War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 284 She Doesn’t Blame Others, Only Herself

Chapter 284: Chapter 284 She Doesn’t Blame Others, Only Herself

With that withdrawal, it has been ten years.

Back then, it was because Old Master Yan had a conversation with the young miss, and she insisted on not returning, so the old master became furious and no longer wanted to know any news about her, letting her fend for herself.

Old Master Yan was too stubborn, unwilling to bow down and relent, as he always believed that the young miss, having been pampered in the Yan Family since childhood, would not be able to endure a hard life for long and would eventually come back on her own.

And the young miss also felt that she had severed ties with her father, and had no face to see him again.

Thus, during these ten years of losing contact, so many things happened.

Even when she learned of their deaths, it was through the newspaper.

When Old Master Yan learned that both his daughter and son-in-law had passed away, he was overwhelmed with grief, bedridden for a long time and full of regret.

Due to refusing to know any news of the young miss during that period, the old master did not know that they had a daughter out there.

Later on, how the old master came to know that they had a daughter and that he had a granddaughter, nobody knows.

It was only two years ago that the old master suddenly announced for the entire Yan Family to investigate a girl named Gu Yan.

If it weren’t for Tang Yuxiu’s significant reputation in the business world and their constant attention on the Tang Family, it would have taken much longer to find her.

Fortunately, they found her while the old master was still alive.

The old master had no regrets left.

Currently, Gu Yan’s miscarriage is still hidden from the old master, and the three people sent over were only told that Gu Yan is weak and needs rest.

The old master is aged and cannot handle any shocks.

If he were to know that the granddaughter he just found lost her child because of the news brought to her from him, he would be even more distressed.

"Miss, the old master already regrets being harsh to the young miss back then. Now, he is just an elderly man. I implore you, Miss, to return to see the old master after you have recovered."

Gu Yan lowered her head slightly, paused a moment, and faintly pulled a curve on the corner of her mouth, "Uncle Fu, what are you saying? I have family, I’m happy beyond measure, I won’t blame anyone, it’s all fate. Since the past already happened, I won’t bother about it, nor will I blame my family. After all, I’ve been alone for so many years; having family is a wonderful thing. Once I recover, I will naturally go back to see... grandpa."

When Gu Yan uttered the word "grandpa," it felt unfamiliar and somewhat awkward, yet she felt a warmth returning to her once cold and empty heart.

This is what having family feels like. She hasn’t been abandoned by the whole world.

The butler smiled upon hearing Gu Yan’s words, "If the old master knew that Miss doesn’t hate him and wants to go back to see him, he would be very happy."

"Uncle Fu, in my current state, please don’t let grandpa know, so he won’t worry."

The butler felt greatly comforted, as Gu Yan still cares for the old master, ultimately blood is thicker than water.

He had always thought that their appearance ruined her future and happiness, even causing her to lose a child, and she would resent them in her heart. Even if not hating, she wouldn’t accept these newfound relatives.

But Gu Yan is very understanding; she never places blame on anyone.

Yet, she blames herself.

The butler particularly felt sorry for her.

"Alright, we will keep it a secret, Miss should focus on recuperating. If you need anything, just say the word, and Old Fu will make it happen for you."

Gu Yan smiled slightly, "Thank you, Uncle Fu. I don’t have anything I need, just a bit tired and want to rest."

The butler responded quickly, nodding, "Alright, Miss, rest well. If there’s anything, just call Xiao Hui; they will be right outside the door."

Gu Yan nodded, "Mm, okay."

The butler stepped out, sternly instructing the three outside, "Take good care of Miss, if there’s anything wrong with her, you know the consequences!"

The three answered respectfully, "Yes."

The Yan Family’s discipline is strict; all descendants follow the rules, not daring to overstep or disobey.

They are also very demanding regarding the staff, strict reward and punishment, and everyone does their duty loyally, without a hint of disloyalty, devoted to serving the master.

Especially as they were personally selected by the old master, they were the best of the best.

The butler didn’t need to say more; they clearly understood all too well.

After the butler left, the three dared not slacken for a moment.

Even though they traveled through the night and hadn’t closed their eyes for a whole day and night.

In the ward, Gu Yan slowly lay down.

Today, she could still feel the pain in her abdomen, each spasm a reminder of what had happened, what she had lost.

Gu Yan closed her eyes; her body was tired, but her heart was much more so.

She hadn’t actually slept well all night; every time she closed her eyes, many images flooded her mind.

The scene of her mother jumping into the sea right in front of her...

Tang Yuxiu desperately begging her to stay...

The moment she learned she had lost her child...

She even saw a small child lying in front of her, covered in blood, with innocent eyes coldly accusing her, "Why did you abandon me? Why? Mother, you don’t deserve to be my mother!"

Gu Yan looked at him heartbreakingly. She wanted so much to go and hold him, to tell him, Mommy loves you, Mommy didn’t mean it!

Child, I’m sorry.

Gu Yan curled up under the covers, tears silently soaking the pillow.

No one could understand her pain, and she didn’t want to tell anyone, didn’t want anyone to know, so she bears it alone.

When Yan Shuo arrived in the afternoon, Gu Yan was sleeping.

She frowned, sleeping lightly.

Yan Shuo only whispered a couple of sentences to the butler before she awoke. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

She didn’t look well.

"Xiao Yan, you’re awake, how long have you slept?"

Gu Yan paused before answering, "An entire afternoon."

Hearing she had slept for so long, Yan Shuo finally eased a bit, "It seems you need more rest; you don’t look better."

"It’s nothing, probably because of my health."

Speaking of her health, Yan Shuo felt a slight pang, his eyes dimming slightly.

Gu Yan sighed, saying, "Cousin, forget about this matter, it’s not your fault, you don’t need to blame yourself."

Yan Shuo raised his eyes, asking softly, "Xiao Yan, you don’t blame me at all?"

Gu Yan shook her head, "I shouldn’t blame you; ultimately, it’s my own carelessness that..."

Gu Yan paused, that she didn’t even know she had a child.

In truth, it was because of her own lack of awareness, her failure to realize, that caused harm to the child.

"Cousin, you’re right, it’s perhaps better this way. Between him and me, there should have never been any more ties or entanglements."
