Chapter 432 Died
The more she thought about it, the more alarmed she became. She turned her head and looked at the man beside her.
Chu Xingchen saw the worry in her eyes and immediately understood what she was thinking. He shook his head calmly. There was no news from Xu Limin, so it probably wasn't Zhou Jiangtao's problem.
He stared at the scene in front of him with confusion in his eyes. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and his expression was startled.
Just when the two were confused, Yang Xiangju had already stepped forward and asked a familiar woman in a low voice: "Sister-in-law Zhao, what's going on?"
Sister-in-law Zhao came close to her, lowered her head and murmured in a low voice: "The old lady of the Zhou family has passed away."
In one sentence, it successfully set off a huge wave.
Although he had vaguely guessed the answer, when the guess was confirmed, Chu Xingchen still froze on the spot, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
That night, when Mr. Zhou handed the key to him, his resolute figure appeared in his mind.
After Mrs. Zhou discovered the secret of the current Zhou family member, she was still imprisoned in Fu Province and was not silenced entirely because she had something in her hands that made him fearful.
But now, as soon as those things were transferred to him, Mrs. Zhou passed away...
Chu Xingchen felt very unhappy. If he had not gone to Fuzhou, Mrs. Zhou might not have died.
Yang Xiangju looked at Sister-in-law Zhao in disbelief: "When did this happen?"
The old lady of the Zhou family, she still has some influence, she is a good old man: "I didn't hear people say, that person's body has always been strong, why did it suddenly disappear?"
Sister-in-law Zhao said: "The funeral announcer has just arrived, and I came here looking for some news. I don't know anything else yet."
Grandma Wang glanced at the courtyard behind the crowd. Through the courtyard door, she could see that a simple mourning hall had been set up inside. She turned to look at Wang Xiaoxiao: "Girl, you wait here, the three of us will go in and have a funeral." fragrant."
We live in the same compound, and although we have no personal contact with each other, we are worldly and have a decent reputation. We are already here, and we have to go in even if we are just pretending.
As for the granddaughter, she is still pregnant, so she should not get involved in these things.
Wang Xiaoxiao nodded: "I understand, grandma, you go ahead."
Grandma Wang took Yang Xiangju and Chu Xingchen into the mourning hall.
Although Mr. Zhou has not lived in the compound for many years, many people came to see her off. Firstly, the Zhou family is considered a well-known family in the compound, and secondly, the old lady was still popular before she left Beijing.
When Mr. Zhou saw Grandma Wang walking towards the mourning hall, he lowered his head and followed her in. After all, the military officer was there and he had to accompany her in person.
After finishing the incense, Grandma Wang looked at Mr. Zhou indifferently: "My condolences."
Mr. Zhou nodded. Although his eyes were red, if you look carefully, you can see that his sadness did not reach his eyes.
Grandma Wang looked at it secretly, then withdrew her gaze and walked outside.
Yang Xiangju followed closely behind.
Chu Xingchen followed his grandmother and mother-in-law without saying a word from beginning to end. When he was about to step out the door, he accidentally glanced at the busy Zhou family and suddenly spotted a familiar figure.
He paused for a moment and stared at the figure with a dark and unclear expression. He really couldn't figure out why this person appeared here. Logically speaking, this person should be in Fu Province.
"That man's name is Lu Chengye, and he is Mr. Zhou's right-hand man."
Grandma Wang's voice rang in her ears, and Chu Xingchen came back to his senses: "I understand, Grandma."
There was confusion in his mind. Mr. Zhou was the right-hand man, so why did he rescue him when he was in Fu Province?
Yes, it was Lu Chengye who saved him when he escaped that night in Fuzhou, and later helped him escape from Fuzhou smoothly.
Chu Xingchen was puzzled. He always felt that there was something important that he had overlooked. He glanced at Lu Chengye again. It seemed that he had to find an opportunity to meet this person.
When she arrived at the gate of Zhou's house, Grandma Wang looked up at the sky: "It's going to be windy and rainy."
When she looked away, she paused on Chu Xingchen for two seconds.
Chu Xingchen:......
Why does he always feel that grandma said this to him specially, but what does grandma mean?
He still couldn't figure it out, so he could only humbly ask for advice: "Grandma, what do you mean?"
He always feels that he is very stupid in front of such a powerful old man as grandma, so grandma, you should just say what you have to say and don't embarrass his brain.
Grandma Wang smiled: "Xiao Chu, think more."
Chu Xingchen:......
"Okay, grandma."
Grandma Wang said nothing, but looked at Chu Xingchen with a hint of expectation.
The group continued their previous trip and went shopping.
Strictly speaking, this was Wang Xiaoxiao's first visit to Beijing. As soon as she left the compound, she couldn't help but look around. In the same city, decades apart, the gap was not as big as usual: "Grandma, Mom, where are we going?"
Grandma Wang looked at her lovingly: "Where you want to go, we'll go there."
Wang Xiaoxiao:......
she does not know.
Looking for help, he looked at his mother.
Yang Xiangju thought she was asking for her opinion, so she smiled and said, "I'm just like your grandma, I'll do whatever you want."
Wang Xiaoxiao was helpless, and the ball came back to her. She really didn't know where to go. The reason why she wanted to go shopping was just to get some fresh air. She was detained as a ceramic doll at home for several days. She was too bored.
The little head thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the Friendship Mall, the department store, or the Overseas Chinese Remittance Store."
These three places were all the previous owners’ favorite places to visit.
Spring is just around the corner, and spring clothes are probably new, so buy yourself a few.
Grandma Wang asked: "Does any of you bring an overseas Chinese ID card? If so, we will go to the Qiaohui Store. If not, we will go to the Friendship Mall."
The things in the Qiaohui store are more fashionable, but she forgot to bring her overseas Chinese ID card when she went out today, and she couldn't buy anything without it.
Wang Xiaoxiao was the first to shake his head. The original owner had this thing, but she, a descendant of the future, could never remember to bring it.
Yang Xiangju also shook her head: "I brought a lot of overseas remittance coupons." But I also forgot about it.
Chu Xingchen touched his pocket and said, "I took it."
He has a habit of taking all his documents with him every time he goes out. The size of the Overseas Chinese ID Card is also considered as a proof of identity, so he often carries it with him.
He gave the certificate to Wang Xiaoxiao.
The four set out for the Qiaohui store.
Today is the weekend, and there are more people on the street than usual. Wang Xiaoxiao is surrounded and protected by three people again. She sighs silently, alas, she is really not a glass doll, she is not that fragile.
Fortunately, there were not too many people in the Qiaohui store. After entering the door, she was finally free and looked at the dazzling array of products with great interest.
Chu Xingchen took out all the money and tickets from his pocket and stuffed them into her small bag: "Buy whatever you want, don't be reluctant to spend money, and buy something for grandma and mom, and by the way, grandpa and dad." , and don’t forget it.”
