Chapter 639 - An Eventful Night of the Past (1/2)

Old Guan weakly turned the photo album's pages.

He smiled while his thin and wrinkled fingers touched his daughter's young face on the photos. Her daughter was still an eight-year-old chubby princess in the picture. She very much looked like Guan Gu Ri and Xixin did when they were little.

The old man nostalgically reminisced the old but fond memories as he turned the pages softly.

On his side were three more photo albums of his grandsons. He also looked through them one by one.

He saw a picture of his daughter and his three grandsons. They were in the garden of the Guan Mansion. Her daughter was smiling while carrying the two-year-old Guan Gao Huan. Guan Gu Ri and Guan Xixin were still small boys who were grinning side by side and holding hands. While the two-year-old Gao Huan wanted to join them, the little boy had no choice but to be carried by his daughter in her arms as the young one was still too young and weak to run around.

Old Guan weakly shook his head while smiling. He remembered that time clearly because he was there.

When his daughter was alive, he spoiled his grandsons so much as a loving grandfather. They were many pictures of them taken, with his daughter and his grandsons, compiled every year.

However, the lively pictures stopped.

On the next page was only him, the young teenager Guan Gu Ri, and the gloomy Guan Xixin.

The old man's heart ached.

Why was he so blinded by rage at that time and abandoned his third grandson? He had really committed such a grave mistake.

His eyes misted over, and he blinked the mist away.

He took the album containing pictures when Guan Gao Huan was still an infant while his daughter was hugging the baby with a big smile.

Unable to take it anymore, he hugged the album to his c.h.e.s.t dully. His mind mourned inwardly for his mistake and asked for forgiveness from his daughter.

Then a picture dropped from the album.

Recovering from his daze, Old Guan put down the album and reached out for the fallen picture.

”Oh, this? It is still here?”

It was an old picture of him and his friends when he was still young.

The head butler heard his murmur from the side. He stepped forward and also took a peek. ”Oh, it's you, Headmaster, together with the other headmasters.”

Old Guan smiled as he looked at the picture.

In the photo, he, Old Xiong, Old Lu, and Mistress Tang were sitting around a table, smiling. They were still all in their early twenties back then. They were wearing formal clothes and had glasses of wine in their hands. They were happy and lively.

Their background had a group of foreign dancers.

”I remember this night. This photo was taken abroad. Our parents brought us to a business trip overseas while training us in the process... Oh?”

He saw a head of silver in one of the dancers.

Realization hit upon him.
