48. Return to the old house
After returning to Jiangcheng, Pei Xu immediately took her to her grandmother's grave.
Shi Mo stood aside holding a bouquet of chrysanthemums in his hand, his eyes falling on the black and white photo.
This is a photo of Grandma Pei when she was young. She has no smile on her face, and her face looks gloomy and very serious.
"Grandma, I brought Shi Mo to see you." Pei Xu squatted down and looked at the photo on the tombstone level, his voice becoming gentler.
"I'm sorry to let you leave with regrets."
Pei Xu knew that his grandmother's biggest wish was to see him get married and have children. If the person he married was not Shi Mo, then everything would be meaningless.
So Pei Xu refused the blind date and put all his energy into work.
Shi Mo didn't say anything. She put down the flowers in her hand and stood aside.
Her biggest interaction with Grandma Pei was that night five years ago. To Shi Mo, this old lady was a stranger.
The fact that Shi Mo can stand here with flowers in his hand is already the biggest concession he has made.
Haha, she hasn’t even visited her grandma yet, but was dragged here by Pei Xu.
Shi Mo lowered his head and looked at his toes, his face expressionless.
Pei Xu didn't let her wait too long. After saying a few words, he stood up, took her hand and left.
Sitting in the car, Shi Mo looked at the flowers in his arms and frowned and asked, "Do you want me to take this flower back?"
"This is for grandma." Pei Xu replied.
Shi Mo frowned at him. Didn’t his grandmother see it?
Pei Xu felt her doubtful gaze, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly as he said, "Because we are going to see Grandma Shi later."
Is she going to see her grandmother?
Shi Mo looked away and lowered his head to look at the chrysanthemum in his arms.
"Um."
When Grandma Shi died, Shi Mo was still a college student. All her life savings were not enough to buy a piece of land for a grave.
In the end, it was Pei Xu who gave her a large sum of money so that Grandma Shi's ashes could be buried in peace.
Arriving at the cemetery, the two walked up against the snow and stopped when they reached a big tree.
There is a tombstone not far from the big tree. The area around the tombstone has been cleaned up without any weeds.
You can see that someone comes to clean it frequently.
Shi Mo walked over, then knelt in front of Grandma Shi and placed the bouquet of chrysanthemums in front of the tombstone.
She looked at the tombstone quietly without saying a word. What should she say?
Complaining about the suffering you have endured over the years?
Or was it that I failed to avenge her?
Shi Mo just knelt there quietly without saying a word.
Pei Xu stepped forward with some distress, pulled her arm, and persuaded her: "Shi Mo, it's okay."
"Get up."
"Your knees won't be able to take it."
Only after being reminded by Pei Xu did Shi Mo feel the pain in his knee.
The old problem has come back again.
After visiting the two grandmothers, they went back.
In the following days, Shi Mo stayed in Hongfeng Garden and did not go out once.
No one knew what Pei Xu was busy with every day, he went out early and came back late.
It was not until New Year's Eve that Pei Xu took Shi Mo out.
"Where are you going?" Shi Mo asked calmly while looking at the snowflakes falling outside.
"Let's go back to the old house and have dinner together." Pei Xu grabbed her hand and played with it again and again, his voice cold.
She, an outsider, went to the Pei family's old house to eat New Year's Eve dinner, haha, he actually did it.
When they arrived at the Pei family's old house and entered the living room, Pei Xu's face suddenly turned dark when he saw two people lying on the sofa.
The housekeeper watched him from the side, feeling terrified.
"Master Pei, this was arranged by Mr. Mu."
He Ye put his feet on the coffee table, and when he saw Pei Xu, he immediately put them down, then stood up and said with a smile: "You still lose."
