Chapter 457: Chapter 458: Healing Cycle 4
"Have you met Nianyang before?" Yunrou asked casually.
Mrs. Dongâs eyes flickered for a moment and said, "No, I saw her in a photo privately kept by Old Master Chu. The girl looks very much like Old Master Chuâs sister who sacrificed herself, which is why I was a bit out of sorts."
"Oh, really? You say this girl looks like my aunt?" Chu Tianming was somewhat surprised. When it came to Old Master Chuâs sister, she was quite a figure back in the day as well.
Only she passed away in an accident before he was born, reportedly while doing something for Old Master Chu.
So over the years, Old Master Chu had always felt very guilty towards his sister.
Old Master Chu had only one photo of his sister, which he kept tightly, and apparently lost it afterward. Even Chu Tianming has never seen it, so he doesnât know about these things.
"Well, that really is quite a coincidence," Yunrou smiled.
"But the world is big, and itâs not surprising to find someone with similar eyebrows and eyes now and then. Mrs. Dong, it seems your mindset still isnât steady enough; you need to practice more."
"The lady is right." Mrs. Dong bowed her head but couldnât help glancing again at Nianyang, her heart feeling like it was being roasted over a fire, it really did look alike, so alike.
What she didnât say was that Nianyang looked exactly like Old Master Chuâs sister. Could she be the lost eldest lady of the Chu Family?
But back then, she clearly...
Mrs. Dong was a mess inside, but she quickly gathered her thoughts.
Upon Yunrouâs orders, she led Nianyang and the others to Old Master Chuâs courtyard. Old Master Chu was ill and unable to take care of himself and preferred peace and quiet, so Chu Tianming gave him a large courtyard in the south of the backyard.
It was morning now, with the winter sun warming the day. Old Master Chu, his temples graying, sat in a wheelchair basking in the sun.
Yunrou instructed Mrs. Dong to push him over, Mrs. Dong hesitated, "Madam, Old Master Chu has fallen asleep, isnât it not good to wake him up..."
Nianyang found Mrs. Dong strange, but couldnât pinpoint why, so she calmly said, "Itâs okay, Iâm just taking his pulse, I wonât disturb Grandpa Chu!"
"Mrs. Dong, push him over!" Chu Tianming ordered.
Mrs. Dong had no choice but to hesitantly push Old Master Chu in front of everyone. Seeing Old Master Chu, Nianyang was stunned for a moment, it was him!
Half a year ago when she went to the provincial capital for a business deal on fruits and vegetables, she had saved that elderly man having a seizure in the Ruan Family restaurant.
At that time, the elderly man was quite affluent-looking, how did he become so skinny and shriveled now? His hair had turned completely white, and his face was full of wrinkles, clearly showing a lack of vitality, nearing the end of life!
Li Tingyan noticed Nianyangâs discomposure and asked softly, "Whatâs wrong, Nini? Is Grandpa Chuâs illness very tricky?"
Nianyang shook her head, "No, Ayan, didnât you recognize him? Half a year ago, at the Phoenix Restaurant in the provincial capital, the grandpa I saved was Grandpa Chu!"
Li Tingyan was taken aback, "You mean that was Grandpa Chu back then?
I was only paying attention to you at that time, didnât notice anything else..."
"..."
This man, Nianyang was also speechless, so he just regarded Grandpa Chu as a background prop back then!
Chu Tianming looked at Nianyang with delight, "So the young girl who saved my father was you!"
Yunrou said, "Oh my, what a twist of fate, weâve been looking for you all along, wanting to thank you in person. If it werenât for your prompt emergency aid back then, the old man might not have made it to today!"
