From Rural Roots to City Lights Chapter 20

Mr. Gu's health is not as good as it was three years ago. Adrian Wang's cousin introduced the simple situation of the Gu family while driving. Mr. Gu has been showing symptoms of Alzheimer's disease since last year. Originally, the old man had been living in a sanatorium for senior officials, but this time Adrian Wang called and said he was coming to Shanghai to sweep and pay homage to his mother's grave. Adrian Wang's uncle specially invited the old man to come back for a reunion dinner with his nephew!

After meeting his uncle and aunt, Adrian Wang went to see his grandfather accompanied by his uncle. However, when the old man saw Adrian Wang visiting him, he waved his cane and hit him hard. He was very emotional and angrily cursed Wang Yingtang as a B@st@ard! This embarrassed the uncles who wanted to entertain their nephew well. The knot in the heart of the old generation could not be untied!

After paying respect to Gu's mother's grave and offering her favorite lilies, Adrian Wang looked speechlessly at the photo of her inlaid on the marble tablet. It was a photo of her when she was young. She was not as delicate and beautiful as a Shanghai woman, but rather as ordinary and dignified as a northern woman. She was also full of energy at that time! It is said that this photo was taken in Northeast China when she was an educated youth.

Ethan Chen silently accompanied Adrian Wang and stood behind him. There were bruises on Adrian Wang's forehead, which were caused by old Gu's cane. The old man's angry expression was vivid in front of him. The relaxed and happy mood they had when they came had disappeared. The hidden scrutiny of Adrian Wang's two aunts gently swept over Ethan Chen, and Ethan Chen must have known it. The female nanny from Shanghai hired by his uncle's family also secretly watched Adrian Wang and him from time to time. Ethan Chen knew that he and Adrian Wang were also the topic of gossip among others. Originally, Adrian Wang wanted the two of them to worship Gu's mother by themselves, but it was Ethan Chen who stared at and pressured Adrian Wang to notify Gu's family. Ethan Chen really hoped that Adrian Wang would have more relatives. Adrian Wang's uncle was sincere, but others could not recognize things beyond the blood relationship. Ethan Chen silently watched Adrian Wang's figure. Adrian Wang turned around and looked at Ethan Chen, motioning for him to put down the flowers in his hand. Ethan Chen stepped forward and put the lily in his hand together with Adrian Wang's lily. Adrian Wang stretched out his hand

Holding Ethan Chen's finger, he slowly said to the photo on the tombstone: "Mom, Ethan Chen and I are here to see you."
