Spring night kiss
Chapter 212: Telling Thousands of Lies
His expression was calm, his mood was stable, and his interactions with others were impeccable. When he saw Zhou Yinghuai and Jiang Tan appear, he just smiled, nodded, and said, "Please come in."
His calmness was beyond Jiang Tan's expectation.
And Zhou Yinghuai couldn't help but look at Meng Yanxi twice, and then said softly: "My condolences."
Many people came to the funeral, and Xia Ning's parents were standing nearby. Both of them were prominent figures in the education sector.
There was sadness on their faces, and a condolence greeting from each one who came forward.
Zhou Yinghuai and Jiang Tan stepped forward to present flowers, and the couple accepted them.
The woman's eyes fell on Jiang Tan, looking thoughtfully. She wiped her tears and said hoarsely: "Are you Jiang Tan? I recognize you."
"Do you recognize me?" Jiang Tan was a little surprised.
The woman sighed, "Xia Ning mentioned you to me some time ago when she was still conscious. She said she couldn't help you and was hostile to you at that time. It was because her heart was blinded by jealousy."
Jiang Tan held the woman's hand and said sincerely: "These things have passed for a long time, and I don't take them to heart. Xia Ning and I have reconciled long ago."
When the woman heard this, her eyes turned red, she nodded repeatedly, and said, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have let Xia Ning marry into the Meng family at that time. This child likes Yan Xi so much that he will marry into it no matter what."
Jiang Tan felt uncomfortable hearing this. Not far away, in the corner of the hall, Xia Ning's coffin was still parked there.
The woman's eyes fell on the coffin, and she couldn't stop crying. "Xia Ning, this child has been very sensible since she was a child, but this time she couldn't think about it and committed suicide."
"You mean, Xia Ning committed suicide." Jiang Tan was surprised, and Zhou Yinghuai frowned at the side.
"Yes, I was not with her for one night, and something happened to her." The woman wiped her tears, and the middle-aged man on the side quickly supported her, while the woman choked and continued: "I heard this at the time After hearing the news, I passed out immediately, thanks to Yanxi who has been busy taking care of me."
Zhou Yinghuai glanced at the main entrance, where Meng Yanxi was presiding with a calm expression.
The marriage between him and Xia Ning has been annulled, but the Xia family and the Meng family have not announced it to the public.
Now, everyone who comes to pay their respects thinks that Meng Yanxi is Xia Ning's husband.
Whoever saw this scene would not say a word of deep affection.
Probably realizing that Zhou Yinghuai had been looking at Meng Yanxi, Xia Ning's mother wiped her tears and explained: "I originally wanted to announce that the marriage between the Meng family and the Xia family was annulled, but this child Yanxi said Now that Xia Ning is no longer here, he will treat us well for Xia Ning in the future."
The woman's eyes flashed with emotion, and she sighed a little: "He and Xia Ning are both very good children, but there is really no fate between the two of them."
Zhou Yinghuai withdrew his gaze and smiled at his wife, "You are right. You and your uncle are old, so you still need to take good care of your health. Yanxi is a man of his word. Since he said he would take care of you and me, what do you want? Don’t be afraid to trouble him.”
Jiang Tan glanced at Zhou Yinghuai in surprise.
Zhou Yinghuai took Jiang Tan's hand and walked towards the middle of the mourning hall.
There was a photo of Xia Ning, with a gentle and peaceful face and charming eyebrows.
After Jiang Tan and Zhou Yinghuai finished offering the incense, Meng Yanxi walked up to them. "Thank you for being willing to bring Jiang Tan here today." Meng Yanxi smiled. The past was like smoke. He looked at Jiang Tan again with only calmness in his eyes. His voice was soft and indifferent: "If I have a chance in the future, You and Jiang Tanduo are also welcome to come and play at Meng’s house.”
"Okay." Zhou Yinghuai said calmly.
Meng Yanxi's smile deepened and continued: "By the way, are you and Jiang Tan getting engaged soon? I will definitely prepare generous gifts and come to attend your engagement ceremony."
Zhou Yinghuai's eyebrows swept across Meng Yanxi's face, and then he turned his eyes and looked at Jiang Tan: "Tan Tan, go to the car and wait for me first. Yanxi and I have a few words to say."
Jiang Tan only felt that Meng Yanxi's mood was a little too calm today. She was worried that Meng Yanxi would not be able to think clearly. When Zhou Yinghuai said this, she thought that Zhou Yinghuai wanted to comfort Meng Yanxi, so she didn't think much about it. left.
A few minutes later, Zhou Yinghuai and Meng Yanxi appeared in the back garden of the Xia family.
There was no one around, so Zhou Yinghuai spoke coldly and calmly: "How did Xia Ning die?"
"I don't know, just commit suicide." Meng Yanxi frowned, and a look that she couldn't bear to recall flashed across her warm brows. His peach blossom eyes were moist and gloomy, as if there were tears in her eyes, "I have tried my best, but I can't Find a way to save her."
Zhou Yinghuai looked at all the emotions on Meng Yanxi's face indifferently.
"Yanxi, we grew up together. You are not a soft-hearted person, and you will not go to make wedding clothes for the Xia family for no reason." Zhou Yinghuai said. Meng Yanxi's expression changed.
Meng Yanxi's expression was a little tense. She looked at Zhou Yinghuai and her voice became colder: "If you feel this way, why didn't you say anything in front of the Xia family's parents just now?"
"They don't necessarily need my unnecessary exposure. Maybe there has been some tacit understanding between you, or maybe it's all just too much speculation on my part."
Zhou Yinghuai's tone was cold, and he was slightly depressed, "It's just that lies are always fragile. If a person lies, he has to use thousands of lies to cover it up."
Meng Yanxi closed her eyes tightly, and then opened them again. There was alienation and indifference inside, "I have no way out, Ying Huai, this is all I can say to you."
Having said this, Zhou Yinghuai said nothing more.
Jiang Tan was dealing with the company's affairs in the car. When he saw Zhou Yinghuai coming back, he was a little surprised: "You settled the conversation so quickly?"
"Just a few words of comfort." Zhou Yinghuai touched Jiang Tan's hair and said softly: "Didn't you say you would go to the crew tomorrow? Let's go to bed early tonight."
Jiang Tan smiled, hugged Zhou Yinghuai, and snuggled into his arms, like a child. She said in a long and coquettish tone: "Then will you sleep with me?"
The man's breath brushed his ears, lazily and carelessly, and he said, "Then can you still sleep?"
Jiang Tan blushed and glared at Zhou Yinghuai.
The interaction between the two was blurry and unreal through the car window, but it was seen by Zheng Heng, who had just arrived at Xia's house.
Mr. Zheng had gone through a lot of vicissitudes during this period. He looked away with deep emotion and asked Meng Yanxi beside him: "Tell me, if I had been more cruel, would I have been able to protect Zhao Zhao?"
Meng Yanxi's eyes were deep, "You can't protect someone who wants to leave."
Zheng Heng felt a stab in his heart and looked at Meng Yanxi, who had already turned around and walked inside.
