Chapter 72 Wen Ting 2

Chen Baoping looked at her with concern and sighed, "Actually, he's very good in every way, it's just that he's a bit old. It's a pity you two missed each other. Your uncle is also incompetent, he's been looking for so long and still hasn't found him, all of Shushu's hard work has been for nothing."

"According to your aunt, since your fiancé hasn't shown up for so long, maybe he's not in the city or county, maybe... maybe he's gone! In any case, he didn't show up when you needed him the most, so he doesn't need to show up anymore. Let's just pretend he's gone!"

Yun Wangshu wholeheartedly agreed with her: "Okay, I'll just pretend he's gone."

If it never existed, it's as good as non-existent.

Chen Baoping particularly admired the girl's calm temperament. Although such a person may be a bit aloof, they don't get stuck on things and can think things through easily, which is why they are able to live a good life.

In the afternoon, Yun Wangshu rode in Wen Ting's car to the county town and saw the house that Yun Feifan had bought. It was a small courtyard house, very suitable for one person to live in.

Yun Wangshu looked around inside and out. Although the courtyard was covered in dust, it was clear that someone had once carefully arranged it, digging a well, buying a water tank, and planting fruit trees, so that the people living there could have lived very comfortably.

Wen Ting became silent as soon as he entered the courtyard. He seemed to really value his friend Yun Feifan. Yun Feifan's death had hit him hard, so much so that anything related to his deceased friend could make him feel depressed.

"I'm sorry, Shushu, after your father sacrificed his life, I never had the courage to come here, and it has been left to gather dust."

Yun Wangshu couldn't empathize with his pain. This trip to the Northeast added to her regrets. If Yun Feifan were still alive, many people would be much happier than they are now.

"It's alright, Uncle Wen has done a very good job."

The news of Yun Feifan's sacrifice was brought back to Shanghai by him and his troops. Unfortunately, Yun Feisheng was paranoid at the time, distrusted everyone, refused money and valuables, and did not allow anyone to contact Yun Shu.

Wen Ting forced a bitter smile. Such words could not comfort him. He only learned after capturing Huang Weiguang that Yun Feifan's death was due to Huang Weiguang's involvement. If it weren't for Huang Weiguang, he wouldn't have been targeted by those spies.

Regret and guilt almost overwhelmed him. He wanted to make amends, but the person he was supposed to make amends to was no longer there. The once-great Yun family was now reduced to just one person. What was he supposed to do?

The immense pain made Wen Ting's breathing rapid. Not wanting to bother the girl beside him, he tried his best to find topics to talk about.

“The tree in the yard was planted by someone I asked. Your father originally wanted to plant flowers, saying you liked them, but I didn’t think it was appropriate. It would cause unnecessary trouble if others saw it. Fruit trees are good; when they bear fruit, we can all eat them…”

"I heard you found a job in Shanghai? I found you a few jobs, and I was planning to let you pick one you liked when you came here, but now you don't need them."

"Your letter of introduction will be valid for a few more days, right? You can stay here too. Everything is provided. Your father also has another house where his three adopted children, your older brother and sister, currently live. Don't mind them; they respect your father very much, and they are looking forward to your arrival..."

Yun Wangshu didn't interrupt him, and listened quietly to him rambling on for a long time. When he finally couldn't talk anymore, she responded softly, "I know, Uncle Wen, thank you."

Wen Ting choked up. He wanted to hug the girl in front of him and tell her that he could be her father, that he could love and pamper her like Yun Feifan did, and that she would be very happy, just like before.

But he didn't do that in the end. He just gently patted her head and tried to smile as he said, "If you need anything in the future, remember to come find Uncle Wen."

His emotions should not be imposed on others.
