Chapter 731 - Dont Worry, Im Here For You (1/2)
Old Man Xian stood in front of the Old Woman's husband's tombstone with his cane. He stared at the tombstone silently and sighed softly, ”Old Wan, even though I kowtow to you, do you dare to accept it? Xing Jia doesn't know about it. It's just that I don't want her to feel that the people around her are too preposterous. You know very well what you did that time.”

In the distance, in the guard post outside the cemetery,
Mrs. Qin was talking to the guard about the current price of the cemetery in G City. She was sighing at the fact that the price of the cemetery was more expensive than some of the houses in the city.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the Old Woman walking slowly. She hurriedly stood up and stepped forward to support her. ”Mom.”
Mrs. Qin knew that her mother was unwilling to meet Old Man Xian. She looked over the Old Woman's shoulder at the cemetery. When she saw that he was still standing there, she said, ”He …”
”Don't worry about him, let's go back.” The Old Woman did not even look at Old Man Xian as thunder roared in the sky, ”It's going to rain soon. Let's go back to the car and go home early. Didn't Qianqian also return? I'm going to see the child.”
Mrs. Qin wanted to say something, but seeing that the Old Woman didn't want to say anything about Old Man Xian, she said, ”Sure, let's go back.”
It's just that in the wilderness surrounding the tomb, it was very difficult for the Old Man to get a taxi back to Qin Family's Residence.
But looking at the Old Woman's expression, Mrs. Qin did not say anything. After all, she had never seen her father before, and Old Man Xian was her enemy who had caused her father's death.
On the way back, the Old Woman sat with her eyes closed on the back seat. It was unknown whether she was asleep or just faked it, but her expression was very calm. Only a small crease could be seen between her eyebrows.
Mrs. Qin looked at the Old Woman's face from time to time as she drove, ”Mom, did you sleep last night? You look tired.”
”No.” The Old Woman closed her eyes and said, ”I'm getting older and can't sleep at night. I wake up early in the morning every day.”
”The air on the west side of this mountain is pretty good. When we buried father here, you asked God to take care of this place. This place is very nice. I was talking to someone just now, do you know how much the cemetery is worth now?”
”It's about the same as house prices, right? I've heard about it on the news.” The Old Woman was not affected by this boring topic, she only replied plainly.
Seeing that, Mrs. Qin didn't say anything else. After a while, she then said, ”The rain really isn't light. Every year on father's death anniversary, you always ask the driver to accompany you. I usually don't drive and my hands get a bit tired driving under this weather.”
The Old Woman quietly closed her eyes for a moment, then slowly opened them and looked at the rain curtain outside the window.
The sky was covered with dark clouds. Thunder and lightning resounded in unison, and for some reason, it had suddenly rained so heavily.
Seeing that the Old Woman was just looking out the window without saying anything, Mrs. Qin sped up her car.

Qin Gengxin drove the car toward the west mountain. Xian Guiying raised her hand and bit her nails. As she watched the heavy rain outside, her frown deepened.
”Don't worry, grandpa isn't a child either. Since he could take a taxi to go to the cemetery, it shouldn't be a problem. He's probably seeking shelter under the guard post and chatting with them.” Qin Gengxin observed the situation in front of him as he drove. He reached out to hold her hands. ”Don't worry, hmm?”
Actually, when he said this, he wasn't sure if it was as good as he thought it was.
He knew his grandmother's temper very well.
Some things could not really be forgiven just by asking for apologies.
That was something that had taken root in her bones for decades, all the way until she was this old.
