Chapter 399: The First and Last Meeting

Yue Chuang opened his mouth and said, “Grandfather, she is Su Yan, my aunt’s biological daughter and my cousin.”

Yue Tengfei waved at Su Yan. “Good child, what are you waiting for? Come here quickly and let grandfather take a good look.”

Su Yan also came back to her senses. Her legs were trembling as she walked towards the old man standing in front of the desk. The old man was already 88 years old and his hair had all turned white. However, he still stood there with a straight back. He looked energetic.

When Su Yan walked closer, Yue Tengfei raised his trembling hand and gently touched Su Yan’s small face. He really wanted to pinch Su Yan’s small face, but he didn’t dare to do so. He was afraid that his old hands, which were covered with calluses, would hurt his granddaughter.

Yue Tengfei’s voice trembled as he said, “Child, your parents left early and left you suffering outside. It’s already very late. You should go and rest first. The room has already been prepared for you. Tomorrow morning, I will take you to see Grandma.”

Before pushing the door open and entering, Su Yan had imagined many scenes of her and her grandfather acknowledging each other, like hugging and crying, confiding in each other, and looking at each other without words. However, she didn’t expect it to be as easy and simple as it was now. However, this feeling made it feel very real to Su Yan.

Yue Chuang wasn’t lying. The Yue family had indeed been waiting for her and her mother to return home. Her aunt, Shi Li, had already cleaned her room long ago. Moreover, she had cleaned it personally because she wasn’t assured with the servants, and her room was right next door to Yue Chuang’s. If Yue Chuang was the young master of the Yue family, then she would be the little princess of the Yue family. The siblings had the same high status. There was no hierarchy.

Shi Li placed a plate of cut fruits in Su Yan’s room and said, “Su Yan, you’ve just returned home. There must be some places that you’re not used to. You’ll stay here for a period of time. I believe you’ll be able to get used to it soon. It’s getting late. You should rest early too. Tomorrow, we’ll go to the hospital to visit your grandmother. She’s been waiting for you.”

Su Yan smiled and said, “Thank you, Aunty. It’s been hard on you.”

Shi Li said gently, “Silly child, we’re a family. As long as you can go home, Aunty will be happy no matter what.”

After saying that, Shi Li closed the door for her. Before closing the door, she even specially said good night to her.

Su Yan sat on the bed and looked at her phone. It was already past two in the morning. Usually, at this time, as long as Wei Zhou didn’t anger her, she would have long fallen into a deep sleep. But now, she didn’t feel sleepy at all. She even felt as if a lifetime had passed. Everything had happened too quickly. A few hours ago, she was still alone, but now, she was the granddaughter of the Yue family. This feeling of having family made her heart feel warm. However, when she thought about going to the hospital to visit her grandmother tomorrow, she felt extremely upset.

Although no one said it explicitly, she knew very clearly. Based on Yue Chuang’s description of her grandmother’s situation, it was estimated that the first time they met would be the last time they met. Su Yan felt that she couldn’t process the blow of having just received a family member and then losing them. Moreover, she was very afraid of places like the funeral parlour. She had been alone in the funeral parlour for three days after the car accident. She wasn’t afraid of anything, nor was she afraid of the dark. It was just that she couldn’t face the scene of her loved ones lying in the crystal coffin. That kind of life and death separation was the thing that she couldn’t accept the most.

While thinking about these things, she didn’t know how much time had passed before Su Yan naturally fell asleep. She laid on the bed and slept the whole night without even taking off her clothes.

..

The next morning at six o’clock.

Su Yan woke up from her dream. In her dream, she saw the scene of her parents’car accident with her own eyes. Not only did she cry the whole night in her dream, she even woke herself up from her tears.

Su Yan sat up from the bed and it took a long time for her to come back to her senses. Looking at the unfamiliar furnishings and furniture in the room, she was a little stunned. It felt like it had only been a short while, but it was already the next day.

She stretched her limbs. The nightmare from the previous night had made her extremely dispirited. She went to the bathroom to wash her face and comb her hair. Then, she was led by the maid to the dining room for breakfast.

If Tang Yitong hadn’t suddenly sent her a message, she would have almost suspected who she was. Tang Yitong asked her why she had suddenly gone to Xiang City, if something had happened, and even asked her how she got to know Yue Chuang and so on. Su Yan was in a very bad mood. She wasn’t in the mood to tell Tang Yitong so much. Moreover, her thoughts were also in a mess. She didn’t know how to tell Tang Yitong, so she only said “I’ll tell you after I go back”.

Last night, someone had taken a picture of the two of them walking out of the airport together. There was also a picture of them eating in a restaurant. A trending search was once again dominated by Su Yan because of this matter.
