Chapter 249 Hysteria, it's been over ten years
In Y Country's Ster Town, Fang Ke and Yes got off the short-distance bus one after the other.
After leaving the airport, the two first took a train to Winchester, then changed trains two or three times, finally arriving in Hampshire, a county known for its country estates and golf courses.
Fang Ke switched from a backpack to a suitcase, and dressed much more elegantly. She had dressed up specially today, looking beautiful and poised, quite different from her usual outgoing style. She appeared much more intellectual and reserved.
After all, it was on the way to meet my parents, so I was a little nervous.
Although she didn't say it, Yes saw it and held her hand, saying, "Don't be nervous, they will definitely like you."
Fang Ke puffed out her cheeks. "If I take you to meet Fang's parents, will you be nervous?"
Yes gave a short laugh. "Maybe."
As they walked through the town of St. St., time seemed to slow down.
The town has complete facilities, including various large supermarkets, shopping malls, schools, hospitals, etc. Fang Ke took a look around and found that the scenery here is really amazing. The coastline is only ten kilometers away, the air is fresh, and there are beautiful views everywhere.
She felt that Yes's parents had a good eye for location; this place was perfect for retirement.
After walking for a while, the two saw a car slowly approaching and stopping by the roadside. Ye Si suddenly stopped and frowned slightly.
An elderly man with silver hair, walking with a slight tremor, stepped out of the car. He had a smile on his face and was dressed in a very gentlemanly manner. Upon seeing Yes, he bowed slightly and said, "Young Master, you're back."
Yes's expression changed, and he immediately went up to help him up. "Uncle An, why are you here... Don't overexert yourself."
Uncle An laughed, "I've been recuperating for long enough, and I've fully recovered. I can go out to buy groceries and shop at the mall all by myself now. Your Aunt Yun doesn't care about me anymore! I only found out you were arriving this afternoon from her, so I drove out to try my luck. Who would have thought I'd actually run into you? Isn't that amazing, young master!"
Yes's eyes were filled with complex emotions. He nodded, supporting him, and said, "...Yes."
Uncle An then looked at the graceful woman standing beside him, a hint of surprise in his cloudy eyes, "And who is this?"
Ye Si took Fang Ke's hand, and before he could speak, Uncle An was already a little teary-eyed. "Young Master, after all these years, you've finally brought people back. If Master and Madam knew, they would be overjoyed."
Yes's expression seemed even more complicated, and he chuckled softly, "Hmm."
Uncle An looked at Fang Ke with a kind and curious expression. Fang Ke took his hand and said, "Hello, Uncle. My name is Fang Ke. I am Senior Ye's junior."
"Hello, hello... Miss Fang, you and the young master go to the same school? What a coincidence!"
She was beautiful, highly educated, and very polite. After just one meeting, Uncle An already had a very good impression of the partner that Yes had personally chosen.
"Alright, let's go home first. Your Aunt Yun might be getting impatient... and the Master and Madam... Oh, right, young master, your luggage."
Yes refused, "I'll do it myself, Uncle An. Give me the car keys, I'll drive it in a bit. You should rest first."
Fang Jian saw that Uncle An hesitated for a long time while holding the car keys, seemingly reluctant to give them to him, before finally handing them over with reluctance.
He couldn't help but look at Yes with a puzzled expression.
The man didn't say anything, his face remained indifferent. He opened the trunk and put both of their luggage in.
After closing the door, Yes helped Uncle An to the back seat.
Then he pinched Fang Ke's waist, "What are you standing there for? Why are you so quiet today?"
Yes laughed and said, "Come sit in the front."
Fang Ke glared at him. "Don't tell me your whole family is waiting for me. I'll be embarrassed when I get there. I didn't bring much as a gift this time. I'm doomed... Why aren't you saying anything? I'm asking you a question, young master?"
Yes pressed down her mischievous hand. "Don't shout. Don't worry, there are only a few people left in the house now, so I definitely won't make you feel uncomfortable."
Fang Ke got into the car with him. Ye Si drove the car smoothly all the way, while Uncle An sat in the back and chatted with Fang Ke about all sorts of things, asking her many questions, including about the current situation in China. Fang Ke was amazed by his knowledge and energy and patiently answered all her questions.
When the car entered a vast, magnificent estate surrounded by tranquil scenery, Uncle An said with a smile, "We've arrived."
Standing in the courtyard was another woman with half black and half white hair, who looked to be in her fifties, but was extremely energetic and capable.
This must be Aunt Yun. She came over as soon as she saw their car stop.
"Butler An, tell me why you ran off again? What if you get lost? Are we supposed to call the police again?"
Aunt Yun was surprised to find that two other people got out of the car.
Upon seeing Ye Si standing tall and handsome, his appearance still striking but with an even more mature air, Aunt Yun almost immediately covered her mouth, exclaiming excitedly, "Young Master, why are you back?"
Yes was a little surprised. He looked at Aunt Yun, then at Uncle An, "I left you a recording of the phone call, thinking you knew about Aunt Yun..."
"I've been too busy these past few days. That phone hasn't rung in six months, so I haven't been checking it every day and missed it."
Yes said it was alright, but he and Fang Ke exchanged a puzzled look. When Uncle An came to pick them up earlier, he clearly said that Aunt Yun had told him.
They all suppressed their doubts and followed Aunt Yun and Uncle An into the house. As soon as they entered, Uncle An was forcibly taken away by several slightly younger servants.
He was still happy before he left, constantly saying things like, "The young master is finally getting married, and the master and mistress can finally hold their grandson."
Aunt Yun shook her head and said apologetically to Fang Ke, "Miss Fang, I'm sorry you had to see this."
Fang Ke waved her hand and said she was fine, but kept a close eye on Uncle An's direction and couldn't help but ask, "Uncle An, what's wrong?"
Aunt Yun smiled bitterly, "Hysteria, it's been going on for over ten years. It happens all the time, and now it's getting more and more frequent."
Fang Ke: "...Huh? But Uncle said he's much better now, he can even go grocery shopping and go to the mall, and he even drove today..."
"What good is all that? It's just nonsense. His madness is different from other people's madness. Sometimes he does seem like a normal person, but once you start talking to him, you can tell he's still not in his right mind."
I don't know what I told you, but you keep telling us things from over a decade ago. I'm getting tired of it, and everyone in this manor is probably sick of hearing it.
Yes said in a deep voice, "I'll call the doctor to take another look."
Aunt Yun shook her head. "Stop calling him that. He's so old. Young Master, you've hired many famous doctors for him before, but none of them worked. I think he'd rather live in his delusions than accept reality."
"..."
Aunt Yun sighed repeatedly, then quickly told the two of them to put down their luggage, notified the kitchen to prepare the food, and then had someone tidy up the room for Yes and Fang.
