Spring lovers: We who are inseperable

"Although you have already met them, I think I should introduce them to you, as your mother's family" said Madam Wen breaking the awkward silence in the room.

Wang Yu Yan nodded.

"This is Feng Kang, Mian's father and your grandfather" said Madam Wen as she looked towards Old Master Feng.

"This is Feng Shen, Mian's big brother and your Uncle"

"This is Li Lian, Brother Shen's wife and your Aunt. She was also a part of your mother and my gang."

"This is Feng Jing and Feng Ji, Brother Shen's sons and your brothers"

What to say? The question that lingered in everyone's mind.

"I have failed as a father. Back then I thought that marrying Mian into Li's will give her all the happiness in this world. The fortunes there were in abundance and people were polite and good natured." Feng Kang started with a teary voice.

After a pause, he continued, "I forgot that Mian also had her choice and had her opinions. I thought as a father, what I had done was right for Mian.

I didn't realize that it was just an excuse I was giving to myself. My motive was to strengthen relations with the Lis for business purposes.

I got to know from my sources that Mian had signed a marriage certificate with someone without my knowledge and that to a commoner.

After knowing that, my pride took over my love for Mian and my anger took over my calm. I told her to leave the mansion if she wanted to keep her marriage.

And it was my mistake thinking that Mian would never defy me. She was so determined that she left me, us and this house for a man.

I realized this very late that I was selfish, and when I did, it was too late. I regretted every day that passed.

My regret only grew bigger when I got to know that Mian was not anymore.

But when I got to know that Mian had a daughter, I was overwhelmed. I cannot be a good father but I want to be a good grandfather.

You came to my life as a second Mian. And by no means I would let you suffer.

I want you to be recognized as a member of the Feng Family, and I want you to get the love of a family once again.

I know that it is too late but I want to apologize to Mian and you for all the things that you both have gone through due to my carelessness."

The room became silent once again, everyone in the room could sense the sincerity and their guilt in Feng Kang's voice.

"Please don't apologize. I don't think it's needed, whether to me or to my mother.

My mother told me about her family. She told me that it was her fault too, and I agree with her, she was also in the wrong as much as you all.

She never thought bad about you, so I don't think I have the right." Wang Yu Yan said.

This was true though, Wang Yu Yan felt that her mother was in the wrong too. She did not put forward her intentions. And she did not even consult anyone in the family.

Well, now that it happened, Wang Yu Yan could sit aside and watch the drama.

Hearing Wang Yu Yan's words, Feng Kang was not at all surprised, he knew his daughter too well. He knew that he would not never blame him for anything.

Feng Kang sighed.

In the midst of this, Feng Jing and Feng Ji felt like they were witnessing some drama.

They wanted to know about the after story and were too anxious.

Finally, Feng Shen asked, " Wang Yu Yan can you tell us about what happened to Mian and Wang Fang."

Startled by the question, Madam Wen looked towards Wang Yu Yan who had no expression on her face but her uneasiness can be felt by Madam Wen.

"I-I think Yu Yan is not ready for this. We can talk about it afterwards. For now I think we should emphasize on making a new and fresh start, shouldn't we?" said Madam Wen with a rush.

Though she also wanted to know what happened with Mian, she could not see Wang Yu Yan uncomfortable.

"It's Ok, Aunt Wen, I think it's time they should know. We cannot push this any further." said Wang Yu Yan.

"But-" Madam Wen wanted to stop Wang Yu Yan but was held back by Wen Peng who was sitting beside her and witnessing the whole situation.

According to him, the faster it can be sorted out the better. Wang Yu Yan should be left in peace after this. He held Madam Wen's hand and nodded his head in the negative.

Now that it was time, it was good everyone to know the truth.

"My mother married into Wang Family, and as you all know Wangs are the most secretive family, we don't like any kind of exposure.

As we had enemies, mother and my identity was kept in secret.

When I was seven years old, my mother was diagnosed with leukemia or blood cancer, her health started to deteriorate day by day.

And it was after a year, that the doctors gave up on her and till the end of the year, mother died." said Wang Yu Yan.

Her face was expressionless but inside it was hurting her as she started to take out all her secrets that she had buried in her heart.

It's been eight years, eight long years since she had mentioned her family. She did her best to not to cry, she did her best not to look pitiful.

As for Feng Kang, he was ashamed, ashamed for not knowing her daughter's condition, ashamed for not knowing of her death until fifteen years, ashamed of not being present at her burial, ashamed of not being able to share her granddaughter's feeling of loss back then.

Now that he thought, he deserved it. He deserved the pain of losing someone, the pain of not knowing about her daughter's death.

Apparently, he had no right to know about her daughter's death. No right to apologize, he had lost these rights from the moment he made Feng Mian leave the mansion.

What can be a disgrace on a father more than not knowing about the death of his child?

What can be a disgrace on a father more than losing his child due to his mistake?

The same feeling was in the heart of Wen Mei, Feng Shen and Li Lian.

The feeling of not knowing the death of someone important in your life, for almost fifteen years.

Wang Yu Yan took a deep breath and continued, "Mother's death had left a deep impression on me. Father was worried about me and so he decided to send me overseas, so that my environment changes.

I returned back to the country when I was seventeen. After a year of that, We got to know that my half uncle was preparing to betray our family.

But it was too late for us to do anything. He brought every member of the Wang Family to his side. And before we could do anything, Father met a road accident, my half uncle was the one behind it.

As I was the only heir of the Wang Family, he wanted to kill me too, but I escaped due to the help of some trusted people.

I went into hiding, and on seeing that he could not find me, he made me the suspect behind father's accident."

Till Wang Yu Yan reached her last words, all the people were shocked in the room.

Silence~

No one said anything, no one wanted to say anything again, because they were speechless.

RING

RING

The silence was broken by Feng Jing's phone. Seeing the caller ID, Feng Jing said, "Excuse me. I need to take this call" as he exited the hall.

Finally Feng Kang said, "Rest assured, child. From now you are a member of the Feng Family. No one will be able to say anything against you. From now let grandpa protect you."

"Yes, Father is right. You don't need to hide anymore" added Feng Shen.

Suddenly Li Lian said, "Oh my, look at the time. It's almost the time for lunch."

"It's indeed late" commented Madam Wen.

"Then I will do the preparations for lunch" said Li Lian, as she and Madam Wen proceeded towards the kitchen.

"Ji, why don't you show Yu Yan around the Mansion?" said Feng Kang with a smile on his face.

Startled, Feng Ji looked towards Feng Kang, Feng Shen and then towards Wang Yu Yan.

Nodding he said, "Sure, Why not?" cheerfully.

Now that he was convinced by Wang Yu Yan, he had no issues in accepting her as a sister.

….

Feng Ji and Wang Yu Yan walked through the corridor, as Feng Ji told her about the mansion, the Fengs, and about him of course.

"Oops, I need to take this call" said Feng Ji as he excused himself.

Now Wang Yu Yan was alone in the corridor. As she walked forward, she came across the balcony.

Thinking to take some fresh air, Wang Yu Yan absentmindly walked towards the balcony.

But as she came into the balcony, she came across a familiar face.
