Chapter 1002: Death Is Not Frightening; Being Left All Alone Is
The cruise ship returned to port, and everyone gradually dispersed.Of course, Xia Yinian was still sharing a car with Gu Lingqian. Ever since she saw Uncle carrying Yu Wanqing in front of her, she hadn’t seen him again.
...
The annual Mid-Autumn Festival is a holiday for reunions.
Especially for the elderly at home waiting for their children and grandchildren to return, they long for this day to come, just like everyone else in the big family.
Because there are so many people in the family, making a reunion happen is more challenging.
Old Madam Gu was particularly happy today, and even her complexion looked much better.
She was busy all day, all for today’s reunion dinner and preparing food for the moon-viewing at night.
The young people were on vacation, and most of them went out to play. The old madam didn’t mind, as long as they remembered to come back tonight.
At around three in the afternoon, Mr. Two’s wife, Lin Jingyun, and Third Master’s wife, Guan Xiaoxue, came over to help out.
Even though there wasn’t much to do, keeping the old madam company and giving her some advice was good enough.
After five o’clock, everyone gradually returned, and the main house started to get lively.
When Xia Yinian and Gu Lingqian got home, it was around 6:15.
Knowing what day it was, of course, they wouldn’t come back too late.
On the way from the parking lot to the main house, Xia Yinian mostly maintained a calm demeanor.
Having dinner with them wasn’t the first time, so worrying too much was pointless.
"Nian Nian, there will be a few more people tonight." Gu Lingqian turned his head to look at the girl beside him.
"Who?" This remark was too familiar, and Xia Yinian couldn’t help but become a bit uneasy.
Seeing her in good spirits and her complexion improved, Gu Lingqian was also relieved.
"No one special, just Gu Family members." He slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
Gu Family members, and ones she hadn’t met before—she knew Mr., Mr. Two, Third Master, and Uncle.
So tonight, the people of Mr. Wu, Mr. Six will also be coming back.
After a moment of meditation, Xia Yinian softly asked, "Senior Feimo, is he..."
"He’s the son of Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt, but when Feimo was very young, they passed away unexpectedly." Gu Lingqian’s eyes were full of regret.
Xia Yinian nodded, she knew that Senior Feimo seemed to be without parents.
She understood Brother Ling Qian’s sigh, and even felt sorry for Gu Feimo’s situation.
Sometimes death is not scary; being left alone is what’s frightening.
Thinking of what Uncle said, Xia Yinian felt troubled inside too.
If her biological parents were gone, how did they pass away, and when did it happen?
With a light sigh, Xia Yinian blinked and suppressed her sorrow.
As she just turned her head, Gu Lingqian’s voice rang out again.
"What are you thinking about, Nian Nian?"
"Nothing." Xia Yinian pursed her lips. Instinctively, she didn’t want to trouble Brother Ling Qian.
Perhaps because she felt she owed him too much, she wasn’t sure if she’d have the opportunity to repay him.
Xia Yinian understood well that if she asked him to help investigate her family history, Brother Ling Qian surely wouldn’t refuse.
But she didn’t dare to ask, or rather, she was embarrassed to do so.
"By the way, what kind of people are Mr. Wu and Mr. Six? How old are they, and are they married?"
"Fifth Uncle is married and has a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, two kids who are thirteen years old and quite adorable. They’ve been abroad for the past few months and just came back today."
"Sixth Uncle is only a year older than Uncle and isn’t married yet." Gu Lingqian gently responded while patting Xia Yinian’s head.
