The news of Lu Jingjing's suicide by jumping off a building wasn't widely reported due to Lu Hongkun suppressing the media. However, the abruptly canceled marriage between the Lu and Feng families, which had been the talk of the town for half a month, still sparked endless discussions, especially since it was called off on May Day.
Zhou Jin accompanied He Meilan in her mourning for several days. But, as the dead cannot come back to life, she could only counsel He Meilan to take care of her health and not to grieve excessively.
