Traveling Through the Grave Robbers' Chronicles: Starting from Meeting You

Outside the door, Wu Sanxing, Jie Lianhuan, Chen Wenjin, and Huo Ling stood side by side, their eyes fixed on Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling who were standing at the door.

Jie Lianhuan has taken off the mask he has worn for more than ten years, revealing his true face.

Maybe it was because he had played Wu Sansheng for too long. Even without the mask, his small expressions and movements were exactly the same as Wu Sansheng.

They look 70% similar, and at first glance, they look like twins born from the same mother.

Zhang Hanyan looked at them with confusion on her face.

"You...something's wrong?"

Wu Sansheng raised his hand, shook the gift in his hand, and pointed to the courtyard inside the gate.

"Can we go inside and talk?"

Zhang Hanyan subconsciously looked at Zhang Qiling, and he happened to be looking at her. Their eyes met, and they immediately understood each other's meaning.

She nodded, without saying anything more, and turned around and walked back with Zhang Qiling.

Wu Sansheng and his companions looked at the door that was not closed, smiled at each other, and walked into the yard together.

In the courtyard, Wu Xie and Jie Yuchen saw Wu Sanxing and Jie Lianhuan walking side by side, and they couldn't help but show a hint of astonishment in their eyes.

Huo Xiuxiu shifted her gaze from Xiliu's face and looked at Huo Ling. Her body paused slightly and she stood there in a complete daze.

"Aunt? How is that possible?"

Huo Ling did not avoid her gaze at all, and looked at her calmly.

Because of the arrival of Wu Sansheng and his companions, the atmosphere around them suddenly became tense, and there was no more laughter and joy.

"It's getting late, how about we cook first and then talk slowly after dinner?"

The fat man forced a smile, pushed Wu Xie beside him, blinked wildly at Wu Xie, and signaled Wu Xie to look at Jie Yuchen.

Wu Xie followed his gaze and saw that Xie Yuchen's face looked very unhappy. It seemed that he had not yet forgiven Xie Lianhuan.

He gently tugged at Xie Yuchen's sleeve and gave advice in a low voice.

"Xiaohua, it's New Year's Day. Let's talk about it after dinner. Come on, there's still a lot of work to do in the kitchen."

He dragged Xie Yuchen into the kitchen by force. When the rest of the people saw them leave, they also turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Wu Sansheng looked at the busy kitchen and wanted to go up to help.

As soon as he took a step, Zhang Qiling stretched out his hand to block his way.

Zhang Qiling looked at him quietly, his deep eyes full of indifference, and he looked too calm.

"You guys wait in the living room!"

He left as soon as he finished speaking, without giving Wu Sanxing any time to think.

Wu Sansheng and his companions looked at the kitchen which was full of joy and laughter, and instantly realized that they could not fit in with those young people in the kitchen.

He looked at Jie Lianhuan, Chen Wenjin and the others, waved his hands helplessly and said.

"Come on, we'll wait in the living room."

Their eyes met, and they all saw a little bitterness and helplessness in each other's eyes.

The people in the kitchen have clear division of labor: some pick vegetables, some cut vegetables, some prepare chopped onions, ginger and garlic, some cook, some wash dishes and some clean up the kitchen.

In less than half an hour, all the dishes were served on the table.

There were a lot of people, ten people sitting around a round table, and two tables full of food.

"Fatty, why are you pushing me?"

Before Wu Xie's butt even touched the stool, Fatty picked him up and pushed him towards the table where Wu Sansheng and the others were sitting.

"It's Chinese New Year, and your uncle finally came back. Why don't you sit with him and join us?"

After he finished speaking, he smiled and stood in front of Xie Yuchen and Huo Xiuxiu who were about to take a seat. He put his hands on his hips and looked at Xie Lianhuan and Huo Ling with a nod.

The meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Xie Yuchen had no intention of paying any attention to the fat man, and he had no intention of sitting down with Xie Lianhuan to have dinner.

He pushed the fat man away and sat down next to the blind man.

When Huo Xiuxiu saw that Jie Yuchen was not leaving, she had no intention of leaving either. But before she could find a seat to sit down, the fat man pushed her aside.

"There's not enough room at this table. Go sit next to your aunt."

Huo Xiuxiu glanced at Xiliu, then reluctantly walked over to sit next to Huo Ling.

After everyone sat down, Xie Lianhuan looked at Xie Yuchen and a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

He looked at Wu Xie who was sitting next to him and secretly nudged him with his elbow.

Wu Xie turned to look at him, "What's up, uncle?"

"Call Xiaohua over to sit down. I have something to tell him."

Wu Xie looked up at Xie Yuchen, whose face was gloomy, coughed lightly, touched the tip of his nose, and slowly stood up.

Under everyone's gaze, he walked hesitantly to Xie Yuchen.

"Xiaohua, come over and sit next to me."

Xie Yuchen glanced at Xie Lianhuan casually and immediately understood Wu Xie's intention.

Without waiting for him to refuse, Wu Xie directly grabbed his hand and pulled him up, forcibly pulled him to Jie Lianhuan, and pressed his shoulders to make him sit down.

Hei Xia Zi glanced at the empty seat next to him and felt an indescribable sense of loss in his heart.

Xie Lianhuan frequently looked at Xie Yuchen, who had a gloomy face. He knew that Xie Yuchen was still angry with him.

He understood Xie Yuchen's temper. He had always been short-tempered since he was a child, but he would be fine if he coaxed him sincerely.

He took the bottle of wine on the table and silently poured a full glass of white wine into Xie Yuchen's glass.

Under Xie Yuchen's puzzled gaze, he picked up the wine glass in front of him, looked at Xie Yuchen and smiled.

"Xiaohua, I have let you down for so many years. Today, I want to sincerely apologize to you.

All these years, you have had such a hard life because of me. If I had not participated in this plan and stayed in the Jie family...

You might be able to grow up to your twenties without worries, just like Wu Xie..."

As Xie Lianhuan spoke, the hardships that Xie Yuchen had experienced since childhood emerged in his mind. He lowered his head in silence, not daring to look at Xie Yuchen again.

Xie Yuchen looked at Xie Lianhuan steadily, and his tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed. He pondered for a long time, reached out to pick up the wine glass on the table, tilted his head back and drank it in one gulp.

"Come home with me tomorrow."

He said softly, with a relief in his voice that he had never felt before.

Upon hearing this, Xie Lianhuan suddenly raised his head and looked at him in shock, as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard.

Xie Yuchen didn't say anything more, just took the bottle and poured himself another glass of wine.

He looked at the full wine glass in front of Jie Lianhuan, and showed no intention of putting down the bottle in his hand.

"Hurry up and drink. If you dawdle any longer, your nephew might not pour you a drink."

After Chen Wenjin's reminder, Xie Lianhuan finally reacted, happily picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Xie Yuchen looked at his empty wine glass in silence and poured him some wine.

The uncle and nephew drank one glass after another, as if they wanted to drink up all the wine they hadn't drunk together in all these years today.

Huo Xiuxiu was really happy for Jie Yuchen when she saw Jie Lianhuan reconcile. She looked at Huo Ling with a smile and poured wine and picked up some food for her.

"Aunt, you haven't been home for so many years. Grandma misses you so much. Let's go home together tomorrow. Grandma will be so happy to see you that she will be speechless."

"Well, after all these years, I miss her too..."

Huo Ling looked at Huo Xiuxiu, who was talking and laughing, and her words were also full of smiles.

Wu Xie had nothing to say to Wu Sanxing, but he said something through gritted teeth while pouring him wine and tea.

"Uncle San, Uncle Er is still waiting at home to punish you. When you return later, you will suffer the consequences."

Wu Sansheng was having a great time drinking and eating, but when he heard what he said and thought of Wu Erbai's way of dealing with people, he immediately became gloomy.

He looked at the table full of delicacies and felt that the food on the table no longer smelled good.

During the meal, Zhang Qiling was paying attention to Zhang Hanyan's every move as they toasted each other.

When she picked up the wine glass countless times, he decisively took the glass from her hand and did not dare to let her drink a sip of wine.

Zhang Qiling did not forget how much trouble she had caused him the last time she got drunk at Yuncai's house.

Zhang Mo had been watching their every move intentionally or unintentionally. He concealed the bitterness in his eyes and tried his best to look normal.

Fatty and Yuncai have always been very affectionate and show their love to each other unscrupulously in front of a group of single people.

Xi Liu really couldn't stand Huo Xiuxiu's scorching gaze, so she had to switch seats with Zhang Mo and sit with her back to Huo Xiuxiu.

But even so, he could still feel the undisguised gazes and scrutiny coming from behind him.

Zhang Hanyan noticed Xiliu's sad face. She remembered what Xiliu had told her and decided to talk to Huo Xiuxiu alone tonight.
