Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

"Yes, he is. Ye Fan asked me to care for him before he left. Perhaps he's the last descendant of the Chu family," Old Madam Chu uttered heartbrokenly.

Even though I should've gotten used to deaths after witnessing so many of them over the years, I'm still profoundly impacted by Ye Fan's fate. After all, Ye Fan is the Chu family's descendant I have valued the most for years. Yet, he ended up dying before I did. The heavens are cruel, making me, a hundred-plus-year-old woman, outlive my great-grandchild.

"Can I hug him, Old Madam Chu?" asked the female visitor with a trembling voice as she struggled to suppress her emotions.

Her sight never left Chu Lin once she laid her eyes on him.

When the old woman saw that, she realized something.

"Yun, is this child..."

The woman was none other than the former head of Chu Sect, who had disappeared after the war against her organization, Tang Yun.

Tang Yun silently approached Chu Lin and stretched her arms toward him to hug him.

However, Chu Lin shrunk his head fearfully and hid behind his great-grandmother.

Clearly, he was afraid of Tang Yun.

Why did you give birth to him if you can't provide the child with a stable and happy life? It's you two's fault that he's suffering in this world! He's so pitiful, too pitiful.
