Huo Yao did not look away. Instead, her eyes were fixed on the tombstone.
About two to three minutes later, Lu Ziming came out from behind a nearby tombstone.
He walked over to Huo Yao slowly.
"Are... are you okay?" asked Lu Ziming hesitantly when he saw Huo Yao's skinny cheeks.
Since the Lu family had gone bankrupt and his parents had divorced, he should hate her.
Huo Yao raised her head and glanced at Lu Ziming. "Did you wait for me here?"
Huo Yao had sensed someone looking at her furtively when she came over. She did not expect it to be Lu Ziming.
Lu Ziming opened his mouth to deny it but swallowed his words. He glanced at Min Yu, who had a strong presence, and said softly, "I need to talk to you."
"I'll wait for you outside," said Min Yu softly as he looked at Huo Yao.
Huo Yao acknowledged him. She waited for him to walk away before she turned around and said, "Go ahead."
Lu Ziming fiddled with his hands for a long time before he finally said, "Grandma asked me to tell you..."
Huo Yao's eyelashes fluttered. The cold wind blew her hair into a mess. Her already pale face turned even paler as she listened to Lu Ziming's words.
"... She told you not to be sad and not to dwell on the past. You were always her favorite granddaughter." When Lu Ziming said this, he recalled that his grandmother was still conscious. There seemed to be something else in her eyes when she said this to him.
He did not understand why she had to emphasize the last sentence.
He pondered for a moment and guessed that the old lady probably wanted to tell him that she had never treated Huo Yao as an outsider before she left.
Huo Yao composed herself. She gradually calmed down after hearing his words. She looked at Lu Ziming and said, "Thank you."
Lu Ziming averted his eyes uneasily before he hurriedly explained himself loudly. "Don't misunderstand. I'm telling you this, but it doesn't mean I don't hate you. Respect the dead. I just don't want to disappoint my grandmother."
Huo Yao's eyes landed on the photo on the tombstone. A gentle look flashed across her eyes as she said, "I know."
She knew what the old lady meant by 'from beginning to end'.
Lu Ziming bit his lip and said in a muffled voice, "I'm glad you know."
With that, he ran away.
Huo Yao remained standing in the same spot. Even after Lu Ziming walked away, she did not avert her eyes. After a long time, her lips moved and the soft words' Grandma, have a safe journey 'drifted into the air.
He turned around and walked out of the cemetery.
Min Yu's car was parked outside the cemetery. He was on the phone when Huo Yao walked out. He looked up and saw Huo Yao. He said a few words to the person on the other end of the line before hanging up.
Min Yu reached out to hold Huo Yao's hand and said, "Your third older brother just called."
Huo Yao was slightly taken aback.
"He said that Uncle Huo and Auntie Huo took the 9: 00 am flight. They should arrive at the airport in an hour." Min Yu took off his jacket and draped it over her. "They are here to pay their respects to the old lady."
Huo Yao acknowledged him softly and said, "I'll go pick them up."
Min Yu noticed that she looked worse than she did two days ago. He paused for two seconds before he said, "Why don't I go? You haven't rested for the past two days. I'll go pick them up."
Huo Yao smiled and shook her head. She insisted. "It's fine."
Since Min Yu could not dissuade her, he did not continue.
Huo Yao adjusted her jacket and turned to look behind her. Then she said to Zhuo Yun, "Help me take the kid back."
She was referring to Lu Ziming, who was following behind her.
