“Uncle Xu, how did you get the time to drop by today?”

Mayor Xu said calmly, “I heard about the old master and came to see you. Besides, Wangzhi also said that he should pay his respects. It’s just that he’s been filming overseas for the past few days and can’t delay the progress of the entire production team, so I came to express his condolences on his behalf.”

“Thank you.”

Old Madam Qiao originally planned to rely on Qiao Jierou to deal with these connections, but she saw that Mayor Xu had actually gone to Qiao Weiyang’s side and was chatting happily with her.

Everyone obviously saw this scene and was not sure why Mayor Xu was here.

Just as Mr. Xu was done speaking to Qiao Weiyang, they saw Mr. Lu go over.

He also talked to Qiao Weiyang for a while.

“Lu Ke should have come, but he’s doing a closed-door training with his students. He really can’t leave. Besides, it’s only right that I come to express Old Master Lu’s condolences.”

“Thank you, Uncle Lu.”

“It’s nothing. If you have any difficulties in the future, call me directly.” “I will.” Qiao Weiyang nodded.

Those who were polite and distant in front of Qiao Jierou walked toward Qiao Weiyang and whispered to her carefully and gently. Their attitudes were worlds apart.

In terms of dressing, Qiao Weiyang was completely bare-faced today. She was dressed in the same black clothes as Qiao Dongliang and did not have any special makeup on.

On the other hand, Qiao Jierou was meticulous with all kinds of details.

This time, the difference between the two of them was obvious.

Everyone’s thoughts could not help but change again. Whatever good impression of Qiao Jierou that they had regained just now vanished once more.

Old Madam Qiao wanted to ask these people why they were here, but she didn’t want to show weakness in front of Qiao Weiyang, nor did she want others to see that she didn’t know anything. She could only endure it and watch helplessly as these people kept talking to Qiao Weiyang, completely ignoring her.

The butler rushed in again. This time, he almost scrambled!

“Old Madam… Old Madam, this time… This time, there’s a…”

“Who is it this time?” Old Madam Qiao had been frightened too many times today. When she saw that the butler was still shocked, she guessed that the person who came this time was definitely someone she had to look up to.

“It’s Su… Su Zhuoqian.”

The butler had often heard Su Zhuoqian’s name in the past, but he had never seen him in person.

Even the old master would have a look of admiration in his eyes when this figure was mentioned. It was obvious how important this name was.

Old Madam Qiao was shocked. Su Zhuoqian? Even if everyone present worked together, they still wouldn’t be able to defeat him. Had he really appeared now?

She couldn’t care less and immediately went out to welcome him.

Sure enough, a black luxury car had stopped in front of the house. A young and handsome man was getting out of the car and walking over.

He had a stern expression on his face. He was dressed in black, and he was wearing a white armband to commemorate the dead like the others. He was clearly dressed the same as the others, but the solemnity he exuded made people not dare to speak rashly.

He was clearly wearing the same clothes as the others, but he appeared as if he had broken through the void and was lighting up the dark and dim sky.

“Mr. Su, I’m deeply grateful for your presence,” Old Madam Qiao hurriedly said.

“I’m here to pay my respects to Grandpa.”

With that, he continued walking.

Old Madam Qiao was so shocked by his appearance that she didn’t even notice that he was calling the old master ‘Grandpa’ and not ‘Old Master Qiao’.

She and the butler hurriedly followed Su Zhuoqian.

Qiao Qijie and Huang Shumin stood at the side, not even daring to come forward to greet Su Zhuoqian.

Qiao Jierou quickly stepped forward and greeted, “Hello, Mr. Su.”

Su Zhuoqian walked forward without even looking at her from the corner of his eye.

Qiao Jierou did not feel angry at being neglected. Instead, she felt that such an attitude from such a man was most normal.

He was the sun, moon, and stars high in the sky. He could not be easily touched.

How he treated her was how he would treat the others too.

The other guests automatically made way for Su Zhuoqian. Their gazes involuntarily welcomed him in and followed him toward the mourning hall.

When he arrived at the mourning hall, Qiao Dongliang was also very surprised, but he still bowed politely. “Thank you for coming.” Su Zhuoqian nodded in return. “My condolences.”

“Thank you.” Qiao Dongliang remained polite.

Su Zhuoqian walked in. Qiao Weiyang was the only one guarding the innermost part of the mourning hall.

He looked at Qiao Weiyang. These past few days, she looked a little tired and haggard. His heart ached for her.

Qiao Weiyang picked up an incense stick and handed it to him.

He held the incense and her hand at the same time.

“Pay your respects to Grandpa.” In front of the mourning hall, Qiao Weiyang did not linger with him and retracted her hand.

Only then did Su Zhuoqian salute humbly, bow, and insert the incense into the pot.

Qiao Weiyang asked, “Is Grandma feeling better? When I left this morning, she suddenly had a relapse. I’m sorry I wasn’t able to be by her side.”

“It’s a concussion. Fortunately, I’ve always been in the hospital. The doctor was prepared in advance, so she’s fine. I should be the one apologizing. I didn’t even come over to accompany you.”

“It’s okay, as long as Grandma is fine.” Qiao Weiyang smiled at him. “Grandpa isn’t such a petty person. He used to say that it’s fine as long as we remember the deceased in our hearts. Those who are still alive are the most important.

When I missed my mother in the past, he always said this to me. So, Grandma’s safety is the most important.”

Su Zhuoqian nodded and stood beside her. “I’ll accompany you here from now on. ”

Qiao Weiyang nodded gently.

Outside, Old Madam Qiao and the others were still waiting for Su Zhuoqian to come out so that they could have a good chat with him.

Unexpectedly, he started chatting with Qiao Weiyang and even stood beside her to accompany her.

For a moment, Qiao Jierou regretted not keeping a vigil for her grandfather.

Old Madam Qiao asked, “What’s going on?”

Huang Shumin would never believe that Qiao Weiyang was charming enough to know a man like Su Zhuoqian. She suddenly remembered something. “I heard that when Old Master was alive, he and Mr. Su seemed to be friends because of chess. Previously, Mr. Su even visited Old Master a few times. That must be why he came today.”

“I see.” Old Madam Qiao was relieved. “Then get Jierou to greet Mr. Su later.”

When the others heard that Su Zhuoqian and Old Master Qiao were friends, they believed it.

Seeing that he and Qiao Weiyang had been standing together and bowing to the guests, no one was surprised.

Not long after, all the guests had arrived, and the funeral officially began..
