Chapter 1698: Chapter 1698 Unbearable to the Heart

"They say he only has to change his surname to be fine, and he can still be called Chushui. Calling him by any other name would feel strange to him."

Although Old Madam Yue had agreed at the time, didn’t it ultimately damage her dignity? After all, she was the matriarch of the Yue Clan, who would dare to disrespect her?

Therefore, in the past few days, Old Madam Yue hadn’t bothered with her grandson Yue Chushui anymore, adopting an out of sight, out of mind attitude.

"It’s just a name, right? You should change that name as well."

For the current generation of the Yue Family, the chosen character was ’Tian,’ but where was the character ’Tian’ in the three characters of Yue Chushui? No wonder Old Madam Yue was unhappy.

"A name isn’t something you can just change willy-nilly." Yue Chushui was, however, very adamant about his view.

Changing his last name was a must, something that had been decided upon when he was willing to return with Yue Chong. But the name Chushui itself, he would never change!

What if he changed his name, and then Sister Sangsang arrived at the Illusion Continent and couldn’t find him? What then?

"Cousin Tianying, my sister has been kind to me. I don’t want to change my name and make it impossible for her to find me later on," he said.

Hearing his words, Luo TianYing opened her mouth.

She wanted to say, how could anyone from the barren lands possibly come to the Illusion Continent? That was simply impossible.

But she thought it better not to say anything, lest it upset her cousin.

"Alright then, this has already been decided, and your grandmother has let it be. But from now on, you mustn’t go against your grandmother’s wishes anymore, she’s not someone to take lightly."

"Mhm."

Yue Chushui responded.

He didn’t plan on upsetting his grandmother for no reason, but there were some matters that he must stand firm on.

"Good that you understand, I’ll head back now, and come over tomorrow to take you out for a stroll. You haven’t finished buying all your things here, so we can purchase what’s missing tomorrow."

Luo TianYing glanced at the sky; it was time for her to return, so she left.

Watching Luo TianYing depart, Yue Chushui then turned and entered the yard before closing the gate behind him.

...

"How is the child doing?"

In another yard, Old Madam Yue asked her nanny.

"Replying to the Old Madam, after the Eldest Young Master sent the servants away, all washing and cooking has been done by his own hands, and the nanny sees that he manages quite skillfully," the nanny reported back to Old Madam Yue.

"Old Madam, in my opinion, the Eldest Young Master didn’t mean to embarrass you that day. He’s still young, and probably just struggled to adapt to his new identity. I hope you don’t hold it against him," the nanny pleaded.

The nanny had visited that courtyard earlier and saw Yue Chushui all alone, which made her feel a pang of pity.

"You may go."

Old Madam Yue waved the nanny away, and after watching her leave, she sighed softly.

As if she’d be angry with her grandson over such a trivial matter.

Moreover, her grandson didn’t want to change his name to spite her; he cherished the old affections of the family that had raised him. Wasn’t that understandable?

She wasn’t like her son who was so devoid of humanity.

Thinking the son he had found would sever all ties with his past, her son then could only look up to his father alone.

Reflecting upon this, how had she managed to raise her son to be thus?

"Alas!"

Sighing once again, she felt a profound sense of helplessness in her heart.
