Chapter 1683: This Man Is Just Too Good

After a dozen hours of flying, Song Yansheng and Shi Nuan arrived at New York’s international airport.

Once they got off the plane, a car was already waiting there.

Originally, after arriving in America, the two of them would head directly to the accommodation Chi Rui arranged for them to rest.

But now, that was clearly not an option.

Over a dozen hours ago, Chi Rui called Song Yansheng to tell him that Shi Nuan’s grandmother and Younger Aunt Xu Jing had been found.

However, Xu Jing proposed going to America immediately because Shi Nuan’s grandmother was now critically ill and needed urgent surgery at an American hospital.

Song Yansheng and Shi Nuan boarded the plane as scheduled, but due to worrying about Old Mrs. Xu’s condition, this dozen-hour journey was pure torment for Shi Nuan.

Song Yansheng wanted Shi Nuan to sleep more, hoping that once she awoke, they would have arrived.

But Shi Nuan clearly couldn’t fall asleep; just as she persisted, so did Song Yansheng.

Old Mrs. Xu, he had seen her in his youth, and even though they had exchanged few words, he felt she was a kind old lady.

But on the way, Shi Nuan said that her grandmother was actually quite strict.

Shi Nuan said her grandmother was a teacher in her youth and even the discipline director, so she was used to being serious.

Later, she married her grandfather, and her temperament softened, but her youthful sharpness hadn’t changed.

Yet her grandmother was really good; when Xu Jing ran away abroad against the family’s wishes, her grandfather was furious.

He almost fell ill from anger, but at that time, her grandmother constantly comforted her husband.

But no one knew that she was actually angrier than her grandfather, and she just endured it for his sake.

Shi Nuan said she was a little scared of her grandmother as a child, and her mother often told her how good her grandmother was, saying she was someone with a cool exterior and a warm heart.

Her grandfather would say so too.

Later, Shi Nuan slowly accepted her grandmother, and their relationship got better and better!

Shi Nuan said, “After my mother died, I kept dreaming for a long time, dreaming that my grandmother and Younger Aunt could take me away, but I waited so long, so very long, and they never came. My mother passed away, and they didn’t even come to see. Then I suddenly realized how lonely I was, and I realized there was no one in this world I could rely on; I could only rely on myself… But heaven was good to me; later, I met Sister Xia, met Shen Zui, met Xiao Chuan, and…met you! So they say, when heaven closes a door, it opens a window, and it seems that’s true!”

Song Yansheng felt very sorry for Shi Nuan; apart from holding her hand tightly and embracing her, he didn’t know what else to do.

Shi Nuan asked Song Yansheng, “Second Uncle, have there been times when you were very afraid, very afraid?”

Song Yansheng thought for a moment and said, “Yes, there were!”

Facing family upheavals in his youth, surviving by the skin of his teeth, he went abroad, struggled to make a life between cracks, returned after learning, founded TK, rose from the ground, and achieved legend…

The journey made the indomitable Song Yansheng!

But no one knew how many times Song Yansheng was afraid, afraid he wasn’t strong enough, afraid he couldn’t make it through, afraid he would let others down, afraid he couldn’t hold on…

But now when he thought back on all of that, those fears seemed insignificant compared to another kind of fear!

Song Yansheng said, “I am very afraid… of losing you!”

Shi Nuan was stunned for a moment, her heartstrings tugged at that soft spot, she said nothing, just leaned tightly against Song Yansheng’s chest.

Letting him feel her presence, and letting herself feel his presence!

…

When they arrived at the hospital, Old Mrs. Xu had just been admitted not long ago, and Xu Jing was cooperating with the expert doctors to understand the old lady’s condition.

The Xu Family’s old lady was nearing eighty, and ever since Old Sir Xu passed away, her health had been deteriorating.

Fortunately, Xu Jing, although rebellious, was still filial and took great care of her. The old lady, feeling sorry for her daughter, proactively sought a psychologist to ease her mind and occasionally engaged in some physical activity.

Her health had improved over these years.

But being of old age, coupled with her constant thoughts of her elder daughter back home.

Xu Jing didn’t want to bring the old lady back to see her sister because of past events. In her youth, feeling down and impulsive, she upset her sister.

She said her sister had married a man who was a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

She also said, even though she eloped, she was ten thousand times happier than living such a routine life!

But after taking her mother back to America, she quickly discovered her husband’s infidelity.
