Chapter 1375 - 1231: Autumn Chill (Part 3)
As he laughed, Song Yansheng’s eyes suddenly filled with tears.
Large tears overflowed from his dark eyes.
Then, he loudly questioned Shi Nuan: "Why treat me like this? Tell me, why treat me like this..."
Why treat him like this? Why treat him like this?
Shi Nuan searched for the answer in her mind, but couldn’t find it; her mind was a chaotic mess!
She anxiously cried, insistently saying, "I didn’t, I didn’t, I didn’t..."
...
"Miss? Miss, what’s wrong?"
A gentle and kind voice came through, and Shi Nuan felt her hand being clasped by a warm, slightly rough and dry hand.
She paused, suddenly opening her eyes wide.
Her vision was blurry, as tears filled her eyes.
But once the tears cleared, she quickly saw a gentle and kind face.
In that moment, the tears that had vanished once again spread out.
Shi Nuan gritted her teeth, trying to control the overwhelming emotions, and softly called out: "Nanny Wang..."
Nanny Wang hearing Shi Nuan call her like this after ten years also felt deep sadness, unable to hold back her own tears.
She tightly held Shi Nuan’s hand, saying, "I’m sorry, Miss, I said I would come back to see you, but I... I returned too late!"
Shi Nuan shook her head, wanting to say it wasn’t late, not at all, but her throat choked, unable to speak.
In the end, it was Nanny Wang who adjusted her emotions. She sniffled and said, "Miss, stop crying, I’ve cooked some soup for you, it’s at the perfect temperature now. Wait, I’ll serve you a bowl!"
Nanny Wang finished speaking, maneuvering the handrail to go to the table.
At this moment, Shi Nuan realized that Nanny Wang was actually sitting in a wheelchair.
She was shocked, calling out, "Nanny Wang—"
She asked, "Your leg..."
Nanny Wang knew that since Shi Nuan was here, it couldn’t be hidden anymore.
She smiled and said, "I’ve grown old, my legs aren’t good anymore, but it doesn’t matter. Sitting in a wheelchair doesn’t stop me from doing things. You see, I can still cook porridge and make soup for Miss like before..."
Yet Shi Nuan’s tears had already fallen again. She asked, "Nanny Wang, tell me, what really happened to your leg..."
Nanny Wang saw Shi Nuan being insistent, and knew she could no longer hide it. She said, "It was... it was the year I left the Shi Family. I went to the construction site to deliver food to my husband and got my leg broken by a falling cement slab... I was lucky enough to survive!"
Shi Nuan felt a bitter heartache swelling inside: "So, you didn’t want me to know your leg was broken, that’s why you didn’t come to see me at the Shi Family?"
Nanny Wang frowned, not speaking.
But that expression already gave tacit approval.
Shi Nuan bit her lip, feeling even more sorrowful.
She knew, she knew that Nanny Wang, who cared for her so deeply, wouldn’t disappear without reason.
It was only in those initial two or three years when Nanny Wang didn’t visit her once that her feelings changed from disappointment and sadness to cold indifference.
She had thought that warm and cold human nature was mostly like this.
She never imagined that Nanny Wang would encounter such misfortune!
Shi Nuan took a deep breath, composed herself, and asked, "Then how did my father... how did my father find you? Didn’t you say you moved to Lin City?"
Nanny Wang replied, "Yes, I moved to live with my daughter and son-in-law in Lin City after my husband passed away. Since my legs aren’t convenient, I naturally couldn’t go everywhere. Otherwise... even if my leg was broken, I still wanted to come see Miss, even if just secretly."
Shi Nuan felt sorrow and had no idea what to say.
Nanny Wang continued, "However, the person who found me and brought me from Lin City wasn’t your father, but Mr. Song, Song Yansheng!"
Shi Nuan was stunned, "You mean... Second Uncle?"
Nanny Wang smiled, "Wasn’t it just him? Mr. Song is a good man. Probably since seven years ago, he’s been taking care of me a lot. He even helped find a doctor to try to treat my leg, but ultimately it couldn’t be cured due to the long delay. After my husband died, he helped move me to Lin City to live with my daughter and son-in-law. To make sure I lived comfortably, he introduced my son-in-law to a good job. Over the years, whenever he’d go to Lin City for business trips, he’d come see me..."
Shi Nuan paused, business trips? She recalled that Song Yansheng seemed to have been on a business trip to Lin City recently.
Shen Zui even said that Song Yansheng didn’t just go on a business trip, but also met a woman...
Could it be, the woman Shen Zui talked about, was Nanny Wang?
Shi Nuan took a deep breath: "Nanny Wang, recently, did Song Yansheng... did Song Yansheng come to Lin City to see you?"
Nanny Wang looked at Shi Nuan and gently nodded, "Yes, he came and brought news to me about you. He told me you were well... he also said you and he have gotten married, become husband and wife... At that moment, I was truly very happy, truly happy... Miss, Mr. Song is a good man!"
