Chapter 190: Hug me, okay?
Hearing Wen Mochen say this, Shen Yunyan suppressed the strange look in his eyes and said, "Huaijing is very busy. I'm afraid you won't be able to contact him for a while."
As she was talking, she suddenly saw the man walking slowly opposite her from the corner of her eye, so she pretended to pat Ning Xi on the shoulder affectionately, "Miss Ning, I think you can understand Huaijing's current mood, so I just Don’t embarrass the security guard.”
Ning Xi avoided the hand she extended and retracted her shoulders, "You..."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly saw Shen Yunyan swaying backwards, unable to find a place to land.
Ning Xi subconsciously stretched out her hand to hold her, but in the end it was still a step too late.
Just when Shen Yunyan was about to fall to the ground, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind the door and held her back firmly.
After Gu Huaijing helped the person, he narrowed his eyes and stared at the familiar figure opposite and her outstretched arm.
After standing firm, Shen Yunyan patted her chest with lingering fear. She turned around and pretended to be surprised: "Huaijing? Fortunately, you are here."
After saying that, she looked at Ning Xi and her voice gradually lowered, "Ning Xi, I just want to comfort you. How could you push me?"
Ning Xi looked away from Gu Huaijing and dropped her arms to her side. When she heard Shen Yunyan's question, she couldn't help but frown and look at her, "Are you okay? When did I push you?"
Seeing her being so unreasonable, Gu Huaijing thought of what Shen Yunyan said just now, and his dark eyes were filled with a bone-chilling chill, "Ning Xi, I saw it all. It wasn't you who made the move first, Yunyan How could you fall down for no reason?"
Wen Mochen didn't expect that he would use such a clumsy method and retorted: "Mr. Gu, there are people coming and going here. There is no need for us to cause trouble here."
Gu Huaijing ignored him and didn't even look at him. He only looked at Ning Xi quietly, trying to tell what she was thinking from the expression on her face.
She hasn't shown up at all in the past few days, why did she suddenly appear here again?
Ning Xi saw the indifference in his eyebrows and eyes, and the light in his eyes dimmed slightly, "Believe it or not, love!"
After speaking, she raised her chin and pointed to the surveillance camera above the door, "The surveillance camera is right here. You can tell what happened just now at a glance."
Ning Xi pretended to call security, but before she could say anything, Shen Yunyan said first, "No need to go to such trouble. Fortunately, Huaijing arrived in time, and I'm fine."
She raised her head and looked at Gu Huaijing, "Grandma's funeral is coming soon, don't delay the business."
Gu Huaijing said "hmm", turned around and walked towards the door without looking at Ning Xi and Wen Mochen.
As soon as he took a step forward, a cold hand grabbed his wrist.
He paused, looked sideways at the white hand on his wrist, and did not speak for a long time.
Ning Xi held his wrist, her eyes filled with mist, "Let me see Grandma Gu off."
Gu Huaijing turned his head to meet her misty eyes, and his heart softened inexplicably, "Come in."
After hearing the affirmative reply, Ning Xi let go of her hand and followed Gu Huaijing and Shen Yunyan into the funeral together with Wen Mochen.
None of them noticed the flash of anger in Shen Yunyan's eyes.
After entering, Gu Huaijing had no intention of entertaining Ning Xi and Wen Mochen, "If you want to pay homage to grandma, join the team over there."
After a brief explanation, he left the yard directly, and Shen Yunyan also left with him.
Ning Xi followed the position mentioned by Huaijing, found the direction of worship, and waited in line with Wen Mochen.
When it was their turn, Ning Xi lowered her eyelids and said, "Uncle, I want to have a few words with Grandma Gu alone."
Wen Mochen nodded.
Ning Xi walked forward slowly, put the incense in her hand into the ash box on the table, then knelt on the futon, placed her hands in front of her forehead, and bowed three times.
She looked at the wooden sign with Grandma Gu's name engraved on the table, her pupils filled with sadness, "Grandma Gu, I'm sorry..."
Before coming, she thought a lot about what she wanted to say to Grandma Gu, but until she knelt here, she could only whimper and say the words "I'm sorry" repeatedly.
Ning Xi tried her best not to cry, but her tears still fell.
It wasn't until the worship time came that she tried her best to wipe away the tears on her face, bowed to Grandma Gu again, and left the room.
After coming out, Ning Xi's nose was still sore and her eyes were slightly red. She walked slowly to Wen Mochen and said, "Let's go over there."
Wen Mochen sighed slightly, and the two of them walked to the center of the yard together, waiting for the funeral to begin and listening to the elders of the Gu family read their condolences.
Ning Xi lowered her head to collect her emotions, remembering that when she saw Gu Huaijing at the door just now, his chin was covered in bruises.
This was the first time she saw Gu Huaijing like this.
Thinking of this, she subconsciously looked for Gu Huaijing's figure in the first place, but except for him, all the Gu family members arrived.
Her eyes scanned the crowd, but she still couldn't find him.
She expected that Gu Huaijing might be feeling sad, but Ning Xi couldn't suppress the sour emotion in her heart.
After the memorial speech was finished, it was announced that everyone would pay their own respects.
Ning Xi walked around the yard and finally found Gu Huaijing with his arms on his legs and his head hanging down in an inconspicuous green corridor.
She quickened her pace, stood in front of him, and said softly: "Why are you here alone?"
Hearing the sound, Gu Huaijing raised his head and saw her swollen eyes, it was clear that she had just cried.
He dropped the cigarette between his fingers on the ground and crushed it out. His eyes were red after staying up for several nights, and he did not answer her question, "Why are you here?"
Seeing his painful look, Ning Xi tightened her hands and said, "I didn't see you in the yard just now. I wonder if you will be okay..."
Hearing what she said, Gu Huaijing's pretended calm expression showed a crack. He closed his eyes, with a silent and sad look on his face.
The emotions that he had suppressed for several days suddenly began to collapse after hearing Ning Xi's comfort.
After a long silence, his voice was low and tired, "Can you let me hold you?"
