"Auntie, I am ng Po, the disciple of my ntor. I've been learning from him all along. It's a pleasure to et you," ng Po said to Ruan Ling.
Hearing ng Po speak such fluent Fla Country language, Ruan Ling was taken aback, thinking she must have heard wrong.
"Your Fla Country language is so good!" Ruan Ling exclaid in surprise.
ng Po smiled slightly, "It's because my ntor taught well."
Hearing this, Ruan Ling broke into a smile, feeling proud of her son's capabilities.
"Let's sit down and talk," Yang Chen said to everyone.
Everyone sat down, and Ruan Ling still held Yang Chen's hand, unwilling to let go. Yang Chen had no choice but to sit beside her.
Ruan Ling's gaze stayed fixed on Yang Chen, not moving an inch, as if afraid that if she looked away, Yang Chen would disappear.
Yang Chen hesitated for a mont, then looked at the director and said, "Director, you can tell about the past now. Although I've never asked before, it's ti I knew."
The director nodded slowly, thought for a mont, and looked at Fu Zhou.
Fu Zhou sighed and said to Yang Chen, "Let tell it."
Yang Chen nodded slightly, looking at Fu Zhou.
Fu Zhou began slowly, "Our hotown is Shilong Village. Back during the war, it was the bigshots who invited your grandfather out of the mountains, much like the story of the three visits to the cottage. Later, people called your grandfather Master Yang. After the victory in battle, your grandfather played a significant role. Later, I heard that your grandfather specifically continued the dragon vein, thereby continuing the national fortune; and he always said he wouldn't live past fifty years old."
"He said it was against the will of heaven to reveal divine secrets. After the founding of the country, he retreated to the background, no longer involving himself in political matters. Even if they asked your grandfather, he wouldn't respond."
"Then later..." Fu Zhou glanced at Wei Xueqing and ng Po, hesitated a bit, and continued slowly, "Elder Ye was injured and retreated to Ningchuan to recuperate, having a very good relationship with your grandfather. That's how you and the little princess of the Ye family got engaged as kids."
Ruan Ling, hearing this, couldn't help but glare at Fu Zhou, feeling that it was inappropriate for him to ntion this with two young won present.
However, Ruan Ling also felt a sense of regret.
After all, an alliance with the Ye family would have been very beneficial for Yang Chen.
Unfortunately, such an opportunity was missed.
"Later, the old immortal on the mountain was talked about as if he were a god. The bigshots went to the mountain to consult him, which led to the old poem about your destiny being circulated. That's when the Yang family started to face exclusion, and rumors spread that we were spies." Fu Zhou's expression grew somber.
"Later, Elder Ye's health wasn't good and they moved to Jin Chen; their whole family left. With the Ye family gone, we lacked support, so soone started to act against us. To protect us, your grandfather wrote a letter to the bigshots and sought the old immortal's help on the mountain. Through your grandfather's strategy, we found Uncle Qin. At that ti, people were already pursuing us—it was really hard for us. In the end, we had no choice but to leave you with Uncle Qin, planning to retrieve you once everything stabilized. Little did we know, it would be twenty years away."
"Later, once things stabilized, I went into business and made my first pot of gold. At that ti, we intended to return to Ningchuan to find you. However, with the changes of ti, we had no way to find you. Uncle Qin moved several tis to protect you, making it impossible to track you down. Those pursuing us were still in Ancheng, and we were almost discovered multiple tis, leaving us no choice but to leave Ancheng."
"All these years, we've never given up searching for you. I spent a fortune, sent countless people to search across the nation, but there was no news. Years flew by, and we were about to give up, unexpectedly eting you again. This is heaven opening its eyes, allowing our family to reunite!"
...
After finishing, Fu Zhou was moved to tears.
As the saying goes, n don't easily shed tears until they reach a point of deep sorrow.
For twenty years, Fu Zhou never had a peaceful night's sleep, always worrying about his child. The accumulated pain and longing of twenty years were finally released today, and he couldn't control his emotions.
Yang Chen furrowed his brows, noticing a crucial piece of information.
"You said the people tracking you are still in Ningchuan. Where? Who are they? Are they the ones who caused our family to be torn apart?" Yang Chen asked.
"This..." Fu Zhou looked troubled and turned to the director.
The director sighed, "It's all in the past now; there's no need to pursue these matters further. No one will harm you again, nor will anyone consider you a threat. Everything is over!"
Seeing their reluctance to ntion this, Yang Chen furrowed his brows tightly.
From this perspective, it was definitely not just the old leaders involved in these matters.
Yang Chen had his principles.
He would absolutely not forgive those who hard his family.
Since they didn't want to talk, Yang Chen didn't press further but still intended to investigate the truth himself.
Yang Chen looked at ng Po.
ng Po, who understood Yang Chen very well, nodded subtly, preparing to investigate the matter further.
All of this was clearly observed by Ruan Ling, as her eyes never left Yang Chen.
She saw the exchanged glances between Yang Chen and ng Po and was slightly surprised.
She was a woman accustod to facing the world and had experienced a heart-wrenching escape and had interacted with the powerful won of the Guard.
So she understood the aning behind these exchanged glances and read the intense chill in Yang Chen's eyes.
She knew Yang Chen did not intend to let this go easily and would surely investigate, even if he didn't ask now.
After all, it was their first eting after twenty years, and they had much to talk about.
By around twelve o'clock, they were still talking.
Wei Xueqing glanced at the ti and stood up, "Director, Uncle, Auntie, Yang Chen, it's getting late. Let's go to the restaurant and talk while we eat."
Zhou Huiqing had already arranged the place, so Wei Xueqing knew the schedule.
"Right, right! Let's eat first, let's eat!" Ruan Ling hurriedly said, "Our son hasn't eaten yet. Oh, go get that bottle of red wine you've been saving. We must celebrate properly today!"
Yang Chen's eyes lit up.
Such an old wine, over half a century old, greatly interested Yang Chen.
After all, he was a wine lover.
Thinking it over, Yang Chen also said to ng Po, "Go tell Zhao Feiyang to bring the best of the Ancheng collection here!"
"Yes!" ng Po nodded and imdiately went to prepare.
After all, having reunited with his parents, Yang Chen was not stingy and prepared to bring out the best stock Ningchuan had to offer.
