Chapter 33: The Truth Back Then

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

It wasn’t until Mr. Lu walked to Lu Shiyan’s side that he said, “Miss Qin, if you don’t mind, let’s go together.”

There was only one path to the ancestral hall, so Qin Miaomiao nodded. Lu Shiyan quickly caught up with her. The Lu family would come every year to pay respects to Qin Miaomiao’s grandfather and mother, so Lu Shiyan knew the path to the ancestral hall by heart.

“Mr. Lu, you’re here so early?” Qin Hai had been waiting in the ancestral hall with Qin Youyou. When he saw the Lu family coming from afar, he quickly smiled and welcomed them warmly.

Qin Youyou saw Qin Miaomiao and Lu Shiyan walking into the ancestral hall side by side. The two of them were very compatible in terms of looks and height, like a match made in heaven. Qin Youyou clenched her fists tightly as jealousy overcame her. All of this should have been hers! Be it the Qin family or the Lu family, they were all hers! She would never allow Qin Miaomiao to snatch them away!

“Why? Can’t we come?” Mr. Lu glanced at Qin Hai, who was smiling, indifferently. After so many years, this was the first time he had seen Qin Hai come to pay his respects.

“What are you saying, Mr. Lu? Of course you can come. Welcome, welcome.” Qin Hai’s smile froze for two seconds before he revealed a fawning smile again. Qin Miaomiao, who was standing at the side, didn’t want to waste time with Qin Hai, so she walked into the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall was burning with sandalwood. She didn’t know if it was telepathy or something, but she saw her mother’s and grandfather’s memorial tablets at a glance. As she looked at her mother’s and grandfather’s memorial tablets, her heart stirred. The memorial tablets had been wiped clean and there were many memorial items placed beside them. It was obvious that they had been carefully prepared, but these were definitely not from Qin Hai and Qin Youyou. From their expressions just now, they made it seem like they didn’t even know where her mother’s and grandfather’s memorial tablets were.

Qin Miaomiao glanced at Qin Hai and Qin Youyou with a cold look in her eyes. They were not worthy of appearing in the ancestral hall.

Qin Miaomiao picked up a bouquet of white chrysanthemums before walking into the depths of the cemetery. Seeing that Qin Miaomiao was walking towards the cemetery alone, Qin Youyou looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she followed her. When Madam Lu saw this scene, she immediately gave Lu Shiyan a look and gestured for him to follow. However, Lu Shiyan only glanced at her aloofly and didn’t move.

Madam Lu was helpless. Sometimes, she couldn’t tell what her son was thinking. When she glanced at Qin Xiaoshu, who was sitting at the side and doing something with his tablet, she couldn’t help but smile. Every time she saw this little guy, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Qin Xiaoshu’s face was soft and he smelled like milk. It was hard not to love him.

“Is your name Qin Xiaoshu?” Madam Lu leaned over and looked at Qin Xiaoshu’s fair face. Why did she feel that he looked like Lu Shiyan when he was young? Especially his eyes.

Qin Xiaoshu, who was playing with his tablet, nodded. Then, he suddenly looked up at Madam Lu with confusion. Oh no, where was his mommy? He lost sight of her.

At this moment, in the cemetery on the other side, Qin Miaomiao was already standing in front of her mother’s and grandfather’s tombstones with a white chrysanthemum in her arms. Although it was noon, the sky above the cemetery was gray, just like her mood, and the outside of the cemetery fence was covered in thorns that bloomed with beautiful roses. There was a river behind them.

Qin Miaomiao carefully brushed away the dust on the tombstone and placed the white chrysanthemum in front of the tombstone. Looking at the photo of her mother and grandfather on the tombstone, Qin Miaomiao clenched her fists tightly and her slender shoulders trembled. She would definitely investigate the truth behind what happened back then and take back the Qin Corporation!

“What’s wrong? You can’t take it anymore? What a pity. If your grandfather’s family hadn’t insisted on taking your mother’s ashes back then, your mother might have been in the Qin family’s ancestral hall now.” A sharp voice came from behind. It was Qin Youyou, who walked into the cemetery arrogantly with a terrifying smile.

Qin Miaomiao stood up and looked at Qin Youyou coldly. When she met Qin Miaomiao’s gaze, Qin Youyou shivered. However, she still mustered her courage and walked to Qin Miaomiao’s side with her chin raised. Then, she placed her hand on the tombstone. “But don’t worry. When I become the young madam of the Lu family in the future, I will definitely get someone to tear down this cemetery personally! At that time, you won’t even have a place to pay your respects!” As Qin Youyou spoke, a smug smile appeared on her face.
