Chapter 245: Go Inside and Search

Lu Xixi, flustered, quickly poked Yao Yao.

"Mommy, what exactly happened? I didn't say anything wrong just now, did I?"

Lu Xixi, a little muddlehead, made a mistake and didn't realize it; Yao Yao helplessly patted her head.

"I did indeed say something wrong."

Watching Lu Xixi anxiously try to make up for the mistake.

Lu Xiwán, helplessly, took the tissue Yao Yao handed over and wiped away her tears.

Yao Yao has never been someone who likes to tease people.

Especially since that person is Lu Xixi, whom he has always dote on; Lu Xiwán naturally understood his meaning at this moment.

When it was time to go to the memorial service.

Lu Xiwán got up early in the morning and began preparing.

She applied a thick layer of powder on her face, then used white glue to create a centipede‑long scar, and deliberately deepened the eye sockets, giving a soulless effect.

Only then did Lu Xiwán look at the mirror and nod in satisfaction.

That way, she wouldn't be recognized when she went out.

Even Lu Xixi and Yao Yao, who had just gotten up, were stunned and took a long time to identify Lu Xiwán.

One adult with two children would be too conspicuous.

Lu Xiwán dressed the two of them up in disguise again.

"When we go out later, make sure you aren't recognized; unless absolutely necessary, never take off the mask, understand?"

Before leaving, Lu Xiwán repeated the admonition several times.

Fu Mingcheng had an excellent network of contacts while alive, so many people came to the memorial.

Each of them was a prominent figure in Haicheng.

Lu Xiwán, to be safe, also wore a mask and a hat.

Just before entering, she was stopped by a bodyguard.

Having no choice, she had to remove the mask and explained in a thick regional dialect.

"I am a distant relative of the Fu Family..."

Xie Zian happened to come out from inside, smoothly followed to help Lu Xiwán out of the situation, and ushered them in.

"The memorial won't start for a while yet; you all sit here and wait a moment."

"Later, find a chance to leave."

"A Jue will be here soon; make sure you don't run into him."

Xie Zian hurriedly finished the instructions and left.

Lu Xiwán, fearing discovery, sat quietly in the corner.

It was probably because their clothing was too shabby.

So no one approached to chat, saving Lu Xiwán from having to explain.

Xie Zian hurried over, lowered his voice and said, "It seems something happened over at A Jue's side; he'll come later, so you all wait a bit."…

Lu Xiwán had no objection, just nodded.

Yao Yao suddenly released his grip on her hand and said, "Mommy, I want to go see grandpa."

Lu Xiwán said nothing and let him go.

Fu Mingcheng's coffin was placed in the inner room.

A thick curtain separated the inner room from the outer hall.

Yao Yao, being young, slipped in quietly from the edge of the curtain, and no one noticed.

He looked at the calm Fu Mingcheng lying in the coffin, and tears fell pattering down.

But before long, a rustling sound came, and Yao Yao hurriedly hid behind the coffin.

Fu Zhuo and his son Fu He Song walked in.

Fu He Song was muttering curses.

He probably had been insulted outside and was venting his displeasure all at once.

"Alright, today is the old master's memorial; no matter what, keep your spirits up for me."

"I've already had someone hold back Fu Sijue."

"Before he arrives, you are the sole pillar of the Fu Family; you must hold the place up and never let those people look down on you."

Fu Mingcheng impatiently cut Fu He Song off.
