To Love You Again

Chapter 201 - The Reason Behind Rebirth

Chapter 201 - The Reason Behind Rebirth

Gao Huan glanced at Lu Jin again. Then he smiled at the butler to gain more information.

"I see, Lu Yin Ze wanted to introduce his friends to Auntie. May I ask who are the friends he did bring?" Gao Huan thought of a certain girl that seemed to have a close relationship with Lu Yin Ze.

"Second Young Master brought his friends from school. Young Miss Xiong, Young Miss Song, and Young Master Gu, are the names of his friends."

Gao Huan smiled once more.

"I see. How nice of him." However, behind those smiles was a dubious thought.

'Is Xiong Zhi and Lu Yin Ze are that intimate?'

Guan Gao Huan knew the situation of the Lu family. That's why he was shocked too when he heard that that coward actually managed to have guts to visit the dead. And bringing his friends at that.

But then his smile turned sincere. Seeing them here, would be nice too right? He kinda wants to see what would be the reaction of that girl when she saw him. Would she turn blank? Would she glare? Or ignore him? Gao Huan looked forward to seeing Xiong Zhi.

"So I guess, we will see them?" He was looking at the butler when he asked this but this question was aimed at the man behind him.

Lu Jin nodded.

Gao Huan's eyes glinted with excitement.

Xiong Zhi listened to Lu Yin Ze and Song Xuantin who kept telling stories to their 'Auntie'. They told the deceased Madam about their play, their favorite food in lunch, and even Lu Yin Ze's birthday. Speaking of Lu Yin Ze's birthday made her think about the box.

Xiong Zhi observed the smiling Lu Yin Ze. Thinking that she should give the box to Lu Yin Ze today. The box was still in her possession. After that event, she put it into her backpack to give it to Lu Yin Ze anytime.

Now, it seems today was the right time to give it to him. Xiong Zhi took note that she would give it to him later.

She looked around on the tombstone. What she was interested in this place was the other tombstone beside Lu Yin Ze's mom. The silver-white pavilion.

She back out a little while the three were immersed in telling stories to the newly acquired Auntie.

It was just a quick walk. She entered the pavilion. It was clean and wider than the pavilion of Lu Yin Ze's mom. The setting was the same. It was a wide place with an altar.

Xiong Zhi walked forward. She looked at the portrait of the woman. Silver-hair, silver-blue eyes that shines like moon. This lady was truly beautiful. She recovered some of her memory when she was in 'that' state at the Lu mansion when she saw her portrait.

The voice who woke her up from her slumber, the woman whom she finds familiar, and the image of that man.

It was not complete. But she guessed why she was here. Why she returned back time. Why she was chosen. And why the Lu family....

It was not yet complete. But she could hardly guess.

Xiong Zhi kneeled down and bowed.

[A pity. Truly A pity.]

The voice of that woman seemed to resound again in her ears.

[Strong Soul, wake up.]

"I woke up. Thanks to you," Xiong Zhi said, speaking to air while her head was still bowed.

The two beautiful silver-blue moons were shining to her, following her every move.

[Do you want a second chance?]

At that time, she, Xiong Zhi could not answer or speak. Her thoughts were jumbled. But the will to live and to find that man whom she dearly loves was strong. So strong that it made the beautiful silver moons turned to crescent.

[I can grant you a wish. Do you want to hear me?]

Xiong Zhi looked up and face the portrait. She lights an incense. While her mind was still reminiscing to 'that' time. To the memory before she gone rebirth.

The strong soul, Xiong Zhi , who still had not found her voice, nodded with all her might. Her soul turned brighter. Seeming to say, [I want to turn back time and see him again..]

[Very well, I will grant your wish to meet him again.]

Xiong Zhi who was kneeling spoke,

"I bet we are same people..."

The voice from nowhere continued to speak.

[But. You have to promise me something.]

Xiong Zhi continued to speak again.

"We are both selfish. "

[Help the Lu family...]

"We are both ready to do everything..."

[To overcome retribution.]

"For our loved ones even after Death.

[If you do, you will able to live with him again.]

The Xiong Zhi who was held by the silver thread lights and who was being looked down upon by the two silver-blue moons, and the Xiong Zhi who was kneeling and staring at the portrait had the same feelings that would never change even after death.

"Of course. I would never waste this chance."

No matter what kind of retribution the Lu family was facing, no matter what kind of road was waiting for her, for her and Linfeng to be able to live again in their heart's content, she would fight back.

The lady in the portrait was right to choose her.

Yes. She was a strong soul.

The group was sitting in the golf cart was about to exit the inner section when they saw another golf cart coming.

The head butler was stunned. Not everyone, even those who worked in the mansion had a privilege to come and go to the burial site. This was the most sacred place after all in the Lu Mansion.

The golf cart approached each other. That's when the head butler saw who was the people in the golf-cart.

"Second Young Master. "

Lu Yin Ze who was listening to Song Xuantin and Gu Zhen endless bantering looked at him.

"Young Master Guan Gao Huan is ahead. He seemed to visit the Madam."

Xiong Zhi's attention instantly turned to them.

"Gao Huan?" Lu Yin Ze doesn't know Gao Huan's routine here.

"Yes. The blue roses around Madam's pavilion were actually trimmed by the representative of Young Master Gao Huan every time they visit the Madam. I can say that Young Master Gao Huan was really sincere and attentive towards madam. I bet he treated the Madam as his own mother."

Lu Yin Ze and Xiong Zhi were confused at this.

"Is that so? Then let's meet him. I would like to express my sincere thanks to him."

Xiong Zhi looked at the approaching cart. She did not even believe that Guan Gao Huan would have that heart to treat the Madam like that. For sure that beast was scheming something.

Gao Huan saw the people in the cart and smiled.

"Yin Ze, it's so nice to see you here."

Lu Yin Ze showed his polite smile. His last meeting with Guan Gao Huan was not that warming and somehow he felt something off about him. But he was not in the deposition to judge the other right now.

"Long time no see, Gao Huan. I've heard from the head butler what have you been doing in the past years. It's a shame I can't visit my Mom for eight years. I'm glad you are keeping her company from time to time. I'm really thankful." Lu Yin Ze sincerely thanks Gao Huan.

Gao Huan accepted his thanks.

"No problem. Aunt is my family after all." Then he glanced at the three at the back. To be more precise, he looked at Xiong Zhi who received his stare. Seeing that the girl did not avoid his stare and looked at him determinedly made Gao Huan more excited. It was out of his expectations again. He did not cover his smile and spoke to Xiong Zhi.

"We meet her again, Young Miss Zhi."

All eyes turned to Xiong Zhi.

Xiong Zhi was a Xiong so it was natural to be greeted by a Guan. As both came from the legendary families.

Xiong Zhi nods. There's no fear in her eyes. But she was guarded. After visiting her benefactor's tombstone, Xiong Zhi resolve got stronger. Those bitter memories could not be forgotten easily. Nor traumas could not be that buried in a span of time. But her will to change her fate and Linfeng's was stronger to her fears and disgust. This made her think that the Guan Gao Huan was not that scary like he was in her last life. She still had time.

"Yeah. We did see each other again."

Guan Gao Huan stared at her. Observing her.

"I'm glad you seem ready to speak to me. As before in ou meetings, you look uncomfortable around me. It's like you don't want to see me at all." These words made the people looked back and fro to Gao Huan and Xiong Zhi. It seemed there was a story between the two.
