Wen Quan indeed ended up staying behind.
Because Wen Quan refused to go to school.
Xia Yangyang even took a few days off from her school.
They planned to just let him be for these few days.
Today happened to be the Qingming festival.
Xia Yangyang also took leave, planning to go to the cetery for tomb sweeping.
Xia Liangdong and Tan Zhen were buried in the sa grave.
At the ti of Tan Zhen’s death, Xia Liangdong purchased a grave for her and chose a double plot, saying that when he died, they could be buried together.
After all, Xia Liangdong must have deeply loved Tan Zhen.
It’s just a sha that there is no love in this world without its share of wounds.
All three children also followed along.
Fortunately, Xia Ye just had his dicinal bath in the morning and could stay alert for the entire day.
After paying respects, the three children couldn’t help but wander nearby.
Xia Yangyang, anwhile, gazed at the tombstone, filled with sorrow.
Many things in this world eventually co full circle.
If Liu Ruyan had never existed,
Then surely her parents would still be alive, and she would have a harmonious family.
But there are no ifs.
When sothing happens, there’s always a catalyst and a reason for its occurrence.
Casual occurrences might well be destined affairs.
The good and the bad are all part of life.
Though so are like knives, continuously stabbing at the heart, creating countless wounds, one can only accept them and wait for ti to heal.
Gu Qichen could see that Xia Yangyang was in a bad mood.
He placed the bouquet in his hand in front of the tombstone and bowed formally.
Then he walked over to Xia Yangyang’s side, "Don’t be sad anymore, it’s all in the past."
Xia Yangyang, filled with lancholy, said, "I really like the calmness of nowadays, each and every quiet day. Ah Chen, have those bad tis really passed?"
Gu Qichen affird, "They’re over, don’t think about it anymore."
Xia Yangyang rely humd in response.
"Yangyang." A deep male voice suddenly ca from behind.
Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen both turned around.
To their surprise, it was Lu Haotian.
Xia Yangyang was sowhat astonished; hadn’t he already gone abroad?
How did he end up in Feng City?
Lu Haotian slowly approached.
Dressed soberly and somberly, he held a bunch of white chrysanthemums in his hand.
Lu Haotian said, "Today being Qingming festival, I’ve co to pay respects to Uncle Xia."
After he finished speaking, he placed the white chrysanthemums in front of the tombstone and bowed.
Having completed the ritual, Lu Haotian then turned around, "I know my arrival is abrupt, but it was only recently that I beca aware of Uncle Xia’s passing. Uncle Xia used to treat like his own son, so..."
Xia Yangyang managed a faint smile, her expression calm, "Thank you. My dad would be comforted to know this."
Lu Haotian smiled, "Don’t be too sad, please accept my condolences."
Xia Yangyang said nothing.
Lu Haotian glanced at Gu Qichen, who was standing aside.
Then he said, "Mr. Gu, I have a few words I’d like to speak with Yangyang alone."
Gu Qichen frowned slightly but then said to Xia Yangyang, "I’ll go and check on the kids."
Gu Qichen walked away.
Xia Yangyang, however, showed no change in expression, simply asking naturally, "What do you want to say?"
Lu Haotian began, "Yangyang, I’ve returned to Feng City and will be settling down here."
Xia Yangyang replied, "Mr. Lu settling down has nothing to do with , why ntion this to ?"
Lu Haotian said, "Actually, it’s because my father’s health has been very poor these past years; previously, we lived together in Chicago, but now they plan to return here for retirent. His health has worsened each year, but after returning to the country, he just recently found out about your family’s situation. I never expected so much to have happened in just a few short years, how things have changed."
