“You’re a member of the Ling family?” Ye Wanwan stared at Feng Xuanyi. “Wait no, isn’t your surname ‘Feng’?”
The man and Feng Xuanyi looked at each other with exasperated expressions.
“Miss Worriless, you lost your memory, so perhaps you don’t remember the affairs between the Nie family and the Ling family.” Feng Xuanyi sighed and promptly started explaining.
“Miss Worriless, the elderly sir of the Ling family is actually your paternal grandfather and the father of the current Patriarch Nie.”
Ye Wanwan was stupefied. Patriarch Nie…? Freaking… didn’t Patriarch Nie have the surname “Nie”? How was he related to the Ling family?!
“Back then, after your maternal grandfather, who was the previous head of the Nie family, became the President of the Martial Arts Union, he passed on the Nie family to your mother. The Nie family and the Ling family used to be the greatest enemies in the Independent State, and Elderly Sir Ling and your grandfather were like water and fire. The Ling family and the Nie family had all sorts of battles and scuffles…”
Ye Wanwan remained silent and intently listened to Feng Xuanyi.
“After your mother inherited the Nie family, she fell in love with one of Elderly Sir Ling’s sons… When your grandfather learned of this, he was thunderous with rage and employed all sorts of methods and schemes to destroy the marriage between the Ling family and the Nie family. However… they didn’t work.
“As for your father, to express his sincerity, he separated from the Nie family of his own volition and even changed his previous Ling surname into Nie…” Feng Xuanyi quietly said.
“…” Ye Wanwan never expected her parents to have had such a world-shaking story.
“When your grandfather saw that the rice was cooked, he completely broke all ties with the Nie family in his rage and prohibited anyone from mentioning his relationship with the Nie family,” Feng Xuanyi continued.
A piece of memory started replaying in Ye Wanwan’s mind.
An elderly man carrying a crying little girl and telling the girl her dad and mom didn’t deserve to be parents…
Ye Wanwan finally understood why her grandfather was so angry.
It made sense. The son of his eternal enemy married his daughter, and his daughter gave his Nie family away. No one else would be able to tolerate it either probably.
“When Miss Worriless was young, your grandfather took you away to raise you to punish your parents and prohibited you from returning to the Nie family to see your parents. It wasn’t until you were grown up, Miss Worriless, that you returned to the Nie residence several times and lived there for some time,” Feng Xuanyi said.
“I see…” Ye Wanwan nodded lightly.
No wonder. Feng Xuanyi was clearly a member of the Ling family but charged his Ling surname to Feng after going to the Nie family. It was because the relationship between these two families was too unusual.
Right now, the Ling family also didn’t recognize Patriarch Nie, which meant they had cut all ties with Patriarch Nie too.
But the Ling family was greatly concerned about her and Nameless Nie or else the elderly sir wouldn’t have sent Feng Xuanyi to Nameless Nie’s side.
“Worriless, is there… news of your grandfather?”
The man turned to Ye Wanwan and inquired moments later.
Ye Wanwan shook her head. “I’ve completely forgotten about that segment of memory… I don’t even know how Grandpa went missing.”
“Alright, let’s not mention this for the time being. Ever since the elderly sir learned you came back to the Independent State, he’s been very excited and elated and has been waiting for you to visit the Ling residence,” the man said.
“Uncle Ling… When I have time, I’ll definitely visit…” Ye Wanwan promised after some thought.
