Chapter 103

He Yun and Chu Feng were both speechless; they truly didn't know how to explain to Mrs. Shen and Mr. Shen.

Ze Yan fell silent, and Mrs. Shen grew even more anxious.

What, you're not speaking? He Yun, don't you want to marry Si Yun to Ze Yan?

He Yun hoped Liuli and Ze Yan would be together, but what could she do?

I also want to, how could I not want to...

He Yun said helplessly.

Then why aren't you saying anything?

Si Yun has already married someone.

Ze Yan spoke, and Mrs. Shen and Mr. Shen were stunned instantly.

How could Si Yun have married someone else? Could it be that she forgot the childhood engagement that was arranged earlier?

The most important thing is, what can Ze Yan do? He waited so many years for that person, who now married someone else—how heartbroken he must feel.

Ze Yan is just like that—he says nothing, not even to his parents.

But they naturally feel sorry for Ze Yan—why did Si Yun get married?

Seeing Mrs. Shen and Mr. Shen's reaction, Liuli also didn't know what to say to make them accept it.

Their dejected expressions—she had never seen such a look on Ze Yan's face, but she felt Ze Yan's dejection.

She felt grateful; Ze Yan's feelings for her were her mistake—she had fallen in love with someone else.

How could this be...

Mrs. Shen still hadn't reacted; she had originally been happy that Si Yun would return, but now her mood felt like she had fallen into a valley.

She knew Ze Yan waited every day for Si Yun to return, and she too waited every day for Si Yun to return.

Although she sometimes thought Si Yun would never come back, Ze Yan never gave up waiting for her.

Now Si Yun has finally returned, but Ze Yan can no longer be with her.

Mom, let's go back.

Ze Yan didn't want to continue talking about this topic.

Okay, let's go back.

Mrs. Shen naturally understood Ze Yan's feelings; if they kept talking, he would surely feel worse.

Mr. Shen also kept silent about the matter, although he was also curious.

Si Yun really did marry someone; who she married, he didn't even ask.

He also hoped Ze Yan could let go of Si Yun; since she had already married someone, Ze Yan could go seek his own happiness.

Although the process would be hard, erasing from one's heart someone waited for so many years would be hard, but he also had to do this.

Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen also wouldn't want Ze Yan to spend his life alone.

They knew he couldn't let go of Si Yun, but when they grew old and one day were no longer around, they couldn't stay by Ze Yan's side, and then he would be alone.

Just thinking about this made Mrs. Shen feel awful; she knew Ze Yan's sincere feelings for Si Yun might mean he could only be with Si Yun in this lifetime.

She also worried now, worried that Ze Yan would remain alone and refuse to associate with other girls.

Thus, if one day she really wasn't there, how could she rest easy leaving Ze Yan alone?

Uncle and Aunt, Si Yun, we're going back.

Although Ze Yan felt bad, he still greeted them before leaving.

Ze Yan, come by when you have time.

He Yun said that during the time Si Yun was away, Ze Yan had always accompanied her and Chu Feng, and she truly regarded Ze Yan as her own biological child.

She felt grateful to him and also felt sorry for him; in her and Chu Feng's hearts, he was the only son-in-law.

She believed that she, Chu Feng, Si Yun, and Ze Yan together made a complete family.

Okay.

Ze Yan agreed.

Si Yun, come in.

Seeing Liuli watching Ze Yan and them leave, He Yun shouted and grabbed Liuli's hand.

After entering, Liuli also didn't say a word.

He Yun and Chu Feng sat beside her, keeping her company, waiting for her to speak.

They knew that after Mrs. Shen's comment just now, Liuli would surely blame herself.

Mom, it's my fault for letting Ze Yan down.

After a long while, Liuli spoke.

Child, you didn't mean it; he waited for you so many years, which is touching, but maybe you two just lack fate—don't blame yourself too much.

Liuli rested her head on He Yun's shoulder, listening to her speak.

Gu Die, does he treat you well?

This is what He Yun cares about most.

He treats me quite well.

Child, if anything happens, tell us; if he treats you badly, you must not hide it from us.

He Yun obviously didn't believe Liuli's words that Gu Die treated her quite well.

He really treats me quite well.

He Yun and Chu Feng had heard that Gu Die casually found someone and married them, but they never imagined that person would be Si Yun.

Back then they thought whoever married Gu Die would be terribly unlucky and could never be happy.

But since Liuli said all that, they couldn't really say anything more.

"Over all these years, you've always been living with your grandmother?"

When Ze Yan said Liuli resembled Si Yun, Chu Feng had already sent people to investigate Liuli, so of course he knew her experiences.

"Hmm."

Whenever she mentioned her grandmother, even though she had now found her own family, her heart still felt uneasy.

If her grandmother knew she had found her family, she would surely be happy for her, but she could no longer see.

She wanted to tell her grandmother that her life was good now, but she had not been able to give her grandmother even a single good day; the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

He Yun and Chu Feng are most grateful to Liuli's grandmother, for raising her, which allowed them to see her again.

They also knew that after her grandmother passed away, only Liuli remained, but now they could also stay by her side.

"The first time I saw you, I felt that Si Yun had come back."

Chu Feng sighed, seeing Si Yun's dark-black eyes that resembled He Yun's, and wondered if Si Yun had returned.

But Ze Yan had said that Liuli and Si Yun differed in many ways, and he did not want to raise his hopes too high, for fear of being disappointed again.

"Let's not say more; your return means we did good deeds in our past life."

Chu Feng spoke while looking at He Yun and Liuli; seeing them at night, he felt very happy and reassured.

"It's getting late; rest early."

He Yun said, although she was excited and did not want to sleep, she wanted to keep looking at Liuli and talking to her, but she would not let Liuli stay up all night.

"Okay."

Liuli nodded, saying she herself was not in the mood to sleep; although she was happy to have found her family, Gu Die's lack of trust in her still made her feel uneasy.

"I'll sleep with you tonight."

He Yun laughed.

"Okay."

Liuli also laughed.

Now, looking at He Yun and Chu Feng by her side, calling them Mom and Dad, she really felt it was somewhat unreal.

She did not want to sleep, fearing that upon waking she would discover this was a dream.

Gu Die fell asleep as soon as he got in the car, with Feng Wei and Gu Die sitting in the back seat.

Ju Zi had taken the front passenger seat early, as she did not want to sit with a drunk person.

Although she gave birth to him, she had not raised him, and felt no affection; she thought this was normal.

Adding her selfish nature, she would not care how Gu Die fared.

The only person she cared about was herself.

Feng Wei watched Gu Die drink to that state, wondering why, what could have driven him to drink like that.

Arriving at the Gu Family, Lin Aunt saw Gu Die drunk again and could not help feeling sorry for him.

"Young Master, how did you end up like this again?"

"How would I know? He drank like that outside; if something happened, what would we do?"

Feng Wei directly questioned.

"Miss, I will take good care of the Young Master; thank you for sending him back."

Lin Aunt's words politely carried the tone of asking Feng Wei and Ju Zi to leave.

"Is this how you look after my son? What use are you servants?"

Ju Zi interjected, and Feng Wei thought Ju Zi was ridiculous—now she was calling him her son again?

Rui Tian heard the arguing in the living room, came out to see, knowing that Liuli and Gu Die had not returned, and also heard Feng Wei's voice.

He also wanted to see what Feng Wei had come for.

Seeing Gu Die drink like that, and Liuli not having returned, he thought it might not be because of Liuli that Gu Die drank this way.

"I'm not at ease leaving you to look after me; I'll wait until he sobers up before leaving."

On one hand, Feng Wei wanted to be alone with Gu Die; on the other, she truly could not rest easy, seeing Gu Die drink like that outside with no one to look after him.

"No need, Miss, little—"

"Are you the Young Master's friend? Coincidentally, the Young Mistress is not here; you can look after the Young Master for her."

Lin Aunt was about to make an excuse that Liuli was looking after her, so there was no need to trouble Feng Wei, but Rui Tian spoke up directly.

Lin Aunt glared at Rui Tian directly, thinking he was only making trouble.

Feng Wei grasped Rui Tian's meaning; he was telling her that Chu Liuli was not present, so she had the chance.

"Okay, then first help me take him back to his room."

Feng Wei gestured.

"All right, Miss."

Rui Tian did not want to get close to Gu Die unless absolutely necessary, and he would not carry him upstairs.

Lin Aunt saw that she could not stop him, and Rui Tian acted as if he knew nothing, turning his elbow outward; she hurriedly called Liuli.

"Young Mistress..."

Lin Aunt had just gotten through when Ju Zi overheard, snatched the phone, and hung up.

Lin Aunt forgot there was still an annoying woman present.

"You were calling the Young Mistress? No need, someone is looking after him; you don't have to worry."

Lin Aunt did not want to say anything; she could only wait for Gu Die to sober up, otherwise she would have no authority either.

She knew this was her birth mother; despite several confrontations, Gu Die had never done anything to her, and she could see it was because he still remembered she was his birth mother.

"What's wrong with your Young Master? Drunk like this?"

"You can wait until the Young Master wakes up and ask him yourself."

Lín āyí spoke, she heard that in Ju Zi's tone there was no concern for Gu Die, on the contrary it seemed very indifferent, she also had no need to speak politely to her.

How are you acting as a subordinate? Once I become Mrs. Gù, the first thing I'll do is kick you out.

Ju Zi's tone of speaking was just like she really could become Mrs. Gù, Lín āyí still had confidence, how could Gu Die possibly let someone like her become Mrs. Gù?
