Chapter 448: What Really Happened That Year【1】 Grandmother didn’t know exactly what happened to Ye Linlang that year.

Now that she met Xie Xuning, she wanted to ask a lot of questions.

She wanted to ask him what happened that year.

Why did her daughter return home alone and pregnant?

“Alright.”

Xie Xuning and Grandmother went to the waiting area in the hospital lobby. At this time, there were no people coming and going as they did during the day. It was calm and quiet.

Grandmother was the first to speak. “How did you and my daughter meet?”

Xie Xuning coughed. “Mother, just call me Xuning. Linlang and I met on the train. Later, I became her patient again. I pursued her. She was a good girl. I wasn’t brave enough to protect her.”

As soon as he mentioned the past, tears welled in Xie Xuning’s eyes.

Xie Xuning and Linlang shared so many sweet memories. Recalling those precious moments with her made Xie Xuning’s heart ache.

“She didn’t tell me anything about you. I want to know now, why did my daughter come back with a baby?”

Xie Xuning took a deep breath, and his low voice rang out in the quiet and empty area.

“I was a soldier. I needed to report my marriage to my superiors. I first wrote an application to my superiors. After the superiors agreed, Linlang and I got the certificate. We originally planned that after my mission, we would go back to our hometown for the wedding. I was seriously injured while I was on the mission. I was treated in the local hospital for three months. When I returned to the army, I had an observation period of nearly half a year. Because I couldn’t leave the army, I entrusted my friend to find Linlang. The hospital where Linlang worked at that time said that Linlang had resigned”

Grandmother nodded, indicating that Xie Xuning continued.

“My friend went to Jiameng Town again, then got the news of Linlang’s suicide and your death from extreme grief. Later, I also went to Jiameng Town. I went to that small courtyard. A young couple was living there. The man’s name was Ye Guoliang, and the woman’s name was Zhu Dongmei. When I got there, the woman had a big belly, and she took us to the old grave forest of the Ye family. After I gave them a sum of money, they agreed to let me move Linlang’s urn, but I didn’t agree to move Linlang’s father’s urn.”

Xie Xuning remembered how he felt when he saw that icy tombstone back then.

That scene... It was just...it was unbearable to recall.

“It was my fault.” Xie Xuning kept reproaching himself. “If I gave them a sum of money to buy the yard where Linlang lived, perhaps this matter would have gone in a different direction, or I would have come back a few times later to see where Linlang grew up. Maybe I wouldn’t have had so many regrets.”

Grandmother handed a handkerchief to Xie Xuning. This man, no matter how calm and level-headed he had been, was still sad that he lost his usual gracefulness.

“If you insisted on buying that yard back then, perhaps, Tianxin and I wouldn’t be in this world now.”

Grandmother thought about what happened back then. She finally understood now how Ye Guoliang and Zhu Dongmei got the money to repair the house.

Those two claimed to have gotten the money from working.

At this moment, it was clear to her that her nephew received money from others and deliberately set them up.
