Luo Xiaoqian took out so offerings from her hotown from the paper bag and placed them in front of the gravestone.
In their hotown tradition, bringing offerings when visiting a gravesite was customary.
Leng Zimo walked up to Leng Lin and spoke in a low voice, "I want to talk to you."
His tone carried a hint of aggression.
Leng Lin glanced at him and replied, "Okay."
Leng Zirui, standing beside them, looked at their father and older brother and smiled.
"I can’t stand you guys, such big n and still so pretentious!" He reached out and pinched a piece of crab-yellow pastry from the offerings Luo Xiaoqian had laid out, tossed it into his mouth, and casually took the whole pack, "Sister-in-law, our mother can’t eat this, I’ll help her eat so."
Waving to the three of them, he walked away while biting into the pastry.
Luo Xiaoqian knew his temperant and wasn’t angry.
"Let’s go, follow to pay respects to another person!"
However, Leng Lin had already continued towards the mountaintop with a stern voice.
Leng Zimo frowned but still followed him. Luo Xiaoqian hurriedly opened an umbrella and caught up, holding it over his head. She raised her hand to hook his arm, but Leng Zimo hurried forward, leaving her behind.
The four of them arrived at the back of the cetery where Leng Lin stopped in front of an unmarked gravestone, took off his hat, and bowed solemnly three tis.
"You two should also co and pay your respects!"
Leng Zimo, suppressing his anger, nodded three tis towards the gravestone, while Luo Xiaoqian obediently ca over and also bowed three tis.
Leng Lin watched the gravestone, cleansed to shine by the rain, with a deep gaze in his eyes.
"You both need to rember this gravestone. From now on, during festivals and holidays, you should co here to pay homage."
Luo Xiaoqian looked at Leng Zimo with so confusion, "Uncle Leng... whose grave is this?"
Leng Lin turned his face towards Luo Xiaoqian and smiled rarely, "I’ll tell you when there’s a chance in the future!"
If it had been before, Leng Zimo would have felt comforted by Leng Lin’s treatnt of Luo Xiaoqian, but now, he only felt everything was glaringly irritating.
"Can we go now?"
He asked in a deep voice, barely able to conceal his impatience.
The question in his mind was almost driving him insane; he was desperate to get the answer from Leng Lin’s mouth and had no mood to stand in the rain any longer.
Leng Lin glanced at his complexion, "Let’s go."
The group descended the mountain together and went to the parking lot, where they got into their respective cars.
Leng Zimo directly overtook Leng Lin’s Audi and drove straight into the city, directly driving his car into the courtyard where he lived. The security naturally recognized his car and let him in without question.
Luo Xiaoqian looked at the buildings on both sides with confusion and turned to Leng Zimo in the driver’s seat, "Where is this place?"
Leng Zimo stopped the car in front of the Leng Family Mansion and spoke in a low voice, "My ho!"
He was actually bringing her back to the Leng Family?
Luo Xiaoqian was full of surprise as she noticed he was already climbing the steps, and she hurried to follow him.
"Zimo is back, oh... and Miss Luo..." Aunt Su, who was tidying up the room, looked surprised to see them but then quickly welcod them warmly, "Co, co, take a seat. I’ll get you so fruit. What would you like to drink, coffee, tea, or juice?"
Leng Zimo sat on a solo sofa and spoke in a firm voice, "Give her a glass of juice, I won’t have any."
"Right away!" Aunt Su turned and walked into the kitchen, while Luo Xiaoqian took a seat on a sofa not far from him.
