Chapter 159: Chapter 158: Past Events_1

The rain in the Capital made the ground exceptionally damp, laced with moisture in the air.

In a quiet mansion on the east side of the city, an elderly woman was coughing violently.

"Madam, are you alright?"

The housekeeper stepped forward to gently pat the old lady’s back, his face filled with concern.

The old lady wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and nonchalantly responded, "I am fine. I just caught a chill from being outside."

"Madam, it’s been fifteen years. If you truly miss the young lady, why not go to Haishi and see her?"

"No!"

Seeing the old lady’s previously pleasant face instantly drop, the housekeeper sighed in silence.

He really didn’t understand what the old lady was being stubborn about.

She always declared her intentions to sever the mother-daughter relationship, yet she bought up the entire street where her daughter once lived as soon as she left Haishi, and she still visited there every year.

She obviously cared so much about her daughter and granddaughter, yet always pretended not to.

And the young lady was no better. Fully aware of the old lady’s temperament, she hadn’t brought her child over to visit even after all these years.

Those mother and daughter were indeed a pair of enemies!

"Madam, even if you don’t care about your daughter, you must miss your granddaughter, right? So many years have passed; aren’t you curious about what she looks like now?"

Upon hearing the housekeeper mention her granddaughter, the old lady’s mood improved somewhat. She exhaled deeply and tenderly said, "Ling Ling should be twenty-five this year, shouldn’t she? Young girls at that age love to beautify themselves. I wonder what she likes. Lianyun, have Ah Yong buy some accessories and handbags that young girls would like and send them to Haishi. But remember, don’t let the girl know they are from me."

Hearing the old lady’s command, the housekeeper couldn’t help but suggest, "Madam, should I take care of that instead? Over the years, Young Master Yong has frequently sent gifts to both the young lady and the little lady, but he has not brought back any news about them. I am worried..."

Though he didn’t make his concerns explicit, the old lady understood what the housekeeper meant.

He was fearful that Hao Lian Yong was intentionally hiding information about her daughter and granddaughter.

Lianyun was someone she had brought over from her maternal family. Lianyun had been following her since her teenage years. Even though Lianyun was technically the housekeeper, she was closer than a sister to her.

Even though Hao Lian Yong was her adopted son in name but, if she were to compare the two, she trusted Lianyun more.

After a while, the old lady slowly nodded, "Alright, this task is yours!"

The housekeeper bowed to accept the commission and backed out of the room.

As the old lady, sitting in her rosewood chair, gazed into the hazy night, she couldn’t help but cough once more.

But this time, as she used her handkerchief again, she noticed a few traces of blood on it.

The old lady sighed at the sight of the blood-stained handkerchief, her body was not what it used to be!

If that girl did not return soon, she might not get to see her again!

...

Yan Ling had a dream that night. Perhaps it was because she was back in the Capital, she dreamt about the situation fifteen years ago when she and her mother knelt in the rain to bid farewell to her grandmother.

In the dream, she was like a bystander. She saw her mother pleading with Hao Lian Yong in the pouring rain to allow her one final meeting with her grandmother. She saw Hao Lian Yong brushing her mother off, saying her grandmother didn’t want to see them and they should never come again. She also saw her grandmother lying in bed, looking sickly, still mumbling her mother’s name even in her sleep.

She wanted to tell her mother not to leave; her grandmother needed her.

Yet, her mother held her hand and walked away from the mansion.

As she saw Hao Lian Yong’s sneaky, gloating smile behind them, Yan Ling woke up in fear...
