Lu Xiaoxiao As soon as this question was uttered, all the charming or ambiguous atmosphere was gone.
But Ji Yunhuai knew very well what her words meant. It was not asking him whether he knew how to face Old Master Ji's death, but asking him about his deeper situation in the Ji Family.
Judging from the current situation, once Old Master Ji dies, there will be no one pressing on Ji Cheng's head. It is impossible for this person not to become a monster.
It is even more impossible to expect him to get along well with Ji Yunhuai, after all, his face was so torn before.
So next, the internal changes in the Ji Family... will probably be a bloody storm.
While these pressures still exist, there is actually no time left for Ji Yunhuai to digest the grief of the death of his loved ones. Lu Xiaoxiao does not need to remind him of this, he himself knows it well.
But after he pondered for a moment, he realized that he couldn't give an accurate estimate yet.
"Ah... it's hard to say." Ji Yunhuai frowned, and there was some thought in his eyes, "Grandpa's will has not been announced yet, and it is too early to make arrangements now."
Lu Xiaoxiao also frowned and asked worriedly, "Then when will the will be announced? Will it take a long time?"
Ji Yunhuai shook his head. "It won't take long, Uncle Zhong said it will be announced on the day of the funeral."
The Uncle Zhong Lu Xiaoxiao mentioned by Ji Yunhuai still had an impression. She remembered that he was an old man with a kind face. She had seen him during the live broadcast after Desert Island Adventure ended.
At that time, she and Ji Yunhuai had not yet clearly understood their feelings for each other, and were in a confrontational state similar to primary school students looking for trouble.
Ahem... Of course, in fact, they are not finding faults with each other now, and from this perspective, the way they get along has not changed much, but such a sudden memory still makes people feel a little emotional.
It turns out that she and Ji Yunhuai have already experienced so many things, and time flies so fast.
It's also very... things change and people change.
Thinking of Old Master Ji, Lu Xiaoxiao who had a chance encounter with her, she couldn't help but sigh, and new questions subconsciously emerged.
"But if it is announced at the funeral, it will take a long time, right?" she asked, "Although I don't know the specific process! But your grandfather is such a big shot after all, and the funeral will definitely not be casual. How can it be prepared in a short time?"
"No, we don't need to prepare." Hearing her question, Ji Yunhuai curled up the corners of his mouth helplessly, showing a smile full of nostalgia and bitterness, "Grandpa... prepared the funeral arrangements before he died. The coffins were all custom-made by himself, and the location and other things were already arranged. It's settled. He had been through hell before because of poor health. After he came back from the rescue, he was always worried that he would go there at any time, and he was not sure about the arrangements for his descendants, so he prepared it himself. If nothing happens, Uncle Zhong will be hosting his funeral in two days."
When he said this, Ji Yunhuai's voice paused for a moment, his Adam's apple rolled up and down for a moment, and his voice became a little hoarse.
"Actually, he seemed... always very energetic later on." He said in a low voice, "I always thought that the things he prepared would not be needed in a short time."
Lu Xiaoxiao's heart stopped when he heard it, and the hand holding Ji Yunhuai couldn't help but tighten.
She couldn't say any words of comfort, she could only empathize with her and felt a kind of sadness that "it was just ordinary at that time".
Fortunately, Ji Yunhuai did not become depressed again after these words. He even squeezed her hand, as if to tell her "it doesn't matter."
Then he suddenly asked, "Grandpa's funeral, do you want to go with me?"
Lu Xiaoxiao looked at him in surprise, with a bit of uncertainty in his tone. "Can I go? Those people in the other rooms of your house... won't they have any objections?"
Her worries were not unfounded. If you think about it carefully, Ji Yunhuai is really a little helpless in the Ji Family now. Old Master always doted on him when he was alive. Now that he is dead, if the other houses have any pent-up dissatisfaction, they might take this time to vent it out!
Lu Xiaoxiao had never heard Ji Yunhuai say that he had a good relationship with those people. At this moment of transfer of interests, she was quite worried that her appearance would be used by those people to criticize Ji Yunhuai.
But Ji Yunhuai's expression was as usual, and he obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
"Didn't you say that you want to be my family? What's wrong with bringing your family to the funeral?" He even raised his eyebrows at her, and he didn't know if he was pretending to be relaxed, "And you are so powerful. With you here, the other people in the other houses will not dare to bully me."
Lu Xiaoxiao:"...?"
Why do you feel like there is suddenly a heavy burden on your shoulders that belongs to the flower protector?
Lu Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched. Although he knew that Ji Yunhuai knew that he would not be bullied by others, but in the end he agreed cooperatively, "Okay, then I will be your bodyguard."
The discussion on this matter came to an end.
The two strolled on the street for a while. Lu Xiaoxiao thought about it and decided to tell Ji Yunhuai the speculations she had discussed with 037 before she came here.
"Ahem... that, actually, there is something I haven't told you before, so don't get excited after hearing this!" She coughed slightly and carefully considered the next words, "Just last night, when I went to your house for dinner, I actually met Ji Cheng. He... well... probably provoked me. I was afraid of affecting your mood, so I didn't tell you."
"Provoke you?" Ji Yunhuai was stunned for a moment, then his eyes turned cold quickly, "What did he do to you?"
Lu Xiaoxiao: "It's nothing, you just want to use money to humiliate me."
Ji Yunhuai:"?"
Ji Yunhuai:"Huh?"
"You heard that right." Lu Xiaoxiao nodded to him, and then continued to explain, "He said he would give me five million to leave you. I mocked him and said that was more money than Cui Anhe. I also mocked him for not being half as famous as you in the eyes of outsiders, and then told him to get out."
She recalled it, and then added, "Oh, yes, at first I pretended not to believe that he was your father. I asked him if he was a chef, which made him testify in frustration for a long time. Anyway, it was so fun at the time. I felt like he almost lost his temper because of my stimulation."
--This description is a bit exaggerated, but Lu Xiaoxiao felt that Ji Yunhuai would feel better after hearing it, so he said it without any hesitation.
"..."
Ji Yunhuai looked at her silently, twitching the corners of his mouth, as if he wanted to comment on something, but didn't say anything for a long time.
Ji Cheng ran to sow discord with Lu Xiaoxiao. He should have been angry about this, but the development described by Lu Xiaoxiao was inexplicably abstract, rough, and refreshing, and it also contained a hint of weird humor, which made him feel a little inappropriate... and wanted to laugh.
But Ji Yunhuai finally held back.
He asked, "That's it?"
Based on his understanding of Lu Xiaoxiao, if it was only to this extent, she probably wouldn't mention it at this time.
"Of course it's more than that!" After the goal of easing Ji Yunhuai's emotions was achieved, Lu Xiaoxiao smiled and finally started to talk about the key points, "He also said a harsh word to me at the end, saying that opportunities are only given to those who are in love with each other, and he hoped that I would never regret my choice. Now that I think about it, maybe these words were more than just a harsh word to find a way to find a place?"
