Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Huo Yunting seemed to have passed on some of his drunkenness to her . The next morning, Lu Zhaoyang found it difficult to wake up to her usual alarm .
It took a few rounds of alarm before she finally got out of bed .
Good heavens, I’m late for work!
She ignored Huo Yunting and rushed outside to make breakfast .
Huo Yunting woke up by himself when breakfast was ready . He quietly finished his meal and even left before her . Through it all, he gave no signs of acknowledgement of what happened last night .
Lu Zhaoyang felt unsettled as she drove to work by herself .
Moments after she started working, she received an unexpected call from Huo Zhenning .
“Uncl —” She realized something was wrong before she could finish and immediately tried again . “Dad, what’s up?”
“Yang Yang, are you free now? I’d like to visit Qiu Ran . Can you tell me where her grave is?”
Huo Zhenning sounded calm .
It had been almost half a month since the Huo Yunting’s scandalous outburst .
Being outside the capital, she did not know how the upper class society took the incident, but it was almost certainly a disaster .
Lu Zhaoyang had mixed feelings . It was good that Huo Zhenning was willing to visit Aunt Qiu after everything that transpired . After all, she was his wife .

However, did her mother know about this?
“I’ll take you there . Are you here already?”
“I’m at the airport . ”
She decided to accompany him .
When Qiu Ran was still alive, his relationship with Huo Yunting was terrible .
Mending their relationship was near impossible .
Nevertheless, she would do whatever could .

After she picked Huo Zhenning at the airport, they went to the cemetery together . The tombstone looked exactly the way it was when she first visited — brand new and spotless . The staff must be taking care of the place .
Huo Zhenning laid down a bouquet of chrysanthemums and looked at the photo on the tombstone with harrowed eyes . He remained silent for a very long time, absorbed in his thoughts .
Theirs was an arranged marriage, designed to bring both families together .
The Qiu family continued to thrive while he divorced and got married again . Nevertheless, they had been husband and wife for more than two decades . He had hoped that they would both have closure and that she would continue to live a good life .
Her unexpected death came as a shock to him .
Lu Zhaoyang stood quietly beside him, unable to think of anything suitable to say .
After a while, she asked quietly, “How is my mum these days?”

“She’s not doing so good, staying indoors most of the time . ” Huo Zhenning looked at her and sighed . “How’s that idiot doing? He may be a scoundrel but he is still my son . ”
“He’s… not doing so well too . He has been more quiet lately, but I will look after him . ” She took a look at the time . “Let’s go . ”
They should not stay here too long, in case Huo Yunting found out about their visit .
“He is still furious about this matter, that is why he spoke so cruelly . I believe that your mother is innocent . She is such a kind person and I cannot imagine her trying to provoke Qiu Ran . Don’t you worry, I will look after her too . ”
Huo Zhenning comforted her as they made their way to the car .
Lu Zhaoyang recalled the last time she visited Qiu Ran, the madness that she witnessed .
It was not her mother, but her . She instigated Aunt Qiu Ran’s outburst!
“I hope that this will be the end of things . Tell Huo Yunting to let his mother rest in peace and move on . ”
Abruptly, Huo Zhenning hummed in exasperation . “I am already here in the city, but I know that he does not wish to see me, so I will give that a miss . ”
