Being Reborn And Starting Off By Not Being A Simp-Chapter 433: The Way Home (2)

When she mentioned Liu Qing and his two companies ’achievements to Li Han, she could see Li Han’s expression of admiration. She also had a certain understanding of this girl’s thoughts.

But she didn’t care.

She had never been someone who cared about such trivial matters.

She wouldn’t have brought Li Han here if she cared about such things.

Liu Qing also noticed that Li Han was always looking at him, but he didn’t feel much of a stir in his heart. When Tianyuan Media called the anchors for a meeting, most of the small anchors had the same look in their eyes. They were already used to it.

After a man had money and status, he would receive a lot of such gazes. Sooner or later, he would have to get used to it.

But then again, he was still a little proud that Su Qi’s secretary would look at him with such admiration.

Sometimes, when she met Li Han’s eyes, she would even smile back.

As he ate breakfast, he asked Su Qi about the arrangements after returning to her hometown. He learned that Su Qi was not familiar with that land and did not understand the customs of sweeping graves there.

This was not strange.

Su Qi moved to the city with her father when she was very young. She basically did not go home to visit the graves during the Qingming Festival because she was far away from home. At that time, her father was not very rich and could not afford to take a plane. He could only take the green train. It took two to three days to go back and forth, and she had to study.

When she was a teenager, her parents divorced and she followed her mother. There was no reason for her to visit the tomb during the Qingming Festival.

Later on, even when she started working at the Tian Yuan Corporation, she did not return to her hometown with her mother around. She did not even go back for the New Year, let alone Qingming Festival.

His hometown was already a strange place.

Last year, she did go back to her hometown, but that time, she buried her father in her hometown--there was still burial there, and Su Yi had said a few times that he did not want to be cremated. He hoped that he could be buried in his hometown after he died.

Naturally, he had to do as he wished.

However, at that time, the person who made the decision was Ding Yun. Su Qi just went over and did whatever was arranged for her. Up until now, the funeral culture there was still a mystery.

She did not know what to prepare for the Qingming Festival.

" You don’t know anything." Liu Qing couldn’t help but ask," How are you going to visit your father’s grave if you don’t know anything?""

Su Qi glanced at him." There are relatives over there. You can ask them.""

"Oh, that’s good." Liu Qing replied."

He felt a little disappointed, but also a little glad.

Su Qi did not understand those things, so he could help her and bring her to sweep his father’s grave.

He still hoped that he could bring his future wife to comfort his father who was sleeping in the ground.

However, he did not wish to pay his respects to Su Qi’s father.

She was still quite conflicted.

Su Qi pointed out that he could consult his relatives in his hometown and cut off his thoughts, but also let him not be troubled.

It’s not a bad thing to be able to get out.

He told Su Qi about the custom of sweeping tombs in their hometown.

All these years, it was very simple for him to return home to sweep the tomb. He would come on the same day and leave on the same day. He would just clean up the weeds and shrubs beside his father’s tomb, then place the offerings, light the incense, insert the spiritual flag, and kneel.

However, before his father’s car accident, it was a mass grave sweep by the local Liu Clan. The procedures were complicated and particular.

He did not know if Su Qi was going to pay her respects alone or if she was going to sweep the graves with the local Su family, so he told Su Qi some details of the clan’s grave-sweeping in the past.

Su Qi knew that her father had donated a few million yuan in his hometown and built a Su family ancestral hall. He had even built a family tree. The Qingming Festival was held together with the entire family.

She didn’t want to make it so troublesome. She was very unfamiliar with her relatives in her hometown. She didn’t have any kinship, nor did she have any sense of family identity. She had no interest in participating in those complicated activities.

However, if she went there, she would definitely be asked to sweep the graves with her clan. She could not refuse.

Otherwise, it would not be good to arrange for someone to forget their ancestors.

Li Han listened to them talk about the customs of Qingming worship and couldn’t help but talk about the customs of his hometown.

They were from different provinces and had very different customs.

Liu Qing then asked Ye Mo how the tomb sweeping was like in his hometown and got a different answer.

When Ding Yun came over, the few of them had already finished their breakfast. They were talking about the customs of worshipping ancestors in their hometowns and making comparisons.

This was Ding Yun’s home, but Ding Yun was the last person to appear at the dining table.

She had no choice. She didn’t want to go to bed early, and she couldn’t get up early.

She only came downstairs at eight o’clock.

To her, it was much earlier than usual.

After Ding Yun came down, the few of them stood up to greet her and then stopped discussing.

With her around, the few people present felt more or less uncomfortable and lost their interest in discussing it previously.

Ding Yun did not mind.

It was not a bad thing for her to let those young people maintain a sense of respect for her.

During breakfast, she said to Su Qi,"The Su family’s Qingming Festival is too big. I can’t stand it. As for your father, you can pay your respects for me."

Su Yi was her husband, and they had been married for more than ten years. On the first Qingming Festival after his death, she did not even go to pay her respects. Speaking of which, she was quite cold-blooded.

However, Su Qi was not surprised by her words. She did not think that Ding Yun would sweep her father’s grave. She had already acknowledged Liu Qing, the son of her ex-husband, and yet she still went to sweep her father’s grave. That would completely make things difficult for Liu Qing.

Hearing Ding Yun’s words, he nodded in agreement.

Previously, Liu Qing was indeed a little worried that Ding Yun would go to pay her respects to Su Yi.

Although it was reasonable, the thought of it made him feel uncomfortable.

Now that she heard Ding Yun clearly say that she would not go, the stone in her heart finally dropped.

She thought again,"I wonder if she will go with me to visit my father’s grave..."

He wanted to raise this question, but some did not dare to.

After all, Ding Yun was divorced from his father. Logically speaking, there was no need for her to visit the grave, nor did she have the right to do so.

Making such a request would probably embarrass Ding Yun and herself.

Ding Yun didn’t say that she was going back to visit her father’s grave during the Qingming Festival. She was only going back to her mother’s house.

Every year, she would return to her parents ’home during the Qingming Festival. Sometimes, she would even participate in her parents’ ancestral worship activities.

After Ding Yun finished her breakfast, the group set off.

Ding Yun had brought Geng Xia with her and drove her Rolls-Royce, which was a symbol of her status.

This was the first time she had returned home as the chairman of the Tian Yuan Corporation, so it was a little like returning home in glory.

Li Han was driving Su Qi’s car. She had gotten a driver’s license when she was studying, so her driving skills were not bad.

The journey was hundreds of kilometers away. It would be tiring to drive alone. On the way, she would take turns driving with Su Qi.

Geng Xia and Ye Mo had no choice but to drive alone.

Three cars, a Rolls-Royce, a Mercedes-Benz, and a BMW, formed a small convoy.

After leaving the villa area, they took the highway and headed north.

They set off at nine o’clock. At noon, they passed by a service area and stopped there for a meal. They rested for half an hour before continuing their journey.

At six o’clock in the evening, they stopped at a service area and had dinner there. After resting for half an hour, they set off again.

Su Qi and Li Han were exchanging their energy, and it wasn’t that tiring.

However, Ye Mo and Geng Xia were both mixed martial arts athletes and trained every day. They were very fit and didn’t have any problems driving here.

At 11:30 p. m., the small convoy got off the highway.

This was a city in the north of Fran. Liu Qing and Su Qi’s hometown was in this prefecture-level city.

However, it was still more than a hundred miles to return to the town where he was born. That was not a highway.

He definitely wouldn’t be able to go back tonight. He could only rest in this city for the night.
