The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 241 A Fate (1)

"Third brother, let go!"

Seeing the hemp rope wrapped around Lin Mi's neck, Zhu Juanjuan was terrified.

"Young man, don't mess around, we have something to talk about—"

Seeing this, Mr. Lin wanted to go up to rescue his daughter, but he didn't want Zhu Xingyuan to open his blood red eyes and stare at him angrily.

"Do you have something to say?"

Xingyuan's voice was desolate and angry.

"Speak to my elder brother, second brother? To my father?"

"I can't help you, I can only—"

He tightened the rope hard again, and then tightened again, Lin Mi was out of breath immediately.

"I'll go with you to the police station, please let her go, she's still a child—"

Mr. Lin pleaded, "We are all victims just like you, and the truth of the matter is not like this at all."

While begging for Xingyuan, he shot helplessly.

In the blink of an eye, Xingyuan saw his younger sister being dragged over by this middle-aged man who was a soldier and taken hostage.

"How dare you kidnap my sister!"

"Aren't you afraid that you will be punished more?!"

Mr. Lin did not answer.

He grabbed the back of Juan Juan's head with one hand, and put his hand around her throat, forcing Xing Yuan to loosen the noose.

Lin Mi was about to be strangled to death, but he managed to catch his breath and seized the opportunity to struggle desperately.

During the struggle, the hat fell off.

Lin Mi's long hair also fell loose.

Xingyuan was taken aback: "Girl?! Isn't it a boy?"

Thinking of the time when I was with Chris, I swore in front of her that I would not bully women and children.

The "boy" in front of him was actually a girl in disguise!

Xingyuan was in a dilemma for a while, on the one hand, he didn't dare to strangle her anymore, because the younger sister was still in the hands of Mr. Lin;
On the one hand, I was afraid that the father and daughter would run away, and they would not be able to avenge themselves——
Seeing his brother's tangled expression, Zhu Juanjuan was much calmer.

Mr. Lin's movements were very light and didn't hurt her at all, but from Xingyuan's perspective, it looked like a hijacking.

"Third brother, let that girl go, I believe the truth is not like this!"

Seeing the four of them standing still, the driver became anxious:

"Sir, stop making trouble, you won't be able to leave when the police come!"

One sentence reminded Xingyuan.

Unhappy, he let go of the noose, let Lin Mi go, and got into the carriage first.

Mr. Lin also "released" Zhu Juanjuan.

"Let's go to our house first. This matter can only be clarified step by step."

She stretched out her hand to hold Lin Mi, although Xing Yuan was unhappy, she did not protest.

Seeing his daughter getting into the carriage with Juanjuan, Mr. Lin also got into the carriage immediately.

Although it was a one-sided meeting, he knew the character of this lady well.

The four sat in the carriage.The car is basically quiet

Except that Xingyuan occasionally couldn't restrain the grievance in his heart, and coughed a few times to vent.

When they arrived at Zhu's mansion, Juanjuan asked Xingyuan to get out of the car first to find someone to prepare for the funeral, while he led the Lin family's father and daughter into the backyard through the side door.

Mr. Lin looked around and found that the furnishings in the courtyard all had the regional taste of Jiangnan. He guessed that this family should be from the south who went north.Although he has been serving by the sea all year round, he has some understanding of the situation in the north.The Zhu family used to be brilliant, but just like the Lin family, in the turbulent years, they were defeated if they said they were defeated.

Under the arrangement of Juan Juan, Lin Mi and his father lived in a guest room in the courtyard that few people go to.

Juanjuan was afraid that the servant's mouth would not be strict, so he went to the kitchen and brought some ready-made food to the house.

She is a careful girl, not only brought cakes, but also fruit and hot tea.

"Hurry up and eat something, I'm already hungry in the morning."

Lin Mi took the food, a little embarrassed,
"Thank you, sister."

"You're welcome. I'll be back when I'm done. Don't go out yet."

Mr. Lin also thanked him, and watched Juanjuan close the door and leave.

Outside the courtyard, the funeral procession is already ready to go.

Xingyuan wiped away his tears, adjusted his filial piety, bowed and knelt down in front of the three coffins.

Gu Qijiang promised to come to help last night, but the time has come and he did not show up.

"Fourth sister, let's get in the car."

Juanjuan carried a basket of yellow and white chrysanthemums and got into the car with Xingyuan.

When his father was alive, he was always low-key and clean, and did not have a dedicated driver.

This car was driven by my brothers in the past, but now she drives it.

The Zhu family didn't have any ancestral graves here, and the accident happened so fast that even Mr. Feng Shui didn't have time to invite one.

He hastily chose a place with relatively convenient transportation in the south of the city to be buried.

The long funeral ended in the afternoon.

The funeral procession dispersed, leaving only Xing Yuan and Juan Juan driving back in a lonely way.

Xingyuan looked at his sister and found that her eyes were more swollen than in the morning, and it seemed that she had cried quietly for a few rounds again.

He thought, is my sister looking forward to the arrival of the second young master of the Gu family?

Xingyuan is obviously good at using this kind of imagination, and immediately filled in all the details of them.

There are various indications that Qi Jiang is the prospective brother-in-law, and he himself is quite satisfied with this future brother-in-law.

In his opinion, Qijiang can be the son-in-law, so that the family will not be so deserted.

He doesn't like to be an official by nature, the big ones are too dangerous, and the small ones are too boring.

Mr. Zhu asked him to work in the government department and forbade him to marry a dancer. Now these rules and regulations disappeared with his father's death.

The eldest brother and the second brother also went. They were so beautiful when they were alive, but they became two tombstones side by side after death.

My mother was recuperating in the hospital, and after recovering, she was sent back to her hometown so as not to hurt her heart.

Sooner or later, he and his sister will have their own small families.

He planned to go to the ballroom to find Chris after the truth was found out, and redeem her.
With that in mind, I casually said:
"Let's call to ask the second young master of the Gu family to come over tonight. He didn't come today."

"Maybe he has something important to do too. Don't bother him all the time."

Xingyuan was puzzled: When Qijiang was mentioned, her tone was too polite, right?
But no, it's so polite that it doesn't look like a relationship at all.

Xingyuan couldn't sit still.

Last night when she saw Qi Jiang coming to help at home, she was moved to tears. Qi Jiang shook her hand, but she obviously didn't resist.
"Perhaps women are fickle animals."

"The mouth is cold, but the heart is hot."

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided:
"I'm the oldest in the family now. Why don't I make it clear for them."

In the afternoon, under the direction of the housekeeper, the servants of Zhu's family removed the black gauze and wreaths all over the courtyard, and did a big cleaning.

Lin Mi stayed in this room with his father from noon to dusk.

Before leaving, Zhu Juanjuan told her that there is no need to worry about anyone finding them. She is the only one who has the key to this room, and outsiders can't open the door. As long as they don't make any noise, they will be fine.

She listened to the sound of footsteps coming and going outside the door, the sound of the broom rubbing against the floor, and the sound of fetching water to clean the windows, and she was both monotonous and uneasy.

Mr. Lin found a few books in this room to pass the time.After watching it for a while, I became tired, and my nap turned into a big sleep, and I still haven't woken up after dark.

When Juanjuan and Xingyuan returned home, night fell.

She was about to avoid the servants to get food for Lin Mi's father and daughter, but she was pulled back:
"Fourth sister, let's finish the phone call before having dinner."

"Qijiang has always kept his promise, why didn't he come today?"

"Don't you care at all? He was helping us all yesterday."
