Huo Xuan couldn’t see the girl’s expression. A moment later, he felt a dampness coming from his chest. Huo Xuan quietly sped up his patting of Mo Zhu’s back to comfort her. After a few more minutes, Mo Zhu’s original soft sobs turned into wails.

This frightened Huo Xuan quite a bit. He had known the girl for so long, but he had never seen Mo Zhu break down, let alone cry so badly now. Mo Zhu had always been calm and looked like she had everything planned out. There was rarely anything she wasn’t confident in achieving.

Now that she was so emotional, it was enough to prove how much Zhang Fen’s sudden death had affected her. Just now, with Xu Huan around, it was not convenient for her to let down her guard and reveal her true emotions. Now that Xu Huan had left, she could finally show a little weakness and vent the sadness in her heart.

Mo Zhu cried for a long time. After she was tired from crying, she leaned into Huo Xuan’s arms and fell asleep quietly.

Huo Xuan gently placed Mo Zhu on the chair, opened the car door, and slowly started the car.

The journey to the Huo residence was very smooth. He carefully carried Mo Zhu out of the car and placed the girl on the bed in the bedroom. Huo Xuan looked at the mottled blood on Mo Zhu’s body and frowned slightly. Then, he casually found a clean shirt from the cabinet for her to change into.

Mo Zhu was sleeping upstairs while Huo Xuan was busy investigating and dealing with tonight’s matter in the living room downstairs.

After an unknown period of time, Mo Zhu woke up in a daze. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the familiar decorations in the room. She understood that she was in the Huo residence now. Thinking of everything that had happened tonight, she lay motionlessly on the bed and stared at the ceiling.

A moment later, Mo Zhu stood up, opened the door, and walked downstairs. When she came to the living room, she raised her hand and poured herself a glass of water. Without saying a word, she took small sips and drank the water in the glass seriously.

Huo Xuan was making a call in the study on the first floor. One moment, he was solving Xu Huan’s problem, and the next moment, he was dealing with Mo Wu’s matters. Now that he heard rustling sounds in the living room, he quickly hung up the phone, opened the door, and made his way there.

Seeing Huo Xuan walk out of the room, Mo Zhu stood up and looked back at him indifferently. A few seconds later, the girl took a deep breath and said, as if she had made a decision, “Send me to the funeral parlor. I’ll send my grandmother on her last journey.”

When Huo Xuan heard this, he nodded lightly. He picked up his coat from the sofa and handed it to Mo Zhu and then went to get the car.

The two of them arrived at the funeral parlor in a few minutes. Xu Huan and Mo Wu had already received Huo Xuan’s instructions and were waiting at the entrance of the funeral parlor. Seeing the two of them walk over, Xu Huan took two steps forward to welcome them. “Brother Huo, Little Bamboo, you’re here.”

Huo Xuan nodded lightly. Seeing that there were so many people in the hall of the funeral parlor, he looked up and said lightly, “These people who came…”

Before Huo Xuan could finish asking, Mo Wu stood behind Xu Huan and explained, “Young Master, these people are all here to mourn for Grandma Zhang.”

Huo Xuan followed Mo Wu’s words and looked up.

Upon hearing the news of Grandma Zhang’s death, not only did many people from the various families in Cloud City come, but even the wealthy families in Beijing sent people over.

Among these people, some of them were Mo Zhu’s friends and acquaintances, while others were rushing to curry favor with the children of the Huo family. Few people cared about Grandma Zhang when she was alive, but now that she had passed away, the funeral had become so lively.

Mo Zhu sneered and ignored Xu Huan and Mo Wu. She walked straight into the funeral parlor.

Just as she pushed open the door of the funeral parlor, Chen Man, who was talking to the staff about the details, rushed over. She held Mo Zhu’s hand worriedly and patted it comfortingly as she said, “Good child, Auntie knows about what had happened. You’ve already done very well..”
