Chapter 26 Funeral
Qiao Xiao worked from nine o'clock to eleven o'clock.
System: "Settling accounts... Working hours: 2 hours, total: 60 yuan."
Qiao Xiao: "It's time to go back."
...
Gu Jinghe and Qiao Xiao were dressed in dark clothes. His already slender figure looked even more like a thin, long charcoal pencil.
Inside the church, the sound of bells echoed in the air.
Besides the instructor, there were only the two of them present.
The two people circled the coffin, stroking it, bidding a final farewell to Gu Yuan.
At this moment, only the whisper of the wind and the mournful cries of the birds could be heard.
They followed the instructor to the prepared cemetery and watched Gu Yuan being buried.
After the burial, Gu Jinghe stared blankly at the tombstone. Under the blazing sun, Qiao Xiao held a parasol for him.
His closest relatives are buried inside.
After the instructor went through the procedure, he left.
This time, Gu Jinghe didn't cry. He simply said, "They shouldn't be buried together."
Qiao Xiao looked somewhat shocked and asked, "Why?"
Gu Jinghe: "My father had an extramarital affair a long time ago, which is why my mother treated me this way."
There was no hint of hatred towards his mother in his words, even though she had imprisoned him and ruined his body.
Qiao Xiao silently thought to herself, "So, you're not even going to fight back, is that it?"
She said, "You should rest for the next few days. There are still some things to take care of: canceling your mother's household registration, handling inheritance procedures, and other related matters."
Gu Jinghe replied listlessly, "Hmm."
Qiao Xiao opened the back door for him. Gu Jinghe stared intently at her, bit his thin lips, and struggled to sit down, like a resentful woman with a broken leg.
The two returned to the villa in silence.
Qiao Xiao: "I'm going to work now, you get some rest."
Gu Jinghe had his back to her and didn't answer. A "click" interrupted his thoughts. He turned around in disbelief, but she had already disappeared, leaving only a tightly closed door.
He was too bitter to speak, "Work is important, but you didn't even offer me any comfort."
A misty haze appeared in his ethereal eyes, his heart heavy with complex emotions. "Stay with me, okay?"
the other side,
System notification: "Storyline - Rescue complete, gained 3 energy points, increased favorability by 10 points. Current energy value is 6, Gu Jinghe's favorability is 57."
Qiao Xiao: "System, I heard you say that Gu Jinghe is taking a year off from school."
System: "Yes, host, if he had attended school normally, he would have already graduated."
Qiao Xiao: "What did he study?"
System: "Finance".
Qiao Xiao: "It's not a world-class university, is it?"
System: "Yes, he is studying abroad."
Qiao Xiao: "How much of their assets do they have left?"
System: "Approximately 5000 million."
Qiao Xiao: "Oh, you're really rich." She chuckled, "After level two, you'll rarely need energy testing anymore."
system:"…"
Qiao Xiao: "Let's go to the underground factory and earn some fighting points."
...
"Why are they so hard to beat?!"
He was already struggling to keep up with his opponent's moves. Regardless of his physical appearance, his strength and reflexes were absolutely monstrous.
System notification: "Host, you can exchange combat points for items."
Qiao Xiao was drenched in sweat. She knelt on the ground, pressed her legs down to pin down the fallen enemy, and then punched him again and again until he passed out.
She asked, "What prop?"
System: "Attack Speed Water, Potent Water, Stamina Supplement."
Qiao Xiao: "What's the use?"
System: "Attack Speed Water: Increases attack speed by 50%, Potent Water: Increases attack power by 50%, Stamina Supplement: Restores 50% of own stamina."
