The granny specifically ntioned that the trainee had said this matter absolutely couldn’t be told to anyone. The granny kept her word, even keeping it from her deceased son, remaining tight-lipped about it. Yet, despite this, she told Gu Tong about it.
"..." Could it be that she doesn’t count as a person? How unjust, poking her fingers...
"But you’re now the little boy’s wife. I, as your grandma, feel you should know. If I don’t tell you, what if I leave this world one day? Then no one will ever know this matter."
The granny poured another glass of water for Gu Tong, harboring her own thoughts inside.
Regarding the matters of the neighborhood, the granny had a general understanding. She knew what kind of person Zhang Ma was. With such a good girl, Zhang Ma didn’t like her. She was even less likely to tell her daughter-in-law about the little boy’s real identity.
However, adoption is still adoption, not comparable to true blood relatives.
Moreover, the little boy’s family were martyrs, and they should have special treatnt deserved by them.
Thinking about it, during Qingming Festival, the martyr’s son didn’t even have a chance to pay respects to his father. Isn’t that too pitiful and tragic...
Being kind-hearted, the granny considered many things. After careful thought, she decided to tell Gu Tong, hoping to leave the decision to her.
"Thank you, Grandma."
Gu Tong wasn’t a fool. If she couldn’t understand the granny’s good intentions, then she would have truly lived in vain.
"Why thank ? We were just chatting."
The granny felt she was just speaking openly, mainly worried that Gu Tong would be deceived. That’s why she told her so truths, not sothing worthy of thanks, thus she didn’t say anything more.
"By the way, Grandma, do you rember what that trainee’s na was?"
Given the proximity to the academy, if it was a trainee, it should only be from their academy.
"I never heard the na, but it seed like the surna was Feng. He was dark-skinned, tall, with a long scar on his neck."
The granny tried hard to recall, suspecting that Gu Tong definitely wanted to use these clues to help the little boy at the ti to find his relatives.
However, just this conversation was enough to leave Gu Tong dumbfounded on the spot...
Her mind was like firecrackers exploding, recalling the granny’s words: dark-skinned, tall, with a long scar on the neck, and surna Feng...
Lieutenant General Feng Yi!
Gu Tiancheng’s deputy general!
Gu Tong’s godfather!
Besides him, no one else fit all the described conditions!
It was actually Godfather Feng Yi who brought Li Yan here. How could that be possible...
Gu Tong didn’t believe in the talk of a hero’s descendant, because she was in the academy and knew the rules of Ping Ge Academy well. Longxing Country highly valued the descendants of heroes. Even at the beginning of the country, when relatives were without kin, Longxing Country would accommodate and settle them.
Besides the due pension, future schooling arrangents, and job placents were all taken care of by Longxing Country, so there would be no random fostering situation.
If based on this explanation, then Li Yan’s identity must have other issues, and this identity layer was deliberately concealed by Feng Yi. Whether it was indeed Feng Yi who concealed it remains to be verified.
After all, he’s Gu Tiancheng’s deputy, and all arrangents must follow Gu Tiancheng’s instructions, leaving no room for acting on his own accord!
"Girl, what’s wrong? Girl..."
The granny called out to Gu Tong several tis, forcibly pulling her back to consciousness, her original thoughts all dissipated.
Gu Tong was startled, weakly uttered an "ah", and quickly said, "No, nothing... I was just thinking if I’ve been out too long, maybe my mother-in-law is looking for ..."
This explanation wasn’t far-fetched, and indeed held that possibility.
After all, Gu Tong had been out for a while, so Li’s mom might likely be anxious too.
The granny nodded, expressing her understanding, and said, "When you go out, turn east, there is Madam Zhao’s house. Girl, you just need to check, but don’t believe what she says, okay?"
Gu Tong was very grateful to this kind-hearted granny, smiled and bid her farewell, saying, "Grandma, rest assured."
