Chapter 1196: Goodbye, Second Brother (16)
Three days later .
The Lu family’s funeral .
Lu Nanze sat in his wheelchair in his mourning garment . At the entrance to greet the guests, he accepted condolences with an expressionless face .
He nodded mechanically in response to the people paying their last respects, and his expression didn’t change no matter who walked by . He did not speak a word .
In Suzhou, everyone wanted to please him, hence no one dared to point out his lack of manners . Besides, no one could really expect a family member of the deceased to put up a perfect show of manners .
Dad Lu was the closest family Lu Nanze had, his only father .
Now that he had died, Lu Nanze was truly alone .
As he contemplated this fact, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly .
He greeted guests that turned up until a couple stood before him .
At once, he heard a familiar voice call him, “Second Brother . ”
Lu Nanze froze and looked up in disbelief as he realized it was Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan standing before him .
Both of them were in black, and they carried a peaceful expression on their faces . There was no hint of animosity .
Obviously, they weren’t here to create trouble, they were here to pay their respects .
Lu Nanze cast his gaze down and nodded at them . He said at once, “You’re here . ”
It had only been a few days since Qiao Lian had seen him, but he had lost so much weight that he looked really different .
His face had sunken so much that his cheekbones were now prominent and his silhouette had sharpened . His eyes had darkened, making them even more mesmerizing .
Qiao Lian suddenly recalled that this was how he used to look in their younger days, when they hung out together . He used to be silent, only his eyes were dark and sparkling .

She sighed and said after a moment, “Second Brother, take it easy . ”
Lu Nanze nodded .
Qiao Lian looked in and said finally, “I’ll go in and pay my last respects to Uncle Lu . ”
Lu Nanze continued to nod .
She walked in and bowed in front of the altar . Then she offered a lit joss stick .
At the entrance .
Because Shen Liangchuan didn’t know Dad Lu, he didn’t have to pay his respects . He stood there looking at Lu Nanze .
It was quite late by the time they arrived, hence right now, there were fewer people coming .

The two men stared at each other .
After a considerable length of time, Shen Liangchuan suddenly spoke, “Do you regret it?”
Lu Nanze paused and asked, “Regret what exactly?”
Casting his gaze down, there was a hint of vengeance in his eyes as he said, “Burning the account book right in her face . ”
He knew this remark would provoke and hurt the other man .
But the moment he thought of how pitifully Qiao Lian had cried all day, he couldn’t help making the remark .
Indeed, Lu Nanze’s pupils shrank back as though a nerve within him had been struck . He completely bristled .
Looking at Shen Liangchuan, he laughed once icily and said, “I have no regrets . ”

“Even though Dad was no nice guy, he was my father . He is a part of me and raised me, and I could never have sent him to the guillotine . ”
“So I, Lu Nanze, will never regret it . ”
Shen Liangchuan’s eyes narrowed at those words as a hint of admiration flashed across his eyes .
He nodded and spoke again, “So you will have to remain single, while she and I are getting married . ”
Lu Nanze frowned and said, “What did you say?”
“I said I am marrying Qiao Lian . We’re going to hold a wedding ceremony . ”
A long overdue wedding ceremony .
