Chapter 654 Memento
"Chu Feng! What hap…" Yun Muqing, Yun Muyu, and Duo Duo came running out of the house. Their jaws dropped open wide as soon as they saw the carnage in the yard.
"Feng? Why were you fighting?" Yun Muyu looked aghast. She went up to Chu Tianxiong and said, "Hey, old man, I brought you to Feng just as you wanted, but I didn't ask you to demolish our house!"
Chu Feng frowned and glared at Yun Muyu. "You were the one who brought him here?"
"I… I happened to be coming home," Yun Muyu said frantically and quickly hid behind Yun Muqing.
To defuse the tension, Yun Muqing invited Chu Tianxiong and Weng Bo into the house.
Chu Feng and Chu Tianxiong sat opposite each other. For a very long time, none of them said a word.
Eventually, Chu Tianxiong broke the awkward silence.
"You're still pretty skilled. Looks like you've been training even after you left the military," he said.
Chu Feng said coldly, "Xi Ye is a barren place, and we are used to poverty. Unlike you, who lives in luxury and feasts every day."
Chu Tianxiong frowned. "Must you always argue with me?"
"Yes," Chu Feng said defiantly. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Weng Bo deliberately coughed a few times to ease the tension.
Yun Muqing quickly went up to Chu Tianxiong and served him a cup of tea. "Please have some tea, sir."
Chu Tianxiong's expression softened a little. He glanced at Yun Muqing and said, "You must be Muqing. I know a lot about you. You're an outstanding child. It must be hard for you to raise your daughter alone for five years."
"It's… It's nothing." Yun Muqing was surprised. She could already guess the relationship between Chu Feng and Chu Tianxiong.
She noticed that Chu Tianxiong had been observing Duo Duo, who was hiding behind her. A sudden realization hit her, and she brought Duo Duo in front of her.
"Duo Duo, why don't you greet your grandpa?"
Chu Feng frowned. He was not happy about it, but he did not stop her.
"Nice to meet you, Grandpa," Duo Duo said softly. Her adorable eyes were opened wide, and her hands clutched Yun Muqing's skirt out of fear.
"Nice to meet you." A smile appeared on Chu Tianxiong's face. He said gently, "I have a welcome gift for you, and I hope you like it."
He retrieved a jade locket with a tassel from within his robe. One could plainly see from its exquisite craftsmanship that it was something astonishingly rare.
Yun Muqing and Yun Muyu were shocked. Duo Duo's eyes widened with delight.
Chu Feng trembled. He recognized that the locket was handmade by his father and was given to him when he was a baby.
After his mother died, his relationship with Chu Tianxiong worsened, and when he turned seven, he abandoned everything behind him and left the house.
He didn't expect Chu Tianxiong to keep it even after 17 years…
Memories of the past overwhelmed him. He found it hard to process the multitude of feelings within him.
"Do you like it?" Chu Tianxiong said.
"I love it! Thank you, Grandpa!" Duo Duo smiled brilliantly.
