Chapter 52: Return to the Huo Family Ancestral Home to Honor the Ancestors_1

```

The heavy rain continued to pour without end, and An Lan finally managed to hail a cab home, already soaked through for the most part.

After tidying up a bit, An Lan was toweling off her hair when she unconsciously glanced toward Huo Zhanting's study.

He had not returned.

But then again, with an award-winning actress for company, who was also an ex-girlfriend, how could it be just a dinner?

An Lan felt a twinge of awkward sadness, and, seemingly out of spite, turned her head back to the living room. Just as she sat down on the sofa, her phone rang.

It was an anonymous text message.

At that moment, her phone suddenly vibrated once.

A single line of text struck An Lan like a bolt of lightning.

"Your mother's death is related to Huo Zhanting."

Her fingertips trembled slightly, and her hand, clutching the phone, couldn't loosen its grip. The phone fell onto the thick carpet with a muffled thud.

Her mother's death was related to Huo Zhanting?
