Chapter 484: No Need for a DNA Test, Tianxin Is My Daughter【1】
Yes, she wouldn’t drink anymore.
She had to live.
She had to live well.
She had to live until the day her daughter returned.
She had to ask her daughter herself why she didn’t come back.
“Tianxin, Grandmother won’t drink anymore,” Grandmother promised.
Grandmother held Ye Tianxin’s hand and looked at Xie Xuning. “Let’s go back to the imperial capital tomorrow.”
No one was worthy of her nostalgia in this small town.
Her heart had completely gone cold.
“Let’s go back to the imperial capital to find my daughter Linlang,” Grandmother said.
Xie Xuning nodded. “Okay.”
The cook took the things he had brought with him during the night.
Some trash was left in the small courtyard. Xie Xuning gave the next-door neighbor some money to deal with it.
That night, he took Grandmother and Ye Tianxin back to the imperial capital.
Jiameng was the hometown of Ye Tianxin. She grew up there.
It was once the purest place in her heart.
Since she had learned that its people lied for money, she didn’t want to return to this small town.
By the time they reached Lang Garden, the sky was already a little bright.
Xie Xuning put Ye Tianxin to bed first. Then he sat across Grandmother, coaxing her in a low voice.
“Mom, I know what happened tonight made you very sad, but don’t hurt your health for those people who don’t matter.”
He was worried that the recent happenings would take a toll on his mother-in-law’s health.
Grandmother shook her head. She looked at Xie Xuning, eyes filled with grief and anger.
“Xuning, it was all my fault,” Grandmother said dejectedly.
Xie Xuning held Grandmother’s hand and whispered, “It’s not your fault, Mom. It was fate testing me and Linlang. We will meet again one day. I believe that fate won’t be so unfair to us. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of your body…of yourself. The three of us are waiting for Linlang to return.”
Grandmother looked exhausted.
She had been happily preparing for the celebration, but those people ruined what could have been a happy occasion.
Yes, in 1988, 100 yuan was very valuable.
A hundred yuan could tempt one to do a lot of things. Not all people had a hundred yuan in their pockets in those days.
One hundred yuan, in the eyes of many people, was a huge sum of money.
That’s why these people were tempted to lie, which, in turn, separated her from her daughter.
Her granddaughter grew up without a father because of their lies.
“Xuning, you are tired, too. Get some rest.”
That night, Grandmother suffered from insomnia. She had always been kind to others and never held grudges. She was never envious of other people’s successes.
She simply lived her life peacefully, but…
When Grandmother thought of these, it seemed as if there was no way for the wound in her heart to heal.
She wouldn’t be able to let go of this matter as long as she lived.
Xie Xuning returned to the study. He looked at Ye Linlang’s photo in the album and couldn’t help but smile.
He gently touched Ye Linlang’s face in the photo. Tears welled up in his eyes.
He whispered, “My wife, I brought Mother and Tianxin back to Lang Garden. When you come back, our family will be reunited.”
Xie Xuning’s phone rang, and he glanced at the name of the caller.
It was Qie Wang.
“Ah-Wang.”
When Qie Wang heard Xie Xuning’s voice, he immediately asked, “Xuning, are you back? Once you’re in the capital, come and do a DNA test with your Tianxin. I will do it myself this time, and I promise I won’t keep the samples out of my sight.”
