Chapter 465 - 446: That Day, That Boy-II
Li Lian knew sooner or later this will come to light though she hoped it wouldn’t be in this situation that she revealed this information about her part as it would make it seemed like she had withhold this information out of shame or fear of being unaccepted.
"Does Jun Wei know this?" asked Elder Li who composed himself much faster than Madam Li.
Li Lian promptly nodded her head, "I know you deserve an explanation grandfather, grandmother and I’m sorry for hiding it to you. I had planned to soon tell you about my past but I wasn’t very comfortable about it and Jun Wei told me that he would wait until I am ready. When I was young, I was kidnapped. My parents tried to find me to no avail which then lead me to be shipped to Japan. A kind man took me in as his granddaughter and that person is the head of Ryouma Clan, my grandfather."
Madam Li was shocked in many ways that her lips can’t close until she shook her head and said, "I’m sorry Li Lian," and Li Lian feel her heart sink down to her stomach. She had felt being thrown away and casted multiple times but she wondered if all that time hit her more than now.
Madam Li then looked at her husband as if they were exchanging a conversation before speaking which had Li Lian to raise her face, "We are also hiding a truth from both you and Jun Wei. When we learned that you are the granddaughter of Ryouma Clan. I was surprised but also a little disappointed and fearful," said the woman with honesty. "The fear in me and disappointment isn’t because that you came from Ryouma Clan. We do fear Yakuza but we trust you more."
"Grandmother," Li Lian called, pulling a smile better from earlier. "Thank you, your words meant a lot to me. When my parents found out about my past, they didn’t take it too kindly which why I am grateful that you two had kindly accept my past."
Elder Li frowned but on Xie Couple’s action, "No matter how fearful one is to Yakuzas, how could they use that an excuse to hate others? We don’t mind about your past. Jun Wei chose you and we know there is a reason behind his choice. Everyone have a past or two where they did things they won’t be proud to talk again but that’s what human is, we make mistake and we learned from it."
Grateful, Li Lian felt a burden on her shoulders have been lifted up with Elder and Madam Li’s acceptance, but she couldn’t point out their expression that was complex. Upon recalling what Madam Li, Li Lian questioned, "What is it that you two are hiding from Jun Wei?"
Madam Li pulled a deep breath, saying, "One could never guess fate is like an arrow that came from one point and stopped at the same point. That day we separated you two but I see how I shouldn’t have done it."
"Separate?" Li Lian wondered why they were speaking as if Jun Wei and her had met before. As Li Lian keep more thought in her mind, something dawned in her. "How long ago are you speaking about this?"
