90s: You are all reborn, who will spoil you?
Chapter 255 After all, it’s a blood relationship
In less than an hour, Liu Jingyi arrived in a hurry.
There is a local superstition that young children should not attend funerals.
Therefore, Xie Wan was entrusted to the care of Liu Jingyi's parents.
When Jiang Cuifen saw Liu Jingyi coming, she wanted to use the same trick again to stir up trouble, but Xie Yan saw through the calculation in her eyes at a glance.
The little girl, unafraid, walked straight up to Jiang Cuifen and spoke sternly, "I'm afraid my mother won't be free for years. My stepmother is willing to help, not out of duty, but out of kindness. Grandma, you'd better control your emotions."
"Xie Yan, you! You fool, why are you so disloyal and speaking for outsiders!" Jiang Cuifen's thoughts were revealed by Xie Yan, and she immediately became angry and embarrassed.
Xie Yan waved her hand gently, her tone calm, "Death is the greatest thing. My parents are here to help out of good intentions. You don't want Grandpa to die in vain, do you?"
"And what about my mother's shameful past? Do you really want Grandpa's funeral hall to become a place for everyone to discuss and have it brought up again?"
After hearing this, Jiang Cuifen collapsed in her chair like a deflated ball.
After all, it was Lin Luping who made the mistake first. She had an affair with someone and gave birth to an illegitimate child. No matter how she tried to argue, she could not erase this stain.
She sat in the chair blankly. Old man Lin Jun's body was still in the morgue.
The weather was still hot, but Jiang Cuifen insisted on letting her son Lin Hui see his father for the last time before sending him for cremation.
Xie Yan kept a close eye on Jiang Cuifen and ordered Xie Jianhua and Liu Jingyi to buy funeral supplies.
Even the old man's burial clothes were put on with the help of Xie Jianhua and Liu Jingyi.
It was not until dusk that Lin Hui hurried back.
He frowned and looked tired. As soon as he arrived at the hospital, he went straight to find Jiang Cuifen.
"Mom, what's going on?" He squatted in front of Jiang Cuifen, feeling extremely irritated. "Didn't you say Dad was getting better? Why did he suddenly..."
Jiang Cuifen looked up when she heard this, and tears welled up in her eyes when she saw her son: "Son..."
The mother and son hugged each other tightly, tears streaming down their faces, and cried for a long time.
Xie Yan watched coldly from the side, her eyes as cold as the deep water in a pool, without a trace of warmth.
Just now, she had turned all the sorrow in her heart into tears and poured them out.
At this moment, she was like Niu Hulu Xie Yan who was reborn from the ashes, transformed into the goddess of vengeance, watching the changes in the Lin family with cold eyes, secretly guessing the future fate of the Lin family in her heart.
Finally, the mother and son stopped crying, and Lin Hui noticed that his niece Xie Yan was sitting quietly beside him, staring at him expressionlessly.
He subconsciously reached out his hand, wanting to hold Xie Yan in his arms and give her some comfort.
However, Xie Yan dodged his touch without leaving a trace.
Lin Hui's hand hung awkwardly in the air, and after a moment he slowly withdrew it, and asked awkwardly, "Yan Yan, you're here too."
Xie Yan nodded slightly, her expression indifferent.
At this time, Jiang Cuifen was winking at Lin Hui frantically, her eyes full of hints.
Lin Hui looked at Jiang Cuifen with confusion, completely unable to understand what she was up to.
Seeing this, Jiang Cuifen had to cough lightly to break the slightly awkward atmosphere: "The last person your father saw before he died was Yanyan. If there is anything you want to know, just ask Yanyan."
Xie Yan raised her eyebrows and glanced at Jiang Cuifen indifferently. Haha, she was trying to encourage Lin Hui to trick her.
Lin Hui was simple-minded and didn't think much about it. He turned to look at Xie Yan and asked directly, "Yan Yan, what did your grandpa say to you before he left?"
Xie Yan didn't hide anything. She jumped down from the chair lightly and stood in front of Lin Hui. With a hint of sarcasm, she slowly said, "Grandpa asked me what Mom had done to be locked up by the police."
Lin Hui was also stunned when he heard this. He had just returned and had no idea why his sister was arrested again.
His eyes moved back and forth between Xie Yan and Jiang Cuifen, finally landing on Jiang Cuifen. "Mom, what's going on? What did my sister do again?!"
Jiang Cuifen was frightened by this sudden situation. Lin Hui has always been polite and courteous, and it is rare to see him howling hysterically like this.
She shrank back a few steps in fear, and after she stood still, she patted her chest gently to calm her pounding heart.
Then, she glanced at Xie Yan meaningfully and with a hint of guilt, and said with forced composure, "It's okay. Your sister accidentally sold some expired ingredients while doing business, and she was called in to cooperate with the investigation."
When Xie Yan heard this, she raised her eyebrows slightly and stared at Jiang Cuifen with interest, her eyes penetrating her disguise and reaching her heart.
How could I have been deceived by such a clumsy plot to sow discord in my previous life?
How stupid!
Lin Hui didn't notice Xie Yan's eyes and just sighed.
He really didn't know how to evaluate this sister.
My sister has a weird personality and her actions are often unpredictable.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced at Xie Yan again, and sighed in his heart.
The niece was originally well-behaved and sensible, but her sister failed to teach her well, which led to her becoming what she is now.
He was silent for a moment, then asked, "Did Grandpa say anything else?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in the corner of Xie Yan's eyes, and she shook her head slightly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Hui fell silent. He sighed deeply, hesitated for a moment, and then asked again, "Yan Yan, how long will it take for your mother to come out? She should come to see off your grandfather's funeral."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yan burst out laughing. Her laughter was crisp, but it was also filled with a maturity and coldness that was inconsistent with her age. It was totally unlike what an eight-year-old girl could say.
"I'm afraid she can't come." Xie Yan said lightly.
Lin Hui frowned, his face showing displeasure, and complained: "Yan Yan, after all, she is your biological mother, can't you just talk to her properly?"
Xie Yan spread her hands, a meaningful smile appeared on her lips, and she glanced at Jiang Cuifen and said, "Uncle, I'm just speaking nicely. My mother really can't come to grandpa's funeral."
Lin Hui's brows furrowed even more tightly, and he asked with a puzzled look on his face, "What's going on?"
Xie Yan really didn't want to watch Jiang Cuifen continue to make up lies. She slowly turned around, tilting her face so that Lin Hui and Jiang Cuifen couldn't see her expression. She said in a cold voice, "My mother is suspected of producing and selling poisonous and harmful food. According to current laws, she should be sentenced to at least five years in prison."
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her foot and prepared to go to the morgue to see Lin Jun for the last time.
The old man has passed away. Now that my uncle has taken one last look at him, it's time to send him to the crematorium for cremation.
"So, uncle, don't wait for her."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a dull thud of something heavy falling behind him, followed by Jiang Cuifen's sudden burst of sobbing.
Xie Yan paused for a moment, but she never looked back. She just walked firmly towards the morgue.
