Fallen In Love: The Ceo Who Tamed Me

Chapter 407 - The Past Is In The Past

"That is because I blocked all the news about him and his real cause of death. Your father hated attention when he was alive. He never wanted his personal life or family to be exposed to the public by the media, that is why I blocked everything that would make his family be in the limelight after his death. That was the only way I could have thought of to protect you, your sister and ageing grandmother," Grandpa Li explained in a calm tone. Back then those who killed his beloved son, daughter-in-law and his son's best friend were running at large so how could he dare to expose how they died? For the safety of his grandsons and the daughters of his son's best friend, he could not take that risk.

"You are right when you said my dad hated the media. When we were kids, I can still recall vividly that he had always refused to take us to where he worked. Instead of inviting us to the city, he would rather visit us in grandma's place instead," Yang Zi said, smiling when she reminisced about the past.

Although her father hardly had time for them because of the nature of his work, she could still recall that he was a good and loving father. He was also a dutiful son. Each time he visited them, he always made sure to bring them souvenirs. He didn't always treat them like a father, but he treated and played with them as best friends. He and their grandmother was their everything and that was why life was a total mess after they left them in this cruel world..

"Yeah, your father was a jovial person. He was even more playful than my son. He did not see Feng and Chen as his friends' sons, but he treated them as his children. And because of this, Feng and Chen loved him so much," Grandpa Li said smiling on recalling the past.

"Because of the love Feng had for him, he was never himself when he lost the three most important people in his life. The pain was too overwhelming for a little boy of his age. He blamed himself for his death and I am sure he is still blaming himself right now," Grandpa Li relayed in a sad tone.

"I am not surprised to hear this and I am sure when he saved Yifeng from that blazing fire, he happily sacrificed his life for his sake. If I had learned about this secret when I never met my current mum, I would have gotten very furious and would have even wanted to kill Yifeng but I am not so sad hearing this. He sacrificed his life for a good course and he did it willingly so I don't see myself resenting anyone for his death right now," Yang Zi said in a calm tone.

"Yang Zi, I am glad you feel this way because these past years, I have resented myself for not taking care of you after your father and grandma's deceased. I blamed myself for your sister's death a lot...,"

"Grandpa, you have tried your best for us. I am sure that if it was not for you, my sister and I wouldn't have completed our high school. You gave us a roof to lay our heads when the bank ceased my Grandmother's house. If not for your intervention, I would have been prosecuted for my sister's murder...,"

"How did you know I did all these? Each time I offered my help to you and your sister, I always made sure that my name was hidden," Grandpa Li said, looking stunned to hear that his secrets has been undercovered.

"Grandpa, nothing can stay hidden forever. I have my unique way of finding things out," Yang Zi said as she beamed at him.

"You did all these in secret because you did not want us to feel as though you pitied us. Even my real family would not be able to do all you did for us so, there is no need to feel guilty towards me anymore. I am fine, the past no more hurts me anymore so let's all just move on, ok?" Yang Zi said as she forced on a smile to show him that she meant what she said.

Yes, it was sad to hear that their dad sacrificed his life for someone else without even stopping to think about how miserable their lives would be after his demise, she could not do anything about it. Her anger, pain or tears could not change the past so, why should she bother to cry? Besides all she has ever done in this lifetime was shed tears since the day she was given birth until this month, she was tired of crying. She is damn tired of being hurt.

The lady hiding listening to their conversation turned and walk away dejectedly when she heard all that Grandpa Li said.

"So, Yang Zi is actually0 butler Jin's daughter. No wonder Grandpa always supports her. Even though I was the one who was beside him all these years, I thought it was unfair to me that he chose to love a stranger more than me. I can't believe I was wrong about him all this while, she was never a stranger and he knew about this all along," Zhao Liying walked while talking to herself like someone who has gone crazy.

"If Feng learns about this secret I just discovered, I will never stand a chance of being together with him so before grandpa reveals the truth to him, I need to do something to make Feng despise her," Zhao Liying concluded, as she shook her head affirmatively.

Back in the room, Grandpa Li resumed talking again.

"Zi Er, I don't know what Feng did to you to make you break up with him, but all I can tell you is that love needs to suffer to burn even hotter," Grandpa Li said.

"You will understand what my words mean if you sit down to carefully think about it," Grandpa Li said, as he stood up from the couch.
