Chapter 432 - 432: Acknowledgment, Announcement, and Who is Laughing Now (2)



They knew that Nian Tingchu had come to acknowledge kinship with Si Fuqing.

Feng San remained silent.

Miss Si’s online friends were no ordinarypeople.

How come this seemingly ordinary uncle didn’t seem like an ordinaryperson either?

In the hotel, Si Fuqing was embroidering a grand landscape of rivers and mountains.

Suddenly, the door was thrust open.

Nian Tingchu staggered a few steps inside, failing to steady himself, he collapsed to the ground.

His lips moved, his throat as if blocked, he managed, “Qingqing…”

Si Fuqing froze on the spot.

She had only met Nian Tingchu twice.

Yet, it was clear that pride was innate to him.

He would bend but never break.

But now, he cried like a child.

Everything was painfully clear.

Si Fuqing slowly exhaled, her hand trembling for the first time.

She stepped forward, bent down, and helped Nian Tingchu up, her voice soft,

“Uncle, don’t cry.”

“I’m not crying, I’m not crying.” Nian Tingchu vigorously wiped his tears, “It’s a good day, I shouldn’t cry. Qingqing, I’m your uncle, I really am your uncle!

Hahaha, I have a niece now!”

Despite his laughter, tears continued to stream down his face.

“Look at you, crying in front of the child, ” Ye Zhenmian followed in, chiding,

“You’ve frightened the child.”

Si Fuqing looked up at the woman, “Auntie.”

This address broke through Ye Zhenmian’s defenses, tears falling instantly,

“Yes, I’m your auntie, Qingqing, you’ve suffered so much over the years…” Nian Tingchu took a tissue, murmuring, “And you have the nerve to talk about me.”

“So, my parents…” Si Fuqing reached into her pocket, her arm trembling along with her hand. She paused, her voice sounding alien to her own for the first time, “They’re really gone?”

Silence fell upon them.

Nian Tingchu’s expression darkened, his hands clenched his trousers, his voice rough, “Yes, there was an accident, I’m sorry. If only I had realized sooner…’

His hand trembled as he pulled out an old pocket watch from his pocket.

“This was your father’s belonging, Qingqing, I’m truly sorry.”

Si Fuqing silently clasped the pocket watch.

Feeling the uneven patterns rub against her palm.

Inside was a young photo of Nian Hechuan.

The youth was spirited and bold.

Si Fuqing stared into his eyes, as if by doing so, Nian Hechuan was still alive, smiling at her.

Humans are strange creatures.

Though she had never met Nian Hechuan, the blood connection wildly surged within her.

Pounding against her chest time and again.

“Uncle.” After a long silence, Si Fuqing looked up, her expression had calmed, betraying little, “May I have some time alone, please?”

Nian Tingchu’s lips moved, “Okay.”

“If there’s anything, talk to your uncle and auntie,” Ye Zhenmian couldn’t bear it, “We’re your family, even though..

Even though they weren’t from some grand family, unable to provide much in terms of resources.

But they would do their best.

Si Fuqing smiled faintly, “I know, Auntie.”

Ye Zhenmian led Nian Tingchu out and closed the door behind them.

The room was silent, time passed, and the sunlight slanted westward.

Yu Xiheng entered, finding such a scene.

The girl sat in front of the massive floor-to-ceiling window.

Hugging her knees, her chin resting on them.

She looked so small.

Sunlight fell on her back, casting a gentle golden glow.

Si Fuqing heard the sound.

Without looking up, she knew who it was and suddenly spoke, “Sometimes I wonder, am I destined to be alone?”

Ye Wanlan had died, Lu Qingning had died.

Reborn, she finally found relatives, but her parents were also gone. Death wasn’t scary to her, what was terrifying was everyone around her dying.

“Don’t be afraid, Qingqing,” said Ye Wanlan, “As long as we are alive, you won’t be alone.”

Si Fuqing lowered her head, hugging her knees.

But sister, you all have left.

In her previous life, at 24, Si Fuqing was invincible.

Because at the age of five, she met Ye Wanlan and Lu Qingning.

Thinking Ye Wanlan was still there, she learned music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

Thinking Lu Qingning was still there, she learned racing and boxing.

Night after night, she pushed herself to the limits in the abyss mode of “Eternity,” falling and rising to train again.

But what was the point of learning all these?

It wasn’t really about being invincible.

She just wanted to live on with Ye Wanlan and Lu Qingning..
