Ye City.
It was an hour’s drive away from Xia City.
On the way, An Lan knew that Xu Baohan was in a bad mood, so she chose to drive. Xu Baohan sat in the front passenger seat, looking at the bleak scenery outside. He remembered that he hadn’t returned for many years. In the past, when his parents hadn’t divorced.., he would return to Ye city every New Year. The roots of his family were here.
But now, this city was unfamiliar.
When they reached the entrance of the funeral home, An Lan parked the car and both of them walked in together.. Xu Baohan was holding a chrysanthemum in his hand. He was dressed in a black jacket and black trousers today, and his deep facial features gave off a cold and distant feeling.
An Lan was dressed in black too. After entering, she took a look at the situation inside. Old Master Xu’s funeral home was quite large, and it was clearly shown that the Xu family’s financial situation was not bad. Today was the first day of the funeral, and most of the Xu family’s relatives were present.
The mourning hall buzzed with discussion when they saw both of them enter. A middle-aged woman in her fifties walked out angrily, “Why are you here? If it wasn’t for you, your grandfather wouldn’t have died so early. If I was you, I wouldn’t even have the face to show up.”
Zhao Meng truly hated Xu Baohan. Back then, when her hubby was in prison, she and her daughter had knelt to beg him for help, but he wasn’t willing. All these years, her hubby had been in prison, and it had been hard for her to bring her daughter along.
Xu Baohan glanced at her. “Auntie, you’re still so unreasonable after all these 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 threw it at Xu Baohan. “You caused my hubby to be in prison, and you still want to curse me to death, right?”
Xu Baohan grabbed the broom. He was strong and tall, and Zhao Meng was completely helpless against him. She could only curse and cry like a shrew.
Her daughter ran over to hit Xu Baohan. However, she was only in high school, so Xu Baohan allowed the child to hit him a few times.
An Lan frowned. The Xu family didn’t come out to stop the commotion in the mourning hall. This family was quite strange.
“If you guys continue to cause trouble, you might have to go to the police station to keep your filial piety today.” An Lan took out her phone to take photos for evidence.
“Who are you?” Xu Jinfei walked out with a dark expression. “Why are you here?”
An Lan looked at him. Even though 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 guys don’t welcome me, I’ll just kowtow a few times and leave.”
“Delete the photo.” Xu Jinfei pointed at An Lan coldly. “This is a mourning hall, you’re disrespecting the deceased by taking photos. Don’t you even have basic manners?”
Xu Baohan’s eyes were filled with anger. He regretted coming today, he shouldn’t have brought An Lan along.
“Forget it, let’s go.” He turned around and held An Lan’s hand as they walked out. As long as one had the heart, it didn’t matter where they bowed.
Xu Jinfei was stunned and berated, “Stop, don’t you have any humanity? You didn’t even bow when your grandfather died. Don’t forget, your grandfather treated you so well in the past.”
Xu Baohan pursed his lips. He was the first eldest grandson of the Xu family and he was indeed very good to him. His grandfather was famous for prioritizing sons over daughters.
“When I’m here, you guys scolded me for coming. If I don’t come, you guys say that I have no humanity.” Xu Baohan laughed self-deprecatingly as his gaze swept over the faces of the Xu family members in the mourning hall.
