Chapter 260 Recognizing Ancestors and Returning to One's Origin
Chapter 260 Recognizing Ancestors and Returning to One's Origin
Uncle Feng stood in front of me and told me, "It's them."
Even with my suspicions, hearing Uncle Feng say that still made me nervously look at the two elderly people.
However, it makes sense that the old lady said I looked like her daughter.
Because their daughter is my mother.
It turned out that the people standing in front of me were my maternal grandparents.
Uncle Feng turned to the two elderly people and said to them with great certainty, "It's him, he is your grandson."
As soon as Uncle Feng finished speaking, tears streamed down Grandma's face. She stepped forward, grabbed my hand, and carefully examined my face.
His eyes were so complex, filled with love, regret, and hope.
My grandmother was actually looking at my mother through me; she was searching for traces of my mother on my face.
Perhaps it's because of our blood ties, but looking at them, I couldn't help but tear up.
Grandma gently patted my hand and said to Grandpa, "See, I told you he looks like our Mumu, and it turns out he really is our grandson."
Grandpa nodded repeatedly, patted my shoulder, his lips trembling uncontrollably, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Uncle Feng's eyes also reddened.
I wanted to comfort the two elderly people, but I couldn't utter a single word.
It was Uncle Feng who spoke up, saying, "It's not appropriate to talk here. Why don't we go to the room first?"
Only then did I lead the elders upstairs.
Grandma wouldn't let go of my hand the whole way.
When I entered my room, I pushed open the door and found several design drafts lying on the floor. My grandfather squatted down to pick them up and was somewhat surprised to see the signatures on them.
"It turns out that the famous designer King is actually our grandson. He's really talented!"
Although it was only their first meeting, the grandfather's pride was undiminished.
Receiving his affirmation made me feel as sweet as if I had eaten honey; it made me happier than receiving affirmation from anyone else.
After settling the three elders on the sofa, I turned around, but my grandmother wouldn't let me leave and grabbed my hand.
I gently patted her hand, and only then did Grandma let go.
I turned around and knelt down. My grandparents tried to pull me up, but I held them down and wouldn't let them get up.
Grandma choked back tears, "Child, what are you doing?"
Without saying a word, I kowtowed to my parents, even though they tried to pull me up.
But I just wouldn't have it, and I kowtowed to my grandparents several times in a row, until they were already sobbing uncontrollably.
Uncle Feng came over and pulled me up, making me sit on the sofa.
My grandmother came over and hugged me, sobbing uncontrollably. She kept calling my name, "Xiaotian," and my mother's name, "Mumu."
An indescribable desolation!
Although my grandfather was a man of few words, he too shed tears.
I finally called out "Grandpa, Grandma".
This can be considered my return to my ancestral roots!
Grandma was very emotional, and only gradually calmed down with the comforting words of Uncle Feng and Grandpa.
But she still held my hand and wouldn't let go, her eyes filled with tears.
"My dear grandson, you and your mother have suffered all these years!"
"Xiao Tian, my dear grandson, you can't leave us again!"
Grandma couldn't help but shed tears again when she mentioned her mother.
I understand their concerns.
The fact that my mother eloped with my father must have left my grandparents with indelible pain, which is why they are so worried that I will leave them.
I nodded. "Don't worry, I still have some things to take care of and will be staying here for a while longer."
"I'll stay at this hotel for now. If you need me, just come here."
"Okay, okay!" Grandma was relieved to see this.
Perhaps it's because of her age and the extreme emotional fluctuations, but my grandmother seems to be struggling to cope.
My place couldn't accommodate everyone, so I immediately called the front desk and booked a room for my grandparents next to mine.
Together, we took my maternal grandparents to live with us.
Even though we've recognized each other, we still feel somewhat unfamiliar with each other.
My maternal grandfather personally escorted my maternal grandmother into the bedroom, and then Uncle Feng and I left.
In the corridor, I opened the door, but Uncle Feng didn't come in; instead, he stood at the doorway and spoke.
Uncle Feng looked unusually relaxed. "Now that I've dealt with things concerning you and your grandparents, I can finally say goodbye to my worries."
"I'm leaving soon. Take good care of your grandparents. Call me if you're ever unsure about anything."
I nodded, and as Uncle Feng turned around, I called out to him.
"Uncle Feng, thank you for everything you've done for us!"
Uncle Feng paused for a moment, and when he turned around again, his eyes were red.
He waved at me and said, "I'm leaving."
I watched Uncle Feng leave. Our whole family has never been able to express our gratitude to Uncle Feng enough.
After I returned to my room, someone knocked on the door again shortly afterward.
I didn't expect it to be my grandfather standing outside the door, so I quickly welcomed him in.
I made tea for my grandfather and asked about my grandmother.
My grandfather told me, "Your grandmother isn't feeling well. She got too emotional today and got tired. She just fell asleep."
"She is content to have seen you in her lifetime."
I felt a mix of emotions I couldn't quite describe. I never imagined that someone as ordinary and simple as myself could bring such happiness to others.
I turned around and went upstairs to give the records I had brought back for them to my grandfather.
Grandpa treasured the record like a precious gem, carefully examining it for a while.
But I only had it for a moment before it was returned to me, and I was told...
"This is your mother's favorite record. If you want to understand your mother, starting with this record is a good choice."
It turns out it was something Mom liked.
No wonder the two elders were so sad and disappointed when they couldn't buy the record.
Fortunately, I managed to get it back for them.
By a twist of fate, it turned out to be a pretty good ending.
Since my grandfather said that, I didn't refuse and brought the record back. "Okay, I'll listen to it for a while and then send it back to you."
My maternal grandfather also strongly agreed.
When my grandfather picked up the tea I poured for him, his hands trembled slightly, but he was very happy. "I never thought I would be able to drink my grandson's tea in this lifetime. I can die without regrets."
I know my grandfather is happy, and I'm happy for him too.
My grandfather took a sip of tea and told me some things I didn't know.
"Don't blame us for some things. When Xiao Feng told us your identity, I immediately sent someone to investigate. I hope you can understand my feelings."
That's understandable.
According to Uncle Feng, my maternal grandparents were well-off, and over the years, many people had come to them and impersonated me.
There have been quite a few times over the years.
My grandfather probably did this because he was annoyed by those people. He went back to investigate me, probably just to confirm my identity.
Grandpa patted my hand, his voice choked with emotion, "I understand what happened to you. Grandma was here just now, so I didn't want to tell her anything and upset her."
"My child, you have suffered all these years."
