Chapter 1053: The Truth (1)
Dong Wenming arrived quickly, and not only did he come, but his wife from the Ya Family also came along, although they did not bring Dong Ruoqiu with them.
Madam Ya examined the appearance of the small building and the servants inside, her eyes twinkling; she had gained a deeper understanding of this niece she had not yet met.
"Xinxin..." Dong Wenming rushed in eagerly, looking at Yang Ruxin with anticipation, "Where is your mother?" He was desperate to reunite with his sister. When their mother passed away, she was filled with regret and even on her deathbed, she was yearning for her sister. They were supposed to visit their mother’s grave during the New Year, but they hadn’t gone back this year—it was all for this sister.
"She has learned the truth, and truth often proves too much for one to bear; hence, she needs time to think things through." Yang Ruxin smiled, "Lord Dong, Madam, please have a seat."
During Dong Wenming’s last visit, he hadn’t been able to enter the inner part of the small building, having been served in the sitting room of a side building. This time, upon entering the building, he noticed that the furnishings were all quite distinctive; even the chair he was sitting on was something he had never seen before. He promptly took a seat: "Xinxin, why are you still calling me Lord Dong?"
"It’s just a form of address," Yang Ruxin said with a smile, "Besides, shouldn’t it depend on what my mother thinks?" Referring to him that way indicated that the previous speculations had become reality, but today, it truly depended on the attitude of Xun Hui.
"Xinxin." Dong Wenming smiled wryly in resignation, "No one could have anticipated such circumstances... I wonder what you think of it all..."
"Me?" Yang Ruxin raised her eyebrows slightly, "My father has been dead for so many years; I don’t have much to say on the matter..."
Madam Ya opened her mouth to speak, but upon catching Dong Wenming’s glance, she immediately closed it.
