Rebirth: Pampered Wife's Counterattack

Chapter 685: The Long Family’s Third Son Married Out Of The Family

Bai Qinghao nodded lightly in agreement. However, he could not help but worry. Mother Fang Lilan’s body had been buried in the Fang family’s villa for nearly eight years. Would Xinxin feel afraid returning there?

However, she will be marrying out of her family tomorrow. It was necessary for her to go from the Fang home to enter the Bai home.

When Long Jinyuan heard these words, a hint of surprise flashed past his face. “Xinxin, your father is hospitalised in the room next door?”

Bai Jingrou’s heart jumped in fright at his question.

“That’s right, Grandfather Long.” Fang Xinxin’s expression was serious. “My father suffered a stroke five years ago and went into a coma. The chances of him waking up is very low.”

Long Jingyuan held his walking stick to stand. “Let’s go. I’ll take this opportunity to visit your father.”

Truly, the very thing you fear will always come! Bai Jingrou’s heart nearly slammed out of her chest. She spoke somewhat unhappily. “Grandfather, it’s late at night. You must be tired. You should go home and rest early.”

“It won’t be too late to leave after visiting Father Fang.”

“Alright then.” Bai Jingrou wanted to try harder to stop him. However, Bai Qinghao was an extremely intelligent man. It would be bad if he noticed something amiss.

Still, she absolutely could not allow Long Jingyuan to see Long Yifan!

Fang Xinxin wanted to refuse him. However, after considering that he had good intentions, she agreed. “Ok then, Grandfather Long, please follow me.”

Bai Jingrou supported Long Jingyuan out of the hospital room as he asked Fang Xinxin. “What’s your father’s name?”

“My father’s name is Long Yifan.” Fang Xinxin comfortably replied.

“Oh?” Long Jingyuan’s grey brows lifted. “Your father also has the surname of Long? In that case, he shares the same ancestors as my Long family. Why isn’t his surname Fang?”

Fang Xinxin was not embarrassed to tell him. “Um… My father married into the Fang family. He became a son-in-law living in his wife’s family, so I naturally took my mother’s surname.”

When Long Jingyuan heard this, he became extremely angry. His sudden anger caused his old body to tremble.

Speaking of which, it had been twenty-seven years ago. Back then, his third son, Long Xuan, had fought with his family over a woman and eloped with that woman!

He even declared that all his future children would take on that woman’s surname!

This event had angered him to death! That son of his had thrown away the faces of all eighteen generations of their ancestor. At the time, he immediately declared that he did not have a son like this. He even told Long Xuan to never return home, and to take it as though the Long family never had a child like him.

After that, the rebellious child truly disappeared for twenty-seven years. When Jingrou came to meet him, she said that he had passed away from an illness and that his body was buried in a graveyard outside the city. Even the hair used for the DNA test had been retrieved right before he passed.

He had been to the graveyard to visit that unfilial child who had thrown his own family away for a woman. At the time, he had reprimanded him loudly for dying and for leaving a white-haired old man to send his children away.

Back then, he had been stubborn and felt that he could survive losing a useless son like Long Xuan.

However, he never expected that the Long family’s lineage would end up in such a pitiful state. Today, they could only rely on Long Xuan’s only child, Bai Jingrou, to further the Long family’s bloodline.

“What’s wrong, Grandfather Long?” Fang Xinxin noticed that he was upset.

Long Jingyuan returned from his thoughts and sighed. “It’s nothing. I merely recalled something unhappy from the past.”

“It’s all in the past. Please cheer up. I hope you won’t be too upset about it anymore.” Fang Xinxin comforted him.

“That’s right. I’m no longer upset about it.” In truth, Long Jingyuan had regretted this matter a long time ago.

If he had the opportunity to go back in time, no matter how upset he was, he would never have chased Long Xuan out of his home.

So what if he was a useless son? At the end of the day, wasn’t he still his son?

He once posted a declaration in the newspaper in an attempt to look for Long Xuan. He had hoped he would return to the Long family after seeing it.
