In front of the tombstone, Su Yan and Yue Chuang stood quietly. Now, only the two of them were left. These few days, Su Yan had been accompanying her grandmother while she heard some stories about her grandmother’s youth from her aunt, Shi Li. She was also very impressed with her grandmother’s life. In the end, the only regret in her grandmother’s life was her daughter, Yue Longyue, who had been kidnapped. Su Yan also felt regretful. If she had discovered the mystery of her mother’s life earlier, she wouldn’t have only met her grandmother now.
After her parents left, she rarely went to look for relics anymore. She would think of people when she saw things, and when she saw the things left behind by her parents, her mood would always be very bad. If she paid more attention to those things, perhaps she could find the piece of white jade that her mother had worn since birth. Now that she thought about it carefully, she had actually seen that piece of jade when she was young, but she had never thought that there was such a big story behind that piece of jade.
Her grandma had only been diagnosed with throat cancer a few years ago. If she had discovered the mystery of her mother’s life earlier, or if the Yue family had found her earlier, perhaps she would have had the chance to talk to Grandma and fulfill her filial duties for her mother. When the old lady left, she touched her face and left with a smile. From this, it could be seen how much grandma liked her granddaughter whom she had met for the first time.
“Sigh, we are separated forever. It’s no use thinking so much. Let’s go back too.” After a long while, her cousin Yue Chuang finally spoke.
Su Yan glanced at him and softly called out, “Brother, when you were young, did grandma often hug you?”
Thinking of the way Grandma touched her face just now, she recalled the scene when she went to Liu Yuhuan’s house with her mother when she was young. On the surface, Liu Yuhuan seemed to be very kind. She sweetly called out Grandma and went to hug her. In the end, she was pushed against the wall by Liu Yuhuan. At that time, she was only four or five years old, and that hit her so hard that she was completely stunned. Because of this, her mother had a big fight with Liu Yuhuan. She had always remembered this matter. She still didn’t understand why Liu Yuhuan didn’t hug her. It was only now that she realized that she wasn’t Liu Yuhuan’s biological granddaughter at all. They weren’t related by blood, so it was normal for her to treat them like that.
Yue Chuang looked at her and said, “Grandma was an independent woman. Later on, her career boomed. She prefered girls. Don’t even talk about hugging me. It was already good enough if she didn’t spank me every time she saw me. Although she couldn’t speak, from the way she looked at you, I can tell that she liked you very much. She was also proud of having a granddaughter like you.”
Su Yan nodded lightly. “The sky is dark, and the mountain path isn’t easy to walk on. Let’s go back, Brother.”
Su Yan followed Yue Chuang out of the cemetery. The sky was already so dark that one couldn’t see their fingers. The neon lights on both sides of the road were dim, but even though the area was very dim, Su Yan still saw Wei Zhou.
Wei Zhou was still wearing a black suit. His hands were in his pockets as he stood under the jujube tree. His dark eyes stared at her without blinking. Su Yan withdrew her gaze. She was in a bad mood and didn’t want to say anything to Wei Zhou. When he saw Wei Zhou, Yue Chuang raised his eyebrows and asked, “Wei Zhou?”
Wei Zhou was too outstanding. He was the cream of the crop of the younger generation and the most famous entrepreneur in Jiangdu City. He was so outstanding that it was difficult for him, the party secretary of Xiang City, not to know him. He had heard about the divorce between Wei Zhou and Su Yan before, but he didn’t expect Wei Zhou to come here.
In fact, Wei Zhou had come to Xiang City a long time ago. On the night Su Yan and Yue Chuang were photographed and posted on the Internet, he postponed all his work and flew to Xiang City.
After Su Yan’s previous words, he reflected on himself. He knew that his incessant pestering would bring a lot of trouble to Su Yan. Therefore, during this period of time, he had been hovering between perseverance and giving up. It was absolutely impossible for him to give up because he didn’t love anyone other than Su Yan. However, if this continued, it seemed that he would only become further estranged from Su Yan. Therefore, the only thing he could do now was to quietly follow Su Yan by her side. He hid not far away and quietly watched her. Although this made him look like a stalker, he didn’t have any other better ideas.

In the past few days, he had been observing Su Yan from the corner. He had watched her walk around the Yue family and the hospital every day. He had also seen her pushing Mrs. Yue out to bask in the sun, and the scene of death. He had only figured out the relationship between Su Yan and the Yue family the day before yesterday. When he saw Su Yan walking out of the grave, he really wanted to rush up and hug this woman. He wanted to give her a warm hug.
