Chapter 227: Chapter 227: He Was the First Person Who Treated Me So Kindly

For Tang Li, the only promise Lai Wenyan ever fulfilled was transferring Tang Yin’s urn from Yanjiao to Fengqing Garden.

Even if this promise was obtained by her attending a dinner at the Xia Family.

Tang Li didn’t know exactly where Tang Yin was buried and could only search row by row.

At last, she found Tang Yin’s tombstone in the second row.

Compared to the tombstones on either side, Tang Yin’s tombstone was rather simple, with no photo, only the golden inscription "Tomb of Tang Yin".

Tang Li placed a bunch of mariposa lilies in front of the tombstone and did not rise immediately. Instead, she looked at the tombstone and said, "I haven’t visited you all this time, do you blame me?"

Tang Li sat next to the tombstone, her sadness not accompanied by tears, just quietly sitting there. After a long time, she spoke again: "Actually, I have something I want to ask you, but you can no longer answer me."

She turned her head, her gaze softly landing on the dark tombstone: "You asked me to go to the Capital to find dad, and even gave me the address. When did you know about his true identity? Knowing that he had a wife and daughter, why didn’t you tell me? Were you afraid that I wouldn’t want to look for him anymore, or did you... still hold a little hope that he might cherish the past and treat your child well?"

Speaking thus, Tang Li said pensively, "Sometimes I wonder, if you knew back then that my father wasn’t dead, that he was deceiving your feelings and married you only to complete a task faster, would you still have decided to give birth to me?"

"Without me, your life in Diannan wouldn’t have been so tough."

A single woman and a single mother lead lives worlds apart; an extra child means an extra burden.

Tang Li continued, "It seems not everyone is like me, even though I’ve left, I can still return here when I open my eyes. I hate everything about the Lai Family, but someone told me not to be blinded by hate, he said I was still young, he thought I should grow up carefree."

"Actually, I am already grown-up, am I not?" she said, slightly curving her lips: "If you were still here, would you also object to me liking a man more than a decade older than me?"

"Perhaps in your adult eyes, this is an immature thought, a momentary impulse, so he only sees me as a junior. If he didn’t know you, he probably wouldn’t spare me a second glance. He’s so busy, yet willing to reply to my messages and call me, should I not continue to bother him?"

Under the sunlight, the mountain breeze brushed her cheeks.

Looking at her mother’s tombstone, Tang Li slowly started, "But for me, it seems a bit difficult, apart from you, he’s the first to be so kind to me, even if it’s because of you."

The mariposa lilies on the steps swayed their stems and leaves in the wind.

As the sun set in the west and the horizon blushed.

Tang Li stood up, her gaze returning to the tombstone: "I initially wanted to take you back to Diannan, but the right opportunity hasn’t come yet. I have found someone and also a place; I’ll come again tomorrow, and then I will take you away from Fengqing Garden."

The next day, the people Tang Li hired took the urn out of the stone tomb.

Tang Li didn’t go back to school.

She packed Tang Yin’s urn into her bag and took the long-distance bus to Qingyang City.

At half past two in the afternoon, Tang Li arrived at the foot of Fengyang Mountain.

The winding path paved with bluestone bricks could only be ascended on foot, and she looked up to see the temple hidden at the mountain peak.

Along the way, Tang Li encountered hardly any pilgrims.

It seemed there were very few people visiting here.
