Today is the anniversary of their mother's death. Xing Nian and Mu Huaichen put on black clothes early and went to the Xing family cemetery.

Xing Nian rubbed her hands nervously along the way, while Mu Huaichen held her hand tightly, giving her silent comfort.

After arriving at the cemetery, the two saw Xing Lang and Lin Yi.

When Xing Lang and Lin Yi saw that Mu Huaichen had really come, they immediately went forward to greet him with a smile, but Mu Huaichen had a cold face and ignored their attitude.

Xing Nian walked forward angrily and asked Lin Yi: "What are you doing here?"

Xing Lang quickly said, "Xing Nian, she is your stepmother after all. She just came here to help. Don't yell at her."

Xing Nian was unmoved. She pushed Xing Lang away and walked into the cemetery, followed closely by Mu Huaichen.

Lin Yi stood there, looking at Xing Nian's back, with a hint of viciousness in her eyes. She thought to herself, "This little bitch keeps talking about mistresses, do you really think I have no temper?"

At this moment, Lin Yi received a text message on her mobile phone. She glanced at the content of the message and a smug smile appeared on her face.

She thought to herself, "You little bitch, let's see if you can still laugh later."

However, Xing Nian and Mu Huaichen did not notice Lin Yi's abnormality.

They came to the tomb and silently laid flowers and offerings to express their longing for their deceased relatives. Xing Nian knelt in front of the tomb and spoke in a low voice.

"Mom, I'm back. I missed you so much." Xing Nian knelt in front of the grave, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

Xing Nian wiped her tears and continued, "Mom, I'm married. This is my husband Mu Huaichen."

Mu Huaichen stepped forward, bowed deeply, and said respectfully: "Auntie, hello, I am Nian Nian's husband Mu Huaichen."

Xing Nian turned to look at Mu Huaichen and corrected her with a smile: "We are married now, you should call me mom."

Mu Huaichen hesitated for a moment, but still responded gently: "Mom, I am Nian Nian's husband Mu Huaichen."

Xing Nian turned to the tombstone again and said with expectant eyes: "Mom, I am living a good life now. Mu Huaichen dotes on me and loves me very much. Mom will bless me and Mu Huaichen, right?"

The two stayed in front of the tomb for a while, and then Xing Lang came over. He said sincerely: "Shiyi, Nian Nian is here to see you. Now Nian Nian has grown into a beautiful young lady, and she is married. I think you must be very happy down there."

Xing Nian listened to Xing Lang's sincere words. She once thought that Xing Lang still loved her mother, but when she thought about the past, she became uncertain.

Xing Lang continued, "Niannian, your mother left some things behind before she died. I plan to give them to you today."

Hearing that it was her mother's relics, Xing Nian asked excitedly: "Where are my mother's relics?"

Xing Lang pointed to the car parked not far away and said, "I left it in the car. Come with me to get it."

Xing Nian looked at Mu Huaichen and asked if he wanted to go together.

Xing Lang was afraid that Mu Huaichen would follow him, so he interrupted him quickly: "Your mother didn't leave much behind, so there's no need to bother President Mu to go down again in person. Nian Nian, just come with me."

Mu Huaichen held Xing Nian's hand and said gently, "I will stay here to accompany your mother and talk to her more, hoping to gain her approval. I'll wait for you here, come back soon."

Xing Nian nodded and followed Xing Lang downstairs.

However, Xing Lang did not go to the parking lot.

Didn’t you say you put the stuff in the car?

I misremembered, I left my stuff in the lounge.

Xing Nian just felt that something was wrong, but couldn't put his finger on it, so he followed Xing Lang to the lounge.

When I walked into the lounge, it was a cloudy day, the curtains were drawn, the light in the room was dim, and the atmosphere was unusually depressing.

Xing Nian immediately realized something was wrong, and when she turned around, she found that Xing Lang had already closed the door and quickly locked it from the outside.

Xing Nian tried to open the door, but found it was locked. She banged on the door anxiously and shouted, "Xing Lang, what do you mean by bringing me here and locking the door? Where are my mother's relics?"

However, only Xing Nian's voice echoed throughout the floor, and no one else's response could be heard. Xing Nian's heart sank to the bottom, and she began to realize that this might be a premeditated trap.

On the other side, not long after Xing Nian left, Lin Yi hurried over to tell Mu Huaichen that Xing Nian accidentally fell when he went downstairs and was now sent to the infirmary.

Upon hearing the news that Xing Nian was injured, Mu Huaichen was shocked and immediately ran to the medical room.

However, when he arrived, he found the medical room empty, and an ominous premonition instantly came to his mind.

Just as he was about to leave, a woman walked in. Mu Huaichen recognized her at a glance. It was Xing Wan.

Xing Nian was trapped in the house at the moment. The door was locked tightly from the outside, the windows were sealed tightly, and even his cell phone had lost signal.

She was filled with confusion and uneasiness. What exactly was Xing Lang's intention? Was he just trying to trap her here?

Xing Nian thought back to everything Xing Lang had done just now.

When Mu Huaichen learned that he was going downstairs to get his mother's belongings, Xing Lang seemed a little flustered, as if he didn't want Mu Huaichen to follow him. Could it be that their target was Mu Huaichen?

No matter what their purpose was to do to Mu Huaichen, Xing Nian would not allow herself to be trapped, and she began to actively look for a way out.

However, the whole room was like a secret room.

Xing Nian sat on the bed in the lounge, constantly thinking about how to leave here.

At that moment, Xing Nian saw the ventilation ducts on the ceiling.

Xing Nian took action immediately. He got up, piled all the beds in the lounge together, climbed into the ventilation duct, and went out.

I returned to my mother's grave, only to find it empty.

After taking out my cell phone, the signal was still weak.

At this time, Xing Nian saw Xing Lang sneaking out of a building in the cemetery.

Xing Nian hurried over, grabbed Xing Lang by the collar and said, "Where is Mu Huaichen?"

Xing Lang was obviously startled by Xing Nian's appearance. He asked in shock, "How did you get out?" But Xing Nian didn't have time to talk nonsense with him. She impatiently asked again about Mu Huaichen's whereabouts.

Although Xing Lang pretended to know nothing, his obviously guilty eyes and flustered tone had already betrayed him.

Xing Nian keenly noticed that Xing Lang's gaze occasionally drifted towards the building behind. She immediately let go of Xing Lang's clothes, kicked him to the ground, and then rushed into the building without hesitation.
