Chapter 1663 Funeral

The spring rain came without any warning, yet it seemed as if it was about to come...

Although Yang Yi had already made a guess in her mind, when she heard that Zhang Zhengtang really died in prison, she couldn't accept it and fainted.

Fortunately, Qiao Jinnian was there at the time and was able to respond in time, preventing Yang Yi's condition from worsening due to excessive grief.

Zhang Zhengtang’s funeral was very simple.

With Qiao Jinnian's company and Chu Zixiao's secret help, everything was settled in just five days.

Zhang Nian didn't inform anyone. She was born into a wealthy family and she knew very well that if she did, no one would miss her father. It would only get more cynicism.

Under the drizzle, black umbrellas and black clothes made the entire cemetery feel particularly cold.

Chu Zixiao and Tang Yu stood not far away, dressed in black, looking at the three people in front of the tomb.

Yang Yi was sitting in a wheelchair, with Zhang Nian and Qiao Jinnian standing on the left and right. It looked like... they were a family.

"Why didn't you tell Zhang Nian," Tang Yu said, looking at Qiao Jinnian in front of him, "You obviously didn't have to take over Li Hai's case. You just wanted to find an opportunity from him to commute Zhang Zhengtang's sentence?"

As he finished speaking, Tang Yu turned his head and looked at Chu Zixiao.

Chu Zixiao narrowed his eyes, clenched the hand holding the umbrella slightly, and then said slowly: "What's the use of saying it?" He slowly let go of the clenched hand, his face was calm as if there was no trace of anything. Emotion, "The person is gone, no matter how much we do...what's the use?"

Tang Yu felt a little heavy in his heart. After sighing softly, he looked at the three people in front of the tomb and said, "Then you let Qiao Jinnian get an advantage in vain?"

Chu Zixiao looked deeply, and while closing his eyes slightly, he suppressed the sadness and guilt in his eyes.

No matter how sad and lost he is now, he must take responsibility for what he has done, right?

I want to make amends, but I can't escape fate after all.

"Auntie, you are not in good health, shall we go back first?" Qiao Jin said softly.

Yang Yi looked haggard, as if he had aged a lot all of a sudden.

Zhang Nian's eyes were red and swollen, but he was no longer crying...

Now that she and her mother are the only ones left at home, she must be stronger and let her mother know that she is still there.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Nian suppressed his sourness and said, "Mom, let's go back to the hotel first?"

Yang Yi nodded slightly and looked at the portrait on Zhang Zhengtang's tombstone. His heart was filled with sadness, but he couldn't get rid of it.

Qiao Jinnian pushed Yang Yi, Zhang Nian held an umbrella, and after looking at Zhang Zhengtang's portrait, the three of them turned to leave...

When he saw Chu Zixiao and Tang Yu in the distance, Qiao Jinnian's face darkened, but Yang Yi and Zhang Nian looked calm.

No matter who was right or wrong, who was right and who was wrong at the beginning... For the mother and daughter, after Zhang Zhengtang's death, they no longer had anything to do with Chu Zixiao.

The figures of the three people passed by Chu Zixiao indifferently, and then gradually drifted away...

Tang Yu frowned slightly at Qiao Jinnian's disdainful glance when he passed by them, feeling dissatisfied.

No matter what, what position does Qiao Jinnian have to have contempt for Zi Xiao?

Chu Zixiao did not move, but quietly looked at Zhang Nian's slender back, gradually going away...

From taking her to Yuncheng to see Zhang Zhengtang, to "accompanying" her to deal with Zhang Zhengtang's funeral affairs, he saw her change from a strong girl to as if she had lost her soul.

And all of this was caused by his own hands.

Even if he has a reason...

But there was no escaping that while Zhang Nian was the victim, she also suffered the harm he did to her.

She doesn't complain, just because she feels guilty.

She doesn't hate, just because... she loves!

And he not only failed her love, he was even more unworthy of her beautiful love.

If we are strangers from now on, Xiao Nian... I just want you to be safe in the rest of your life.

And I will only pay attention to you from behind.

"Zi Xiao?" Tang Yu couldn't help but feel worried when he saw that Chu Zixiao didn't speak and his expression was even calmer.

He and Zi Xiao are classmates and buddies. After more than ten years, they know this person's temper very well.

"I'm fine..." Chu Zixiao didn't look at Tang Yu and knew that he was worried, "I just feel that if you do something, you have to bear the consequences."

When Tang Yu heard this, he sighed deeply and said nothing.

"Let's go!" After Chu Zixiao saw Zhang Nian and the others getting into Qiao Jinnian's car from a distance, he looked away and walked down the stairs.

The rain is still falling.

The patter is not loud, but it makes people feel sad and depressed.

After Chu Zixiao and Tang Yu left Yuncheng Cemetery, they went to the prison to deal with Li Hai's follow-up matters.

An accident occurred after the handover, whether it was Yuncheng or Luocheng, it attracted the "attention" of the people above...

After all, this is a country that respects human rights. Even for a prisoner, such an unexpected death is always unjustifiable.

But Chu Zixiao and Tang Yu, who have been in the criminal defense industry for too long, know very well, so what if they "pay attention"?

In the end, it was nothing more than nothing, or maybe a scapegoat appeared...

…

"Sister Mo, what are you thinking about?" As soon as Xiang Wan entered Jian Mo's office, he saw her standing in front of the window, looking outside in a daze with her arms crossed.

Jian Mo looked away, looked back at Xiang Wan, gathered her thoughts, put down her arms and turned around, "Just in a daze..." She stepped forward, "What's wrong?"

"This is the design drawing I completed. The director said that you are responsible for this project, so I brought it to you again."

"Yes." Jian Mo responded and took it. After unfolding the design and looking around, she told Xiang Wan two places that needed fine-tuning, "You can go to proofing after the modification."

"Okay." Xiang Wan happily took it and was about to turn around, but suddenly stopped, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Jian Mo asked, looking at Xiang Wan's hesitant look.

Xiang Wan pulled out a chair and sat down. After hesitating for a while, she asked, "Sister Mo, I have a good junior who is about to graduate this year..."

"Well, then what?" Jian Mo asked with a smile.

Xiang Wan seemed to do whatever she wanted on weekdays, but she had never done anything like using the back door.

"It's just... he studied law," Xiang Wan said a little embarrassedly, "he will go the direction of criminal defense in the future, and wants to go to Senior Chu..."

"It's just an internship, just say it, it's not a big deal." Jian Mo smiled. After a few years of polishing, Xiang Wan has gradually lost the immaturity when he first came to intern, and has become more worldly-wise. "But whether he can stay in the end depends on his ability."

"I know, I know." Xiang Wan grinned, "It's just that it's too difficult to find a good internship place now, so I will help him find an internship place." After a pause, she stood up, "Thank you Sister Mo, love you mumumumumu!"

Jian Mo smiled and shook her head. After watching Xiang Wan leave the office, she gradually restrained the smile on her face.

With a sigh, she took out her mobile phone and called Chu Zixiao...wanted to ask, how is Zhang Nian's father's matter handled? !
