"Do you really want me to see her?"

After a long while, Lin Jianglai finally asked this question.

This guy left the old lady completely baffled.

Hearing this, anyone who didn't know better would think that the daughter was born to her alone and had nothing to do with the old man in front of her!

They are biological father and daughter!

Lin Jianglai turned his head to look at his wife, his heart softening slightly: "If you insist on letting me see her, then I will."

He didn't want his wife to have any complaints about him at the last moment of his life.

He's about to die, so let's do as his wife wishes.

The old lady opened her mouth several times before asking, "You are father and daughter. Even if you had a falling out before, it's been more than 20 years. Don't you really want to see your daughter at all?"

The old lady really didn't understand.

What happened back then wasn't a big deal; it was just that the old man's stubborn personality caused things to get out of control.

And so many years have passed.

Your daughter is already someone else's grandmother, how can you still not let go of her?

Are we really going to carry those unspeakable grudges to our graves?

"To be honest, I don't want to. But I don't want to upset you. If you're willing, then I'll see you." The old man said coldly.

Back then, that brat ignored his advice and insisted on marrying Chi Yongcai!

No matter what he said, it was no use; they didn't care about him at all!

And if she hadn't insisted on leaving home, how could this have happened...?

Thinking about those things made Lin Jiang feel choked up.

"What's going on with you? Explain yourself. Even if your daughter married Chi Yongcai, whom you don't like, more than twenty years have passed. You can't possibly be holding a grudge over something like this for so many years, can you?"

He didn't even want to see his daughter again until he died!

Lin Jianglai stuck out his tongue and licked his chapped lips. Some words were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back in the end.

never mind.

Some things are better left unsaid in the end.

What he didn't expect was that some things wouldn't go as he planned.

Some things that are hidden from the light of day will eventually be unearthed!

-

Inn.

Originally, Mr. Chi planned to wait until his daughter-in-law woke up before calling her to eat.

Who knew that an uninvited guest would arrive?

"Uncle, I am Yang Yi, the second son of my father. I have been sent by my father to investigate my aunt's background."

He was clearly a handsome young man, yet he was so upright and serious that he looked ten years older.

Yang Yi is Lord Yang's second son, and the one who is most like Lord Yang, but even more serious and unsmiling than Lord Yang.

He passed the imperial examinations on his own merits and became a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations). Later, he was sent to the capital to serve as an official for six years.

Last year, due to his outstanding political achievements, he was transferred to Mingyang City Government as an official.

Coincidentally, Tanghai County, where the Lin Family Escort Agency is located, is right next to Mingyang City, which is why Lord Yang sent a letter to his second son, Yang Yi, asking him to investigate.

As luck would have it, the results came out today.

Old Man Chi was somewhat bewildered.

Chi Tang asked in her childish voice, "Did you find out something terrible?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Yi looked down at the toddler who was only up to his calf, and his gaze softened slightly.

Even though he rarely took care of children, he knew that a child of this age could not possibly speak so clearly and logically, like an adult!

"you!"

Shouldn't a child this age be able to utter a few words at a time?

Even if someone could speak a complete sentence, it would be impossible for them to pronounce words so clearly.

Moreover, the content and tone of his speech clearly indicate that he is an adult!

"ah……"

Old Man Chi belatedly hid Chi Tang behind his back and awkwardly changed the subject: "Ah, how did you know we were here?"

This child!

I've said it so many times!

Don't show any unusual side of yourself in front of outsiders!

Why won't they listen no matter what?

Thank goodness, it's the Yang family.

In fact, Chi Tang sensed that Yang Yi was a good person and wouldn't hurt her, which is why she acted this way.

This feeling is particularly mysterious, but Chi Tang simply believes in it.

"Yes, I've had people keeping an eye on the Lin Family Escort Agency. I think there are some things that you and Aunt should know. About... what happened forty years ago."

Yang Yi naturally knew that Old Man Chi was changing the subject, but he didn't care and didn't want to delve into it.

It has now been confirmed that the Chi family is the aunt's family, so this little baby is his niece.

"Forty years ago?"

Old Man Chi was stunned for a moment.

Forty years ago, that was about the wife's background.

Judging from Yang Yi's expression, it's certain that his wife is the eldest daughter of the Yang family.

Thinking of this, Old Man Chi no longer hesitated and took Yang Yi upstairs to call Aunt Chi.

Yang Yi stood at the door waiting, behaving very respectfully.

He only came in after Aunt Chi woke up, learned what had happened, and called for him.

However, when they came in, they were carrying congee and side dishes.

"Auntie, have something to eat first, there's no rush." ​​Yang Yi spoke in a distinctive way.

No matter what mood they're in, the words they say always stay on the same emotional level, without any fluctuation.

It's like handling business in a businesslike manner; such an attitude inevitably makes people feel distant.

However, Aunt Chi didn't think much of it. They were strangers to begin with, so it was normal for them to drift apart.

"You go first."

Aunt Chi still really wanted to know what had happened.

Yang Yi insisted, "You eat first. I'm worried you won't be able to eat after hearing this."

Aunt Chi: ...

After you've said that, do you think I can still eat it?

"Mom, please eat a little something, okay? Have you forgotten? The doctor said you need to take good care of yourself."

Chi Tang pretended to be panicked.

Seeing her daughter's frightened eyes, Aunt Chi gave in, got out of bed, and reluctantly ate a small bowl of porridge.

They didn't touch a single dish.

However, everyone could see that Aunt Chi was already forcing herself to eat, and if she ate any more, she probably wouldn't be able to eat even a tiny bit more.

Although Yang Yi looks rigid and serious, he is actually not a rigid or stubborn person.

His eyes flickered, and then he began to speak slowly.

“Aunt, you are Grandmother’s biological daughter. After you were abducted, the traffickers didn’t know your identity at first. Later, when they found out, they were afraid of retaliation and didn’t dare to send you back, so they abandoned you.”

Coincidentally, Lin Jianglai's wife gave birth to a daughter who died when she was one year old. When Lin Jianglai went to bury his daughter, he happened to see you abandoned.

Aunt Chi suddenly interrupted, "That's not right. The child is already one year old. Even if the child looks somewhat alike, a mother can't possibly mistake a child who is one year old!"

She's had many children herself, how could she not know these things?

Yang Yi explained, "Because Lin Jiang didn't take you home directly; instead, he took you to..."?
