Chapter 165 The Past...



Afterwards, the newly established nation was in its early stages, and everything was in need of rebuilding.

Gong Changbai, who was already in a high position at the age of thirty, received a letter from the American royal family, informing him that his kind but serious grandfather would soon pass away.

The usually tough and resilient man shed tears...

He knew that his grandfather was determined to see the reunification of the motherland...

Now that the nation is largely stable and the old man's long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, naturally...

On November 3, 1949, Gong Zhiming, the 498th patriarch of the Gong clan, passed away at 1:00 a.m. at the Gong Clan Moonlight Garden in America at the age of 102.

In the end, Gong Changbai did not get to see his grandfather one last time, and he wept uncontrollably while holding the grandfather's urn.

In January of the following year, the Gong family held a grand family meeting...

Ultimately, it was decided that Gong Changsong would officially succeed as the 500th patriarch of the Gong clan, and he would stay in America with his wife and young son, Gong Shaoyan, to manage the affairs of the Gong clan in America.

The retired Gong Yanzhi and Gong Changbai, along with their remaining direct descendants and the ashes of the old man Gong, embarked on their journey back to China.

People are attached to their homeland and want to be buried in their native soil.

The Gong family has always been descendants of Yan and Huang, and one day they will return to their homeland...

Gong Changsong's decision to remain in the United States was out of necessity...

But no matter what...

The direct line of the Gong family was thus divided into two branches, each residing in the east and west respectively, but the Gong family precepts remained in everyone's hearts.

There's nothing I've forgotten over the years...

Gong Ning's grandfather was Gong Changsong's son, Gong Shaoyan, and Gong Changbai's son, Gong Shaozhen, was her great-uncle.

Now, both Mr. Gong Changsong and Mr. Gong Changbai have passed away.

In the Gong family genealogy, their significant contributions are only briefly mentioned in a few strokes.

The stories and imprints of their era have gradually faded into the past with their passing.

But if you savor this long and poignant story imbued with patriotism, it's like sipping a fine, aged wine—pure, mellow, and with an endless aftertaste...

In the past, there have been countless sentiments and steadfast commitments that have stood the test of time...

Patriotism and love for one's country, a legacy to be upheld...

It was hard-won and extremely precious...

The inheritance and development of a family lies not only in the length of its existence, but also in its unique family heirlooms and its rich family genealogy spanning hundreds of years...

Having grown up immersed in this rich and profound scholarly atmosphere, Gong Ning knows a great deal about it and is well aware of the hardships involved!

It's precisely because I understand everything...

So, after learning in his previous life that he had destroyed the palace clan...

That overwhelming regret and guilt almost drove her to madness and overwhelmed everything.

This is also the fundamental reason why she has never dared to face the Gong family...

A reckless fire destroyed not only the lives of the entire Gong family...

She passed down a tradition unique to the Gong family for hundreds of years...

It was completely ruined...

...

The job fair at Liangda University ended amidst the astonished gazes and sighs of dismay of the crowd.

This was definitely the most dramatic and eventful closing ceremony for the job fair since Liangshan University was established...

Leaving aside the envious and shocked looks from numerous teachers and students, and the continuous explosions on the Liangda University forum...

At this moment, in the corner café of Liangda Street, Gong Ning held Yan Jingzhou's long, fair hand and nestled close to him.

Sitting opposite her, Ji Qingmeng took a sip of Blue Mountain coffee, her lips and teeth instantly filled with its rich aroma.

Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee possesses all the characteristics of a good coffee. Its sweetness, acidity, and bitterness are perfectly balanced, with a barely perceptible bitterness and a moderate and perfect acidity, making it one of the most expensive coffees in the world.

However, none of these elegant qualities were the reason Ji Qingmeng loved Blue Mountain coffee; it was simply because Gong Qiaoyu had ground coffee by hand for the first time in his life, using Blue Mountain beans...

To grind such a fine variety of coffee beans into something that tastes so awful...

He was the only one...
