Chapter 82: Chapter 81 What about Wenyanâs background? Chapter 82: Chapter 81 What about Wenyanâs background? This dream made Wenyan feel very uncomfortable!
So much so that when she woke up, her heart palpitated for a while, and she broke out in a cold sweat all over.
By the time she fumbled for her phone and looked at it, she found that it was only a little after 6 in the morning, and the sky outside was still dark.
But she no longer felt sleepy.
Ever since her transmigration, she had either been cleaning up the mess left by her predecessor or busying herself with other matters, neglecting one very important thing.
That was, until now, she still had no idea how the original Wenyan had passed away.
No matter how hard she wracked her brain, she couldnât find a trace or clue in the original hostâs memories.
It felt as though she had just popped into existence.
When it comes to it, she really felt aggrieved herself. All she did was read a novel, and without any sort of accident happening, her soul had transmigrated.
But she had no idea where the original soul had gone.
Reflecting on this, Wenyan felt that she shared not just a name with her predecessor but also a similar plight.
She got out of bed, her heart filled with a mixture of emotions, and carefully wiped clean everything her predecessor had left in the room.
There were some trinkets she did not like before and had put away; now, she decided to take them out and place them in a noticeable spot to properly commemorate the original owner.
When Shen Yuan returned home from the company that evening, Wenyan took the initiative to knock on the door of Shen Yuanâs study.
âDad, I have brought you ginseng tea.â
âJust put it on my desk,â Shen Yuan was not often seen smiling, always looking very serious, but his tone was gentle towards Wenyan.
âDid you come to see me because thereâs something you need?â
Wenyan chuckled, âReally, nothing gets past you, Dad.â
âThen sit, donât stand,â he said.
Wenyan nodded and then began, âDad, Iâve been wanting to know about my own history. From what I can remember, as a child, I seemed to have always lived with my grandmother. But after she fell seriously ill, I was sent to an orphanage.
âI think I asked Grandma about my biological parents, but she always evaded the question. When I was small, I didnât understand, and I actually resented my birth parents. All the other kids had parents, but mine were not with me.
âI want to know who they really were. I wonder what kind of information was written on the files when you first came to pick me up from the orphanage. Can you tell me?â
Shen Yuan was somewhat surprised by Wenyanâs request.
Because when he had first taken her home, she had never mentioned her biological family. She wouldnât dare speak much about her grandmother, as it would make her so sad sheâd cry.
As she grew older, she mentioned the past even less.
With these thoughts, Shen Yuan closed his laptop and spoke with a tone of concern:
âYanyan, were you upset by that charlatanâs nonsense yesterday? Her hurtful words were really just driven by a desire for revenge. She felt wronged by the punishment she received and wanted to spread her suffering to us. You must understand that her words cannot be trusted.â
âYes, I know, Dad! She canât stir up anything or change anything. Iâm just suddenly a bit curious.â
She just suddenly wanted to know more about the original Wenyan.
Whether it was to live better in this world in the future, or to make a clean break with the past, she wanted to understand that period of her past.
Shen Yuan saw that Wenyanâs demeanor was not impulsive, so he nodded his head.
âAlright, I indeed checked your information before deciding to consider you, and after meeting you, I then decided to bring you back home. Wait for me for a moment, Iâll go find it.â
âHmm! Thank you, Dad.â
Since it was a very old file, Shen Yuan took a good while to find a file bag from the very back of the bookshelf.
The file bag was already somewhat faded and worn.
Wenyan carefully untied the string sealing the bag and took out the documents inside.
It was a substantial file bag, but inside there was only a thin sheet of paper and a photo of her as a baby.
The fatherâs section read âunknownâ.
The motherâs section read âWenrou,â along with a piece of her past she did not know.
According to the records, Wenyanâs mother had died from a car accident. At the time, Wenyan was only two and a half years old; during the accident, her mother protected Wenyan under her body, which saved Wenyanâs life.
Although it was just a few short sentences, they told the story of a motherâs lifetime.
Wenyan was very moved after reading it.
âSo my motherâs name was Wenrou, truly a gentle name. By the way, Dad, there is only a photo of me from my childhood here, no pictures of my mother and grandmother?â
Shen Yuan shook his head, âNo. If it were not absolutely necessary, your grandmother would not have sent you to the orphanage. She later became somewhat senile and developed a serious kidney disease. I heard that the rental house where you once lived was very messy, and there was hardly anything valuable. Only this photo from your infancy was well-preserved; your grandmother had wrapped it in a plastic bag to keep it from becoming damp or moldy.â
Although it was not her own personal experience, just hearing about these things made Wenyan feel somewhat distressed.
âAnd my dad? Do we really know nothing about him?â
âUnclear. Your biological motherâŠâ Shen Yuan paused for a moment before continuing, âwas pregnant before marriage. I heard that her insistence on giving birth to you was strongly opposed by your grandmother, but ultimately she could not change your motherâs mind.
âSuch a person is generally irresponsible, and what Iâve heard supports that, but I never witnessed it myself, so I cannot be certain. Perhaps your biological father had his difficulties.â
Wenyan was silent for a few seconds.
âIf he did have difficulties, then after all these years, he should have come looking for me. Just like you all searched for Zhirou, never stopping. The orphanage has always been there, the Shen Family too. If he truly wanted to find me, I think it wouldnât be difficult. But over all these years, it seems like thereâs never been any word of anyone looking for me.â
âYanyan, you will always be our Shen Familyâs child.â Shen Yuan was not good at comforting people; this was his assurance to Wenyan.
âThank you, Dad.â
As Wenyan put away the documents, she said to the original Wenyan in her heart,
âYou see, no need to cry over your origins. No matter how worthless our biological father is, we were born of our mother. Recognizing a mother is enough, right? What could be so unbearable? Our mother was so great; when we had her, we were loved.â
Although the original Wenyan might not be able to hear, Wenyan hoped she could know that her biological family was not lacking in any way!
She was also a little princess loved and protected by her mother and grandmother!
