DF Chapter 127

Chapter 127: She Doesn’t Regret What She Did.

Song Ji’an didn’t wait for Sheng Jia to return. After saying goodnight to Sheng Huaiying, she went to her room and sent a message to Sheng Jia.

Perhaps standing beside Sheng Huaiying would turn her original three points of courage into eight, and casual chats would transform into a warm power surging through her body, causing her already restless heart to completely cross to the long-undecided shore after so many days.

She and Sheng Jia had really been entangled for a very, very long time.

Neither she nor Sheng Jia had ever had a chance to have a good talk. They were always resisting, speculating about each other, competing, and chasing each other.

If she were to go back five years and asked if she would regret squeezing into Sheng Jia’s life so eagerly, exhausting herself to become friends with Sheng Jia, and forcing Sheng Jia to face her feelings after discovering them, then she would probably still answer that she didn’t regret it.

She doesn’t regret what she did.

Young love was so pure, she simply liked Sheng Jia.

Like a reckless little calf, she always wanted to use her tender horns to pry everything open.

But those were times that Song Ji’an and Sheng Jia both missed.

Now, looking back on this sealed memory, she no longer had palpitations or heartache.

This didn’t happen overnight, but rather like a weak stream slowly Flocking in into her heart. When she tried to pull out this memory again to take a look, she suddenly realized that she no longer resisted. The stream had long become a spring, lying there quietly, giving her the courage to face it again, and also giving her the courage to be an active person again.

So, in the new chat box between her and Sheng Jia, there was the first message she actively sent.

——Where are you now?

The reply appeared the next morning, a very short one with a photo attached.

——In Kilimanjaro.

Attached was a photo of an elephant drinking water.

Greenish-yellow water plants, continuous mountains and clouds, and a sky of azure blue, beautiful like another world.

This photo could even be seen as carefully selected, and a filter had been added.

After all, as far as Song Ji’an knew, the sky probably wasn’t that blue there this season.

But Sheng Jia’s thoughts were about to burst out from the photo.

——Are you coming?

Song Ji’an didn’t reply to her. After getting up in the morning and eating the breakfast Sheng Huaiying had prepared for her, she drove to the Fenwang Funeral Home.

Cheng Fangyang, who was sitting in the office, was a little surprised to see her. “Aren’t you still on vacation?”

Song Ji’an had taken on several difficult-to-repair bodies during this period. Cheng Fangyang felt sorry for her being too tired, and plus the group of newly recruited children had gradually been able to get started, so he specifically gave Song Ji’an a week’s vacation to let her rest well.

After entering the office, Song Ji’an said while changing clothes, “Because I need a longer vacation, I’m going to come back and do the embalming that Little Wang and the others sent me yesterday.”

“Which one?” Cheng Fangyang frowned and asked.

For Song Ji’an to come back to do it, it must be a certain degree of difficulty.

“Old Lady Zhao.” Song Ji’an replied slowly.

Cheng Fangyang remembered who this was, and the expression on his face was a little hesitant. “Are you really still going to do that one?”

“Yes, Little Wang and the others were a little hesitant about whether to take it. I said yesterday that I would consider it. Today I’ve considered it, and I’m still taking it.” Song Ji’an said, “After this one, I will be out of the country for nearly two weeks. If there is a need, you can call me.”

“What are you going to do these two weeks?” Cheng Fangyang became curious. “Going out to play?”

“To do something that I should have done a long time ago.” Song Ji’an lowered her eyes and fastened the buttons on her cuffs, then picked up a mask and put it on her face. “Don’t worry, it’s not something bad.”

“You seem to have changed a bit, oh Ji’an,” Cheng Fangyang sized her up for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled. “Go ahead, I will definitely not disturb your vacation unless it’s absolutely necessary. After all, you are the great pillar of our funeral home.”

Song Ji’an nodded, the pair of eyes that were exposed were bent, it was the kind of smile that Cheng Fangyang hadn’t seen for a long time, with a bit of vitality.

Really rare.

It seemed like life suddenly had some new plans.

No longer lifeless, and no longer that lazy energy of getting by.

But Song Ji’an at this moment seemed to have some kind of infectiousness. When she saw Song Ji’an smile, she couldn’t help but smile along.

–

Old Lady Zhao passed away two days ago. She only had one daughter in her lifetime, but later her daughter went out to work and unfortunately passed away, and from then on she became a little crazy, becoming a well-known crazy woman in the community.

There weren’t many lonely old people with poor mental states who lived well.

But Song Ji’an knew Old Lady Zhao because she had come to the funeral home herself a week ago.

At that time, she was still a sober person, and she had combed her hair neatly, wearing her small-heeled leather shoes and formal wear that she didn’t know which year she had bought, and walked into Song Ji’an’s office.

She said that she had always been alone, and in the future, when she passed away, probably no one would know that she was really dead. Maybe her body would be smelly when it was discovered.

She didn’t want to bother others, so she wanted to prepare for herself in advance.

She didn’t plan to hold a memorial service, and there were no relatives to invite. Her only relative was her daughter, but her daughter had left before her. So she hoped that after she died, a piece of her daughter’s clothing could be with her before her body entered the crematorium.

For this, she wanted to give Song Ji’an a sum of money in advance, so that it wouldn’t be too late after she passed away.

She took out the stack of banknotes that she had pieced together little by little. In an era where everyone used mobile payment, she seemed to have been abandoned in the last century, still walking confused in the vortex of the times, and almost no one wanted to pull her up, but fortunately, she was almost at the end of time.

Song Ji’an didn’t rashly accept this matter.

She didn’t know who Old Lady Zhao had learned about her from, but this entrustment was a bit heavy, and she only said that she needed to consider it.

Because this meant that Song Ji’an needed to be responsible for everything after her death.

Perhaps everyone said that Old Lady Zhao was a crazy woman, but in Song Ji’an’s eyes, she wasn’t.

She would even calmly nod after Song Ji’an said she would consider it, smiling and saying, “Then I’ll wait for your news.”

Unfortunately, she didn’t wait for Song Ji’an’s reply, or rather, she died one or two hours before Song Ji’an responded to her.

Natural death, her life came to an end without illness or pain, with her daughter’s clothes placed beside her pillow before she died.

Perhaps she had known early on that Song Ji’an would definitely agree to her, and she had also put a letter of thanks to Song Ji’an on her pillow.

Song Ji’an was the first to discover her body, and then notified the community she belonged to to help take care of the funeral.

Old Lady Zhao didn’t have her body rot and stink before being discovered as she had thought. It could even be said that while she was still bathing in the sun, Song Ji’an, who was carrying fruits and gifts, had already discovered her death.

This allowed her to leave with dignity.

If things ended here, it could even be called a connection between Song Ji’an and Old Lady Zhao, but things were far from that simple.

After Old Lady Zhao passed away, the relatives who hadn’t contacted her during her lifetime suddenly came out. Her so-called uncles and so-called brothers came to her house, apparently coveting her remaining property, and refused to recognize the will she had left in a sober moment, citing her mental level as abnormal.

This matter involved a lot of things. Old Lady Zhao’s relatives were Make trouble, accusing the lawyer she had found during her lifetime of inducing her to sign the will, and preventing anyone who wanted to move her body. They just opened her door so loudly.

Song Ji’an was also bothered by them at the funeral home once in the middle. This was also one of the reasons why Cheng Fangyang urgently gave her a vacation. She needed to find some solutions, so that Song Ji’an wouldn’t be targeted by this group of rascals, and also to carefully consider whether to take this case before the matter was resolved.

The community legal assistance that Old Lady Zhao sought in the beginning was still an old acquaintance. Cheng Fangyang contacted the lawyer on the other side and found that it was actually a lawyer from Xu Lijing’s law firm.

Since she took Sheng Jia’s investment, she had been doing very well in the area of women’s assistance, and she had also cooperated with many communities in Jingjiang, providing free assistance services. Old Lady Zhao was one of the members who was introduced there.

Originally, this matter was only undertaken by a lawyer from the law firm himself. After this incident, Xu Lijing was also in contact. The will that Old Lady Zhao made in a sober situation had community notary personnel and recordings. No matter what, they could not lose.

But after calling the police several times, the other party used the reason of setting up a mourning hall for Old Lady Zhao to Leave it at her house and wouldn’t leave, and Noisy among the neighbors, accusing unscrupulous lawyers.

The first time they met, Song Ji’an originally wanted to forcibly take Old Lady Zhao’s body out, but she didn’t succeed.

This time, she had made sufficient preparations.

Song Ji’an put on her work clothes, picked up her tool bag and got into the car, and Little Wang and Little Zhou hurriedly followed behind her.

The destination wasn’t Old Lady Song’s house, but Xu Lijing’s law firm.

When she arrived, Xu Lijing was already waiting at the door with two lawyers. When she saw the car coming, she got into the car directly.

Song Ji’an hadn’t seen Xu Lijing much this year.

But the moment they looked at each other, the sense of strangeness almost disappeared immediately.

Xu Lijing couldn’t help but laugh. “Are you ready?”

“Of course I’m ready.” Song Ji’an also smiled. “Xu Lawyer should have a lot of experience in dealing with rascals, right?”

“Never a defeat.” Xu Lijing stretched out a finger and waved it. “Easy to catch, a few days ago I just needed to prepare some materials, just let them bounce around for two more days.”

Xu Lijing’s eyes emitted unlimited confidence. Over the past year, she had money in her hands, and she had been doing things more aggressively. She had seen all kinds of people and encountered all kinds of difficulties, but now her sign was Reputable.

“Then I’ll just go and rob people directly,” Song Ji’an’s eyes flashed slightly, and then she said softly: “Fortunately, it’s winter now, if it’s summer, Old Lady Zhao’s body wouldn’t last this long.”

Xu Lijing stared at her for a while, then suddenly pursed her lips and laughed. “I knew it, it wouldn’t be wrong for Old Lady Zhao to come to you.”

“Indeed, she shouldn’t regret coming to me,” Song Ji’an didn’t have the slightest surprise on her face, she just nodded calmly.

As early as the moment she discovered that Old Lady Zhao’s entrusted lawyer was from Xu Lijing’s law firm, she knew why Old Lady Zhao would suddenly come to her before her death to carry out this entrustment.

Because Xu Lijing trusted Song Ji’an, and also knew that Song Ji’an would definitely help the other party.

Just like now.

The car was driving smoothly, Little Wang and Little Zhou’s faces were tense. The last time they went to Old Lady Zhao’s house together, they were Bomb out by that group of rascals. The police came and it wasn’t useful. The two little girls were so angry that they Swear for several days when they came back. This time it was another hard battle. They came with the belief that they would snatch the person’s body back even if they had to rob it. Now the closer they got, the more nervous they became.

On the other hand, the lawyers on Xu Lijing’s side were more leisurely. Although they were Bomb out with them that day, it was probably because they had handled such things many times with Xu Lijing. Every time Xu Lijing was present, it would be resolved smoothly, so they didn’t have any worries.

Only Song Ji’an and Xu Lijing, who were sitting in the back of the car, were talking in low voices.

Xu Lijing looked at the familiar streets flashing past the window, and suddenly said, “Song Ji’an, don’t you think this is familiar?”

Song Ji’an nodded. “It is indeed familiar.”

Because her mother, Sheng Jia, had also experienced this incident many years ago.

But that time, they also won. They won the common spoils of their youth.

This was also the reason why Song Ji’an had to come back specifically to solve this matter personally before she went to complete her own ideas.

In her youth, she held a Heat and blood.

And after she finally faced the past, she discovered that the warmth in her chest still existed.
