Chapter 78 - He is not mysterious anymore
Chapter 78 - He is not mysterious anymore
Thirty doctors who were the head of each department lined up to escort the Old Man and his grandchild.
Li Fanrong, Old Man Lu had silver hair, a sign of the passing of his age. He was not in his prime, however, he had a strong heart, strong will to live and a stubborn mind. Because of this, even he used a walking stick at the age of 92, no one dared to belittle this old man. Even the Old Xiong, Old Guan, and Patriarch of Tang respected him, never clashing to the Lu\'s.
So, naturally, his son-in-law, Ming Zhi Yi, could not do anything to him as he took away his grandson.
Old Man Lu looked warmly at his grandson. His grandson was like a replica of his daughter. Silver hair, silver-blue eyes, an angel-like figure.
This grandson of his inherited the natural air of his daughter, a scholar, graceful, sickly air.
That\'s why he favored this youngest grandson of his rather than the older brother who was the opposite of this boy.
"You will be out of here now, my boy." Old Man Lu patted Lu Yin Ze\'s hands.
Lu Yin Ze\'s silver-blue eyes looked back at the hospital that imprisoned him for years.
He thought this place would be his final resting place. This place was where he suffered extreme loneliness, hopelessness, emptiness, and lost the will to live. Yet, this place also let him learned how to stand strong, that dying would not make a difference. He had hope now. He wished to protect all the things that were left to him. His grandfather, his mother\'s surname- Lu, his inheritance, and even his newly acquired friend. Thinking of his friend, he could not help but smile inside.
At least he had a friend now. He was looking forward to finding her and gained the bond of friendship. A relationship that he never had before.
He went to sit beside his grandfather.
Old Man Lu was consistently asking Lu Yin Ze\'s preference for food, place, taste, and other things. He wanted Lu Yin Ze to feel comfortable inside his mansion. If there\'s anything that should be changed, he would adjust it to his grandson\'s taste.
Old Man Lu had not to meet Lu Yin Ze since he was six. Even if he was keeping a tab on him from time to time it was still different living with his grandson in this mansion.
\'If not because of that agreement...I will not let my grandson be under that man.\'
When his sickly beautiful daughter was still alive, he made a deal with her.
At that time, there were many misunderstandings between his daughter and his son in law. Until they went to court and reach an agreement.
The two sons would be under surnamed Lu. There\'s a condition though, if her daughter managed to survive until the two were in the right age, the two would be under her tutelage. But if her condition, which was stage 4 cancer, got worsen, then she was not capable enough to care for her children and her children would be under the care of her husband- Ming Zhi Yi until the two reach the right age they would have a right to chose who to live with.
However, her daughter died early. Her body collapsed. She could not continue to live on. She left those two pitiful boys alone.
Old Man Lu was guilty because of this. He did everything he could to take those children back. But it was just recently when his grandson found a way to tip him through one of his spies that he needs his help and wanted to left this hospital. That\'s when Old Man Lu pushed everything to his limits.
He even made a deal with that son of [email?protected] in law of his before he could take away his grandson.
\'Ming Zhi Yi...you are really crafty.\'
However, for the old man, he was willing to pay the price for his grandson.
They arrived at the Lu Mansion.
It was located in one of the mountains that Old Lu owned. The entire hill was actually the Lu Residence. It was magnificent. Like a castle built for the royals.
Old Man Lu lead Lu Zin Ye to a new and brightly cleaned south wing of the mansion.
"It is your territory. "
Lu Zin Ye sincerely thank the Old Man.
The Old Man left him after he told him that they would call him when dinner comes.
Lu Zin Ye toured the south wing alone. He walked through the big hallway and touched everything he wanted to touch. He reached one of the big doors and opened it.
It was a massive library.
Lu Zin Ye was not a reader.
However this time, he appreciated every book that was compiled neatly waiting for somebody to read it.
He picked one of the books.
It was a supernatural romance titled "Oh My Ghost" [1]. The book was about a girl who almost died and got separated from her body. She lost her body as well as her memory. She becomes a wondering ghost trying to figure out who she is. Until she met a ghost and fell in love with him.
Lu Zin Ye got hooked with the story. Probably because he and the protagonist were the same. A wandering soul not knowing what his or her purpose is.
Lu Zin Ye walked further holding the book. There was a wide balcony and big couches on it.
He opened the door and sat on the big couch. The sun was not too hot, it was cloudy and windy, a good time for reading.
Lu Zin Ye turned the pages, immersed in the story. He did not notice that the sun was setting and the wind got chilly.
Lu Zin Ye closed the book. He stands up and went to the railing. He looked up and watched as the sun and the moon met in the sky.
Two stars that should have never met. However, now they are both present in his eyes. Gracing each other\'s existence.
Like the protagonist in the novel, she should have never met the male lead. As they live their life differently. If the protagonist did not become a ghost, she would have never known him. She should have never known the beauty of love.
When he thought about what he read, he wondered how it feels to be in love. To the point you would give up your life to the person you should have never met.
Looking at the sun and the moon who was about to be in their separate ways, he could not help but be sad.
He bitterly smiled.
He was very sentimental.
The protagonist had a good ending. So why he felt sad about it?
Is it because he thought that it was impossible? Impossible for them to meet, as those things such as \'ghost\', \'separating from one\'s body\' were all a fantasy. It would never happen in real life. If it happened in real life, the protagonist would choose death, and the male lead would be doomed as well. They would never have a happy ending.
That\'s how life is.
Is the truth was before him?
Like how the sun and moon were different things. They might come across to each other but they will separate their ways ultimately.
A knock disrupted his thoughts.
"Young Master, dinner is ready."
Lu Zin Ye turned his back to the scene before him. He left the book on the couch, he already finished it, and he would not read it anymore. It was just a fantasy. It would just give you false hope. That\'s why he never like reading at all.
He left the library and closed it\'s door.
Meanwhile, the moon\'s light illuminated the cover of the book.
There was a girl in a high school uniform. She was back to back with a tall pale boy.
Like the sun and the moon, they were fated to have never met.
However, when he met her. His fate changed.
Lu Zin Yen did not know that this \'impossible\' was happening to him. He did not understand that he was slowly writing his fate in this life.
