C423 We will Meet Again If Fate Allows Us to

Baili Han raised his eyebrows, "Maybe the one in the graveyard is her friend. "

"Alright, let's say what you said is correct. . . I noticed earlier that the apple tray in front of the tomb was knocked over and the apples rolled all over the ground. If that was the tomb of the old aunt's friend, why did she let those apples roll on the ground but did not pick them up and put them back on the plate? "

" Perhaps it happened so suddenly that she forgot about it. Wife, aren't you thinking too much?" Baili Han felt that the old woman was just an ordinary old man, and there was nothing special about her.

" Maybe. "Xia Dong frowned. " I thought she was strange because I accidentally saw her face when I was sending fruits to the car. Although she was full of wrinkles and scars, and it was almost impossible to tell her real face, I always felt that there was something familiar between her eyebrows. . . "

Hearing what she said, Baili Han also had an idea. "She kept her head down all the way and did not seem to want us to see her face. "

A thought popped up in Xia Dong's mind, "Hubby, do you think the old auntie is someone I knew in the past?"

Baili Han's lips curved up. "Wife, don't take it too seriously. If it is fated, we will meet with her again. You can ask her when the time comes. "

"Mm, you're right!"

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. Xia Dong had almost forgotten about this matter, but something suddenly happened that made her notice the old woman's strange aspects once again.

On this day, she picked up Yi and his siblings from school and parked the car not far from the school gate. Every time she waited for the children there, they already knew the exact location, so she was not in a hurry to get off the car.

She sat in the car and waited for the children. She inadvertently looked up and saw an old figure standing across the street. When she looked again, it was actually an old woman.

Just as she was surprised, the school gate opened and a group of children came out one after another.

The old woman hurriedly hid her body behind the pillar and stuck her head out slightly. When she saw Yi and the other two people at the school gate, the corners of her lips curled up and a smile appeared in her eyes.

The children chattered as they walked towards Xia Dong's BMW.

Xia Dong opened the car door for them and welcomed them into the car. After giving them a few instructions, she got out of the car and ran towards the opposite side of the road.

The old lady's gaze had always been following the children, so when she saw Xia Dong get out of the car, she hurriedly retracted her head and leaned back against the pillar. She wanted to wait until they were far away before coming out. She did not expect Xia Dong's voice to suddenly appear by her ears, "Auntie -"

The old woman stiffly turned her head and arched her back to hide her face.

"Auntie, why are you here?" Xia Dong's heart was filled with questions.

The old woman's head drooped even more. She said in a low voice, "I was passing by and just casually looked around. "

"Auntie, may I ask if we knew each other before?"

The old woman's tone was slightly flustered, "No, we didn't know each other. "

"But, I think you look a bit familiar"

The old woman spoke without hesitation, "You must be mistaken!"

Xia Dong hesitated for a moment and suddenly reached out to support her shoulder, trying to make her raise her head to face her. However, she was very stubborn and refused to raise her head.

"Auntie, I want to see your face -"

"No, my face is too scary. It is better not to scare you. Madam, I should leave now. Please let me go. "

Xia Dong was helpless and could only let go of her. "Auntie, where are you going? I'll send you off. "

"There is no need -" The old woman did not want to stay any longer. She held onto her crutch and quickly walked towards the intersection. However, her legs were not good and she almost tripped several times. Her back looked panicked and embarrassed.

Xia Dong inexplicably felt a trace of sadness. She bit her lips and quickly ran to the old woman's side. She supported her arm without any explanation, "Auntie, let me send you. My car is parked over there. "

"No need. There's really no need -" The old woman struggled a few times, but Xia Dong grabbed her arm tightly. She almost forcefully dragged her towards the BMW, and she had no choice but to give up struggling.

In an angle that Xia Dong could not see, the old woman's eyes were filled with tears.2

Xia Dong supported the old woman into the car and the three children were surprised. Xiaoguai cried out in surprise, "Grandma, have you come to visit us again?"

Again?

The meaning of this word could be said to be deep and thought-provoking.

The old woman awkwardly rubbed her hands and explained to Xia Dong, "A few days ago, I sent strawberries to the city. I also came to take a look at the three children. "

"So that's how it is. Thank you for remembering them, Auntie. " Xia Dong smiled and nodded. It seemed that she had specially come to visit the children today. It was not as she said earlier, "Just take a look. "

Why did the old woman like the three children so much? Xia Dong was really getting more and more curious.

Xia Dong saw through the rearview mirror that the old woman was intimately touching Xiaoguai's hair and softly telling the children stories. She coughed and asked, "Auntie, where are you going? Or directly send you to the station?"

The old woman paused and said, "Take me to the station. Sorry to trouble you. "

Xia Dong sent her to the bus and watched as the car left the station. Then, she brought the children home. On the way, she asked," Why didn't you tell me that the old lady visited you a few days ago? "

The three little fellows looked at each other. Finally, Xiaobao raised his arm and replied, "Reporting to Mom. At that time, the old lady told us not to tell the adults. She also said that she had no ill intentions. She was worried that you would be unhappy if you found out, so she was not allowed to visit us. "

Xia Dong was speechless. She stared at the three innocent and cute little faces in the mirror and said, "Do you think that your daddy and I are unreasonable people?"

The three of them shook their heads in unison. Their voices were sweet. "No ~ ~"

"Then you are still hiding it from me?"

Xiaoguai pitifully pouted her small mouth. "Because the old granny asked us to do it for a long time, so we agreed. "

Yi asked seriously, "Mommy, are you angry now?"

Xia Dong was defeated. "Forget it. I'm not angry. "

A thought popped up in Xia Dong's mind. She wanted to investigate the identity of the old woman. Although she could see that the old woman did not have any ill intentions, she felt that there was something the old woman was hiding from her.

That night, she specially went to Xiaobao's place to find the old woman's address. Xiaobao simply drew a simple map for her and said, "Mom, are you really going to the old woman's house?"

"Yes, I keep feeling that the old lady has something to hide from us. I want to go and find out. "

"Alright then. . . Mom, if you get lost, you can find someone to ask 'Fu Chenghai' about your home. "

"Fu Chenghai?"

"Yes, that's the name of the old woman's husband," the old woman said.

"Oh, right. I never asked what the old lady's name was. "

Xiaobao scratched his head in annoyance. "I don't know either. "

As a junior, it was rude to ask for the name of an elder in front of an elder.

Xia Dong patted his shoulder in amusement, "It's okay. When I get there, I can ask anyone. "
