Chapter 179 - Something From The Past (1/2)

”You told your grandparents that we'll be coming over, didn't you?” Xu Yilan asked.

The mother and daughter left the cemetery area just before noon and had the driver to return to the hotel. After they have freshened up and had their lunch, the two of them were now heading towards the hospital.

A few days ago, Mother Han had surgery and the operation has been successful. As Mother Han was staying in the hospital to recuperate, Xu Yilan wanted to go over and accompany her friend for a chat.

Meanwhile, Li Qin Yao planned to walk around the city with Han Yue Xiu.

Hearing her mother's question, Li Qin Yao looked at her mother cautiously and asked, ”Ma, are you angry?”

Xu Yilan smiled at her daughter before she patted her on her head. ”Of course not.”

Li Qin Yao heaved with relief at her mother's answer. ”What did you guys talk about?”

”Just something from the past.”

Seeing that her mother did not want to talk about it, Li Qin Yao knew that she should not pry into the elders' matter.

Xu Yilan leaned back on the seat and closed her eyes. She did not expect to meet Li Qin Yao's grandparents at the cemetery. When she saw the two elders behind her, Xu Yilan was thrown off her guard.

How many years ago since the last time she had seen the elders?

Back then, her daughter was still in high school. Although the separation between her and her ex-husband was mutual and peaceful, there are still some matters that they could not be said.

In her early marriage, Xu Yilan was very happy. She knew from the very beginning that Li Qin Yao's father was someone who would always be busy with his work and had long accepted that. Li Xuan, her ex-husband was the eldest son and was expected to run the company once his father-in-law stepped down.

However, it was after their son's death that everything started to change. It was the time that she needed her husband the most, but coincidentally, the company was facing a problem and required his attention. Her parents-in-law could only ask her to be tolerant and she could only let him focus on the company.

Suddenly, living in high society felt very difficult. Suddenly, Xu Yilan minded what others had thought and said about her. Everything turned worst after she gave birth to Li Qin Yao. Just at the sight of the baby girl made her upset. Fortunately, her in-laws were around to look after her.

She had tried very hard to stay with Li Qin Yao's father. But in the end, she still chose to separate.

Although she might have hurt her daughter with her decision, Xu Yilan knew that it was the best decision with her body condition. She loved Li Qin Yao's father, but if she had to choose again, she would still choose to separate.

Fortunately, her daughter had never blamed her.

Since then, she had not seen Li Qin Yao's grandparents.

Just now, the two elders had said a lot of things to her. Among those things were how they were sorry that they could not let their son stay with her during her hardest time.
