Capítulo 1439: Chapter 1439: Old Master Lan’s Condition 8
“Alright, let’s not talk about Grandpa Lan. Let’s discuss your biological mother instead.” Lan’s mother suddenly shifted the topic, “Zhilan, sotis I really feel that your fate almost overlaps with your mother’s. By the way, is your son’s nickna Little Tuanyuan? That’s a lovely na.”
Lan’s mother repeated Little Tuanyuan’s nickna and suddenly asked, “Zhilan, when Little Tuanyuan went missing, how did you feel at that ti?”
“The sky fell, and the entire world went dark. It was as if no matter how sunny it was outside, my world had not a single ray of light,” He Zhilan replied, “that feeling, I never want to experience it again in my life. Clearly alive, obviously trying hard to breathe, yet it felt like a pair of hands were tightly choking my neck, trying to suffocate to death.”
“That kind of pain, people like us who haven’t experienced it can’t really understand, right? Yet, Zhilan, do you know? The suffering you endured, your mother went through three tis.” Lan’s mother’s tone was so light that it sounded like just a sigh, “The first ti was when you disappeared from the He Family at the age of six. I rember that after you went missing, Xiaolan was like a madwoman, tirelessly searching through the city, even rummaging through every trash can to find you. During that period, for the He Family, it was like a catastrophic disaster. Everyone, as ti passed, gradually fell into despair. Your grandmother and grandfather even flew from the capital to C Province to look for you. Almost everyone was sleepless every night because of your disappearance.”
“Back then, communication relied mainly on writing letters. Very few places had phones like they do now. Finding you was as hard as searching for a needle in a haystack. You were never found, and Grandma Gu fell into long-term insomnia because of it, did you know? Until Grandma Gu passed away in the hospital, she had always relied on sleep aids your aunt sent back from abroad. Your grandfather hid away all your belongings, your photos, the bowls and chopsticks you used, even your little clothes and dolls. He stored them all away, even though he knew you might never be able to use them again; he couldn’t bear to throw them away. The calligraphy you wrote was the first thing he looked at every morning. Your grandfather said, just because of that piece of calligraphy, he insisted he had to live to see you again. Actually, the Gu Family is really grateful to you. During Grandpa Gu’s dying monts, you fulfilled that dream for him.”
ntioning her grandfather, He Zhilan couldn’t help but tear up, “One of my greatest regrets in life is that I never called him grandfather when he was still alive and well. My childhood mories are blurry, but the person I rember most clearly is him. He adored imnsely, granting almost anything I asked for. He loved holding , singing his favorite military songs, taking everywhere, and introducing to his old comrades.”
“Yes, when your grandfather was young, he was very strict with your father. After you were born, your mother was worried that your grandfather would use the sa strict thods on you, but nobody expected that he would treat you like a princess. He never restricted you and granted your every wish. Your grandfather said, ‘A daughter can only be willful at ho for a few years. While she’s still ours to spoil, we should indulge her more. Later on, when you want to pamper her, you won’t have the chance,'” Lan’s mother choked slightly, “As for your mother…”
