Chapter 523 - Mysterious Island
"Your background is rather pitiful. Both your father and mother died, and your grandfather also pa.s.sed away. You are an orphan."
Cheng Liyue"s eyes were slightly wide open. This truly sounded painful, and her eyes immediately became moist, "How did they die?"
"Your parents were in a car accident, and your grandfather pa.s.sed away due to illness. Just three months ago, right? Three months have already pa.s.sed since the letter was delivered to us, and it has been delayed for a long time. After my grandfather received the letter, he told me to immediately come find you, so I found you. " Lan Jia looked at her beautiful face and thought, he is willing to accept this girl as his wife in the future. If he really does have Ye Xiaos.h.i.+ and he doesn"t look good, then he would have to be responsible for an ugly woman in his life, he would go crazy.
Of course, this was a very b.a.s.t.a.r.d idea. He would secretly send his subordinates to continue searching around the city, and after he found the real Ye Xiaos.h.i.+, he would give her a huge sum of money so that she could live a life without any worries.
However, when he chooses to marry, he must choose the girl he likes.
Because of his grandfather"s forced marriage, coupled with the fact that he needed an Oriental girl as his wife, she lost her memory once again. This was simply a perfect subst.i.tute.
Cheng Liyue listened to all of this and looked into the distance with a sorrowful gaze. Everything that was currently in her mind, was told to her by Lan Jia, and in the midst of her doubt, she still chose to believe.
This was because she was unable to grasp a single memory from her mind.
Lan Jia suddenly reached out to hold her hand, and she instinctively shook him off, as if there was a strong feeling of rejection in her heart. Lan Jia squinted her blue eyes, "I"m only holding hands, I want to bring you to see my grandfather in a while."
Cheng Liyue just did not reject and gave him her hand. Lan Jia smiled, then pulled her along as he walked down the stairs, preparing to bring her to meet his grandfather, a respectable old Count in this country. And after their marriage, he would immediately inherit his position and become the new Count in the clan.
Although his current status was n.o.ble enough, being a Count brought him maturity, he was willing to be crowned with this t.i.tle.
Cheng Liyue looked at the garden and its gardens, as well as the groups of servants dressed in uniform along the way who looked like fairy tales. She watched as they worked in the garden and reaped an extremely abundant amount of food, as if this island was part of a self-sufficient circulating system.
In terms of architecture, the family was very rich.
"From now on, you are the mistress of this place, and the management of the entire family will be in your hands. What do you think? Are you nervous?" Lan Jia wanted to find a topic to talk to her, because he also wanted to understand her personality. He was definitely someone who was going to get married.
Cheng Liyue shook her head, "I might not be able to do that."
"In the future, since you"re the Countess, you have the final say here. You can do whatever you want and no one will stop you."
Cheng Liyue turned her head to look at him, "Then why don"t you care about me?"
Lan Jia suddenly laughed, "Why would I care about you? I support everything you do. "
"But we"ve only just met. We"ve only married according to the wishes of our elders. Don"t you worry about my bad character?" Cheng Liyue continued to look at him, because this Lan Jia looked to be only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, or maybe even younger, she was not afraid of him at all.
For some reason, she found this calmness rather unbelievable.
If she had been an orphan, she would have appeared to be in a panic, afraid of the people who had status in this society.
However, not only was she not afraid of this Lan Jia, she even felt a sense of relief.
Lan Jia was also curious about who this girl was before she lost her memories. Looking at her clothes yesterday, and the necklace around her neck, she did not look like an ordinary girl.
But why did she lose her memory? Furthermore, her mental state was not very good last night, so he concluded that she must have suffered some kind of violence at home that caused her to lose her memory.
Even so, he needed a wife, and she also needed to be separated from her former life. He had a more selfish idea, he might as well keep her here, let her accompany him, and let them live together for a lifetime. Moreover, it was clear that this girl"s appearance, in terms of status, knowledge, and appearance, was compatible with him.
This was a place where no one dared to disturb them, and it was a place that seemed very mysterious even on Earth.
Although his family"s businesses were scattered all over the world, with several extremely profitable businesses in place, most of his work was done on the island, accompanying his grandfather and his family members.
The two of them walked along the small path formed by the green trees. Sunlight shone down, forming a circle of dots on the ground. It was fresh and beautiful.
Lan Jia"s gaze continued to size up Cheng Liyue"s body from time to time, he suddenly had a very curious thought about who she was. If she wasn"t Ye Xiaos.h.i.+, then who was she exactly?
However, for the time being, he would not investigate. In the future, he would definitely find out her ident.i.ty.
Walking out of the manor"s building, Cheng Liyue saw a black sports car parked by the roadside. Cheng Liyue was a little surprised, it turned out that the place the grandfather and grandson duo lived in still required a car to drive.
Lan Jia slowly opened the door of the copilot for her. Cheng Liyue sat inside, looked at her in front, and was pleasantly surprised at her luxurious car that was worth millions, it seemed that she was really not an ordinary girl in the past.
Cheng Liyue turned and looked at the scenery outside the window, her mind was in a mess, was she really Ye Xiaos.h.i.+?
After ten minutes of travel, they arrived at another, more cla.s.sical residence. It looked like a castle, solemn, mysterious, exuding an ancient aura, like an old building that had existed for hundreds of years.
Lan Jia got off the carriage, and when he held Cheng Liyue"s hand, she still shrank back a little, as if there was some resistance, but Lan Jia still held her hand, and took her into the hall of the castle step by step.
A white bearded old man over 80 years old sat on the sofa, his eyes full of expectation. Looking at the girl who had been led in, he stood up excitedly, "Child, you"ve finally come."
The butler by the side slightly sighed, while Lan Jia"s eyes immediately swept across him with a sharp and warning gaze, signalling him not to sigh carelessly.
Cheng Liyue looked at this n.o.ble old man full of respect.
The old man called her by her name in Chinese, which was a bit b.u.mpy, "You"re called Little s.h.i.+, you"re so beautiful." With that, he looked at his own grandson, and introduced him with a smile, "My grandson Lan Jia, the two of you are born together."
