Chapter 269 Birds Of A Feather (1/2)

”Are you okay?” Madame Tang asked Tang Yian.

For a moment, Tang Yian didn't respond. It was not like he didn't want to but he couldn't. It was like he was frozen for a second.

He did not understand why this was happening to him but Tang Yian's head and his heart pounded simultaneously sending shivers down his spine. He had not felt this sensation since the first year after his accident. At that point in time he had tried so hard to remember his life prior to the accident, but as hard as he tried he couldn't...

”Yian?” Madame Tang said with worry, hoping that Tang Yian would answer but he still didn't.

Hearing his own name actually made the pain worse. He remembered random things which he did not understand. There were some images of a run-down old house, but what came to mind were mostly words.

They were said in the voices of two distinct women, one full of immense sadness and anger who screamed,

”Why don't you listen to me?! I can't take her crying anymore.”

And the other, the one which really sent shivers down his spine was one of a young girl.

”I hate you!” The girl said with a burning passion.

Those words echoed in his head until words came to his lips.

”My little siren...” Tang Yian said under his breath.

Watching as the man held his hands in his hand, Tang Yiling went over to the man and she put her hand on his back.

Leaning over him, Tang Yiling's face was full of worry.

”Dad?” Tang Yiling said.

As soon as Tang Yian heard her voice, he pushed back the thoughts that were beginning to flood his mind and he said, ”I'm fine my little angel... Just a headache. ”

Hearing this, Tang Yiling nodded before she laid her head on his shoulder. Feeling this, Tang Yian put his arm around the girl's shoulder and he held her warmly.

”Yian, you should go to the hospital this time. I think it's best if they do a full check up.” Elder Tang said, interrupting the father-daughter moment. The old man's eye were dark as he looked at both Tang Yiling and Tang Yian.

Tang Yian nodded. ”I will...”

Looking at Tang Yian and Tang Yiling, Madame Tang felt immense guilt wash over her but she did not say anything. She just allowed the two to enjoy their moments while it lasted...

In the car, Lu AnLing sat with her head against the window as Kang Jun drove them back to the Kang manor.

Looking at her every so often, Kang Jun checked if the girl was okay, but ever since they had left the Lu family home, Lu AnLing had been as quiet and quiet could be.

It felt a bit uncomfortable but Kang Jun could not think of a topic of conversation so he allowed the car to stay quiet.

”Hey... what do you think about my family?” Lu AnLing suddenly said, breaking the silence.

”Truthfully?” Kang Jun asked coldly.

”Yup.” Lu AnLing said as she turned her gaze towards the man.

Feeling the girl's impatient gaze on him, Kang Jun sighed. ”Well, your family is a bit strange. They don't quite feel familial... your grandmother, brother, mother and father seem to care about you though. In their own way. If I were to analyze them based on the information I've seen, I would have to say that your brother is the only one who you'll keep in contact with if you ever decide to never to go back to that place again...”

Lu AnLing nodded at every word Kang Jun said and then she spoke herself.

Lu AnLing: ”I used to work so hard not to be hated... but now, I feel like I never want to go to that home ever again. I gave everything up in the hopes of doing just that and now I don't have a family... but it's strange. I've never felt so free!”
