Chapter 267: 267: The Mind is Scattered Again

“Many people have said that, but I think it’s better not to be like her.” Qin Youxuan paused and lowered her gaze.

Her tiny hand was tugging at the grass next to the grave, sounding desolate.

“Was it because she passed away too early?”

“No, if she could really have happiness, the length of one’s life is no longer the only measure. What bothers me is that what she yearned for, she never got in this lifetime.”

“You’re not her, how do you know she didn’t feel fortunate?” Dan Hanjie’s dark eyes were deep, and showed a hint of darkness.

“Would a happy person choose suicide?” Qin Youxuan looked up with confusion.

“Perhaps.” Dan Hanjie squinted his enchanting eyes and extended his hand to help her up from the grass, “Who do you think would come earlier than you?”

“…”

His conversation always jumped so quickly that she had to chase his thinking.

Qin Youxuan blinked her eyes.

“I don’t know. Every year before my mother’s death anniversary, someone always comes earlier than me. I once tried to find out who it was, but even after waiting a whole day I never saw them.”

“Every year?”

“Yes, as far as I can remember, apart from the years when I was abroad and didn’t come, someone had come earlier than me every previous year. But I could never find this person. I gave up because I thought it must be one of my mother’s old friends who didn’t want others to know.”

“Old friend?” The corners of Dan Hanjie’s eyes flashed, “What about Qin Mo, hasn’t he come?”

“Don’t mention that person in front of my mother, the person she least wanted to see was him!” Qin Youxuan’s face sank instantly.

She turned her head nervously and looked towards the gravestone, as if mentioning this name in front of Jiang Yu would disturb her soul.

“Stay with your mother. I’ll wait in the car.” Dan Hanjie didn’t ask further after sensing her reluctance. He gently rubbed her head and turned to leave.

Leaving her some space alone with her mother.

“Dan Hanjie, I wasn’t blaming you just now, I just…” Seeing him suddenly leaving, Qin Youxuan reached out and grabbed his sleeve, stuttering in her attempt to explain.

“You don’t need to say anymore, I understand.” Dan Hanjie paused and gently kissed her cheek before turning to leave.

“…”

Watching him disappear from sight, Qin Youxuan sat there for a long while before lifting her gaze.

Her petite body sat on the grass, leaning lightly against the tombstone, she whispered, “Mom, I came to see you…”

Qin Youxuan sat there before Jiang Yu’s grave for several hours.

She went on and on about her experiences over the past few years.

In the end, she didn’t forget to introduce Dan Hanjie to Jiang Yu.

“I know he’s not an ordinary person. Initially, I didn’t want to have any dealings with him, but I don’t know how things ended up like this…”

While speaking of Dan Hanjie, Qin Youxuan turned and saw that his car was still parked at the entrance of the cemetery.

The sun was already half-risen, casting intense rays upon the earth and reflecting a dazzling light.

In the blink of an eye, it was already eleven o’clock.

Qin Youxuan quickly got up, gave her mother who was lying peacefully in the grave a last glance and left.

“Sorry, I forgot to check the time. Have you been waiting impatiently?” Qin Youxuan apologized immediately upon entering the car.

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the data on Dan Hanjie’s computer. She was startled, “Is this the information about Qin Group?”

“Yes.” Dan Hanjie glanced at her mildly and shut down his laptop, “Are you hungry?”

“…”

Qin Youxuan shook her head. She had no appetite.

“Is the stock acquisition of Qin Group not going smoothly?” Qin Youxuan recalled the data she just saw, and furrowed her brow to ask.
