Chapter 561 Number One Expert In The Capital
“Son, your mother didn’t abandon you on purpose, you were taken away…” Chu Xuanyue said as she pounced towards Qin Haodong again. This time, he did not dodge. His resentment disappeared after knowing he wasn’t abandoned. The mother and son hugged each other and began to cry.
After rebirth, Qin Haodong lived as an orphan, never receiving any maternal love. At this moment, the strong familial affection touched him deeply.
Ye Qing stood on the side with misty eyes. After the two of them cried for a while, Ye Qing said, “Okay sister, a mother and son meeting each other is a happy occasion, so stop crying.”
“Xiao Qing is right. Stop crying, I will stop crying as well!”
Chu Xuanyue wiped the tears away from the corners of her eyes and stopped crying. She grabbed her son’s hand and refused to let go.
Qin Haodong glanced at the photo next to the headboard. He couldn’t help but ask, “Mom, who is my father? Where is he now?”
“Your dad is a member of the Qin family from the capital. His name is Qin Zongheng. I don’t know where he is at the moment,” Chu Xuanyue said, as the tears she had just stopped started to flow down again.
Qin Haodong asked eagerly, “Mom, how did dad disappear? How did I get lost? What on earth happened?”
Although he had found his mother, he noticed that there were still many mysteries about his life that needed to be solved.
“It’s a long story. I will tell you slowly…” Chu Xuanyue said, then she told him about her relationship with Qin Zongheng from the beginning to the end, when Qin Haodong was lost. Qin Zongheng ran away from marriage and left the Qin family, while she angrily left the Chu family.
Qin Haodong’s expression turned cold after he heard the story. What the Chu family did was too excessive. They actually believed the old Taoist Yuan’s nonsense and did not hesitate to kill their own grandchild.
Chu Xuanyue said, “Son, I have finished telling you my story. How have you been these years? Tell your mother.”
So, Qin Haodong told his story from when he was a child. Ye Qing and Chu Xuanyue sat next to him and listened quietly. They laughed together when something happy was mentioned, and wept together when something sad was mentioned.
After a long time, Qin Haodong finally told his entire story, all the way until he met Ye Qing.
“Son, It’s your mother’s fault. You’ve gone through so much all these years!”
Chu Xuanyue’s face was apologetic; she felt her heart ache at the thought of Qin Haodong’s hard life as a child.
“This is all in the past. It’s nothing.” Qin Haodong did not want to see his mother sad, so he changed the subject and said, “Mom, you are so beautiful, you must have been a famous beauty in the capital back then, right?”
Ye Qing said, “Of course. Sister was one of the two flowers in the Capital back then. She was a famous beauty and a talented woman.”
Qin Haodong said, “Not just back then. Even now, my mother is still a beautiful woman.”
Chu Xuanyue touched his cheek and smiled, “Not anymore, I’m old. My son is already this big.”
Qin Haodong asked, “Mom, you are this beautiful, why didn’t the Qin family agree to your marriage with father?”
Chu Xuanyue sighed and said, “You grew up in an ordinary family, so you wouldn’t understand the connections between aristocratic families. Aristocratic marriages are agreed upon depending on how much benefit they can bring to the family, not because of the couple’s willingness.
“Back then, your father was a genius of the Qin family. He reached the Supreme Power realm at the age of 18 and the entire Qin family had high expectations for him.
“However, the Qin family always had a bad relationship with the Chu family, while they had a good relationship with the Yan family. Coincidentally, the Yan family also had a unique genius back then, the 16-year-old Yan Feifei.
“At that time, Yan Feifei and I were called the twin flowers of the Capital. Apart from our appearance, I was good at business while she was more talented in martial arts. She was already half-a-step to the Supreme Power Realm at the age of 16.Access vi pnovel.com
“The Qin family and the Yan family had great ambitions, so the family masters of both sides wanted the two martial arts geniuses to form a pair; that way, the two families could join forces to eventually sweep the seven great families of the Capital.
“Under such circumstances, the family master of the Qin family would clearly disagree to your father marrying me. They forced your father to marry Yan Feifei. In the end, your father ran away from home in anger. There are no news of him to this day.”
Hearing this, Qin Haodong sighed and said, “These aristocratic families really have no human principles. A forced marriage has hurt three people. Not only did you and father suffer, that Yan Feifei was also a victim.”
Chu Xuanyue said, “By the way son, you must stay away from Yan Feifei if you meet her in the future.”
“Why?” Qin Haodong asked, “It was the Yan family who forced her and father to marry. What does it have to do with me?”
Chu Xuanyue sighed and said, “After your father fled from the marriage, Yan Feifei’s temperament changed greatly. She felt humiliated by Brother Zongheng’s escape, so she immersed herself in martial arts every day and vowed that someday she will find your father for revenge.
“If she finds out you are Brother Zongheng’s son, and since you two look so much alike, I’m not sure what irrational things she will do.”
Qin Haodong asked, “Did that Yan Feifei never marry anyone?”
Chu Xuanyue said, “No, she went back to the Yan family after your father left. She also openly declared to the entire capital that if she doesn’t kill Qin Zongheng, she would never marry.”
Qin Haodong exclaimed, “Isn’t that a little too extreme?”
Ye Qing said, “Actually, she is a pitiful person. An arranged marriage was already pitiful enough, but then the other side ran away from the marriage. It is normal for her to be emotionally distressed.”
Qin Haodong suddenly thought of a question and asked, “What cultivation does Yan Feifei currently have?”
