In the early morning of the next day, Zhou Chen had already gotten up, without eating breakfast, and set off with Su Mingyu to the downstairs of Su Mingcheng's house.
Even though the two sides had a very unpleasant quarrel yesterday, with Zhou Chen and Su Mingcheng even having a fight, Su Mingcheng set out early this morning holding the portrait in his arms and did not take the initiative to stir up trouble again.
On the way, Zhou Chen had already asked Su Mingyu to turn off her phone. Although Su Mingyu felt puzzled, she still obeyed Zhou Chen's words and turned off her phone.
From the time we set off to the funeral home, after taking one last look at the body, the cremation began. After the cremation, there was the funeral.
Because of Zhou Chen's appearance, Su Mingyu's cell phone was turned off in advance, so while waiting for the bus to go to the cemetery, Su Mingyu did not receive continuous urging from the phone, and naturally there would be no more conflicts with Su Mingcheng.
Zhou Chen has no control over what kind of chaos Zhongcheng Group will become because of Su Mingyu's absence.
Perhaps it was a bit irresponsible for Su Mingyu to disappear quietly for a few days, but if Zhongcheng Group really got into trouble, from Zhou Chen's point of view, it might not be a bad thing.
Because this may also make Lao Meng of Zhongcheng Group see the importance of Su Mingyu more clearly.
Zhou Chen is definitely not as proficient as Su Mingyu in business intrigues, but he understands the plot and knows that Su Mingyu is loyal to Lao Meng, but Lao Meng does not completely trust Su Mingyu.
This kind of trust has nothing to do with character or character, but rather because you are in a high position, and you will naturally develop a sense of distrust towards those around you who may threaten you.
Lao Meng was indeed very kind to Su Mingyu. He played a big role in her growing up so fast.
But Zhou Chen knew that among the Zhongcheng Group, Lao Meng trusted his financial director Lao Mao the most. Lao Meng chose Lao Mao for the matter of malingering and did not reveal anything to Su Mingyu.
This shows that Su Mingyu is not the most trustworthy subordinate among Lao Meng.
The Su family and their relatives all boarded the bus prepared by the funeral home. There were dozens of people in total, preparing to go to the cemetery.
Su Mingcheng sat in front holding the portrait and ashes. The third generation of the Su family had no grandchildren. Originally, the eldest son Su Mingzhe should be responsible for holding the ashes and ashes.
However, Su Mingcheng took the initiative to give his mother a ride in person. Su Mingzhe was not the kind of forceful person. Considering that Su Mingcheng had accompanied his mother the most in recent years, he finally gave this responsibility to Su Mingcheng.
Although in Zhou Chen's opinion, this was a bit inconsistent with etiquette, he himself had no objection. As a translucent person, he naturally would not speak out.
Zhou Chen sat with Su Mingyu. He was wearing a black coat bought by Su Mingyu. In front were Su Mingzhe and Su Daqiang, and behind were relatives from the Su and Zhao families who came to attend the funeral.
The car started slowly, and it seemed very quiet inside the car. It was not until ten minutes later that bursts of discussion came from behind.
"Meilan is so lucky. Before I leave, I have four children to see me off. Our family is not good enough. We only have one daughter. When I leave, I don't know who will see me off."
"Yes, although Meilan passed away early, her children are all good, especially her eldest son and youngest daughter. The eldest son is a famous college student studying in the United States, an American with a green card living in the United States; the younger daughter is even more
Incredible, I heard that he is the CEO of a large group company in this city, which is amazing."
"You are right. Sister Meilan's Mingyu is amazing. He is the boss of a big company at a young age. I heard that this time all the expenses after Meilan left were paid for by her. She is really filial.
"
"I have three sons, but all the money comes from my daughter. This is really rare in the world."
"What are you talking about? Keep your voice down."
…………
They were all sitting in the same car, and even though their voices were lowered, they could still be heard clearly.
Zhou Chen remained motionless, quite embarrassed, because these relatives and friends were right. It would be unjustifiable to have three sons and one daughter to pay all the money.
Zhou Chen was okay, just embarrassed, but Su Mingzhe and Su Mingcheng were different.
Su Mingzhe's face turned red. He was the eldest son of the Su family. Logically speaking, he not only had to pay, but he also had to pay the most.
But now he has neither brought his wife or daughter back, nor provided any money. Being talked about like this behind his back, he, who has always wanted to save face, only feels embarrassed and humiliated.
Although Su Mingzhe felt embarrassed, he could endure it because of his personality, but Su Ming's achievements were different.
As the most beloved son of his mother, Su Mingcheng has always felt that he is the most important son of the Su family. But now, in the eyes of others, he is not as good as Su Mingyu, a daughter who only makes her mother angry.
For Su Mingyu to pay for her mother's funeral, Su Mingcheng thinks this is a matter of course.
He felt that Su Mingyu had been hurting his mother all his life, and now he should use money to repay his mother's kindness in raising her. Isn't this right?
Why, according to these relatives, Su Mingyu was a filial daughter, while he, the most filial son, became irrelevant.
He could even hear the sarcasm and disdain for him in these people's words.
Su Mingcheng suddenly burst into anger. He was a person who couldn't help his temper. When he was angry, he wanted to vent it out, so he wanted to stand up immediately.
But Zhu Li knew her husband very well. As soon as she saw Su Mingcheng's face, she knew what Su Mingcheng was thinking, and quickly held down his hands to prevent him from standing up.
"Today is my mother's big day, you can't be stupid."
Su Daqiang also quickly patted Su Mingcheng from behind and winked at him repeatedly, asking him to hold back.
No matter how much Su Mingcheng messed around, after being stopped, he knew that now was not the time to get angry, so he could only hold back his anger and sit down, but in his heart he attributed this anger to Su Mingyu.
Now he finally understood why Su Mingyu was willing to pay. It turned out that it was all for this result. He spent a little money to win people's hearts. Su Mingyu was simply too scheming.
After arriving at the cemetery, there are the last rites.
During this process, Su Mingcheng was the one who cried the most. The mother who loved him the most was gone, and no one would be so kind to him in the future.
When he thought of this, he felt heartbroken and cried even more miserably.
Although Su Mingzhe was much better, he was still full of tears. Even Su Mingyu, who had always been strong and cold, couldn't help but shed tears.
At this moment, Su Mingyu finally let go of the knot in her past. She might not have completely forgiven her, but she no longer wanted to resent her.
Zhou Chen looked calm. Even though he had memories, he didn't have much affection for Zhao Meilan. In his mind, he only had one mother, and Zhao Meilan was at best the mother of his 'predecessor'.
He will do whatever he has to do, but if he is expected to cry like Su Mingcheng, he really can't do it.
The funeral is over, but at the end the family still has to thank their relatives and invite them to dinner at noon.
The hotel where we ate was also booked by Su Mingyu in the name of Su Daqiang. It was not a luxurious hotel, just a mid-range hotel.
Some relatives who had something to do on the way left, and in the end there were only three tables of people left.
Several members of the Su family and members of Zhao Meilan's natal family sat at one table, while the rest of the relatives sat at the other two tables.
