The Love That Remains

"Young Miss, how are you feeling now?" Granny Lan examines my nose . The wound is healed and leaving a faint scar on the bridge of my nose . When I fell off the bed, my nose was. .h.i.t the corner of the table . I fainted because of the pain . When I woke up, I was at home with Granny Lan fussing around me . She has been with my grandmother for more than twenty years . After my grandmother pa.s.sed away when I was twelve, she chose to stay by my side .

In my past life, Granny Lan was the only one who never left my side . Granny Lan pa.s.sed way when I was twenty-three . At that time, I went abroad for a business deal . I found out after I came back . n.o.body informed me of her demise .

I don"t think that I can forgive my grandfather or my relatives .

"Granny, I am okay . "

It"s been a week since that day . w.a.n.g Mei and Sung Jun visit every day, but I refuse to meet them . I don"t want to see their faces ever again .

"Young miss, they are here again . " Granny Lan informs me .

"I don"t want to see them, Granny Lan . "

"I know what they did, young miss . " Granny Lan smoothens my hair gently . "You should not be angry with them anymore . It was an accident . "

In my past life, Granny Lan never stopped worrying about me . After w.a.n.g Mei refused to meet me, she often saw me crying . After I decided to chase Sung Jun to Korea, she supported me despite my grandfather"s anger . Granny Lan was the only one who stood beside me until her death .

"All right . " I give in . I didn"t want her to worry about me anymore . In this life, I will treat her like my real grandmother . "I will meet them . "

Granny Lan calls Chen Lu to help me dress . Chen Lu is her daughter in law . She is a kind and honest woman . Chen Lu quit working after she was pregnant . But she often visits to help Granny Lan . After Granny Lan died, Chen Lu wanted to work in her place . I denied her request .

This mansion is left to me by my grandmother after she died . There are only Granny Lan and me living here . Granny Lan"s son works at my grandfather"s place .

Chen Lu helps me clean my face and tie my hair into a ponytail . I change into a loose white s.h.i.+rt and blue denim . In the reflection, I have an oval face, some fat on my cheeks and a faint scar on the bridge of my straight nose . My grandmother told me once that I inherited the fang nose . My great-grandfather, my grandfather, my father and I have the same straight and high nose . However, that"s where the resemblance ends . My grandmother never talked about my deceased mother . I guess that my brown hair, tawny skin and dark eyes are inherited from my mother .

I go to the living room . Sung Jun and w.a.n.g Mei are sitting on the couch . They stand up when they see me . w.a.n.g Mei is dressed in navy jeans and a brown s.h.i.+rt . Her red hair is tied into two braids . She gapes at me with nervousness, guilt and worry . Sung Jun is dressed in a white s.h.i.+rt and black trousers . Sung Jun has a lofty smile plastered on his face . He is at ease like he owns the place .

"Aisa, how are you?" w.a.n.g Mei rushes to me and scrutinises at my nose . I purse my lips and say nothing . w.a.n.g Mei never cares about scars . She is born pretty, but her knees and arms are full of scars because of her hard training .

"I am good, Kiki . " w.a.n.g Mei relaxes a bit when she hears me using her pet name . She beams and gushes, "Aisa, if that scar doesn"t leave, you can marry my brother . "

I am not surprised . w.a.n.g Mei"s younger brother is only eleven at the time . It is not the first time that she offers her brother like that . When I sc.r.a.ped my knees once, my grandmother scolded me a lot . w.a.n.g Mei was there when she heard my grandmother say, "You won"t get married if you have scars . " Ever since then, w.a.n.g Mei always offers her brother to marry me when I get scars .

"Kiki, I don"t want to marry your brother," I tell her and sigh . I don"t know the reason why she refused to meet me in my past life, but I don"t treat her bad now . Currently, her love and care for me are authentic . I can"t treat her bad when she is like that . Feelings change over time . When she refuses to meet me in the future, I will let her go easily this time .

Hopefully .

"You can marry him . " w.a.n.g Mei points at Sung Jun . "Don"t worry, Aisa . I will make my father force this pretty boy to marry you . "

I slap my head . Something is wrong with this girl"s head .

"I don"t want to-"

"Miss w.a.n.g, I said that I will take responsibility for Miss Fang . " Sung Jun breaks his silence and chimes in . He looks at me with amused eyes . "I will marry you, Miss Fang .
