Chapter 458: Once They Were on the Path, There Was No Turning Back
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Huo Xunzhou did not shrug Number 1357 off in disgust because he had done so much for Lin Shanchu.
Instead, he glanced emotionlessly at Number 1357.
However, Number 1357 could feel Huo Xunzhou’s contempt for him.
It was extremely insulting!
Number 1357 managed to calm his breathing and awkwardly let go of Huo Xunzhou.
“Shanshan, I’ll go out first,” he said, turning his body away from Tang Qidai.
Lin Shanchu looked intently at Tang Qidai and ignored him.
Huo Xunzhou walked up to Lin Shanchu and glanced at her expression, but he did not say anything to disturb her.
Lin Shanchu stared at Tang Qidai’s corpse for a while before slowly raising her hand.
However, she raised her hand halfway before she slowly put it down again.
“That’s it, you should keep your eyes open,” she muttered.
Tang Qidai should watch her live happily with her eyes open like this.
Tang Qidai had spent most of her life fighting with Lin Shanchu.
Lin Shanchu wanted Tang Qidai to be buried with her eyes open.
She wanted Tang Qidai to watch her live a blissful life even after she died.
After a long time, Lin Shanchu let out a long sigh of relief and put the white cloth back on the corpse.
She turned around and smiled brightly at Huo Xunzhou. “Let’s go.”
Without a word, Huo Xunzhou reached out and patted her head before holding her hand and walking out.
Number 1357 was squatting at the entrance. When he turned around and saw Lin Shanchu walking out with a smile on her face, he curled his lip and slowly stood up.
She was the female lead of a sweet novel, but she was messed up by that trash, Number 2580.
Sigh!
Number 1357 sighed inwardly.
Cheng Fanjing went outside to discuss some matters with the staff just now. She walked over when she noticed Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu coming out of the morgue.
“You are leaving?
“How are you guys going to bury Tang Qidai?”
Lin Shanchu looked up at Cheng Fanjing.
Cheng Fanjing’s eyes flashed. “If nothing unexpected happens, it’ll be cremation.”
“Can she be buried?” Lin Shanchu asked seriously.
If she was burnt to ashes, there would be nothing left. How could Tang Qidai see how happy she was while she was in the underworld?
Cheng Fanjing had a hunch that Lin Shanchu had her own ideas when she mentioned this matter.
However, she could not understand why Lin Shanchu wanted to bury Tang Qidai.
“It’s not impossible.”
Patriarch Cheng was so angry that he fell sick after Tang Qidai’s murder of Kong Suyi was exposed.
After that, Patriarch Cheng never asked about Tang Qidai again.
No one in the Cheng family liked Tang Qidai to begin with, so no one cared about her.
Early this morning, the Cheng family received the news from the detention center that Tang Qidai had committed suicide. They had not wanted to take care of the funeral at first, but they did not want to bear the notoriety of being cold and heartless.
Therefore, they brought the matter to Patriarch Cheng after discussing for a while.
The Cheng family somewhat blamed Patriarch Cheng for what happened to Tang Qidai.
Patriarch Cheng knew it by heart and did not say a word on the spot.
Cheng Fanjing took the initiative to stand up at this critical moment when everyone was locked in a stalemate.
While everyone was in a deadlock, she already begun to consider the pros and cons of this matter.
The patriarch liked her among her peers was not only because she grew up with him, but she was also obedient.
Although she would occasionally play some tricks, she would never use them on the patriarch.
The patriarch was getting old and his health was deteriorating day by day.
These people were restless and even dared to have a hold over the patriarch.
However, the patriarch had experienced more conspiracies in his life than anyone. How could these juniors have a hold over him?
As long as she stood on the patriarch’s side, he would give her everything she wanted.
Therefore, she was the one who stepped forward to deal with Tang Qidai’s funeral.
As long as the Cheng family took care of Tang Qidai’s funeral and left a reputation of benevolence, no one cared how she was buried.
Lin Shanchu was a bit surprised to find that Cheng Fanjing was such a good talker.
Cheng Fanjing turned around and called the person in charge over. “There’s no need to prepare for cremation. Let’s change the plan.”
“I’ll see you guys off,” Cheng Fanjing said after the person in charge left.
She did not think that Lin Shanchu would stay to attend Tang Qidai’s funeral.
Lin Shanchu looked seriously at Cheng Fanjing without a word for a moment. Then, she walked out with a smile.
Cheng Fanjing followed them with both hands in the pockets of her coat. Then, she suddenly asked, “Are you two getting married soon?”
“My grandfather will send an invitation to Patriarch Cheng when the time comes,” Huo Xunzhou answered her.
It was such a modest statement, but Cheng Fanjing could feel Huo Xunzhou’s hostility towards her.
Cheng Fanjing asked this question with a hint of goodwill, but Huo Xunzhou said that he would send an invitation to the patriarch. He almost said that she did not deserve to receive an invitation to their wedding.
When she previously interacted with Huo Xunzhou, she really did not know that he was such a petty person.
She probably offended him by targeting Lin Shanchu back then… didn’t she?
Cheng Fanjing couldn’t help but laugh when she thought of it. “Got it.” She had never seen a man protect his wife like this.
Arriving at the entrance, Lin Shanchu stopped in her tracks and looked at Cheng Fanjing. “Goodbye.”
“Goodbye,” Cheng Fanjing muttered to herself for a moment.
Huo Xunzhou opened the car door to the passenger seat. After Lin Shanchu got into the car, he leaned over to help her buckle the seatbelt. He even said something intimate, causing Lin Shanchu to pat him lightly.
Then, Huo Xunzhou closed the car door and got into the car from the other side before driving off.
Cheng Fanjing witnessed everything and stood still, watching their car disappear from her sight.
The beautiful things in this world were always something that people yearned tor.
It was the same for a beautiful relationship.
If only she had been a little more patient with Huo Xunzhou back then, perhaps…
Cheng Fanjing banished the thought just as it crossed her mind.
She smiled self-deprecatingly.
No, there were no ifs.
Even if she had another a thousand times of chances, she would still look down on Huo Xunzhou who was in a wheelchair.
Everyone chose their own path.
Once they were on the path, there was no turning back.
Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou’s kiss at the cakery was trending:
#LinShanchuandHuoXunzhou’sThree-minuteKiss #Brother-in-lawIsPotent
#SisterRabbitFromAPasserby’sPerspective
The photos and videos of Huo Xunzhou hugging and kissing Lin Shanchu went viral on the Internet.
He Xiang was in her hometown, but it did not stop her from surfing the Internet.
She looked at the trending list online and sent Lin Shanchu a WeChat message. He Xiang: [Sister Lin, Happy New Year. [Kiss.jpg]]
Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou had not returned to the Yun family at this moment.
Lin Shanchu still had something to tell Number 1357.
As soon as she spoke, her phone vibrated.
Seeing that it was a message from He Xiang, she opened it.
She looked surprised after just one glance.
There was nothing wrong with He Xiang’s message, but there was something wrong with the “Kiss” emoji..
