Ye City.
It was an hour's drive from Xia City.
On the way there, An Lan knew that Xu Baohan was in a bad mood, so she chose to drive. Xu Baohan sat in the front passenger seat and looked at the bleak scenery outside. He remembered that he hadn't been back for many years. In the past, when his parents hadn't divorced, they would return to Ye City every New Year. Their family's roots were here.
But now, this city was unfamiliar.
When they arrived at the entrance of the funeral parlor, An Lan parked the car and the two of them walked in together. Xu Baohan was holding a chrysanthemum in his hand. He was wearing a black jacket and black trousers today. His deep facial features exuded a sense of indifference that kept people a thousand miles away.
An Lan was also dressed in black. After entering, she sized up the situation inside. Old Master Xu's mourning hall was quite big. It could be seen that the Xu family was indeed well-off. Today was the first day of the funeral, and most of the Xu family's relatives were present.
Seeing the two of them walk in, the mourning hall started to buzz with whispers. A middle-aged woman in her fifties walked out angrily. "Why are you still here? If it weren't for you, your grandfather wouldn't have died so early. If I were you, I wouldn't even have the face to appear."
Zhao Meng really hated Xu Baohan. Back then, when her husband was imprisoned, she and her daughter almost knelt down and begged him for help, but he refused. All these years, her husband was imprisoned, and she had lived a hard life alone with her daughter.
Xu Baohan glanced sideways at her. "Auntie, you're still so unreasonable after so many years. Get out of the way, I'm not here to pay my respects to you."
"You … How can you say that?" Zhao Meng was so angry that she picked up the broom beside her and attacked Xu Baohan. "You caused my husband to go to prison, and you still want to curse me to death?"
Xu Baohan grabbed the broom. He was strong and tall, so Zhao Meng couldn't do anything to him. She could only cry and scold like a shrew.
Her daughter also ran over and beat Xu Baohan. She was only at the age of high school, so Xu Baohan let the child beat him a few times.
An Lan frowned. The Xu family didn't come out to stop them even though the mourning hall was in such a mess. This family was quite strange.
"If you continue to make trouble like this, I might have to go to the police station to observe mourning today." An Lan took out her phone and took photos for evidence.
"Who are you?" Xu Jinfei walked out with a dark face. "What are you doing here?"
An Lan looked at him. Although he had put on weight, she could tell that his facial features were similar to Xu Baohan's.
"She's my girlfriend." Xu Baohan quickly pushed his niece away and shielded An Lan behind him. His expression was cold. "I know you don't welcome me. I'll leave after kowtowing a few times."
"Delete the photo." Xu Jinfei pointed at An Lan coldly. "This is the mourning hall. Taking photos is disrespectful to the deceased. Don't you even have basic manners?"
A trace of anger appeared in Xu Baohan's eyes. He regretted it. He shouldn't have come today, and he shouldn't have brought An Lan along.
"Forget it, let's go." He turned around and led An Lan out. In fact, as long as he had the heart, it didn't matter where he bowed.
Xu Jinfei stared blankly for a moment before he berated, "Stop right there! Do you still have any humanity left in you? Your grandfather died and you didn't even pay your respects. Don't forget, your grandfather used to be very good to you."
Xu Baohan pursed his lips. He was the first eldest grandson of the Xu family and had indeed been very good to him. His grandfather was famous for valuing sons over daughters.
"I'm here and you're scolding me for coming. If I don't come, you're saying that I'm inhumane." Xu Baohan laughed self-deprecatingly, his gaze sweeping across the faces of the Xu family members in the mourning hall.
