Chapter 219 - A Family (1/2)

Her last sentence made Yu Jinhai freeze in his place but he went back to normal before anyone could notice anything amiss with him.

”.... I understand that you were angry but if you had not been so stubborn and tried to look for your daughter even once, then she or Ah Jin might not have suffered so much,” She got her hands out of his grip, ”As for me, family and all don't really matter to me. I can survive all alone. I have made it through all this years like that and I can do so in future. So-”

Her words came to a halt when she noticed the tears strolling down his wrinkled cheeks. And the way her heart ached left her confused and bothered. Why did she even feel so attached to all these people when they have nothing to do with her?

She was saying all this based on her past life. She was not trying to hurt him but it all came out in a mess.

She patted his shoulder, ”In fact, I am not even judging you. Situations forced you to do this. It must have hurt you when your daughter choose a man before you who is her father...” Her words were a bit jumbled but she hoped the old man would understand her feelings and intentions.

Grandpa Yu sniffed, ''I realized my mistake but it is all too late at that time. I-”

”Old Master Yu, I didn't mean to be rude. Please don't cry,” She had seen this old man so strong and savage the last time that it was weird to see him crying like this. It felt so uncomfortable in her heart. She eyed Jun Zixuan who was sitting on the couch while watching the show calmly. She gritted her teeth and mouthed 'How to coax a crying old man?' She mouthed.

The man shrugged with a 'I have no idea' look on his face.

'Google it' She glared at him.

'Probably you can try calling him Grandpa' Jun Zixuan mouthed,

'Will that work?' She raised an eyebrow.

He shrugged again with a 'I don't have any other solutions' written all over his face.

Jun Zixuan quickly took out his phone before starting up the video mode.

She pursed her lips and looked at the old man who was sobbing softly. Her fingers curled into a fist as she gulped. ”G-Gra...Cough...” Why was it so tough? The tips of her ears turned red, ”Grandpa...”

Jun Zixuan pressed the save option as his eyes twinkled. He knew she would look this cute while doing this. Awkward, shy and downright adorable.

The old man paused as he hiccupped looking at her with his tear filled eyes.

She sighed and raised her hand to wipe the tears off his face, ”I really didn't meant to be rude. And I think everything happens for a reason. Fate has got its own plans. Since we can't do anything about the past, let us just focus on the future.”

A soft smile made its way on Jun Zixuan's face. However childish she is, at the times like this, she could be the most mature person. She was just not used to be expressive about it.

Grandpa Yu held the hand that was wiping his tears. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket  before cleaning her fingers, ”Does that means you have forgiven me?”

''I have no reasons to be angry. I was just trying to be logical,” In the end, she ended up being emotional. Her logic of 'I am not the original owner and this newfound family is not mine' simply jumped out of the window.

The old man wiped his tears with the back of his hand as tried to keep a straight face, inwardly chastising himself for ruining his image in front of his granddaughter.
