75 Severed

In Grandma Su's bedroom, Shen Tianyun sat opposite Grandma Su who seemed to lost in her thought at this moment. After meeting with the superstar Su Meiyin, Shen Tianyun had a huge conflict in his heart.

Normally, this should be a good chance for him to manipulating Su family and squeeze out the most profits from them but he was entangled in a complicated emotion whether he should take advantage or let this chance go.

Furthermore, he was quite sure that Su family probably won't get in his way in the future. Not to mention that he had to woo Su Meiyin, if he were to do anything on Su family, there were possibilities to create a rift between him and Su Meiyin in the near future.

"… What do you think?" Grandma Su asked in a serious voice.

After hearing the story of her father and her younger brother from Su family, her heart was shaken violently. She was ignorant of this family matter since she left, now, when she heard about her father had died tragically because he wanted to take her back and tried to revenge for her. As they say 'Blood is thicker than water' as a daughter, how could she not feel any pain?

Shen Tianyun was puzzled for a bit, he wasn't sure what Grandma Su wanted to say, "I'm fine with any of your decision. Whether Grandma wanted to go back or stay out of it, I have no problem with it."

"What choice do you think it would benefit you?" Grandma Su asked again with expressionless. She had a look of strong determination on her face.

When Shen Tianyun hearing this, his expression changed greatly. He finally understood the meaning behind her question.

Seeing Shen Tianyun fell into silence, Grandma Su smiled faintly, "I think it's time for us to talk about it. We should stop lying to ourselves." She paused and observed Shen Tianyun for a moment before she continued, "You are not my grandson. He is already dead. What left in our hearts is nothing but an illusion. You might have familial feeling towards me because you inherited my grandson's memory, I also have a little bit feeling towards you because you're in my grandson's body." Her voice was very stern and her expression resembled the old day when she was a peerless genius in the past.

Shen Tianyun was startled as he didn't expect Grandma Su would say it in this direct manner. Since the day he told her about his transmigrated incident, he knew that she was already treated him as someone who took her grandson's body. As for why she didn't fuss over it, it was because she still needed him for her revenge.

No matter how much he wanted to avoid this topic, he knew this day would eventually come at the end of the day. He had to admit that a once gentle Grandma Su in front of him was nothing but a mere illusion that he wanted to see.

Shen Tianyun let out a long sighed, the conflict in his heart gradually vanished along with his trouble expression, the light in his eyes dimmed slightly, "We will do as Miss Su said." He said nonchalantly as he changed the way to call her. At this moment, both of them were officially stepped back in their relationship and turned to be the acquaintance.

Shen Tianyun's words were like a knife stabbed directly in Su Qianxue's heart. Her hands under the table trembling involuntarily. People would find it laughable, she was the one who decided to do this yet she was the one who ended up feeling pain.

Su Qianxue took a deep breath to calm herself before she asked, "Earlier, you probably thinking about whether you should take advantage of Su family, right?… Since we are no longer family, what about it now?"

Shen Tianyun shook his head slightly, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to your family. Also, I think you should go back to your family. Your brother must be very anxious and looking forward to your return. You won't get anything from staying here anyway." His voice was void of emotion as if he was a robot.

The pain in Su Qianxue's heart grew further when she saw his appearance right now. A small place somewhere deep down in her heart was still treated him as her only family. It was the feeling that she had accumulated for over 17 years, she couldn't possibly get over it in a short time despite she had prepared for this moment beforehand.

Su Qianxue nodded her head slightly, "Why are you still want to fight with Lin Ming? We are no longer a family now, there shouldn't be a reason for you to fight with him right?"

Shen Tianyun stared emotionlessly into her eyes, "Miss Su, why have you suddenly become naive? Or perhaps, you want to ask me 'are you going to stop fighting with my enemy now?' am I correct?"

Su Qianxue was stunned, she suddenly realized how foolish her question was. She was still muddle-headed from the chaos emotion and subconsciously asked that question out. What Shen Tianyun said was right, she wanted to ask him whether he still wanted to fight with her enemy or not, because, without him, she couldn't possibly fight them alone even with the support from Su family.

Without waiting for her to say anything, Shen Tianyun said further, "Since Lin Ming wanted my life, I can't possibly stay still and waiting for him to kill me right?… as for Zhao and Lan family, don't worry, I'll take care of them too. In the future, I will have to confront them anyway. You can think as this is my compensation for possessed your grandson's body."

A silence descended, no one was willing to say anything for a while until Shen Tianyun stood up and prepared to leave. Standing in front of the door, he turned to look at Su Qianxue deeply and said, "Although I said I won't do anything to your family, if they were to stand in my way, I won't hesitate to destroy them. You should understand, right?… Also, you can tell anyone about my secret as you please, I don't mind about it." Following that, he turned around and walked out of the room leaving the trembling Su Qianxue behind.

…

Creak!

The door of Shen Tianyun's bedroom slowly opened, revealed a beautiful figure, Lin Xueyue behind it. She walked into the room and immediately saw Shen Tianyun stood by the window. His eyes gazed to the distance far away. She could feel the lonely and melancholy aura emitted from his body. At this moment, he looks so lonely as if he was isolated from this world.

Seeing his appearance, Lin Xueyue's heart clenched up, she could perceive a pain in his heart. She had already expected something like this to occur thus, she decided to stay here at Liu family's house for today.

Lin Xueyue slowly approached Shen Tianyun and hugged him tightly from behind, her face leaned against his back as she closed her eyes without saying anything. Shen Tianyun didn't need to turn around to confirm the identity of her as he immediately recognized Lin Xueyue from her natural body scent.

Both of them stayed silently in this position for a while before Lin Xueyue asked softly, "What is your decision?"

Shen Tianyun still didn't turn around, "I will send her back to her family and also I won't take advantage of Su family… I don't want to get into trouble in the future since I have to get that Su Meiyin. From her actions today, I can see that she really loves her family."

Lin Xueyue didn't give him any reaction, she stayed silent for a while after listening to him. A brief moment later, she said softly, "You have me."

Only one sentence from her, it was as if a tidal wave had washed away the sorrow in Shen Tianyun's heart clean. He turned around to take a look at his beloved woman who always stand by his side. Love, affection appeared in his eyes.

"Thank you, Yue'er… Perhaps, I am destined to have no family. Whether it was the previous life and now." Shen Tianyun caressed Lin Xueyue's cheek gently, "Since I have no family, I will build one myself. I have you, I have Yan'er. No matter what happened in the future, both of you will always be my family… my only family." His voice was very soft and gentle yet filled with a strong determination. He had finally resolved himself on this matter.

A beautiful and charming smile appeared on Lin Xueyue's lips, her face full of happiness and tenderness, "Mhm, I will always be with you." She said softly, this was her pledge, the pledge of eternal love from the two lifetimes.

Shen Tianyun lowered his head and imprinted on Lin Xueyue's soft lips. There was no tongue playing, it was a normal kiss yet filled with love and passion. It could blend their heart and soul into one.

Creak!

At this moment, Liu Feiyan opened the door and walked into the room. She didn't know what was going on inside the room as she spoke, "Hubby, Big Sis… AH!" It was the next moment when she saw the romantic scene in front of her, she was cried out loud. Her voice broke a romantic moment between Shen Tianyun and Lin Xueyue, both of them turned to look at Liu Feiyan.

"S… sorry! You two can go on!" Feeling their gaze, Liu Feiyan became stutter, she wanted to run away as soon as possible.

Seeing Liu Feiyan was about to run away, Shen Tianyun grinned with a whoosh, his figure reappeared behind her and he immediately lifted her body up.

"Where are you going, Yan'er?… tonight you have to sleep with me and your Big Sis." Following that, Shen Tianyun blew hot air on her ear caused Liu Feiyan's body shivered, her face flushed red instantly. She didn't dare to look at his face and buried her face into his bosom.

Shen Tianyun brought her to the bed and turned to Lin Xueyue, "Come, Yue'er. This is the first night we sleep together as a family."

Lin Xueyue didn't reject him and obediently moved to his side on the bed. That night was the most peaceful night for Shen Tianyun. That night was the beginning of his new journey, a new goal, and a new path.

…

"Good morning, Grandma, Auntie." The next morning, Shen Tianyun appeared in the dining room. He greeted Fang Yulan and Su Qianxue as usual. His acting was so perfect, there was no way for Fang Yulan could detect a change in the relationship between Shen Tianyun and Su Qianxue.

Fang Yulan greeted him back with a nod and offered a cup of coffee for him. Meanwhile, Su Qianxue's hand trembled for a second before turned back to normal, she smiled warmly back at him as if there was nothing happened on the last night. She seemed to recollect herself very fast.

"Auntie Fang, I and Grandma have something to tell you." Shen Tianyun said after took a sip on his coffee.

Fang Yulan's brows perked up slightly, "Mhm, what is it?"

Following that, Shen Tianyun briefly narrated about Su Meiyin and Su family to her. The more Fang Yulan heard about it, the more her fact became elated.

"Isn't that great? With protection from Su family, you don't have to fear Lin Ming anymore." Fang Yulan said excitedly. She felt truly happy for both of them.

Shen Tianyun only gave her a faint smile in reply. He didn't plan to grab a hold on Su family's thighs and he even felt troublesome from it since he needed to go there and pretend to be a good descendant from Su family.

"Then what about this Autumn festival? Isn't that mean Tianyun and Grandma Su can't go with us anymore?" Liu Feiyan asked dejectedly. Half of it she was very happy for both of them at the same time she was slightly disappointed. Not to mention that superstar Su Meiyin, Liu Feiyan bared a hostility towards her a bit after listening to Shen Tianyun described her personality. It was as if Su Meiyin didn't put Shen Tianyun in her eyes at all, this made her become angry.

Fang Yulan nodded her head and consoled her daughter, "Don't worry, our family is not that far from Su's manors. You can go there if you want, I don't think they will stop you from entering since you are Tianyun's girlfriend. Also, even though they are more powerful than our Fang family, they should give your Grandpa some faces, after all, we have a good business relationship with them."

Liu Feiyan's eyes lit up, her dejection seemed to vanish instantly. She turned to look at Shen Tianyun and smiled happily.

A brief moment later, Shen Tianyun asked curiously, "Auntie, can you tell me about the situation in Beijing? I want to know about the powerful family besides those martial families."

Fang Yulan smiled slightly, "Mhm, I think it's time for you to know about it. Besides those martial families, there are totally 13 powerful families. You can classify them as a merchant family, political family, and military family."

"The merchant family is referred to the family who focused heavily on business and amass their wealth. Besides Lin, Liu, and Fang family, there are Song, Cang, Feng, and Dong family. My Fang family is quite special because we also focus on the political side too." Listening to this point, Shen Tianyun nodded his head in understanding. He once heard from Liu Feiyan that Fang Yulan's older brother, Fang Wuji is also in the position of secretary state, similar to Lin Ming. Perhaps, for this reason, Lin Ming didn't act rashly towards Fang Yulan despite he had several chances to do so.

Fang Yulan continued, "For the political family, there are a total of 4 of them. Murong, Wu, Mo, and Pan family. Among them, Murong and Wu family always compete with each other. As for the other two, they are laying low for a decade now, I don't know about them much… Oh, your producer, Mo Yuyan is also come from this Mo family."

Shen Tianyun was surprised slightly when he heard this. It was no wonder why people seemed to hold high respect and fear towards her.

"The last two military families are Qiao and Huo family. As far as I know, Qiao family seemed to have a good relationship with the Yang family. I don't know about it much, you should ask your Granduncle Su about it later. He should know more than me." Fang Yulan said calmly. She lifted her coffee cup to moist her throat afterward. After that, she began to talk about the relationship between these major families and also some notable families that were outside of those she had mentioned earlier.

"Thank you, Auntie Fang." Shen Tianyun smiled brightly. Now, he had a vague idea of what was going on in Beijing.

Fang Yulan shook her head slightly indicating that it was nothing. All of them had an idle chatter for a while before Shen Tianyun and the group went to the school afterward.
