Chapter 112 – Sullen Mood (2/2)
“Why did it end up like this! No wonder our dad asked me so many times which Liu Zhenhai it was when I told him that you and Liu Yue were going to visit her grandpa, Liu Zhenhai. After I explained, he left with a sigh,” Zhao Yanyan thought about it and said.
“The situation is severe, I didn’t think it would be like this as well! Ever since a young age, I just never heard of these relatives!” I said helplessly.
“Could he have made a mistake? There are too many people with the same name in HUaxia!” Zhao Yanyan asked.
“It can’t be…” Liu Yue, who had stayed silent till now, spoke up. “I heard from grandpa before. He has an older brother that was chased out of the family by his father!”
It seems like this really was complicated. I sighed and said, “Yanyan, comfort Liu Yue first. The most important thing right now is to confirm with my dad!”
“Alright, go! I’m here!” Zhao Yanyan nodded.
I put on a large coat, then walked to my dad’s study with a heavy mind. I knocked on the door. Then, my dad’s voice rang out from within, “Come in, the door isn’t locked!”
I pushed open the door and found my dad smoking on the armchair. The ashtray on the table was also covered in cigarette buds. I looked at my dad again and saw his bloodshot eyes, it seems like he didn’t sleep well the entire night either!
“Dad, is the family tree you showed me real?” I asked anxiously.
My dad raised his head and pointed at the sofa on the side, “It’s real! Your grandpa left it for me back then!”
I smiled wryly, “No wonder Liu Yue said that they also have a box like this at home!”
“How do you plan to deal with this?” My dad asked.
“To be honest, I don’t know either!” I said with a sigh.
“What level of relationship did you reach with her?” My dad asked in a testing manner.
“The final step!” I shook my head, “Don’t you know your own son!”
“Ai! Blasphemy! I also guessed that, I only asked with a get-lucky mindset!” replied my dad.
“How could it be this much of a coincidence! Dad, I’ve never heard that I had such a second grandpa!” I asked.
“Yes, you’ve never heard about it, even I don’t know much. Your grandpa has never told me about his family! I only heard a little bit here and there from your grandma’s words!” My dad replied. “The Liu family was a huge family before we were liberated. You can imagine how much power they had in the old society has a huge warlord. This sort of family would often ignore the feelings of their children. The marriage between children was just a chip for money and power in the hands of the elders!”
I nodded, actually wasn’t it just the same now! Liu Yue was supposed to be married into the Situ family like that!
“My father, who is also your grandpa, apparently was forced to marry a rich man’s daughter. Yet, your grandpa had already fallen deep in love with your grandma. Your grandma was just a mere civilian back then, so your grandpa’s family naturally disagreed with it! Your grandpa was also very determined, so he just left home in rage in order to be with your grandma, completely severing all ties with his family! That’s why, it could be said that we don’t have any real relationship with that Liu family anymore! According to the rules of the family, your grandpa was also chased out of the family!” My dad continued.
I never would have thought that my grandpa was also a spoony person when he was younger, he actually did such a shocking thing!
