Chapter 1712: Chapter 1715: Ti to Rest
Mother’s business is quite extensive, so Jin Luoyin wasn’t too surprised and simply said, “I also saw Jie Yi, but he didn’t recognize , and I didn’t get to speak with him!”
Jin Zijin was montarily stunned, and after a while, he slowly said, “Jie Yi and Xuyao are the sa age, both reaching adulthood this year. In the blink of an eye, this group of kids has all grown up. I wonder if Xuyao still…”
Halfway through speaking, his voice suddenly stopped.
Gu Youyou smiled and said, “So many years have passed in the blink of an eye, Zijin, I’ve always wanted to tell you sothing!”
Jin Zijin seed to know what she wanted to say, sitting there with his brows tightly furrowed, making anyone who saw him feel a deep pity.
He never spoke when he was sad, and it was hard for others to see his sadness. He’s been like this his whole life.
Gu Youyou gave a bitter smile and said, “What I want to say is, we really can’t search endlessly like this. But I can’t demand that you stop searching either. How about five more years? If we still can’t find him, don’t go again. At least, don’t leave to search alone anymore.
As we grow old, I hope to have a companion by my side. If you insist on searching, then I will search with you. Wherever you go, I will go too. When we can’t walk anymore, we will search with walking sticks, until even those can’t be held steadily…”
Gu Youyou knew that Jin Zijin always blad himself for the child’s disappearance. Over these years, he had been enduring various tornts, including guilt over losing the child and neglecting his wife and daughter…
Jin Luoyin, seeing it all, felt helpless as well.
She let out a light sigh and said, “Of course, Brother must be found too, and what Mother said is right. Father, you are not young anymore and cannot run around like before. You see, I’ve grown up as well, and I can look for Brother! Although I didn’t find Brother during this trip, I did discover so interesting things!”
Gu Youyou tried to divert Jin Zijin’s attention. Even if she wasn’t in the mood to hear about Jin Luoyin’s interesting discoveries, she pretended to be very interested and asked, “So, Luoyin, tell us what interesting things you encountered?”
Jin Luoyin said, “The owner of Tianhai Mountain Villa, the Young Master, and the owner’s adopted son Jian Shiqing; I don’t know how they are outside, but inside, they are very peculiar.”
Jin Luoyin had no secrets in front of her parents, and to her, there was nothing unspeakable. Especially with Gu Youyou, who was very open-minded, she could get along with such a mother like a close friend with no secrets.
Gu Youyou knew a bit about the owner of Tianhai Mountain Villa’s family and said, “Tianhai Mountain Villa has been outside Yangguan City for over two hundred years. After several generations’ efforts, it has experienced wealth and decline. At its wealthiest, it was the richest in Yangguan City and even the whole southwest, with extensive business throughout Zhuzhao Country.
But during its decline, it was just the previous generation. It’s said that their successor was frail since childhood and couldn’t support the family. So the Family Head, focusing on treating his only son’s illness, had no heart for business, causing the situation to plumt compared to the generation before.
Only in the last twenty years, after the only son’s illness was cured, did the family begin to prosper again!”
Jin Luoyin’s expression turned solemn as she urgently asked, “Is the sickly only son the current owner of Tianhai Mountain Villa?”
“Yes, it is indeed the current owner of Tianhai Mountain Villa, Zhu Haisheng!”
“Why is it another only son?” Jin Luoyin muttered quietly.
