Chapter 967: Reunion
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Bai Xu’S disappearance cast a shadow over the entire Ji family.
However, they did not expect this shadow to continue. After Ji Heng got married, he had two sons, Ji Lan had a son and a daughter. They had their youngest daughter at an old age. They did not expect her to be stolen when she was just a month old.
They knew it was Liu Yuelan, but they couldn’t catch her or find her.
At this moment, the knot in his family’s heart became even more difficult to untie. Over the years, he had gone to many places in the business world. His eldest brother’s martial arts disciples had also gone to many places. Just like his lost sister, there was no news at all.
His mother often cried. Her eyes were no longer good.
His father had passed away a few years ago.
His grandfather, Ji Changyuan, was still around. He was already bedridden this year and did not have much time left.
All these years, none of them knew why Liu Yuelan came to the Ji family to steal the Ji girl. The grudges of the previous generation were over. When Grandma Liu Yuyan was alive, she had said countless times that she could not die in peace.
If the younger generation met Liu Yuelan one day, they would definitely ask her why she did that.
In the story Ji Changyuan told them, he had never liked Liu Yuelan. 1–1e didn’t even hesitate to reject her. When Liu Yuelan pestered him, he even sent her away. There was no love or hate misunderstanding, let alone playing with Liu Yuelan•s feelings.
After hearing Ji Heng and Ji Lan’s recount, Bai Xu fell silent.
When she thought about her childhood, she felt that it was a little ridiculous. In her impression, Bai Liu hated men to the core. Sometimes, when she was in a bad mood, she would kill to vent her hatred.
Bai Xu had seen it many times. Bai Liu killed those animals with extremely cruel methods. When Bai Xu was young, she would be very afraid and would hide far away.
She had once raised a cat that was tortured to death by Bai Liu.
Bai Liu had never told her story. She only guessed that Grandma had been hurt by love, but now that she knew the truth, she only found it funny.
Was it really love?
Or perhaps it was her one-sided love that turned into hatred.
“Little Xu, no matter if you can accept our family or not, you’re welcome back. Although Father has passed away, he missed you before he died. Mother’s health isn’t good anymore. To be able to see you before she dies, I believe she has no regrets.”
Ji Heng looked at Bai Xu and said gently. His sister had been found. Even if things had changed, it was a good thing that she had been found.
“She captured Bai Yu.”
Bai Xu frovvned. After knowing her identity, her heart gradually calmed dovvn. She was a cultivator and no longer cared about these secular matters. However, her roots had always been a knot in her heart. It was best if she could resolve it now.
Be it Bai Liu or Liu Yuelan, she had a grudge against them.
Ji Lan’s gaze darkened before she said, “Xu, don’t worry. I’ll arrange for someone to save Bai Yu. Come home with us and see mother. She doesn’t have much time left. To be able to see you on her last day, I think she can rest in peace.”
Bai Xu nodded.
Hu Changshou accompanied Bai Xu back to the Ji family. The moment they entered the house, the servants were respectful.
Ji Heng and Ji Lan’s wives had already received the letter and greeted Bai Xu warmly. Bai Xu smiled gently.
Her brothers and sisters-in-law were not young anymore.
Their families were peaceful. Everything was a little different from what she had imagined, but it was also very similar.
They entered the courtyard and passed through the corridor into the room.
Once Bai Xu was willing to go home, Ji Heng and Ji Lan had gotten someone to send a message home.
Their mother, Madam Zhou, had already heard the news. She was not in good health. When she found out that her daughter had been found, she immediately began to wash up and dress up. Her hair was already white and her old and wrinkled face made it impossible to tell her emotions. Many tears flowed out of her turbid eyes.
Madam Zhou’s heart tightened when she heard the door open.
Her two daughters-in -law immediately went forward to take care of her, rubbing her chest and smoothing her back to tell her not to be too excited. “Mingzhu, my Mingzhu is back. She’S my Mingzhu…”
Madam Zhou’s voice choked. She only said this before she choked and could no longer speak.
Bai Xu did not feel good. She could not help but cry. 1–1er eyes turned red. She walked to Madam Zhou and knelt dovvn. 1–1er lips trembled, but in the end, she could not say the word ‘mother’.
She only leaned her head on Madam Zhou’s knees and sobbed softly.
Madam Zhou gently stroked her hair and touched her head with her rough hand, as if confirming her identity. In the end, she also cried. “Mingzhu is back,
Mingzhu is back..”
In the end, Madam Zhou said this repeatedly.
Everyone could not help but be moved and their eyes turned red.
After crying, there was joy, and finally peace.
After Madam Zhou found out, they should tell Ji Changyuan this news.
Ji Changyuan had already been unconscious for two days. He had been like this for the past few months. 1–1e was at the end of his rope. He seemed to be unable to breathe, so he kept enduring.
After waking up after sleeping for a few days, he asked his granddaughter and great-granddaughter if they had found Liu Yuelan. It was only these two things. After asking, he ate some soup and continued to sleep.
Ji Heng and Ji Lan could not help but wonder if the heavens had heard their grandfather and mother’s prayers and let Bai Xu return.
Actually, in the past few decades, they no longer dared to have any hope.
How many women in this world could not live to be 50 years old? Their Mingzhu might be one of them.
The surprise of their reunion came too suddenly. For a moment, everyone felt a heavy knot in their hearts relax.
Ji Changyuan was unconscious. They could only tell him when he woke up.
Bai Xu gave divine medicine to her family. She had collected these treasures.
It was for Madam Zhou and her brother and sister-in-law.
The nephew at home was not very talented, but he had a foundation in martial arts. Bai Xu was happy to guide him.
Her martial arts skills were not weak. She had not trained alone for decades for nothing.
A servant came to pass a message. “Madam, a girl with the surname Su is looking for you. She said that she’S your old friend. She’s accompanied by a one-armed man and a handsome young man.”
Bai Xu’S eyes lit up and he immediately threw down her sword and left. “Where is she? I’ll go pick her up myself.”
Her surname was Su. An one-armed man and a young man. Who else could it be but Su Xiaolu?
Hu Changshou smiled and followed Bai Xu.
It had been more than half a month since they last met, and they were pleasantly surprised to see each other again.
“Hello, Miss Ji.”
Seeing Bai Xu, Su Xiaolu smiled and cupped her hands.
Bai Xu raised his head. “Yes. My name is Ji Baixu now. Come quickly, I’ll show you my house.”
Bai Xu did not have many friends. She had made some friends in the Escort Agency, but they had all left the martial world or died. Speaking of which, her closest friend was actually Su Xiaolu.
Su Xiaolu placed the box containing the Flame Fruit in Bai Xu’S palm. “Then take this as a gift to congratulate you on finding home.”
Bai Xu had found her roots, and Su Xiaolu was happy for her..
