Chapter 145 His Apology.

"Who was saying that she is poor? Look at what she is wearing, damn. She must be freckling rich to wear that dress and necklace."

"I will not be surprised if she is rich. Wasn't Lijuan like this? She too preferred to keep a low profile. Coming out as high profile only when needed."

"Now I know why first grandpa was so proud of her. I guess, we wrongly judged her. She is rich."

"Look at her guard. She has a freaking guard from twenty-four-seven services. They are the best security services in the country."

"Why are you praising her? I think that she slept with someone to get all this. Otherwise, how can she become so rich in such a short period of time?"

"I am sure, her sugar daddy gave her all this in exchange for some pleasurable nights."

There was a mixed reaction from everyone, especially the ones who were close to Qin Yihong and his family. There were many families who were close to Qin Lijuan and were now impressed with Zhou Liying.

Zhou Liying walked toward the front and stopped in front of the coffin of her grandpa. She noticed that the Qin family was doing all drama of crying and feeling sad. She groaned.

Tears fell from the eyes of Zhou Liying with each second of the procession of the cremation ceremony. She remembered the cremation ceremony of her mother and then her grandmothers, and her heart turned heavy.

Mu Yuehan looked at her tears and removed them with gentleness. He smiled at her. He then passed her his handkerchief. She accepted his handkerchief and was about to remove her tears when she froze.

She looked at Mu Yuehan with wide eyes. She felt as if something similar had happened before. She felt such a strong feeling in her heart that it left her breathless for a second.

Mu Yuehan looked at her and could not stop himself from remembering how badly she had cried in his arms when she got to know that Qin Yanze collapsed, back on juju island. He was there, supporting her in this way.

Both were lost in their thoughts. Mu Yuehan was lost in his thoughts from the past and Zhou Liying was trying to remember those memories.

"Now, granddaughter of the deceased will come to give him her last tribute." The priest announced, breaking the trace of Zhou Liying.

She took a deep breath. She dabbed the handkerchief over her cheeks to remove her tears. She then climbed up on the stage to give her last tribute to her grandpa.

"I don't know what to say." She shrugged her shoulders. Her eyes were fixed on the coffin which was already lowered to the ground. "There are so many things which I can tell about him but I don't want to bore you all."

"My grandpa, he was a great man." A sob left her lips. She looked down and exhaled, trying her best to keep her emotions in check. "He always lived his life with truth and dignity. He loved his loved once more than his core."

"Ask me about him. When the whole city was against me, trying to see me fall, he was the only one to support me. He gave me new wings, to fly high in the sky and now because of him, I have achieved so much. He was the best grandpa anyone could have."

Her lower lips trembled. She took it in between her teeth and took long breaths. She kept praising Qin Yanze, forgetting the count of time. It was only when that it became hard for her to control her emotions, she stepped down the stage.

Many guests were looking at her, seconding her views about Qin Yanze. They knew what a great man he was!

**

After the ceremony, many guests left where many stayed behind to have the lunch arranged by the Qin family, also to give some support to everyone who lost their loved one.

The media was also invited to take interviews with the guest, to have their views on Qin Yanze, and also to interview the Qin family.

Many businessmen, with whom Zhou Liying had dealt before leaving Shanghai, came forward to give their condolences to her, out of their respect for the smart woman they once met.

Sister of Mu Yuehan, Mu Yifei also attended the ceremony because she was also a friend of Qin Yeteng. Mu Yuehan ignored her all the time, not wanting to come as doubtful in front of Zhou Liying.

Zhou Bingbing and Kris also attended the ceremony. They came to support Zhou Liying. Zhou Bingbing wanted to walk toward her cousin and hug her tight, but she controlled herself.

Zhou Bingbing knew that the reality of her relationship with Zhou Liying was a big card in the hand of Zhou Liying. Zhou Liying planned to use this card to have her revenge on whoever did any wrong to her.

From a distance, Zhou Bingbing nodded to Zhou Liying and Zhou Liying returned her nod.

"Mister Kris, what are you doing here at the cremation ceremony of Miss Qin's grandpa? Can we say, you are pointing toward a collaboration in-between you and miss Qin?"

Kris and Zhou Bingbing were surrounded by the paparazzi, the moment they came out. It was a known fact that news from the film industry had more buzz.

"As I have cleared before, I will never collaborate with Qin Yutong. And as about my visit here, I came here out of humanity. I met mister Qin during one of my visits to the hospital. I liked that man, so here I am, giving him my last tribute." Kris lied.

He was asked some more questions before he was let go because the paparazzi got busy with the other guests.

"Qin Tian, can I talk with you?" Fan Yifeng cut the path of Zhou Liying and stood in front of her, the moment he found her alone.

Zhou Liying sarcastically smiled when she saw him. "Here you are. Already, everyone has talked with me. Only you were left. Tell me, what do you have to talk about with me?"

"Can you not be so sarcastic with me?" He raised his voice at her with authority.

"If not sarcastic, then how should I talk with you?" She too raised her voice. She wrapped her arms around her chest to show her authority. "Tell me what you want to say because I don't have much time to waste on you."

"First of all, I will like to apologise to you."

Zhou Liying raised her brows when she heard him. A mocking smile was there on her lips.

"Can you repeat? I think I misheard you. I heard you apologise, which is not possible."
