Chapter 278 Fallen leaves return to their roots
When Yun Ning and Gu Sili went to look for Li's father and mother, they were no longer there.
Including the ice coffin that contained Li Bowen's body, it was also missing.
The two looked at each other and felt something was wrong.
Gu Sili called over a staff member and asked, "Where did the deceased and his parents go?"
The staff member answered truthfully: "The two elderly people called a car and sent the deceased to the funeral home, saying that he would be cremated."
"what?"
Yun Ning was shocked, "Why is it so sudden?"
The staff member recalled and explained: "After the two elderly people came, the deceased's girlfriend also came. She cried very sadly and talked to the two elderly people for a long time. Then, she took the deceased's ice coffin and left together."
"The deceased's girlfriend?"
Yun Ning said to Gu Sili anxiously, "It's Lin Xiaoxiao!"
Gu Sili's eyes were cold and grim: "We asked her to stay abroad before, and she came back quietly some time ago. If Li Bowen hadn't gotten into trouble, she wouldn't have had the chance to jump up and down here!"
Yun Ning grabbed Gu Sili's hand and advised, "Okay, don't bother with Lin Xiaoxiao for now. We have to go there quickly. If uncle and aunt cremate Li Bowen's body, we won't be able to do an autopsy!"
Gu Sili also knew the priorities of the matter. She held Yun Ning's hand and walked forward quickly: "Come on, I'll take you there now."
the other side.
Inside the funeral home.
The sky was so gloomy that it was hard to breathe.
The staff slowly pushed the cart carrying Li Bowen's body forward.
The sound of the car's wheels was particularly harsh in the silent space.
Li Bowen's body has been carried to the cremation table by the staff.
His face was purple and he closed his eyes quietly.
It was as if he had just fallen into a deep sleep.
It’s a pity that it’s a sleep from which I will never wake up again.
Then, the cart moved closer and closer to the blazing crematorium.
The flames spurting out of the furnace mouth danced fiercely.
The moment Li Bowen's body was sent into the crematorium, the blazing flames instantly enveloped him.
The flames licked the body wantonly, making crackling sounds, as if telling the tragic farewell of Li Bowen.
Mr. Li and Mrs. Li supported each other.
Their bodies seemed to have been stripped of support; every step they took was extremely difficult and shaky.
Father Li's face was full of wrinkles and filled with deep sorrow.
He stared at the raging flames, his lips trembling, but he couldn't utter a word.
Endless sorrow surges in my heart like a raging tide.
Li's mother had already burst into tears.
Her hair was scattered messily on both sides of her cheeks, and tears kept rolling down from her bloodshot eyes.
"Child, my child! Bowen! Bowen!"
Mother Li's voice was hoarse and she waved her hands weakly in the air.
It seems like he wants to grab something, and it seems like he wants to retain something, but in the end everything is in vain.
The air around them seemed to freeze. Only the grief-stricken cries of Mr. and Mrs. Li echoed in this silent space for a long time.
Lin Xiaoxiao supported Li's father with one hand and Li's mother with the other.
Tears kept rolling down my eyes, but my heart was filled with joy.
Disappeared……
Li Bowen's body disappeared completely!
All traces of her murder were erased.
From now on, no one knew that Yun Ning’s child was in his hands!
She was one step closer to becoming the wife of the president of Gu Corporation.
If the situation didn't allow it, Lin Xiaoxiao would have laughed out loud.
She tried her best to suppress her joy and continued to comfort Mr. and Mrs. Li while crying.
……
When Yun Ning and Gu Sili arrived, Li's father and mother had already walked out slowly, holding Li Bowen's urn.
Yun Ning's steps froze.
She saw that Mr. Li's back seemed to be even more hunched at this moment.
Every step I took seemed extremely difficult.
The old hands were holding Li Bowen's urn tightly.
The box is dark brown, and the wood texture looks a little obscure in the dim light.
There are delicate yet ancient carvings on the box surface, and the edge of the lid is inlaid with a thin silver border, shining with a cold light.
Mother Li's eyes were so red and swollen that she could hardly open them. Tears continued to flow down her wrinkled cheeks, wetting her clothes on her chest.
Behind them, the funeral home stood quietly.
Like a silent bystander, witnessing the saddest farewell in the world.
Yun Ning paused, then stepped forward again.
Who knew that the next second, he was pulled back by Gu Sili.
The man shook his head at her and whispered, "Li Bowen's body has been cremated. Even if we want to perform an autopsy and check for traces, we won't find anything. If we tell them this news now, not only will there be no room for change, but it will also make the two old people sad."
Yun Ning's fist loosened, and finally nodded: "Okay, I understand."
Lin Xiaoxiao had sharp eyes and immediately spotted Yun Ning and Gu Sili not far away.
She couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.
Lin Xiaoxiao has been busy doing a lot of things recently.
I didn't even have the chance to meet Gu Sili properly.
After not seeing him for a while, the man became more handsome and his expression became more mature and steady.
However, Yun Ning beside him looked particularly annoying.
But that's okay……
Lin Xiaoxiao had infinite longing in her heart, as she had Gu Sili's child in her hands.
If she is given some more time to prepare, she will soon become the wife of the president of Gu Group!
Lin Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, put on a sad look, and walked quickly forward, wanting to talk to Gu Sili.
Gu Sili also pulled Yun Ning forward.
Just when he was face to face with Lin Xiaoxiao.
The man suddenly passed her and came in front of Li's father and Li.
Lin Xiaoxiao was left aside, her face looking grim and ugly.
Gu Sili, however, seemed not to notice and took the initiative to hold the hands of Li's father and mother, saying in a heavy voice: "Uncle and aunt, please accept my condolences."
Mr. and Mrs. Li shook their heads and were crying so hard that they couldn't speak.
Yun Ning advised again: "The two elders must take care of their health, otherwise, Li Bowen's spirit in heaven will also be worried."
Father Li sighed and said, "Yes, I can't let anything happen to me, and I can't let my child worry. I have to send the child home with my wife, so that he can return to his roots."
Gu Sili nodded: "Please rest assured, I will send someone to escort you two back to your hometown, and I will also help you to hold a grand funeral for Li Bowen."
Father Li held Gu Sili's hand and said, "Thank you. Bowen is lucky to have good friends like you."
Lin Xiaoxiao also bowed to Gu Sili and said, "Thank you, Mr. Gu. I will follow my uncle and aunt back to Bowen's hometown. After his funeral, I will go abroad."
She said these words just to show her understanding and obedience.
