Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue frowned and shook her head.
"Why?"
When Dongfang Yi saw Jian Yixue shake her head, he immediately asked in confusion.
"Now that the enemy is in the dark while I am in the light, I should avoid any contact with the Dongfang family to prevent trouble."
Moreover, it cannot be confirmed at present that I am of the Dongfang family bloodline. We should wait for the test results before making any decisions.
The reason I decided to come see you this time is because I'm encountering some problems in my investigation of my mother's affairs, which has led to a standstill.
I overheard Mo Han mentioning you and the Dongfang family, and thinking I might find some useful clues, I came to learn more.
After listening, Dongfang Yi frowned, pondered for a while, and then decided to speak.
"You are definitely my aunt's bloodline. You look exactly like her, there's no mistake!"
The reason for conducting the appraisal is to convince the rest of the Dongfang family, and this does not affect my and my grandfather's approval of you in the slightest.
If Grandpa saw you, he would definitely recognize you at a glance, after all, Aunt is Grandpa's most beloved daughter.
I agree with what you're considering. But we can go secretly, just to see Grandpa for a moment.
You don't know, but since Auntie disappeared, Grandpa and Grandma have been living separately.
Grandma blamed Grandpa for not searching for Aunt's traces carefully, and no matter how Grandpa explained, Grandma wouldn't listen.
She left only one sentence: she would forgive her grandfather whenever her aunt returned.
Over the years, Grandma has lived alone in her family's Buddhist shrine, never venturing out easily and not allowing Grandpa to visit her.
Cousin Yixue, please go and visit Grandpa for your aunt's sake, okay?
Grandpa has had a very difficult time these past few years, and his health hasn't been very good either.
"Not feeling well? How could that be..."
Jian Yixue, who originally wanted to refuse, was puzzled when she heard Dongfang Yi mention that the old man's health was also not good.
The Dongfang family is a reclusive family. Although they may mainly operate in the auction market now, they started from scratch with medical skills a thousand years ago.
Even though the family is no longer as glorious as it once was, it doesn't mean that the entire Dongfang family lacks talented medical professionals.
That's why she was curious about why the old man had suddenly acted this way.
Dongfang Yi nodded, a sad expression appearing on his face. "That's a heartache."
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue immediately understood what Dongfang Yi meant.
It must be because of the mother's disappearance.
Immediately afterwards, Dongfang Yi's words confirmed Jian Yixue's conjecture.
"My aunt's disappearance and my grandmother's lack of understanding indirectly caused my grandfather a great psychological burden."
Even the most skilled doctor in the family was helpless when faced with Grandpa's illness.
"Perhaps, if you go see Grandpa, he will feel better, and maybe his mental illness will also be relieved."
Ye Mohan remained silent throughout.
In his view, this was Jian Yixue's private matter, and he would not interfere but only respect her decision.
In contrast, Jian Yixue fell into deep thought after listening to Dongfang Yi's words.
She believed that Dongfang Yi was telling the truth and understood the old man's condition, but she couldn't be sure that going to the hospital would really make the old man better.
After all, her mother's fate is currently unknown.
If she goes, what should she say if the old man asks about her mother?
To be honest, she was afraid that the old man wouldn't be able to accept it, which would worsen his condition.
This is not what she wanted to see either.
If she didn't tell the truth, how could she explain why her mother hadn't come?
Jian Yixue thought for a moment, then looked at Dongfang Yi and said, "Let's wait. I'll go see the old man when the time is right."
Seeing that Jian Yixue refused, Dongfang Yi's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, but he didn't say anything more.
"Okay, contact me anytime you want to go."
Then, as if remembering something, he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Jian Yixue.
"Here is my contact information. Call me anytime you want to go. As long as I'm in Lancheng, I'll take you to see Grandpa immediately."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "I should be in Lancheng during this period."
The implication was that he was waiting for Jian Yixue to change her mind at any time.
Jian Yixue naturally understood what Dongfang Yi meant, but she didn't point it out; she just nodded.
...
The Eastern Family.
Ancient-style buildings are nestled in an orderly fashion in the dense forest, with small bridges, flowing water, and wooden corridors, all of which highlight the extraordinary nature of this place.
This is the cultural heritage of the oldest family in the East.
Although I have been away from my hometown for many years, the culture passed down from my ancestors is deeply ingrained in my bones.
Among these ancient buildings, a stunningly beautiful lakeside pavilion stands on the surface of a turquoise lake.
Normally, hardly anyone comes here; this is a forbidden area set up by Old Master Dongfang.
Everyone is very conscious of not coming over, except for the usual cleaning duties.
Usually, only the old man comes here to stroll around, reminiscing about the happy times of the past and mourning his missing daughter.
Standing on the connecting corridor to the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Dongfang Yi looked at his grandfather sitting in the pavilion and felt very worried and sad.
Aside from work, this is where Grandpa spends the most time.
This is my aunt's favorite place, and it was built by my grandfather for her.
Aunt left behind many memories for them here.
Over the years, Grandpa has handed over most of the family affairs to him.
Therefore, Grandpa would spend a lot of time in the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Since returning from meeting with Jian Yixue, Dongfang Yi has been absent-minded, except for arranging things for his aunt.
When it comes to work, they have absolutely no energy left and their minds are always wandering.
His mind was in such a state that he couldn't be sure he could work well.
Finally, having no other option, he had to go out for a walk to clear his head.
Before I knew it, I had arrived here.
Dongfang Yi looked at his grandfather in the lakeside pavilion, thought for a moment, and then walked over.
Hearing the noise, Grandpa knew without turning his head that Dongfang Yi had arrived.
"Yi'er, you've come."
Dongfang Yi looked at his grandfather, who was intently feeding the fish, and nodded respectfully.
"grandfather."
"Hmm. Is something not going well at work? Are those old men giving you trouble again?" Old Master Dongfang asked.
His eldest grandson is very sensible and capable, but those old men...
Old Master Dongfang gets a headache just thinking about that group of old fogies.
He can choose his own successor; what does it have to do with them? They're always dissatisfied with his choice.
In recent years, since his eldest grandson took over, his personal abilities have silenced many of those old fogies.
But sometimes they still deliberately cause trouble.
His eldest grandson is quite polite and always tries to be tolerant of his elders.
But he didn't want to see his precious grandson being bullied.
