Chef Bao laughed until he cried.
After wandering for most of his life, from the Great Zhou to Nanzhao, and then from Nanzhao to the Sorcerer Clan, the hardships that Yu Wan knew were only the tip of the iceberg. This old man had suffered too much in order to find his child. Fortunately, he could finally reunite with his family in his remaining days.
It did not matter if he returned to the Great Zhou or not. Wherever his son was, it was his home.
“Your mother also hopes that I can find you. She wanted me to take a look for her… I’m afraid that if I can’t find you one day, I’ll…” Chef Bao didn’t say anything inauspicious and jumped over with a smile.
He had not told anyone that this was an agreement between him and his wife. His wife had chosen cremation and asked him to bring her ashes with him no matter where he went. She was worried that he would die in a foreign country one day, and she did not want him to be alone.
Jiang Jingnian kowtowed to his late mother’s ashes. Chef Bao was not in good health. After talking for a while, he fell asleep. Jiang Jingnian carried his father to the bed and pulled the blanket over him.
The Sorcerer Clan was not cold in July, but Chef Bao was old and his body was cold. Jiang Jingnian carefully tucked his father in. After Chef Bao fell asleep, the two of them went to the outer room.
Yu Wan couldn’t bear to say some things, but she had to. “Uncle Jiang.”
“Ah Wan, do you have something to say to me?” Jiang Jingnian looked at the girl who took care of his father meticulously and asked gently. “It’s about Grandpa Bao’s body,” Yu Wan said softly.
Jiang Jingnian opened his mouth but hesitated.
His father was actually younger than his father-in-law, but he had endured the pain of losing his wife and child all year round. Coupled with his hard travels, he was extremely weak. Although he was not a doctor, the moment he saw his father, he understood that his father did not have much time left.
“Actually, after I separated from my parents, my parents were the ones who didn’t have a good life.” Jiang Jingnian felt that he was very lucky to have met so many kind people, let alone Mrs. Jiang, who he treated as his own. Even when he went on the search for his parents, he was young and strong, and he had the savings Mrs. Jiang had left for him. He really didn’t suffer much, but his parents were different. His biological mother was so sad that she passed away. In order to find him, his father dragged his increasingly hunched body and his white hair… to search for most of his life.
Yu Wan comforted him. “Uncle Jiang, they’ll only be at ease if you’re doing well! If you suffer too much, they’ll blame themselves even more than now.” What could make parents happier than their children living better?
What? Yu Wan was at a loss.
Yan Jiuchao snorted in disdain. “Did he say to you that I’m not your biological father, but he is?”
Yu Wan:
Yan Jiuchao turned around and looked at Yu Wan. “Alright, you’re not young anymore. It’s time for you to know some things. That’s right, you’re not my biological daughter. Your father owed a large gambling debt back then and couldn’t repay it. He also offended someone he shouldn’t have. In the end, he begged me to take care of it for him. The benefit he promised me was you.”
Yu Wan blinked. The past of an expert was so melodramatic. How could she continue with this topic?
Yan Jiuchao said indifferently, “Do you know what I said to him back then?” How should I know? I’m not that unlucky child, am I?
“I said, I need a child to refine pills,” Yan Jiuchao said casually. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Yu Wan, as if to say, Do you know now? Your heartless father pushed you out to your death.
Yu Wan: “Oh.”
Yan Jiuchao:
Oh? What kind of reaction was that?
Yu Wan’s eyes darted around and she tapped her fingers. “Um… I think… my father… didn’t push me out to die. He gave me to you… to be your child bride!”
Yan Jiuchao blushed. “What nonsense are you talking about?! Aren’t you embarrassed to say that?! Why would I want you to be a child bride! I’ve never had such thoughts about you!!!”
Xiaobao walked in with his pants. “Daddy, where’s Mommy?
“Here!” Yan Jiuchao stuffed the little munchkin into Yu Wan’s arms.
Yu Wan:
Yan Jiuchao: ‘
