Reunion of Aunt and Nephew

As Yun Guiyue was digging in the sand, she felt a shadow fall over her head. When she looked up, her heart suddenly pounded violently.

When she was young, Yun Guiyue loved to look in the mirror whenever she felt wronged, so she could remember what she looked like at every stage of her life.

I hope that one day I'll meet someone who looks similar to me, and then ask, "Has anyone in your family gone missing?"

In her hazy memories, many people called to her and teased her in gentle voices.

"Guiyue calls out to her second uncle, 'Here's some candy for you.'"

"My sweet girl, your dress looks so pretty today."

She knew these voices definitely weren't from the Zhao family; they must be from her real family.

She longed to return to that place filled with warm laughter.

Looking up at the person before her, tears streamed down her face, and she asked in a choked voice, "Has anyone in your family ever gone missing?"

Yun Li felt as if something was gripping her heart, causing a sore and swollen sensation, and her eyes reddened.

"have!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Guiyue abruptly stood up and grabbed Yun Li's hand, "Look at me, aren't I your lost family member?"

Yun Li possesses spiritual power and strong perception; she can clearly sense the tension and anticipation in the person before her.

"You are, you are my cousin's aunt."

Yun Guiyue froze for a second, then hugged Yun Li and burst into tears. Yun Li hugged her back.

Yun Xingwan, who was not far away, noticed Yun Li when he got to his mother's side.

However, she didn't think much of it, assuming that she was also there to go beachcombing, since she was also carrying a basket.

Unexpectedly, a short while later, her mother suddenly hugged the person and cried.

She panicked and ran over, dropping the shovel.

At the same time, Yun Muchen, who was not far away, also ran over angrily.

"Who are you, daring to bully my mom..."

He raised his fist, about to hit Yun Li, but Yun Xingwan grabbed him, saying, "Brother, don't be impulsive."

"Little sister, what are you doing? She's bullying Mom."

Yun Xingwan raised her hand and slapped him on the forehead. "Use your eyes to look carefully. It's Mom hugging her and crying."

Yun Muchen calmed down a bit, but still said defiantly, "Then it must have been her who made Mom cry."

Yun Xingwan watched her brother shake his head. Couldn't he hear the joy in their mother's crying?

This is tears of joy.

Yun Family

"Ali, sit down, Auntie has made something delicious for you." Yun Guiyue's smile never left her face as she walked back from the beach.

Yun Li pulled her back, "Auntie, don't be in such a hurry, let's have a good talk."

The sensible Yun Xingwan pushed her mother to sit down, "Mom, you talk to Sister Ali, I'll go make tea and cook."

Yun Guiyue smiled at her daughter, then looked at her son who was standing there blankly, "Mu Chen, go and see if your father and the others have returned from their sea voyage."

Yun Muchen was surprised. His father had just gone out to sea yesterday and wouldn't be back for at least three days. Why would his mother call for him...?

Suddenly, he understood what his mother meant; she was deliberately trying to get him away.

He would never normally do it, but today his mother cried a lot, so he thought about it and decided to listen to her.

"I'll go right now!"

Before leaving, he secretly glanced at Yun Li several times.

Yun Guiyue had longed for her family for decades, and Yun Li's appearance filled her with joy, which made her somewhat cautious.

She sent her son away because he had a fiery temper and she was afraid he would say something thoughtless that would frighten Yunli.

Only Yun Li and Yun Guiyue remained in the main room. Yun Li asked directly, "Aunt, why did you become the Zhao family's adopted daughter?"

Upon hearing the mention of the Zhao family, Yun Guiyue was surprised. "Ali, do you know anyone from the Zhao family?"

"I don't know you. I only heard from Master Zhidu that you are an adopted daughter of the Zhao family."

So that's how it is. Yun Guiyue's mood became depressed. "Ali, I don't know why I became the Zhao family's adopted daughter. I've been the Zhao family's adopted daughter since I can remember."

Yun Li nodded secretly. If they didn't even know this, then they certainly didn't know where the rest of the Yun family had gone.

She just tested with a drop of blood, and apart from Yun Guiyue, Yun Xingwan, and Yun Muchen, there are no other members of the Yun family in Xiangcheng.

"Ah Li, where do you live?"

What Yun Guiyue really wanted to ask was who else was in her family.

Yun Li raised her hand and pointed to the other side of the sea, "Inland."

Yun Guiyue suddenly opened her eyes wide. So her home was inland. Could it be that she was trafficked to Xiangcheng?

"By the way, Ali, where are the elders who came to Xiangcheng with you living now?"

Seeing that Yun Li was only about twelve or thirteen years old, Yun Guiyue naturally assumed that she must have come with her family.

Yun Li said calmly, "There are no elders, only me."

Yun Guiyue's smile froze, then she felt extremely distressed. Ali was still so young, how could she have come to Xiangcheng all by herself?

"Ah Li, did you run away from home? Or were you kidnapped...?"

"No!" Yun Li lowered her eyes, making it impossible to see her emotions. "I'm all alone at home now."

Yun Guiyue opened her mouth, tears streaming down her face. How could this be!

Yun Li took out a handkerchief from her spatial storage and walked up to her to wipe away her tears.

"Auntie, don't cry, I'm here for you!"

The words "I'm still here" made Yun Guiyue's heart ache. If everyone else in the Yun family were gone, wouldn't Ali only have her left?

"Waaaaah..."

Yun Guiyue hugged Yun Li's waist and cried. This time, her crying was very suppressed. When Yun Xingwan heard the crying, she walked to the door of the main room and took a look. Her eyes also turned red.

This time, Mom's cries were not tears of joy, but tears of extreme grief.

The clever Yun Xingwan didn't go in to comfort her; she knew her mother must have cried because she heard bad news about the family.

This kind of sadness cannot be healed with comfort; it takes time to let go.

Yun Li glanced at the doorway, then looked away without comforting Yun Guiyue, simply letting her hug him quietly.

Grief needs to be released so as not to fester inside.

Having a good cry isn't necessarily a bad thing.

However, she still needs to understand the matters concerning the Yun family.

"Aunt, you and I are not from the same branch. More than 30 years ago, the inland area was unstable, and the Yun family split up. My second great-grandfather and third great-grandfather took their families overseas."

"The branch that remained inland was my great-grandfather's."

"As for your branch of the family, I don't know where they are right now."

She guessed that her aunt's family members must have all died, otherwise her aunt wouldn't have become someone else's adopted daughter.

Upon hearing the last sentence, Yun Guiyue looked up blankly, her eyes filled with anticipation. Perhaps...

Her family is still alive, but they have become separated from her.

She felt relieved and somewhat happy, but the thought that she was the only one left in her great-grandfather's branch of the family made her sad again.

Her sadness stemmed from Ah Li, and she felt sorry for Ah Li alone.

"Aunt, let me tell you about the family history from the beginning."

Yun Guiyue wiped away her tears and nodded, "Yes, I also really want to know what kind of family I was born into."

"The Yun family is a prominent clan in H City, an inland city. More than thirty years ago, there was constant warfare..."

This lecture lasted for more than three hours. Yun Li concealed the truth about Yun Jiaoyue and himself, but told her everything else in great detail.

As darkness fell, Yun Xingwan, who was leaning against the door, had numb legs and her face was full of shock.

It turns out that my mother's family is so powerful and so wealthy.

But where did my maternal grandfather and uncles go? And where did the money they brought from overseas go?

Why did Mom become the Qian family's adopted daughter?

This was the question in Yun Xingwan's mind after listening to Yun Li's story.
