The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex Chapter 1161 - She Wanted to Head Back to Her Hometown

Chapter 1161: She Wanted to Head Back to Her Hometown

In the afternoon, He Xiyan attended a shareholder’s meeting of a fashion company she had invested in. Then, she contacted a company in charge of funeral matters in Liuyang City.
She intended to move her parents’ burial location during the tomb-sweeping festival. According to local custom, the relatives of the deceased would need to open the coffin to check on their relatives’ remains during the 20th anniversary of their passing. If the wood of the coffin was rotten and the remains of their relatives were completely black, it indicated that the burial place was full of negative energy and had bad fengshui.
He Xiyan was not a superstitious person, but she wanted to follow local tradition and open her parents’ coffins to check on their remains. More importantly, she wanted to see her parents even though they were reduced to nothing but bones.
After contacting the funeral services company, she also contacted her uncle to help her engage the services of a famous local fengshui master.
Xi Xi and Yuan Yuan would not have to go to school for three days over the Tomb Sweeping Festival
Her two children had never met their own grandparents and Xi Xi had not even been to He Xiyan’s hometown.
Her two children didn’t seem very upset because they had never once met their grandparents and Xi Xi even thought that they were just going on a trip to visit her mother’s hometown.
Her maternal grandparents seemed to have never existed to her.
“Mom, what time are we leaving?” Xi Xi asked. She had gotten out of bed early that day.
She wore her new purple dress and swept her hair up in a beautiful princess-like hairstyle.
She was still as vain as she used to be when she was a child. She loved buying all kinds of clothes and she would only wear each outfit for a maximum of three times before it was relegated to the bottom of her closet, with the exception of her school uniform.
He Xiyan brought out two bowls of noodles and these were the beef noodles she had made for them.
She passed one bowl to Xi Xi and the other to Yuan Yuan.
“Eat up. We’ll be heading to the airport after you’ve finished your breakfast,” she said. Her sadness was reflected in her eyes.
She wished that her parents were still alive. She would have bought them the most comfortable house for them to live in and she would bring them out for vacation every year. They wouldn’t have to work and could even see how adorable and pretty their grandson and granddaughter were.
They would have been able to enjoy living out their later years comfortably and spend time with their children and grandchildren if they were still alive.
She had brought Yuan Yuan over the night before. He had spent the past couple of years living with his father and would occasionally come over to live with his mother, or she would visit him at school once in a while bearing new clothes and shoes for him.
He would also give her gifts during mother’s day and on her birthday.
He had once gone to pay his respects at the graves of his grandparents when he was still a young boy but he was so young then that he didn’t remember much about it.
“Mom, your beef noodles are the best,” Yuan Yuan said as he slurped down the noodles that his mother had cooked. His dad also enjoyed making beef noodles for him but it always tasted strange.
He Xiyan looked at her son. Yuan Yuan was now already 12 years old. He had started elementary school when he was five and skipped two grades, so he was now already a ninth-grade student in middle school.
He excelled in school and he would obtain full marks in every subject with the exception of languages. He was always top of his grade after every examination and he did much better than the second-placed student in his grade.
He was growing up to be a handsome young boy and he was already 1.7 meters tall even though he was only 12 years old. He was growing up to look like an exact copy of his father Mo Yixuan.
Time flew by and He Xiyan couldn’t believe that her children had grown so quickly.
Xi Xi had also finished her breakfast. She dragged out a huge box, placed it in front of Yuan Yuan and said with a smile, “This is for you.”
