Young Master, be Careful - Chapter 416
A cold wind came from the window of Lingtang, which made Deng Zixiao shiver. He woke up immediately, tried to open his eyelids, sat up straight again, and forced himself not to fall asleep.
Although this really makes her feel very uncomfortable, she can’t let herself fall asleep.
After all, this is my last night with my father, and I will never have such a chance to be filial again. So, she didn’t want to miss such an opportunity.
Who knows, from one side came Deng Hanzhi’s low and gentle voice, “you want to sleep, sleep for a while, Dad won’t blame you, I’m guarding it.”
His voice is as warm and friendly as it used to be. If they were not here now, Deng Zixiao would think that she and her elder brother were as good as they used to be.
Suddenly, she seemed to feel that something in her heart was collapsing and melting.
But she didn’t want to think about it, and she didn’t want to change her original intention just because of her elder brother’s words.
She forced herself to straighten herself up and answered in a light, emotionless tone: “I don’t sleep. This is my last time with dad. I want to be filial. ”
Even at this time, she was sleepy and could not support herself. Even though she was a little lax, she still stubbornly stood up and didn’t let herself sleep, and didn’t want to be looked down upon by her elder brother.
Deng Hanzhi seems to be aware of her idea, originally wanted to say something, but finally due to his position, straight wriggled his lips and said nothing.
Between the brother and sister, once again fell into a lengthy and complex silence.
The air was so quiet that I could only hear the wind and the sound of the wreaths and ribbons being blown up in the mourning hall.
But maybe Deng Zixiao was so tired that she couldn’t hold on and couldn’t resist the heavy sleepiness, so she leaned on the back of her chair and went to sleep.
Hearing her even breathing, Deng Hanzhi squeezed his numb leg, stood up, took off his coat, put it on her, and carefully covered it to prevent her from catching cold.
In fact, when she was a child, Deng Zixiao was in poor health and often went to the hospital every two days. At that time, when her father was not at home, he took her with him. I remember that when she was a little girl, her eyes were stubborn but also very hurt, and she always depended on him.
However, such a small body has finally grown up, even strong enough to compete with him for the position of successor.
Probably, it’s my father’s luck to have two such excellent children, but unfortunately, they are destined to fight each other.
Deng Hanzhi gave a wry smile and thought of his previous conversation with he Zitong. Even her so strong people are ready to lose with him. Does he really care about the position of the president?
In fact, they all know in their hearts that whoever sits in that seat will become the least free of the Deng family. If you want to wear it, you must bear its weight. Behind the endless wealth, we have to pay a lifetime of busyness.
Doesn’t Zixiao understand this truth? No, they all understand, but they are blinded by power and wealth.
I don’t know why, standing in front of his father’s body, he seems to have changed a lot of ideas.
My father died suddenly at the age of 60 because he was too hard-working. No one thought of it, but it was inevitable.
Looking at his sister’s restless sleeping face, it seems that he is still thinking about something in his sleep. His eyebrows are frowned tightly, and Deng Hanzhi’s heart is not easy.
It seems that they haven’t had a good sleep since they began to fight for inheritance. I don’t know when this dispute will end.
But at this point, no one can easily give up.
With a deep sigh in the night, Deng Hanzhi takes another look at Deng Zixiao, and then sits back in his seat and continues to guard his father’s body.
When the first ray of sunlight came in, Deng Zixiao also woke up vaguely.
Unexpectedly, she really fell asleep.
Sit up and feel something slip on your body. She quickly reached for it, only to find that it was a coat, the elder brother’s coat.
saw the familiar black coat, and the smell of the man’s perfume on his brother’s body.
She looked around for Deng Hanzhi’s figure, but did not see him. Is it true that the elder brother has already left?
Today is the time for her father to be buried. She can’t miss it.
Deng Zixiao immediately got up, took Deng Hanzhi’s coat and went out for fear that time had passed and she overslept.
But she just walked a few steps, met Deng Hanzhi who came back from the outside. He had already put on another coat, but he looked very haggard. Some of his beard had not been cleaned up, and his eyes were covered with red blood.
In my impression, her brother, who has always been a cleanliness addict, has never had such a posture.”Big brother.” She gave a cry of embarrassment.
Deng Hanzhi left a remnant, then said: “you go back to wash, and then you can sleep for a while, and bury your father at ten o’clock.”
“And you? Why don’t we go back and have a rest together? ” Deng Zixiao asked, but he regretted his words. They are enemies now. Why does she care about him so much?
Deng Hanzhi was stunned for a moment. After a pause of a few seconds, he said, “I’m going to arrange the burial. I’m going to prepare the urn and the burial notebook, so I won’t go back.”
Deng Zixiao’s heart passed a trace of warmth, almost uncontrollably felt the elder brother’s consideration for her. It seems that he has always been like this since he was a child. He silently bears the family’s big and small affairs. He doesn’t let these younger brothers and sisters worry about it, and let them always concentrate on what they want.
Thinking of this, Deng Zixiao is somewhat sorry for his elder brother. In addition, he let himself sleep last night and covered himself with a coat. Deng Zixiao was almost sure that his elder brother still regarded her as his sister in his heart.
“Then I’ll stay with you. We’ll do things faster. Then we’ll go home to have a rest and come back together.” Deng Zixiao can’t help but say, subconsciously don’t want him to take over so much.
Deng Hanzhi didn’t expect that Deng Zixiao would say that. He gave her a deep look, then nodded gently and walked towards a room next to the Lingtang.
“This is the urn that was prepared before. You can put it away. Then there are some black armbands of the guests. They will take the thank-you letters one by one and send them out.” As he spoke, he handed things to Deng Zixiao.
This is the custom of the Deng family. Those who attend the funeral will receive a letter of thanks from their family. The armbands of the funeral will be sent along with the letter of thanks.
