Chapter 140 The originally clear sky began to drizzle
The atmosphere along the way was not very lively, and Mu Jin was even a little stiff sitting in the back.
Ji Xuanming couldn't bear it anymore, so he hugged her in his arms and let Mu Jin lean on him.
Then he patted Mu Jin's back with one hand, which made Mu Jin relax a lot.
Mu Jin didn't want to bury her mother in the cemetery at first, but then she remembered that her mother liked the hustle and bustle, so she finally compromised.
It took nearly an hour to drive this way.
When we arrived at the cemetery gate, the nearby flower shop was already open.
"Hello, what can I do for you?"
"Please help me wrap a bouquet of red roses."
Mu Jin looked at the flowers in the house. At first, she was afraid that the flower shop here would not have red roses. However, the owner had been running the shop for so long that he naturally knew that people nowadays do not only use chrysanthemums when visiting graves. Many people would make preparations according to the deceased, so she was naturally not surprised.
"Four bunches, please."
Now that I'm here, it wouldn't be nice to come empty-handed.
Mu Jin did not stop everyone, as this was their way of showing their love for their mother.
The owner looked at their attire and naturally understood. He just nodded and began to prepare.
Each of them held a bouquet of flowers and took out all the things prepared in the trunk. When Mu Jin walked to the gate of the cemetery, she felt a little nervous.
She thought she would be very calm, but at this moment, she was even a little worried that her mother would blame her for not coming for three years.
Ji Xuanming put his arm around Mu Jin's shoulders and led her forward. Mu Jin looked at the person beside her and suddenly gained some courage.
She took Ji Xuanming step by step and walked up to the middle of the stairs.
Then I found my mother's tombstone.
"mom."
Mu Jin placed the red rose in her hand in front of Mu Xiyao's grave.
Mu Xiyao is Mu Jin's mother.
She has her mother's last name.
Mu Jin placed the things she brought with her in front of the current tomb one by one. Wen Shi and Mo Bai placed the red roses in their hands in front of Mu Xiyao's tomb, then each took three incense sticks and bowed, then stepped aside, leaving the space to Mu Jin and Ji Xuanming.
Ji Xuanming put down the red rose in his hand, bowed to the tombstone, and then knelt down.
"mom."
Mu Jin was not surprised when she heard Ji Xuanming call her mother "Mom".
"Mom, this is my boyfriend. Isn't he handsome?"
Mu Jin was arranging things while introducing Ji Xuanming to her mother.
"He's very capable. He's even the president of JM Group... Mom, you'll be very pleased to see this."
Mu Jin sat directly in front of Mu Xiyao's grave and talked about her experiences over the years in a halting manner.
"I'm a big star now, so I didn't continue my studies in fashion design."
Mu Jin wiped the photo in front of the tomb. It was still the beauty she remembered. Mu Jin looked at the photo in a trance and felt that her mother smiled at her.
"Mom, I miss you so much."
Mu Jin lay in front of Mu Xiyao's grave and murmured softly. Over the years, every time when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, she would always think of what her mother had told her, especially when she encountered difficulties.
She always said that her mother was open-minded and insightful, which was something Mu Jin could not learn yet.
Ji Xuanming was watching Mu Jin from the side, his eyes full of heartache.
After a while, Mu Jin waved at Ji Xuanming.
"You sit down too."
Ji Xuanming didn't hesitate and sat down next to Mu Jin.
Mu Jin held Ji Xuanming's hand.
"Mom, he's the one you met before."
When Ji Xuanming heard this, he turned around and looked at Mu Jin.
He didn't know about this.
"My mom went to H City for something and happened to pass by my school and wanted to see me. I had just finished dinner with you when you received a call saying you had a meeting and then left first."
Mu Jin paused, and Ji Xuanming tried hard to recall the scene in his mind. He seemed to have some impression that at noon that day, he originally said that he would send Mu Jin back to the dormitory first, but Mu Jin said that she wanted to go buy something, so he gave up the idea.
"But my mother didn't see your face."
Mu Jin found it a little funny when she thought about it. When her mother called, she was already at the school gate. She even pretended to ask Mu Jin if she was free to meet her, but when Mu Jin turned around, she saw her mother waving at her from the opposite side.
"Boy friend?"
Hibiscus did not deny it.
"pretty good."
Mu Xiyao didn't say anything, but found a place to chat with Mu Jin briefly and then went back.
"Mom, I will take good care of Mu Jin from now on."
Ji Xuanming held Mu Jin's hand and spoke seriously while looking at Mu Xiyao's photo.
"I want to tell my mother something in private."
Mu Jin looked at Ji Xuanming, who realized something, let go of Mu Jin's hand, stood up and walked aside.
"Mom, I'm fine now. Actually, I really want to bring grandma to H City, but I know she definitely won't want to. Maybe I'll come back later."
Mu Jin took a dead branch and drew circles on the ground while chatting with Mu Xiyao.
"Are you blaming me for not visiting you in the past three years?" Mu Jin was speechless as she looked at the photo on the tombstone. She obviously had a lot to say, but at this moment, she could only express her longing over and over again.
After a long time, Mu Jin got up from the ground, patted her skirt, and waved at Ji Xuanming.
"Say hello to mom, and let's go back."
"I also want to tell my mother a secret."
Ji Xuanming didn't look like he was joking, so Mu Jin didn't say anything and walked towards Mo Bai.
Mo Bai saw that Mu Jin was in good condition, so he put his mind at ease.
Ji Xuanming knelt in front of Mu Xiyao's grave. It was unknown what he said, and he glanced in the direction of Mu Jin from time to time.
Mu Jin didn't pay any attention to him. Everyone has their own secrets. She could even guess that Ji Xuanming would just say that he would take good care of her.
Ji Xuanming finally kowtowed before getting up from the ground.
Mu Jin went over to collect the offerings on the ground and prepared to leave.
Mo Bai helped to clean up, then signaled them to go down first.
"I also want to have a private conversation with Aunt Mu."
Mu Jin looked at Mo Bai and understood what she meant, and nodded.
"Aunt Mu, don't worry. Mu Jin has us. She's doing well now. She's had a hard time these past few years, but she persevered. You must protect her."
Mo Bai bowed to Mu Xiyao again, then poured a glass of wine on the ground.
In the past, Mo Bai would always come back with Mu Jin from time to time. Mu Xiyao treated her very well, and she also liked Mu Xiyao very much.
Who knew that things would change so fast? Mu Xiyao passed away just like that, and they didn’t even get to see each other for the last time.
After Mo Bai left, the dust in front of Mu Xiyao's tomb flew up, as if to see them off.
When Mu Jin was going down the mountain, she kept looking back from time to time, and she didn't know when she would come back next time.
It wasn't until they got in the car that the sunny sky started to drizzle.
