After rebirth, Mrs. Huo only wanted a divorce

Grandpa had already asked her about her relationship with Huo Yanci in the afternoon, and Qiao Shinian didn't think there was any need to hide it.

She nodded and said, "Yes, Huo Yanci heard that we had an accident, so he went to the hospital to find me and even accompanied me to the police station."

Qiao Donghai didn't make any jokes or comments about this. "He helped you a lot. Bring Yan Ci home for dinner. Grandpa wants to express his gratitude to him."

Qiao Shinian did not object, "Okay."

Because they were sitting close to each other, Huo Yanci basically heard everything that was said and done between Qiao Shinian and Qiao Donghai.

Under normal circumstances, Huo Yanci would be very happy to hear this and would immediately find Qiao Shinian to agree on a specific time, but at the moment, he didn't know what he was thinking and was a little distracted.

They went upstairs together. Aunt Wang prepared the meal. Qiao Shinian asked Huo Yanci to eat with them, but Huo Yanci went back to his room on the pretext of being busy with work.

"Are you so busy that you don't even have time to eat?" Aunt Wang didn't quite understand.

Qiao Shinian didn't take it to heart. She thought that Huo Yanci had delayed his work because of her and was now busy dealing with it.

After Huo Yanci entered the room, he immediately called Zhou Tiancheng and gave him some instructions with a cold expression.

……

Two days later was the anniversary of Qiao Shinian's mother's death.

Qiao Shinian had kept the bottle of perfume she had mixed previously in her bag, but it was accidentally broken in the hospital two days ago, so she mixed a new bottle.

After buying her mother's favorite flowers, Qiao Shinian went to the cemetery.

After arriving, the driver was waiting in the car and the bodyguard accompanied her inside.

Qiao Shinian had just arrived at the cemetery when he saw a familiar figure in front of him - Li Boting.

Li Boting did not bring his subordinates with him, as if he was waiting for her.

A man stood at the entrance of the cemetery.

Compared to the previous two days, Li Boting's attire today was particularly formal. Not only did he wear a formal black suit, he also wore a tie, and even his hair was neatly groomed.

Li Boting was holding a large bouquet of flowers in his hand. After seeing her, his expression became obviously nervous and excited. Not only did he not dare to walk towards her, but there were also some... tears flashing in his eyes?

Qiao Shinian had a strange feeling in his heart, and couldn't help but think of Li Boting's reaction when he smelled the perfume two days ago.

He asked at the time, "How did you create this perfume?", and it was obvious that he was familiar with the scent.

After she asked her grandfather why the perfume was not mass-produced that day, she wanted to find an opportunity to ask Li Boting whether he knew her mother.

But she had been busy with Yiming's official business these past two days and had no time to visit Li Boting, so she put the matter aside.

Now, Li Boting is waiting here with flowers in his hand. Could it be that he really knows her mother?

Frowning slightly, Qiao Shinian walked towards Li Boting.

The closer she got, the more she could feel Li Boting's nervousness and excitement. His hands were shaking so much that he seemed unable to even hold the flowers steadily.

"Uncle Li!"

Just as Qiao Shinian was about to call for help, a deep male voice came from behind her.

Turning his head, Qiao Shinian saw Huo Yanci striding towards him!

Why did Huo Yanci come at this time?

And seeing that he looked hurried, he seemed to be in a hurry?

"Uncle Li, I have something urgent to discuss with you!" Huo Yanci walked quickly to Li Boting.

Li Boting stared at Qiao Shinian closely, "Yanci, if you have anything to say, let's talk later. Qiao and I—"

"Uncle Li, I have to say it now.

It will only take up a moment of your time."

Huo Yanci's eyes were filled with urgency. He even held onto Li Boting's arm. "Niannian, wait for us for a while. I'll explain it to you later!"

As he spoke, Huo Yanci half supported and half dragged Li Boting towards the office of the management office.

Qiao Shinian didn't say anything. She always had a very strange feeling about Li Boting. In addition to excitement and nervousness, there was also some sadness in Li Boting's expression?

Just now he seemed like he had a lot to say. Could it be that he and my mother are old friends?

Seeing that what Huo Yanci and Li Boting were talking about was very important and might not be finished in a short time, Qiao Shinian did not wait for them and went to his mother's tombstone first.

When Qiao Shinian arrived, he found that someone had already been there.

My mother's tombstone was cleaned very cleanly, even her photo was wiped smooth, and in front of the tombstone was a bouquet of flowers of similar variety to the one in her hands - all of which were my mother's favorites.

Qiao Shinian couldn't help but wonder, who had been here?

Grandpa's leg hasn't healed yet, and Qiao Leyan is taking care of him at home. She didn't let them come over. My uncle and aunt are traveling to the neighboring province these days and won't come.

Who could that be?

I'll ask the management later.

Qiao Shinian put down the flowers and perfume and paid his respects in front of his mother's tombstone.

Just as Qiao Shinian was about to leave, she saw Huo Yanci and Li Boting walking towards her.

Li Boting's eyes were slightly red, as if he had been through a fierce struggle. Compared to the initial nervousness and excitement, his expression was now a little more restrained.

"Niannian, I'm sorry. Something big happened in the project that Huo and Li were working on. Uncle Li has to call in person to resolve it." Huo Yanci walked to Qiao

Shi Nian was beside him, and explained apologetically.

Qiao Shinian shook his head. "It doesn't matter. Work is more important."

"Mr. Li, why did you come to the cemetery? Do you know my mother?" Qiao Shinian asked Li Boting.

Li Boting's eyes, which were slightly marked by the traces of time, looked at her with affection and love, "Yes..."

After saying just one word, Li Boting's voice choked up a little, and his eyes became even redder.

"Niannian, the project just now was quite a big deal, and Uncle Li is already very emotional today. Why don't we go out and find a place to sit down and talk?" Huo Yanci suggested.

Qiao Shinian did feel that Li Boting's emotions were volatile. Moreover, he said that he knew her mother and was waiting for her like this, so he must have something important to tell her.

Qiao Shinian agreed to Huo Yanci's proposal.

Huo Yanci also paid his respects at the tombstone of Qiao Shinian's mother, and then planned to leave with Qiao Shinian.

"You go first, I'll put down the flowers." Li Boting said in a hoarse voice.

"Okay, we'll wait for you downstairs."

As he spoke, Huo Yanci helped Qiao Shinian walk down.

Qiao Shinian looked back and saw Li Boting bending over to place the flowers. Although his movements were slow, his expression was normal.

That means the bouquet of flowers in front of my mother’s tombstone was not placed by Li Boting in advance. Has anyone else visited my mother?

Qiao Shinian expressed this doubt, and Huo Yanci analyzed, "It might be a good friend of hers who hasn't appeared for a long time. Didn't grandpa say that mother-in-law not only used her own perfume, but also gave it to her friends?"

What Huo Yanci said was not unreasonable. When her mother was young, she had a very good personality and many friends. However, after giving birth to her out of wedlock, she focused all her energy on MQ and rarely got close to anyone.

Maybe a friend came to pay her respects. Didn’t Li Boting come too?

but,

"Who are you calling mother-in-law?" Qiao Shinian asked Huo Yanci.
