Chapter 745: Return to Being Indifferent (1)
The garden was indeed magnificent, but it was a cemetery.
Xu Weilai turned to look at Zuo An. She bit her lower lip and hesitated for a moment before she asked, “Who was buried here?”
“I think you already had your guess.” Zuo An lowered his eyes and looked at her. “My mother.”
She made a guess that he would bring her to meet his mother, but to meet her in this place was certainly out of her expectation.
However, she would have refused to come with him if he told her upfront. She wasn’t really his girlfriend after all, and the meaning was a lot deeper for him to bring her to meet someone that had already passed away.
Xu Weilai knitted her brows softly blurted, “Big Boss, I don’t think I should go in. I’m not in the place to see her either. Go in and have a good chat with her. I’ll wait for you outside.”
Zuo An looked at her silently for a while. Out of a sudden, he grabbed her wrist.
“Big Boss?”
He said nothing, but pulled her into the cemetery in a large stride instead.
Zuo An had always been gentle and refined. He was never aggressive nor domineering. Thus, his sudden change caught Xu Weilai in surprise. Puzzled by his act, she asked, “Boss, what’s wrong?”
She struggled to break free from his hold as she spoke.
However, Zuo An’s grip on her wrist was too strong, like they were being handcuffed together. Zuo An projected a strong unfathomable aura as he strode forward in silence.
Xu Weilai had never seen him like this before. Perhaps something happened to him earlier. She should find out what was going on before she could think of a way to deal with it.
She stopped struggling to break free from him and obediently followed his lead.
Zuo An’s grip loosened as well when he sensed she was no longer struggling. Even so, he still held her tight. His stride slowed down to let her followed him easier.
They made their way up the stairs one step at a time and finally reached a vast plain after a ten minutes walk. A tombstone in the middle of the plain caught their eyes immediately.
Zuo An led Xu Weilai to the tombstone. He stopped when they were in front of the tombstone. A glint of faint light appeared in his eyes.
Since she was already here, she could only face it the best she could.
Her eyes lightened up a little when she saw the picture on the tombstone.
Zuo An’s mother was a great beauty. She had an air of scholar, with a graceful look and a gentle smile. Her eyes emitted extreme tenderness.
She automatically turned to look at Zuo An again as she noticed the resemblance between Zuo An and his mother. “Big Boss, you take after your mother.”
“Yes.”
Zuo An looked at the picture of his mother. The gloomy aura he emitted earlier disappeared completely. Instead, his lips curled up into a faint smile. “I look more like her.”
He turned his head to look at Xu Weilai and smiled. “I brought you here because I just wanted her to meet you.”
Xu Weilai knew his words were to explain his reason to bring her here by force, even though he did not seem to have the slightest intention to apologies.
She could only force a smile because it was inappropriate for her to say anything bad in front of his mother’s grave.
Zuo An’s gaze turned back to the picture of his mother and continued, “Mother, this is the girl I like. Her name is Xu Weilai. You once said that you wanted to see what kind of girl I would like in the future, so I brought her here to meet you.”
