The old lady was sent to the cemetery early in the morning.
All the relatives of the He family and the neighbors who were close to the old lady were there to send her off.
Lu Xia and Lu Ziming were dressed in black with white flowers pinned on their chests. They walked at the front with their banners in hand.
Huo Yao stood nearby and watched the scene calmly. She did not look sad or pained.
She was also dressed in black today. Her skinny face was as pale as snow, and her frail figure looked as though it would be blown away by a gust of wind.
Min Yu looked at her and said, "If you want to go..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Huo Yao seemed to have guessed what he was going to say and interrupted him. "Actually, it's not a bad idea to send Grandma off like this."
She did not make it to the cemetery before she passed away. Now that she was buried, all she wanted was for her grandmother to pass away in peace.
If she were to appear in front of He Xiaoman and the rest, they would probably start arguing.
She was not in the mood to argue with the Lu family.
Min Yu nodded in agreement.
...
The funeral for the old lady was simple. It took less than half an hour. Everyone left after paying their respects.
Lu Xia removed the white flower pinned on her chest and placed it on the steps in front of the tombstone. She glanced at the picture on the tombstone before she quickly turned her head away.
He Xiaoman did not notice Lu Xia's actions. She removed the white flower pinned on her chest and raised her hand to check the time before she said to Lu Xia, "Let's go, Xiaxia. Otherwise, you will miss your flight."
Lu Xia nodded. However, she seemed to have recalled something and looked around at the surroundings.
"Xiaxia, what are you looking at?" asked He Xiaoman quizzically.
"Nothing." Lu Xia veered her eyes and said, "I'm just wondering why Huo Yao didn't come to the funeral today."
He Xiaoman's face darkened at the mention of Huo Yao. "You ingrate. It's good that she didn't come."
Otherwise, He Xiaoman would not be able to stop herself from scolding her in public.
Lu Xia pursed her lips slightly and did not say a word. She turned around and walked out of the cemetery.
Lu Ziming walked behind He Xiaoman and Lu Xia without saying a word. Due to the changes in his family over the past year, his youthful face was no longer as arrogant and hedonistic as before. Instead, he had become more reserved.
After following them for a few steps, he stopped and called out to He Xiaoman. "Mom, you guys go back first. I want to spend some more time with Grandma."
He Xiaoman turned around and looked at him. "This place is full of bad luck. Do you still want to stay?"
Lu Ziming nodded in silence.
Lu Xia stopped in her tracks and looked at Lu Ziming. Her younger brother had become more sensible over the past six months and no longer argued with her. Even though he had changed, she still could not bring herself to kiss him.
Lu Xia raised her hand to check the time. She said flatly, "Mom, I'm leaving."
He Xiaoman came back to her senses and ignored her youngest son. She asked him to take a taxi home and hurriedly followed Lu Xia.
Soon, Lu Ziming was the only one left in the cold cemetery.
He crossed his arms in front of his chest. Although he was a little scared, he still turned back and found a place to hide.

Before long, Huo Yao arrived at Grandma Lu's grave. She was in a daze when she saw the smiling photo on the tombstone.
Even though three days had passed, it was still hard for her to accept it.
Huo Yao raised her head and stood there quietly for a while before she put the flowers down gently. She straightened her body and said calmly, "Come on out."
