Hearing that he was coming over, Duan Shu Xian panicked. "You …" Can you not come over here first? "
After Xi Jingchen heard this, he immediately guessed what she was worried about. He could only sigh and say, "Alright! I"m not coming over. You have to take good care of yourself and your family. "
"I will." She did not dare to let him come over, afraid that she would provoke Duan Shumin.
Duan Shu Xian and her mother stood by the door together, welcoming the guests who had come to mourn. Duan Shumin and Duan Siye, dressed in black, stood in front of Song Meilan"s coffin, thanking the people who had come to deliver the eulogy for the flowers.
Old Man Duan and his two sons were also quietly talking to guests, accepting their consolation.
Suddenly, a junior from Duan Deliang walked over quickly and reported softly to the Old Man Duan, "Uncle Duan, Grandpa Duan, the President"s wife is here."
Old Man Duan was immediately shocked, "Are you sure you"re here?"
"Yes!" I"m pretty sure the lady"s car is already outside. "
Old Man Duan and his two sons looked at each other, and immediately stepped out of the mourning hall without delay to welcome the President"s wife, Chu Yue.
Duan Shu Xian was laying out the flowers that were sent over by her guests, so she didn"t notice that her father and grandfather had left the room. Duan Shumin and Duan Siye seemed to have sensed that some important person had arrived.
Duan Shumin"s heartstrings suddenly tightened a bit as she lifted her head to look at the door. Her heart was struggling in every possible way, so she closed her eyes a bit, as if she was trying to restrain the hidden traces of antic.i.p.ation.
She looked over at Duan Shu Xian, who was tidying up her mother"s flowers. These two days, she had seen the grief of her uncle and aunt"s family at her mother"s death. She also felt that her family was the warmest existence in times of trouble.
Even though Duan Shumin had a premonition that Xi Jingchen might be coming, she still suppressed her thoughts.
At this time, in the direction of the door, Chu Yue was dressed in black. Beside her, Xi Jingchen was also wearing a black suit. The guests all looked over in this direction with astonishment and honor. At the same time, they also affirmed the Duan Clan"s position in the country.
Even the President"s wife came to attend the memorial service. Standing beside her was a tall and handsome young man. He must be the son of her and the President"s teacher!
Chu Yue"s face had a mournful look, she looked serious as she brought her son and walked towards the direction of Song Meilan"s reception.
Duan Shu Xian felt that the surroundings were too quiet. She stopped her squatting to tidy up the flowers. She raised her head and saw a slender figure walking towards her.
Duan Shu Xian"s beautiful eyes slightly quivered, she couldn"t believe that he was here.
However, she was naturally unable to ignore the beautiful, elegant woman beside Xi Jingchen. He was his mother, the President"s wife.
Xi Jingchen"s gaze revealed a trace of worry as he looked at her.
Duan Shu Xian blinked. When he walked over, she still turned around.
Duan Siye and Xi Jingchen greeted him with a nod of their heads. Chu Yue gently held Duan Shumin"s hand and comforted his softly, "Miss Duan, please grieve. We are all very regretful about your mother"s fate."
"Thank you Madam!" Duan Shumin nodded in thanks as she raised her head to look at Xi Jingchen, "And thank you, Young Master Xi, for coming as well."
Xi Jingchen nodded to the siblings, he and his mother took the incense and helped Song Meilan burn it.
Chu Yue said to her son, "I"m going to talk to Master Duan and the others!"
Duan Shumin"s gaze turned to Duan Shu Xian, who was helping her mother tidy up the flowers. She wondered if she still did not know that Xi Jingchen had come.
She walked over and called out to her, "Shu Xian, Young Master Xi is here!"
Of course, Duan Shu Xian knew that he had come. However, she couldn"t chat with him for long at a time like this.
"I know!" Duan Shu Xian nodded. "Let me arrange the flowers!"
"Don"t organize anymore, go out and take a walk with Young Master Xi!" After Duan Shumin finished speaking, she pulled her hand and walked to the side, where Xi Jingchen also did not approach.
Xi Jingchen could feel that at this moment, Duan Shu Xian did not want to talk to him, so he did not disturb her.
He had specially accompanied his mother this time to pay his respects.
Duan Shu Xian looked at Duan Shumin in shock. "Sister Min, I"ll stay here and help!"
Duan Shumin knew that the reason why Duan Shu Xian avoided Xi Jingchen was because she was considering her feelings. She already felt that there was no need, because she wished them two the best.
"He is the Young Master Xi, an esteemed guest. Our Duan Clan cannot be negligent! "Go on!" With that said, Duan Shumin pushed her towards the direction where Xi Jingchen stood.
Duan Shu Xian turned around to look at her, and Duan Shumin returned to her seat to greet the guests. Duan Shu Xian clasped her hands and walked to his side with a slightly restrained manner. She glanced at the President"s wife who was speaking to her grandfather, and reverence grew in her heart.
"Want to go for a walk?" Xi Jingchen asked her softly.
Duan Shu Xian nodded. "Alright!"
Xi Jingchen and Duan Shu Xian walked out from the crowd, and the entire mourning hall was enveloped in a sorrowful atmosphere.
Duan Shu Xian and Xi Jingchen walked side by side along a small garden path. Duan Shu Xian"s mind was blank, the events of the past two days caused her to be at a loss on what to do.
Xi Jingchen"s gaze landed on her haggard face with some worry, and he asked her in a low tone, "With this kind of thing, we can only open our eyes a little."
"When my aunt left, we were not by her side. It was too sudden." Duan Shu Xian sighed.
Xi Jingchen patted her lightly, "Things are unpredictable. This is something that no one wants to happen, and if it happens, we will have to learn to accept it."
Duan Shu Xian nodded. The two of them continued to walk around the small garden in silence, until they saw Chu Yue walking out with the help of Old Man Duan and Duan Deliang. Everyone around them greeted her warmly.
Duan Shu Xian said to Xi Jingchen, "Go with Madam!"
Xi Jingchen also knew that this was not the best time, so he did not introduce her further, and said to her, "Pay attention to your body and rest, I will come and find you in a few days."
With that, Xi Jingchen walked towards Chu Yue, who was also looking over. Duan Shu Xian directly met with Chu Yue"s gaze, she was panicking for a few seconds, then Chu Yue smiled and nodded at her.
Duan Shu Xian bowed respectfully in return. Xi Jingchen returned to his mother"s side and also looked back in Duan Shu Xian"s direction with deep emotions. He accompanied his mother and headed towards their carriage.
When Duan Shu Xian returned to the mourning hall, almost all the guests had already arrived. In the afternoon, they carried the coffin to the cemetery for burial.
In the blink of an eye, three days had pa.s.sed and he had suddenly left.
Duan Shumin requested for a leave of absence to stay at home, she would transfer to a job overseas in half a month.
Before she went abroad, she only wanted to spend her days at home.
Duan Shu Xian had asked for a week"s leave, and after that, she still needed to go back to work.
Duan Deming and his wife also put down everything and came over to take care of Old Man Duan.
In the blink of an eye, Duan Shu Xian had worked in the museum for three days. Although the grief in her heart had not yet subsided, she did not neglect her customers when it came to work.
In the days that followed, plus work, Duan Shu Xian now had very little time to rest. When she stood at the receiving seat, she suddenly felt that the floor in front of her was slightly shaking. Immediately afterwards, she felt the world spinning around her.
"Shu Xian, what"s wrong?" What"s wrong with you? " Her colleagues spotted her immediately.
Duan Shu Xian supported her, because she was extremely dizzy at the moment, so she said, "Can you help me get some rest? It may be hypoglycemia. "
She had been in this condition before, so the moment she felt dizzy she knew it was hypoglycemia.
Duan Shu Xian was sent into the lounge, and just happened to pa.s.s by the curator when he noticed her. He pushed open the door and asked, "What"s wrong?"
"Director, it"s just that I need some rest."
The curator immediately stepped forward and said with concern, "Little Duan, what"s wrong? Is it serious? Do you want to go to the hospital? "
"No need, I"ll just sit for a while." Duan Shu Xian shook her head. "Thank you for your concern, Director."
The instructor looked at Duan Shu Xian"s pale and haggard appearance, he suddenly thought of Xi Jingchen"s reminder last time, that he had to tell him anything related to Duan Shu Xian.
