Chapter 332 Covet 2

The crowd silently made way.

Oh, the other person’s son came to pay his respects, they couldn’t possibly make him wait in line, could they?

Although usually at this time, the family members should have been waiting in the mourning hall long ago, and there is no need to queue up to pay their respects...

By the way, now that this one has arrived, what about the other family member?

Lan Qi did not react to these people's "concession". He just wanted to go through the motions and would be able to leave in no time.

Now that they are being humble, it will save even more time.

Lan Qi walked at the front holding a black umbrella. He was wearing a well-tailored black suit, which was in line with the traditional black and white theme of funerals.

There were two bodyguards following behind him, which was not unusual, as most of the people who attended the funeral were accompanied by bodyguards.

Under the gazes of those people, Lan Qi walked into the mourning hall. The layout here was the same as the funerals he had attended in the past, nothing out of the ordinary, cold white tones, flowers that matched the theme...

He briefly scanned the hall before his eyes landed on the black and white photo.

This is the last time we met.

No matter what others think, Lan Qi's heart is actually very calm now, as if he is attending the funeral of a stranger.

The person in charge of the funeral was the old butler who had followed Lin Ji for many years. He was about to step forward and ask Lan Qi to move to the family area next to him.

Lin Ji has few relatives, and this family area looks empty, so the people who came to pay their respects just now even skipped the process of visiting the family members.

The old butler didn't know that Lan Qi actually had no intention of staying.

Noticing the old butler's move to step forward, Lan Qi lowered his eyes, turned around and prepared to leave without waiting for the butler to speak.

However, at this moment, in this silent mourning hall, there was a sudden "tapping" sound, and someone walked in in high heels without any intention of restraint.

Almost everyone looked over.

Lan Qi couldn't help but look over there -

He saw a rose.

The flamboyant red color seemed to tear a burning mark in this plain color, which was not suitable for appearing in a funeral.

But the girl just walked to the center of the mourning hall in her red skirt and high heels in front of everyone, and no one stepped forward to stop her.

Is this the person who has a grudge against Lin Ji?

Most people think so.

Lan Qi thought so too.

The girl stood beside him, looking at him without any concealment in her eyes, and even leaned forward to shorten the distance between them.

"Are you Lan Xi?" she asked without warning.

Her sudden question made Lan Qi feel lost and confused for a moment, as if there were some other strange thoughts lingering in his mind.

Is it because Lin Ji wants to settle accounts with him?

"...I am." Lan Qi lowered his eyes and answered truthfully.

His tone was the tough and cold one he often used.

But he has nothing to do with Lin Ji, and he has long stopped considering him as his father...so the resentment between her and Lin Ji should not be involved with him.

"Very good, I have a good impression of you at first sight. I will take good care of you from now on." said the girl.

What……?

Lan Qi seemed to not quite understand the current situation.

But there seems to be some strange feeling in my heart.

"You..." He didn't know what to answer or what to ask.

This situation seems too incomprehensible.

"Since both of you are here, please follow me to the back." Finally, it was Lawyer Li, who was often used by Lin Ji, who interrupted Lan Qi's thoughts.

...No, or rather, it should be clear at this moment.

The girl in front of me could actually be...?

.

It seems that this guy is very surprised.

Tingqiao could clearly feel the motionless gaze behind her, and it felt like her back was numb.

She turned around and said, "Come on, you don't want to stay here too long, right?"

She knew all about the conflict between him and Lin Ji.

So it was expected that he just came to take a look and had no intention of completing the funeral as a family member.

Not even a wreath...

Well, she didn't bring it either, but it doesn't matter.

Lan Qi pursed his lips, his emotions changing rapidly. At this moment, he felt extremely repulsed and disgusted by the girl.

She was actually the woman following Lin Ji!

Really, it really made him unhappy just looking at it.

At this point he didn't want to stay at all, but the old housekeeper seemed to see his reluctance and stepped forward to persuade him to follow.

heritage?

If he really wanted it, he should have come back earlier to ease the relationship with Lin Ji.

He didn't want to accept anything from that man.

At this moment, Lan Qi suddenly thought that although he didn't want it, she should want it very much.

Otherwise, why would she be following that man?

Lan Qi frowned and followed as if possessed.

"I thought you weren't coming."

Tingqiao waited at the door for a while, and only sat down next to him after he sat down.

"If I don't come this time, you will come to me later. It's better to make it clear now."

Lan Qi glanced at her with an extremely cold look.

She looked so ostentatious in this red dress, and she didn't look like she was attending a funeral at all...she could have gone to a dinner party just by turning around.

Lan Qi couldn't help but think of what Zhou Jueming said in the car yesterday about this person.

Could it be that she wanted to?

He couldn't help but frown.

"Eh? Yes...it seems like that." Tingqiao didn't sit upright, but lazily, with a childish feeling.

She only had a brief understanding of it, and knew that the distribution of the inheritance had to be announced in front of the parties involved.

So if he's not here this time, I'll have to look for him.

…She doesn’t mind though. It’s a good opportunity to get in touch with future students.

Tingqiao still doesn’t know how to teach him or what to teach him.

She has plenty of time and can think slowly.

Lan Qi felt more and more awkward at this moment.

The scent on her body was so sweet and strong, just as bold and overbearing as she was. As soon as he sat down next to her, the scent on her body couldn't wait to rush over, as if to cover his entire body.

Is she so eager to show her ambition?

Lan Qi met her gaze and gave her a warning glare.

Don't set your sights on him.

He would not be as stupid as Lin Ji.

There was no way he could like her.

Tingqiao didn't feel threatened by him, but just thought that the look he gave her was strange. "Huh? What's wrong?"

Lan Qi still stared at her, "You're sitting too close."

"You don't like being so close to people? Okay."

She didn't have any emotions. Tingqiao was still quite respectful of others, and this person might be her future student.

She stood up and found another seat to sit down, two seats away from him.

Her movements were without any hesitation, very easy and natural, and her red skirt swayed gently with her movements, which was so beautiful that his eyes were inexplicably drawn to her until she sat down.

“……”Lan Qi’s brows were still furrowed.

He raised his hand, loosened his collar a little, took a deep breath, and his Adam's apple rolled at the same time.

Tingqiao supported his chin and re-summarized his impression of this person: His face is quite good-looking...but why does he like to frown so much?
