The stretch limousine was spacious, and its heater was sufficiently warm.
As soon as she got into the car, Old Lady Mu took off her coat. Before Mu Xiaoxiao could react, Fang Hongyu reached out to take it, smiling as she said, "Aunt Fang, I’ll find a place to hang up your coat."
Old Lady Mu looked at Fang Youling with a smile, "Sister Youling, your niece is really thoughtful. You are indeed fortunate."
Although Fang Youling had lost her most beloved daughter, fortunately, she still had a considerate niece.
Otherwise, life in old age without children would have been too tough to endure.
Fang Youling smiled and said, "Hongyu has been sensible and filial since she was young."
Hearing this, a speechless expression filled Lv Tang’s downcast eyes.
If Fang Youling knew that Fang Hongyu was sensible and filial, why was she still so biased?
If Fang Youling had been a bit fairer, their family of three wouldn’t have had to live such a stifled life depending on others.
She wondered when these terrible days would finally end.
After saying that, Fang Youling continued, "Where’s your son Baicheng? Why didn’t he come with you?"
Upon hearing the name Mu Baicheng, Fang Hongyu’s eyes shifted as she listened attentively to Old Lady Mu’s reply.
Mu Baicheng was a very filial son; logically, on such an important day as the Peaceful Lamp Ceremony, he would have definitely accompanied Old Lady Mu.
Old Lady Mu said, "He went on a business trip to City C a few days ago."
Upon hearing this, Fang Youling nodded slightly, "I see."
Fang Hongyu smiled and said, "Aunt Mu, Brother Baicheng is really working too hard. Even over the New Year period, he doesn’t take a break, heading off so far on a business trip."
Old Lady Mu said helplessly, "This child is a workaholic. Actually, our Mu Family isn’t in need of that little money, but no one can talk him out of it."
"It would be nice to find Baicheng a partner soon," Fang Youling turned to look at Old Lady Mu and said, "Last time, the Miss Zheng that Hongyu mentioned, didn’t Baicheng take to her?"
Fang Youling had seen Miss Zheng of the Zheng Family herself. frёewebηovel.cѳm
She was a decent person.
And came from a good family.
In every aspect, she seemed quite suitable for Mu Baicheng.
Speaking of Mu Baicheng’s personal matters, Old Lady Mu shook her head, "It’s not that he didn’t take to her, he didn’t even want to go see her! I really don’t know what’s on that boy’s mind."
Fang Youling patted Old Lady Mu’s hand, "Children and grandchildren have their own fortune. Don’t be too anxious."
Fang Youling suddenly remembered the oral agreement her daughter had made with Mu Baicheng.
She thought, if her daughter hadn’t been lost, the Mu Xiaoxiao sitting beside her now could very well be her granddaughter...
If Mu Xiaoxiao were her granddaughter, how nice that would be.
Unfortunately,
things didn’t go as one wished.
At this thought, Fang Youling’s eyes reddened slightly.
Fang Hongyu continued the conversation with a smile, "My aunt is right, Aunt Mu. Don’t worry too much. If I meet someone well-matched in the future, I will introduce them to Brother Baicheng."
Although she also wanted to see Mu Baicheng happy, she just didn’t know whether he would accept any other woman.
Old Lady Mu looked at Fang Hongyu with a smile, "Hongyu, I’ll leave it to you then."
Mu Xiaoxiao and Lv Tang sat in the back seat.
Seeing the book in Mu Xiaoxiao’s hand, Lv Tang curiously asked, "Sister Xiaoxiao, why did you bring a book with you?"
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I heard that Patriarch Ouyang would be here today, and I plan to ask him for an autograph."
Only then did Lv Tang realize that the book in Mu Xiaoxiao’s hand was written by a famous author from Country P.
This book detailed the first half of Ouyang Yi’s life.
The title was also very imposing.
It was simply called "Ouyang Yi."
Lv Tang had wanted to buy it too.
But because it was limited to only 20,000 copies, she hadn’t managed to get one.
About two hours later, the car finally arrived at the parking lot of Dazhao Temple.
The weather was perfect.
The snow that had fallen all night had stopped at that moment, and the sun broke through the clouds.
The sunlight felt warm on the skin.
Fang Youling looked up at the sky and smiled, "Dazhao Temple truly is efficacious."
Old Lady Mu nodded, "Indeed, the weather forecast even predicted heavy snow today, yet now the sun has come out."
While talking, the group walked towards the entrance of Dazhao Temple.
Fang Youling donated money to Dazhao Temple for incense every year, so when the abbot saw her coming, he immediately went to greet her with a Buddhist greeting, "Good morning, Old Madam Tang, and good morning to all benefactors."
"Good morning, Abbot Kongwu."
Abbot Kongwu continued, "The Peaceful Lamp Ceremony will begin in half an hour, please make your way inside."
Fang Youling, Old Lady Mu, and the others immediately followed Abbot Kongwu’s steps.
Mu Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "Abbot Kongwu, I want to inquire about something with you."
