”Later on, I tried to contact your grandfather as well. However, your grandfather's contact details have all been changed. I don't know if that was done by Xu Qiming …” ”It's not like I dare to come back. Just like this, I've dragged it on for so many years …”

Chen Jingyuan was also very ashamed and spoke in a low voice.

Hearing her words, Xu Chencan fell into silence.

Her mood was very complex, it was hard to tell if it was relaxed or heavy.

Perhaps she should feel at ease because her mother was not a heartless and heartless person. Or perhaps, she should feel that Xu Qiming was even more despicable than what she knew …

She didn't know …

After sitting in silence for a while, she silently stood up and walked out.

Chu Lingyu followed her closely.

”Can Can …” Chen Jingyuan called her name with a trembling voice.

Xu Chencan stopped and did not look back. ”Come with me.”

Chen Jingyuan cried.

She knew that she had finally gotten her daughter's forgiveness.

In the evening, for dinner.

Chen Jingyuan was obviously very reserved and didn't look like an elder at all.

”So you got married again, didn't you?” Seeing her lowered her head and not say anything, Xu Chencan felt a little uncomfortable. She decided to say something to make Chen Jingyuan feel more at ease.

”Oh, yes.” Chen Jingyuan smiled at her apologetically, ”I still have two children …” ”Kan Can, I'm sorry …”

”There's no need to apologize to me. This is your life.” Xu Chencan's words of apology made Xu Chencan feel extremely uncomfortable. ”How is the person who came after you?”

Then, Chen Jingyuan's face finally had a normal smile, ”He's been very good to me. After so many years, he's still been as good to me as he was before.”

”That's good.” Xu Chencan smiled faintly at her and said, ”Grandfather will definitely be very happy to learn of this.”

Chen Jingyuan's eyes were filled with tears again: ”Mhm.”

That night, Xu Chencan and Chu Lingyu slept in the same room.

She cried for a very long time in Chu Lingyu's arms.

Crying for so many years, crying for the pain of losing her grandfather. Crying for her father and mother no longer belonged to her. They had their own world now, and she was left alone.

Chu Lingyu gently embraced her without saying a word until she was tired from crying and fell asleep. Only then did he kiss her forehead and said in a low voice, ”Idiot, even if they leave, you still have me to accompany them.”

Grandpa's funeral was scheduled for the next day.

In Xu Chencan's opinion, the guests invited were very few, only some of his grandfather's old friends.

It was as if Xu Chencan had cried all her tears the day before. Watching her grandfather's casket being placed into the grave by the staff member, she did not shed a single tear.

Only Chen Jingyuan was crying. She was still crying even after all the people who came to the funeral had left.

”Should I advise her?” Chu Lingyu looked at Chen Jingyuan and her eyes became swollen from crying.

Xu Chencan shook his head. ”No, she's been late for so many years. It's time for her to repay the debt with tears.”

That night, Chen Jingyuan stepped on the plane that left.

Xu Chencan and Chu Lingyu's lives returned to their original rhythm.

But after a few days, something seemed to have changed between them.

It was like some sort of irresistible chemical reaction.
