Ch 19 – Seeing Uncle Liu Again

“How was it!” Lei Yu hurriedly asked.

“I almost grasped the gas, but what a pity!”

“You are an imbecile! Dummy!”

Separating the fruits to the two, they each returned to their own home.

Lei Yu took out his cell phone, after thinking back and forth, he then dialed a number.

“Who is it?”

“Uncle Liu!”

“Little… little Yu?”

“It is. Uncle Liu, I want to see you, but don’t let the Lei family members know, is that possible?”

“I’ve already left the Lei family household, ever since you… since you left, I did not stay with the Lei family.”

“Oh? How did this happen?”

“I have something to do the next few days, I will call you afterwards.”

“Okay.” Hanging up the phone, Lei Yu lay on the bed and stretched around. Sleep suddenly overwhelming him, he wanted to have a good night’s rest. But once he thought about the battle date in three years with Cai Zhong, now being only two years left, Lei Yu sat up again, “I cannot slack off!”

Three days later in the afternoon, Lei Yu’s cell phone started ringing. Once a place was determined with uncle Liu, Lei Yu rushed over there.

Inside the room of a teahouse called “Pin Ming Zhuang” (Taste of Tea Village)

“Ever since the day you were being kicked out of the Lei family, I began packing to leave together with you. But once I found out you had jumped off a cliff, then I knew it was too late to tell you what I was planning.” Uncle Liu’s face showed some guilt.

For this jumping off the cliff incident, Lei Yu did not want to explain too much of the details. The thing he was most concerned with right now was his mother’s whereabouts.

“Uncle Liu, who exactly is my mother?”

From uncle Liu’s pocket, he took out a small rectangular box. Carefully opening the box, uncle Liu took out a photo and a piece of jade pendant.

“This is a photo of your mother, and this… this is jade pendant that was left to you by your mother.”

Lei Yu’s hands were trembling as he took possession of these two things. Due to the passage of time, the photo had become a bit yellow. This was a photo of a young and beautiful girl, but this was taken almost twenty years ago. In the photo, Lei Yu was being gently stroked by his mother while he was gently grasping onto her. Floundering around while looking for a family member he had never been in touch with, this all seemed a bit too fake, too unrealistic.

Picking up the jade pendant that uncle Liu gave him, this was a clear colored emerald green jade, carved in front was the word “moon.” Lei Yu with a slightly choked voice asked: “Uncle Liu, did my mother ask you to give this jade pendant to me?

Uncle Liu nodded, “right, nineteen years ago on that day, a woman was holding a baby in her arms, this baby was you.” Uncle Liu let out a long sigh then said: “That day, the leader of the Lei family’s wife was still alive, so two women were quarrelling quite fiercely. Everyone in the family did not agree that you were considered a descendant of the Lei family, but the family leader threw away the customs and still accepted you. Your mother also disappeared in the night after that. But before she left, she gave me those items, and made me promise that when you reached the age of twenty, to give you these items and to tell you everything that had happened.

Lei Yu’s heart was startled, nineteen years ago the leader of the house actually accepted me? This, how was this possible? Why would he be able to accept me nineteen years ago, but gave me up only because I did not have the family brand? And to even kick me out of the family? It’s all somewhat unreasonable.

“This jade pendant is only half of the original, the other half is in your mother’s possession. If you are able to be reunited with your mother, then you only need to take out the two pieces of the pendant and match it up to prove your identities.

No matter how Lei Yu thought about it, he did not think those tragic drama TV show plots that he used to watch growing up would actually happen to himself. This whole thing was like a dream, for nearly two decades, he didn’t even know what his mother looked like.

“So where is my mother right now?” asked Lei Yu.

Uncle Liu shook his head helplessly, “the day your mother left was the last time she was ever seen again. Everything I know has been revealed to you, I hope you can find your loved one soon, I have to leave now.”
