Chapter 588 Foster Care

“Needless to say, Grandma fired that helper when she found out. That night, she slept with me. She told me that my biological grandmother left me because she had no other choice; it wasn’t because she didn’t want me. Grandma said that because she and my grandmother were good friends like Brother Chen and me, my grandmother was assured to leave me there. At that time, I had a puppy that I really loved. Grandma used it as an example at that time. She asked me if I had to go out alone, who would I entrust the puppy to? I remember I said that I would entrust it to Brother Chen. Then, Grandma explained that even though I left the puppy with Brother Chen, it didn’t mean that I didn’t love the puppy.”

Jiahui nodded. “Grandma’s words really make sense. Moreover, she said it in a way that even a four-year-old child would understand.”

Cheng Che could not help but smile. “That’s right. Moreover, as soon as she used Brother Chen as an example, I understood immediately. Then, at that time, she told me that she would bring me to see my father when I was older. In fact, I didn’t feel the loss of not having a father. When Aunt Liang Zhen divorced Uncle Mu Qing, causing Aunt Liang Zhen to commit suicide, I felt even more certain that fathers were not important to me. Since Brother Chen no longer had a father, I was determined to accompany him.”

Jiahui sighed before she said with a smile, “Your relationship is really good.”

Cheng Che continued to say, “It was only when I turned 18 that Grandma sat me down and properly told me about my origin and biological family. First, it was because I was finally an adult. Second, it was because the relatives of the Mu family always had bad intentions and were trying to sow discord.”

“My biological grandmother’s surname is Cheng. Back then, due to my grandfather’s betrayal, she left the house. My mother was adopted and raised by my grandmother, and she grew up with my father. She was worried about my grandmother so she left with my grandmother. At that time, she was heavily pregnant and was about to give birth. She thought she would be able to persuade my grandmother to return to the family.”

“No one expected that my grandfather’s lover would play tricks. She found someone to get rid of them. Out of shock, my mother gave birth prematurely. She bled so much that she eventually passed. With that, my grandmother completely severed her ties with my grandfather. She told them that I was her grandson and I had nothing to do with the Yin family.”

“After that, she left me with the Mu family and disappeared. Grandma told me not to blame her. My biological grandmother felt responsible for my mother’s death, and whenever she looked at me, she would be reminded of my mother and her failed marriage. To her, I was a constant torment to her conscience. Grandma understood my biological grandmother’s decision to leave and hoped that I’d be able to forgive my biological grandmother.”

Jiahui was stunned after listening to Cheng Che. After a moment, she regained her senses and asked, “Then, do you forgive her?”

Cheng Che’s eyes looked a little empty. After a long time, he said in a low voice, “Jiahui, don’t you think this story is too melodramatic?”

Jiahui thought about it for a moment before she said, “If you think about it from your grandmother’s perspective, it’s true that she was in great pain. However, no matter what, you were innocent. It’s not been easy for you, Cheng Che.”

Jiahui felt distressed for Cheng Che.

Cheng Che shook his head slightly and said, “It’s not difficult for me. With Grandma around, I grew up without worries until now. My life has been smooth sailing. I studied without worrying about anything. Compared to sister-in-law who struggled with her tuition fees and living expenses, I lived a really good life. I studied, went abroad, and worked in the Mu Group. Just like those people in the Mu family who didn’t like me said, they were not even treated as well as I was treated.”

Jiahui said, “That’s because you’re outstanding! Those people are just jealous of you!” After thinking about it for a moment, she said, “It’s true that you’re lucky because you have Grandma and Mu Chen. It has nothing to do with wealth, but love. They raised you with love. Children who are loved are very lucky. Look, weren’t you so lucky that you met me?”
