Chapter 109: Morning of the Qingming Day

Tomorrow morning, Qingming Day.

At a little over seven, the main branch and the branch families of the Xu family headed to the cemetery. Old Madam Xu and a few other elderly stayed at home due to their fragile state.

Everyone within Calix's family went there by riding the same executive van aside from him who drove by himself. Behind the van and CEO Xu's car, more vehicles of their relatives followed.

Leslie was curious why Calix didn't join his family in the van. She asked him as the car was leaving Phoenix Heights behind. His answer pleasantly surprised her.

"I won't join their picnic after cleaning the tombs. I told Mom and Dad that I wanna check on you, my wife at home. They immediately gave permission."

"What a sneaky act! You just don't want to entertain them any longer, right?" Leslie wiggled her brows, staring at Calix with a smirk.
