If at first Mr. Su was still somewhat uncertain when he saw the name on the tombstone, seeing Grandma Yao confirmed that Gu Lingling was indeed Tian Wanfengâs biological granddaughter, and also his own biological granddaughter.
But why was Yao Rumei raised by Grandma Yao? Where exactly was Tian Wanfeng?
With these mysteries in mind, Mr. Su stepped into the Yao Familyâs home.
The elderly couple was still in recovery, and when they heard a guest had arrived, they came out of their room. Learning it was Su Ziqiaoâs grandfather caught them by surprise. Judging by his attire, he must be a high-ranking official.
Grandma Yao stared at Su Changsheng for a while, "Havenât we met somewhere before?"
Yao Zhenjiangâs expression turned sour. What do you mean, met before? This is clearly the first time theyâve met. This old man, whatâs the point of looking so handsome?
Look at that face, doesnât show any emotion, and claims theyâve met before?
Theyâve never met before, not a bit!
"Letâs talk inside," said Su Changsheng.
It wasnât just a vague resemblance; she was Tian Wanfengâs handmaid. There was another who was also married into his family with Tian Wanfeng; naturally, they were familiar.
The vague resemblance might have been because he had facial injuries back then.
Once inside the house, Su Changsheng carefully observed Grandma Yao again. Back then, she and another were Tian Wanfengâs maids. Grandma Yao was the youngest of the three and the most prone to tears, but also the one with the most skillful hands.
Who would have thought the girl who used to cry the most had now become an elder with white hair at the temples?
Oh, theyâve all grown old.
Itâs uncertain how many more years they have left. Will he see his Wanfeng in his lifetime?
When Gu Lingling and Hao Lianlian returned together, they saw Yao Zhenjiang squatting silently under the eaves with a dark expression, puffing at his tobacco pipe.
Whatâs going on?
Clearly, when she left, the two were getting along fine.
"Grandpa, please stop smoking, itâs not good for your health," Gu Lingling walked over and said.
"Mm." Yao Zhenjiang silently put away his tobacco pouch and smiled warmly at Gu Lingling, "Lingling is back, go inside then, we have a guest."
Hmph... they even managed to drive him out. If it werenât for his wifeâs recent recovery, he would have had a go at that old man; thatâs his wife, why should he be driven out?
Now thatâs better, his eldest granddaughter is back; letâs see if the people inside will stay hidden.
"So itâs you!" At that moment, from inside came Grandma Yaoâs sudden shout, her voice carrying a mix of anger, "Ah, Iâve been looking for you all these years, finally found you!"
Su Changsheng had just revealed his identity, intending to ask her about Tian Wanfengâs whereabouts, but hadnât expected that as soon as he turned his head, he felt a pain on his forehead and saw Grandma Yao glaring at him furiously, holding a broom.
The pain just now was from her hitting him with the broom.
"I will beat you to death," Grandma Yao angrily waved the broom and shouted in rage, "How dare you come back, how dare you ask about her, how do you have the face?"
Crying and cursing all the while.
By the time Gu Lingling, Yao Zhenjiang, and others rushed over in alarm, Su Changsheng had already been hit several times, yet he stood motionlessly, letting Grandma Yao hit him.
"Grandfather." Su Ziqiao couldnât stand it anymore, shielding his grandfather behind him, but was also hit once by the flustered and hitting Grandma Yao.
"Grandma." Gu Lingling hurriedly held her.
They had never seen Grandma Yao act like this before.
