Chapter 3: Returning Home

Ever since she backed out from her marriage and left without a word, the relationship between her and the family had soured . Her father was infuriated to the point where he refused to speak to her . Her stepmother and stepsister didn’t better the situation at all, as they constantly belittled her .

Her bond with her father was strained to the extreme because he thought she was just a reckless person with an unstable life without a shred of decency . However, time healed the old wounds and she patched up things with him to some extent by occasionally sending him pictures of herself and her son .

She received a call from her father, stating that he was ill and wanted her to come home and he was looking forward to seeing his grandson .

After five years away from home, Tang Siyu already forgot all grudges . Her only concern was now her son, she didn’t have the time to hold useless grudges . So she agreed to come home .

Soon, they hailed a taxi from the airport which dropped them off at Tang residence .

Tang Siyu sighed in dismay, looking at the glorious mansion . Even though the mansion was of the topmost quality, it was no longer comfortable for her . After her mother passed away, there was no place for her here .

Three months after her mother’s death, her father married a woman named Qiu Lin who brought along a daughter . It was then when she realized that her father had an illegitimate child . She was absolutely against the whole arrangement and she struggled a lot too, however, in the end, she had to begrudgingly accept it . Before she knew it, she became an outsider for her own family .

“Mummy, what are you thinking about?” The boy questioned in a soft voice .

Tang Siyu snapped back to reality and turned her lips up into a smile . As she bent down to fix her son’s crooked hood, she said, “It was nothing! Now, do you remember everyone’s names?”

“Mhm, I know!” As her son beamed a cheerful smile at her, she couldn’t help but hold her breath, looking at his eyes that shined like stars .

As soon as she gave birth to this beautiful boy, she let go of her grudge against the vile man who stole her virginity . As her son grew up, he became even more good-looking . Yet the fact that he looked nothing like her always irked her . However, no matter what, the child was her precious son . As for that man, she wanted to do nothing with him for the rest of her life!

Tang Siyu stood up and rang the doorbell . After a moment’s delay, a servant opened the door and exclaimed with delight, “Eldest Miss, you finally came home! And that must be the young master! He’s such a handsome child . ”

“Is Father home?”

“Yes, he’s right over there . However, Madam and Second Miss are also home…” The servant’s voice trailed off towards the end and her smile froze .

Tang Siyu stopped letting the evil duo get to her already, so she didn’t spare them a single thought . She only came back to let her son meet his grandfather .

She led the little boy to the hall, where her father was making tea . As soon as Tang Xiong spotted the mother and son enter, he put hastily put his teacup away and stood up .

“Father, I’m back . ” Tang Siyu greeted him warmly . It was her obligation as his daughter to let go of all previous hatred, after all .

“Now that you’re back, I can finally be at ease . ” Tang Xiong took a good look at his daughter . Over the years, she grew up to be even more beautiful . His gaze then shifted towards the child beside her . He already knew what his grandson looked like because of the pictures Tang Siyu sent him but looking at him in real life, he was immensely happy .

“So you are Little Xi!”

“Hello, Grandpa!” Tang Xiaoxi greeted him politely as he bowed .

“Ahh… Such a good child! Come closer and let this old grandfather take a good look at you . ” Tang Xiong’s heart melted at his Little Xi’s words .

Little Xi immediately jumped into his grandfather’s arms . Tang Xiong hugged him tightly and began to carefully examine his grandson’s features . Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows, as if comparing them to Little Xi’s and said, “He inherited my eyebrows!”
