Defrosting The Cold Young Master - Chapter 722 - Chapter 722: Chapter 726: Fifth Brother has a Plan

Chapter 722: Chapter 726: Fifth Brother has a Plan

After arranging everything in Country Y and notifying Ye Xingli, Gu Junzhu, Ye Xingbei, and their companions left Country Y, arriving in Feng City the next evening.

It was unclear how Qiao Zui had managed to persuade not only Gu Junzhu, Ye Xingbei, Qiao Zui, Fang Yao, and Duan Yanbing to accompany them, but also Mi Sheng and Situ Jinse to come to Feng City.

However, that could be understood.

Feng City is internationally renowned as the hometown of sweets, and most girls have little resistance to sweet candies.

Adding to that, Qiao Zui’s persuasive nature, it was not a difficult task for him to convince Mi Sheng and Situ Jinse to return to his hometown.

Of course, most importantly, Mi Sheng also had feelings for Qiao Zui.

Although the two had not yet pierced the thin layer of paper between them, one could tell from their subtle affectionate interactions that they were interested in each other.

Upon arriving in Feng City, they did not rest.

Gu Junzhu left Duan Yanbing, along with Xiao Shu, Lingyue, and the children, with the members of the Qiao Family who had come to pick them up. He, along with Ye Xingbei, Qiao Zui, Mi Sheng, Situ Jinse, and Fang Yao set out for the Fang Family residence.

Originally, Ye Xingbei wanted Mi Sheng and Situ Jinse to rest at the Qiao Family home with the children, but Mi Sheng and Situ Jinse insisted on joining them in mourning Senior Master Fang, so Ye Xingbei agreed.

Both Mi Sheng and Situ Jinse were well-mannered girls. Despite the fatigue from the journey, both young ladies did not complain. They silently followed the group to the Fang Family residence.

The group first followed Fang Yao to the mourning hall in the backyard.

As soon as they entered, Fang Yao knelt in front of the ice coffin, his tears splashing onto the ground, his voice choked, “Grandpa, I’m sorry, I arrived late!”

He kneeled beside the ice coffin, looking down at the old man inside.

With a serene expression and benevolent gaze, the old man looked as though he was sleeping peacefully.

Fang Yao lay on the coffin weeping inconsolably.

A man does not cry easily, but it’s hard to hold back tears in the face of sadness.

Gu Junzhu and others accepted the incense offered by the Fang family members, and together they paid their respects to Senior Master Fang.

After the ceremony, Qiao Zui stepped forward, supporting Fang Yao’s arm, “Brother Yao, restrain your grief. Your leg is still injured, and grandpa would feel distressed seeing you like this.”

Hearing the butler’s report, Fang Yixian, the eldest young master of the Fang Family, hurried over.

Seeing Gu Junzhu, he politely greeted him, “I didn’t expect Fifth Brother to come, it means a lot.”

Gu Junzhu nodded: “May you be consoled.”

Fang Yixian looked grief-stricken, “Who would have thought…that grandpa would be gone just like that…”

At the edge of the ice coffin, Fang Yao’s body seemed to sink under a tremendous weight. Qiao Zui, with an injured right arm, was unable to exert much strength to lift him up.

Hearing the voice of Fang Yixian, he quickly turned his head and beckoned, “Brother Xian, come and help me. The ground is too cold; he can’t take it. If he kneels for too long, he will be in extreme pain later.”

Fang Yixian saw Fang Yao crying soundlessly over the coffin and sighed. He quickly walked over to help Qiao Zui lift Fang Yao off the ground.

He bent down to pat Fang Yao’s knee, then squeezed his shoulder, “Alright, grandpa cared for you most. If he were still here, he would have been heartbroken to see you mistreating your own body. Not for any other reason, but for your grandpa to rest peacefully, you have to take care of yourself.”

He held Fang Yao’s shoulder and pushed him outside, his gaze looked towards Gu Junzhu, and he invited, “Fifth Brother, please, to the living room.”

The group followed Fang Yixian towards the front courtyard.

On the way, Qiao Zui introduced Ye Xingbei, Mi Sheng, and Situ Jinse to Fang Yixian.
