Chapter 616: Aunt Qiu, Let Me Chat with You…

He had asked Lin Yazhi before this and found out that her son was sick.
“He’s fine now,” Lu Zhaoyang replied coolly and took the papers report from him.
She was still angry with him.
He had left her alone for a few days so that she could calm down, but it did not seem to work.
“How about bringing Huo Xu to visit Mu Xian’s daughter this weekend?”
Huo Yunting offered by way of extending an olive branch.
“No thanks, Xuxu has no class on weekends and prefer to stay at home. I’m leaving now.”
She nodded mechanically and left.
Huo Yunting watched her leave. He then laid back in his chair and massaged his temples.
In the next two days, their relationship remained distant and professional, as though there was an invisible barrier between them.
This was all due to the issue of trust.
On the third day, Lu Zhaoyang requested for half a day off.
In order to avoid Huo Yunting, she went to the cemetery early in the day with a bouquet of flowers bought last night and visited Qiu Ran’s grave.
Back when Aunt Qiu died, she was locked up in the Huo residence and did not even get the chance to attend her funeral.
Thinking back, Huo Yunting must have hated her deeply for what happened.
She laid down the flowers and studied the face of the deceased woman.
The first time she met Aunt Qiu became the last time she ever saw the older woman.
Years had gone by since Qiu Ran’s passing, but Lu Zhaoyang regretted it every time when it came to her death anniversary.
If only she did not speak those provoking words to her.
Lu Zhaoyang bowed and kneeled before the grave.
“Aunt Qiu, I’m sorry for not visiting you in the past few years. Let me have a chat with you…
“Honestly, if I knew this would happen, I would rather you never ever see me. I had hoped that you would live a good life and recover from your illness.”
If she had recovered, Huo Yunting would not have to experience those painful days.
Their relationship may not have deteriorated to this stage either.
“I was careless with my words. I knew that you hated my mother, but still I told you exactly who I was. I wanted to help you let things go, but I was too naive and thought that honesty was the way to go about it. After all… I am legally your daughter-in-law.
“If I knew that my mother marrying Uncle Huo would cause you so much pain, I would have stopped her, but it’s too late now.
“I’m really, really sorry…”
Her voice dropped to a whisper as she bowed deeply on her knees. Her forehead almost touched the ground.
Suddenly, she saw a fleeting shadow beside her and stood up. A hand went straight for her neck and squeezed!
“Cough cough cough…”
Her throat hurt and she coughed in pain.
She was about to raise her arms in defense when she felt her entire body being lifted from the ground.
“Let me go… Let me… go…”
She could barely breathe.
The day was a special occasion. Huo Yunting had woken up early too and happened to reach the cemetery moments after her.
He watched as she kneeled and bowed, but when he heard what she said, he could not stop himself from grabbing her.
“What are you talking about? There’s no one here, so why are you lying to my mother?”
He remembered clearly what Xue Yuming said in her phone call.
