Chapter 824: Secret Return
Nan Hua nodded. She looked at the bamboo swaying in accordance with the wind in front of her calmly. This has always been the place she spent most of her time when she was in her grandfather’s residence.
“Hua’er, have you thought of your next plan?” Old Master Nan asked tenderly.
Nan Hua was quiet for a moment. “I haven’t thought about it.”
It was not a complete lie. She had thought of some decisions, but she hadn’t decided on what she was supposed to do. If she were to follow the original story timeline, the original Nan Hua would die soon.
Besides, there were some things that she wanted to know.
The things… that seemed to be quite odd from the original story.
Old Master Nan sighed. He reached out his hand and picked Nan Hua up effortlessly. Even though he was already growing older, he still had a lot of energy and power. Lifting up someone as light as Nan Hua was naturally very easy.
“Hua’er, if you want to tell me something, you can always say it, okay?”
Nan Hua looked at her grandfather. “Grandfather must have heard from Luo that I lost part of my memory, right?”
“You mean, the one during the time when you’re in that b*stard residence? There’s no need to worry. I don’t need you to remember those times either.” In fact, Old Master Nan felt that it would be better for Nan Hua not to remember any of them. He didn’t want to see her being in pain.
Time would heal most wounds, even the deepest ones.
But it could not erase the pain that one once felt.
That was why Old Master Nan would rather have Nan Hua forget about those memories. That way, she would not remember the pain that she had once experienced in Nan Shu Cheng’s hand.
However, he knew that forgetting everything was not entirely good because there were also happy memories of Nan Hua and her mother there. When she forgot, she would naturally also forget about her mother.
This was something that Old Master Nan felt pity about.
“I only remember a few bits.” Nan Hua looked at Old Master Nan and admitted frankly.
“Are you worried about that?” Old Master Nan laughed a bit. “Sometimes, you can be quite childish too, Hua’er.”
Childish?
Nan Hua was speechless.
Was she really childish? But it could be said that she didn’t have any childhood as she was forced to grow up and grew up in that harsh conditions. Every single day was a battle of life and death.
The slightest negligence was more than enough to send her to meet with her Creator.
Because of that, Nan Hua had never thought that other people would consider her actions childish.
This made her wonder a bit whether she was really as childish as other people said. But she was sure that she could manage the organization well and didn’t act like a brat who didn’t know the world.
While Nan Hua was confused, Old Master Nan laughed lightly.
He continued, “Whether you remember or not, you’re still my granddaughter. What makes you my family member is not simply because we have blood relations alone. Rather, it’s because I had decided to be your family member, acknowledge you, and treat you as one.
That’s why I’m your grandfather, and you’re my granddaughter. Whatever other people said, no matter whether you remember or not, I’ll always be your grandfather, Hua’er.”
Listening to her grandfather’s words, Nan Hua felt much calmer. She looked at her grandfather and nodded faintly, moving her head closer and snuggling close to him. From this position, she could sense her grandfather stiffened a bit.
Probably, he was not used to handling someone as small as her.
She might not be a delicate young girl, but in Old Master Nan’s eyes, she has been and will always be one.
Old Master Nan sighed and patted his granddaughter’s back. He lightly laughed when he sensed her faint breathing and relaxed stance. For him, it was good that Nan Hua could relax in his presence.
If she wanted to act pampered and coquettish, he would always accept it.
This girl… is the granddaughter he loves very much.
Nan Hua stayed in Old Master Nan’s lap for a few moments before moving away and leaped down. She looked into the distance as Steward Tong appeared. He looked rather helpless as he cupped his fist.
“Old Master, Young Miss, there’s a guest.”
“A guest?”
Old Master Nan was stunned. He didn’t think there would be anyone tactless enough to pay a visit to Nan Family Residence when Nan Shu Cheng and the others had just been declared guilty in the afternoon, right?
“Yes.” Steward Tong sighed, then moved sideways.
The two of them could see Feng Ao Kuai walking out from the back. Dressed in his military robe and armor, he looked like he had just come out of the frontline. His expression eased slightly when he saw Nan Hua and Old Master Nan.
“Grandfather, Hua’er.”
“What are you doing here?” Old Master Nan glared at his second grandson. If he didn’t know that Feng Ao Kuai was his grandson, he would have kicked this brat out of his house. Didn’t this brat stay at the frontline for a long period of time?
He was supposed to be at the frontline even now!
What is he doing here at this period of time?
Feng Ao Kuai scratched the back of his head. He looked rather nervous as he tried to calmly said, “I heard about what happened to Nan Family, so I came to check on Hua’er.”
“You come to check on her, huh? By leaving your unit behind, are you asking for a beating? Come here; I’ll beat you up!”
“Grandfather, it’s not like that, ouch….”
Nan Hua watched as Old Master Nan beat up Feng Ao Kuai. For some reason, she felt that her smart cousin got a bad influence from Nan Luo.
