Cremation Ceremony
A mournful atmosphere enveloped Lord Bai Jue's residence. The luxurious mansion was now full of condolences from everyone who knew Jing Bai. Besides being the only daughter of Bai Jue, who is a billionaire, Jing Bai is a public figure. She is a very famous singer in the city of Shanghai. She has a lot of fans, whether it's on her YouTube channel or her tiktok account.
Alice, Jing Bai's best friend, was unfortunate, and she didn't stop crying. Even though they are of different nationalities, their friendship is heartfelt. Alice was in shock when she heard the sad news about Jing Bai's sudden death in an accident. A few hours earlier, Jing Bai was still with her.
"Uncle, I really didn't expect that Jing Bai would leave so soon." said Alice sadly. She was still sitting with Bai Jue, sitting beside her in a wheelchair. Bai Jue was currently unable to speak or move, he seemed to have died with his daughter forever and ever. There were only tears running down his cheeks at this point.
Alice is very sad about the condition of her best friend's father, who looks very worried. She stayed by Bai Jue's side and didn't leave him in the slightest. Alice still remembered what Jing Bai had said the night before she had the accident. At that time they were in a restaurant, and they had dinner together.
"Alice, if later I can't take care of my Papa anymore, will you take my place to take care of and love him?" asked Jing Bai, suddenly making Alice frown. She wondered why Jing Bai was talking like that, as if he was going far away and never coming back.
"What are you talking about Xiao Jing?" Alice asked as she continued to eat her food. Besides Jing Bai's best friend, Alice is Jing Bai's manager who takes care of all her needs, including financial matters. Alice was like a sister to Jing Bai, who since her father remarried to Wu Huan, who was very mean to her.
Alice already knew all about Jing Bai's family, which Jing Bai had told herself about her stepmother's treatment. It was just that Alice didn't know that Jing Bai was hit by a car while she was being chased by Wu Huan's men because Jing Bai overheard what Wu Huan was talking about with her boyfriend.
"I just feel like these few days will be busy. So I feel at ease if you want to take care of Papa." said Jing Bai. Alice still remembered clearly because Jing Bai had only met her last night and told her everything. Even without Alice knowing, Jing Bai put her cell phone in Alice's room as she picked up Alice before they went to the restaurant.
Alice now understood that their meeting last night was her last meeting with Jing Bai. Now she was going to take Jing Bai to her final resting place. Alice was always near Bai Jue, and even she was the one who pushed the wheelchair belonging to her best friend's father. Meanwhile, Wu Huan was busy meeting the guests. She didn't care about Bai Jue, especially now that Bai Jue wasn't normal.
The cremation of Jing Bai's body went smoothly. After being cremated, Alice's ashes were then stored before being buried. Alice would keep Jing Bai's ashes for a few days before being sprinkled into the sea as Jing Bai herself wished a few days ago.
"Uncle Bai Jue, Aunt Wu Huan, as long as Xiao Jing's ashes are still at home I will stay here and help Aunty take care of Uncle Bai Jue who is still in shock. Auntie also has to meet the guests right?" Alice, asked, was immediately approved by Wu Huan. She was happy that when Alice offered to take care of Bai Jue, she could spend time with her young and dashing lover.
"Alice, it just so happens that you want to stay for a few days. I'm baffled about who to leave your Uncle with. I have to take care of many things, including Jing Bai's insurance money." said Wu Huan smiling happily.
Alice found it a bit odd that Wu Huan didn't feel sad. She thought that her best friend's stepmother only cared about money and money. Even though she wasn't short on cash because Bai Jue always gave her whatever she wanted.
"Of course Auntie, I am very saddened by Xiao Jing's sudden departure, I will be here before the ashes are thrown into the sea. She once said that she was afraid of being alone, so I would accompany her for a few days." Alice immediately pushed Jing Bai's father's wheelchair into her room, but Wu Huan asked Alice to take Bai Jue to Jing Bai's room, arguing that Bai Jue wanted it. Alice could only do as Wu Huan ordered.
"Okay, Auntie, I will take care of uncle tonight. Auntie rest. You must be very tired." Alice saw Wu Huan leave her along with Bai Jue. Alice asked Jing Bai's maidservant to help her move Bai Jue into bed, after which she covered Bai Jue, who she treated like her own father.
Alice waited for Bai Jue all night because Jing Bai's father had a fever. Maybe he was unfortunate because he lost his only daughter. Alice felt sad too, and she took care of Bai Jue sincerely because Bai Jue also treated her like her own daughter. Alice has no family because she used to live in an orphanage. She managed to enter university through a scholarship program and then got to know Jing Bai, and they later became best friends to this day.
Jing Bai didn't even keep anything secret from Alice. She always told Alice everything about her stepmother, Wu Huan, who mistreated her when her father wasn't home.
