Substitute new wife: Mr. Pei, are you getting divorced today?

Chapter 585 Death

Lingzheng was stunned.

Cheng Xi has always been calmer and more decisive than herself in doing things.

If even she is worried about gains and losses emotionally, she will give in step by step.

What about yourself?

"It's too late." Ling Zheng said, "I have already made an agreement with Brother Lu."

"Ok."

Cheng Xi reminded her, "Anyway, you must always remember to love him more than yourself."

hang up the phone.

Cheng Xi fell into deep worry.

She hoped that Ling Zheng would be less hurt in this relationship.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Pei Yanzhou came back from outside after socializing. Seeing her worried look, he hugged her and asked, "What's wrong? Who made my wife unhappy?"

Cheng Xi raised her head and glanced at him irritably, "It's nothing, I just find it annoying to have men like you."

Pei Yanzhou looked aggrieved, "I didn't offend you, did I?"

Cheng Xi snorted coldly, but did not tell anything about Ling Zheng.

"You smell like alcohol. Go take a shower." She threw the pillow on Pei Yanzhou, got up and entered the bedroom.

……

The next day.

As soon as Cheng Xi arrived at the studio and before sitting down, she received a call from Cheng Yue.

"Cheng Xi, last night...Cheng Zhouhua passed away."

Cheng Yue's deep voice came over, and Cheng Xi was stunned.

Although Pei Yanzhou had long heard that Cheng Zhouhua might not live long, he didn't expect it to be so soon.

Cheng Yue said bitterly, "His injury worsened and he was not rescued last night."

"Sister, where are you now?" Cheng Xi asked quickly.

"funeral parlor."

"I'll come right away."

Cheng Xi took the car keys again.

Cheng Zhouhua only has a daughter like Cheng Yue, so Cheng Yue must be responsible for all the funeral arrangements. This is the first time Cheng Yue has encountered such a thing, and it is estimated that many things will not be settled.

She had to go and help.

She drove hurriedly to the suburban funeral home at the foot of the hill.

It was the first time for Cheng Xi to come to a place like this. Even though she was usually very courageous, she felt a little scared right now.

"Cheng Xi..."

When he was about to call and ask Cheng Yue which hall he was in, a young man with a figure like a model came over.

The man was a full 1.9 meters tall, wearing a mask, and his exposed peach blossom eyes were clean and bright.

"Lu Jing." Cheng Xi was stunned, "Are you here too?"

"Yes." Lu Jing took the wreath in her hand.

"Aren't you... filming?" Cheng Xi asked tentatively, "You came here this morning?"

Lu Jing's peach eyes hesitated for a moment, then said, "We have finished filming and are taking a break recently. Our online drama is about to be released. During this time, I will stay in Sioux City to prepare for the promotion of the new drama. I went there last night coming."

"I didn't expect you to receive the news earlier than me." Cheng Xi said in a deliberately sour tone.

Lu Jing frowned slightly, "Didn't I graduate from medical school before? I went to look for friends a few days ago and found out that Sister Cheng Yue has been running to the hospital these days. She is busy with the launch of a new drama. , she has to take care of her dad at the same time, and the nurse she hired doesn’t want to take care of her, because she has been critically ill in the hospital several times. I think she is very hard-working, so I come to the hospital to take care of her dad when I have time these days."

Cheng Xi felt a little guilty after hearing this. She had been busy with Ling Zheng recently, but she didn't care much about Cheng Yue.

Cheng Yue probably knew that she hated Cheng Zhouhua, so she didn't tell anyone that Cheng Zhouhua was dying.

"Lu Jing, thank you very much these days." Cheng Xi said gratefully, "Were you there during the rescue last night?"

Lu Jing nodded and said with a heavy face, "Last night at 11 o'clock, the last rescue failed."

Cheng Xi felt complicated, "Then my sister..."

"She hasn't cried, but I know she still feels uncomfortable in her heart. Some people, no matter how hateful they are, are still their biological fathers. Some people can be ruthless and unjust. Sister Cheng Yue is a person who values ​​friendship." Lu Jing A pair of gentle eyes showed a trace of distress.

Cheng Xi was stunned, "Where is my sister now?"

"In the memorial hall, I will take you there."

Lu Jing turned around and walked to the other side of the funeral home.

Cheng Xi followed Lu Jing step by step. When she looked around, she saw several corpses in a hall. Although they were covered with cloth, it was still eerie.

"Last night...you and my sister...stayed here all night?" Cheng Xi asked hesitantly.

"Yes, we have to keep vigil." Lu Jing looked at her flashing appearance and couldn't help but laugh, "Why, aren't you usually very courageous, and you are still afraid of this?"

"Oh, I have never been to a place like this." Cheng Xi said sheepishly, "My sister is more timid than me. She must have been very scared last night."

Lu Jing said "Yeah", and her mind flashed back to Cheng Yue's face turned pale with fear last night, but she still pretended to be strong.

Cheng Xi couldn't help but look up at him.

Entered the memorial hall.

Cheng Zhouhua's body was placed in the middle, covered with cloth.

Cheng Yue, wearing mourning clothes, knelt beside him and burned the coins.

"Sister, why didn't you call me last night?" Cheng Xi walked in and saw Cheng Yue's face was pale and her eyes were bloodshot. She said distressedly, "You go and rest for a while. I'll come here."

"No, you have nothing to do with him long ago." Cheng Yue pushed Cheng Xi's hand away.

"Anyway... the man is dead, and he did pay my tuition. If he hadn't arranged for me to study in a good school, I might not have been able to get into Soochow University."

Cheng Xi snatched the Ming Coin from her hand, "Have you notified the Cheng family?"

"No, there are only my grandma and an aunt in the Cheng family. My grandma has been in poor health since her uncle and Cheng Wang went to jail. My aunt is also a powerful person. If I notify them, she might come here to quarrel with me. , it’s better not to call them.”

Cheng Yue felt upset when she mentioned the Cheng family.

"That's fine. They might ask you for money when they come." Cheng Xi agreed.

"Sister Cheng Yue, Cheng Xi, you two chat first, I'll drive to the city to get the portrait ready, and buy some funeral supplies by the way." Lu Jing said.

After being reminded by him, Cheng Yue remembered that the portrait had not been completed yet, "No, Cheng Xi is here just now, I'll just go. Lu Jing, I have troubled you enough recently, you can go back and rest."

"No, you are my boss and I am your employee. I should do things for you, right? Besides, you helped me a lot when everyone was in trouble."

Lu Jing looked at her watch and said, "The city is quite far away. I estimate that the round trip will take until noon. I will bring you lunch then."

After speaking, he quickly left without waiting for Cheng Yue to respond.

Cheng Yue showed a hint of annoyance. When she turned her head, she found Cheng Xi looking at her with a half-smile.

"Sister, you are a contracted artist with a very delicate mind."

Cheng Yue knew that she had noticed, and smiled helplessly, "Lu Jing is very nice, but I just treat him as a younger brother and an employee."
