Chapter 259 Grandparents
Chapter 259 Grandparents
“Even if I can’t do it, I should tell your grandparents and ask them to bring you back.”
"Perhaps that way, your mother wouldn't have died."
I went to Uncle Feng's side, gently patted his back, and comforted him.
"Uncle Feng, you don't need to blame yourself! You've done a great job. You've sacrificed so much for me over the years."
"I know that they supported me through college, supported my studies abroad, and have always silently supported me."
"If my mother knew this from beyond the grave, she would be very grateful to you."
Will it?
Uncle Feng suddenly stared at my face in a daze and murmured, "You and your mother are so alike, not only in appearance, but also in personality."
Uncle Feng didn't say it explicitly, but I knew what he meant.
My mother and I are not only similar in personality and appearance, but we also have very similar experiences.
That's why Uncle Feng was afraid I would repeat my mother's mistakes, which is why he tried to stop me from being with Song Yafei.
So they'd rather pay me than let me be with Song Yafei.
Perhaps, as an outsider, he had already foreseen our fate.
"Yes, Mom will be very grateful to you for taking care of me all these years."
Uncle Feng stared at me for a while, then turned his head to look out the window.
I watched as his previously agitated emotions gradually calmed down.
He stopped smoking and took a couple of sips of his coffee. When he turned around, his expression had returned to calm.
"The reason I chose to tell you the truth at this time is because your grandparents' health is getting worse."
"The two elders are getting on in years; I don't know if you would still be willing to visit them."
“These past few years haven’t been easy for the two elderly people. Since your mother passed away, they have been feeling guilty and haven’t been doing well.”
Speaking of elderly people, for some reason, the elderly couple I met in front of the record store comes to mind.
They also said I looked like their daughter.
My momentary daze led Uncle Feng to mistakenly believe that I was unwilling, so he took a step back and quickly changed his mind.
"It's okay if you don't want to see them, but I hope you can agree to let me bring my parents to see you from afar, so that they can get some comfort."
"No, Uncle Feng, I'm willing," I said hastily.
There are still two relatives in this world who share a connection with me, and I am truly happy inside.
Besides, I so desperately wanted a home, how could I possibly reject my grandparents' presence?
"Really? You're really willing?" Uncle Feng was overjoyed.
I know that Uncle Feng and my maternal grandparents probably think I will blame them, since it was their opposition that forced my mother to leave and caused her to die young.
But what wrong have they done?
All parents want is for their children to be happy.
And the final outcome proved that their judgment was correct; the father was indeed not a trustworthy person.
"Of course, Grandpa and Grandma weren't wrong, were they? They just wanted their daughter to have a good life, didn't they?"
"That's wonderful!" Uncle Feng hugged me excitedly, his eyes even welling up with tears.
Perhaps at this moment, he finally found peace.
"Thank you for finally allowing me to fulfill your mother's request. Now I can face your mother with confidence when I die."
We left the coffee shop after only a short while. Uncle Feng offered to see me off, but I declined.
After coming out, I called a car to meet the person I was supposed to meet.
Having already decided to use an old record at Yue Ming's wedding, I made arrangements with acquaintances and the elderly couple who needed the record.
Unexpectedly, he actually had it. I had arranged to go to his store to pick up the record, and also to select some records to use at Yueming's wedding.
Late at night, I returned home laden with my loot.
That night, probably because Uncle Feng had mentioned my mother during the day, I dreamt of a very familiar and warm embrace.
Although I couldn't see her face clearly, I always felt that it was my mother.
Sadly, I have no memory of my mother.
And surprisingly, I even dreamed about that group of elderly people.
I couldn't quite figure out this dream, but I didn't think about it too much.
After all, I've been worrying about the old man's record for the past two days, so it's probably just a case of thinking about it during the day and dreaming about it at night.
I received a call from Uncle Feng around noon the next day.
Uncle Feng told me on the phone that my grandparents had gone to another country on business the day before and would not be back for a few days.
I told Uncle Feng there was no rush, because I needed to stay in Country B for a while longer.
After I had arranged everything, I called the old man. Quite by chance, he said he wasn't coming back anytime soon.
I reassured the old man that I would definitely wait for him to come back.
That put his mind at ease.
After arranging this matter, I began Yue Ming and Han Nian's wedding.
Ten days later at the wedding banquet, Han Nian was once again deeply moved.
As I said, with the arrangements made last time, we can only do better this time.
Despite attending two wedding banquets, Han Nian was still remarkably satisfied.
Han Nian told me that what made her happiest was the wedding dress and the diamond ring.
Her favorite design.
Initially, I planned to design their wedding rings and wedding dresses myself.
But in the end, I only designed the wedding ring because my hand simply couldn't hold up.
In the end, I contacted a very good friend who drew up the design based on my ideas.
At the wedding banquet, Yue Ming held a wine glass and watched Han Nian laughing heartily in the crowd.
"You designed both the wedding dress and the diamond ring, and Niannian is most satisfied with them. Have you ever thought about picking up a pen again?"
"After all, that's your favorite career."
I silently looked at my hands.
Actually, Yue Ming is right. Even though designing the wedding ring was very difficult, I was very happy throughout the whole process.
Because design has never been a burden for me; it has always been my favorite.
It's true that it was difficult.
After pondering for a long time with my head down, I looked up at Yue Ming and said, "I will seriously consider it."
In Country B, Yue Ming's wedding banquet was grand and lasted for five days.
The night finally ended, and I dragged my exhausted body back to the hotel.
I never expected to see the same elderly couple from before in the hotel lobby.
We haven't even decided on a time to meet, and how did they know I live here?
Just as I was wondering, Uncle Feng walked over from the side and stood next to the two elderly people, looking very familiar with them.
Do they know each other?
I find it a little strange.
I walked toward Uncle Feng and the others, and they slowly approached me as well. The two elderly people's eyes gradually reddened.
Seeing them like this, for some reason, I had a vague suspicion in my mind.
This guess made me both nervous and excited.
