Entangled: Crisscross Chapter 85

"I said, you cannot do it now that we already lowered the old man's coffin."
"Ah… that's simple. Just bring it up again." Sera was smiling at Nick. How pathetic.
"Sera, I don't think that is such a good idea. That's disrespectful to your grandfather." Nick's face was dark."You should leave and we can talk once we arrive in the mansion."
"Thanks, Mr. Zhang. I would rather see my grandfather." Sera tried to walk past Edward by three people suddenly blocked her. One was Nick, the other was Edward and the third was Edward's bodyguard. "You don't want me to see the man who gave me the entire fortune of the Zhang Family?"
"Uncle already told you not to create any ruckus. Please leave… you aren't welcome here." Edward said.
"Was it because you are trying to hide something?"
"Sera— what are you saying?"
Sera rolled her eyes at Zhang Ying's question. Zhang Ying's tone was extremely irritating. It was soft and too innocent. She was even tearing up! She looked scared and weak. How infuriating. Sera was too tired to handle this. "Three men are trying to gang up on me. And yet no one seemed to care." Sera sighed. She didn't hesitate to look at the camera from one of the media personnel that was allowed in the funeral. "The media… is here and you are shamelessly trying to stop me from seeing my grandfather. Mr. Zhang, I am wondering. Are you trying to hide something?"
"What— what are you trying to say?" Nick paled when he heard Sera's question. How could it be like that? There should be no way that Sera would know about the cremation!
"It seems that I was right. You are trying to hide something. What is it, Mr. Zhang?"
"You— "
"Sera you are going overboard." Obviously the knight in shining armor, Edward Fu already had a dark look on his face. Seeing Sera bully his beloved Zhang Ying's family made him so angry, he was about to burst. Rhea's smile turned brighter.
"Then please show me, my grandfather." Sera's smile was full of meaning. "If you are not hiding something… show him to me."
"Uncle already said he cannot do that. He — "
Sera's chuckle interrupted him. "Was it because… grandfather is not really in the coffin?" Her question started another round of whispers and gasp from the people around them. "If he isn't in the coffin… then what's with all the tears Zhang Ying?"

"I— "
"Stop talking to her Yingying. She is just an evil woman who wanted to cause chaos wherever she goes." Edward hugged the ashen-faced Zhang Ying.
"So, what is your choice, uncle? Are you going to show me grandfather's body and explain why he isn't in the coffin?"
"You— " Nick really wanted to cursed Sera. However, he couldn't do it in front of so many people!
"You— escort Miss Zhang out of this place." Again, Edward tried to order his people to make Sera leave. But how could Sera accept this?
"Mr. Fu, if your people will touch me. You will regret it." There wasn't a hint of emotion in Sera's voice. It was the exact opposite of the beautiful smile on her face. "When you showed up in that police station. I knew you were stupid. But this… your actions now just proves that you are actually beyond stupid."Her smile turned cold, freezing. "I know you are protecting your woman and I don't care about that. What I care about is my grandfather. I want to see the man for the last time."
When Edward heard her sharp words, he couldn't help but frown even more. The creases in between his brows deepened. The fact that he went to see her at the police station wasn't revealed. Edward thought that Sera would dare show her face here. And if she did, she wouldn't dare cause so much ruckus.
Moreover, he also expected that she wouldn't mention anything about the police station as that would embarrass her.
Who would have thought that she would nonchalantly say it in front of all these people? This woman was either not in her right mind or she simply doesn't care about what people think.
"You are an embarrassment to the Zhang Family!" Edward hissed.
"I don't know about that Mr. Fu. I don't remember killing anyone, especially not my grandfather."
What the hell was Sera trying to say? Even Edward felt infuriated. What does she mean by she didn't kill anyone? Why does it feel like she was trying to say something? Just as he expected, Sera was looking at Zhang Ying. She was staring at his woman!
Edward acted on instinct. He tightened his arms around Zhang Ying. How could Sera be this shameless?

Doesn't she care about what everyone would think about her?
"Now, please move," Sera said.
Edward didn't move an inch. Instead, he signaled his people to stop the reporters from recording.
Seeing this, Sera also signaled his bodyguard to move towards her. She only wanted to make sure that the guard could still record everything that she says and do.
"I'm sorry Miss Zhang, but I cannot allow you to approach the funeral," Edward said.
"And why is that?"
"You have caused a lot of problems to Uncle and Yingying. I don't think it is appropriate for you to come here. After causing all that stress."
"Stress from what?" she asked, smiling.
This smile, however, only made Edward more infuriated. He was already planning everything in his mind. All the reporters that were present here and witnessed what happened will receive a few hundreds of thousands from him just to keep their mouths shut.
The news about what happened today will never reach the ears of the people supporting Zhang Ying.
And as to the people who were watching the show, most of them would always value benefits on top of everything. How could they ally themselves to a woman like Sera? Edward's mother is a politician while his father was a businessman. There is no way that Sera would be able to match his background!
Because of this, he was confident that the people surrounding them would not spread this to everyone in the rich community.
"From what you did in the past." Edward bravely answered.
"Ah… I see…" Sera nodded. "So… you are indeed hiding something. You don't want to show me my grandfather's body because… he isn't there. Then you are trying to intimidate me by mentioning my past. Smart move Mr. Fu. You are indeed very smart."
Edward's lips thinned. He had a bad feeling about Sera's smile.
"However, you have forgotten one thing," Sera added. Her gaze then shifted towards the people around her. "I don't care about other people's opinions." Before she left this region, her reputation was already ruined. So what if those people would try to check her past?
All those years ago, she already experienced the greatest pains in her life. Other people's opinions wouldn't hurt her.
"However," Sera added, "You Mr. Fu, care about your woman's reputation. I don't know what her fans would do if they knew that… she along with her father cremated my grandfather's body to remove the evidence of murder?"
"You— "
'Murder? What did she say?'
'Did I hear it right?'
'Murder?'
'I thought it was some heart failure?'
'So it was murder?'
'I think she is just spouting nonsense.'
'But it does make sense, no?'
'You can easily resolve this matter if they let her see the old man's body.'
'It's not like the old man hated her, considering she was set to inherit everything that he had.'
'I know, right?'
'Isn't it suspicious?'
Edward's face turned grim when he heard the murmurs of the people standing close to him. He turned his head towards Sera. This woman was trying to accuse Zhang Ying and Nick Zhang in front of everyone? Why? Why does she look so confident that her words were true?
"Isn't that right, Miss Zhang?" Sera looked at Zhang Ying who was shaking in Edward's arms.
To everyone's surprise, Zhang Ying slowly pushed Edward's arms away. "It's true. We already cremated grandfather."
Everyone turned their eyes towards Zhang Ying's pale face. At this point, everyone couldn't help but feel pity towards the pale and weak woman who was standing in front of the domineering Sera. She looked like an ant, standing in front of a dragon!
True, Sera didn't look that tall. However, her confidence was enough to make her look strong and powerful.
"And true… we are indeed trying to cover a murder." Zhang Ying said. "But you must understand… the person who killed grandfather is already paying for her sins!"
Eh? Sera lifted an eyebrow. Zhang Ying was planning to tell everyone that her mother killed Old Man Zhang? This woman… was poisonous and dangerous!
Sera couldn't help but shiver inwardly.
How could Zhang Ying just betray her mother as if the woman didn't raised her and pampered her since she was a child?
