816 On the Seventh Day

During the mornings of the seven days, the heirs and the two old Heads would commemorate the funeral with Lu Yin Ze without missing a day. However, some of them could only stay for a few hours.

When night came, the elders and the heirs would have to return.

The heirs who were about to leave glanced at Lu Yin Ze's direction worriedly.

Seeing the previous handsome face becoming paler and haggard, their hearts turned anxious.

They went to the corner to have a discussion.

It was Tang Xinyang who opened this topic. Xiong Zhi followed along and suggested having a rotating schedule of who would stay with Lu Yin Ze for the whole day and night.

They were worried that Lu Yin Ze who was getting thinner day by day at an alarming rate would suddenly collapse. The man clearly needs a companion to stay by his side during these days.

Although he had butlers and servants to care for him, the stubborn man still need a friend who would always have to watch over him and remind him.

Lu Yin Ze came to them in the middle of the discussion. When he heard what they were discussing about, he was ashamed.

"I can't let you guys be impeded. I will take care of myself well. You guys are still recovering and have matters to attend to."

Tang Yin looked at him. "Have you seen yourself in the mirror lately? Your hair becomes dull and the area under your eyes is black. You are like a zombie."

Xiong Zhi also commented, "You are thinner and paler too. Much worst than I met you on the rooftop." historical

Lu Yin Ze could not help but touched his hair. It was not soft and silky like before. He also saw his pale skin and thin wrist.

Lu Yin Ze: "..."

Does he really look like a zombie? Perhaps he should check his reflection later.

But still, he could not let them be burdened by his own matters.

"I will take note of it. You don't have to divide your time to come here. It is enough you came yesterday and today. I am already grateful."

However, the heirs still insisted on accompanying him to the funeral wakes day and night on the upcoming days. His argument was drowned by many voices.

Tang Yin waved her hand to these worried heirs.

"Don't trouble yourselves. This man has thin skin to trouble all of you. I can stay here."

All heads turned to her.

Lu Yin Ze was also stunned. He knows he was easily embarrassed and ashamed, but why does she need to stay?

Tang Yin could see the doubts in their eyes.

"What is it? Cough it up." She said in a confident and arrogant tone. The demure and timid Tang Yin was offline.

"Can you not sleep for seven days?" Tang Xinyang asked her sister. Her sister was lazy and stubborn, could she really do this job properly?

Tang Yin rolled her eyes at her sister's doubts. "I have taken care of him and visited him frequently n the hospital as I did with you guys. I barely sleep at that time. So what's the problem? It's nothing new. Besides..."

Tang Yin then looked at her sister's face who was a bit pale.

Her sister had to stay at the hospital for a week for her injuries to heal and to completely flash out the drugs in her system. After Tang Xinyang recovered, she had to clean up the mess of the incident and take care of the business without a break.

Tang Yin was useless in business. She could only cheer her sister and grandmother at the side.

"Besides, you guys all are patients and have responsibilities awaiting you unlike me."

Tang Yin pointed at Guan Gu Ri and Guan Xixin who were still contemplating, "Brother Gu Ri is still injured. Brother Xixin is busy with Guan Empire."

She then pointed next to Jang Shin and Tang Xinyang, "You guys might have recovered. But both of you have a company to take care of."

Then she looked at Linfeng and Xiong Zhi.

"Xiong Zhi and Brother Linfeng are the same."

Tang Yin pointed at herself. "I am the only idle."

Tang Yin was the only one who was useless here and idle. She was not traumatized by the incident or got tortured. She doesn't have a company to take care of. For now, she was the healthiest and free person among them.

The others also realized this after Tang Yin pointed it out one by one.

Guan Gu Ri seemed to be convinced. "If you need help, we are always ready to help you."

Tang Yin nodded.

Tang Xinyang was proud of her sister. Her rebellious sister had now learned to care for others.

"I am now at ease that you are accompanying him. My Yin'er has grown up."

Tang Xinyang was about to hug her sister to show her affection when Tang Yin avoided her sister's hug. She would be smashed by those strong arms if she did not avoid it.

"I have no choice. Actually, I am quite guilty. I am the only one who is not hurt. I am part of this conspiracy but I did not suffer along with you. Let me at least contribute by taking care of you guys."

The rest was finally convinced amidst Lu Yin Ze's insistent complaints.

Xiong Zhi stared at Tang Yin. For the first time, she held Tang Yin's hand.

"Thank you. You are actually a great friend."

Tang Yin: ╬

"It's because you are not my friend so you didn't know my sweet and lovely side."

Lu Yin Ze was a bit stunned. He turned to Tang Yin, "We are friends?"

"Shut up."

Tang Yin then glanced at Linfeng. The demure and softhearted Tang Yin was now online. She smiled sweetly, "Don't worry about him Linfeng gege, I will make sure he eats well."

Linfeng: "...."

He really doesn't care about his rival's well-being.

Since it was agreed that Tang Yin would accompany Lu Yin Ze, she temporarily stayed in the Lu province.

Lu Yin Ze rarely sleeps and ate in those seven days. He was originally thin after spending three weeks in a coma. He became thinner and paler due to the funeral. The previous handsome Lu Yin Ze became duller and haggard.

Whenever he forgot to eat or sleep, Tang Yin would strongly remind him.

Tang Yin was true to her words. She did not let the man abuse himself.

If the man won't eat, she would guilt-trip him by not eating too. This made Lu Yin Ze argue with her many times.

Lu Yin Ze was frustrated outwardly. But inwardly he was glad of Tang Yin's presence.

If he had no friend by his side during these days and nights, he might have spent those times wallowing in sorrow and self-blame. But since he was tired of getting into arguments and bickering with Tang Yin in the daytime and every mealtime, he become tired and directly fell asleep at night while Tang Yin keep on watch.

Thus, Lu Yin Ze finally had some energy in the morning to receive the people's condolence. Although he was still pale and thin, he doesn't much look like a dead body walking.

On the last day, the Lu family finally shoo the media away. The six days were enough to let the world commemorate Old Lu's funeral.

No matter what news was leaking to the outside world about this grand funeral, Lu Yin Ze did not glance or take an interest in it.

He doesn't have to. Because Xiong Zhi, Linfeng, Old Xiong, and Mistress Tang were suppressing negative comments in the media.

They have to at least make the young man mourn for his grandfather peacefully.

When afternoon came on the last day, only a handful of people stood beside Lu Yin Ze.

Old Xiong and Mistress Tang.

Tang Xinyang and Jang Shin.

Tang Yin and Guan Gu Ri.

Xiong Zhi and Linfeng.

These people intend to stay with Lu Yin Ze until the morning comes.

Linfeng glanced at his phone. There was only an hour left before the commemoration ends. He excused himself.

When he came back he was together with a man in black mourning clothes.

When the heirs saw him, they all turned silent.

Xiong Zhi stood up and glanced at the other heirs. They understood her gaze and followed her out.

Lu Yin Ze saw them leaving. He was a bit surprised that the heirs would leave at this important moment. There was still an hour left, where they would go?

He was about to send them off when he saw the person beside Linfeng.

Lu Yin Ze: !!

Lu Yin Ze turned stiff. He opened his mouth then closed it. His silver-blue eyes were in disbelief. Afterward, recognition and understanding came to his eyes.

Those pair of eyes heated up. He choked as he called out softly.

"...Brother?"
