Waiting for you at the place where you are reborn

The next morning, Qi Jinye sent a driver to pick up Qi Xiangtian, and then they went to the cemetery together to pay their respects.

Sitting in Qi Jinye's spacious and luxurious Mercedes-Benz Maybach, Qi Xiangtian said nothing, and the atmosphere in the car was awkward. After finally arriving at the cemetery, Qi Jinye asked the driver Lao Ding to wait at the foot of the mountain, and he went up the mountain with Qi Xiangtian, holding a flower basket and paper money.

When he arrived at his mother's grave, Qi Xiangtian first walked up to pick the weeds beside the grave, and then gently wiped the photos and words on the tombstone with his hands. He would visit and clean the cemetery every Qingming Festival, New Year's Day, his mother's memorial day and birthday.

Qi Jinye placed the flower basket in front of the tombstone, then took out the incense and candles and lit them. While burning the paper, he said to Qi Xiangtian: "Xiangtian, can we reconcile in front of your mother?"

Qi Xiangtian squatted quietly beside and burned paper, "Don't make any noise, let my mother sleep in peace and quiet."

Qi Jinye stopped talking.

After a long time, the father and son burned all the paper money. Qi Xiangtian kowtowed in front of the tomb and said to Qi Jinye: "I don't know whether my mother has forgiven you, but have you ever apologized to her?"

"Xiangtian, I didn't listen to your mother's opinion except for the matter of opening a casino. I respected her ideas on everything else. She has been gone for so many years, and I have never thought of remarrying. She will always be my only wife, Qi Jinye."

"What's the point?" Qi Xiangtian said, "She's gone."

"We haven't seen each other for more than five years. You are my only son. What's the point of me making so much money when you are not by my side? It was my fault in the past. Now whatever you say is what I will listen to you. I will never do the things you told me not to do again."

Qi Xiangtian turned to look at Qi Jinye, "This is in front of my mother's grave. I hope what you said counts."

"It counts. I won't lie to the dead," said Qi Jinye.

"Okay..." Qi Xiangtian said, "My mother heard it."

"Then - you come home with me for dinner today."

Qi Xiangtian hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

This home is located in Bibo Garden, the most luxurious villa area in Lincheng. There is a Fairy Lake on the top of the mountain. The lake water is a natural hot spring rich in minerals. In winter, you can see steam rising from the lake surface.

The villa area is built on the lakeside at the top of the mountain. It is a rare treasure land. Many local wealthy businessmen give up their single-family villas and choose to live here.

Walking into the house, Qi Xiangtian felt inexplicably depressed. He had not lived here for a long time, but the scenes of living with his mother were still vivid in his mind.

There are gardeners in the garden, cleaning ladies and cooks in the house.

These people haven't seen Qi Xiangtian in more than five years.

"It's Young Master Xiangtian." The driver, Lao Ding, introduced him to everyone as he drove.

When I walked into the restaurant, steaming hot dishes had just been placed on the table, including crabs, shrimps, abalone, sea cucumbers, home-cooked stir-fries, stews, desserts and staple pastries.

A girl stood beside the dining table in the restaurant, smiling as she looked towards Qi Xiangtian and Qi Jinye who walked in.

Qi Xiangtian stood at the door of the restaurant in a daze. How could the person standing next to the dining table be - Song Qiaoran.

"Song Qiaoran——" Qi Xiangtian shouted in surprise.

"Uncle Qi, Brother Qi, you're back." Song Qiaoran called out, "Sister Yu prepared the dishes as Uncle Qi asked. I thought it was about time, so I asked her to serve the dishes."
