whatever was on her own side .
She also made sure that he didn’t have to worry about anything at home .
She did her best, just hoping that it would help him a little .
As Gu Jingze rested there, he fell asleep soon after .
She watched him . He always appeared so energetic, as if he never felt lethargic at all . Looking at him now, she could tell that he really hadn’t slept well in the past few days .
She sat there, not wanting to wake him up .
She only took a towel to wipe his hands and face .
Normally if someone touched him, he would have already jumped right up . It was clear that he trusted her entirely . Thus, knowing that it was her now, he didn’t budge at all, no matter what she did .
She only hoped that he would be able to rest well after this was all over .
She sat there and thought about the funeral . She hoped that no problem would arise then .
At the funeral, the attendees were all Gu family’s relatives and some close friends . Outsiders were not allowed to enter .
After a few days of adjustment, the clan relatives also no longer looked so sad .
But now, they still pretended to cry and shed a few tears, acting as if they were extremely heartbroken .
In comparison, Gu Xiande’s true relatives were extremely calm .
Soon, Gu Jingming and Yu Minmin arrived .
Followed by the presidential guards, the crowd split into two . Gu Jingming walked in and the clan relatives clamored to greet him .
Then, Gu Jingyu also arrived . He entered with Mu Wanqing, who was extremely sad . Although she knew that this day would come, she had lived with this old man for decades . Thinking about it would still make her emotional .
After that, Gu Jingze arrived . When he stepped in with Lin Che, the clan relatives gazed at Lin Che with hatred on their faces .
“She still has the cheek to come . ”
“Murderer . ”
“How shameless to turn up here . ”
She was clad in a long, black dress with a white flower on her chest . Standing beside Gu Jingze, the pair had serious expressions on their faces .
Everyone could only talk . They naturally would not really do anything to her .
Especially when the Lu family arrived behind them .
Gu Jingyan and Lu Beichen walked together . Lu Qinyu naturally came as well . They looked at Lin Che and went to her side .
Watching the three of them, the clan relatives kept their mouths shut . They knew that talking bad about Lin Che here definitely would not benefit them .
The Gu family were in black and white today .
After sitting down, everyone waited for the funeral to begin quietly .
It was serious but not that tragic . After all, funerals in big clans were not like those of normal families that would be filled with wailing and crying . Here, it was firstly solemn and secondly poised . Any form of sorrow was suppressed .
After some time, before the proper ceremony began, everyone took a break and had some refreshments .
Lin Che and Yu Minmin sat at the back . They heard someone ask, “When is it starting?”
“It’s probably going to take another hour . Not everyone is here yet . Some have just arrived from overseas . ”
“Ah, let’s play a game . ”
“What are you playing?”
“Ray of Light . It’s a mobile game . You can try it too . ”
Lin Che turned her head to see the people behind playing Ray of Light . At the side, Xue Mengqi watched and asked, “Everyone is playing this game . ”
“Yes, yes . It’s quite interesting and it kills time . ”
Xue Mengqi said, “It’s all the rage now . I’ll have to see if we can get a collaboration with them . ”
They still had no idea that the creator of Ray of Light was right in front of them .
Lin Che scoffed deep down in her heart . Xue Mengqi wanted to collaborate?
Forget it . Over her dead body .
