Chapter 1686: I Trust Ningning
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“We can prove it by your handwriting. There are many of your notes in your and Shaoting’s father’s room. You can write down several characters and Grandpa Leng is a calligraphy expert. He’ll know whether you’re the same person,” said Gu Ning.
“Great.” Jing Yunyao nodded.
“If they still don’t believe it, then forget it. It’s enough as long as Shaoting trusts you,” said Gu Ning. Because she respected them, she was willing to prove it, but she wouldn’t beg them to trust her if they still refused to believe it. They couldn’t tell them that Yunyao was a cultivator after all!
…
After Gu Ning got out of the car, Leng Yuanzhen called Master Leng without delay. For the convenience of driving, Leng Yuanzhen used Bluetooth earphones.
“How is it? Have you made any discoveries?” Master Leng asked in a hurry once he received Leng Yuanzhen’s call.
“I discovered that the woman went outside with Gu Ning, so I followed them, but Gu Ning saw me,” said Leng Yuanzhen.
“What? You were exposed? And then?” asked Master Leng. He wasn’t surprised that Gu Ning caught him, but he was curious about what happened next. Would Gu Ning be mad?
Because he believed that Gu Ning wouldn’t hurt Leng Shaoting or the Leng family, his first reaction wasn’t to ask Leng Yuanzhen what they had done, instead he cared more about whether Gu Ning would be annoyed.
“We had a talk, and Gu Ning told me that the woman is Yuanhan’s wife, Yunyao. Gu Ning said that she has already confirmed it, but the woman lost her memories and Gu Ning is helping her get them back,” said Leng Yuanzhen. “I’m not so suspicious of the woman anymore, but I still can’t believe that she’s really Yunyao. I know Gu Ning won’t hurt Shaoting, or the Leng family, and she proposed to prove it using the woman’s handwriting. Father, you know a lot about calligraphy, so you can see whether the woman and Yunyao are really the same person later.”
Hearing that, Master Leng got excited. “I trust Ningning. I trust her. The woman could really be Yunyao!”
Master Leng had spent a lot more time with Gu Ning than Leng Yuanzhen did, so he understood Gu Ning better. Since Gu Ning had confirmed it, he believed that it was close to the mark.
If it wasn’t real, Gu Ning wouldn’t propose to prove it using her handwriting.
Although he knew that handwriting could be imitated and faked, it could only fool ordinary people; it was impossible to fool him. He had liked and studied calligraphy and painting for decades after all.
Leng Yuanzhen opened his mouth. He wanted to tell Master Leng not to be so excited at such an early stage, or he would be greatly disappointed if the result wasn’t what he wanted. However, Leng Yuanzhen didn’t say it aloud in the end, because he believed it a little. If the woman was really Yunyao, Master Leng wouldn’t be happy if he told him not to be so excited right now. It might make Master Leng misunderstand him, and think that he didn’t want Yunyao to come back.
Anyway, Master Leng was full of excitement at this moment.
“Now we should get the paper, ink, brush, and inkstone prepared. We’ll arrive in about 40 minutes,” said Leng Yuanzhen.
“Sure!” said Master Leng and hung up the call, then left to prepare paper, ink, a brush, and an inkstone.
Even though he trusted Gu Ning, Leng Yuanzhen’s words also made sense. It was possible that the woman had successfully deceived Gu Ning into believing that she was Yunyao. Besides, she lost her memories.
One must know his or her enemies well in order to win a battle. If the woman aimed to hurt the Leng family, she had to be well-prepared beforehand. Therefore, whether she was really Yunyao or not, they had to make sure of it before they accepted her.
Master Leng loved calligraphy and paintings. Not only was he a lover of them, but he also liked writing and painting himself, so there was paper, ink, brushes, and inkstones of high quality in his study. The inkstone was even an antique.
Within a short while, Master Leng prepared everything they needed, but he still needed to wait for a long time. At the same time, he suddenly wondered whether Shaoting was aware that Yunyao might not be dead.
Thinking of that, Master Leng took out his phone at once and wanted to call Leng Yuanzhen again, but he put it down later when he remembered that Leng Yuanzhen was driving. Afterwards, he walked out of his study.
In the living room, Yu Yin, Leng Shaoxun, and Leng Shaoxi were still there. Leng Shaoxun and Leng Shaoxi were playing Battle in the Sky. When they saw the excited expression on Master Leng’s face, they thought that Leng Yuanzhen might have shared good news with him.
The idea that the woman might really be Yunyao dawned on Yu Yin. She ached to ask Master Leng that question, but she had to control herself because Leng Shaoxun and Leng Shaoxi were there.
“Shaoxun, Shaoxi, you two can go upstairs now,” said Yu Yin to Leng Shaoxun and Leng Shaoxi.
“Why?” Leng Shaoxun didn’t understand.
Before Yu Yin could say anything, Master Leng opened his mouth. “We’ll have guests in a while, so you should go upstairs now.”
They didn’t want Leng Shaoxun and Leng Shaoxi to know about Yunyao right now, in case they told other people.
“Fine!”
Hearing that, Leng Shaoxun and Leng Shaoxi knew there had to be important guests coming today, and it would be inconvenient if they stayed in the living room, so they went upstairs.
Although they were curious to know what guests would come this late at night, they didn’t dare to ask questions about it. The Leng family wasn’t an ordinary family, and the guests must be very important since they came at night.
After Leng Shaoxun and Leng Shaoxi went upstairs, Yu Yin asked Master Leng, “Father, you look excited. Do you have any good news?”
Master Leng then told Yu Yin what Leng Yuanzhen had said to him on the phone. After hearing that, Yu Yin had the same reaction as Master Leng. She also chose to trust Gu Ning and believed that the woman could be really Yunyao.
“If she’s really Yunyao, that’ll be the best,” said Yu Yin, but she looked upset the next second. “If she’s Yunyao, who was the woman who died together with Yuanhan? Why did Yunyao disappear all of a sudden after Yuanhan’s death? She even lost her memories.”
Yu Yin had to admit that she had the suspicion that Yunyao might have something to do with Leng Yuanhan’s death. If Yunyao survived and Leng Yuanhan died, it was possible that Leng Yuanhan died because of her.
Master Leng was displeased as well. It was obvious that he had the same suspicion as Yu Yin. However, it was hard for him to believe it, because Yunyao and Leng Yuanhan were deeply in love back then.
Chapter 1687: Exactly the Same
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“It’s obvious that Yunyao has also suffered a lot that year, or she wouldn’t lose her memories all of a sudden,” said Master Leng, defending Yunyao.
Yu Yin only had the suspicion for a short while, and she still chose to believe that Yunyao wouldn’t hurt Leng Yuanhan. After all, they had lived together for years, and she knew what kind of person Yunyao was. Although many people were wearing a mask on their faces and it was hard to truly know a person from their appearance, it didn’t mean that everyone loved disguising.
Because Master Leng was restless during the wait, he directly walked out of the door.
“Master Leng, what’s wrong?” Leng Changzhi noticed his unusual behavior and asked with concern.
It wasn’t something that they couldn’t tell Leng Changzhi, so Master Leng shared the news with him and Leng Changzhi was leaving him shocked too.
However, he had the same reaction as Leng Yuanzhen. Although he thought that it was possible that the woman could be Yunyao, he was suspicious of her. However, he noticed that Master Leng almost accepted it, so he said nothing and waited to see the result.
During this time, Master Leng told Yu Yin to find Yunyao’s notes for him from Leng Yuanhan’s study.
Master Leng anxiously walked in and out. When it was almost the appointed time, he went straight to wait at the gate, followed by Yu Yin and Leng Changzhi.
Finally, Leng Yuanzhen’s car drove.
A while later, they saw another car behind it, and they knew that it must be Gu Ning’s car, which meant that Gu Ning and Yunyao came too. All of a sudden, they got nervous. They hoped that she was really Yunyao, but was also worried that she might not be Yunyao.
Actually, no one was more nervous than Yunyao. She wasn’t afraid that she might not be able to prove her identity, but she felt a little timid when she was about to have a family reunion.
She had met Master Leng a few days ago, but her face was covered back then, and Master Leng didn’t know who she was. Now, however, they would meet face to face.
Gu Ning didn’t know how to comfort her about that, so she said nothing.
The car stopped before the gate. Leng Yuanzhen got out of it and gave the car key to a security guard, who would drive the car to the parking garage.
Gu Ning’s car was stopped right outside the gate, and she got out of it with Jing Yunyao too.
Even though everyone was mentally-prepared, they were still amazed when they saw Jing Yunyao in the flesh. They felt the strong familiarity from Yunyao, and only those who were really familiar with them could give them that feeling.
“Hi, Grandpa Leng, Uncle Changzhi, and Aunt Yin.” Gu Ning greeted them.
“Nice to see you, Master Leng.” Jing Yunyao also politely greeted Master Leng, but she didn’t know how to call the other two people, so she simply nodded at them.
Once Master Leng heard her voice, he said with surprise, “A-Are you the woman who came with Ningning the other day?”
Although he asked that question, he already had the answer, and Master Leng was more sure that she was Yunyao, because he already felt that she looked familiar when her face was covered. If they weren’t close family members, they wouldn’t have that familiarity towards each other.
As for now, the familiarity became strong and real. People’s appearances might lie, but the feelings couldn’t.
Leng Changzhi also recognized Jing Yunyao when he heard her voice, and he began to believe that she could really be Yunyao.
At the same time, Master Leng and Leng Changzhi thought that they probably came the other day not for books but for something else. Nevertheless, they didn’t think that they had an evil purpose, because Yunyao lost her memories and Gu Ning was helping her get them back by taking her to familiar places.
Yu Yin and Leng Yuanzhen were surprised when they heard that Gu Ning and Yunyao had visited the Leng family a few days ago, but it wasn’t the right time to ask about that right now.
“Yes,” said Jing Yunyao.
“Come on in!” Master Leng welcomed them without delay. He couldn’t wait to make sure whether this woman in front of his eyes was really Yunyao.
Even though he was quite sure that she could really be Yunyao after he saw her face, he still wanted to confirm it.
Afterwards, they went inside and followed Master Leng to his study.
“Please don’t mind,” said Master Leng with slight embarrassment. They needed to confirm it but it was also a little disrespectful.
“Of course not.” Jing Yunyao didn’t mind it at all, then went to the table and began to write with the ink brush.
Master Leng and Yunyao had talked about calligraphy with each other before, and Master Leng had watched her writing many times. Therefore, he was very familiar with the way Yunyao used the ink brush, the posture when she wrote, and her handwriting.
When Jing Yunyao wrote down on the paper right now, she looked exactly the same as Yunyao in his memories.
Appearance and posture could be imitated, but verve couldn’t.
Although Jing Yunyao lost her memories, the way of holding the ink brush, the posture and look when she wrote, and the style of her writing were all habits that had developed since her childhood, and they wouldn’t change due to amnesia.
Jing Yunyao’s writing was naturally comfortable and unconstrained. This was her consistent style, and there was no trace of deliberateness, because she didn’t do it deliberately.
Master Leng was already very familiar with Yunyao’s handwriting and he just saw it again, so he got more excited when he saw the several characters Jing Yunyao wrote down and recognized Yunyao’s handwriting, but he didn’t stop Jing Yunyao from finishing writing.
Once Jing Yunyao was done, she put down the ink brush and asked Master Leng, “Master Leng, please.”
Master Leng walked over at once and compared it with Yunyao’s notes.
“They’re exactly the same! I’m sure that they’re from the same person!” Master Leng said with great excitement. “I-I trust you. I now believe that you’re Yunyao.”
Saying that, Master Leng cried with joy.
The others in the room were also excited. Yu Yin completely believed it, and although Leng Yuanzhen and Leng Changzhi still felt that it was too unbelievable, they were willing to accept it.
Since they believed it now, they felt happy too.
“Thank you for trusting me.” Jing Yunyao also cried. She felt happy because members of the Leng family were willing to trust her, but she wasn’t so excited because she lost her memories of them.
(awwwww)
Chapter 1688: The Enemy Was Already Killed
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Yunyao, I trust you too,” said Yu Yin.
“Thank you.” Jing Yunyao thanked Yu Yin.
“Welcome home, Yunyao.”
“Welcome home, Lady Leng!”
Leng Yuanzhen and Leng Changzhi also accepted her. Although they didn’t say that they trusted her too, the way they called her showed their attitudes.
“Thank you so much for trusting me, but I’m sorry that I can’t remember anything about you now,” said Jing Yunyao, feeling a little guilty.
“It’s fine. You’ll get your memories back.” Master Leng comforted her at once. As long as it was true that she was Yunyao, they could take it slowly to help her get her memories back.
Jing Yunyao thought for a while, then said, “Although you trust me, I know you still have doubt. Since I survived, who could be the woman who died with Yuanhan? I think I should explain it to you.”
Hearing that, Master Leng and the others put on a serious expression. They indeed wanted to know the truth.
Since Yunyao was willing to tell them right now, they wouldn’t refuse to listen to her.
“Well, I guess you’ll surely be mad after knowing the truth, but I still think it’s necessary for you to know it. In fact, I indeed fell down from the cliff with Yuanhan, but I was still alive at that time, while Yuanhan was already…” Jing Yunyao said and felt heart-broken. Although she didn’t remember details about the accident, it really had happened and left a great impact on her.
“Because I lost my memories, my older male cousin told me everything. He said that he went to help us once he heard that someone was going to hurt me and Yuanhan, but he was still late, and we had already fallen from the cliff by the time he arrived. Luckily, I was still breathing, so my older male cousin killed a woman who was in our enemy’s group to replace me. He disfigured her face and disguised her as me, then took me away. He did his best to save my life. Although I survived, I lost my memories, and my older male cousin was unwilling to tell me more about Yuanhan. He thought that I should say good-bye to my old life since I lost all my memories.”
“I met Gu Ning a few days ago, and she said that she knew me. She did something to confirm my identity and my older male cousin told me the truth afterwards. I know that his behavior sounds selfish in your ears, but he only did that to protect me,” said Jing Yunyao. She decided to be honest because she reached the agreement with Gu Ning in the car before they came here. If she didn’t tell the truth to the other members of the Leng family, they might still be suspicious of her.
Hearing that, Master Leng and the others didn’t think that she was lying, but they had mixed emotions. What Yunyao’s older male cousin had done was indeed a little selfish in their eyes, but they weren’t annoyed at him, because he did everything for Yunyao’s good.
All of a sudden, Master Leng thought of something. “Aren’t you an orphan?”
In the past, Yunyao told the members of the Leng family that she was an orphan.
The Leng family was aware that she was only the adopted daughter of the Ye family, and its members also knew that Yunyao and Leng Yuanhan already became girlfriend and girlfriend before Yunyao met Ye Zhengye.
The Leng family didn’t disdain Yunyao after knowing that she was an orphan. On the contrary, they had sympathy for her.
The Leng family never cared about a marriage between families of equal social status. It cared more about love. There was a huge gap between Master Leng and his wife too when they got married. The Shen family was only a small business family back then, and it was quite unbelievable in many other people’s eyes when Master Leng married his wife.
Even though Yunyao was an orphan, she was very outstanding. She was a woman, but she joined the army along with Leng Yuanhan and had made great achievements on her own abilities. She also had a title in the military. If the accident hadn’t happened 15 years ago, she would have become a general.
“I’m not an orphan, but there is no difference, because my mother passed away when I was little. My father paid all his attention to his second wife and their children. Only my older male cousin sincerely cares about me in my whole family, but he stayed outside most of the time. I was so tired of the family, so I left it,” said Jing Yunyao. Upon thinking of that family, Jing Yunyao couldn’t help but show hatred on her face. Master Leng and the others felt sorry for her.
“Let bygones be bygones! We can live a happy life from now on,” said Master Leng. He didn’t want Jing Yunyao to be affected by her terrible experiences, and he decided not to blame Jing Jining for keeping it a secret from the Leng family after he rescued Jing Yunyao.
He couldn’t change anything even if he blamed Jing Jining for it. Yunyao was back safe and sound now, which was all that mattered.
“I know,” said Jing Yunyao. She was reluctant to elaborate on that, because she was afraid that she might lose control of her emotions. After all, she had more grudges against her family. It was her family who killed her husband!
She definitely wouldn’t let the Leng family know that, because it would bring trouble and danger to them.
Even though the Leng family was the top family in the mortals’ world and not many other families were comparable to it, it was still nothing for the Jing family who could easily ruin the Leng family.
It was a matter of force. However, there was a rule in the cultivation world that cultivators couldn’t kill mortals, and those who dared to break this rule would be punished by Tiandaozong.
Master Leng suddenly became serious and asked, “You just said that your older male cousin knew that someone was going to hurt you and Yuanhan. Who is it?”
They always believed that it was an accident that had happened when they were chasing criminals, but unexpectedly it was a scheme. If it was a scheme, they had to find out who the enemy was and take revenge.
The Leng family would never hurt innocent people, but it wasn’t weak at all. If it was weak, it wouldn’t become a dominant family, and it wouldn’t submit to humiliation either.
The Leng family wouldn’t take the initiative to commit crimes or allow people from their factions to commit crimes. Violation of the law was actually inevitable, it was just a matter of seriousness. However, no matter who dared to cause the Leng family trouble, it wouldn’t hesitate to take revenge.
Therefore, the members of the Leng family were full of anger after knowing that Leng Yuanhan and Yunyao had been schemed against. The atmosphere became depressing in an instant.
“The enemy was already killed by my older male cousin. He wouldn’t let the person get away with it since it was a scheme,” said Jing Yunyao. She wouldn’t tell the Leng family the truth about that, because she would take revenge by herself.
Hearing that, the others relaxed. Since the enemy was already killed, this problem was solved.
Chapter 1689: Slowly Get Memories back
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Oh, does Shaoting know that you’re still alive?” asked Master Leng.
“Not yet, because I planned to meet you after getting my memories back. It sounds so unreal without my previous memories,” said Jing Yunyao.
“Well.” Master Leng sighed, “Shaoting became cold and introverted after he lost his parents. He seldom talked with other people, and his life was occupied by study. After that, he joined the army and has been busy training and doing his task afterwards.”
Hearing that, Jing Yunyao’s heart ached for her son and tears came out of her eyes. She knew it was hard for a kid to live a good life without parents. Even though he hadn’t been treated badly, the death of his parents still had a great impact on him, which could affect his personality.
Although Leng Shaoting lived an affluent life now, Jing Yunyao still felt sad when she thought about what he had been through.
Master Leng continued, “Because of his hard work, he has made great achievements and became a major general at an early age. In fact, his achievements are enough for the title of a general, but he’s too young and we tried to make it look fair.”
Jing Yunyao felt proud of it too, but she was more sad than proud, because Leng Shaoting had risked his life for the honor.
“Because of Shaoting’s personality, I was worried that he might live his life alone! Luckily, he changed a lot once he met Ningning. Although he still looks cold most of the time, his heart is warm now,” said Master Leng, and he was really grateful to Gu Ning for that.
Jing Yunyao also felt touched. Gu Ning had helped her a lot and now she was able to meet the Leng family.
“If it’s possible, I hope that you can see Shaoting earlier and join us again. We can help you get your memories back slowly,” said Master Leng.
He was aging, and cared more and more about familial relationships. He really hoped that all the members of his family could gather together one day. And since Yunyao was the daughter-in-law of the Leng family, he really hoped that she could join them again.
“Sure.” Jing Yunyao nodded. Actually, after having spoken with Jing Jining, she already made up her mind to see Leng Shaoting one of these days, and now she had no worry at all.
Right at this moment, Gu Ning’s phone rang. Without giving a glance at the caller, Gu Ning knew that it had to be Leng Shaoting.
She was right.
“Grandpa, it’s Shaoting. Should we tell him right now or wait till he’s back?” asked Gu Ning. It was the Leng family’s personal affair after all, so she needed to ask for Master Leng’s opinion.
“Not now. It’s very late, and he’ll rush back home once he finds out. It’ll be dangerous if he drives fast,” said Master Leng. Although he wanted to have Leng Shaoting meet Yunyao as soon as possible, he cared more about his safety. “Ask him when he can be back. If he isn’t busy tomorrow, tell him to come home.”
“Sure, I’ll go outside to answer his call,” said Gu Ning. After Master Leng nodded, Gu Ning went outside. They were boyfriend and girlfriend after all, and they would talk sweet-nothings on the phone, so it was better if she answered the call away from the senior family members.
Once Gu Ning walked to the yard, she called Leng Shaoting back. Because it cost her some time to talk with Master Leng, Leng Shaoting already ended his call.
Leng Shaoting immediately picked up her call because his phone was right in his hand.
Gu Ning made up a lie and told him that she was in the washroom earlier.
Leng Shaoting wasn’t displeased. He only felt a little anxious today, so he was worried that Gu Ning might be in trouble. Now knowing that she was fine, he relaxed.
After chatting for a while, Gu Ning asked Leng Shaoting, “When can you come back?”
“Tomorrow morning. I’ll arrive in the capital before 11 am. Didn’t you say that your friends would come tomorrow? I’ll accompany you to treat them. Oh, I already arranged a car to pick them up at the airport, and we can go to see them together tomorrow,” said Leng Shaoting.
Even though they weren’t in the same age range and didn’t have many common topics, they were Gu Ning’s friends after all and they didn’t become her friends for business benefits. So he really wanted to know and socialize with Gu Ning’s friends.
Gu Ning, however, couldn’t believe that Leng Shaoting wanted to meet Chu Peihan and her other friends. With his presence, it was impossible for them to enjoy themselves.
Leng Shaoting had a natural air of power. Even though he had no intention to show them a cold expression, his social status was too high for them, so they would naturally stand in awe of him.
Anyway, since Leng Shaoting wanted to meet her friends, Gu Ning wouldn’t stop him. In addition, it might not happen, because Leng Shaoting would see Yunyao once he came back tomorrow. In that case, Leng Shaoting probably wouldn’t have time to meet Chu Peihan and Gu Ning’s other friends.
It was only a secret for Leng Shoating right now.
“Great, call me when you’re in the capital tomorrow,” said Gu Ning.
She didn’t have a long talk with Leng Shaoting on the phone, because she couldn’t keep Master Leng and the others waiting for her.
After the call, Gu Ning went back to the living room.
The moment she walked inside, she saw Leng Yuanqian. Gu Ning entered from the back yard, while Leng Yuanqian walked in from the front yard.
Leng Yuanqian was struck dumb for a second when he saw Gu Ning, because it was very late now, but she was still in the Leng family’s house.
“Hi, Uncle Yuanqian.” Gu Ning politely greeted him, but still kept a distance from him. Although she had grudges against Leng Shaojia and Jiang Shuyuan, she didn’t have any grudges against Leng Yuanqian, so she wouldn’t vent her anger on him.
It was obvious that Leng Yuanqian knew nothing about Jing Yunyao.
“Oh, hi!” Leng Yuanqian also greeted Gu Ning politely and stood away from her. He disliked Gu Ning and was unwilling to accept her, because he felt the crisis of Gu Ning supporting Leng Shaoting too. Nevertheless, he still needed to pretend to be polite on the surface. They didn’t have grudges against each other after all.
“Well, I need to see Grandpa Leng right now. Please excuse me,” said Gu Ning, then walked towards Master Leng’s study.
Seeing Gu Ning walking away, Leng Yuanqian squinted. He believed that Leng Shaoting must be here too since Gu Ning was here. He was very dissatisfied with it when Leng Shaoting always stayed in Master Leng’s study and had private conversations with him.
Chapter 1690: Good News
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Ning told Master Leng and the others that Leng Shaoting would be back home at 11 am tomorrow.
“Why don’t you stay here tonight? You can sleep in Shaoting’s room and we can tell him to come back home once he arrives tomorrow,” said Master Leng.
Because Leng Shaoting sometimes slept here, his room was cleaned once every few days. It wasn’t dirty at all. All the furniture in Leng Yuanhan’s room was also covered in white cloth, so it wouldn’t be difficult to clean it.
“Thanks, but I think Ningning and I should go back today, and we’ll come tomorrow morning,” said Jing Yunyao. She wasn’t prepared to stay in the Leng family’s house yet.
“Fine.” Master Leng noticed Jing Yunyao’s unwillingness, so he didn’t insist. He understood that she needed some time to get used to it.
After that, Gu Ning and Yunyao had to leave, so Master Leng walked them out.
At this time, Leng Shaoxun was eating in the dining hall. He heard Gu Ning’s voice coming from the living room and was surprised. Without delay, he stood up and walked outside, then really saw her.
“Gu Ning!” Leng Shaoxun called her and ran towards them.
Hearing his voice, everyone stopped and turned to look at Leng Shaoxun.
Afterwards, Leng Shaoxun complained. “Grandpa, didn’t you say that you have a guest tonight and told us to stay away? I thought your guest is an important leader, but it turns out to be Gu Ning!”
Gu Ning was his idol after all, so Leng Shaoxun was slightly annoyed. Gu Ning wasn’t an outsider. Why did his grandfather tell him to stay away? Because Leng Shaoxun was very little when Leng Yuanhan and Yunyao had the accident, he didn’t know them at all so he stayed calm when he saw Jing Yunyao.
“Because she came for something serious!” said Master Leng. He wasn’t displeased with Leng Shaoxun’s complaint.
“Fine!” Leng Shaoxun pursed his lips, and unwillingly accepted this explanation. In fact, he knew that it must be something serious and that is why Master Leng told them to stay away.
“Shaoxun, we have another guest here,” said Yu Yin, but she didn’t tell Leng Shaoxun that Yunyao was Leng Shaoting’s mother.
“Nice to meet you, ma’am.” Leng Shaoxun greeted Jing Yunyao with respect at once, because Jing Yunyao was the only new face here.
Although Jing Yunyao looked very young, Leng Shaoxun understood that rich women all took good care of their skin. For example, his mother was in late forties now, but looked like a woman in her early thirties.
Leng Shaoxun thought that she might be Gu Ning’s mother, but he didn’t ask that question aloud.
“This is my son, Leng Shaoxun.” Yu Yin introduced Leng Shaoxun to Jing Yunyao.
“Nice to meet you too, Shaoxun.” Jing Yunyao gently smiled at Leng Shaoxun.
After that, Gu Ning and Jing Yunyao left.
Once they were gone, Leng Shaoxun asked Yu Yin, “Mom, is she Gu Ning’s mother?”
“Not really,” said Yu Yin.
“Then who is she?” asked Leng Shaoxun.
“You don’t need to know that!” Yu Yin criticized him.
Leng Shaoxun pursed his lips with dissatisfaction, but said nothing further about it. He went upstairs afterwards and talked about it with Leng Shaoxi.
Leng Shaoxi was also greatly surprised, but she understood it. If it wasn’t something serious, their grandfather wouldn’t have told them to stay away.
At the same time, Master Leng told Leng Changzhi to clean Leng Yuanhan’s room tomorrow morning. Since it was proven that Jing Yunyao was really Yunyao, he really hoped that she could move back and live with them. It might be helpful for her to get her memories back.
Even if Yunyao was unwilling to move in, he wouldn’t force her to do that. Anyway, it was better if the room was cleaned.
Master Leng went back to his room later, and called his youngest daughter, Leng Yuanjin, who was in City C right now.
It was already 11 pm, and Leng Yuanjin just fell asleep, but her phone was turned on 24/7, so she woke up once it rang.
“Who is it? It’s very late!” Song Wenxuan mumbled.
Leng Yuanjin grabbed her phone over and was surprised. “It’s my father.”
Normally, Master Leng was asleep at this time, and he had never called her so late at night, so Leng Yuanjin was worried that something bad might have happened.
Song Wenxuan was scared too and couldn’t sleep further. Leng Yuanjin answered the call at once and asked worriedly, “Father, what happened? Why are you calling me so late at night?”
“Something indeed happened, but it’s good news!” Master Leng said with excitement.
“Good news? What good news?” Leng Yuanjin was relieved, so was Song Wenxuan.
“Yunyao is still alive,” said Master Leng.
“What?” Hearing that, Leng Yuanjin rounded her eyes in shock and couldn’t believe her ears. “W-What did you say?”
Song Wenxuan was anxious looking at Leng Yuanjin. He didn’t know what Master Leng said that made Leng Yuanjin look so surprised.
“Yunyao is still alive! She just came to see us and left not long ago, but she lost her memories, so she can’t remember what happened to her in the past,” said Master Leng.
Leng Yuanjin opened her mouth, and burst into tears the next second.
Women were emotional. In fact, except for Leng Yuanqian’s family, the other people in the Leng family got along well with each other, and they cared about one another too. Leng Yuanjin was thrilled when she heard that Yunyao was still alive and just came back home.
“Yuanjin, what happened?” Song Wenxuan was still anxious. He just heard that it was good news, but didn’t know what it was.
“Shaoting doesn’t know it yet, but he’ll be back home tomorrow morning. We plan to let them see each other. If you have time tomorrow, you can come back too. If not, we can wait till you’re free,” said Master Leng. Although he hoped that Leng Yuanjin could come back, he wouldn’t force her to if she was occupied with work.
“We’re not busy recently, so we’ll come to see you tomorrow,” said Leng Yuanjin. She and her husband were senior leaders in their workplace, so it was easy for them to ask for leave. However, as senior leaders, they wouldn’t leave their work behind for unimportant things.
