“Well, yes.”
“Before Little Fan left on his journey, he entrusted this little one, to me.”
“This is perhaps the Chu family, the last of its blood and bones.”
At the mention of Ye Fan, Grandmother Ancestor’s heart, tingled along with her.
After so many years, Grandma Ancestor had experienced many lives and deaths, and originally, he had long since taken them all in stride.
However, what had happened to Ye Fan was ultimately a huge blow to her.
After all, this child, Ye Fan, was the descendant of the Chu family that she had valued the most over the years.
And now, he had ended up like this.
To once again experience the pain of having one’s hair go white and one’s hair go black was undoubtedly extremely cruel to an old man who was already over 100 years old.
“Grandma Chu, can you let me hug him?”
The woman could not hide her agitated heart, and her trembling words asked softly.
To the end, the woman’s gaze, never moved half an inch from Chu Lin’s body.
Seeing this, Chu Lao Taijun seemed to have realised something.
Her expression trembled violently, “Xiao Yun, this child, could it be…”
Yes, the woman in front of her was no other than the former Lord of the Chu Sect, Tang Yun, whose whereabouts had been unknown since the battle of the Chu Sect back then.
Tang Yun did not say anything, she just walked towards Chu Lin.
She stretched out her hands and wanted to hug the little one.
But Chu Lin shrank his head in fear and hid behind his grandma’s back.
It was obvious that he was a little afraid of Tang Yun.
This look of Chu Lin’s clearly made Tang Yun unbearably uncomfortable and lost.
She was a stranger to her own flesh and blood.
In this world, this is probably the most heartbreaking thing for a mother.
“Don’t be afraid, Auntie Tang is your father’s friend, she is here to visit you on his behalf.”
Old Mrs. Chu said soothingly from the side.
“Really?”
“Have you seen my father?”
“When is Daddy coming back to pick me up.”
When Chu Lin heard his dad’s name, he became excited.
He tilted his head and kept asking to Tang Yun.
Tang Yun held tears in her eyes and did not say anything.
She just walked forward and hugged Chu Lin into her arms with all her might, shouting sorry, sorry under her breath.
Yes, in Tang Yun’s life, the man she was most sorry for was probably this little boy in front of her.
She had given her life, and she had not raised him properly.
She gave him the chance to know the world, but failed to give him any company.
Instead, over and over again, she made him suffer.
Sometimes, Tang Yun wondered if she hadn’t given birth to him back then on a whim, I guess this little one wouldn’t have suffered so much and experienced so many separations.
“Son, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
“It’s all my fault, I’m sorry for you…”
Tang Yun was sobbing uncontrollably, the touch of sadness in her words seemed to sweep over her like an abyssal sea.
The little one was completely stunned.
He didn’t know why this beautiful aunt in front of him was crying, but he could feel the intense sadness inside her.
Finally that understanding little fellow reached out his hand and wiped away the tear marks on Tang Yun’s cheeks.
And, from his pocket, he took out a crumpled piece of milk candy.
“Little Auntie, eat the candy.”
“This is what mummy left me.”
“Mummy said that if you want to cry later, you should have a candy.”
“If you eat the candy, you won’t want to cry.”
“I only have three pieces left, I can only give you one oh.”
The little one seemed a little reluctant to give up, looking and looking, but finally gave that candy to Tang Yun.
After all, he didn’t have much left.
When Tang Yun smiled, the tears in her eyes, indeed, became even more uncontrollable.
Smiling through her tears, she said a thank you.
After the short reunion, Old Madam Chu then sent Chu Lin back to her room first.
She felt that Tang Yun needed to calm her emotions.
If Chu Lin was still here, it was estimated that this silly girl, who was crying, would not even be able to speak.
“Tell me, what is going on?”
“This Little Lin, is it really your and Little Fan’s child?”
Old Mrs Chu, sitting down on a stone bench in the courtyard.
In front of her, Tang Yun’s beautiful eyes were red and swollen.
Faced with Old Madam’s question, Tang Yun nodded gently like a kitten that had done something wrong.
“You…”
Upon confirming this, Old Taijun Chu was furious, her old eyes glaring.
“You stinky girl, I don’t even know what to say about you.”
“Since you were born, why didn’t you raise it?”
“Look at you two, you don’t act like a father and you don’t act like a mother.”
“Give birth to a child and just throw it to Ye Fan and you don’t care?”
“If you couldn’t give the child peace and happiness, why did you give birth to him in the first place.”
“It caused little Lin, who came into this world, to suffer because of you!”
“Look at that poor child, my heart breaks even looking at him…”
The old Taijun could be said to be furious.
She when now remembered that when Ye Fan had sent Chu Lin here, the little one was still sleeping and calling out for his mother and father in his dreams.
But when she opened her eyes, everything had changed.
Mum was gone, and dad was gone too.
All that was left was the unfamiliar bricks and mortar around them, and the unfamiliar people in front of them.
The first day here, the little one cried hoarsely.
It broke the old lady’s heart to hear it.
After crying for days on end, Chu Lin accepted the harsh reality that he no longer had a father or mother to accompany him.
On Ye Fan’s side, Old Taijun could not accuse her of anything.
After all, Ye Fan had no choice but to leave Chu Lin with him.
However, now that Tang Yun, the mother, had suddenly appeared, Old Taijun was naturally angry.
This mother was even more incompetent than Ye Fan, the father!
Old Taijun was so angry that she wanted to hit her.
Faced with Old Taijun’s accusations, Tang Yun did not say anything, nor did she have anything to say, she just stood there with her head bowed, tears sliding down like broken pearls.
“Come on, don’t cry.”
“What qualifications do you have to cry?”
“It’s the children who are suffering.”
“From now on, you should stay here and spend more time with Lin.”
“However, your identity, I suggest hiding it for a while. The boy is suffering enough, you should not stimulate him any more.”
Old Taijun saw that Tang Yun had already turned into tears, and her heart undoubtedly softened.
She didn’t accuse Tang Yun anymore and told her to make up to Chu Lin more in the future.
“By the way, I heard from Little Fan that you have lost your memory, haven’t you?”
“Now, it’s coming back to you?”
Old Madam Chu looked at Tang Yun, and reached out to take Tang Yun’s pulse to check her injuries.
“Hmm.”
“Brother Zhenghong helped me heal.” Tang Yun replied.
The reason why Tang Yun was all but silent during this period of time was because she had been led away by her sister Tang Rui to recuperate from her injuries and see a doctor.
“Brother Zhenghong?”
“You mean, Ye Fan’s b*stard old man, Chu Zhenghong? That son of a b*tch of mine?” Old Mrs. Chu asked after her.
Tang Yun nodded her head.
The corners of Old Mrs. Chu’s eyes twitched fiercely then.
What a mess!
It was all a mess!
The relationship was so confusing that even she, an old woman, could not sort it out.
“You silly girl, from now on you shout after Little Fan.”
“If you shout at him as brother, then is it difficult for Little Lin to call him uncle?”
Chu Lao Taijun glared at Tang Yun and corrected her address to Chu Zhenghong.
Otherwise this would be a real f*cking mess!
Tang Yun also seemed to understand, and her pretty face reddened slightly.
“Okay.”
“Stay here in peace for now.”
“It’s good that you’re here, I’ll leave it to you to take care of the little brat.”
“I’m an old woman, I can’t look after the child.”
As she spoke, Old Madam Chu handed an ancient and mysterious book to Tang Yun.
On the cover were four gilt typed words: the Cloud Dao Heavenly Book.
When Tang Yun saw it, she immediately drew a cold breath: “Grandma Chu, this… This is?”
Old Mrs Chu nodded, “Yes. This is where the heritage of my Chu Family has been passed down for a thousand years, the Cloud Dao Heavenly Book!”
“On it, there is the lifelong learning and insight of my ancestor Yunyang.”
“When Little Fan was leaving, he handed it over to me along with this little one.”
“And told me that he didn’t want the little one to get involved in the martial arts .”
“However, in the Cloud Dao Heavenly Book, apart from martial arts techniques, there are also astronomy, geography, medicine, formations and other strange arts, and these can be practiced more by Little Lin.”
“You are the mother, let’s leave the matter of educating your son to you.”
