Chapter 60: Following her
In the Wen Mansion
After Wen Mei and Wang Yu Yan left Wen Mansion, the Wen couple sat in the hall leisurely sipping tea. The atmosphere was both peaceful and harmonious, when suddenly Madam Wen sighed.
Hearing her sign, Wen Peng said, "What's the matter honey?"
Madam Wen, sipping her tea said, "I am just so happy for our Yan Yan, but sometimes I also pity her."
Wen Peng, on hearing her last words, kept the newspaper which he was reading aside, and said, "I know, right" giving his consent.
"She is such a filial and sweet girl. I wish, she too had her parents" said Madam Wen expressing her thoughts followed by a sigh.
"I agree. But if she had her parents, you would not get to meet her or a chance to adore her" said Wen Peng.
Hearing her husband, Madam Wen exclaimed, "Ooii"
Seeing his wife acting like a child, Wen Peng stared at her, without blinking his eyes.
Sensing a stare, Madam Wen said with a shy voice, " W-What are you looking at?"
"I can't admire the beauty of my wife?" said Wen Peng, intensifying his glare with loving eyes.
Hearing praise, Madam Wen blushed with a smile on her face and not wanting to meet the eyes of her husband.
Then, Madam Wen's phone ranged. Picking her phone, Madam Wen said, "Oooh"
"What is it?" Wen Peng asked.
"I have my appointment at the Spa" Madam Wen said with a smile on her face.
"Oh, but I want to spend time with my wife. You are already so beautiful." Wen Peng said.
"Stop it. I am going." said Madam Wen with a blush and humming.
"Come Fast my wife, I am waiting for you"
"Hmm" said Madam Wen while she walked with a smile on her face.
After Madam Wen got ready, she was on her way to the spa, when the car abruptly stopped.
Sensing the situation, Madam Wen said, " What is the matter?"
"Madam I think I spotted the car of Young Madam's car" said the driver.
Following the gaze of the driver, Madam Wen spotted Wang Yu Yan coming out from the florist shop.
"Oh, its Yan Yan" exclaimed madam Wen in surprise and joy.
"She seems to have purchased flowers for someone" added the driver.
Hearing these words, Madam Wen's eyes brightened and she said, "Is she going to meet someone? Perhaps her….boyfriend" with excitement in her voice.
The idea of Wang Yu Yan's boyfriend made Madam Wen squealing with happiness.
After much thinking she said, "Follow her"
"But'"
Seeing that the driver was hesitant, Madam Wen said, "I am her mother, it's alright for me to follow my daughter" with excitement.
"Y-Yes ma'am" said the driver.
As the car started, Madam Wen's excitement had reached her peak, and she was also very nervous.
She finally managed to calm herself down, when both the cars stopped.
She got out from the car, but was surprised to see a cemetery in front of her.
'Are they meeting in a cemetery? This is somewhat…..' she thought.
After some time she said, "Have I assumed something wrong?"
'Well let's see. Now that I have come till here, let's see what is going on' she said in her mind as she started following Wang Yu Yan.
As she walked, Madam Wen's excitement came down and her curiosity level peaked, she not sure whether Wang Yu Yan was here to meet her boyfriend or not.
Wang Yu Yan stopped, and so did Madam Wen.
Madam Wen felt guilty when she saw Wang Yu Yan standing in front of a grave. She felt guilty for coming to baseless conclusions.
As Wang Yu Yan sat down on her knees and started talking, Madam Wen could sense the pain in her voice.
When she heard Wang Yu Yan talking about the Wen Family, heart ached and as well as it swelled in relief that she reminded Wang Yu Yan of someone close to her.
Her heart ached when she saw Wang Yu Yan crying, and she wanted to rush to her and give her a hug.
But she knew she couldn't because if she did, she would loose Wang Yu Yan's trust and fate on her. Hearing her words, Madam Wen felt more and more guilty and she couldn't bear to hear more.
It was when a tear made it's way through her eyes. She felt like crying and after that she didn't bother to hear anything more.
In her mind she prayed to god to forgive for doing such a thing and to bless the young woman in front of her.
Not wanting to hear anything more, with a gloomy face, Madam Wen decided to leave.
She turned around and took a step when she heard something,
'MOTHER'
Hearing this, her steps stopped midway. She turned around and her eyes widened in disbelief.
'Meaning the one Wang Yu Yan was talking to, was her mother.
But still Madam Wen could not believe her ears.
She heard one more, 'MOM'.
That's when she felt like a stone had dropped on her heart. She felt suffocated.
Now that she knew that, it was her mom, Madam Wen, who had the sudden urge to see who Wang Yu Yan's mother was.
She knew that she should wait until Wang Yu Yan told her herself, but she couldn't so instead of returning back, Madam Wen stopped in her tracks.
When Wang Yu Yan went away, automatically Madam Wen walked towards the grave. With shaking legs, her heart beat increased as she walked towards the grave.
As soon as Madam Wen reached the grave, she shouted, "Noooo"
Mother Wen stood there dumbstruck. She opened and closed her mouth to say something but nothing came out.
She couldn't digest the whole scene which just occurred in front of her.
In front of her was the grave of Wang Yu Yan's mother but she couldn't believe that this person was Wang Yu Yan's mother.
She froze there, and finally hot tears came down from her eyes.
"FENG MIAN", the daughter of the prestigious Feng family, the most favoured child of the Old Master Feng, her childhood best friend's grave is in front of her and her daughter is none other than Wang Yu Yan.
She closed her wet eyes for a moment and thought of her long lost friend.
They had been together since they were in diapers.
They attended the school together and were recognized for their sisterhood. They sat together, ate together, and did everything that two sisters could.
But there was still more to be done, much more to be enjoyed, more to be faced.
But one day her soul sister left.
Without a word.
She had made various attempts to find her but she couldn't.
From the time that Feng Mian disappeared, it was difficult for Madam Wen to stay put. She still remembered how badly she cried when her friend disappeared.
After many attempts, she found that her friend left due to a man. A man she wanted to get married to.
When she heard this, Madam Wen was furious, so angry that her soul sister, didn't even bother to tell her the truth.
She wanted to find her so that she could get angry at Feng Mian for not trusting her friend.
She still waited for Feng Mian, in the thought that someday her friend would come back.
She knew how eagerly she waited for just a call from her friend.
But is seemed that her friend had disappeared like dust.
And now when she found her, she was dead.
Tears uncontrollably flowed down her cheeks.
Suddenly Wang Yu Yan's picture came to her mind.
Surely she resembled her mother in every aspect, whether it's beauty or brains.
Mother Wen smiled faintly.
Her heart was aching so badly. The sudden truth was way too much for her to process.
