Indeed, he had investigated the environment she grew up in. If a person grew up in a family without love, their character would definitely be very gloomy, but Lan Weiwei didn"t seem to be affected by those personalities. Sometimes, she would still be like an i
ocent child, pure in heart, the only difference was the sadness written on her face when she faced her father"s endless demands for money.
She could have stepped over the threshold, but why was he holding on to her so tightly?
Moreover, he was still a man. What reason did he have to be half-dead?
"Wei!" Ji Shangqing held her tightly in his arms and whispered an apology, "I shouldn"t have been so mean to you just now. It was my bad, I couldn"t control my temper. I won"t do it next time!"
Lan Weiwei already understood what kind of man Ji Shangqing was. He seemed cold and proud, but most of the time, he was willing to let go of his pride.
"I know you"re not in a good mood, but I can"t comfort you. If you"re dissatisfied, it"s good to let off some steam!" Lan Weiwei sighed.
"Aren"t you angry with me?" Ji Shangqing released his grip and placed his hands on her shoulders, looking at her nervously.
Lan Weiwei shook her head. "No, I know you"re not a person who likes to throw a tantrum. You just met with trouble!"
Ji Shangqing nodded. "Slight, my mood is much better now. I want to ask you a favor."
"What is it?" Lan Weiwei widened her beautiful eyes in surprise.
"I want you to accompany me to my grandfather"s funeral tomorrow!" Ji Shangqing pleaded in a low voice.
"Huh?" Lan Weiwei thought he was asking for something else, but she didn"t expect him to take her to see his family, and it was the kind that suddenly appeared at his grandfather"s funeral.
"Scared?" Ji Shangqing"s gaze darkened. He thought that she didn"t want to go with him.
Lan Weiwei bit her lip and whispered, "Your family will be here, right? If I go with you, will I see them?"
"Yes, you will meet them, but I really want to bring you to meet my grandfather. Even if it"s too late, I still want you to accompany me to kowtow!" Ji Shangqing leaned against the wall. In fact, two days before his grandpa"s accident, Ji Shangqing was prepared to take Lan Weiwei to meet his grandpa and grandma. He wanted to invite the two elders over for a meal to let them see his future wife.
He didn"t think that his grandfather would leave just like that after things happened so suddenly. He truly felt upset in his heart.
"Alright, I will go!" Lan Weiwei could see that he was very sad and didn"t want to disappoint him anymore.
Ji Shangqing"s gaze fell onto her face. His finger gently drew a line on her cheek, "Slight, I must have used all the luck in my life to meet you."
Lan Weiwei was stupefied for a moment before her face flushed red.
If what happened that day in the hotel could be considered as a kind of meeting, then she really didn"t want to have to do it again.
Ji Shangqing was also stu
ed, as if he mentioned something that shouldn"t be mentioned, he couldn"t help but cough lightly: "Erm ??" "You cook. I"ll go clean up the room!"
"En!" Seeing that he had finally returned to his previous state, Lan Weiwei"s mood was finally at ease.
In the morning of the next day, Old Master Ji"s funeral was held at around ten in the afternoon. On the eastern side of a cemetery halfway up a mountain, the best cemetery was chosen.
Aside from his family, the ones who came to see him off were his friends. At his age, there weren"t many friends, and most of them had white hair. However, they still carried their walking sticks and came trembling to send their old friend off on his final journey.
Everyone was dressed in the same black, and it was snowing.
Old Master Ji"s friends were all accompanied by their families. At this moment, the elders" heads were covered by an umbrella held by Ji Xiaohan"s bodyguards. Tang Youyou and Lan Yue held their children"s hand, and some people came over to help them hold the umbrella.
Standing beside Ji Yueze was Bai Yiyan. Her lower abdomen was slightly puffed up. It was unknown if it was due to her i
er grief, but at this moment, she felt that the child in her womb was moving so strongly. Her eyes turned red.
Could it be that even the unborn baby could feel the sad atmosphere?
Ji Xiaohan and the old lady stood at the front. The old man had already put down the coffin and was covering it with dirt. Everyone"s mood instantly became a lot gloomier.
Just then, another two figures walked over from the stairs. It was Ji Shangqing and Lan Weiwei.
The moment Ji Yueze saw him, his face turned black from anger.
The old lady turned around, looked at Ji Shangqing and waved him over.
Ji Shangqing walked over with his head lowered and said sadly, "Sorry, Grandma, I"m late!"
"As long as you remember, it"s fine. Otherwise, this might be the last thing you will see in your life!" The old lady was still gratified. She was worried that Ji Shangqing would leave this big family and never have anything to do with them again. That was the last thing she wanted to see.
"I know!" Ji Shangqing nodded.
The old lady suddenly looked at the girl beside him and asked, "Who is she?"
Ji Shangqing said hoa.r.s.ely, "My girlfriend, Lan Weiwei, wants to take her to see grandpa off!"
"That"s great. Your grandfather in the underworld knows this, so he will definitely be happy for you." The old lady had mixed feelings when she heard that Ji Shangqing had finally found a girlfriend. However, it was also worth being happy to hear about.
"I hope grandpa will like my future wife!" Ji Shangqing also forced a smile.
Ji Xiaohan"s gaze changed slightly. When he heard Ji Shangqing admit that Lan Weiwei was his girlfriend, he was quite surprised.
Back then, he had investigated the relations.h.i.+p between Lan Weiwei and Ji Shangqing and pla
ed to find Lan Weiwei to prove it. However, Lan Weiwei seemed to be very protective of Ji Shangqing and now, it seemed that it was because they were in love.
"Your grandfather has too many lingering feelings for you. He hasn"t seen the Xiao Ze"s child, and he hasn"t seen your girlfriend either. Don"t worry, I will tell him in my dreams. The old lady let out a long sigh and greeted the heavy moment with a smile.
Snow began to beat down on the group of people. It wasn"t until they had kowtowed and bowed that a portion of the elderly finally left. The old lady asked Tang Youyou and Lan Yue to leave with the children. Lan Weiwei and Bai Yiyan also went to sit in the car.
At this moment, only the old lady and Ji Family"s three grandsons remained in front of the tomb.
The old lady"s slightly bent body seemed to become thi
er and thi
er. Standing beside her were three tall and straight young men. Although they were tall, they still lowered their heads in front of their elders, trying their best to bend down a little.
Now that your grandfather"s affairs have been settled, let"s take a look at the future. Life is unpredictable, so don"t be too serious, you three, kneel before your grandfather"s grave and swear that from today onwards, there will be no more fights, no more relatives to kill. If anyone breaks this oath, your grandfather and I will never rest on the ground in peace. The old lady took her walking stick and heavily knocked it on the ground a few times. She was alerting the group of youngsters that they were a harmonious family. Only then would everything flourish.
Without saying a word, the three men kneeled down on the spot. Ji Xiaohan swore first, followed by Ji Yueze and Ji Shangqing.
The old lady stood at the side and watched, sighing in satisfaction. "Alright, you can all go back now. If you have time in the future, come visit me again."
"Grandmother, I want to stay here alone for a while longer!" Ji Shangqing said in a low voice.
Ji Xiaohan and Ji Yueze supported the old lady and pla
ed to leave first.
"Fine, you can stay here for a while. Another day, bring your girlfriend over for di
er!" The old lady"s hands and feet were ice-cold, and she was on the verge of fainting. Suppressing the grief in her heart was also a serious injury to her body.
"Yes, Grandmother!" Ji Shangqing answered in a low voice.
Ji Xiaohan and Ji Yueze looked at each other. Even though they still had a grudge against Ji Shangqing, but now that they had made that oath, even if they couldn"t be close brothers, they would definitely not do anything to him.
Ji Shangqing knelt there alone for more than half an hour before he dragged his stiff body down the stairs step by step.
In the distance, he saw a woman standing beside a car. She didn"t have an umbrella, and her entire body was covered with white snow. He was slightly startled.
