The old man coughed lightly, his weak hands trembling slightly. With a pale face, he forced out a mouthful of air and said,"Mute…"
" Mute…" Kang Shirou frowned. Was Mute the girl's name?
The old man didn't say anything else. He turned over and closed his eyes to sleep. Kang Shirou led everyone out of the ward, his expression solemn as he held his breath and asked,"Other than an old photo from more than ten years ago and the house that Grandpa said has long been reduced to ruins, are there any other clues?”
"We sent people to investigate the whereabouts of the owners of the houses that were demolished back then. We also found people to verify them one by one, but none of them matched Grandpa's description.”Pan Shixian sighed helplessly. His sharp eyes under his thick eyebrows were filled with sorrow.
"Do you know what relationship that woman has with Grandpa?”It wasn't that he hadn't asked, but no matter how much he asked, his grandfather never spoke.
If that woman was his grandfather's ex-lover, her age would match. However, as far as he could remember, his grandfather and grandmother had always been very loving. Moreover, his grandmother also knew about the woman his grandfather mentioned. Not only did she not get jealous or argue, but she would also show pain and regret with his grandfather more often. This was something he had never understood.
"I don't know, but Grandpa mentioned Mute just now. "Could it be…" Pan Shixian speculated.
"I was thinking the same thing just now. Could Mute be that woman's name?”
"But grandpa said he didn't know her name.”Pan Shixian asked.
Looking for someone but not saying the name of the person he was looking for…Did he really not know or was there something else? Who was that mute?
Pan Shixian and Kang Shirou fell silent.
"I can't eat at the same table as this woman who has disgraced our family.”Old Master Du flung his chopsticks aside and was about to get up and leave.
During this period of time, he had quarreled with Du Zhenbang over this matter countless times. What made him angry was that Du Zhenbang would not compromise even if he was beaten to death and insisted on keeping this scourge by his side.
Old Man Du's sharp words hurt Han Yifang's heart. She bit her lip and forced a smile onto her face.
"I'm sorry. It's all my fault." She humbly apologized, her eyes filled with tears.
"Yes! It's all your fault!" Old Master Du no longer cared about being a gentleman. After experiencing this incident, he was once again certain that this woman could not be kept!
"If it weren't for you, the Du family wouldn't have lost face! I advise you to leave this place as soon as possible, lest…"
"Grandpa!" Du Zhenbang heard Old Master Du's angry roar as soon as he entered the door. He stopped him at the right time." I've told you many times that this matter has nothing to do with her. I don't want Grandpa to make use of this to criticize her again and again.”
Criticize?
"Do you think I'm reprimanding her?" Old Master Du's suddenly raised voice then lowered." Then I have to ask, how did you treat her?”Humph! He was just a chess piece that couldn't be put on the table.
"Grandpa!" There was a hint of warning in this shout. He narrowed his cold eyes and continued," If you don't want me to tell you about what happened back then and ruin my reputation in my later years, it's best if you don't interfere in my matters."”
"Are you threatening me?" Old Master Du's blood pressure suddenly rose.
" If Grandpa thinks that this is a threat…" Du Zhenbang shrugged his shoulders, looking indifferent.
Seeing Du Zhenbang and Old Master Du's hostility, Han Yifang's heart sank. She understood that she was an intruder who should not have appeared in the Du family. Other than Du Zhenbang, there was no one who did not reject her. She was Alice who had accidentally entered the dream, destined to be reincarnated with fear and humiliation in nightmares after nightmares.
With tears in her eyes, she listened to their mysterious conversation. She listened to every word in her heart. She told herself not to cry, told herself to be safe and happy. If this was her fate, then she should accept it smoothly.
"Darling, let's go." Du Zhenbang suddenly took her hand and walked out of the door.
Han Yifang did as he said and swallowed her sobs before putting on a fake smile and following him out.
She had never thought of hurting anyone. To be more accurate, she did not know how to hurt anyone. She only hoped that she would not be hurt. She only hoped that God would allow her to love the man in front of her.
She turned around and glanced at Old Master Du, her clear eyes filled with apology.
"What are you thinking about?"
"What?" Du Zhenbang's sudden approach gave Han Yifang a huge fright. When they left the house just now, Du Zhenbang saw that she hadn't eaten much at home, so he considerately brought her to this five-star restaurant.
"I…I'm not thinking about anything." Han Yifang lowered her head shyly, too embarrassed to express her admiration for him.
Du Zhenbang seemed to be deliberately not giving her a chance to escape. He slowly lifted her chin with his index finger."Darling, I'm sorry for making you suffer.”
Han Yifang's bright eyes instantly turned moist. In all these years, she had never met a man who treated her so gently. She threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.
Du Zhenbang ignored everyone's gazes and comforted her softly, telling her his apologies. He turned his head and saw a cold smile on his face.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420183: 40PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185:54PM
