When Su Xiaoxiao came down from upstairs, she was already wearing a diamond bracelet that Li Wanqing bought for her.

The diamonds sparkled as she moved, and the Li family, who knew the goods, could tell at a glance that this was a treasure from the French royal family.

At this time, everyone was already sitting at the dining table, waiting for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to start dinner.

Su Xiaoxiao sat down next to Li Hanchuan, her face filled with joy of receiving a gift, but when Li Hanchuan looked away from her, she lowered her head with worry.

After taking a few bites of food absentmindedly, Su Xiaoxiao kept encouraging herself in her heart not to be afraid.

After taking a deep breath, she suddenly started eating happily, and at the same time, she seemed to suddenly remember something unintentionally.

She suddenly put down her chopsticks and said, "Mom, there's something I've always wanted to ask, but I don't know if I should ask."

Li Wanqing was also very generous, "Su Su, we are all a family. If you want anything, just ask."

"Then I'll say it!" Su Xiaoxiao didn't show any embarrassment at all. Instead, she looked at the man next to her happily.

"Mom, it's like this. Hanchuan and I have been married for more than two months, but I have never seen my father, and I haven't heard you mention it. I wonder... what did he do?"

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Li Hanchuan. Xu Hong was a taboo that no one was allowed to talk about in the Li family!

At this time, Li Hanchuan felt a slight wave of emotion in his heart, but in order to prevent the Li family from noticing that he cared, he acted very calmly, as if he had not heard what Su Xiaoxiao said.

Li Wanqing carefully looked at Li Hanchuan, her eyes never leaving for a moment, as if she was expecting him to take the initiative to say something related to Xu Hong.

But when the expectation became unattainable, Li Wanqing could only hesitate and said: "He... passed away."

"Passed away!"

Su Xiaoxiao pretended to make a fuss and said something loudly. The two seemed to be discussing Xu Hong's current situation in such a joke.

Glancing at Li Hanchuan inadvertently, Su Xiaoxiao seemed to be waiting for his subconscious reaction.

But the man still didn't speak, just ignored their conversation and continued to eat the rice in the bowl, with no trace of displeasure on his face.

Su Xiaoxiao and Li Wanqing looked at each other and were surprised by Li Hanchuan's calm performance.

"Yes...I'm sorry, Mom, I don't know. I didn't mean to ask about your sadness."

Su Xiaoxiao pretended to be innocent and apologized, trying his best to distance himself from the whole incident.

Li Nuanyang and Li Yuandong seemed to have seen something, but after looking at each other, they remained silent in a tacit understanding.

"There is nothing that can't be said about people who have passed away."

Li Wanqing just laughed it off because she had "no offense" to Su Xiaoxiao.

Seeing that Li Hanchuan was unfazed, she did not continue speaking. What's more, the meaning she wanted to convey had already been conveyed.

Then she deliberately changed the topic, "Mom, I accidentally heard a friend discussing today. He said that there was a couple who divorced and remarried after giving birth to a child. After the remarriage, they did not have any more children. What do you think will happen after the woman dies? It should be buried somewhere more appropriate.”

Su Xiaoxiao frowned slightly. She naturally thought of Xu Hong for the relationship that Li Wanqing was implying.

Could it be that Xu Hong remarried?

Without time to think about it, Su Xiaoxiao pretended to think about me, while looking at Li Hanchuan's expression. Seeing that he was indifferent, she said: "Mom, this question is quite interesting. Since these two people have no children in common, if the woman passes away Now, this biological child has to go to someone else's house to honor his mother. Isn't this a joke?"

"But if you bring your dead mother back, how can your stepmother be embarrassed?" Su Xiaoxiao thought, this was indeed a very complicated issue.

Li Hanchuan, who was on the side, listened to Li Wanqing's discussion and vaguely felt that it was just trying to attract others, so he still didn't say anything.

Li Nuanyang understood the reason why Li Wanqing asked so, it was just to bring Xu Hong back.

But if he followed Li Wanqing's words, Li Hanchuan would feel that they were all colluding.

So, he expressed different opinions and discussed with them: "Mom, according to our traditional Chinese customs, a woman should marry a chicken, a chicken, a dog, and a dog. Even after death, she should go to her last husband's family. In cemeteries, after people die, most people hold funerals in funeral parlors and then bury them in cemeteries. Doesn’t this conflict with the filial piety of children, right?”

Li Wanqing just looked at Li Hanchuan who said nothing, waiting for his answer.

However, the face that always had a smile on it in the past was particularly cold today.

"Hanchuan, if it were you, what would you do?"

Li Wanqing finally lost her temper and spoke tentatively.

Li Hanchuan paused for a moment, raised his eyes to look at Li Wanqing's eager eyes, and understood Su Xiaoxiao's sudden question.

When his eyes swept over everyone, Li Hanchuan was silent for a moment and insisted on his position: "Mom, we can't be the masters of other people's families, but as long as they are members of our Li family, there is no reason to be buried in other people's families!"

"Unless he has nothing to do with my Li family!"

Li Hanchuan added pointedly, unwilling to talk too much about the man with whom he had severed his father-son relationship.

Li Wanqing's eyes full of earnestness were filled with loss and frustration.

The only thing she was thankful for was that even if she just meant something, Li Hanchuan didn't get angry. In fact, this was the only time Li Hanchuan talked about issues related to Xu Hong in the past seven years.

Does this mean that there is still room for change in everything?

Such an answer was not surprising to Li Wanqing, but it was a bit too cruel.

She thought that since Xu Hong had passed away, all the grudges and grudges should have gone with the wind. What should they care about between a living person and a dead person?

Tears instantly filled her eyes. She lowered her head quietly, trying to hide the tears, but the harder she tried to hold back, the tears fell uncontrollably.

"Mom is a little uncomfortable. Let's go back to the room and rest first."

Li Wanqing turned her head away, letting her tears fall, turned around staggeringly, and walked slowly upstairs.

Seeing this, Li Yuandong explained for her, "Your mother hasn't been sleeping well lately. She must be suffering from jet lag. Don't worry about her. Let's eat!"

Li Hanchuan's eyes followed the direction in which Li Wanqing went upstairs. He was not stupid, so he had already guessed Li Wanqing's intention of suddenly saying this.

But he didn't want to touch on this sensitive topic. He suppressed the waves in his heart and turned to Su Xiaoxiao with a warm smile, "Let's eat!"
